Help upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2 - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Hey all. This is my situation. I have a GT-5110N wifi only tablet that I purchased 2 years ago in Canada. The motherboard recently crashed and the repair place put in a SIM enabled motherboard Model SGH-I467 with Android Jelly bean 4.1.2 I wan't to upgrade to 4.4.2 as I had with my previous motherboard. With extensive searching I found out that this is an AT&T tablet. I try to use the OTA update on the tablet but it says I have the latest version. The AT&T website says there was a OTA update to 4.4.2 in October 2014. I've called both AT&T and Samsung for help. No dice. What can I do?? I checked on sammobile and they only have the 4.1.2 version. However, the SGH-I467M through Telus contains 4.4.2 Can I download that?? I'm new to rooting etc. Do I need to unlock device?? Please help.
Thanks

Unfortunately, there is no firmware available for the sgh-i467 4.4.2
I recently got my 4.4.2 rom rooted and extracted the rom components - but I am trying to find someone who knows what to do with all the stuff to create an odin flashable rom.... but we are not there yet... hoping someone can help out.
If you keep watching here on the forums, it may happen at some point.

Weird as the AT&T website says there is.
I can't post the link yet but its there. I'll cut and paste

Also, the same model but Canadian version has the update SGH-I467M

Yes... there is a firmware available via ota... fota is firmware over the air update...
The only way to get it is to be on att cellular network. It is not available to download any other way as far as I know. If you find a way to do so, please report back to us where to get it.
Also, the i467M is the Canadian model and it has different firmware... it is not the same as i467.

oh ok. Now I understand. Thanks man. I tried to get AT&T to help me out. If I had a US IP address, would the wifi update work?? Or am I required to have an AT&T sim card installed?? I guess you kinda stated that already.

I had to have an active att sim card to get it to work on my device... wouldn't work any other way for me.

Thanks
Thanks dandroid. I guess the next time I travel to the US I'll see if I can get a hold of and active SIM card. Let me know if you hear of any other solutions. Thanks again.

Dandroid: If I request AT&T to unlock the device, will that help me?? Another question, would the firmware upgrade file from sammobile for the equivalent Telus device work then if I unlocked it from AT&T and then used odin??

Att will only sim unlock, which makes the device useable with other brand sim cards... mine was already Sim unlocked by att before I tried to update to 4.4.2, but in still needed an active att sim to update it.
Trying to flash any firmware other than sgh-i467 will brick your device - doesn't matter if it is unlocked or not.

Thanks again

Thanks dandroid. I guess I either wait and update on my next trip to the US (who knows when) or try the AT&T gophone option. $5 sim card and $20 refill. Activate it and hopefully it recognizes it then lets me do upgrade via wifi or Kies. That should work right?

That sounds like the easiest option to try... if you can get a cheap Sim card it might be worth a try.
I love this tablet, but I hate this locked bootloader bs...

Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Firmware Update

OK so I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 from ATT Model SM-T707A. I recently switched from AT&T to T-Mobile. The new firmware came out (5.0.2). Supposedly, it can only be downloaded off OTA. Well, since I'm not with AT&T anymore, it won't let me do it that way. I tried searching everywhere for a way to download it and install it manually but I've been failing miserably. Can anyone help me out?
•Software Version: 5.0.2
•Baseband Version: T707AUCU1BOE5
•Kernel Version: 3.4.39-4973971
•Build#: LRX22G.T707AUCU1BOE5
I also haven't been able to find any information on SUCCESSFULLY rooting this model as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hey man,
Did you try updating via Samsung Kies? Details here:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00034201/997374319/
Click on "update via computer".
Cheers,
Su
Shouldn't make any difference what carrier you are on. You don't have to have a sim card in the device to update.
AFAIK it still updates from samsungs servers using the model and build number of your device.
By the looks of it you are already running 5.0.2 if that's your current firmware.
As said above just use kies/smart switch to update, if there actually is one.
There was a ~130MB update released a few weeks back (presumably for stage fright?).
It takes the build from BOE4 to BOE5... not sure if this shuts out Kingroot etc.?!
This thread says you have to have an active AT&T SIM card to upgrade.

Have you tried Samsung kiosk at Best Buy?
FYI, I was able to update a AT&T galaxy tab s with stock OTA update over WiFi, without any SIM in the tablet.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 AT&T Marshmallow UK

I purchased a Galaxy Note 5 from eBay. It came with Android 5.1.1, i have tried doing a software update but says i have the latest software. I have tried updating through Samsung Smart Switch but says my device is not supported. I have read other people have updated to Android 6 but it will not update mine. Is there anything else i can do? My device is the N920A. Thanks
You need to have an (activated) AT&T SIM Card in the phone before you can get OTA updates on an AT&T model - that really stinks doesn't it? !!!
However if you are willing to do a factory reset and use ODIN to flash the firmware upgrade, you can get the July 6.0.1 Marshmallow update form here:
http://www.androidsage.com/2016/06/...5-to-n920aucu2bpe6-android-6-0-1-marshmallow/
I am in Canada and was wondering if it would work to get a AT&T pay as you go sim card for the phone and then do the update over wifi?
Have now done the upgrade and running Marshmallow, thanks for your help
Good to hear ... did you use Odin or did you find an AT&T SIM for OTA update?
You can also apply all the OTA updates using ADB sideload (but that factory resets your handset every time, so do a full backup with Smart Switch PC app beforehand)

Help with updating ATT branded Note4 on Tmobile.

