Snapdragon OTA Updates (G955U/G950U/N950U) - Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion

https://samsung.firmware.science/
Here is a website that was made by /u/thesbros, i don't know if he has an XDA. On this website you can select your phone version and then an OTA build and check which updates are available on the ATT server for you to download and update from recovery. This won't wipe your data, but there are some bootloader 2 builds on here. This also contains Oreo beta OTAs. Not for Note8 but for S8's.
How to update:
1. Download your file.
2. Put that zip onto your SD card.
3. Boot into recovery and select Update via SD
4. Select your update.zip file
5. Your phone is updating.
How to update with a computer:
1. Download your file.
2. Boot into recovery on your phone.
3. Select Update via ADB.
4. On your computer type adb sideload <update.zip file location>
5. Your phone is updating.

For the oreo betas, search under 950u QJC. The latest updates area all ota files from that software

What's Oreo, what's anything?
What is g950usqu2zkm?

Official OTA Update Links and OTA updating modified systems

Don't forget to thank me and Radii it means a lot to us!

Upon discovering the reason people being given an error trying to flash OTAs in my TWRP recovery image I decided I would come up with a work around while I work out a way to fix it.
The following solution is group work between me and Radii.
If you came here just for OTA links then click HERE
Click below spoiler if you haven't installed TWRP on your device and you want to OTA update and then install TWRP.
First you need to download the version you would like, in theory you could backdate although this hasn't been tested and it may misbehave. For example the latest version as of 16/10/2015, build number cm-12.1-YOG4PAS38J.
On the spread sheet you will need two files, the fastboot and the signed. In the fastboot ZIP there is a file called recovery.img. Copy this to your android SDK platform tools folder. Now with the signed ZIP you either copy that to the same folder (platform-tools). Put your phone into fastboot mode and type.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2b4c boot recovery.img
Or the name of the recovery if you renamed it.
Your phone will boot into Cyanogen OS Recovery. From there click Apply Update (Top option) and click ADB Sideload. Then type,
Code:
adb sideload cm-12.1-YOG4PAS38J-ham-signed.zip
Or whatever you renamed it to.
Reboot and you're done! Now you'll need to install TWRP to flash things like SuperSU and Xposed.
To install TWRP you need to download the latest TWRP image from HERE move that to platform-tools and type (with your phone in fastboot mode/bootloader mode of course)
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash recovery "recovery.img"
Changing the name in the quotations to the name of the recovery and removing the quotes.
Click below spoiler if you have installed TWRP on your device and you want to OTA update and restore/preserve TWRP
Do the same as above, I have discovered it's impossible to preserve because Cyanogen will auto-write it's own recovery to the recovery parition.
Nerdy stuff
If you're wondering why you can't OTA without going through all this then it's because Cyanogen OS will do checks to see if the System has been r/w mounted. If so then it will stop all OTAs from installing. Simple when you think about it.
FAQ
Q: Why isn't TWRP still installed after installing the OTA? A: Because Cyanogen OS will write over the recovery partition with Cyanogen Recovery
Q: Will I lose all my data? A: Don't wipe and no, you can dirty flash to preserve data.
Thanks for your work, really appreciated.
However, it sucks a bit that we have tons of work just for the OTA updates if we want root, i guess we should annoy Cyanogen to add a Superuser option to CyanogenOS...

It's designed to be shipped with devices like Samsung or LG's ROMs they'll never add that option.

Why not? root is a normal option in CyanogenMod, why wouldn´t the "commercial" edition not support it? I see no reason they can´t add it to PrivacyGuard.
Here one of the forum admins said hes telling the team to add it -> http://community.cyngn.com/t/reques...-thethering-and-inbuilt-superuser-access/97/2
Breadcrust,
did you try this method used for oneplus one phones with CyanogenOS?
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/flashable-zip-cm12-enable-integrated-superuser.297089/
https://github.com/julian-klode/bacon-superuser/
From what i´ve read OTA updates are working with it and all we need to do is update the recovery after installing a new ota, the script on github creates the patched boot files automatically, we just have to change the config to use the ZUK files.
All theory tho...as i don´t have my phone yet.

