Galaxy S8 February 2018 security patch rolling out now
Samsung has gradually been rolling out the February 2018 security patch to compatible devices and with the month now over, it has finally released the latest security maintenance release for the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+. Both handsets have now received the February 2018 security patch in the United States.
Samsung also rolled out the same patch for the unlocked Galaxy Note 8 in the United States a few days ago. The Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge have already received this update.
Galaxy S8 February 2018 security patch
As we have pointed out recently, Samsung has been taking it rather slow with the February 2018 security patch roll out. It appears that most compatible devices may not receive the latest patch well into the month of March which has begun today. Samsung might very well decide to skip ahead to the March 2018 patch.
The security maintenance release for the month of February 2018 brings fixes for five critical vulnerabilities as well as dozens of medium-risk and low-risk vulnerabilities. It also features fixes for 16 vulnerabilities found in Samsung’s software.
The company is now rolling out firmware version G950USQS2BRB1 for the Galaxy S8 in the United States and G955USQS2BRB1 for the Galaxy S8+. The relevant firmware files can be downloaded from our firmware section here for the Galaxy S8 and here for the Galaxy S8+.
Those who are based in regions where the Galaxy S8 Android Oreo update has already been rolled out need not concern themselves with this update. That’s because Oreo for the Galaxy S8 comes with the February 2018 security patch. The United States is one of the markets where Oreo hasn’t been released yet and it’s going to take even longer for carrier-locked devices.

I updated my s8 plus to android 8 (oreo)
And now i have a big issue my phone dont fast charge , i loss the fast charge
Im using the orginal charger and cable but the charge very slow.. please help samsung
On my s8+ i have November 2017 security patch and 7.0 nougat and still no sign of the latest security patch or the latest Oreo update..
Samsung has to get things straight. They are just all over the place with patches and updates.
im on android 7.0 (01 December 2017 security patch. with no news of any update no security or oreo update
The people at samsung are either deaf (since they are not listening) or blind (they can’t see the requests). They don’t care no more about their previous flagship which was their bestseller last year.
They only care now about their new phone i.e. S9/S9+. So all S8/S8+ owners you are not going to get any attention now or in near future.
Either you cry or shout at samsung in anger. They are not f##king care.
All of the flagships have oreo
All
and samsung releases update every 10 days maybe more for 2 countries.
I think 2 years later update arrives to iran 😑😑😑😑.
Do something for your updating system samsung
It’s worst in all companies.
Htc 10(not u11 or …) updated to android oreo 6 weeks ago .
And s8 ?
Totalmente decepcionada y enojada! Sin Oreo en mi S8, y sin parche de seguridad…Samsung: sépanlo…son irrespetuosos con sus clientes, se olvidan que hasta hace unos dÃas el buque insignia era S8 y S8+. Saben donde pueden meterse su maldito S9?????? Aunque pudiera no lo comprarÃa definitivamente. Espero que esta semana tenga Oreo, escuchen a sus clientes..aunque no les importe ahora…Van a perder mucho si no escuchan! 🤬
What?
You want the attentions you used to have? Upgrade to s9.
You want Oreo? Upgrade to Oreo.
You want them to care? Just fu*** upgrage to s9!
I would actively advice others against buying any Samsung devices. This is not acceptable; no Oreo, no security patch since NOVEMBER!
It’s unbelievable!
Samsung Tagline should be: ” We don’t care” from now on. WTH…………………………..
In Israel they make ecause that they check the update and when Samsung be ready they push it globally…
My carrier need to give me an answer today about the update
Aka pelephone telecom Israel
No any firmware updates also for India so far. I’m eagerly awaiting for to update my j7Pro to oreo. just curious to see how that would be.
Mtfkrs
Samsung i am really disappointed still we didnt get any oreo update in pakistan 🖕😡
hahahahha you are not alone sir.
Nothing in Belgium too. No patch, no update to Oreo…. Lux version….
S9 is the new flagship now. We have officially an old phone now. Next one, no Samsung.
Someone has experience with Nokia?
No update(s) for the S8+ in UK yet either and TBQH Samsung’s attitude towards its customers is quite appalling in this respect, I have an unlocked sim free S8+ and it will be my last Samsung phone, I’ve had enough of the apathetic attitude of Samsung who really couldn’t give a “fig” once they have your hard earned cash.
Totally agree. Samsung seems to think that they can treat UK customers like idiots. No offers or gifts for pre ordering – unlike virtually every other market. Disabling major selling features like mst. Stupidly late software updates, and we are charged more for our devices than most other markets to boot. Way to kick your UK customers in the nuts. This is the best way to put people off of purchasing further Samsung products. Way to go Samsung. Give yourselves a pat on the back!
Even in Iran they are giving it away with free wireless charger, 128GB SD, 20GB internet, cover and extended warranty.
I wouldn’t go for it anyway. Maybe if it was free :))
I for one will not be getting another Samsung.
The s8 is my first and will be my last samsung device.
SM-G955F in Portugal and still in android 7.0 …
No update yet.
it seems like there is another holdback for oreo update, nice job samsung.
sarc on
Wkwkwk they are mtfkrs
it’s like a “patch” for americans “hey guys you would wait for oreo like morans . but yeah we give u the new patch awile you wait” this how it’s look like
instand push the update of oreo gobally and end with all
What’s a moran?
Got BRB1 today, US Sprint.
And in Australia we sit on October patch still… 😒
I ended up flashing the beta then updated to full oreo from the files on XDA, all good and updated, even with an OTA last week as well.
And in Iran we sit on November patch!
What are we to Samsung? Bunch of idiots ?
Where is non beta Oreo final version for S8 (SM-G950FD), now started March?
From the Galaxy Nexus 8 to Android 8, you have a new story؟؟؟
Samsung has forgotten the Galaxy Note 8 … May we forget Samsung.

They simply do not care about you. Get used to it or change your device.
