I'm not really sure if this is normal or not, but my phone seems to be still on the Oreo BETA and had not received any updates since then. I checked the Oreo BETA thread and there was a person that had already Oreo with June security update, while mine is still on the April security update. I wanted to know if I have to roll back to the official rom manually or, once the official Oreo is released (or is it already released?), does my phone automatically receive the official Oreo update even if I'm still on the BETA?
Hey, I am quite certain that the phone will get the official OTA to Oreo once it's available for your device.
Best way to make sure is to plug it into the PC from time to time and check what HiSuite says regarding the update.
I'm in the same situation.
I wouldn't bother downgrading yet.

I just got the notice for the VZ S7 Edge official update.
Downloading it now.
update -Darn it! It's just the October security patches. No Nougat yet.

Official Android 7.0 won't come until after they test the beta for a month or so...the update you got was a monthly security update PI3. Anything after the PH1 update (update prior to PI3), you won't be able to flash the beta (either via official method or using ODIN unofficially). It'll error. I would be shocked if official Android 7.0 would come before year's end, however, anything's possible I suppose...
I was wondering how many and what updates everyone else have received and when?
I'm currently on the April 2017 security update and I received that in early June I believe.
I'm hoping Huawei can at least be excused by the fact they're working on an Oreo update instead of doing security updates and bug fixes (highly doubtful though). Mine is a Nordic unlocked model by the way.
So are anyone else receiving security updates?
Not here, in Spain. The thing is, I don't see any security patch coming till next EMUI version arrives, hopefully before the end of the year.
Not sure if this helps, but I found some way opening another security gap
As far as I figured out, you need 3 files for the update to work:
update.zip
update_full.zip (or update_full_WAS-XXX_hw_eu.zip)
update_data_full_public.zip
I am sure, FirmwareFinder or any other tool might come in handy doing so. The next thing you'd need would be TWRP which is available as some beta build somewhere on this forum. Then you'd have to unlock the bootloader and root your device to get TWRP on it. I'd recommend doing some research on this as you might have to get some code for "fastboot oem unlock"...
Flash the files listed above the way they're listed.
hi everyone,
since i side loaded Android 8.1 image i didint receive any security update! i check for updates regularly but there is no updates !
what should i do ?
fully stock locked bootloader.
lastest patch 5 january.
I just bought another nexus 6p( was enrolled into beta program ). I did flash the latest image from google, and yeah, seems like the last ota security patch is from january. Can someone confirm this ? I forgot to look at my last nexus 6p.
Latest sec Update february 5th here...but flashed myself due to unlocked and rooted...
I updated to Oreo OTA on Sunday. Have February security patch installed.

do you guyes know to to downgrade to 8.0??
i've manually flashed all the missing updates i think its the only way.
Yeah, something about the beta program of 8.1 froze updates at the January security patch for me as well.
I ended up dirty flashing the release 8.1 system image and everything works fine now, still don't get OTA update notifications though.
A few days ago, I did get the march 5 security update, after flashing this image 8.1.0 (OPM3.171019.016, Mar 2018) from google .
after flashing all the missing updates , OTA updates started to roll out as normal to me
So far, everything works as it should so I'll label the update as "Mostly Harmless."
The bad news is this may push the next update, maybe Oreo(?) to the middle of August if Verizon holds to the current schedule of updating every 2 months.
Anyone tested this release to be sure you can downgrade still if needed? No anti rollback implemented?
Sorry for the silly question, I'm currently rooted on October update, but I only get the November update. So I guess I have to update to November to get Pie?
In my opinion you can update your Android from any build. They will keep every build on their servers if it necessary to update build to November for pie so they update you November first then make pie update its only my thought.
Whenever you face any problem with update keep the backup in your PC and latest build with miflash tool and all driver install so you can boot your device.
I did updated my phone from July to November via ota.
