system update in Australia

I just got the 16GB 3GB RAM variant from JB HiFi but just wondering in what ways I can update the system to the latest version. It seems slow and the security update is still on January.
Hope someone can help. Cheers

If same as me (should be, in Australia as well), it's NPN25.137-67. I was on -15 beforehand. Had to check manually via Settings --> System updates as there was no automated notification, or at least not yet. Therefore if you're still on an older update i'd wait before installing anything manually - the official OTA can't be far away.

Yup, 137.67 as well. They have fixed my headset mic issue as Samsung AKG doesn't work

kool, good to know ive already installed the stoneware custom rom based on the -67 stock rom, was just wondering if anything newer is coming out soon. cant wait to give this nice lil phone to my gf as her bday present in a few days

Where did you buy your phone?
Was it from carrier or unlocked?

Same. This may be a stupid question but does anybody know whether the phone needs to be unlocked to receive updates if flashing away from carrier firmware?

Ah OK - So the only differences between us currently is the original carrier (EE for me) and the fact that your phone was unlocked prior to flashing.
Strange though. I thought on the S7 I typically saw the OTAs before they made an appearance on sammobile.

It was lock to UK AT&T and unlocked with code.. But I don't know why is that a problem?

Since the firmware stated improve on wireless charging stability, anyone who is charging using wireless charger still encountered stop charging issue when temperature more 40°C?
Update: OK, just installed & try, still the same **** & Samsung didn't fixed it. I'm so disappointed.

Has anybody who's flashed from carrier to stock firmware been offered the OTA?

ADB updates from server for N950U-ATT version

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

Anyone got a change log for it?
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.

Jkruse just posted his root method for Oreo across Carriers. All credit goes to him. This was posted in the last 24hrs via the safestrap thread.

I have Samsung Galaxy s7 edge sm-g953a when ever I try to update my phone firmware through OTA it's always said your software is update while I am currently on 6.0.1 October 2016 update. how i can update my phone to 7 or 8 android version?

Switch to the U firmware. AT&T firmware won't update without a valid AT&T SIM.

Has 1000% to do with the firmware. Has everything to do with the bootloader. The bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked so perm root is unattainable on the 935A or U firmware.

I think he's referring to the US snapdragon models.

Yep, US Snapdragon S8+ for Sprint has been released. Finally a Snapdragon model! Maybe the rest of the models will follow. Not published on Sammobile yet but by using the SamFirm.exe, I was able to download Android Pie for the S8+ (Sprint version).

Just flashed the Sprint Pie firmware onto my TMobile phone (Odin). Everything seems to be working so far.

Hey guys I made a guide for flashing this Firmware onto a AT&T or Verizon S8/S8+ if anyone is interested.

Worked perfectly for me. Didn't wipe/reset my phone, and all my AT&T stuff is still working perfectly (Wi-Fi calling, VOLTE, Enhanced Messaging etc).

I don't want to receive the One UI update. How can I effectively disable my S8+ from receiv eing it ?

Just don't proceed to update ?

S8+ on tmobile I installed the sprint update with the modded 3b Odin only two things to know first have the latest tmobile update downloaded from the updato firmware website so you can plug in the user data slot inn Odin with the tmobile one and second make sure you use csc home from the sprint update in the csc slot or you'll wipe your phone!

Got it last night on my GS8+ on ATT.

This can help others who do not want the receive the updated Interface / Android 9.0 Pie
under Settings >>> Developer Options >>> Auto Update System has been disabled.
under Settings >>> Software Update >>> Download Updates Automatically has been disabled.
This is the best option to prevent over night mandatory firmware updates that were common in the past.
