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.
Sent from my SM-G975U using XDA Labs
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.

It will still work. The SPR in the ROM stands for Sprint. Check the CSC file to confirm before you flash it but I thought it said SPR. Just flash the ROM using the Odin patched version for it to work.
I am using a AT&T Note 10 with the Star Wars ROM and I just received the Android 10 update earlier tonight. You will still receive the OTA updates but they just might be for the unlocked version if you are okay with that.

For it to get the updates you need to use the CSC that came with the ROM you flash if that makes sense.

I have a question for anyone that may know more than me...
I have an unlocked sprint note 10 plus. Ive flashed it with XAA. So im on unlocked firmware on an unlocked sprint note 10. Im settings my csc shows this... tmk/tmk/spr. Im using metro pcs as the carrier. Where will my updates come from? Using sam info app, it shows the firmware as XAA and active csc as tmk. I have a bunch of avalible csc to use but i dont have the dialer codes with metro. I have inserted a att sim and i have the dialer code to change the csc. However when i put the metro pcs sim in, it goes back to tmk/tmk/spr.
Question 1: With tmk/tmk/spr, on XAA firmware, where will updates come from? Metro Pcs, sprint, or samsung?
Question 2: Are the csc codes tmk/tmk/spr correct being as i am on XAA firmware?
Thanks!
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.

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.

was going to say all the carrier models use same firmware
So did the att sim work with the unlocked verizon firmware and you have the sm-g988u1 phone, just asking im trying to get Android 11 with one ui 3.0
sm-g975u unlocked att phone wanting to change to tmobile. I have a tmobile sim and had originally plugged this in. The phone works fine but I recently noticed it has no Ota updates occurring. I would like to load tmobile firmware on it to enable some of the tmobile features as well but primary concern is ota updates.

When I try says fully updated when I put it on samsung switch it says fully updated
Can this be done?
What firmware do you suggest?
Csc *#272imei#(may have that wrong) but is recognized and does work not sure when and what to use here, many options.
Also, not sure of the answer here, but if I run an update or csc change (the phone is unlocked) would it require me to unlock it again for any reason?
I am trying to get the phone close to a tmobile if that is possible
Thank you in advance if i need to give more info please let me know.
Download the firmware of your current network and flash you will begin to receive updates. However you can also flash the unbranded one which is G975U1 and you will still receive updates too
Can you give directions on how to get the firmware for the current network and how to flash the phone? I have an SM-G975U that is on SPR that I need to get to ATT so it will get updates from cricket. I have found a lot of materials on the internet and not a single one shows all of the steps clear enough for me to risk blowing up my phone. I have found the SPR files and TMK, and USA, and TMB, but no ATT.
Hello everyone.
I just bought what I thought it was an unlocked S20 Ultra over the internet and, nevertheless my sim card form my country works well (Im from México) the OTA updates dont work.
The last security update it has is from March 2020 and I have checked the system update option but it says that my phone is up to date.
I have seen that maybe that the most recent update can be forced using Odin but I dont know what firmware to download for my model so it can be updated regularly via OTA as I only have found firmware options for another USA Carriers that I dont have, and Im scared to brick it for choosing the wrong one.
Curiously enough, the phone model and IMEI correspond to the AT&T USA variation, however, the start up screen doesnt show up any AT&T logo and the phone doesnt have any bloatware from any carrier. So Im not sure if the phone was already flashed with some fw?
The model that it displays is SM-G988U and the S/W is G988USQU1ATBN'
Hope you can help me to have updates on my phone.
Thanks!

Your device is a US Branded Variant, most likely Verizon/ATT. Go to Settings, About Phone, Software Information, Service Provider Software Version. On the bottom row the last three letters will verify which carrier is branded. If it is in fact AT&T you can download the appropriate fw here. Be sure to select the appropriate carrier in the drop down menu but be aware AT&T typically doesn't offer it's firmware to be accessed online.

