Thanks dxtian for the information!
Do you or anyone that have received the latest 8.5 update, knows what's new or if there are any enhancements or changes?

This update is only 1/3 the size of the last ones.
Can someone post the link to the update file? I'm not getting the update.
Update Instal ?
I think even though it's something that will never happen, because the BLU R1-HD has been discontinued and BLU does not update its phones so often, we would all have liked this update to be the promised Android-7.0 Nougat!
But unfortunately this New Version 8.5 archive only includes security patches (Until 5 junio, 2017), maybe that's why the size is only 134.53MB!

I do not have the update notification. I even keep checking manually, and keep getting
"Your device's software is currently up to date"

Same here. This update has apparently been out since the 13th. Why is it taking so long to roll out?
As I currently have 6 (six) BLU R1-HD cellphones and they all received the latest 8.5 update yesterday, it seems very strange that some had not received it yet.
Interestingly, although my 6 BLU R1-HDs were purchashed on different dates: 2 when the cellphone came out, 2 about six months ago and 2 last month, as I said before, they all received the update at the same time!
So, I am starting to believe that maybe BLU has temporarily stopped the v8.5 update, or is releasing it very slowly.
No one can get the update link for us unfortunate ones?

So I was about to go back to either 6.6 or 7.4.2 to see what update is offered. But before i do. What version were on before the update notice came?
I went ahead and reinstalled 7.4.2 and checked for updates. I was offered V8.4
so blu maybe has paused the update for some reason,

OK cool , I'm running the same software version, and read I wouldn't get it since I accepted the broken version
Really? BOC4 looks like a later build even if the VZW flyer looks the same. If it were the same it should have been reissued as OA8. Makes no sense that Verizon would pull it, prob for performance, sit on it and reissue the same FW under a different build number. It's gotta include some change, even if minor. I'm expecting we'll eventually be allowed to take it.
Where did you read that OA8's won't get it? I noticed the sammobile and one other story reported the build no. as OA4, not OC4 that's shown by VZW which may be leading to some of that confusion. Something issued as OA4 would have been a roll back from OA8 based on my understanding of how build numbers are assigned.
The comments from Android police
So I ODIN'ed back to NK2, unrooted, reset data and ran System update. I got the same OA8 update applied in February. So "taking the broken release negates the most recent update", is not true. There is no newer update that I see.
This is all very poorly communicated by Verizon.

FWIW I read an article yesterday that Sammy is in the finishing stages of rolling out 5.0.1 but it has no plans to go to 5.1 for the S4 & S5.

Since the posting on Verizon just went up on the 27th of this month, I tend to think that may have changed, but so far no update available.

Just got the update ... so far wifi smart switch seems to be workin again. Only been on it for 15 mins.
I've had it for I'd say 2 hrs. Everything seems the same a tad snappier,brighter colors and smoother transition
I assume some of you that are getting it are going to it from OA8?
Yup I was on OA8 before BOC4
Do any of you guys on the latest Verizon release, OC4, have Phone INFO ★Samsung★, free from the Play Store, installed. If so, under OS INFO, what is the changelist number for this release?

Mine shows 3846539
2nd release fixed borked initial
I took the first 5.0 release and had the fast battery discharge and overheating issues. Just finished day one on the 2nd release and have been on batt for 5 hours showing 6 hours remaining with screen use at 10% android os @ 10% android system at 10%. These are the same usage stats as before with out the battery being charged twice in the same timeframe. so I'm happy with the update and would recommend taking it if you were like me looking to root to fix the issues.

Thank you JohnKuczek! Is that really the changelist number for the new, OC4, build?
The reason I ask is that it matches, exactly, the changelist that the old OA8, Feb; build was based on.

I'm thinking those of us on beta 7.1.1 may have to roll back to 7.0 to catch OTA but not sure. Good question.. I'm gonna roll back and try and force update, no luck for me thus far on beta 711.. I'll report back later..

Great news tnx a lot for this info
I got the stock 7.1.1 OTA yesterday it's running good.
Hit the check now button to check manually, even if it already did automatically you can find the update manually.
Do anyone know if stock nexus builds support f2fs, and if, for which partitions? (I've done some mild google'ing on the topic with no definite answers).
I'm on the beta still no OTA update even when checking it manually

I checked mine about 100 times manually then downloaded full ota and flashed it using FlashFire app yesterday.
Any word on the Bluetooth issue from DP1+DP2 going away?
I had the beta 7.1, and had not received the official OTA.
my wife also has a 5X, but on 7.0, she got the notification the day after I read that they were rolling it out "in the next few weeks"
so I updated hers, then un-enrolled my device and as soon as I restarted mine I got the notification for 7.1.1
So far life is good with it, nothing major
the 2 things I am most peeved about is no Daydream VR and still have the Google search bar front and center (figuratively)
I enrolled my Nexus 5X in the beta program and when I try to side load the official 7.1.1 release it gives me an error: "Can't install this package over newer build. Installation aborted". Is there any significant change taking about stability and battery from the DP2 and the official release? Thanks!
Got the update to stock 7.0 few days ago. This is the fastest I have ever received any android update.
Did not even check manually for updates as I was not expecting this to be available or few weeks!
Well it's that time again VZW put out a new OTA anyone taken this yet what does it fix and is it worth it and I think all of us will be wondering is will it lock your bootloader Its unlocked
Me too, I got an OTA notification today, update size is 823.5 MB, don't know what build it is.
I have VZ Pixel, unlocked, stock rooted NMF260 with VZ service. Is it safe to install updates ? Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

I think your safe I doubt Verizon would lock your bootloader. That would wipe your device again
@Shiftydogit, @azn6929 got hold of a screenshot? If yes, pls share.
As you can see OTA notification
My guess is it's probably another patch or possibly a kernel update who knows or bug fix one of the three
Here it is

So one of you said you are on nmf260. That is December. So i doubt this is a "new" update, you are just behind. Google only releases on the first Monday of the month. VZ uses the same exact releases. There is no special VZ version.
Update away.

You'd just download them then sideload the OTA via recovery or you can flash it via fastboot/ADB but if you have TWRP installed fastboot will replace it with stock recovery
OK so with update my phone lost TWRP and root other than that bootloader is still unlocked and everything seems fine
Also build number changed after update OK then
If you are getting a new Verizon OTA, it is late. My Verizon Pixel updated to NOF26V (Feb security patch), weeks ago. NOF26V is the most current image for Verizon Pixels.
I updated. New build is NOF26V. Everything seems to be fine. But root is gone. lol
The last update I received was the August 1st patch. Is the unlocked version just being overlooked, or am I not receiving new updates?
I haven't gotten any updates either.

The last update to the u1 devices is AQH3. I have no idea why they havent updated.
Your options are do nothing, install a regular G950U rom and live with horrible carrier bloat and a package disabler, or root and run something debloated (done yourself or use a rom) and have 80% battery.

I had an issue getting updates when I used Odin to install unlocked fw and didn't wipe afterwards. Is that the case here?
You can always go to Updato.com and search for G950U1 to dl and install from there.
I received the November security patch update last night as well.
installed the update on my s8+ while having substratum layers applied. stupid system keeps crashing, even on safe mode. had to restore to factory settings.
