Hello, I bought a note 2 last week in usa, i am now back home in austria. My note 2 is on 4.1.1 but i read everywhere that an update to 4.2 is now available in austria either per kies or ota. My note 2 is factory unlocked and unbranded. when i try to update ota or with kies i am told my software is up to date but it is on 4.1.1. Can anyone give me any advice, is it because i bought it in usa?

Cant seem to get a concrete answer anywhere. I Sim unlocked my tmobile note 3 and I'm currently running it on the ATT network. Will I get OTA updates from Tmobile still or just nothing at all?

If you're running a completely stock rom (no root or recovery) you will get updates still.

If you are rooted, your phone will attempt to download OTA updates but most likely they wont install and you will lose root. This happens on the S3 and S4... so N3 shoulnt be any different.

If your phone is NOT rooted and if you have the stock firmware in the phone then:
You will only get updates for AT&T if you have an AT&T activated sim card in the phone.
Without a activated Tmobile sim card in the phonoe you will never get tmobile updates.
Good luck!
Thats what I figured, if it is Tmobile, you will get the ATT update, and that might be an issue. I am watching the forums for any post of an OTA, then will swap cards back.
There is no way that tmo phone will accept att ota even with active att sim on it. Ota checks phone model and att ota wont show at all on tmobile phone. You can always download latest update from samsung website

So is the simple solution just to use Samsung Kies? I bought a 2nd hand Galaxy S5 and it had been on O2 but unlocked. I'm now using it on EE (I'm in the UK). Will Kies let me do an in place upgrade without having to wipe?
so would my unlocked Verizon Google Pixel phone get the Android 9.0 PIE update when i'm using a MetroPCS sim ?
Hi all
purchased a phone from an online store in AUS which claimed to be a sm-n910F note 4 but had hacked software, after some help from this site it was identified as being an Verizon SM-910V in cognito, long story short flashed it with original sm-n910V software, when it starts its says Verizon and works fine on the Australian network. I plugged it into KIES and upgraded to Marshmallow firmware but I am one of the 900 Million phones that has the QUALCOMM vulnerability and I want to patch it when the security patch is released in september but when I go to use the software update on the phone it says this service is temporarily unavailable assuming because its looking for the Verizon network and I am on virgin residing in Australia. When I go into KIES it tells me there is a firmware upgrade but its trying to install the full Marshmallow firmware again. Anybody know of a way to trick the phone into thinking its on the Verizon network so it will download updates or could I simply grab the security download when its released and install directly to the phone via ODEN. Lesson never buy a phone that's coming from over seas its a real headache if you end up with something dodgy, thanks to anybody who can offer advice

Got notification this morning for a 217mb update ending in ASGF. Pretty weird since we just got the July patch only two weeks ago, after not getting an update in over two months. Definitely not complaining though! Sorry if repost
I don't see that update on my G975U1
I got it too. August US unlocked
Just got the update!
is available via samfirm
Unfortunately i just switched over to carrier firmware for faster updates. Now Samsung finally does it right. At least carriers should be releasing it in a week or two.

Whats new in this August update?

No idea. There are no details listed on the Samsung website or in the notification popup. I mean the security patch has been brought up to date (August) but other than that, I can't say.
Got the notification today.... Hopefully someone can breakdown what is in the update because 200+mb is rather hefty right?
what sim are you guys using to get this ota update?

U1 updates are released by Samsung. One gets a U1 update as long as one has a existing U1 firmware irrespective of the SIM.

I believe you have been misinformed. Please be patient and wait for the update to show up on your phone if you are already on U1 firmware or download the latest U1 firmware using Frija and Odin flash. All the very best.
Update is due to a exploit in the chip. Some one can take control of our phones if we are on the same wifi. Kudos for the fast update.
I updated and now I don't get icons on my lock screen for notifications. Anybody else have the same problem?
975u1 August Firmware Patch T mobile
Hello,
I have a US unlocked 975u1 and use Tmobile. No one seems to know what I am talking about with an Aug Update. I have spent time on the Phone with Samsung and Tmob customer service. Stuck on July patch ASCB. Night mode is still disabled. Samsung Switch has nothing on it as of this morning.
How do I get the firmware everyone else is on? If I get a sim card from another carrier, does that sim need to be activated in order to get the latest patch? I am clueless here.

U1 firmware with the August security patch and Night mode is available and does end in ASGF.
Unless you flashed T-Mobile firmware on your U1 model or you purchased an unlocked U1 with T-Mobile firmware already installed (I'm not sure how to check that in the settings but U1 firmware doesn't come with any T-Mobile branded apps) you should be receiving OTA updates from Samsung rather than T-Mobile.
The U1 OTA update was pushed weeks ago making it the only OTA update we received before the carriers.
If you have T-Mobile firmware you could flash the U1 firmware manually and receive OTA updates from Samsung but you will lose T-Mobile branded apps that aren't available in the Play Store. The U1 firmware has also been receiving updates long after the carriers prior to August--in early July we were still on the May security patch.
If you manually flash VZW or SPR firmware as the other member suggested don't flash the User Data partition or you will also get Verizon or Sprint's apps and bloatware. If you do manually flash either of those you will no longer receive OTA updates and will need to keep manually flashing updates in the future.
So I bought my phone directly from Samsung. USA version with snapdragon processor and its non-branded to any carrier, basically an unlocked Galaxy S10+. Its model number is sm-g975u1. Sim card is from Tmobile, my cell phone carrier.. I have software from July 1st, g975u1ueu2ASGB
What do you recommend in my scenario.
Thank you

I would look for the ASGF U1 firmware for U1 with Frija or SamFirm. I'm not sure why you didn't get the OTA.
Hi,
I have a S9 bought in UAE, and I'm using it in UK. Originally it got the UAE Samsung apps (members, etc.) but after last factory reset and using the UK sim card, now I get the UK Samsung apps.
Never flashed any firmware and all the update have been done by the official OTA's. Which OTA update I'm I getting the XEU or XSG? How I can I know this? Thanks

does it matter a ton? The phone has a multi csc in its firmware which is what allowed it to flop over to your new carriers settings without you doing anything. It will download the update for the carrier your sim card dictates, which is likely nearly identical to the one that you would have got had you not put a sim in it in the first place
Can anyone assist in helping me download latest att firmware for S20 ultra? I believe it is G988USQU1ATCT. Back story: I flashed an unlocked Verizon version with the G988USQU1ATAW att firmware and have been unable to get it to update. Currently using the device with First Net. I know att firmware isn't available with frija. Any help would be appreciated.
sammobile
Update: I was able to enable OTA update by first doing a factory reset but most importantly, inserting my wifes ATT sim card. Once inside, I checked software updates, and got 2 updates back to back.
