Hi everyone,
So, around 2 months ago here on XDA, I saw a thread about OneUi 2.0 beta. In the thread they explained a way to get the beta firmware using ADB / SD CARD method.
So I followed the guide and I installed every update where it came. After a while of updates, there was this final stable release update! So I flashed it like all other updates.
Now, my question is, will I get official updates? Or am I stuck at this build, if so, how do I get out of it? What do I need to flash, and will I lose my data?
I hope anyone can help me with this,
Kind regards,
Crewz
Yes, you shold get the normal OTA-Updates. If not, you can flash the software with your CSC via Odin, when it's released. But you have to use the Home_CSC to keep your Data.
But now the January-Patch is only avaliable in Switzerland. You will have to wait a few weeks for the Update.

I installed the Swiss yesterday, downloaded through Frija, works fine. I have nordic CSC but downloaded Swiss CSC.
Today I got security update from January, so I guess my updates are working, and I don't need to do anything?
Perfect. Today the January Update was released in many Markets, and you will get any further Updates without Problems

Finland, new Kies version. No firmware update -- still same offering: PDA:JVH / PHONE:JVO / CSC:JV3 (NEE)
I really hope they will give us something new. Like GTalk 2 with video support
I got the new Kies on Monday. In my experience that sometimes predates an Android update, which was promised for the end of September.
If you guys aren't using Odin, you may want to give it a try.
Once I learned about how to use Odin, I couldn't go back to Kies ever again...

I've used Odin and tried all the custom ROMs. I decided I prefer to keep it stock. Waiting for OTA updates to kick in though...
I am in Serbia and I got the same update, but no ginger yet.. I don't want to do it myself because of the warranty,so I'm waiting for couple of months now..

I'm on stock currently myself. You don't need Odin for custom ROMs, there's plenty of stock already on samfirmware.com.
Kies already bricked my i9000m twice using Samsung official firmware. Samsung's response was that the firmware wasn't available for my area yet. I told them that Kies gave me the green light, and their response was still the FW wasn't approved yet. That was a PITA to get resolved.
Samfirmware.com has firmwares (including stock) that many have tried, and Odin takes the tedious waiting out too. Between waiting and 2 bricked phones from Kies, I am done with Kies forever!...

Hmm, Samfirmwares may be stock but not necessarily official releases. I don't trust Kies although I've never had a really bad experience using it. I just want OTA updates like I used to have on my Nokia 4 years ago!

There's a few that are 100% official. The rest are stock waiting for carriers to chop them up.
Honestly the only thing that you are waiting for is carrier bloatware.
BTW I used to be a Nokia e71/72 user myself...

Luckily mine is carrier-free. Discerning the "final official" roms and installing them whilst retaining my current set up is what concerns me. Like I said, petitioning for OTA updates.
It would be best to work like google chrome browser auto update. It downloads the update, and next time you start it it installs. No questions asked... no time wasted... Always the newest firmware. OTA of course. It could work on android. Downloads update, waits for restart. When restarted if battery >60% installs. Piece of cake...

Now I'm on JVS STOCK+ v1.5 and with this new Kies version , when I plug the phone and open the Kies, the message displayed is:
Firmware information
S/W version in your phone is not an official version.

Kies works ok but this message didn't apears in the old Kies version.
Lol
Samfireware.com does carry stock Samsung roms (it is not an official Samsung site) and they aren't official releases.
I have the 2.3.5 update from there and it is noticably quicker that the official 2.3.3. That being said kies detects the new version and says that its not official and that the upgrade service is not available for non-official versions. If samsung release an official update I might flash back to and older version then update through kies if I really had to which is no drama.

I noticed today the UK Samsung site has full instructions for OTA updates, which they call FOTA, for Firmware Over The Air.
The instructions were posted just after the last official update in August. Hopefully a sign that OTA is on the way.

