I posted the update that you can update using odin
don't get the this one Baseband version: G892AUCU2BRC5. Even though I tried to factory reset but I am still getting issues with the navigation bar.
Still waiting for the newest update like from Tmobile. I will never buy any AT&T ****ty phone again. Hard, slow to get an update, require a relative ATT Sim card.

Yeah...you know, you can install T-Mobile firmware over the AT&T device. Also, that nav bar issue is singular, meaning just you. so what ever it is you're doing, doesn't happen to anyone else. Another thing, if you live somewhere where a USA carrier doesn't provide service, DO NOT buy that phone. Plain and simple, only buy what your service provider or country offers. If you don't you lose out on bands, sometimes LTE entirely, Slow LTE because of the advanced technology only being able to be used on the carrier for the device, and as with the case of AT&T, software updates. The only reason you people are able to even have OTA zips AT ALL is because AT&T has **** security with their OTA server. The only other method to get updates would be Odin firmware, which AT&T doesn't RELEASE, it has to be leaked by companies with a GSPN account, which BTW cost ALOT of money, so the firmware itself is a solid $20 for those who do buy it to share to people here on XDA. And just so everyone knows, this method of pulling OTAs for you people will be patched because Samsung has had enough of their test builds getting leaked by some peachy ***** like me that pull their OTAs from AT&T. However long it takes, who knows, but it's gonna happen. By the way, most of this isn't directed just at you so you understand that, this is to the public in general. Sorry guys but it's true.

I just got the new update from ATT, I have to borrow my friend ATT sim like usual. But the new version still has not fixed yet.
I also understand what did you say for the nav bar issues above, but mine is different, not the same results on Google search.
For example:
-Youtube or Google maps is auto minimize after 2 minutes or more on screen.
-Games are automatically back to "waiting screen" in any game.
-All require fingerprints applications automatically back to fingerprint require screen while I was using it.
So I know the issue is the "back" button, I did try to change its location, hide the nav bar, but the same issues. So I know that it does not come from the physical, it is the software.
I did buy an S6 Active 3 years ago so I know the update issues that I have to face with, but Tmobile released their S8 Active too late and I did not know that.

the new base version is G892AUCS2BRD4. That the BLv2, but ATT website always updates late, the customer services suck. The ATT new version always release after Tmobile version only 1 to 3 days, but the web needs almost 2 weeks for that. So I always check in Tmobile first

This firmware is nougat, so whatever problem you're having with the nav bar if it wasn't there in previous updates, this should fix it. Then you can OTA whenever and see if it's just Oreo you don't like, which is fine because you can stay on nougat. And also root I believe.
Oh wait, are you saying you want the BRD4 or whatever update?

I just got this phone a month.
I rooted it.
And I receive a OTA update in recent days.
I havent try it.
Should I do it? I just want to make sure what this update is.
The update is basically a bug fix, and its supposed to extend your battery life. I have noticed my battery lasts a lot longer with the update. It won't ruin anything, you will most likely have to re-root your phone though

thats great to hear that.

Yeah you'll have to re-root your phone but Z4 still works...I had to re-root mine as well after the OTA...I haven't noticed a difference in battery life tho

