February
Hello!
According to FF it was approved for installation a few days ago, but today the scenario was reversed and it isn't no more...

For me it has not changed : b402 has been approved without IMEI for a few days, but not with IMEI.
So, it can't be installed.
It will eventually become approved with IMEI within a few days, as it happened for previous updates.
It will probably be the same with today's b403, which I think will become approved in the beginning of next month, and so on.
Got it in Croatia today. Only security update of February. I'm shocked that honor brand is getting that fast security updates. if you compare it to Samsung which has 3 times more expensive phones and sell like millions of millions of phones every year, honor is really really fast with this, even Samsung devices got February security fixes one or two weeks ago. If only they would be that good with major updates. I'm looking at you Oreo. [emoji14]

Firmware for SM-G975W

Hi,
I purchased an S10+ from Telus today and I was wondering what firmware I can use to update it. I'm on February security level and I believe there is more recent available.
Based on a thread in the Guides section, the Muti CA. Firmware doesn't cover the TLS "region"
Thank you.

The latest firmware ends with VLU1ASBA and has a February security patch. If that's what you see. You're on the same firmware as everyone else with Telus and most likely Canada.

Thank you, that's what I'm running. I thought maybe the phone could run something more recent. Similar to the Note 9 that was loaned to me for a bit, it was XSG region but I was able to find updates via samfirm or XDA.
you might as well wait a day or two .... cuz the march security update is supposed to release april 15th .... u can see that on telus update schedule

I'm not aware of being able to cross flash. I would suspect that if possible, it would probably be destructive to the data on the phone. Perhaps one of the more modding savvy folks can chime in and provide better instructions.

I am in the same boat. Mine is SM-G950FD (UAE version) bought from US and using in India. I am still on October 2018 patch. I got a few updates after I bought it, then it stopped. :crying:
I saw that some people who had bought from one country (UAE in particular) had their phone sensors bricked during earlier OTAs while they were in a different country. I hope that is the reason they are delaying updates for our phones and not because they blacklisted us.

Just a thought. Did you come back to India after Feb 2019? I came back during Nov-Dec 2018. I stopped receiving updates around that time. Could it be that Samsung don't push updates if we are not in the original country?

Sorry, I am not sure. In my case, the box had the country written and there were a few UAE specific apps.

That's good news. :good:
Just checked and it still says I am on latest update (Oct 2018). Where did you buy your phone from? Mine was from B&H PhotoVideo.
Battery seems to be draining fast in this update.
