Samsung Galaxy S8 has got the March 2018 security update G950USQU2CRC5. Here is a very simple Step By Step guide to update the security OTA Update Manually on the Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G950U (US Carriers).
Just download the Firmware update using the SamFirm utility or SamMobile website as provided in the below section and then follow the manual OTA update guide to get the latest security firmware update.
Before downloading the OTA and update the same manually, you should check if the firmware OTA is available for your device or not.
To check for the OTA Update, Go to Settings -> About Phone -> Software Update -> Check for UpdateDISCLAIMER:
Manually updating the firmware will WIPE EVERYTHING on your phone. Make sure you do a backup of your phone or backup using Samsung Smart Switch or if you have TWRP installed then you can take a NANDROID backup using the TWRP.
