Need Help in Samsung S9+ security Patch Update - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Hello I have Samsung S9+ SM-G965F Android 9.0 One UI
Serial No. RF8K20VD8WR
Baseband version: G965FXXU2CRLF
Last Security Patch Level show December 1, 2018.
Is it normal? Upon checking updates it shows device upto date.
Once I had changed the firmware may be last year to get One UI after that I am not able to receive any security update. How I can get the update of One UI 2.0?
Many thanks in advance.

One UI 2.0 isn't OTA yet, see separate thread for trying the beta (although my personal advice is wait a month for the finished version)
On release you'll need to probably download it and install manually, making sure the version you install matches your phones original CSC to re-enable OTA updates.

January Security Update?

Some reviewers had posted that the January security update was pushed prior to release, but I've had my 5X running since Tuesday and its still on the December patch.
I made sure to manually check for updates just in case and the phone didn't see anything. I'm connected to both data and wi-fi so I'm not sure what is up.
Has anyone received it other than pre-release folks?

Honor has a BetaClub program that lets users test a new software build before it gets released to everyone. The update with the January Android security patches should be out soon.

See my thread here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/guide-kiw-l24-to-stock-t3318268
Bit of a newbie here, came across this forum when looking at new phones and was quite excited by the idea of being able to play with all that was available in the phone.
So I went and bought a 5x have got my unlock code but have not unlocked it just yet, I am UK based and so have the L21 and just wanted to check that the general consensus is to leave the thing untouched (except for a new launcher and a few apps installed) until I have received or somehow updated to the B140 update.
I couldn't work out in the other thread about returning to stock if the B140 for the Kiwi 21 had actually been released yet, couldn't find any downloads on the Huawei site for the UK.

I'm not sure how I could be more clear that the B140 update is for the L24 only
I just uploaded the latest OTA B140 for the KIW-L24 here >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759882720
KIW-L21 Users See post 8 for the files you need (But note the OTA is only for the L24)

That's what I thought thanks for confirming. I will wait till my phone updates before I try debloating scripts etc...

I received this as well. I went ahead and accepted it. I know they are working on root, but I am probably going to replace the V10 with something else soon anyway. Update went smooth and no issues after. as rsswga stated it looks like it is just a security patch.

I went ahead and updated as well to the new software. Two updates in two months. At least they're paying attention to this phone. For the most part.
I am from India and has LG V10 H961N dual sim verizon model. I don't get any OTA and I used kdz file from link below to update to recent patch.
I flashed using uppercut and it works fine. the build number MRA58K is same for me.
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h961n-firmwares/
So:
Given that the likelihood of root not being achieved, I'm wondering the following:
If this update is more specifically related to security, is it conceivable that it could be taken on my rooted phone, or is it tied to a specific version of Verizon/Android OS?

Current T-mobile firmware?

What version firmware are you all running on the S9+ T-Mobile version? I'm still on the Feb security patch and phone shows no updates available. Just making sure I'm not missing anything here.

No it's not updating my phone either, it just shows no update for me too. And I haven't disabled anything. So I don't know what's up with that
Same here
Wondering if they pulled the update
Running the same ARBG build here, too.

Hopefully the removal of the update has something to do with the v2 bootloader. When you update to ARC6, you can't go backwards from that point, or at least currently. The v1 bootloader in ARBG is a lot more flashing friendly.

Unfortunately, this doesn't matter in my case as I have the Snapdragon variant. Jailbreaking Apple devices is easier than dealing with Samsung's BS these days; however, I couldn't give up the ability to expand storage with an SD card.
I've been hearing a lot of people complaining about dropped calls on the ARC6 update. I never experienced it myself while on ARC6 but I'm on ARDA now.

Mine is a SnapDragon model also. Although based on older information and models. I am hoping we get a V3 bootloader for those who are stuck on v3 that can be upgrade and then downgraded. The Note 8 bootloader is possible to flash backwards for some reason. Because we are on the 845 though, it will probably take a little time for someone to figure out who to get it to successfully flash backward. The call dropping issue on some firmware versions also is a problem that doesn't exist on other firmware variants. I had the call dropping on 1ARC6 but not on 1ARBG. That might have slipped into the firmware with the v2 bootloader. Whatever the reason, the Samsung community has a lot of development and cross-flashing activity that will hopefully get this figured out soon.
I came from a V30, which is much more of a mess to even attempt to flash anything other than what the current firmware is could potentially leave you hard bricked. Outside of Nexus and Pixel devices, I find Samsung in its current state more cross-flashing and mod friendly than some other manufactures. I have never used an Apple device to know how easy or difficult they are to jailbreak or what that means in comparison to what we do with modded, bootloader unlocked, and cross-flashing devices on the Android side. The locked down Apple ecosystem will always keep me away from their platform.

