Just wonder if anybody know, I am trying to ask at source (Samsung support) but they do not understand my question or don't want to.
UPDATE:
Just now I received this:
"Further to your recent query, software updates are subject to hardware compatibility and at this moment we have no confirmed details on any planned updates for your device, or whether your device will be receiving the Marshmallow software update.
Therefore, you were advised to ensure automatic updates are enabled so you can receive the latest updates available for your device. "
Cheers.
Sorry, but it isn't

It wasn’t that long ago when published about Motorola’s update plan for Android 4.4.4 KitKat. They were already in the process of working on 4.4.3 and then got the notice about the security patch in 4.4.4. Motorola halted the work they were doing until Google was able to send out the Android 4.4.4 update to them. Once they received the 4.4.4 update they began working on it, and now it’s finished. Motorola is in the process of sending out the update to carriers around the world so prepare to see your update soon.
The update even includes some features that are not present in the Android 4.4.4 change log. All Motorola received from Google was a few small fixes and then a security patch for OpenSSL. Motorola added some additional features that we have seen added to other Motorola devices. They ended up updating the phone dialer, they added the ability to pause and resume video recordings and they enabled the ability to download Motorola Alert. The most recent information about this update was it being sent to Vodafone customers in the UK.
If you have a Moto G or Moto E and have received this Android 4.4.4 KitKat update, then please tell us about it in the comments’ section below. Don’t forget to mention your network and how the update process went. If you end up seeing any additional changes that were not mentioned in the change log above, then definitely let us know.

Let's hope the update starts rolling out on the retail.en.us firmware too.
Moved here, better suited here vice the Development Threads....Thanks.
Is there a download link for the UK 4.4.4 stock firmware anywhere? I'd like to replace my tesco firmware.
What is it? How does it differ from OK1?
Monthly security updates?
Nope,.. has the same date from 2015 which is odd because that's the reason I went through all the trouble of un rooting for the OTA. Even the Android version is the same as well.
speaking of security updates, anyway to update that manually if samsung is too lazy to push it out?
If it's a carrier specific phone then you can't do anything until they release their version of the update.
Their version meaning: Samsung has to release an update, then the carrier takes it and adds their own apps and bloat, test it (prohably) and then release it.
So, someone from AT&T FINALLY contacted me about my issue, and they informed me that the reason why Im not receiving the Nougat update is because I don't have the latest security patch. For some reason my Edge is still on the November patch. They suggested I go to Best Buy and have them flash the newest patch for 6.0.1, then I should be able to receive the update.
My schedule is rather hectic, so I'd much rather flash it myself at home. Can anyone please direct me to where I could find the most recent security patch so I can flash it in Odin?
First, you are in the wrong section. Please head over there: AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion.
Second, I think there's no newer Marshmallow release available. Anyways this may help you:
Marshmallow build
Nougat build
I was wondering how many and what updates everyone else have received and when?
I'm currently on the April 2017 security update and I received that in early June I believe.
I'm hoping Huawei can at least be excused by the fact they're working on an Oreo update instead of doing security updates and bug fixes (highly doubtful though). Mine is a Nordic unlocked model by the way.
So are anyone else receiving security updates?
Not here, in Spain. The thing is, I don't see any security patch coming till next EMUI version arrives, hopefully before the end of the year.
Not sure if this helps, but I found some way opening another security gap
As far as I figured out, you need 3 files for the update to work:
update.zip
update_full.zip (or update_full_WAS-XXX_hw_eu.zip)
update_data_full_public.zip
I am sure, FirmwareFinder or any other tool might come in handy doing so. The next thing you'd need would be TWRP which is available as some beta build somewhere on this forum. Then you'd have to unlock the bootloader and root your device to get TWRP on it. I'd recommend doing some research on this as you might have to get some code for "fastboot oem unlock"...
Flash the files listed above the way they're listed.
Does anyone know what's new in N910VVRU2CTI1? (the latest OTA the Verizon pushed on Dec2020)
what was updated? and any details?
Verizon says that it "improves the performance of your device." .. does it? and how?
Probably security
I'm curious about it too. Couldn't believe there was an actual update of any kind for Verizon note 4. Probably just a security update as person above mentioned. Have I noticed better performance? Maybe?
