This morning, my Note received a rather large software update that installed without many problems. Most likely certain security updates, but I was surprised to receive it as we are not really "accustomed" to any attention from Samsung for this tablet. Any further comments from anybody else?
I got the same.

Sorry for the misspelling. I meant to say "without any problems" not "without many problems". In fact, the whole update process was smooth and fast. Everything works fine. I understand, however, that everyone's setup is different and my experience should not be the absolute rule.
Nothing here on my device. Although it might be because I'm in Sweden.
Did anyone see any changes? I dont see/feel anything other than the version number change even the security patch level date remained the same. Is there a changelog somewhere

I don't see any difference after the update, either. I wonder what it was supposed to have updated?

There's a whole new Lollipop firmware on the San mobile firmware site.
Yes...problems
My tablet updated and now the OS boots super slow and then does a soft shutdown and reboots a second time. It takes more than 60 secs to get to the home screen. Anyone know how to uninstall this update?

I've seen this post for a few days but not had time to respond till now.
I've got an SM-P605v. Haven't seen, or been able to download the update you've mentioned. This may be because I don't use Verizon as my connectivity partner, or it may be that my particular tablet's OS doesn't need the security updates that yours did.

I also have a SM-P605V but have Verizon as my carrier. I got the notification to update today. I don't see anything on VZW site about it nor under the specific SKU on SamMobile (still has 10/15/15 as the last official update). When looking at the SM-P605 model, there are some in the list (even today's date), though they are for non-USA countries.
Even so, it looks like they are still all Android 5.1.1, so it's likely just some minor tweaks. To my understanding, you would need to pop in an activated Verizon SIM to get the update for your specific tablet, as Verizon is the one that issues it. You can also wait until it's posted on SamMobile and manually do it. https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-P605V/

I think I found the official from Verizon: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-note-10-2014-update/
Software Version: LMY47X.P605VVRSDPL1
The current software update gives you the most up to date Android™ security patch on your device.

You should be able to flash this now that Sammobile posted it... https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-P605V/
I got this a couple of days ago - managed to odin flash after I put the wrong file and got the boot loader triangle a day before.
Its extremely stable and the tablets working like a dream - the only issue is no root.
Edit: I noticed a great improvement in battery management and it will charge to 100% from 30% in 4 hours before I flashed the 5.1.1 rom it took nearly 8 hours with a new(second hand) USB Flex connector and nearly 20 hours with the old usb flex connector to go from 30% to 100%.
I really like this tablet - it reminds me so much of my SM-N910F note 4.
You can root the latest firmware and also install twrp. I have a 600.

Probably just a security update
Please excuse my silly question but I have P600 with 5.1.1 and never rooted. Do I need to install twrp before I update or it doesn't matter? Updates always make me uneasy with locking bootloader or needing new root methods.
If you just want to update then flash with Odin and the appropriate file. Try looking at sammobile.com for the appropriate rom file.
If you want root then you will need to install a custom recovery using CF auto or Twerp - the latter will NOT work on the SM-605v version as the bootloader is locked and will result in the yellow triangle and stating that the tablet has a strange recovery and that you should see a verizon technician. By installing the recovery you can then update the system or even try out new roms created by the people of this wonderful community.
Rooting will potentially stop business application with built in security from working - i.e. HSBC application, Virgin Media app and Sky Movies apps will not work on rooted phones to name a few.
I updated and rooted and everything is working ok. I had trouble with 64gb Sandisk microsd with "sd card unexpectedly removed" error. Then it mount itself back. Sometime it shows empty and asks to format and sometime it works. Also the lockscreen flicker and that usually when the card error happened. I suspect they are related and it happens only when waking up the device. The card works fine with all my other devices including my note 4 on stock 5.1.1. I'm not sure what caused it because I just used this sd card with the note 10.1 and then updated and rooted all in the same day.
Anyway, I removed the Sandisk and now I'm using 32gb Samsung and it only happened once for maybe 12 hours (could have been 100 times with Sandisk). Also, I don't notice the lockscreen flickering anymore. I will see if this problem comes back or it just that Sandisk doesn't play well my note. I have seen many people here reported similar problem with other Samsung devices for too many reasons. I don't believe file format is the issue but I'm using exFAT.
I updated my J5 Pro (SM-530F) to Oreo, bootloader included. This update included RLC lock. So I waited 2 weeks for it to unlock. No luck. I tried the date change trick, again nothing, Samsung patched it even before this update came to j5. I tried restarting my phone after a week. Nothing. I tried waiting 7 days and then manually checking update, still nothing. I tried downgrading the bootloader, but there was OTA update which included September security patches, so I installed it, one thing I didn't know was that it rises bootloader's revision number. Now im unable to even roll back. All this time i had my country's sim card inserted. I really don't have any way on rooting my phone now and this sucks

