Today I have received an update for my S8+ running unlocked firmware on my Verizon phone. If I update will I still remain on the unlocked firmware? I ask because at the bottom of the changelog it says SM-G955U1/VZW. or would I have to Odin it??
That's probably referring to the fact that your SIM has been provisioned for VZW. It will not change you to VZW firmware.

100% safe, I have the Verizon version with the unlocked firmware flashed and have had zero issues.

Did you update to the recent firmware update? Last thing I want is to update and be without a phone for 9 hours while I'm at work and have to Odin all over again.
I did a regular OTA update, with the U1 firmware installed. Everything went through as it should.

I am rooted and looking to go back to stock by flashing the stock firmware using Odin on my G920F. However since KNOX is already tampered with and there's no way of resetting it, will I be able to receive OTA updates once I revert back to full stock? If not, is there a way for it to work?

Hi, going back to full stock is the best way to get OTA updates so yes you should get any OTA update that is available to you,

Thank you for the reply, but one more thing, does flashing a specific firmware region may equal different updates? So if i flash the UK firmware, will I get the software updates for the UK phone? I know that sounds pretty dumb but I'm knew to Samsung coming from HTC.

Hi, I have never flashed a different region firmware before so I can't really comment on this sorry.
Tripping KNOX doesn't prevent OTA updates, as long as you flash back stock.
If your current ROM is rooted, this may prevent updates.

Never flash other model firmware, always stay to the W8 version.

Use smartswitch emergency recovery , samsung have put in place some issues with the Bootloader, moreso if you're on a newer bootloader then you cannot install a firmware which has a lower bootloader

When you downloaded your firmware for odin, was it the very newest update? Or an old one, I've noticed some older firmwares fail to flash due to being on a newer bootloader

Hey, so I have the bootloader problem too and I think we have to wait for the nougat update for the type of phone you have. I have a galaxy s6 tmobile so I think I have to get nougat and flash that when it comes out for tmobile. You have to do the same I think but for now Im gonna send it to samsung and act dumb. Hopefully maybe they fix it and send it back. Do you think they will accept my phone though? It was rooted and had nemesis rom. for nougat port from s7 edge. Also current binary is: Samsung Official. System Status is: Custom. They can see knox is tripped since the counter is void: 1.

Hey, it depends if you have warranty on the phone or not. If you have warranty, it will not cover your expenses because it's void after unlocking bootloader and rooting. If you don't have warranty and you are paying them anyways, they should have no trouble accepting it. Who would deny taking money. I hope they can fix it for you and I'm sorry we couldn't figure out how to. What you said about Nougat is true. I have checked that information as well. There is no Nougat for TMobile yet. We just have to wait. Again, in the mean time if I fix it, I will post my solution here.

Seems to be rolling out fast -- My fresh-out-of-the-box-yesterday 6x got a B365 notification last night. Over wifi, btw (still haven't thrown a SIM card into it yet). I suppose I'll let it update at some point soon -- what could go wrong ?
to place the sim card implies a problem with the updates?

Nope, didn't mean that at all. Was just saying that that to show that it has nothing to do with carriers (which I guess we know) - it's coming pure OTA via the internet.

But still a sim card may be needed to register the IMEI on network to get the OTA. It may get without sim but i have not received any till date on any of the honor phones and ota shows after couple of minutes of sim registration
Just saw an update notification this morning, its installing now. I got mine right before thanksgiving (and installed an update then too).
I'm actually very pleased with this phone and the firmware. They let you uninstall all the 3rd party crapware and most everything else (google crapware) can be mostly disabled.
I just wish I had the lineageos email program, I don't like the honor one as much.

If you have the U1 variant with unlocked bootloader, you can download latest firmware for your device e.g. with Frija and flash it with Odin.
If you have the U variant with locked bootloader, then you have to wait for Verizon to provide the OTA updates.
i upgraded my galaxy s10e (exynos) to one ui 3.1 and it's showing a lot of lag, and the camera takes time to open and take a picture. (Can anyone help me with this) ? is its performance normal with the one ui 3.1?
reboot in recovery mode (phone needs to be connected with computer by USB), wipe cache followed by repair apps.

To receive OTA updates (from Verizon), you have to stay on original Verizon firmware.
If you are sure that there is already an update available from Verizon, and you do not get it over the air, then contact Verizon support.
Flashing a firmware of another device model into your phone may brick it and you will lose any warranty and support.

1. The U1 model does NOT have an unlocked bootloader.
2. You can manually upgrade either model via the exact same process: download firmware via Frija or wherever and flash in Odin. Waiting for OTA is *never* required

Well, you may try with ODIN, but not sure if that will work due to a mismatch in the device version. You got nothing to lose, ODIN will fail if there is a problem, it won't brick your device. In worse case a factory reset, so backup all your data/apps.
