Update available BQE1 seems to only update security flaws
I can confirm non root hotspot method sticks through update

I got the May security update for the my stock BTU version of the 6.01 a few days ago over 4G but when I check the Android Security patch date it's 2nd April 16.
Has the May 16 update failed to install as I cannot get the notification of update again when checking the update software option.
Thanks
Hello there.
I purchased my G4 in June or so of last year, and can't seem to get it to work with OTA updates. Phone is currently on 5.1, Kernal 3.19.49, Build LMY47D, Software version H81010e, Security software version MDF v1.1 Release 4. I have never attempted to flash or modify the phone, so it's been bone stock since the day I bought it.
I was out of the country and away from OTA updates from October 2015-March 2016, and since returning I havn't been able to get OTA to register an update is available using either the "Check for Updates" in Android, or LG Bridge on Windows. I didn't really put too much thought into it because of all the issues MM has/had, but now that Wi-Fi calling is available I'd really like to be able to update.
What would my best options be for getting the phone current and up to date with AT&T? I'd really like to avoid dealing with their repair services unless there is a good reason to go that route.
Thanks!
Update
Just in case someone finds this down the road with a similar problem, here's what I did.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g4/general/att-h810-to-stock-guide-tot-method-t3248532
I followed that guide and manually updated from software version H81010e to software version H81010o. As soon as the software was updated, I checked for updates in settings as per usual and it immediately recognized and downloaded the OTA update from AT&T. Seems getting behind on software updates while out of country was preventing me from downloading new versions of Android.
Hey
Can anybody tell me what is the latest build for the unlock UK S8 Plus please?
Current build number is: G955FXXU1AQI7 with security patch of 1 August 2017.
My dad's S7 have security patch of October 2107.
Seems strange that last year's phone have a more recent security update than the latest phone.
I had a software update notification earlier this week, but did not take a screenshot. It was around 400mb and listed something about fix for wireless charging and update to lasted security patch. However, after updating still on the above build number.
Many thanks
My phone showed a software update available this morning, but I checked Samsung's website and it doesn't list a change log entry for it:
My S8+ is currently an unlocked G955U1 at version CRB9. Does this new update bring anything useful or is it just Samsung releasing a quick "update" to block a discovered bootloader exploit?
April Security Update

LUCKY YOU, note 8 must be a relic, yet to get Aprils update.
I just went back to Superman V3 to get Wifi calling working again on my Unlocked S7 since im changing carriers to tmobile.
On stock, this phone still gets a ton of updates since its international
The issue is that the Android Security Patch for this rom is From July 1, 2018
Is having a security patch from last july,is this even an Issue?
Is there some method of flashing Security Patches on Samsung Devices that of course are rooted/romd?
Any other suggestions?
