This is not marlin...

Great to see your high quality information and Link's! Kudos

The verizon one is only for phones bought from verizon, right? Not for everyone on verizon even if you bought the nonspecific version of the phone?

December 8.1 images are up.

Do I need to opt out of beta in order to get this ota?

No. The Verizon update is for the unlocked Google store phone. Only use that one if you're on Verizon. The only difference is a different radio image that is presumably optimized for Verizon's network.

With this update my phone has reached puberty. The TTS voice is a fair bit deeper for some reason.

I want to try OTA! Will I lose my root by magisk?

Cannot update my unlocked Taimen with the official 8.1 OTA over the DP2, sideload says it's older than the current one...anyone else? I wouldn't do this otherwise but it's been 2 days since the official roll out and still no OTA via update.

You cannot sideload OTA on DP2, only full factory image...or wait until Google sends you an OTA that will work.

SM-G950U1 on AT&T, still on Aug 1 security patch, no OTAs, what to flash?

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.

Root, unlock, s-off VZW HTC 10 after OREO OTA

Hi,
I have a stock HTC 10 running Nougat right now. It is not bootloader unlocked, rooted, or s-off yet. I plan on sending it in to sunshine soon. However, I just got the OTA notification for OREO. I am afraid to install it, since I don't don't want to ruin the possibility of me getting s-off and root. Does anyone know if the Oreo OTA affects the paths to root or s-off? Should I avoid it until after I'm s-off? Is there a chance that the OTA will actually make root/s-off easier? Has anyone tested that yet?

Sooner is always smarter than later. Sounds like a question for the sunshine team.

This is what it says for the latest version:
SunShine is our bootloader unlock/s-off tool for Motorola and HTC phones. We currently support most HTC phones, and Droid Turbo, Moto X (2014), Moto X (2013), MotoG (2013) and Droid Maxx/Mini/Ultra on Android 4.4.3 and lower. All modern HTC devices (m9 m7 m8 e8 Mini2 remix dna etc) devices are supported up to 7.1.1, as long as they are rootable. SunShine can work without pre-rooting all 4.4.3 and below devices, and some 4.4.4 and 5.x devices. Some 5.0 and above users will have to root with HTCDev.com. Verizon M7 5.0.x users will have to temp root with the Kingroot app. DROID TURBO 2 IS NOT SUPPORTED

Yea they don't say anything about Oreo, though. Guess we'll have to wait until someone is brave enough to try it

My recollection is that anything past Marshmallow on the Verizon 10 and you're in mail-in territory. I can't imagine that Oreo somehow cures that.

I was on Sunshine IRC with a similar question. I bought a refurbished 10 on N and asked if I should take the O OTAs or mail it as is for unlock. The response I got is that it didn't make a difference, and that I could send it either way.

Shipped mine as was. N August 2017 update .23
Flashed the latest firmware from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70340070&postcount=2
This one >> 3.18.605.13 Combined Firmware with stock boot.img and stock recovery removed(will NOT wipe)
Used TWRP (installed to my device with SS mail unlock service) to install the latest Oreo OS (OP prior link) with options as suggested here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76271053&postcount=624
All is well.

Android 8 Oreo Update

Deleted

Maybe because the Sprint Oreo will be using BLv6 so its 2 numbers behind everyone else? lol ... anyone have any thoughts about what the BL-version could possibly be for the Sprint Oreo? ... could they or would they use a BLv4 like everyone else?

that was the Sprint answer

If anything, they would change it to v7. Maybe they are waiting for a merger, which could happen next week

I checked for update today and got 1627.64mb g930pvpu6cre7 Samsung experience 9.0 with oreo.

I haven't gotten an update from Sprint on my S7 since December 2016. I am still on some random Nougat beta version.
I thought a brand new firmware update to Oreo would reset whatever bug was in there causing this, but it looks like one person in my house got the Oreo update and mine is still saying I am up to date when I check manually.
Is there no longer an ODIN for macOS? I thought there was one, but I used it on another Mac maybe 4 years ago when I was on my S3 and rooting it. Doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Just received oreo on my s7 for boost. So far I'm not impressed. I was really hoping for Dolby on this but guess not. The build number is SMG930PVPU6CRE7

On Mac you can use Heimdall to flash the latest Nougat firmware then update through OTA to Oreo. Because there isn't any firmware file yet on Updato or Sammobile.

i manfully updated @ 4:15. they sent it @ 1627.64 mb. still downloading. when I got my att update I tried all the batch root methods for my 935a. saving magisk for last bc I didn't have the boot.img for the cre4 update.
I I only had the "att beta" update from March. long story short it won't boot with the nougat eng.boot. I gave it an hour. I cleared the cache, factory reset, tried to add flash all of the earlier img files I had for oreo, nothing worked. had to flash it back to nougat bra1. I immediately requested the update again. they approved. the next day I attempted to flash magisk 16.4. w/ the modified odin 3.1.3 version. it wouldn't flash. with the cre4 boot.tar in hand, I tried every method on gods green earth to gain some sort of r/w access. it was late, I was tired, I flashed the eng boot. once again it was stuck at the Samsung boot logo. it wouldn't allow me into recovery to push the cre4 update zip. once again I'm back to bra1 nougat. I booted into recovery & updated it from the sd card. when it booted I noticed it wasn't anywhere as clean & polished as the ota I had twice. I've flashed back to brd1 ten times, & requested the ota. after smart switch, I used all the avail windows software I could acquire & kept trying, they won't send it. but they did provide me with a new picture for my samsung account. I'll post it later. gotta check out this 930p oreo.

I don't think Heimdall works on High Sierra or even Sierra anymore.

I'm wanting to move to a SM-930U version of stock android on my 930P. But in struggling to do so for the past couple of weeks I finally figured out that sprint as updated the bootloader to version 5 and most of the firmware images for 930U are version 4 (android 7 nugut). (PU4 vs PU5) which results in a Odin fuse error.
The phone is currently nagging me to go from PU5BQL1 to BU6BRD2. If I understand the nameing convention that would move me to version 6 of the bootloader.
What are the odds I can move to oreo for 930U and avoid the bootloader fuse issue? I think I also understand that as of this posting date a 930U oreo firmware has not been released?

almost zero... asuming that Oreo for "U" Variants step up with BL on this month maybe next one, is something pausible but stepping up two versions in any short time is questionable... but who knows. The best you can do is wait this or the next month for BL update on U variants.

To be clear I'm still on version 5. I will continue to put off the upgrade to 6.

Pie OTA update no longer available?

Hello.
So I got the pie ota about a week ago but I didn't update. It was available for a few days but now it is gone.
I'm still on October 5 version.
Phone is all stock - locked bootloader.
Anyone with the same issue? Was that supposed to be the official global rollout so everyone has it now?
Tried some googling but I can't find any similar reports.

Probably removed, had a lot of bugs. Dont worry
