What's in the Device Status field?(Settings>About Device>Status)
If it says anything else than Official then you will need to reflash a stock ROM from Sammobile. (Same or newer ONLY!)

if that field is saying unofficial then the phone will deny all OTA updates. So if it's not showing up with a Official status i think it's not a big problem. anyways if you still want to check if you have updates go to Sammobile's Firmware section and put the model of your S7edge and then chose the version you have(Carrier branded or Unbranded based the location)

Why not stick with official OTA updates via Kies if you want your phone to be "standard"

Do you mean you want your phone STOCK with the latest firmware ??
Then read the stock roms post .
Stock Roms .and csc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
But if you mean the latest official firmware for your phone then the last post is correct update via KIES no update on KIES means you have the latest for your phone .

So,I bought a new s4 octa today.All is great ranging from the bright screen to the nice 22 gigs available.But I'm having some kind of problem.I don't get any updates via OTA,also I tried using KIES and it says I have non-Samsung device and that it has latest firmware.
The baseband version is i9500XXUAMDK and the build number is JDQ39.I9500XXUAMDK.
I don't have heating problems as I topped 40 Celsius with 32 in standby or just playing with it,but how do I update?

In what country do you live? Also install CPU Z from Play, that should give you info about the phone`s hard- and software. Non-Samsung device but still the latest software?

I'm so sorry,I was mistaken when saying that it's non-Samsung.It's recognized as GT-i9500 so no problem with recognition.I live in Romania.Are you sure that what I have is the latest software?If not,why don't I receive any updates?
EDIT: I used CPU-Z from the beginning,and I have 32-34 when just browsing or watching vids and it gets up to 40 in gaming.

The I9500 is not beeing officialy sold in Romania, the I9505 is. It is probably an imported device from another country bro. There is no Romanian I9500 rom available on Sammobile, only I9505 roms. The MDK is quite an old rom. You could flash the Russian I9500XXUBMG1 rom with Odin for instance. There aren`t many Euro roms available as far as i can see, the Russian SER is the only one next to the German MBC rom http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=17177. Check it on Sammobile yourself http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9500&pcode=SER#firmware. What was the language when the phone booted up the first time?

You flash official firmware in this case, so no. In what language did the phone boot up the first time, German, Russian or another language? BTW look in item 1 of my signature for how to use Odin.

I highly recommend that you find out more about your version before starting flashing other firmware. Look at the box, it should give you a hint. Also, find out the CSC (see in Kies, somewhere in the files). After you know your CSC, check sammobile and download your existing firmware just for backup so you can always flash it back to original if needed.
Then look if there is any newer firmware for your CSC. If not, you can flash a newer one for i9500 with a different country code.
If you're planning on rooting, you'll lose warranty, but can always turn back to stock if you need the warranty, triangle away and stock firmware will help.
However, if you root it, first thing you should make an EFS backup.
Edit: Oh wait, triangle away is not available at the moment for i9500... Forgot about that.

I found out that my i9500 is designed for South Africa(XFA).Now,when I look on sammobile,I see that the latest firmware for me is MDK(April) and that's the one I have.How the hell the latest firmware for South Africa is the April one when all the other countries have newer ones(from july and sometimes august)?!?

You can flash a newer firmware from another region, or you should consider the benefits (and the risks) of custom roms.
Hi,
I want to update my phone to Official Android Lollipop v5.
Can i install any other country's firmware on my device?
If yes then 'll this void my phone's warranty?
Can i get official updates in the future after upgrade*using other country's firmware?
Which firmware/update you suggest for my device?
If any problem occours then can i degrade back to previous version of android?
Here is my phone info.
Device: SM-G900H
Product ID: SM-G900HZDAPAK
PDA/Phone:*G900HXXU1ANG3
CSC: G900HOJV1ANG1
Thanks,
Try installing KIES3 and connecting your phone to the PC to check for updates
If none, grab a stock ROM for your model S5 from sammobile (No links allowed on XDA)
If the ROM is a stock Samsung ROM, it will NOT void your warranty so long as you use ODIN to flash it
Yes you can downgrade again by the same method
No idea about OTA updates, you'll likely end up with OTA updates for that countries ROMs
Any country ROM will work, but you might have issues with network, must be for your model S5

I'm on VNS-L31c432b401, and b403 and b405 are available in FF but not approved for install when I check with my IMEI. Anyone got any info on these newer builds and any idea why they are not approved?
Thanks...!
Because Huawei needs to approve them ..
Also , check without IMEI , if you see it's approved , I guess it should be available for you soon ?...
Thanks, I thought that once the firmware was available there were no further steps. I'll keep checking back and see if the firmwares change to "approved".

Hi everyone,
I brought this phone from a phone store (not official), and it's second hand. The problems are common, LAG.
And sometimes, when i start phone data, my SIM signal suddenly stopped…
And I found that this phone had been rooted before and unroot for being selling.
I knew knox had broken.
It's common ROM same as others but it was LAAAAG.
[SM-G935FD], my phone model.
[Android 6.0], my android .
I've tried to reformat and recovery mode wiped before. And it's useless.
Any suggestions everyone?

Update your phone dude it's on old android 6.0 .upgrade it to oreo 8.0 via Odin and that should fix your issue ,even tho it shouldn't lag like that on any android version.

Hi! Thanks for your reply!
But where should I get it? And does your "Oreo 8.0" belongs to official or Properties Oreo 8.0?

It's not my Oreo ,it's Samsung official firmware 8.0 Oreo . First learn how to flash something with Odin then download official firmware from sammobile or updato site. Put your phone model inside and start downloading