@othe01
No COS device allows you to flash incremental OTA if your /system partition is modified. Your quoted package puts compatible su binary in /system & flashes boot-debuggable kernel so that root can be achieved from both app & ADB. It has nothing to do with OTA. Your only choice is to get the signed zip & flash it manually.
@Breadcrust
It would be nice to put incremental OTA zip links too. My posts regarding OTA links also contain them.

sounded different here: [FLASHABLE ZIP] [CM12] Enable integrated superuser
But is prolly just a misunderstanding from my side.
How exactly does CyanogenOS check if System is modified and can´t we patch the check with an xposed module?
@othe01
He must used the signed zip to update. Regarding OTA faliure, I've discussed the issue here: http://forums.yuplaygod.com/index.php?threads/15124/
You need to registered in the forum to read, so I've uploaded a PDF of the same: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9zZIJPXbMsubkFBYmZ4eGtMQjQ/view?usp=sharing
I personally own OnePlus One & YU Yureka so already have a good experience with these things.
The whole procedure is clearly explained - no 'Xposed' module can bypass it. You can, in theory, deploy a file based OTA (I've already requested it through YU developers) instead of block based OTA or patch the update-binary to return always true (unmodified) value while checking the state of partitions.
:good:
@Titokhan I will post them later

@Breadcrust
for clarification:
-isn't "cm-12.1-YOG4PAS38J-ham-signed-fastboot.zip" is the same as "cm-12.1-YOG4PAS38J-ham-signed.zip", but with the recovery image include, can sideload this file using the same process you mentioned?
-if the phone is rooted, boot with the COS recovery and sideload the "cm-12.1-YOG4PAS38J-ham-signed.zip" will not work as the system partition is already been modified by the root process, am I right?

re: above
if using cos recovery and sideload via abd or from file the full signed version , and your have root, it will work, root will be lost though.
fastboot zip has recovery signed doesn't. you need to flash recovery extracted from the fastboot zip and then flash the signed full zip using cos either using abd or sideload file onto system
I flash the rom, but when I insert CDMA SIM into slot one, there is no signal
and there is no option to choose band from the menu.
would you please instruct on how to get CMDA works?
@taitai
As you can see here, it is not an CDMA device.
As regards technical faults as well we're unable to help in most cases as ROMs are from Cyanogen and unedited.

You can not update it via stock recovery bcs leeco never release this rom it is installed on europe (Czech branded phones) i cannot post screen bcs im change phone i have Essential ph-1 for now
Can i flash it as a secondary rom (multirom)?
Does anyone have the stock modem for x527? because my signal keeps coming on and off constantly in every eui rom so I can't go back to stock, strangely I can use it on Nougat and Oreo. I've flashed this stock rom but no solution.
Hi @veisen !
Thanks for the ROM.
However - how can it be an official ROM if it shows a 'Le X527' but with a 'Snapdragon 820' (when it should be a Snapdragon 652)?
Cheers, raimerik

Try pushing it through adb
Rename the file to update.zip
Open terminal
cd "directory of the zip folder"
adb push update.zip /sdcard/
Wait for few minutes, it should be done.

1st, if you have any magisk modules or mods installed, disable them and reboot.
2nd. You can download the update via system updates, it will say root is detected and will download the full OTA. Download and install (note it wil install automatically).
3. Install finished, it will ask to reboot. DO NOT reboot.
4 Open magisk and press the first 'Install' option and select " install on inactive slot, After OTA"
Done.
At that point your phone is rooted. There are several ways to download the updates, like in xda forums, Oneplus website, Oxygen updater app and System updates (the one on step 2 ) etc... if you want to keep a copy of the update zip file. You can grab it from the .ota. Folder in the internal storage using a file manager while the update is installing and copy it to another location.

Official OTA package for 2019 October [00WW_0_980]

Just got an update today and found out that they pushed a full OTA package meaning that you may upgrade to this version from any old ones with the stock recovery.
To apply this update, reboot your nokia 1 plus to recovery mode and do one of the following
apply update from adb sideload with a computer
put the zip file in a SD card and apply update from SD card
Download link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/8m46kvwhobbhtpq/ANT-00WW_0_980-full-ota.zip/file

You can repeat clean install by updating again via local upgrade. Then do it again.
After updating my sim cards aren't detected. Also twrp is gone and I can't clear cache. Any advice?
