G935AUCU4APJ4 with Oct. 1 2016 security update

Better late than never. It's 252.87 MB. No documentation of it yet on AT&T's software-update page, but that should be coming soon.

Thanks! I was wondering when this was going to be released, especially when I saw that Google just released the November update for Nexus devices. Like you said, better late than never...

PJ4 update
New update. I downloaded last night. It adds something called Fullscreen? Any one else got any news on what changed? Says security patch level is October 1, 2016. Was about 250MB

Trying to figure that out to. Cant find any Changlog for this

Turned on the advanced messaging again for me. I turned it off since it wasn't working properly. Maybe it's fixed now.

Can we still root if we are on PJ4?
***YES WE CAN!!***

I wish AT&T would give us the performance updates that Samsung released a couple months ago. We just keep getting security updates and more crap software.

You know what? I'm not sure now. I could've sworn I read an article saying there was, now the only reference I find is for T-Mobile S7's getting a performance update.

I was on rooted stock PI2 and accidentally said OK to the OTA and it sent my phone into bootloop. Had to start from scratch.

Is the current root stable enough to use as a daily driver?

I can tell you this, it has Alexa support, improved voice recognition for Alexa and 10X camera zoom. As far as the rest, I do not know.

The article I read about it this morning said the updates were supposed to roll out at lunch today, but nothing on mine.

Nothing on mine yet either

Got it now too. It's probably still lunch time somewhere.

I wonder if we will get this official B183 OTA if we are on the beta from fh - MHA-L29C567B182-log. I hope I don't have to fh to get the official B183. If you were on the B181/B182 betas and received the B183 OTA, please post.
Thanks!

So you can't disable the Alexa app. Sigh

Nope and honestly its trash. Tried to set a timer and said it couldnt. Immediately put it in a hidden folder never to be seen again.
However this update has a bunch of bug fixes.
Dropzone popups when accepting permissions is gone
Ok google popup in the camera and other apps is gone
Screenshot now works on the first try
iheartradio doesnt shut off when the screen sleeps anymore.
Thats all ive found so far. Add those plus the 10x zoom and Id say its a great update.

C567B183 is available on firmware finder.

Currently using a US Mate 9 in Hong Kong and it's getting the B183 firmware now!! I was previously on the B167 firmware.
It's got the March security updates too!

Can someone extract the alexa apk for me

I do not see the update on my US version as of now.

Information - Issue & Solution- Android Pay Not working

Since I know many would come here to look for this issue and resolution as a first step, hence i am creating this thread.
Many users would see HTC U11 wont let you add cards to Android Pay, there will be a pop up saying that the phone cant be verified as it is either rooted, bootloader unlocked or running a custom rom.
It seems the Shipped ROMs are failing the SafetyNet / SecureNet Checks.
In case you are stock and this is happening, please go to to the
Settings -->About --> Software Updates--> There should be an update (bigger than) > 250 MB.​For some reason this update did not show up automatically for me, this update fixes the Android Pay issue.
UPDATE:
1.11.617.3 OTA fixed the Android Pay
1.11.617.4 OTA Breaks the Android Pay

So refrain from updating until HTC fixes it ..

Yup that is precisely the problem .. going to play store settings and checking device certification at the bottom shows as uncertified and here is another screenshot of what happens when you check for Safety net :

I can almost understand the shipping software having this issue as they just expected all phones to update with the day zero OTA during setup. How the hell is this broken again with a second update HTC?

guys google needs to approve latest version it is probably be fixed within 24 to 48 hours probably even without a need for another ota just google play service update or store update which normally happens on the background

This problem seems to have been fixed on Google server side. Android Pay works for me now.:good::good:

Build Number and Hardware? Updates?

My phone came with the following:
Build: NMI42B test-keys
Hardware: 1.8
So far my phone thinks it's rooted and I have not received the camera update.
Any other Build numbers/hardware the same?
Has anyone received the camera update with HDR or am I not receiving updates because of the test-keys build?

NMI54B was the update I got immediately.

Just an FYI to anyone following this thread NMI64C is rolling out now. I just checked and I'm downloading now... funny enough the device did a check at 12:35 EST today (or something like that) but it didn't kick over until now (2:10pm EST).

Add me to the list of test keys. My hardware is 1.8 and my build is NMI75B test-keys. What the hell does that mean? I just received this device today from a guy on Swappa. Did he modify it somehow? Will I still be able to get OTA updates?

November update and December update

I had to format the phone because of November update problems..now it ask again to download it and j can't see December update....should I download Nov update..will it cause any more problem..such as freezing of Google,Google Assistant,clock...i suffered from these once

Nobody can give you the right answer for that since there are few people who had issues and there are people who never had issues(I never had any issue, not on october, not on november and not on this update)
Google and gooogle assistant have general issue on all phones in recent updates of those apk-s(as you can see in users comments in google play), that's not the issue of mi a1 OS.
Noone knows if your unit will work properly or not.

And, by the way, shouldn't we be getting the Oreo update by now?

I had december update, but i messed up my phone by installing twrp. So i reflashed everything, and now december is gone. lol,. its funnny actually. Now OTA gives me november only (which i won't install), so from december i'm back to October.
Only God knows when they will give me another chance to install December patch...

Bugs...hardware issues..different network...different signal, user doing something the system..errors caused by using...it's a software, could be anything. Majority have no problems, but there are cases that do.
example:latest win10 1709 update is working fine on one machine and on the other it's cracking, on the third it's freezing, some apps are not working properly, pointer issues, somewhere there is a high cpu usage, random restarts..all that with the same hardware.
Even though most of users don't have issues, some report that their units are not working.

Manufacturers will usually not release an update for all devices at once. They usually start out at a very low percantage of devices (~1-5%) and wait for reports regarding any issues or failed updates. They then will increase the number of devices over the coming 1 to 2 weeks.
What you delete the google framework data you're esentially telling the google server that you're device has been factory reset which will usually cause you to receive any updates available but this might cause issues with system stability.
See this post from 2013:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...to-never-clear-google-service-framework-data/
conclusion: you can wipe your framework data if you want (i.e. we can't stop you), but you shouldn't. It is recommended to wait until your device is scheduled for the update.

In fact it's possible to skip one or more months and update directly to the latest version. There is incremental OTA between two versions (e.g. November -> December), between several versions (e.g. October -> December) and full OTA (e.g. July -> December).