I have the same problem with my J530F...i did exactly what you did and I'm also coming up on the 2 week mark with very little confidence that this wait will work either. Did you buy miracle box or just use the software? I tried this software, installed it but it would not open on my PC. Could you please post some steps on how this worked for you. I would be very grateful because this is driving me crazy! I also have had no speaker function since this update but that may be an unrelated issue. Please help me out!

https://t.me/j2017Oreo just scroll to the post from 22 september. There are all the links and instructions.
And by the way you will need to use custom kernel (like Helios) if you want to root. If you do this on stock some features won't work (like sim card). Plus, even on the custom kernel there are some bugs. For example adblocking doesn't work (at least for me) and some other minor thing like detaching from playstore, but I think that is the part of these "security improvements" in the new 8.1 kernel.

I highly encourage you to do that because you'll get notified when new update/fix or feature is available for our phone. Plus you'll get all the directions on how to fix the rmm problem.
So basically I've tried every method shown in YouTube or XDA on how to get the update but I still haven't received it. Should I worry about this or am I just a little impatient.
Important information:
After receiving the November 1st update my phone entered in a bootloop without any reason, I suspect it was due to the Google Cam app that I had installed while on 7.1 however I made it to 8.1 without having any issue so I doubt it. Anyway, after this bootloop I had no other option than to make a factory reset (loosing Gcam in the process). I was so pleased with the improvements the Google Cam made that I felt the necessity of installing it again. However, if used the same method that I did for the first time it would end in a factory reset since it had to unlock the bootloader. I found a solution on a thread which mentioned that this factory reset could be avoided if you press the volume down button while unlocking the bootloader. This worked fine. So what I did was unlock the bootloader, momentarily install Magisk, enable Camera2Api by flashing a module, uninstall Magisk and then lock the bootloader again. A restart later I had my phone working with Google Cam again (and still having to this day).
So my question is:
Could this affect in any way my OTA updates and be the reason why I'm not getting Android P?
Sorry for the long post but I had to make sure all this details were cleared.
I'll wait for a response :fingers-crossed:
You have seen all threads (both here and at miui.com) about broken networks?
The update was buggy, the phone should support LTE band 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 38, 40.
After Pie update it only supports 1, 3, 5, 40, 41.

But quite many of people complaining that they haven't received the update don't read the warnings about this (and previous version) beta release. - AFAIK it's not globally released as release yet...

I was a little aware about those issues but it looked like it wasn't a big deal. But now that you talk about it feels like maybe I was wrong ??*. Guess I'll just wait and see what happens.
Thanks for the info.
PS: what I'm more interested in knowing now is if the process I followed could have affected the OTA's in any way

Update
Thanks for the replys.
I didn't want to sound desperate about the issue and if the update is having problems or bugs I don't know if I'm still very interested. I only created this thread to gather some information about the update since I can't really find any reputable source talking about it and didn't know if it is rolling live world wide o was just a beta leak like many people say.
Update 2
I have finally received the update via OTA without VPN method or anything. What should I do? I want to preserve 4G connection but I'm not really sure if the modem used in Android Pie has compatibility with my country's networks (I'm from Argentina)
i accidentally erase my backup rom in my phone..and now my phone dont have os..and i download rom online..but i couldn't flash it..always an error is flash..REMOTE PARTITION DOESN'T EXIST..what will i do?? do ineed to root my phone??
Got the Pie update notice today along with January security patch. My question is for those who, like me, waited until the official notification to update.
With so many here experiencing problems with the previous update(s), it's hard to distinguish which threads are for it, custom, or for the latest Xiaomi update. Did you update to Pie in January? Are there any issues you've noticed with the update? Should I pull the trigger on the update or wait?
Any info is appreciated, as always.
Regards,
KB
I just directly installed January update, migrated from Oreo. Didn't face any issues as of yet.
By the way how do you guys turn on FM Radio?

