Greetings,
I bought a refurbed Fold 3 and love it!
However, it is stuck on Android 12 (Last security update is Sept 26, 2022) and will not update.
Here are some details:
It boots up with an ATT logo
I use US Mobile's Verizon plan
Every time I try and update, I get the following message: "Software Update Interrupted."
Some more details:
CSC F926UOYN2DV14
CP F926USQS2DV14
MODEL SM-F926U/DS
I was thinking of using Odin to manually update the phone, but I don't know what firmware to use.
So, I was hoping I could get some guidance:
Any ideas on why it won't update?
If I use Odin, what firmware should I install?
Thanks for your help!!!!
Problem solved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I took out my US Mobile sim card and thew in an old T-Mobile sim card and it updated the phone to the current version.
I then rebooted and inserted my US Mobile card and it works!!!!
Weird... but it worked.

I have an unlocked Verizon note 4 on ATT network everything works fine except when I try to update it....What can I do about it? Do I call Verizon or ATT? I also wiped the phone and still nothing.
I cant post the picture of the error message I'm getting but it says: Service unavailable. Software update is temporarily unavailable. Try again later.
Android version is 5.0.1
Build number is LRX22C.N910VVRU1BOAF

Since you aren't on Verizon's network you can't take OTA updates. But you can flash with Odin
Use the original sim if you have it.
I had the same problem because I was using a nextplus go sim card. Luckily I had my original sim that came with the phone. I just swapped it back in and updated over wifi from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1. It worked perfectly.

I don't that means but I'll figure something out...
Not really technical when it comes to cell phones.
Hi all
purchased a phone from an online store in AUS which claimed to be a sm-n910F note 4 but had hacked software, after some help from this site it was identified as being an Verizon SM-910V in cognito, long story short flashed it with original sm-n910V software, when it starts its says Verizon and works fine on the Australian network. I plugged it into KIES and upgraded to Marshmallow firmware but I am one of the 900 Million phones that has the QUALCOMM vulnerability and I want to patch it when the security patch is released in september but when I go to use the software update on the phone it says this service is temporarily unavailable assuming because its looking for the Verizon network and I am on virgin residing in Australia. When I go into KIES it tells me there is a firmware upgrade but its trying to install the full Marshmallow firmware again. Anybody know of a way to trick the phone into thinking its on the Verizon network so it will download updates or could I simply grab the security download when its released and install directly to the phone via ODEN. Lesson never buy a phone that's coming from over seas its a real headache if you end up with something dodgy, thanks to anybody who can offer advice

I bought my friend a Honor 8 pro 3 months ago and he didnt get any updates since then (not even one).
I have read about the EMUI 8 that it started rolling out for some honor 8 pro devices and Im concerned that it wont get the update and I will have to update it manually or with the huawei firmware finder app (it still has july security patches).
Maybe it has a vendor rom or maybe this specific model didnt get small updates and will soon get the Oreo update.
Can someone please help/give an advice?
I had the same problem for several months. My phone is an EU phone and I use it with a Vodafone UK SIM. For months and months I did not get any update. Finally I removed my SIM card and checked for updates and at first try the phone got updated to B187.
I see that you have the C432 variant, same as me, so perhaps you can try and do the same. Remove your SIM card and try.
PS: Obviously you will need a wi-fi connection
Same variant here, I'm on B185 (September security patch)

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can answer a few questions before I flash my phone (or waste my time doing so).
I'm using a Verizon Branded Note 10+ (N975U). However, it's carrier unlocked and being used on Total Wireless (a Verizon MVNO - subsidiary of TracFone).
I'm not getting OTA updates because I'm no longer on "real" verizon service. I verified this by waiting 5 weeks for the Android 10 update, and then popped in a friends VZW SIM and got the update instantly. I'm now behind again (Verizon dropped their most recent update over a month ago w/Jan security patch) and receiving "no update available" using the update firmware option in settings.
Additionally, my total wireless SIM can't populate an APN, and I've had nothing but problems with my data as a result. I'm assuming this is because of the VZW CSC, but not sure.
I'm thinking of flashing to the most current U1 firmware, and hoping/assuming this will resolve my problems. Wondering if anyone has any feedback.
If I do it, should I flash the VZW CSC again, or use the TFN CSC for Tracfone, or XAA for default? Do I need to hard reset? Official or Modded Odin? Etc.. Any help would be appreciated.
A little further info: If I put an AT&T SIM card into my phone, it will populate the AT&T APN from the SIM card, so I'm assuming my APN issue is that Total Wireless still uses the VZW CSC, and there's a conflict that Verizon firmware overrides the APN setup aspect. However, my Total Wireless SIM card works perfectly fine and populates the APN on my Unlocked S9+. This is a big part of what makes me think going to U1 will help my issues.
Yes flash the U1, you won't have any issues and will be even better on total wireless. I did the same for MetroPCS

Did it work?
What CSC works for the SM-N975U on Total Wireless?
Thanks in advance!
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.
