haha it`s swedish
-updated stability and bug fixes
-new or/improved functions
-performance uppgrades
just installed it.. don`t know if this is just a placibo effect or what but if you think your S7 was fast before..think again

It doesn't say at all what bug fixes are there etc it just says "A software update can include but is not limited to...".

That's not the described "urgent" update some sites talked about though, you simply got your device shipped with an older version, mine got shipped on tuesday and had PB4 already.

Interesting, didn't it have to do with edge app support (at least that's what i read in most articles)?
Anyways here is my software info and i got no update since i have the device, maybe the urgent update isn't that much of a deal in reality, but just for some devices which not already got shipped with the latest already...
Edit: Ah, I've now read about the sensivity also, still the question stays the same though.

Hmm interesting. I've been pushing the update button every day since I got the phone and today it got updated.

i have the G935FXXU1APAW version and also no system update yet, there was an "egde panel" update though within the galaxy apps samsung store (under "my apps").

I'm running MMB29M T-Mobile SD820 version since I opened the phone 12 days ago. It seems like the international version is still on an older build. The only update I've receievd is one for the edge panels
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Labs

Look at build number.
Exynos just got PB4 if you didn't have it already.
Snapdragon based on earlier screens shows it being at PB6.
I just got PB4 myself on Exynos.

Doesnt fix exploit, root exploit works fine
I think this would belong to General section... but thing that got me suprised is the size. 27Mb

Its branded the same as mine and until Vodafone brand it and then OK it for release we will have to wait. Ill wait even after its released because I don't want to end up with a phone that is even more securely locked down than it is now. I don't trust Voda with their branding and what's to say that Htc when they eventually S-Off the phone it will only be for unbranded as networks don't like it. Vodafone have been known to have different H-Boots in there updates before.

How to update MHA-L29C185B172?

Hello!
I see update MHA-L29C185B172, but not on FF. I want this update.
Now my phone is MHA-L29C185B158. Battery endurance is not great.
Is battery better this update? How to update for free?
Thanks. Sorry for my English.

I don't know what is new. It says no changelog. It says funkyhuawei reddit page:
<<The unreleased MHA-L29C185B172 build has been added to FunkyHuawei. An accurate changelog has not yet been released, but the expected differences are better touchscreen response, and less power consumption for longer battery life, similar to the Chinese B173 build.
Even if you have another Mate 9 model, you can rebrand to MHA-L29C185 and install the firmware, with FunkyHuawei.>>
But trying one day battery time maybe is improved. Here is screenshots.

So far this is working nice firmware. Battery inside one day before was finish 30% but yesterday was with 75%.
What is everybody result?

Hi guys! How is the performance and battery life of this update B172? Thanks!
hi everyone.
two questions:
1: what is FF? is it another repository for firmwares? any links?
2: also, i don't understand the disapproval regarding fu***wei.. I tried installing TWRP on my Mate 9.. ended up almost bricking it.. (it was stuck in a bootloop and adb showed it as unauthorized.. I didn't know what todo)
I used the fu***wei method and although it was a little cumbersome.. (had to do it at home so I could modify the modem settings etc.)
it actually totally worked.. (took a while but it worked) The guy was super responsive too. (I guess I go thte time zones aligned just right to ask my questions but yeah, he'd respond within minutes of my e-mails..)
(btw, I came to this forum looking exactly for this model MHA-L29C185 I wish there were clearer instructions on how to do these things without paying etc but if there is a resource like this why knock it? i'm seriously curious)

Which network are you on? I am on Vodafone and updates get pushed out super quick compared to the likes of EE who take an eternity.
Also mine was Vodafone branded but debranded it by flashing XEU so maybe you can try that?
Mine is unbranded (bought from Samsung Online store) and I'm on O2 network.
Do I need to flash another firmware to get updates more quickly?
I thought on an unbranded phone the carrier was irrelevant when it comes to updates. Maybe I was wrong?
I'm on BTU as well and I have nothing either.
EE carrier but my phone is unbranded from Samsung too.

I had the same thing when I had a S6 unbranded it took forever to get updates on BTU sometimes it was way after the carrier updates.
Not sure if you can go BTU to XEU but no harm in trying as it does not require a wipe of the phone.
**EDIT**
Another way is use samsung smart switch to see if there is an update using that.

One UI Beta Galaxy S8 Snapdragon

Here is the screenshoot from my Galaxy S8.
Swichted from G950U1 to G950U with Modded Odin.
If you do like this then you need 3 update file.
1. CRK1 Update (Search on sammobile)
2. CRL Update (https://firmware.science/)
3. DRL6 update (https://firmware.science/)

You may have to update some Samsung apps for them to work. Also, night mode doesn't fully work (some Samsung apps not included in it). Also, much faster and smoother; however, slightly faster battery drain for me. All the new software is a plus though. The important bugs are similar to bugs on official betas for s9.

I would suggest you using modded odin. I also had an unlocked snapdragon S8 US variant SMG950U1 as well and when I flashed the Odin files for CRK1 my device became a Verizon S8 model SMG950U...CRK1 (no longer unlocked but has bloatware). Once the base model is CRK1, you have to download 2 update.zip files. CRK1 to CRL1 and CRL1 to DRL6.
Follow the instructions from the link provided from OP on the first post.
