I have a Galaxy S8+ that was purchased on verizon that is still on android 8. I recently moved to TMobile and when I try to look for updates via the setting menu, it does not find the Android 9 update. Is my only option to manually update now?

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:

Click on "update via computer".
Cheers,

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.
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)

Can confirm, I received the update today as well.
I'd like to get this without wiping my device as my N920A is not on AT&T

...even though I won't actually get any AT&T service here in Jamaica? I have no issue buying a SIM card to do the update. I just know that I won't get any reception here in Jamaica.

No you don't, you have to update using ADB side load.

I need some help people! I have an att note 5 and moved to a different country, I have no access to att sim card or thier network. Is there a way I can update this via sideload and may I know where I can find the Ota file? Thanks!

Rooted?
Hey guys
I just bought n920a from china. and it has nothing inside. so is it rooted maybe? cuz when ı downloaded banking app it says your phone is rooted etc. and there was no app of any at&t samsung pay facebook nothing. some google and samsung apps was installed. also there was no at&t logo after restart my phone. I wonder if my phone rooted maybe??
by the way, Im so upset right now cuz ı just wanted to upgrade nougat and its all gone. now I have all at&t apps also logo at the start screen.. :crying:
Jelasco, Check to see that you don't have a clone. Simple to plug in usb to pc and watch for drivers. If it says mtk devices, its a clone. Just my 1st thought...

Having the same issue here. I've tried:
- Hard reset
- Using my AT&T sim chip to get it on the 4g network, turning off wifi
- Using Samsung Smart Switch
None of the above would yield any updates past 8.1. It just keeps saying I have the latest of everything. Gah!
SOLVED

I was in the same situation for over a year and a half and finally i managed to update by flashing it.
On an unlocked ATT TAB S4 i flashed , T Mobile ROM and Verizon ROM (Both PIE).
Download the Roms from SAMfirmare and flash with ODIN, you do not require to ROOT it since all these models are SM-T837A (ATT), T837V (Verizon), T837T (TMO).
I think T Mobile ROM is the best as it has Call & Text on other device option and Feb 20 Security update Patch.
Hope this helps!

Actually I managed to solve it a different way:
1. Put in active AT&T SIM chip.
2. Do a hard reset & wipe.
3. Don't put it on wifi during initial setup (unsure if this helped or not, but I erred on the side of caution).
4. Complete basic initial setup.
5. Check for software updates while on the AT&T network.
6. Many updates came through in succession.... first the update to Pie, then a half dozen smaller security updates.
7. Put the phone back on wifi and pulled my SIM chip out.
8. Enjoy.