Guys, i need some help/tips about updating my Firmware. I have a samsumsung GT-I9000 with Android 2.2 (Froyo). I know that there is a newer version (2.3 or so).
I downloaded Samsung Kies but on the general information screen it doesn´t give me the option to update the firmware version, it is only showing me my firmware version (not the latest version available, neither the chance of updaiting it).
I have tryed to install the Kies in differents PCs and I had the same issue.
My GF has a Samsung 5500 (Samsung Galaxy Europe) with Android 2.1, and we had the same problem trying to (or not having the chance to) update the firmware.
My first option is to try with Kies as it is an official source (I don´t want to have troubles with the warranty), but if it is not possible let me know any other way to update our phones.
I will really appreciate any help.
Cheers,
It sounds as if your SGS is tied to a carrier, in which case you are dependent on them for their version of the upgrade.
I would contact them first. If you get no joy there your only option is to "unlock" the phone from that carrier, thus enabling Kies to give you the generic upgrade.
This is what I did. I was locked to o2, here in the UK. Upon unlocking I get the latest generic update via Kies as soon as it becomes available, which is months before o2.

This might help while flashing stock rom but avoiding not wipe the data. Not tested by myself in my 935FD as I only read it yesterdays AFTER flashed it from beginning (and getting tired of it).. however this method might cause trouble to XPosed nice modules like XTouchWiz

So its slowly rolling out?
Should I jump to German Firmware or wait for Australia?
But going German will wipe my device right? and Australia wouldnt
I also don't know if SmartSwitch software will allow to update with root.. just reading about it myself.
It seems to be rolling out but I guess it depends on countries... Like always...
Well the main problems I usually get is with Xposed, that require clean state phone... with s6 was ok though. If you don't use it it could be fine...
You know how is it, clean wipe will make phone literally 0 flaws while with wipe something can come up while you just spend half hour configuring it, but you know you always spend 3 hours+ re-configuring the phone to your liking from a clean state.... I guess everyone on this forum had a issue with this decision but in the end we all end up spending more time looking to the phone than we should. ahah

we love re-configuring phones, if you have a rooted phone, you will reconfigure it at least 3 times a month. haha
im jumping Germany firmware as they seem to get the latest OTA, gonna go germany so later on I wont have to wipe, but im worried about the radio 4G/3G would that affect it?

The problem with OTA is that they build over and over time you get a slower phone usually... with root you loose OTA anyway, so it was that excuse I used to myself for rooting my s7 edge the day I bought it
Shouldn't affect the radio but double check it due to CSC

I tried to flash the new rom from UAE with a modified HOME_CSC but after sucess flashing it got stuck at boot... However I used a firmware for UAE this time, despite being OJV. SO ended up with a clean phone again... so I'm not sure if I did it with a TUR rom like my original it would be ok or if I did something wrong while creating the tar file with cygwin. Notice that both are OJV.
as for root:
Most likely you need to flash it again... I just flash TWRP image trough odin and then superuser... however I found that after booting in need to go back again to twrp and format everything again except /system otherwise I get problems with Xtouchwiz module
How to update to a newer firmware with TWRP flashed?
Is it possible without a full wipe?
No one has an answer for it? I wanna know it too.
I hope there is a way without full wipe.

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.

Hey guys I recently sideloaded the latest oreo beta version on my s8 and now I am wondering if when the oficial oreo 8.0 comes out I will be able to get it OTA or will I have to use Odin to go back to BQL1 and then do the OTA update? I am obviously not part of the samsung beta program.

Theoretically, we are strongly advised to wipe out everything and start from scratch. However, I would rather do it once Oreo is out.
I couldn't help noticing an error occurred during the installation process, some SYSTEM folder or partition that couldn't be mounted due to ACCESS DENIED. Perhaps this is something related with having the device encrypted?

Yes I remember I saw the error as well, but everything seems working fine so far. I have T mobile and I know that the release of Oreo is going to take a while because they are not even in the testing phase yet.
Do you think we're going to need to flash back to BQL1 and then Oreo? Btw which Baseband version you have installed? I got ZRA6

I came across this website looking for ways to update to Oreo. I understand that all the firmware versions he has in the website are officially released by Samsung (including the Betas), the only downside is that he does not specify which software is which, you have to know the baseband versions you are installing.

That site only featured the build intended for the Snapdragon variant of the S8, also known as 950U. If you installed that build on your 950F I'm surprised you haven't bricked it.
