Because I didn't get OAT update I downloaded the complete firmware
"XT1941-4_DEEN_RETEU_9.0_PPK29.68-16-8-1_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml" (date 2019-01-08) and flashed it using this script. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78287372&postcount=18
All went well. And root with Magisk wasn't a problem.
But why does security level show security update of November???

I don't know what that firmware is all about. Build date is from end of November if I remember it right. I never flashed it.
December patch is 29.68-16-21. Unfortunately it doesn't seem that the RETEU December update is available for download anywhere.

Because the file is dated "2019", I thought that is is the actual firmware. Some of the files inside the zip are from November, some from December...
Ok, so I have to wait if I'll get the update the next days. There is no way to "force" that, is it???
You should have got it already, but it needs full stock without root to install without error.
Go to settings / system / advanced and check for update.

Don't know if anybody had the same problem with OAT Updates: Meanwhile the full firmware with security level 1st January can be downloaded here

After a roll back updating ota is no longer possible. Is it possible to flash firmware manually?
You can contact Amazon support to place you back in the regular OTA pool.
Otherwise, you could try doing it manually. You'd want to download the BIN file and place it in the root of the internal storage directory. Then, just go into the menu where you usually check for updates, press the button, and it should say that it's ready to install.
Amazon say once downgraded you can't receive OTA again. Where would I find .BIN files for HDX 7

The OTA block is applied on their side; it's based on your device's serial number (FSN). So, they can obviously undo it if you request it.
As for that BIN file, you can find the latest one as of right now here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/update-1314-4-1-1-probably-sangria-t2901813
It worked with the bin file. However I'm no soon updated until a system update has started downloading. It's 3.2.7 again.

You can read here about the OTA verification steps.
There are 3 ways to pass the version check:
1) use a OTA with a higher version number
2) remotely set a flag that disables the version check (guess you can exploit this by using bug 17356824 - poc here)
3) trick the verification system as I did
The problem is actually with the bootloader checks. As the OTA flashes a complete bootloader chain, the SBL1 version number will change. If it goes down, you end up with a brick (as I did).
I suspect the 3.2.7 OTA that Amazon has pushed for downgrading is a special build that has both a higher version number in build.prop and also on the SBL1 stage. This would explain why the 3.2.7 OTA keeps showing up even after upgrading to 4.5.x.
LE
While rooted you could try changing the version number in build.prop to the 4.5.1 one. This should trick the update system into downloading the 3.2.7 OTA. As you have root you could access the OTA bin and upload it. This way people wouldn't have to contact Amazon and request a downgrade.
Actually there is also a flag that disables SSL certificate verification. You could set this flag and then MITM the download.
Google have released security patch but when will Honor owners get it?
I've had my phone 6 weeks and haven't received a single update. It's still on b100 & May security patch. The lack of any update is very worrying especially when a vulnerability such as Krack is identified.
Honor need to act NOW.
Honor released the B130 update in August, and it is releasing a new B150 update.
But not to all owners.
That's the issue with Honor updates.
I understand and accept the need to release updates to a small number of users initially to make sure there are no major problems. However, I've not received an update, so either Honor haven't fully released b100 or there is a problem with their update process.
It doesn't bode well when a vulnerability such as Krack is identified.
I'm on May security patch & its October!

Use the Firmware Finder app to get the update. Not the latest security patch but it's August, good enough I think.

Try Firmware Finder. It worked for me many times.
I have tried using FF with no success.
I have skelter the update files and placed the app file in the dload folder on so card and in each case updates failed.
I then tried using proxy & system update successfully downloaded the b150 538MB update. However, the update failed, this time with a warning that the phone might be corrupted. Fortunately it wasn't, but has left me concerned if I try updating using FF.
Am I doing something wrong?
I'm sure I've followed all the steps correctly.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA
With the B150 I had the same problem. It's probably caused by the update.

I don't think that issue was related to FF - I received 538MB b150 OTA, and same issue occurred - update failure (it updated to b130 from b100 though). Then 3gb full b150 update was downloaded and successfully installed.
has anyone lost root updating to current this month? i know my v10 became an ad filled, stock navbar, paper weight after it's last forced update.
I'm curious about this as well.
I finally got around to rooting my Stylo 3 Plus for the first time over the weekend, after closely following the developments in this forum for the past 6 months. It took a lot of trial and error and reflashing of TWRP before I got the timing down right, but I finally got it rooted (using Magisk 15.2).
And of course, luck would have it that within a few hours of my rooting success, a new system update notification (which I had never heard of until now!), pops up and asks me to restart to install it. I am using Titanium Backup to force stop the particular Google service involved, which makes the notification go away and I can reboot without it upgrading. But it always come back within 24 hours or so.
Has anyone installed this update yet (MP45010f) and successfully re-rooted? I'm currently using Magisk 15.2 with systemless hosts, Ad-Away, and Xposed with Greenify & MinMinGuard enabled. I would welcome any advice on how to proceed after the update to restore root and continue using Ad-Away, Xposed, etc. Or even how to disable the update notification for good so I can stay on MP45010e a while longer.

I Installed the 10f update.
On the download page the date was listed as March something.
While updating with LG Bridge, it was listed as Feb 22.
After it was installed (update 10f for LGMP450) the security patch date was listed as Feb 01.
I rooted and installed TWRP (and removed RCTD). Everything seems fine.
I am reverting back to my old install. Because i have made a million little tweaks, that would take forever to redo on a new install. I just wanted to see if everything still works (and it appears it does).
PS - The first time i updated this phone (back around Oct2017) the LG Bridge erased my SD storage. This time it left all of my installed apps in place. Also, this appears to simply be a google security update. No firmware changes from LG.
I thought a system update wouldn't happen if youv done rooted your phone the only way back on the day was to reflash stock ROM to get the update

yeah thats what i did was revert back to stock so u can update then i update it then re rooted my phone
if you update using the LG Bridge computer program, it will update a rooted phone. but you will need to reroot afterward.

