If you have Snapdragon it was prob a security update. Heard that Samsung was pushing update that patched root.

I have the ATT variant which I purchased from Samsung. Idk if it's snapdragon or exynos. But here's a screenshot of the build.

ATT is a snapdragon variant.

Yep im on At&t..Snapdragon. I disabled updates with Titanium Backup so I can still root, like I said there has been talk of an update that will prevent root..not sure if that is what you got.

The Verizon version did not receive this update .. still on QI5

I have the AT&T version and it looks like it got a new bootloader along with the October security updates.

Unlocked Snapdragon here still on August security update

I have an unlocked carrier Note 8 running the AT&T firmware. I just c hecked an no update from AT&T or Samsung.

Sprint update hasn't arrived yet either.

Wait, so QI5 can root/be able to be downgraded to a lower FW that can be rooted? I just wanted to make sure to not patch, or if it already is, might as well just update, lol.

Not yet. Usually I get their updates after 8am EST.

And once again Verizon customers don't get an update!! They really suck!.

RS98811c update, can't find any info about it

I have the RS988 G5, unlocked, purchased from B&H. I was wondering if there is a link to information on what is in the RS98811c update? I had no luck finding anything about this update.

Have you heard that there is a RS98811c update? RS98811b brought the Android security patch level up to June 1 2016, but I've read somewhere that there is an August version of the security patch as well. Perhaps if there is a version 11c update it will include that latest security patch.
RS98811c update is installed

I just checked for it and it was waiting for me to download.
Here's some information about it:
For those who care about such things, the RS98811c update DOES increment the rollback counter. Security patch is taken to 2016-07-01.
My phone didn't find the update. Is it for ATT only?(I have Tmobile)

The RS988 is the unlocked US variant, and I am using it on AT&T's network, so I can't say for sure. I found it by checking for updates under the "About Phone", then "Update Center", then "Software Update" menus, and there it was. I tried using LG Bridge, but software update wouldn't work for me.
I just had this update pushed to my phone yesterday afternoon and just installed the update, I'll report back my findings later this week.
Trying my best to ignore it for now and wait for more people to confirm if you can rollback after this update. Don't want to ruin any chance I have at getting root in the future.

23.211.7.en.US system update

I just received the OTA update for 23.211.7.en.US on my Moto E 2nd Gen 2015. Any ideas what is in this update?

I've got this ok T-Mobile. Afraid it i update it, I will lose GSM support. Please let us know if this breaks GSM or not. Thanks
my mom just updated without asking, and she didn't lose GSM support for her sim, it worked just fine after the boot.
Just got the prompt too. Moto e xt1528 Verizon prepaid model. I am running on post paid. Not going to update until I know what this is, but my guess is a security patch for dirty cow.
https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/motorola-moto-e-update/
"This software update has been tested to optimize device performance, resolve known issues and apply the latest security patches.
Software Version: 23.211.7.surnia_verizon.verizon.en.US vzw"
Just applied the update and my TMo GSM service is still working after it restarted -- still Android 5.1 but security patch level is 2016-10-01 (before it was April I think)
Ok everyone, it's safe to install it then, it's just updated security for the stock firmware
Thanks for the confirmation. I will update my dad's phone then.
I wonder if the sprint variant will receive this update? (Xt1526).

I updated my dads phone. On reboot it didn't connect to tmobile. APN was erased. I entered tmobile APN and still nothing. Then I rebooted and it connected. Whew. Looks good so far. Actually when I typed in all of APN info it wouldn't take. So I typed in name and APN saved then rest of APN and saved again.
Stock 5.1 rom for XT1527 with AT&T (U.S.A.) firmware, essentially stock as is - OTA downloaded, sim card is for T-Mobile USA. Took about 20 minutes to flash, update once pressed OK to update & then rebooted itself, make sure battery is 50% to 75% charged - as always, backup your important data/storage content first.
Robooted on its own and everything is working, no issues with T-Mobile functions, etc. - it is security patches & update, bring it current & more up-to-date (10/1/2016), still 5.1 of course. Successfully updated, build will be shown as LPIS23.29-18.9-6
update without problems, working with GSM Movistar México Sim...... nothing was changed like the apn... the battery life is the improvement that i found.....
anybody has the firmware for this update? or the OTA file?

New firmware update for Unlocked model?

Got a update today when I manually scan for update on my S9+, it is G965U1UEU1ARBG. Is it safe to update, I believe it is still on V1 Bootloader, and just face unlock and camera stability.

I've had it since March 14th, no issues.
Interesting, I had that one when I received the phone. This update is dated March 27, so it's fairly new.

If that's the same build number, it isn't a new update. Are you sure you installed it the first time?
ARBG is old one.. I don't even got it, I had ARB3 and now ARC5, waiting for new one ARCC..

Call stability and wallpaper quality upgrades apparently... hardly one of the major things that actually needs fixing in this phone

No.
arc6 is for
· The stability of Face unlock has been improved.
· The stability of Camera has been improved.
arcc is for
· Call stability has been improved.
· The quality of Wallpaper has been improved.
I got the ARCC yesterday. Exynos unlocked s9+ with EUR csc.
I got ARCC today, OTA, and I'm using a Three branded set (H3G) - it was originally Vodafone, but I flashed to Three because I wanted to use a Three SIM , with WiFi calling and support for more of Three's LTE bands.
Looking at SamFirmware, ARCC rolled out to a huge number of carriers simultaneously, so I'm wondering if we are seeing some of the benefits of Project Treble here.
Regards,
Dave

Hey buds !
Here I'm stuck at October security patch.
I bought my S9 with july security patch then I manually checked for update , And I actually had a pop-up with october security patch which I'm running now and which also was the last one I recieved.
I tried with Smart switch but there is no option to update software.
Can I just download pie firmware then jump stright to it ? I mean when I find the official Firmware.
thank you
P.s I have A S9 Duos.

Question January Full OTA Image Available

Hi all,
Google has posted the full OTA images for the January P6 / P6 Pro update.
Doesn't look we have location specific versions this time (like November). No Verizon built yet either.

Cześć wszystkim,

Wygląda na to, że tym razem mamy wersje specyficzne dla lokalizacji (np. listopad). Nie zbudowano jeszcze Verizon.

Looks like the unified the builds as there is only 1 build out, so I would imagine so. But....ya never know if they will release another build later on like they did for the December Aussie people.

Try it and let us know.
OTA nothing. Sideloaded now. I have no fear here after the December mess. Was already on the Dec one. All looks good and works just like before. No differences.
US/ATT
OTA update downloading now
Unlocked P6 with Verizon sim just took OTA. 40.61mb
Up and running on T-mobile.
Unlocked UK didn't get December ota
SQ1D.211205.016.A1
UK Pixel 6 user here on 3UK network.
Just sideloaded the OTA from the OP's link in post #1 the only version available at time of writing this.
December OTA - January OTA
Installed with no issues, rebooted fine & back up and running in no time.
The only real issue I experienced was if I lost mobile data signal, the phone wouldn't reconnect once I was back in range, meaning I had to manually toggle Aeroplane mode.
Hopefully the update fixes that problem.
I'm on December Image with disabled verification. I can update to January without disabling it? Do it wipe my store when I don't disable it? Thanks
Just got it pushed to me OTA on T-Mobile USA. I was already on the sideloaded Dec update. Only 40mb for me. Wife's phone still on the Nov update just got a 200mb version OTA. I guess T-Mobile has alot more confidence in this update than the December version.