I understand. I've not experienced many of the issues some have with the updates, though the battery issues a few updates ago were driving me crazy. Those seem to be resolved now and I can easily get 2 to 3 days out of a charge. The only reason I hesitated was I read some of the threads from the initial update Xiaomi put out, and was trying to be sure this one was less troublesome before allowing it. I saw a couple of folks complain about the loss of WiFi and Data on the first update, so perhaps all of the initial bugs haven't been squashed. I'm in Thailand, so need it to be as clean as possible.
Again, hope you get the issue resolved. Let us know if you do.
I am from Czech Republic and I can say I don't have any LTE issues, battery is great. No issues with Pie at all.

If you are a big fan of gcam.. Then dont update, else do it.
For me everything is working fine, except gcam focus issue.
Stock camera works though.

Well it works for me. Just unlock the bootloader, put the phone in fastboot mode, boot twrp cosmicdans from adb, flash magisk and when it boots open magisk and download camera patch for pie. It's really easy but i think when you unlock the bootloader you lose your data so think about it.

If you are stock 100% do it, if not hang out a while, no big issues now for stock, very few people on stock have had an issue with the latest Pie, those that do have very simple easily fixed things.

I have also lost my data connection since the update.
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this problem?
EDIT : It seems that the update deleted the apn configuration. Re-entering it solved the issue.
Based on the positive responses I went ahead and did the update since my A1 is stock. So far so good with no issues I've noticed. Both data and wifi seem to be working properly.
Thanks for the responses!

Thank you for confirming that,
After rooting, and installing the magisk patch, can I completely unroot and lock the bootloader, and will the patch still work?
Will unlocking the bootloader also wipe data?
(i thought only locking bootloader will wipe, we can use the vol button trick)
Thanks in advance.

1. Unlocking bootloader wipes data
2. Does your phone contain nuclear weapon key? If no, then i don't see any reason you dont want a unlocked bootloader. (Manufacturer denying warranty for unlocked bootloader is thing of past, MI has no problem with it. Also you can lock phone just before giving it to MI store in any case)
3. As long as you install apps from playstore, i also dont see any problem with a rooted phone either.

I just want to stay stock and receive official updates and with gcam working as like on oreo. That's it Bro.,
That's why i wanted to unroot and keep the BL locked.
Will the vol down key avoid wipe for unlocking BL as well?
And will the patch work after unroot?

Ever since last week I got all sensors of the device not working for no apparent reason.
I've reported about this, but then found out it's a very known issue that wasn't solved by Google yet, and that it randomly occurs for Pixel devices of all kinds, starting from Android 10.
Because of this issue, none of these work: auto-rotate, active edge, flip to shhh, proximity, ambient light, double tap to wake...
I tried to do factory reset, I tried to re-flash the firmware, update it to Android R, but none of those helped. I wanted to flash Android 9 somehow, because it says that the issue starts on Android 10, but then noticed there is no Android 9 for Pixel 4.
Then I noticed that some claim they found a fix for it, but on Pixel 3-XL :
Ask someone with working sensors to share the following folder with you: root/mnt/vendor/persist/sensors. Please ensure the device they have is the same as yours (Pixel 3 (blueline) and Pixel 3 XL (crosshatch) are NOT the same devices). They should, ideally, share it as a *.tar file to keep the permissions of subfiles intact.
Instructions to generate this tar file are here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pix...4/post80833171
On your rooted phone running Android 10, navigate to: root/mnt/vendor/persist/ and first of all, backup your /sensors/ folder. Then, paste the contents of the tar file in there so you have the sensors folder from the working device that was shared with you.
Reboot and report. You should have working sensors now.

Can anyone please help me on this?
Would this help for Pixel 4 too?
If so, could anyone please share the file here, so that I could try it ?

Wait for an update that fixes your issue. Some have said the Feb update did it, some say no. Maybe the March update? I don't know but if you can't RMA then either flash another rom or wait for a fix from Google. It's a known issue so hopefully it will be fixed soon.

I had stock ever since I got Pixel 4 (had Pixel 2 before). Maybe a custom rom will fix it. Any that you can recommend? I thought there aren't any custom ROMs for it yet.
I actually don't know how to flash custom ROMs on Pixel 4. TWRP doesn't seem to be a possible solution on it yet, no?
I only succeeded rooting it with Magisk, by patching the boot file. Tried to do it on Android R (was worth it if it worked), but it didn't work, sadly.
On Pixel 2 I could use TWRP. For some reason I failed to let it stay, so I had to flash it each time via the PC just to run it. On Pixel 4 I couldn't even find TWRP. Maybe now it's available.
