I received another AT&T update this morning. Anyone else? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

My Note 2 has been updated to 4.1.2 last month. And this morning it got another update from AT&T. After the update I checked the version number, it's still 4.1.2. Don't know what's going on. Anyone else has this experience? I played around and didn't notice any difference in appearance or performance.

I jsut got the same thing...Note sure what it does of If i should accept it.

I got one too but I'm running SkyNote so I'm not sure if I should accept either..

Latest OTA update from ATT is MA4. Updated kernel which includes a security patch for the exploit issue. In the past, you had to be completely stock to successfully take the update (stock rom/recovery).

[Q] software update sm-T520

I just got an update to my sm-T520. Any idea on the changes?
New build NUMBER T520UEUANI1
I've also noticed an update is available. Gonna wait to see what this does. My T520 is just a few days old and i have not rooted yet so very weary about taking the update.

It said that it updated some bloatware, and, "performance and compatability fixes" It took like 5 minutes for me to update, so I got my hopes up for Android Lolipop. It's still 4.4.2, but i did notice speed improvements.
I wont to up date my Samsung model smt520 can you help please

N5110 Stock stagefright patch info?

My wife's fully stock (4.4.2) N5110 started getting update notifications from Samsung Software Update.
Per the info, it's a 7.61 MB 'device stability and bug fixes' patch that includes security enhancements and StageFright fix.
Is there information on everything installed with this patch?
Will installing this block any future attempts at root / installing a custom ROM? (If she ever lets me; this is solely her device and doesn't care about root/ROMs )
Since this is a wifi only note8 - how vulnerable is it to stagefright if I don't patch? Everything I've read says 'stagefright is more than an MMS vulnerability' but then the details only go into the MMS vuln :|
Thanks in advance and sorry if this has been covered elsewhere - I searched and didn't find anything.
I noticed the update today and decided to install it. It did not take very long to install and the Android version number is still 4.2.2, so it doesn't seem that there is anything major. I have yet to notice any changes, but I haven't used my tablet much today I should note that I am also using the wireless version of the Note 8.0 and I have never rooted this devices.
If I learn anything else I'll post here.
It's too bad that they didn't decide to bump things up to 4.4.4 (could use those Bluetooth fixes that were introduced in 4.4.3) while they were at it.
Anyway, I just noticed that there's a new stock rom posted for the USA variant on Sammobile.com and samsung-updates.com. So this is officially "a thing." Haven't flashed it myself yet and I probably won't; I've moved on to Cyanogenmod 12.1. But it's nice to know that Samsung is still pushing out updates for this thing.

T989uvoh1 - update

T989UVOH1 - Beginning October 5,2015 the Samsung Galaxy S II will have a software update to Android version* 4.1.2/ Software T989UVOH1 via OTA or Samsung Kies.* This update provides the Stagefright fix.
My phone wanted to update last night. did anyone take the update ? did it lose root ? what happened when it updated.
Right now i'm backing up my stuff and pushing all my contacts to google and everything before hand.
If you do not know what stagefright is then read :
http://www.xda-developers.com/stagefright-explained-the-exploit-that-changed-android/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/fix-stagefright-patched-t3173500
- I like the rom i'm on and really dont want to go updating if it breaks my root and everything on my phone.
I found out that i would mostly need to update so im updating now to a new rom SLIMLP
Well I did a little flashing this weekend to see what this update really did. I will say it did nothing. The stagefright v1 and v2 are still active.
The rom is fully bloated to hell. I jumped off the rom after that. Do not update to this build from t-mobile it does nothing.
I wonder if someone can upload the new radio that comes with it.

Today's update.

Just got a small update. Anyone know what's in it? 6.0 prep maybe?

A big update needs a small prep update???? Never heard LOL
Too many video games, I guess. Was half asleep and forgot that that's just not how this works lol
Lousy timing on AT&T. I have been trolling waiting for this update and got really excited. Would have been OK with even an update to unlock the FM radio but alas, we just have a generic update.

No i didn't "root/hack the software" lol . i haven't even received the phone from retailer. this phone is factory unlocked. IMO or experiences this will not affect it but wanted a third opinion.

Unlocked doesn't mean that it was hacked or rooted. It means that you can use any carrier's sim card in it.

I'm no expert, but the way I think it works is that if your phone's not AT&T branded you won't get the update as they are AT&T version specific. If you want to check for and get any kind of updates you'll probably have to go through Samsung's Kies program.
Sorry, misread on the unlocked part.
I just got lots of updates from the play store, one of which is the new Samsung Browser that is included in 6.0 Marshmallow
ok thanks Kyuta Syuko for the information

The Samsung Browser update wasn't tied to this update, Samsung updated the browser to work with Lollipop.
Download This Small Update
Any one know where i can download this update and update manually? I have a att note 4 on tmobile. I use to be a att customer. But i was told by tmobile that my device software updates have to come from att because i have a att branded version of the note 4.

Android's April security update tackles another Stagefright flaw
You'll want to update in short order.
Google's monthly Android security updates are nothing new, but its latest release may be particularly important. The new April update tackles eight critical vulnerabilites that include one in the libstagefright library -- you know, the same media framework that recently faced a rash of real and potential exploits. It also patches a nasty kernel flaw that would give attackers full control over your device. You'll get first crack at the fixes if you either have a Nexus device or can install an Android Open Source Project build, but other vendors that offer Google's monthly updates will likely follow suit before long.
Now tell me that i do not need this update!

Relax no one's gonna target you and "hack into your phone" if your worried about stagefirght then you shouldn't rely on att or Samsung for that matter to patch it, consider using a texting app that offers protection instead like textra. Anyway good luck finding that 60mb insignificant update file that no one will bother to upload
Stagefright was patched way before this and even though we just got the update, we still don't have the latest patch

Note5 N920AUCS3CPJ1 Update Help

My wife has an unlocked N920A note 5 that she uses with Ting. While investigating some unrelated battery issues she was suffering from (a game she played was consuming battery in the background) I noticed her last security patch was listed as Oct 2016. The software update button says she's at the most current, but she doesn't have an AT&T sim in the phone so I don't know if that's actually checking. I tried updating via Samsung's smart connect but that claims her phone is up to date as well. Oct 2016 seems rather old for security patches though; sadly I'm largely in the dark when it comes to flashes/modding phones. I've seen the threads here describing update steps, but the baseband version is listed N920AUCS3CPJ1 which seems to be an even earlier baseband version than any update guide I've found starts with. Is there anyway she can update her phone further, officially or otherwise? Would an AT&T sim possibly help, or is Oct 2016 actually the last security update the N920As received?

I have the same problem, but the last update on mine is Aug 1, 2017! I just found this site from ATT and the latest update is July 2, 2018?!!
I reinstall smart switch twice but still says I have the latest update?.
Google ( Software update for the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (N920A) ) and click the first link from att and you will what's the latest update.
You would be the first person around here to have seen a device with an intact PJ1 Bootloader though. Old Post, but do you still have it? All the downloadable versions I ever heard of came with a corupted BL so it won't flash.
Is it possible to upgrade to nougat with a N920AUCS3CPJ1 device running marshmallow?
