ATT says it is Security Enhancements. Have not seen it on my S4 as yet. http://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/wireless/KB419415
It's downloading on mine now. Hope it doesn't affect root.

It failed due to root I'm sure. Guess I'll have to disable until someone figures out how to apply it with root.

Seems fine on mine...opened google Store apk went in to my apps then backed out all the way to home screen with the back key.
Wife's phone got the update this morning, looks like it is just the November security update.

I did the update and now the menu and back button doesn't work. I tried factory reset with no result. What can I do?

Same here. Soft keys became unresponsive. Was your screen replaced by any chance. There seems to be a link to this.

I'm trying to root 1.85 on my mac because I just got a replacement phone but whenever it asks me to do a software update check, it tells me that there actually is a software update available. Is it still possible to root?

Did you try pushing your clock forward two days,
So this morning I was playing with menus I saw in other threads. After playing around, my device rebooted. I am no longer listed as custom in the device status menu, nor upon boot. The steps are below and hopefully someone can recreate what happened. I'm sure this would be useful for people who need warranty repair.
Dial *#9090#
Press menu, then key input.
Enter 1, press ok.
At this point my device rebooted, and bam custom status was gone. I'm not sure if it matters, but I was rooted with the new method for MF3 prior to me doing this in the service menu, and root was retained.

That's odd indeed, I just double checked I am still 100% rooted.
I guess a bit more info to try and figure things out is needed.
When I updated to MF3 I had CWR on my device and it was rooted. Obviously MF3 took all of that away. Since then I was stuck with the Samsung Custom logo and the custom status within settings. A few days ago I performed the new root method. This morning I did the dialer and reboot and I kept my root and the custom status went away completely including the logo.

Before MF3 I was rooted but couldn't stop the update. After the MF3 update I rooted with the new method. At that point I was rooted and the custom startup screen was gone but the device status was still custom. I tried your method and it broke root but I was back to secure and normal startup. I then re-rooted and tried your method. This time I retained root but I still have the custom startup and device status.

Thats really odd. I haven't had any issues. We need more people to try it. Perhaps you just need to do a factory reset and then try it. Who knows, it's worked for myself and one other person so far, just need more people to try it.
I was just going to try a factory reset. I'll let you know.
For you guys on mf3, please be careful experimenting with your phones. If you Bork it there is no easy way to recover it. No odin back to stock! No nandroids! You may be waiting for ever for an odin flashable rom.

I'm guessing you'd have a hard time. That's part of the reason they've locked it down so tight.
They are not going to fix it at the store. That is exactly the type of problems they are trying to avoid by locking the device down...

Don't be messing with your phone then.
Good news is after I did a factory reset I am now back to Secure and no custom boot screen even though I am still rooted.
The "custom" on booting takes an additional reboot to go away...if the conditions are right. In other words, it's a good bet the "custom" would have gone away even if you didn't mess with the service menu because it takes two reboots to make it go away.
There a lot of information about this throughout the forums already. Do yourselves a favor and search for "sysscope".

I rebooted it 3 times before I did anything else. I tried everything that has been mentioned in other places (except sysscope) and they didn't work. Factory reset did work though for some reason.

Hey everyone. I rooted my Honor 8 yesterday using the following guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/honor-8-root-twrp-and-xposed/. Everything seemed to work fine at first, but soon my Bluetooth refused to turn on at random and apps constantly crashed (either on startup or when switching between them). It got annoying very quickly and after searching for hours and not finding any real solution, I decided root wasn't that important to me and I'd just unroot my phone and then hard reset. After using SuperSU's unroot function, my phone turned off and rebooted. But when it got to the blue screen with the honor logo, it froze. Nothing does anything. No matter which buttons I press/hold down. It's just stuck on that screen. I'd love to take out the battery, but with these new phones, it's sadly built in (who ever thought that was a good idea?). It's been this way for close to an hour. ADB doesn't recognize it anymore. The only way my PC seems to recognize it at this point is through the Device Manager, where it shows the yellow warning sign. Under Properties > General it reads "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". I've tried a few different things but none of them have worked. So this is where I'm at now. I'd hate to lose this phone since I just got it three months ago. I would really appreciate any sort of help, because I'm grasping at straws.

Sorry, I might not have made this clear, but I can't even turn my phone off. It's literally stuck on the blue screen (how fitting). The model should be 51090QMF, but I don't know what you mean with the last part.

My bad, I just looked it up on Amazon (where I bought it) and it said model number. This should be the real one: FRD-L09. The reboot worked, but it's still stuck on the honor logo. At least we know it's not hard-bricked now.

Yes, the 32GB one. And as I said, I was able to get into the Huawei eRecovery. I'm guessing I should just hit "Download latest version and recovery" at this point, but I was waiting just to be sure.

Use This guide: Do #4 'keep data' then #9 to root. It only takes 5 minutes.

Just fastboot the factory image without the -w. It might just be personal preference but I think that's the easiest way to update if you are rooted.

Disabling that toggle in developer options is a prerequisite for doing the OTA update option and retaining magisk.

I agree with a lot of others here: It's easier to dirty flash, no hassles and it works every time without having to figure out any secret handshakes.