Hi leobg! How do you to get this update? You get into some Verizon website? I didnt find any? did you have a bad expirience with Rogers with this update?
Thank you
Go to settings/about phone and tap the top item - system updates. Phone will connect to Motorola update server and will download the update.
Before you do so, make sure you unfreeze all frozen (renames/etc) stock apps, or update will fail to install. You don't have to unroot if your phone is rooted. Update installs fine on rooted phone (tested myself). If phone complains there are no new updates, you can download the update and install it manually from stock recovery (I haven't tried this way since automatic update worked for me, but since the update is signed official update from Motorola it should be able to be installed this way)
Update check does not always work. Sometimes you will see "update check not available at this time" don't get discouraged, just try again later. In theory it should work on both wifi and cellular data, so try both ways.
For me the newer firmware isn't working well. Every few hours the phone loses connectivity without any warning or sign. Phone says I have signal and data connection, but neither i can make calls nor i can receive, same with text messages or internet access. The only way to get it out of this state is to reboot it. I couldn't figure out anything definitive why is this happening, but I get the feeling the dreaded US operator ban protection kicks in. This is not confirmed. Next time i am close to the border i will experiment a bit more with this.
Old firmware seems to work fine. Ever since i am back to initial firmware i have not experienced this bug) i got uptime (without reboot I mean) as long as 10 days (240 hours) without losing connection (including trip to the Caribbean, roaming there both 2g and 3g on all available operators, of course airplane mode while in the air.
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk
I currently have the same issue of loosing connection every now and then but with the old firmware. I am currently in Uruguay and it happens very often, specially when I leave it alone for a few hours. I then grab the phone and it lost the signal. And same, to get the signal I have to either make it check for available networks, or toggle the airplane mode on and off again until it gets the connection. Hummm, maybe it is the radio... In WM it was always advised to flash the radio and get the one that was better for your country and carrier. Is there a way in Android to just flash the radio and not the entire rom?
There is certainly way to flash the radio, radio firmware (also called baseband software) is part of the SBF. The bad thing is there is no other radio firmware than the one from Verizon, neither will be as this phone is Verizon only. Maybe Motorola will update the baseband in future again (it was updated in 2.4.330 if I am not mistaken) to make it better handle foreign networks. Only time will tell.
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL
Humm, i wonder if I can install the radio from the Milestone 2 from Argentina alltough it comes with only 2 frequencies: 850 and 1900, so I would be loosing the 2100 one...
I doubt. Baseband chipset is different on the two phones.
No, you can't install the radio from a Milestone to a D2G because they have different chipsets. You will almost certainly brick the phone if you try.
The radio NVM from a global device is almost twice the size of either a CDMA only or GSM only radio NVM because it contains all the settings and parameters for both radios.
Yes, most likely it is not possible. I wonder why is this thing about loosing signal happening outside the US. Maybe it is because the real bands we use abroad are not exactly the nominal ones like 850 or 1900 and in reality it could be like 1901 or the like and then the Verizon radio has that exact number that does not match the one used by a different carrier on a different country...

Is there a way to stop the update from downloading?
I did a check in the phone settings out of curiousity. and it asked to download the OTA, but I cancelled it.
Now it keeps reminding me now and again. A while ago, it downloaded itself LOL was around 20% then I quickly switch off the phone.
You can disable the following apk's in/ system/app to revent OTA:
BlurUpdater_VZW.apk
Fota.apk
Once this is done reboot the phone and enter stock recovery and clear cache.

Is it really at&t I have to blame for no marshmallow on my tablet?
I have grown so irritated with the lag behind updates with every single phone I have owned in the past 8 years or so.
But this tablet was bought unlocked! Why does at&t have a say in when I get the update? They have 0 bloatware to inject onto this thing.
And why now? Every other update was prompt along with the WiFi version.
I know y'all probably have no idea what the hold up is I just needed to vent. Peace!

Yeah... I'm just as frustrated as you mate.
No MM on the LTE version because AT&T hey.. FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see there is a ROW (rest of world) LTE rom out. Is there a way we can just flash that (without being routed?)
This may sound like a silly question, but did you buy it from At&T directly? did you buy it used? is it the first y01 battery? The US LTE rolled out nearly two weeks ago and I'm in Canada! Currently using the US LTE b01 version received from Nvidia.
I manually flashed the ROW LTE version at first with no problems at all, then a week or so after I got the US LTE marshmallow update. Flashed it like normal and all is well.

I bought the first one from amazon and then it was recalled and this is the replacement that I have now. It wasn't used as far as I know. And I don't buy anything but service from at&t anymore.
Still everytime I check for an update it says your tablet is up to date. Still running lollipop.

As an alternative to waiting, you could check the VulKan Preview thread where there is a link to the US LTE for that (which is actually a later build than the 4.0.1 A6.0 as it is A6.0.1).

Wait is that the Vulcan update that you are referring to or some other?
Nah no Vulkan update, since I had installed the ROW LTE version to get it asap, a few weeks later I got the US LTE update in the Nvidia Shield Update page, I updated it and now back on US LTE version. You can flash the ROW on top of the US version, no issues, may have some LTE bands missing but with my tests in Canada, I had a pretty decent speed of 8mbit/5mbit over LTE.

That's because the MM update is being held up by AT&T for the US LTE model.
To work around this, one can flash the RoW image instead. The tablet will from now on receive timely OTA updates and AFAIK, there are no repercussions as the US LTE modem firmware files are included with the RoW image. Basically you now have an AT&T crapware-free tablet!

How exactly do you flash this RoW LTE MM Image? The thread was a little confusing.
You can just download the files from nvidia's site and do it fastboot flash everything. They provide clear instructions with the file. There was a RoW LTE flashable zip but the creator removed it. I used it and for some reason or another I couldn't get it to work w/ external SD card. So while the LTE worked, not being able to write on the external SD was a no go for me. Just using RR for now until they finally release the US LTE version and hopefully with external SD write issue fixed. Already tried all kinds of xposed modules but none worked.
Anybody else get prompted today for an update? Anyone know what's in it?

