Google Play System Update (October 2025) rolls out for Samsung devices

Google Play System Update was a feature that was introduced for devices that ship with Android 10 or newer. It’s mandatory for device manufacturers that plan to release their devices with Android 10 to support Google Play System Updates. As a result, non-Google devices, such as Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets released with Android 10 (One UI 2.1), can receive such updates, too.

These updates don’t require security updates from the manufacturer to work, as Project Mainline modules work independently to give you better experience with Android phones and tablets.

On October 28th, a new Google Play System Update has been pushed to Samsung devices. This update upgrades your Project Mainline modules to the October 1st, 2025 version. This update weighs around 49 MB.

To be able to get this version, follow these steps:

  • Go to your device’s settings
  • Open the security settings
  • Find “Google Play System Update” and tap on it
  • If everything goes OK, you should see the below update dialog:
  • Click on Download and Install, wait for it to download, then reboot your device by clicking on the blue Restart button. The next time your device boots up, the revised update gets installed, so it’s going to take about 3 minutes maximum to install all the updates.

    There is no progress bar, so don’t panic if it looks stuck. Your device will eventually boot up. Now, open your settings app and check your Google Play System Update. If everything is well, you should see October 1st, 2025 below the appropriate button.

    In case your device didn’t receive the update, wait for a few days, and it will be available shortly.

    Stay tuned for the November patch of 2025!

    Tentative logo of Android 17 Cinnamon Bun spotted!

    Today is the release day of the much anticipated Google Pixel 10 phone, a successor of Google Pixel 9 released last year. It powers a much powerful Google Tensor G5 (4nm process) system on a chip (SoC) that provides you with the powerful octa-core processor and a Mali-G715 MC7 GPU. It will be released with Android 16, and the next version, called Android 17 Cinnamon Bun, is going to be its first upgrade for the phone series.

    We found a tentative image of what appears to be the Android 17 logo that is contained by the pentagon shape (five sides). As usual, it’s set in the space, but with a large dark green square in the middle of the logo that contains nine smaller squares, each colored by lighter green. The “17” appears below the bigger square. You can finally see the logo below.

    Currently, we couldn’t find a higher quality image, due to being a preliminary image of Android 17 Cinnamon Bun logo. We’ll find out more about Android 17 in the coming months.

    This is the tentative logo of Android 17 Cinnamon Bun scheduled for summer of 2026!

    Samsung stops the One UI leaks

    As internal builds kept leaking to the public to let users know about what Samsung has done to One UI 8.0 in the smallest of the details, Samsung has become aware of the situation and has hardened their official OTA servers to prevent unauthorized access to the internal One UI builds for all devices, known as the “test builds.”

    A user, Farlune, has discovered what was happening behind the scenes in the huge leak scene that happened even before Samsung has opened the beta program. Gerwin van Giessen from SammyGuru has reposted a report from Farlune that was sent to the official Samsung security team through the bug bounty program. Here’s the report:

    Subject: Unauthorized Access and Decryption of Internal Samsunc OTA Test Builds

    Dear Samsung Security Team,

    I would like to report a possible security and confidentiality breach involving the unauthorized access and distribution of internal OTA test builds.

    A .cs (C#) source file is circulating which appears to interact directly with Samsung’s OTA servers. The file is capable of retrieving internal test firmware builds and uses a method compatible with tools like CheckFirm to decrypt metadata or access pre-release firmware, potentially bypassing standard access controls.

    The tool may be leveraging:

    • Internal URLs or endpoints related to FOTA (Firmware Over-The- Air) services.
    • Key decryption logic embedded in the .cs file
    • App signatures or tokens meant for internal use only.

    This poses a significant risk as builds meant for internal testing are being accessed and shared publicly (e.g., on Telegram or forums). violating confidentiality and potentially exposing unpatched software.

    If vou’d like, I can share more technical details or code excerpts privately, without disclosing anything publicly or violating terms.

    Please let me know the best way to proceed securely.

    Some other articles that talk about the same topic said that those who have installed the leaked internal builds can get updates to newer internal builds through the normal software update procedure.

    Another SammyGuru writer, That Josh Guy, believed that this leaking scene happened at the time the community were being very desperate for the One UI 7 update that took a significant amount of time. One UI 8 was being tested on the Galaxy S25 at the time One UI 7 was yet to be released.

    This kind of act, which is leaking internal One UI builds, violates the confidentiality, so Samsung’s response to the report is very good. This is because leaking confidential information from any company, such as the internal One UI build files, is illegal.
