I believe they are skipping 4.2 and going straight to 4.3 on most devices (the ones that didn't launch with 4.2), then from there they're going to 5.0.
I would like to see 4.3, but honestly don't expect to see 5.0 ever on this device . . . at least not from Samsung.
They've stated it would get 5.0 in the future. Hell if google keeps taking their sweet ass time with 5.0 Samsung may just skip 4.3 and go straight to 5.0...lol.
Any word on when we may be receiving the OTA for the new firmware?

That is surprising and good news. I know Samsung does support their devices better than some other OEM's but given it came with ICS then got JB 4.1.2 I just figured it was not likely to get more than 4.2.2 or 4.3. Where did you read they were planning on 5.0?

There are other sources I think earlier in this forum too, this was just the first one I found.

VPN for update?

Hey guys, so a friend of mine has a One Plus 3 but he didn't recived the update yet. So he utilized a vpn to connect to servers from Canada and UK and he got the update.
Has some one claimed that he got the update from sweden, if there are any possibility to connect to another area to look for that update. Specially in sweden

Sadly that won't work unless you have a device from that region or you're running the previous firmware from that region. The OP3 isn't region specific, so he can get the update from any region. The Honor 8 though has various models for each region of the world. (L04/L14 US, L09 EU, etc)

Ohh I see, thanks for responding. That is sad tho :/
You shouldn't need to connect to the device OEM's server via a VPN in order to get updates for your device. As OTA OS updates are sent to each device dependent on their model number and the regional OS settings.
if you know the update version just download it online and manually install it?

I read the thread but I'm out of luck cuz I don't have wifi no router near me. To complicated to do that.

I don't know why everybody is in such a hurry to upgrade their OS from Marshmallow to Nougat. When Nougat is only available for a handful of devices at the moment. The majority of the other Nougat release are still in the Beta cycle and have numerous bugs that have yet to be addressed yet.

Just wait till you notice that allot of features that were in Marshmallow are missing in the Nougat Beta. While the performance maybe slightly better than Marshmallow. Nougat still isn't ready for retail use on the Honor 8 yet.

All essential features are here. Getting 5 to 6 sot.
I haven't faced a single issue. Plus I'm not a guy for complaining about features. I buyer the Honor 8 because of speed. And that's what I'm getting.

It's because the Nougat on this phone means EMUI 5 and it's 10x better than EMUI 4.1 .. trust me
it's a much better phone on Nougat EMUI5 ( Even Beta) BTW I think the current B360 for the L04 is the final Beta.
It will go live in the next 4 or 5 weeks. (Huawei is really slow)

B360 is definitely a fully functional build. I have yet to find anything broken and it even includes Vulkan api. As said above, EMUI 5.0 is miles ahead of EMUI 4.1. It's a much better and cleaner looking UI.

AH! I forgot that the new version of EMUI is better than the current version. It's the same with most android device OEMs.

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)

Yes, for sure, I forgot about 7.1
Major OS 7.0 for S8 - A, 7.1 - B (skip for S8), 8.0 - C
R - 2018 year
A - January
0-9/A-F - build number
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.

It's only a reference site so nothing to download from it.
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/BTU/SM-G950F/version.test.xml
I just downloaded it from here (Snapdragon only!) : https://samsung.firmware.science/download?url=48927/1488/SS-G950USQS2BQL1-to-U2CRA1-UP
Boot into recovery and install update.zip.
I haven't flashed it yet as I don't want to lose root.

I tried to install BQL1 on my G9500, which is a Snapdragon model. But it shows secure check fail.

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.

Beck up to CRAN now. Lol
And now to CRAP. It must be the final

Just spotted that. I hope CRAP isn't a bad sign. Lol.
Whole set of Bixby got updated. Is that a sign to prepare the phone for an Oreo upgrade?

It is true.. it's wifi certification test on android pie.. it's going to be the first Samsung phone receiving 3 major OS updates
Certificates were revoked. Likely somebody playing a prank or some other screwups. No Pie for S7/S7E- least of all for us in the US (we get screwed either way).

Question I want to know the progress of g996u1 Android 12 update.

My Galaxy model number is SM-G996U1
Not in the US, use in Asia.
When will I receive the ONE UI 4.0 update?
G996U1 Galaxy already applied ONE UI 4.0 update?
Or do I still have to wait?
I apologize for my poor English.
Please kindly understand. I'm waiting for a reply. Good luck.
The update sucks. Don't update

Same here. Gonnal try to revert back to 11 on my S21Ultra.
The update will probably reach you by the end of the year. I've been on Android 12 for a week now and I didn't experience any issues.