Sent from my LG-H810 using XDA-Developers mobile app
If you already installed it, you can be a proud owner of the first Android device on AT&T network that supports Wi-Fi calling. It actually works pretty good so far and I can't tell for sure if they fixed a 5Ghz Wi-Fi issue because I got the update about an hour ago but as a piece of hope I got higher speedtest.net results than before, so maybe they actually made a highly desired change in a baseband besides adding a 2G toggle that actually makes a network search much faster than before.
Another noticeable change is that I got extra free 100MB of RAM which is never a bad thing.

Just got this. Now at version H81021y with 2016-06-01 security patch.
Is there anyway someone could extract this OTA and post it so us folks that can't get the update, can install it on our phones? I'm just curious as to whether the the wifi calling will work on T-Mobile too.
Edit: I was able to get the update by getting an active AT&T sim card. Unfortunately, wifi calling will not work with a T-Mobile sim.
Any one know if this update will prevent the dirtysanta root method from working?
Didn't see any posts about this here yet ... anyone finished downloading yet and can confirm if this is the color fix? It is taking forever to download for me.
Yeah, the color fix is in it. It does take forever to download and install - supposed to be like 400 to 500 MB.

My screen isn't pink but tomorrow is the last day of my 15day return period. Got AT&T over international for warranty and software updates. Considering ordering the international, just worried if it is defective I have no warranty in the US. Plus the locked bootloader keeps me from flashing new roms every week ?
What's up fellas.. My overall phone is ALOT snappier
...apps load faster.. Finger scanner is quicker... Iris is quicker... way better... Just my 2cents...
Will the international variant work on at&t's network? I always thought international variants never worked on USA networks whether it be Verizon, at&t, t-mobile, cricket, or what have you.

International variants will work with GSM carriers as long as they have that carriers respected network band set, usually an international unlocked variant will have most network bands enabled for USA GSM carriers. I wouldn't try using them on Verizon or Sprint, since both of those carriers are CDMA and use a different type of network access - and it can be a pain in the ass if the phone is not in their system.

I assume you adjusted the edge color settings already? I had to adjust mine in order to get rid of the pink edges.

Right after I posted that, I realized that there was a separate edge adjuster that I didn't even notice. I'm so happy right now. It works! I already swapped a phone out due to this.

Ok now I don't think I am crazy now that somebody else said the same as me. My phone feels much better with this latest update.
Hey guys, fellow G955U owner here! I've been trying to force this update using the date change trick, but I'm 2 weeks into the future now with no luck does anyone happen to have the OTA file handy or know of any other possible way I can force it?
For whatever reason my devices are really slow to get updates and I always resort to a sideload...
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Changed the date all the way to August; at that point it would auto revert to today. Put in my other AT&T SIM, moved it ahead to May 15, and now it's downloading. I guess if all else fails, try a different SIM!
Just for someone who can't update whatever he/she do, HERE is one more option
Hello, I would like to know if OnePlus phones get their updates via LTE or do they require WiFi?
I'm in a situation where I don't have access to WiFi and my current phone, S20fe, requires WiFi for updates,
Thanks in advance.

I think they will work without wifi, but you have to manually start the download yourself (it will not auto download, just tell you that an update is available). Not entirely sure about that though. If not you can always use the oxygen updater app (not official oneplus app!) to download the update over LTE and install it with the local upgrade option.

Thnx so much for taking the time to provide me with the info.
I hope the 9Pro is half decent because it sounds promising,
The 8T does not require WIFI to update...at least mine doesn't! I had the S20FE for awhile and it did not require WIFI either...I wonder why yours does? I also had the S10E and it DID need WIFI which was one of the reasons I dumped it! Personally I think it is NOT dependent on the phone, but rather on your wireless provider along with the particular phone.

Can I ask you what carrier you are currently using? I have Verizon Wireless but I don't know if the update has to come from them or directly from Samsung? Either way I'm looking forward to getting off the Samsung hype train because I really don't like One UI.

Thnx 4 the info. Based on this info the update must be carrier driven.

I think I'm being punished by VZW because I got a grand daddy SIM.Ii had used 140GB last month but I only paid 30$ a month, plus activation and BS fees.
CS told me "You don't have a data plan." So I replied, "So if I got one, I'd get the update? They said no, you need WiFi.
