Hi everyone
I'm new here and english is not my first language so please be patient.
I have a Note 8 running stock 4.1.2 ... The first time I turn it on it asked me to create a samsung account and then started to download and install updates, since then, the firmware still the same and I read here that a lot of people has been rocking 4.2.2 for a while now, but when I hit "check for updates" it says that I have the latest updates installed, now I'm wondering if when samsung launches 4.4.2 would I get the update? in case I don't get the update, is there any way to get it or install it manually without voiding my warranty?
I'd really apreciate if somebody explains this to me and share with me the links to the tutorials to do this if it is posibble.
BTW... I'm from México if this helps to know whats happening
Thanks in advance.
Ok, is your 5110 a carrier based tablet or retail.
Mine came factory with 4.2.2 late 2013.
So I could not verify why the update you tried is not working.
It is possible Samsung servers have not registered your device and may take a few days to push an update.
Make sure your Samsung Account has the device registered, if so, you can try to push an update through Kies. Once your have your tablet setup in the program.

Well, mine came with 4.1.2 and I also bought it late 2013, I bought the tablet in a mall and doesn't appear to be linked to any carrier. I made the registration process but I don't know anything else, How do I check if my device has been registrered properly? the Note updated a lot of samsung apps and I have acces to samsung app store, so I though everything about registration was right, and yes, I tryed to update via Kies but is the same history, maybe is something about me geografic location.
Is there another way to get the updates or download the firmwares and install them?
Thanks for answer.

You can use Kies, it will find and apply an update regardless of root.
To answer your question, if you write down what firmware you have *now*, we can check what is its update. It should be visible in the "about phone" section.
Its fixed now
Basically i downloaded all the different firmwares of UK
then i tried o2 and it worked
Hey guys, I hope someone can help me with this problem.
So, as title says, I have a problem updating my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (GT9195) Black Edition to the latest Android OS. I bought it a week ago and It runs 4.2.2 now but when I go to "About device > Software Update > Check for update" it always says that "there is no software update available at this moment". I installed Kies, connected the device via USB cable and checked for update (as a friend told me to do) ... same result.. It showed me I have the latest OS version installed. I thought that maybe 4.4.2 did not yet arrived for the users from my country but what I don't understand is why doesn't it update to 4.3 ? I see there is a 4.3 official update available and on samsung' site it shows the phone runs 4.3 JB+. That's why I don't get what is wrong with my phone.

Nothing is wrong. Each region has they all specific product code, different carrier/network could has also they own code. If it says no update, that just means no official updates. If you really want the update, check: http://samsung-updates.com/ for official firmware updates. Or simply use a custom ROM - it is one of the reasons why people chose to use custom ROM.

Well bought this phone free of contract, it's not locked in any network and I'm from Romania, Europe. 4.3 update got released many months ago so I really don't understand.... is there something about my country.
Manually installing an official ROM from Samsung-updates will not remove my warranty?

You really need to ask the local Samsung that question...
If you have Knox, unfortunately it will void your warranty, so check see if your phone has Knox buy going to download mode.
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?
Greetings,
I'm super new here, also a tech noob so pls be gentle.
I purchased an unlocked At&T Note 10+, and i am living in Malaysia. Little that I know At&T would never send updates to out network, and that I require an At&t SIM in order to get the updates. Currently I am stucked with Android 9, ONE UI 1.5, with no hope of getting anything higher than that.
My question is, how can i get the updates besides flashing a new firmware? I tried connecting to Smart Switch on my laptop, and all it can says is that my software is up to date on SJ8 (ATT).
Hope there's a way other than flashing. HELP.

Hi Mohd Azrimny,
Am in the same boat as you. In Malaysia and have the note 10 plus at&t version. How did you manage? I am using Odin and getting error message connection failed. Not sure what is the problem.
Can you point me from where you downloaded the firmware? I am suspecting that is the culprit.
Thanks!

I'm sorry but I don't think there's other way around, you'll need to flash another firmware.
I have an Unlocked Verizon Note10+, the first thing I did after getting it out of the box was flash the unbranded firmware (CSC: XAA).
Ever since, I've had OTA updates as quick as they're released for N975U1.

I see...tq man. Can u help me out with one last thing? As they are thousands of firmware out there, which one should i choose? Can i simply choose any unbranded firmware (N975U1) from any month security updates n just flash it? I just need a stock ROM, not the latest should be ok as the OTA will take care of the rest.
Right now i'm at nov 2019 security updates SJ8 (ATT).
Thanks in advance.

Well, unfortunately I'm not sure about previous versions, however I'm leaving attached my SW information, my CSC is XAA.
You can download it from sammobile or frija (this is way faster).
Hope this helps,
Regards.
So, knowing you are a noob is half the solution already...
I highly recommend you look for Frija on the internet. Download the tool, search for the phone you have , it is a SM-N975U , and since you want to get rid from the AT&T version, you can install the SM-N975U1 version with XAA as CSC, that Samsung themselves push updates to. Even if they will not, you can always download the next revisions..
I assume you know how to use Odin..

No worries, as Odin and the phone check revisions and suitability. If not the right firmware, it should not write it.
