Just updated myself. I remember I had a system update pop up a few months ago that immediately disappeared and no matter what I tried it wouldn't come back. I was already on the August update, though. But, it's good to see SOME sort of update.
Interesting. I received an update yesterday for my Comcast (Verizon) S8+, but they didn't even bother to update the security patch as it's still on October's. Is it that much of a bother to include an updated security patch?
If thats the u2qk2 becareful with the update, they reported that fast charge has issues unless you dont care about that
after updating to this build i cannot downgrade anymore ,all odin i try fail.

I just flashed the unlocked 930U ROM on my Verizon S7. I notice that the Android Security Level is all the way back to May. Is there any way to force an update of this?
Go to Korea and kidnap the team responsible for updating that rom. Then, force them to build a rom with the newest security patch. Easy as pie...

LMAO no no no I meant to catch up to whatever the newest is. Maybe my understanding is wrong, but I thought that the security updates were pushed out separate from the actual ROM update itself.

They haven't had any so no way to get them.
May is the latest patch date for the 930u. I've been checking daily for an update. I even have the Samsung Smart Switch app installed on my PC looking for the updates for the phone. I'm not sure if the updates are going to come OTA or if they will be a PC download only. It would be nice to get one!

I just did my daily update check and a 180mb update downloaded and is installing now. Nothing exciting in the changelog. Improved stability of the Dial??? Security updates, etc.
The update size is 163.86MB for me

No, I flashed PG5 and PG9 from "full" FW with ODIN.
Hello again.
I was wondering what' the latest update for j5o6 (I mean the official one ofc)?
I've got j510fn (europe) and mine is stuck on the december security patch while clearly there have been updates & everytime I go to update it says it's already running the latest update.
Confused.
I'm still on stock rom, unrooted, knox 0x0...

Got an update today, minor stuff really, basically an april security patch...
Thanks to @Venom0642 and @DanMc85 i was able to get updates for Note 8 AT&T version. All updates are 100% AT&T stock from servers and can be apply by ADB sideloads. I will try to keep them up to date. Some updates are released and other not, so it is yours and only your choice if you want to apply them or not. Remember there is no updates to unreleased updates and if you apply unreleased update and AT&T will go with different one then you applied, you will have to ODIN back to stock and start again. So choose wisely.
Good Luck
Unreleased :
N950USQU2BQJA-to-S2BQK2 - Link is UP thanks to @Venom0642
Released :
11/14/2017 with October security N950USQU1AQIA-to-U2BQJA
On 9/25/2017 with August 1st security : N950USQU1AQH7-to-U1AQIA
EDIT- Warning : all ADB sideload will wipe your device, so make sure you have backup
Glad You Got this Going Here!:good:
Updates
I got the Note 8 unlocked and flashed the att version.
The version you have here is the latest and my phone is telling me I have the latest already. Is there a fix for this? It will be a pain to have to sideload and restore every time I want to update the phone. Wonder if the unlocked phone is checking Samsung's servers and not AT&Ts. Any ideas on this? Also where do you get the update files? Thanks for any help.

For AT&T SM-N950U1 users who flash the carrier Firmware have to sideload updates...this only affects AT&T users AFAIK. All the files are in different threads in this section...you can choose to flash complete AQIA (latest) or AQH7 (original) and then sideload the update AQH7 to AQIA as found in the threads...there may be an apn setting for OTA updates to work that you can edit though....adb sideload is simple enough though.
One may try just putting the update listed in op on their internal storage and boot to recovery and select apply update...to avoid wiping

Also if there ends up being a Note 8 Oreo beta do you think we could find the files the same way as this?

This is unreleased update and there is no change log as of yet, plus we don't know if this will be official release.
I think Oreo will be held on Samsung servers not on AT&T, but if on At&T I will get it.

OK. I have another update and is N950USQU1AQIA-to-U2BQJA . Uploading to Google drive but seem like bootloader is updated to 2 and firmware revision to B. So if anybody is willing to take one for team since we don't know if you can downgrade from bootloader 2 to 1 if you need it. I will post link shortly.

i got another monthly upadte but not oreo..
so, the way out is.. waiting with patience?!
My guess is they're going to directly update to 8.1 and skip 8.0 as it's less buggy. It wouldn't have taken this long?

Maybe it's a prerequisite for the Oreo Update. I had the OnePlus X before this one which got a small update like this for better support of marshmallow.

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.

Just got an update today. It's funny, because a couple of days ago I reached out to Samsung of America, but didn't hear back. So I reached out to several Android reporting sites, and then all of a sudden we get an update.

try to check the updates manually, at least that's what i did
Yep, checked manually. Nothing.
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.
