Please post your source for this. Didn´t find anything about Samsung stopping Security-Updates in a quick search.
I think it would be cool to have Android 8 by November, but i still think it will come in February...

Please provide source etc
Afaik there's a beta program in November which I'm holding out rooting for but the main update is a few months away at least

Also all over Google bud.
Iv come from HTC land so not sure of Sammy update test routines but looks interesting!
HTC beta programs were a bit too exclusive but looks like the s8 test is open to whoever wants to provide feedback and test?

2- the next security update ( September ) is out ( XXU1AQI1 ) latter ( i ) in note 8 android 7.1.1
3- a large time between Update security and next update in This month

How to sign up for beta test?

we are getting 7.1.1 then a Oreo beta then oreo. Oreo closer to December from my best guess.

They don't stop regular updates to do betas.

I was wondering why my s8 did not receive September update yet.
Usually I get the security update 15th of the month.
And this September security update is very important because all our devices are vaurnable to Bluetooth attacks. I hope Samsung releases it soon.

My S8 still has July security patch(running T-Mobile firmware). T-Mobile previously released all security patches monthly, but skipped August, so I do think it is possible for 7.1.1 to come soon with at least September patch.

My T-Mobile branded S8 got the August security patches, but I'm located in germany. Maybe some policy restrictions in different countries.

What security patch is everyone in the UK on?

Fellow members in the UK what security patch is your HTC U 11 running on and build number? Have you had any updates since getting the phone? I am concerned HTC UK are shafting us in the UK yet again like they did with the HTC 10
Build number 1.03.401.6
Security patch 1 April 2017
No updates received yet.

I know it Italy they are on the may security patch, I am disappointed that HTC are not coming freely with updates to their flagship, even Samsung phones get more updates now days
Heh, I am on June security patch
@ramheer if you don't have it yet, you should get build 1.13.401.1 soon, it's being pushed to UK devices now and has the june security update.
uk htc has updated my phone to 1.13.91.3

Oreo final release might be close.

Spotted this on the Samsung fota cloud test server. It's version CQLJ which means it's not a beta version.
new fw is BRA+0-9/A-F (when build in 2018)

Major OS 7.0 for S8 - A, 7.1 - B (skip for S8), 8.0 - C
R - 2018 year
A - January

Knowing samsung if its released to some european country today it'll hit america in around a month, and canada in 2 months, then a month later the s9 is released... thanks samsung.
I wish Samsung would fix their update scheme. There is Android Fragmentation, then there is Android Samsung Fragmentation. Why is the Galaxy Tab A 2016 getting the January security update and my unlocked S8 is on November...
Also the latest Oreo Beta is on December, I know security updates are only small but as has been seen on the January update with the Pixels they can cause issues, so I would be sceptical to an Oreo release even being up to date.
Samsung needs to stop carriers turning their phones into bloated messes. My phone, before I debranded, came with 17 applications installed by the carrier, none of which I have any use for or have used!
It really isn't that hard to get this right, and it's what we are all asking for! Simplification and transparency, not waiting and waiting and waiting! Some customers with Note 8's in the UK are still on August Security Patch. That's what £800 gets you, negligence.

Do you know if the version.xml (not version.test.XML) update in real-time? Thats mean, would I be able to see a new firmware when Samsung pushes a new update to my device?
I see they have jumped back to CRAB version from CRAL in the test server. Wonder if that is in prep for the release to beta testers.

Does anybody have received the update?
Oreo update is for Australia, also there is no Oreo for the regular G4 and the link indicates G4 and G4 Plus
I think we have to be careful here, I went to the support page for Moto g4 plus in the Australian website and there is nothing about this release, also the link that OP left leads to the official Motorola website and clearly states that it is the february security patch, this posts may be click bait, as we have seen before...
I'm not pretty sure it's clickbait, proandroid is a trusted webpage well known in Spain and Latin America, by the way we do not have info about oreo beside this pages.

Here's the link to the original, Australian source, conviniently they don't have a verifiable source, they claim to have received an email from motorola's public relations area
https: //ausdroid.net/2018/02/05/ motorola-rolling-oreo-large- number-phones-today /
(I can't post links yet, just fill out the spaces, copy and paste into a browser)
That patch looks like the 7.0 February 2018 security patch. There's no information on that update notes that suggests it's Oreo (they'd surely mention it's Oreo 8.0) and we've not even seen a soak test for our devices yet. A soak test appears usually when Motorola is testing an update, as they've been doing for the Z play, z for example.
As far as I can see, even the G5/G5 plus is waiting for the soak test, so whoever the source is, we might be at the end or towards of this roll out. Technically, the rollout has started, for Z play and Z devices (soak) and X4 (deployed). I don't see any soak test reports from our sister G5/G5S forums.
Well I don't see anyone who can actually confirm getting this update, so what is the proof that it's actually Oreo? The OP link simply described it as the February Security Patch.

Maybe it is clickbait, but one of the author ("Ausdroid") is very huge and would not make fake news.

Oreo runs very well on 2G/16G device, especially the 32bit versions. Lenovo will never release a 64bit based Oreo rom for G4 plus.
Forget about oreo,, as the op has written it clearly says about feb security update and the link that he has given also tells about security update.

I'm running a A-530F, H3G CSC variant on the 3 UK network and haven't received the November 2018 patch yet. I got the October 2018 security patch on the 18th October and from previous patch cycles I expect the November patch to arrive early to mid December. As a side note the October patch seemed to have improved performance compared to the September 2018 patch.

Though I think part of the slowdown in my case is the update being built for a carrier variant, this November 2018 update has come out late this month (from Sammobile, it looks like the A8 security patch was released last week https://www.sammobile.com/2018/11/23/galaxy-a5-2017-a8-2018-november-security-update/ ) Would I like it to be quicker? Of course, though the A8 is one of the few remaining non-S or non-Note Samsung devices to get monthly security patches. https://security.samsungmobile.com/workScope.smsb

Yeah, I've not seen any info regarding the W or N models. Looking at the release patch cycle for previous security patches, the A530W XAC looks to be overdue for its November update, given most updates were deployed around the middle of that associated and respective month https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a8/SM-A530W/XAC/

I have SM-A530F. Can I copi OEM file in /device, save it on SD Card and after install new wersion replace OEM file with OEM Unlock?
I can't replace file without root. Before install new wersion of Android I maked Backup Android with TWRP, but I can't restore Android without TWRP, and I can't install TWRP without Oem Unlock. Everything spins in the circle.
I got the October update on the 26/10, 2 days later i received the November update.
November update is now out for A530W
But not out for some carriers like freedom mobile
On the November update SM-A530F, I was waiting 191 hours for OEM Unlock and nothing. The battery was running fast, so I returned to the October update and I'm waiting for OEM Unlock. On the October update, battery is O.K.

I Agree too..... honor really messed up with software updates and their EMUI AND MAGIC OS is useless and excessive bloatware and No Bootloader unlocking either and low values after sales.
For some reasons, mine skipped 129 and went straight to 137 today.

Just be patient. Got people saying that it should be around mid March for them to roll out to all regions and I got mine a day early. Mine didn't get the Feb patch too. Not sure if the Feb patch is included in the patch i received yesterday.
My previous phone was a Huawei and there was a problem with the updater, a lot of people did not received updates for almost 6 months, so they released an updater update to fix it. I hope it's not the case this time ?

Which is the right OTA file?
Hello I tried to update my Honor 20 View via the app. Unfortunately, then in the eRecovery it failed.
Do you know which file is the right one because several of the check was positive?
Is there way to force update.
