VZW Update? (Screenshots)

sebastianraven · Sep 15, 2017

Hey guys, it looks like Verizon is rolling out an update. I clicked to see what was inside but it took me to a broken link. Does anyone know anything about this?

Mine is installed and upgrading android and optimizing apps.... I will know soon!

I bit the bullet. This is what I got.

Yeah mine is the same. Can't tell any differences so far. The link for what the update contains was broken, so I have no details. I am sure they will be posted here soon enough though.

Mine just completed. Odd, they updated the kernel with a date of 9/8 but did not push the Sept security patch.

Cool blog... http://www.theandroidsoul.com/veriz...ts-first-ota-update-with-build-n950usqu1aqi5/

It would be cool if who ever wrote it at least give me credit for my screenshots.

Yup, they used mine as well with no credit either. Boo

Edit: I commented on that Blog

Thanks to you two for that then lol. Can't stand people that pick others stuff and post it taking credit. But anyway thanks for the help... I had no idea what the update was for and just clicked it in a half sleep this morning.

I was reading about that bluebourne vulnerability so glad they covered that. Anyone know who runs that blog?

The article author's email address is at the end of the article. I don't know that he runs the blog, but someone keeps deleting my comments. The vulnerability IS NOT FIXED by this update. Armis' vulnerability scanner indicates that my updated Note 8 is still vulnerable.

EDIT: A post to a VZW update thread on Reddit suggests that the Armis app may be providing a false positive. I've emailed Armis with a request for verification and will followup if/when they reply.

UPDATE: Version 1.04 of Armis' app now correctly reports that VZW Note 8s have been patched to eliminate the vulnerability.

Hey what theme is that?

kbhasi · Sep 18, 2017

Well, I was prompted to install this update on my "SM-N950F/DS" (international variant), and maybe the update you're getting includes some of these changes?

I noticed that I can't see the device maintenance option anymore. I was trying to look to see my free ram available

Any way to know if this could effect a potential root exploit or not? I'm always leery of taking updates when I first get a phone that hasn't achieved root yet. Is it safe to install?

This is why I always hold off on every update. Seems as if people are still finding what this update was all about.

Blueborne update, as far as I know
