International SM-N950F Security Updates (Not US versions) - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hey guys, has anyone on an International SM-N950F received a security update later than 1st August 2017 yet?
I'm not talking about the US or Snapdragon models!

Nope, no one in the EU has till now.

Yeah, didn't think so. I've been Tweeting @Samsungmobile and @SamsunghelpUK but they don't even bother themselves to respond.

Samsung rolled today the BQK6 out for the N950F. It should arrive also for other regions shortly.

both my 950f unlocked models are still on august 1st security patch, don't see the big deal about it though

Hi, the big deal is that your phone is vulnerable to the KRACK and Blueborne exploits and is therefore insecure.

Indian version SM-N950FD has received November security patch today morning.

I've updated mine using this method earlier today, thanks!

SPAIN. No update so far

Still on Aug patch.

Still waiting....
Still on August as well.
I'm new to Samsung so the CSC has me a little confused. I'm in Canada but have the International version N950F/D. My CSC is reported as CHO/CHO/BRI. Since the update was released to BRI already, shouldn't I have gotten it or do I need to wait until it shows up for CHO? I'm currently on N950FXXU1AQI8 for Build Number and N950FXXU1AQHB for Baseband. Thanks....sorry for the newb question.
I'm still shocked at how a large company like Samsung let's their flagship phones fall so far behind in updates/security. I came from Oneplus, who used to have a bad rep in the software updates area but is nowhere near as bad.

Nothing in PAK yet. N950FD

Samsung SUX in updates..for their flagship device...strange.

Got my update this morning. 536MB, N950FXXU1AQHB, November 1st security patch. I am in Europe, Portugal. All good so far.

Got the update on my 950F (CCT: AUT) today

Are you sure you have the INDIAN-version (CSC=INS) of the Note8?
Because India has received the December security-patch already!

Since it is unlocked, U1, the update came from Samsung. not att. It was a minor security patch that brought security up to the December patch.

Thanks for telling them where the updates come from for the unlocked devices.
Carrier branded phones will get updated from that said carrier ok.

Thanks

It's bootloader v2, same as on CRLT. US and Canadian models are still on bootloader v1.

I'm on the same boat. I tried manually checking for updates for the past week and nothing.
I manually went into Settings - Software update - Download and install --> then the Feb updates available
Thanks for the info!:good:
I'm on pie n hate it
Sadly it is only a security update while the s9+ got A LOT in the Feb update (wifi range fixes/stability, dark mode schedule without dev options, other mentioned fixes and ofc the update is a lot bigger).
Update is available in Australia (101.21 Mb)
I also received an update today my phone is flashed with H3G Ireland

USA July Update?

Any carriers release the July update yet?
I'm curious how this goes for me. I switched to Google Fi for a few days this past month, and the last time I did that, my phone got stuck without getting updates anymore. Curious if this got me stuck again...
No July update for the US Note 9 yet. We might see something after the Note 10 announcement.

Yes, Verizon just pushed the July 1 security patch to my Note 9 an hour ago. It's a feature update that includes the V2 Bootloader, QR Scanner and Night Mode for the camera. The build is N960USQU2CSGA. I attached some screens in a thread created a few minutes ago in the news section.

That depends on what you mean by "July update". For the N960U1 (US unlocked), several carriers released the CSF9 firmware update in July, which includes the July Android security patch. For the N960U (US carrier-branded), some carriers have released the CSGA firmware in August, which also includes the July Android security patch.
Any news on ATT releasing anything?

What version were you on before? I wonder if I can flash N960U1UES2CSF9 to N960USQU2CSGA if someone has the OTA update.zip file. I am on unlocked Note9 and do not want flash carrier firmware but believe the OTA should be able to flash since they both on version 2 of the bootloader, I believe.

I was on update 9 from Verizon which was N960USQS1CSF3. For some reason they still haven't updated the change log on their site but they are pushing out the new build 2CSGA, which I'm running now. Unfortunately, I don't have the zip file, nor do I remember how to grab it. If I wasn't always busy with work and kids I'd look into it again at some point. I'd imagine that since they both would be V2 of the bootloader that you could flash it but I could be very wrong about that.

Is the September security patch live for the S10 yet (SM-G973U1)?

I am assuming that Samsung does the monthly security updates...
It's monthly but it is usually not released till mid month each month. I have S9+ and updates I'm receiving are released closer to the end month.

Ah, okay. Sorry about the noob question. I just got the thing.
No but right now I'm getting my second update with the August 1 patch. This second one is larger than the first.
Yes, this is really strange as I already had the August Security Patch and got an update today and I thought it was the Sept patch but it seems to be a 2nd August Patch?View attachment 4817286

Anyone know of a way to turn off forced updates and just allow them when I want to install them?
On Sprint fw I had Sept1, after flashing U1 latest is Aug1 as of now.
I got the notification. I just wanted to be sure it works...

That is really weird, unless there were no such vulnerabilities.

Question Samsung s21 ultra unlocked Firmware Stuck on BUK7

Hello everyone and happy new year, my Samsung s21 ultra unlocked phone on Verizon wireless is still running the BUK7 firmware ,not sure why it won't update, anyone else having the same issue, help would be greatly appreciated
Update hasn't rolled out fully to everyone yet after they halted it. Stop making new threads, just be patient...
I'm on US unlocked with a Mint Moble sim and I got the update after BUK7 which was the BUKF. It was a small <300 MB update, but still with November patch.
If you don't have the update yet, you can download it from sammobile or samfw
But we should bet getting one soon with the December security update. Seems like the SM-G998U1 model with all other CSCs are getting them since yesterday. The unlocked model has the XAA CSC and for that the last update was December 8th to BUKF
