Verizon Note 9 March security patch rolling out OTA - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion

Just got a notification for update 6 on my VZW Note 9. This should be build 1CSC1 with the March security patch included. I haven't had a chance to update my phone yet.
Also, I sideloaded builds CSAA and the current CSB3 that I'm on now, via stock recovery and SD card and I'm receiving official OTA's from my carrier. I know some were worried they may not receive official OTA's if they sideloaded those builds. I'm just re-confirming what others such as Mr. Orange have said that you will be back on the official OTA train being on the sideloaded CSB3.

Thank you. I am waiting for an update since I sideloaded Pie last month.

Yeah, no problem. Just wanted to get it up asap to let those who still worried about not getting official OTA's anymore because of sideloading, that they will still get official OTA's as long as they're on CSB3. Here's a screenshot of the about screen with the new build running, I didn't update till recently.

The big question is whether or not Substratum/Swift Installer is still working with this update.

Please help if anyone knows an answer to my issue. I have a Verizon note9 I updated from oreo to pie manually through recovery now I am no longer getting ota updates,even if I search for them. I was told that side loading pie would not effect later OTA's . Is there a way to fix it or I somewhere I can download the updates and install through recovery would be ok too. But can't find them anywhere.

Which version of pie are you still on? CSAA? If still on CSAA, you'll have to install the CSB3 pie build. The CSAA to CSB3 zip to put on your SD card and flashed through stock recovery can be found here within the Note 9 threads. Once you're on CSB3, you'll get OTA update notifications for the next couple OTA updates.

I do not have Odin setup and have never used it . Plus do not have access to a computer at this time. Also would just like to flash it off sd card and start getting my ota updates again. I have the file but it keeps aborting not sure what the issue is .my sd card is encrypted do I have to decrypt it before flashing the update?

Alright got the file (cbs3) and flashed from recovery, and then my ota updates started coming in so I am all updated and life is good. Now I'd I could just figure out why a week ago I stop being able to download apps or update installed apps from xda (from here) not sure what happen or why but when I try it starts to go through the motions ana them I get download failed. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have tired all the usual fixes, clear cache and data uninstall and reinstall xda app,no help...

Need Help about MM Security Patches

Good Evening! I opened this thread to ask if someone could give me an hopinion about a problem I had on mu Nexus 6 after going back to MM from Android N preview. So today I unenrolled my device and I received a Marshmallow OTA, which was said to be the last one available. But as soon as I updated my Nexus, I saw they sent me the OTA with July's Security patch. I tried to wait and see if september's update would show up but nothing in 2 days. Is it normal and have I just to wait or is it a problem? Have you had same experiences?
P.S. I wiped data and everything soon after updating back to MM.
Does it matter if it's the July patch? These security issues are not those that normally happen to users who don't download warez apps. Use Google Play, and you're safe.
But if you want the most recent version, the download the latest OTA from the Google OTA page, and sideload it.

Yes, you're actually right about it, security patches are more or less the same for normal users. Let's say, my first worry is about Android Nougat update, because my stock updater does not seem to work properly these last days after I went back to MM. So I thought it might be a matter of time.

I am not getting the G950USQU2CRB9 OTA update on beta G950USQU2CRA5

Why am I not getting it? I checked for system updates and it says I am already up to date, but everyone is saying Oreo is out now.
I have crc5. So, somehow I have an even newer version. I would guess we need to go back to the last Verizon Android v7 to have the OTA work.
Good to know. Guess I need to find a firmware download for it and flash it manually with odin

Any way to force 8.1 OTA on Project Fi X4?

