Verizon- pie update?

Verizon is currently testing CSB3 (same as TMO).
Just did ARL1 --> CSB3 for VZW and it is working perfectly. Carrier branded, Knox okay and all

(Waiting was sooo painful though. Shame on VZW...)
 
The only weird thing is in the software update history it shows only the last VZW OTA to ARL1. The full software version information correctly shows PPR1.180610.011.N960USQU1CSB3 and One UI and Android 9.0. Security patch level 2/1/2019.
 
I read that T Mob only released CSB3 to a few people, not everyone... not sure what that's all about.
 
I'm curious though, as Dakster pointed out above that the update history shows the last update was ARL1 even though he is loaded running CSB3. Wouldnt the phone still get hit with the update notification available if the carrier still shows the last update as ARL1? just trying to understand the mechanism as it is still official software. It's not like he was rooted running a custom ROM.
 
anyone have the link to arl1. I can't remember if I downloaded it off someone's Google Drive I don't believe it was on firmware science.

Yes because ARL1 was last update before pie , he didn't want to wait for the OTA so he sideload it through sd card . More then likely Verizon when they roll it out because it's so late will be same like tmobile CSB3 feburary security
