As usual since I'm on a factory unlocked S5 I have no access to OTA updates and the Samsung update software is worthless acting like no updates ever. Anyhow, I can't find anyone posting the stock 6.0 file to sideload or Odin. Would someone mind directing me to one or link one? Decided to go with it since ATT released it a week ago according to the change log on August 26th.
Just for the purpose of tracking the rolling out process in the north America region, let's try collecting some date information when you receive the rollout. The process of this upgrade could become a helpful guideline for future upgrade events in the region! Models L04 and L14 might be involved. Let's also comment on your state, wireless service provider, if you are in the beta group and when you got the phone to see if anything is correlated.

Thank you!
Now, on the official Honor_USA social account, https://twitter.com/Honor_USA, N is coming on Feb 11th. Period.
Update: from Rox_honor, it's officially released on Feb 10th in the US. Some people have had this update already.
To force the update, you can check the method posted on Page 2, #16: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70992090&postcount=16.
Reserve for updating statistics, if possible. Again, the Google Spreadsheet to fill out is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XULbGwxpO0s_RH9EzbvWjLP48MNCz7vkolbT0TiMf7s/edit?usp=sharing
Feel free to add more columns if you think they are helpful.
So far it seems that only T-Mobile users are getting the update. Just tried to update my Mom's phone, we are on Cricket (AT&T) and there was no update for her. Tried putting it on airplane and restarting but still nothing. I'll probably try again tomorrow.

There is one entry reporting received the update while on Straight Talk. We need to have more data in order to figure out the rollout sequence. GOOD LUCK!
i purchased the Unlocked Honor 8 from US (amazon). But I'm an indian user and I'm using it with an indian carrier . will i get the update as the other north american devices or do i have to wait longer
Did not get the update (FRD - L04)
But I forgot whether or not the L04 is international or US (i live in the US though)
yeah i havent gotten it either still says no updates available
I haven't received the update either on L04. I read on the other thread that it rolls out in small batches.
Edit: Here's the post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70964112&postcount=392
Nothing on L04 AT&T yet. Purchased from NewEgg and first activated in December.
Got it 3 weeks ago. L04 from b&h.
Bought it unlocked at Frys a week ago and received the update yesterday. I just want to caution all rooted and unlocked users! I received the update yesterday and upgraded it like a fool. I cant get into twrp recovery and the stock recovery seems to be broken. I even installed a newer twrp thru fastboot but im still not able to go into recovery. Im looking through all the forums but no one seems to have this problems yet. Im still waiting on some help if anyone has a solution. So please be aware before updating. Hopefully Im the only one with this problem.

Ahh, I was an idiot and had the same thing.
What happened is that I was rooted, and installed via Charles app, and it bugged out.
The reason for that is that TWRP can't install the stock ROM.
You need to get into fastboot, and reflash the stock recovery, and use it to dload the emui 4.1 file. Make sure you get the full package version.
After that it will be all wiped. You might run into a few errors but let the recovery do its thing.
You'll eventually be able to boot into the OS and then run the update normally.
I want to root my honor 8 on nougat, but I'm waiting for a patch from Huawei first because of all the bugs, just because of this.
Also I don't think rooting the honour 8 on nougat works that we'll yet, hopefully someone comes up with a method that doesn't suck so hard.
Hopefully they'll do it quickly.
Do you mind pointing me to the right direction to find those files? stock recovery and the 4.1.
Ive seen the rollback files... is that what you're talking about?

I used the firmware finder tool for it. You can get it for Windows. It's somewhere around the forum, but you can probably Google it.
Once you get the full package you can extract the recovery.img from it.
Unlocked FRD-L04 bought from Amazon. Living in Argentina. Got update yesterday. Really happy with it.
Folks, if you are impatient, you can use the Firmware Finder to send the Firmware B360 (I am using the Jan 3 one) to your Updater for a full package update. More information can be found at https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/news-huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3550882
A few notes here from my personal experience:
1. Once you set up the proxy from the Finder's proxy app which should be downloaded after you enabled the "send firmware to updater" (check notification afterward), you then click on the latest firmware # and "send firmware to updater".
2. On the Setting/Updater, click the menu and use "Download full update package", which should direct you to a 2.27Gb package (not the 1.28Gb package, or you will not be able to login!) and click on the "Quick update" button. You may need to wait for a while to see this option. Up to now, you may not be able to download anything yet.
3. Go back to the wifi setting and turn on proxy setting to "None" again and reconnect with the wifi network. Now you should pause the Updater and then resume it. You should now be able to download the full package and install it.
4. After all the update process, it could be helpful to charge your phone without the screen turning on. This is told to be useful to optimize the battery performance immediately after the update. The phone might be slow in a couple of hours as optimizations are going on in the background. But everything will become normal afterward
Good luck!
bought L04 from newegg using it in Pakistan no update for me as of yet
This is all bulls*it. Same update we got in january, and by the way, it's buggy.
L04 here, bought from Amazon about a month ago. Running on T-Mobile US. Still no update yet.
Is there any way to change the white notification background? I prefer the old color scheme, Mich easier on the eyes at night.