Greetings, I have a Project Fi Android One X4. Two days ago I went back to Project Fi Oreo stock after being rooted in order to receive the OTA. I received the January, February, and March security updates. But once I attempt to get the April one with 8.1, the system says I am up to date. I attempted to sideload the April OTA but got the message many get about not being able to mount. I know that these updates are not rolled out all at once, but I see many here in the forum already got it. Is there any way I can force the OTA? Thanks in advance for the help!
I'm pretty much in the same boat. I had to manually flash the full 8.0 firmware after being stuck on Dec security update. Received Jan, Feb and March updates OTA without a problem. Got notification that 8.1 April was available. Phone would download the OTA but fail halfway through the installation. Did this about a dozen times. Now phone says up to date but still on March 8.0.
Probably have to wait for the full firmware file to be released and manually flash again. Sucks. Never could get ADB sideload or update from SD card to work either.

Same issue for me. The ADB sideload/SD card problem doesn't make sense.
Same here. OTA update fails during step 3. Side loading doesn't work. I reflashed 8.0 and took all three security updates again just fine. Now I'm not even offered the OTA for 8.1.
I have a theory that it was pulled due to errors.

You think the 8.1 update was pulled due to errors? I was offered the update on my stock (locked and unrooted) Project Fi X4 a week ago, and my wife's got it on Friday (3 days ago). The update process was quick and went through without issues. The phones themselves seem to be operating normally.

Have you tried MTP or ADB (with lockscreen enabled), cause this would be the first confirmed case I've seen of it working properly on 8.1 update.
Thanks for all the responses! I see that I am not the only one with this issue. I think that like jfalls63 said, of we don't get the update in the coming days we will have to wait for the full firmware release. It is not convenient since I want to root and wanted to do it in 8.1, but there is not much we can do about it if we cannot find an alternative.

You're right; I haven't had any reason to do either since the update and it wasn't until after I posted that I saw another thread mentioning this issue. Sure enough, same is true for me.
Still, the update was pushed to one of our phones only a couple of days ago, so if they pulled it, it's only been within the last 72 hours or so.
I'm experiencing a similar thing (https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/help/oreo-8-1-update-stuck-loop-t3788293), so this seems to be a prevalent problem.
When I have time, I'll go through the Moto forums and see if anyone has any helpful information.
I'm on Fi and I received the 8.1 update just fine. I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet to root it, but otherwise I'm on the gravy train. Once they release a full sized firmware I plan to reflash to get my space back, and then root.
The only solution i've found to get the OTA to work (verified by others as well as my self)
Reboot after each fail and try again - if you watch the screen the % complete will increase each time before fail, eventually ending in a successful upgrade! (At which time your phone is now more secure than ever - USB file transfer won't work with a lock screen pin/pattern/fingerprint.

Let me guess your phone updated to 8.0 with latest security patches but never got the 8.1 update? I think they may have stopped pushing it ota for 8.1 because it has some issues (MTP, .... stopped working only charge works).
This link has the zip for sideload but no img for flash. I cant get it to side load myself so maybe you can?

Same issue here. Just opened a trouble ticket today. Curious to see if I get any feedback in the typical 24 -48 hours.

Switching from official Oneui to custom rom/ unofficial rom/ downgraded versions

My device model is G781B. Sw bit U5. I'm facing battery issue lately on latest April security update. So I wanted to downgrade but as my software version is U5, I couldn't do it. So can anyone guide me which custom rom and recovery I can flash and Is there any way to downgrade to previous version of oneui.
Are you using android 13 (OneUI 5)

Oh God.
I'm sorry to read that you updated from binary, going back will be a bit impossible. through odin no longer.
You will have to wait for someone to work on something for those who are in binary 5.
upgrading to binary 5 in my point of view was totally unnecessary.
Good luck colleague, hope that someone can give you a solution through root or wait for an update in May.

MMMMMMM..
Every time that OTA sends an update, the software version comes out and therefore the binary.
if you download a system to flash via odin, you force the binary.
I even warned right here about that topic.
but unfortunately, nothing can be done at the moment.

the bootloader would need to be signed again after being modified, there's very little chance of this ever being fixed.

It only remains to wait for Samsung to send an update that fixes that.
wait for a developer to send solutions via root.
I recommend you to use Kernel Bandido.
I don't know if it is compatible with binary 5.