Thanks for testing this out. If you don't mind me asking, which method do you use to root? And do you also use Xposed?
To anyone else who might know, does everything Magisk- or Xposed-related get removed by the security updates (frameworks, modules, configs, etc)? Just trying to get an idea how many of my modules I should expect to reinstall and configure from scratch if I decide to update from 10e to 10f.

Yeah, I thought this was kind of weird too. I've never used LG Bridge to update. The notification just appeared on my phone shortly after rooting.
Is Xposed only for Magisk or can it be used on the rom, if so can I get a link to how to do so
LG Bridge

Im using Magisk 16.1 (no Xposed) and TWRP 3.2.1
I have not run into any issues.
It appears to simply be a security patch update.
I doubt it should cause any new headaches.
The original method still works to reroot and reinstall TWRP.
Using the LG Bridge program is about as easy as an update can be. You install it on your computer, plug your phone into the computer, and click "update" on the computer program. Its all automatic.
I just purchased a used AT&T SM-G965U. My carrier is Google Fi. It's running Android 8.0 and Samsung Experience 9.0. Build number is G965USQU3BRK1. Last security patch was November 1, 2018. When I try to update OTA or with Smart Switch both claim my phone is up to date.
I started looking into how I might manually update the phone and found some instructional pages for updating via ODIN, but was not able to find the correct firmware to update to Pie using that method. I did however find a thread on the XDA forums with a download link for an SM-G965U Pie build. Someone posted in that thread that it is possible to update the phone with a micro SD in recovery mode. Even with that being the case the firmware.science page linked in the thread specifically says that the firmware will update my phone from version G965USQS3BRK2 to version G965USQU3CSAB. This seems like a problem since my phone is running G965USQU3BRK1 which I assume is an older build based on the BRK1 designation. Will this update method even work with my phone? Do I need to update to BRK2 before I use the firmware linked in the thread? If so is the BRK2 firmware available for download anywhere? Or failing that is there an ODIN firmware update available?
Update: I tried updating via micro SD in recovery mode using a firmware update downloaded from firmware.science that is supposed to update my SM-G965U from version G965USQU3BRK1
to version G965USQU3CSA5. The update was aborted due to "unexpected contents". I transcribed the error at the bottom of this post. Not sure what else I can do if I can't find an ODIN firmware. If I used the modifed ODIN to flash my phone with U1 firmware would that enable updates through normal (OTA/Smart Switch) channels?
E3005: "EMMC://dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modem:83300864:2d921fc2a30290a4f894ef4e5528ab83263913ec:84005376: 12c0577b202561c4a0732793bdbaf3a04eca67f0" has unexpected contents.
E:Error in /sideload/package.zip (Status 7)
Installation Aborted.#1
Update 2: I managed to find the ODIN firmware update files and successfully flashed my phone with a Pie build. Disregard this post.
I'm having the identical problem, only with Verizon SM-G965U. Android 8.0.0, last security update Nov 2018. Can someone guide me to the solution?
Thanks

What firmware are you currently on?
I've done a bit of research since I first posted this and think I know what's going on. This phone was supposedly new, unlocked. Then I found out SM-G965U is actually locked. It booted up with Verizon logo and worked on Verizon network, so I was ok with that. When I checked the firmware version, it was ....BRK1 (I don't have the phone in front of me), which I looked up to be Sprint firmware! This would explain why it doesn't get updates on Verizon's network, wouldn't it? How this came to be, I don't know, but I think I can proceed by getting a later Oreo or maybe Pie version for VZW and flashing it with Odin.
Comments, if any, are welcome.
If memory serves correctly if your firmware is a certain amount of revisions behind what is currently released then the OTA update and samsung switch will say your firmware is up to date. Even though it obviously is not up to date, it has something to do with how far behind in updates the phone is.
In which case you should be able to update your phone using the patched ODIN and the firmware files found on sammobile or via samfirm app. Thee files from sammobile or samfirm are not ones you can flash via SD card in the recovery menu, the OTA files and what are offered on sammobile or samfirm app (and from here unless otherwise specified) are two different things.
I would note that you might have to factory data reset your phone after flashing the new firmware. It's one possible result of flashing a newer firmware to a phone that has an older firmware like that installed.
I am rooted with Magisk and running the Raviole kernel. My Play System will not update past July no matter what I do. I delete all but one account on my phone and followed those instructions and still nothing. I have a 24MB update available and I've tried 20 times to download and install it but on reboot I just have the same level still. Anyone have a similar issue or know of a workaround? I even did a factory image install with the update to A13...twice.
I got on September 14(!) also the 24MB update, but then it showed I am now on August patch level.
Maybe it has something to do with your kernel?
Cheers
I checked on the kernel and that shouldn’t be the issue. I don’t know if Magisk would have any effect on it. I’m kind of out of ideas for the time being.
stock unrooted, and I just got the August Play system update yesterday. Prior to that I got 3 updates that were all dated July.
have you tried installing the apk from apkmirror ?

The apk is only a "visual" update and only displays August update, too small for the complete PlaySystem Update.
But some reported after installing, it triggered something and after a while the "real" system update was downloaded and installed.