Edit: Received update on US single SIM L04 on Straight Talk, ATT towers.
I just bought a refurbished AT&T Galaxy S7 Edge and is on the May security update build G930AUCU4BQD4. I looked online and the latest build for the August security update is G930AUCU4BQG1. I go to check for updates and it tells me its up to date. Does anyone know how can I force the cell to download the update. I tried looking for an OTA file to use and flash from recovery, but no luck.
Thank you.
My first question is did you buy an Edge which is a 935 or the S7(Flat) which is the 930. Depending on that the next question is who is your carrier. If it is ATT then you should be able to OTA with no needed tinkering. If it is not ATT then you would have to sideload the ota zips via recovery. Plenty of links and descriptions on XDA for how to do that, but we need to know which phone it is first.

It's the 935 edge att, but not getting ota's. I did find the files to update, but I am not sure if it will delete restore the phone to factory.

Sideloading WILL wipe the phone. I still am not clear on whether this is a 935a or a 935v with a fw. Also is your provider att. The only reason I am aware you would not get it's is of you flashed a leaked or beta fw that has no upgrade path. Try to Odin the full fw.
Bought an unlocked S8 from Samsung I use AT&T for service. I wouldn't be opposed to flashing/odin'ing AT&T firmware. Currently on build NRD90M.G950U1UEU1AQH3 and the August 1st security patch. I'm unsure of the best path to get to an AT&T firmware.
Go to the att section. Find the qf7 firmware and flash it with Odin.
Go to the adb update from server thread. Download all the firmwares (starting with qf7 to whatever it is) and put them on your external storage. While on qf7 reboot into recovery and select install update from storage. Flash each one, after the last one wipe data/factory reset and reboot.
So to be clear, flash AQF7 in Odin. This will get me onto an AT&T specific SM-G950U (<-- Not U1) ROM that I can then sideload the updates onto? Is sideloading the ADB updates just to speed things up vs waiting for OTAs once I'm on the correct ROM?
I flashed my at&t version to AHQ3 thinking I would be getting faster support. I am also surprised that the Unlocked AHQ3 is still on the August security patch. I really expected this version to get patched much faster or am I missing something?

The US unlocked version is the red headed stepchild of the S8 world, it really is slower for updates.
I am running AQK3 on an ATT version, think I got it from sammobile, just got one I think it was the VZW version but don't remember, didn't change the AT&T bloatware... since I did not pawn/root it in my current setup. Patch level is oct not nov...
You should have received the November security patch update last night or should be getting it sooner than later. If anything try running the manual software update on WiFi when you get a chance.
Hi xda Team
I've been searching through the forum and reading just to find a bit of answer before I ask, however, the answers I've found are really limited.
Let me first off say I am a n00b....... awesome glad we are now on the same page
I have an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S8 ATT version currently on baseband G950USQU1AQEF, it only got there because I found a thread where I could manually download each update file and place it on my card and do a manual update .... now imagine having to do that for every single update... sucks huh??
The main issue is my found would not do the OTA update, it keeps saying its up to date so I am still stuck on android 7.0 when 8.0 has been out for decards
A post was made of the official firmware update .. here is the link https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s8/how-to/att-g950u-stock-odin-files-firmware-t3795961
My question is can I simple download odin and install that update without any issues??
Will it lock back my phone??
Please let me know if I can just go ahead and install it.
Thanks in advance for your answers and understanding my noobiness
Go to Updato.com and search firmware for the G950U. Sort by date and the newest will be at the top.
The latest listed is CRF5 and says Verizon. Now, since the last 7.0 firmware I believe it was, ALL carrier files are included. Meaning even though it says Verizon, you can flash it on an AT&T variant and you will have all the AT&T bloat and no VZW. I always flash the Verizon version because it gets posted the soonest, and ones officially labeled AT&T never do.
You will need the latest update file:
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=9101315B86C211E89F15FA163EE8F90B
AND the latest modded Odin to flash 8.0 files:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JMjqNxg8Y8W-Tpo9TCYIb_LL7LhhpHri/view?usp=sharing
NOTES:
-I always remove the .md5 off the end of each file just to make it flash faster.
-Home CSC will keep all your info, the NON Home CSC will do a complete wipe of your phone
On the question of "will it lock back my phone?"
No. Once the phone is unlocked, that's it. Firmware has no affect on its network lock status.
