The Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update is finally rolling out for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo.
According to GSM Arena, the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update is currently rolling out to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo users in South Korea. This update will also be accompanied with the Android for Work and a few security patches.
It will also fix the Stage Fright malware vulnerability. As many devices are now experiencing the Stage Fright 2.0 vulnerability, this leaves this problem hanging for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo users.
The Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update will also bring the solution for the ultra power saving mode for the Galaxy Note 3 Neo through the on device encryption method. In addition, it will also fix the problem of device over heating and battery consumption, according to BGR.
It will also get the support for 4G LTE data connection services and Bluetooth 4.2. The Wi-Fi will also get an enhancement through this upgrade.
The Android Lollipop 5.1.1 update will be released as an over the air update which means that different users will receive it at different times. The automatic notification will be seen on the top left corner of the smart phone as and when the device is in line to receive this update.
The users who want to check for the update manually, can go to Settings > About device > Software update and check for the update themselves. The update is sized at 610 MB, and is best downloaded through a stable Wi-Fi connection.
With Android Marshmallow already out there, it does seem a bit strange that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo device is still receiving the previous firm ware upgrade instead of the latest one.

As seen on Sammobile :
"The leaked OTA requires the device to be on firmware version N950USQS2BQK2, which is the latest official build and only available for unlocked Note 8 units on Verizon at this point. However, to get around that limitation, any unlocked Note 8 owner can get the N950USQS2BQK2 firmware on their device by following the upgrade path suggested by the Reddit user. Also, this is only for the Snapdragon-powered Galaxy Note 8 in the US, if that wasn’t clear already."
"Naturally, we don’t support flashing unofficial software unless it comes directly from Samsung as part of a beta test program, so you’re on your own and would require some knowledge of flashing firmware (both via a PC and through the phone’s recovery mode) if you decide to try this out. What we can suggest is looking at a few step-by-step guides that seem to be making the rounds online with directions for installing the leaked Oreo build.
We would also suggest making a proper backup of your Note 8 via Samsung Smart Switch (or any of your favorite backup apps) before trying the test Oreo firmware, as you may have to wipe all your phone’s data (including images and other files on the internal storage). And, if you do install it, let us know how it works! To see what features Oreo is bringing to the Galaxy S8, check out our exhaustive What’s New With Android 8.0 Oreo series, which should apply to the Note 8 as well."
GREAT NEWS!!!

Android Oreo OTA (this is real)
"Hey, Here is a link to the Android Oreo OTA
https://samsung.firmware.science/download?url=48993/1488/SS-N950USQS2BQK2-to-U2CQL1-UP https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xTtsn6gcg4JEX2dYKPiXTWVhPiGPzIBn/view?usp=drivesdk
Before you can do this build you will need to be on 2BQK2, so to get to that you need this build: https://samsung.firmware.science/download?url=48993/1488/SS-N950USQU2BQJA-to-S2BQK2-UP
ODIN for BQK2: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=19gW_CxUf2HdL4UYyxTkyOnBY8cluRIVS&export=download
this file for BQJA is on SamMobile, SamFirm, and Updato. These are OTA updates besides the flashing required in that.
I currently have an S8 on the Oreo beta and will be buying a Note8 this weekend because of this. I AM SO EXCITED!
Oh just a side note, this may be unstable and crash, you have been warned."

Hopefully Exynos Oreo will get leaked too ?.
If anyone tried it already, how is it? Any new features?
I tried this. I get errors on the oreo update. I just odined the AP, CSC, and CP so i take it i need to odin BL rest to get this to work. I'm a little hesitant because of having an unlocked phone so if a unlock BL exploit comes I don't want the inability to odin back to unlocked BL. Not sure if it's possible or if it increments

OEM Rom.
Upgraded from Android Nougat 7.1 to Oreo 8.0.0 with March Security Updates
Running stock Samsung Experience 9.0
Build number
R16NW.N950USQU3CRC2
Looking to unlock bootloader, and gain unfettered, non-tethered root.
Anyone bump me in the right direction on how to do this please? I need it for a couple of apps I'd like to use that I have paid for in past, that require root access to device for full functionality.
Thanks I'm advance team [emoji3]
Samsung Note 8, Verizon
I have update my device with the latest official update in my region, though several features like Digital wellbeing, are still missing. Is this how it supposed to be , anyone knows why ?
I was wondering the same. This feature was one of that I read will come with pie, but Samsung didn't include it with the update. Some people report back if you install it from apkmirror it will work.
Hello guys i have an galaxy s9+ Duos and i haven't received updates of security patch level since 1 march 2019 can someone tell me why is happening and what can i do?
Thank you all .
My Samsung Galaxy On7 didn't receive a security patch after 1 April 2018. Samsung has perhaps decided to stop rolling updates and security patches for its old devices, which unfortunately includes your and my phones. There is basically nothing we can do about it. Samsung does this so as to force users into buying new phones.