Thank you. I just checked and the last three letters are indeed ATT. That means that most likely I cant have fw updates or OTA updates as they dont offer their fw online? Searched on the website yu gave me but there is no ATT carrier option

You're most welcome. Verizon is in the drop down menu and since they've merged with AT&T it should be the appropriate FW but it doesn't load after selecting it which reflects AT&T's ongoing efforts to block updates outside of it's proprietary platform. If you're unable to access AT&T's network inside the US the other options are downloading the FW on Samsung's Smartswitch app or acquiring it on ATT/Verizon website. Good luck!
I have the 6 pro unlocked bought from Google. I use it on Verizon. I found out that when I got the phone and put the Sim in that the November update was not downloaded and installed. I factory reset the device and did not insert the SIM and I got the update. I now have SD1A.210817.036 installed. I this the correct version? I understand there is a November update 037 now but I don't see that. Now I am concerned that when the December update comes out that I wont get that either. Does anyone here know if Google and Verizon have fixed this issue?
Thanks
We don't know because it's just too early to tell. Word is they stopped pushing the .037 OTA at all, although I don't know that from personal experience. I've got the unlocked P6P running on AT&T and I got all the OTAs almost immediately. The next OTA should be out next Monday, but I believe Verizon variants have often lagged at least a little when though the OTA is available directly from Google for all variants at the same time.
Also commonly, after several updates the Verizon version of the firmware gets merged into a single universal firmware.
Regardless of any of this, you can flash either the Verizon version of the OTA manually, getting it directly from Google's site. You may even be able to flash the non-Verizon OTA manually, but there's no reason to avoid the Verizon version since you're using it with Verizon.
With the Pixel 5, unlocked but using Verizon as my service provider: there was a 50-50 shot on some sort of delay on updates. I think it has to do with their mmWave 5G and other providers (US and international) either do not use mmWave; or aren't as proprietary as Verizon.
Is there any benefit to running the Verizon version on an unlocked pixel 6 pro?

The best answer is "maybe", leaning towards "probably".
For example, and probably a bad example but the only one I got. When I got my unlocked HTC 10 before I got the Pixel 1 in 2016, and I was still with Verizon at the time, I had no idea that I was going to have to jump through hoops to get Verizon's radio.img on my HTC 10, which was rooted so no big deal. Now maybe there was a whole Verizon firmware I could flash, but if I just wanted to use the regular unlocked HTC 10 firmware, I had to put the Verizon radio.img on there to even work on the network.
On the Pixels, I don't think it's ever been quite like that. I think you can use the regular firmware just fine on Verizon, but maybe, just maybe, it will work better with their proprietary bits that come with the Verizon version of the firmware.
Also, I know sometimes in the past that if you had the unlocked firmware on a device but used a Verizon SIM (or in other cases with some phones, an AT&T SIM, and probably applied to T-Mobile too), that you would then receive an OTA automatically to put you on their particular variant of the most recent firmware. So unless you disabled updates in Developer Options, you'd get the "proper" firmware for your usage anyway, and of course, being rooted is the ultimate method to avoid the proprietary variant of the firmware since OTAs will most likely refuse to even update a rooted device, although you should still turn automatic updates off since there's a chance it could instead soft-brick your device.

I have an unlocked p6 (not pro) that I got from Amazon which I am using on Verizon. When I first set it up without a sim card it got the 36 update OTA without a problem. I put in the sim card and didn't receive the 37 update long after it was released. Finally I tried an inactive Mint sim (t-mobile network) and got the update when I checked for a system update using the settings menu. It probably would have worked without a sim also.
Rumors are that there will be a December update so I will be checking then. If I don't get it I will try without a sim or with an inactive sim. But that will mean that automatic updates don't work for unlocked p6s on verizon.
I did finally sideload the .037.A1 which is the Verizon version so I will see if I start getting the OTA updates.
Thanks all

For clarification, if you didn't know (forgive me if you did), the Pixel 6/Pro will receive an update every single month from the time it came out until five years later (so ~ October 2026). Especially some of the later years they might only be security updates - not Android version updates, but they will come like clockwork I believe the first Monday of every month.
Personally i wouldn't use the vzw firmware as there are hardware differences between the two especially radio
