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

Another way to update AT&T devices on that aren't on AT&T is to get an AT&T SIM (99ยข 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.

Hi,
I bought a LG G3 from Ebay which was blocked on AT&T for using it both in the USA and in Europe (I choose this model for its frequencies supported). It is a D850 model as you can expect.
After receiving it, I unlocked it to run different carriers. I rooted it as well.
I want to install the AT&T 5.0.1 update from OTA (I don't care about root right know). But I have one big problem. I keeps saying that my software is up to date which is wrong. Is it because I'm on T-Mobile right know and AT&T blocks the update ?!
I'm using build D85010d. right know and I never had a software update notification. I've tried to set my phone date to a couple days forward as suggested by Android Police. No luck.
I just want to have the update. After that if it says "you are rooted, you can't install", I will unroot it and reinstall.
Is there any way to update manually ? I heard it's impossible thanks to AT&T.
This is beginning to irritate me.
Thank you in advance

have you found any solutions to this? i'm using an unlocked att G3 as well (although not blocked) and I can't figure out how to update. i even tried to put someone's ATT sim in it and it still said it was up to date, which is completely false. god i hate att. can't update, can't use Qi charging, can't do anything.
I can't update my lg g3(d855) too. It's have the 4.4.2 kitkat and i want upgrade it to 5.0.1 lollipop.
Plzz help if u find a solution to this problem
Same issue .......how to update to lollipop manually ....................... if someone can help it will be appreciated :good:
I am having an issue with the AT&T Lollipop update, as well. I bought a D850 from eBay on KitKat 4.4.2, and when I inserted my AT&T MVNO SIM and checked for updates, it found the Lollipop update. It started downloading, but about 2/3 of the way through, the display shut off (I had it set for 15 minutes). When I got the display back, this action had stopped the download, and it did not continue. Now, when I check for updates, it just says I have the current version. I have run system resets, and tried a different AT&T SIM, but I can't get the Lollipop download again. Does the start of a FOTA download set a flag somewhere that prevents re-downloading?
Only thing I could think of is asking for a .kdz file for your phone and carrier and then flashing that using the LG Flash Tool
unable to update D850
I have the same issue. I have a D850 AT&T version and my is not showing any update available. I am in 4.4.2. Any solution how to update? Please help. Thanks to all
I'm another victim of this. Have someone found a solution? I'm desperated. And sad, I feel scammed.

Hi, I'm New in the XDA forum.
My name is Neeraj
And when I saw your post, I found me.
What ever you do please don't do custom rom update.i found that in a hard way.
Like you I too bought one from ebay, at&t logo but unlocked, and while trying to update says it's up to date.
Later I found out I need at&t SIM to update the phone. Because it's only network unlocked not the entire phone. It still got some sorts of at&t restrictions.
Any way I went and rooted, installed twrp, and cm13 6.0.1 then Walla my phone goes into reboot loop and when it finally opens up the network doesn't work.
By the I'm in Australia , temporary residence and I don't have at&t SIM.
So good luck and infact i'm hoping some one will guide me too
I fixed it, don't know exactly if it will work on others.
But what exactly I did was search Google download official stock rom for at&t LG G3 D 850 ( KitKat or lollipop), flash the rom and Walla got my IMEI number restored and it fixed my boot loop problem.
Then backed up by all data, IMEI, etc and then flashes back to custom CM marshmallow. Now all is well. ?
Hope it this will help some one aleast a newbie lie me
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

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...
Hey everyone.
I'm running on completely Stock 5.1.1 OK1 on my Note 4 and just recieved the official MM OTA update last night. Due to my phone having a lot of junk and being laggy I decided to flash the official firmware from any external method to have a clean install of the os. I heard about Samsung Kies which makes a back up of your phone and installs the latest os, I installed and backed up my phone last night but it didn't seem to give me an update on the os, it said "This is the latest version" (5.1.1 COK1).
My main concern about this is. I've bought this phone from Pakistan (used phone but in brand new condition) and I'm currently living in Malaysia and I have no idea who was the previous owner of this phone. In Kies it shows the phone number different than what I have (maybe its the Sprint phone number?).
What if my carrier is locked by having a clean install? Or any sort of other related issue occurs.
Please take some time to enlighten the facts from your knowledge, will highly appreciate it.
Regards.
waiting for official release bro. If rom is released on sammobile, see the icon kies highlighted on the right.

Yeah but you totally missed my question here.
Its not that I don't want to do some research myself, I'm a student and I'm busy most of the time. So if anyone can take out their precious time to answer my question I'd really appreciate the help.
If you're concerned about your phone or sim getting lock..you can just use galaxy tools apk v3.1.5 & then upgrade the apk to v3.1.8 & it will unlocked it for you... but i doubt it will lock you down... maybe you can just try to back your rom completely & restore if any issues encounter
it's dependent on the way that they unlocked the phone, someone in vietnam has been locked after updated the phone, but my phone was not.

And I have no idea how my phone was unlocked, I just bought it like this. I can see the Sprint phone number on Samsung Kies maybe I should write an email to Sprint asking them to unlock it using that Sprint phone number?
I converted my unlocked US Note 10+ to T-Mobile. I am not receiving any OTA updates. My phone says that I am on the current software with December 1st Security patch.(the package I flashed in Odin) SL8 There is a January update available SLB but my phone doesn't see it. I know I can just manually flash it but it's kind of inconvenient. Anyone else able to pull updates after converting? In the T-Mobile app my device shows as "Unknown device" so I'm not sure if I should go back to the unlocked US firmware or try to figure if I goofed along the way. Thanks for any help.

Did you use the non home csc when (and do the factory data reset after successfully) flashing the phone with T-Mobile firmware?
If you didn't then that can cause the issue your having with OTA.
Yeah I did that. I'll back up my data and flash the old update, factory reset, and then see if it'll pull the latest update. Thanks. I've read where a couple of people are having issues with ota updating
I brought my Sprint Note 9 to TM. I didn't flash anything, but couldn't get OTA updates. I know I could have flashed TM, but I was lazy. I called my TM experts. They called Samsung. Samsung looked up to see where the nearest Samsung tech was. It was at a Best Buy. She was in the Geek Squad area. She evidently flashed the TM firmware. After that I was able to get the TM OTAs. There was no charge for this. I happily upgraded to the 10+ 5G when TM got it. I love it! It also came with Android 10 on it.

So I flashed the old firmware, used the non csc file, hard reset and I still can't pull an ota. Not sure what's wrong.

This is normal since you brought your own device and didn't purchase it from T-Mobile.

Your not doing something right or have skipped/missed a step..
When flashing the t-mobile firmware do so in it's entirety. Be sure to use the userdata as well.
The flashing process is pretty easy and rather straight forward, but as a refresher follow the instructions at the bottom of this post

That may be the issue. The tutorial I used said not to flash the userdata. So when I do this again, I should flash the Tmobile userdata along with it.

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.