Android Pie confirmed for Moto Z2 Play

Hopefully the phones we have will survive long enough to have another update next year. https://blog.motorola.com/2018/08/15/baked-android-pie-coming-motorola/
Yey. Let's wait till end q1 of 2019 when Google starts to test Android Q for Motorola to get P ready for it's last year's phone's. Or do I have to remind you that Oreo was released end April/early May to the original Z play?

You might have misunderstood something.

Yes, starting with the 2018 models, or maybe only with the Z3 since it's the most expensive ones. Or do you really believe that our one year old phone will get updates that quick? They are not Pixels and knowing the update strategy of Lenovo for the past couple of years and without treble we can be lucky if we even get it this year. or have you forgotten the Oreo update? And it wasn't even to 8.1, just 8.0
I am still on 7.1.1 Nougut. According to support, I am on the latest update. But on 08/31 they claimed they are behind, but it is coming soon.
Shouldn't the all be the same regardless of software channel, build number, SKU, Version, etc.? They are all Moto Z2 Play. Mine is even unlocked so I would think that would be a benefit.
Here are the specs from the "about phone":
- Moto Z2 Play - UNLOCKED version (carrier independent)
- Software Channel = "retla"
- Build Number = NPSS26.118-19-1-16
- SKU = XT1710-06
- Version = PVT1
- Baseband version = M8953P_23.33.07.34.01RALBUS_LATAMDSDS_CUST
- Security patch = February 1, 2018
- Android 7.1.1. (Nougut)

I had the update like in mid July, but it didn't take. It got all messed up and went back to 7.1.1
So I installed Oreo on the side and put Custom Rom on top of it.
Android 9 confirmed... but im still on 7.1.1... i cant understand why my phone never got Oreo

Same here. I have no idea why my phone won't update. I have it unlocked and rooted with Magisk, but won't it still detect the update and try to download it? I just need to unroot first and flash it and it should be just fine I thought. But nope, still on 7.1.1 with the February 2018 security patch. I'm on software channel retus. Right now I'm not really too concerned with getting a new version of Android on this phone since everything is stable but I'd like to know why my phone never got the 8.0/8.1 update.

It depends on carrier. Although, if you ask them, carrier will say it depends on Moto; but truth is, it isn't. As far as I know, AT&T Latin America released (or it was Moto?) 8.0 Oreo in August, which has been already updated up to September, 2018. Next should be 9, but... Yes, 8.0 was released same time as 9 for Pixels, a full year after Z2 device landed. So, statistically, 9's OTA should be inside AT&T's Z2 devices, late in 2019. That would be another year, probably along with 10's appearance! but... Maybe not. Who knows what's in their heads. Point seems to be keeping OTA fans (don't count me in) eager as hell.

Is pie update coming or not? Or are there a custom pie ROM available? Would you recommend flashing ROM? I mean will it reduce battery or performance? Thanks in advance.

Mi A1 received Android 9 pie update and now it supports dual 4G + volte. Really shocked to see Snapdragon 625 supporting dual 4G and that too enabled with an update. And Moto doesn't even update their os to 64 bit.

For this device to be updated to 64bit, it would require formatting, users would lose all their stored data. How well do you think that would go over with the general public?

That is a fair point. Although it's fairly easy to backup data on a phone with SD card, not everyone will like it. I had Asus zenfone 3 which came with 64bit OS despite 3GB of RAM and camera 2 API was enabled so the Gcam and hdr+ worked without root. Thought Z2 play with 4GB RAM, better camera sensor and stock Android will be even better. I was wrong.

Okay so I know the problem with this update.
This update is for users who are currently still on android 9 as this update is android 9 march security patch update. That's why us android 10 users can't install it.
For both EU and global versions the march update for android 9 was released today.
They probably should have done it so as we wouldn't see the update but they pushed the update for all devices not like android 10 where only some people got it.
So you guys can just ignore this update until android 10 is fully released
Yes I'm also facing the same problem

This phone is just an astonishing demonstration of xiaomi incompetence...