I've got a friend who purchased an unlocked Note4 with ATT branding and software. She uses it on Tmobile. I noticed recently while googling that it looks like currently note4 on ATT is on marshmallow. However, when i try updating the phone it says its already up to date. The phone is currently on 5.1.1. Not sure why it's not updating. Could it be because it's on Tmobile as the carrier since its an ATT branded phone? How would I go about updating it?

I was in the same situation, and discovered an XDA thread that allowed me how to update my note4.
It's as simple as downloading the official at&t updates onto your sdcard and apply onto your phone.
It's a long thread, but well worth the read:

I really appreciate the hint. i just recently got a new note4 (obvioulsy im not in the U.S) and cant get updates like you. Im very new to samsung (mod,flashed the shaiza out of my m8 and nexus 7, but this is new territory)
when i saw the link you shared it has the following
EPH5 to EPH7.
DOI9-to-EPH5
DOI7 to EPH5
DOI6-to-EPH5
i dont see DOI2.
can you please help me out with a few more hints as to what you did to get the latest update available... (i know about placing the files on sd and bootlader, select update etc)
but do i have to manually install every update to reach the last one?

I guess you didn't make it to page 161
Start with page 161, then go back to the 1st page of the thread and download all updates/patches.

I performed every step one-at-a-time.
Another option is to utilize ODIN (software) to jump steps, but it requires windows.
I don't do windows
Remove the back cover (so the phone doesn't overheat), and take your time...it will take a while

you Godsend! thanks for confirming. will get back to reading -->

Another way to update AT&T devices on that aren't on AT&T is to get an AT&T SIM (99¢ on the AT&T GoPhone site), activate it on GoPhone but don't add any funds. The unfunded SIM won't let you make calls, send texts or use AT&T data but it will let you get OTA updates on WiFi.

NOTE 10 + AT&T (SGO) Update to Android 10 help needed

Dear XDA developers.
I'm not an expert in this and i need someone to help or guide me through please to update my Note 10 + AT&T (N975USQU1ASGO) to Andriod 10. the last Security patch i got is July 2019. I tried:
1- Update the software... nothing works
2- Use Smart switch update, it does not provide any updates, always says I'm up to date.
3- Talked to AT&T customer service, they don't know anything. Same with Samsung guys.
It's noted that I unlocked the Phone to work on my T-mobile sim card. Is this a reason why I'm not getting any updates?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mido

Could be that you need an active AT&T SIM Card installed before you can receive the updates.
Some say this is no longer necessary with AT&T devices, but, if you know of someone who can lend you their AT&T SIM Card, at least you can rule it out one way or the other.
Odin... Don't wait for ATT to give updates. If it's unlocked just bypass them... Unless you need wifi calling voLTE...
All you need is samfirm or the other one, the current CSC that has the updated Android os, and Odin
No root required.
Use the home_csc to keep all user data. I'm willing to help if needed

Thank you for your advice. you mean if i just put an At&T active sim then it should get the updates somehow?

As long as it's active, yes.
Again, I'd borrow one from someone, if you can.
Its been a couple years since I last had an unlocked AT&T phone, I bit the bullet and bought a prepaid AT&T Card (with phone/data) for this very reason & was able to immediately download any pending updates.
No guarantees that this will work, as some state that this isn't necessary any more.
IDK if you bought the phone new direct from AT&T, but, if you got it anywhere else, someone may have altered the original firmware/software, & perhaps that, if it's the case, could be the culprit.
My 1st stop would be calling AT&T Tech support, that's where I found out about needing an AT&T SIM Card for d/l updates. Again, this was a couple/few years ago, but, that would be my first move.
bro pudiste solucionarlo, tengo el mismo problema
Translation: Bro you could solve it, I have the same problem.
Go to a Samsung Experience at a Best Buy. They can flash it with latest AT&T firmware.
Not sure why you want it though as Pie is a better OS. I keep AT&T updates package blocked at all times.
No issues. Up until a year ago was still running on Kitkat.
The scope storage issue with Q looks real ugly and has to impact performance.
Android is just an Apple coming out of the closet...

ATT N976U firmware hard to find

I have a ATT N976U note 10+5g which i'm using on verizon , it works great but each time att releases an update for it i cannot get it over ota and verizon only has updates for the N976V version. Does any one know where and how i can manually download the att updates to install them with odin afterwards ?

Years ago, I had the same issue with a Note 2,an AT&T version, but using it on another network (T-Mobile).
I had to go so far as to getting a month's worth of service w/pre-paid AT&T to connect to their servers to pull the update. Same a bit later with an LG device.
Fast forward to a year or two ago & some state this isn't necessary, but, it sounds like the same is holding true for you.
My suggestion is to find someone with an active AT&T SIMCard, see if you can borrow it to pull the update.
Another suggestion is to use Samsung's desktop PC tool Smart Switch, see if that works.
Otherwise, I'm stumped, unless you're familiar with Odin & someone here can locate the latest firmware to flash.
This should help with why your encountering difficulty finding (and a way to obtain) AT&T firmware.
