Ok so I switched my verizon S5 from Verizon to Straight talk so now if I go to look for an update in settings it tells me I am up today and I am on 4.4.4 so I know i am not up to date. How can I go about getting it updated to lollipop? what files do I need and all that?

I have a verizon sm-900v note3
but I dont live in the states , it says my phone is unlocked when I start it
but I cant update it via the device it self
I cant use other features like hotspot
I was wondering if it is possible to use odein to update my phone to a non-verizon
version of android
and would that make the verizon specific features go away ?
If yes, how ?
Or is is it only possible to update it to verizon specific operating system
and I never updated my device, still running on 4.3
I apologies, but I am new to android in general and to smart phones
thank you

4.3
haven't updated the device to 4.4
You cant bootloader is locked. But you can maybe find some apps that workaround your issues you can try to see if xposed offers something to help. You may aso be able to install a custom rom on it if you can get root. You can also check app store maybe an app can solve some of you probems.

No...the Verizon version of the Note 3 will not take any other carrier's operating system.
The "unlocked" means SIM unlocked and you can use any carrier's SIM in it.

Hello so here is my situation, i am on cricket wireless with an unlocked lg g2 D800 from ATT. On the 14th ATT pushed out 5.0.2 to the D800 but i have not yet received an alert for it, and when i check my phone it says i am up to date. I also tried installing the LG PC suite software on my PC and when checking for an update there it also says there are no updates for my phone.
Now where do i go from here? I was under the impression when i went to cricket that as long as ATT sent out OS upgrades OTA i would be getting them on cricket, is this not correct? I really want lollipop for the features and aesthetics where do you guys suggest i do at this point, its also kind of lame that everytime i check for a update my phone puts a 24 hour cooldown before i can do it again can i get around this somehow in settings? (i couldnt find anything)
Any info is very much appreciated, i love my G2 but lollipop would make it that much better!
No one?
At the very least can someone let me know how to bypass the 24 hour cooldown LG put on the phone for checking for updates?
All,
Just received my wife's new Samsung Galaxy S5 today. The phone is on the Sprint network and is a model number SM-G900P. I have not yet activated the phone as I intend to first update it, root it (but stay with the stock ROM), and copy data.
There are lots of good guides for rooting the phone (I have done this previously with previous phones) and for copying apps/user settings.
My question is this: The phone is currently running KitKat 4.4.4. Ideally, the first thing I should do us update the phone to Lollipop 5.1.1, but I have not found a guide for doing this. Can you point me to one? If not, should I simply get the phone working and worry about updating the OS at a later date? Since I have Titanium backup pro, if I need to wipe the phone and reinstall everything, that wouldn't be too painful...
My new phone, a Galaxy S4 Note also arrived today and is also on the Sprint network. I have the exact same questions regarding it.
Thank you.
I'm contemplating purchasing a new phone. I found a refurbished S4 for $75 and want to buy it, but I need at least 4.4.4 so I can play Pokemon GO. Does anyone know if it can get to 4.4.4 or higher? Also, if so, does it require rooting?
I also read that it's up to the cell phone carriers to allow a higher firmware, so if it's a case of the carrier, does Net10 allow you to get to 4.4.4 or higher?
Which variant of the S4 is it? if it's the international, samsung has 5.1.1 released so you won't have to root it.
you can always root it if the carrier hasn't updated it. which I doubt

It's not your carrier that matters, it's the carrier which the phone was purchased from that matters.
I actually purchased the S5, T-Mobile is the original carrier, and they have Marshmallow available, however, for whatever reason, I can't get it downloaded. I'm using Net10 as the wireless provider, but when I search for updates via wifi or 4G, it says there are none available (I'm currently on 4.4.2). Any clue what to do? On the phone with T-Mobile now but god knows if they're competent enough to help me.

These are the S4 forums, mate.
You started the thread mentioning something about an S4, which now turned into an S5 somehow.
And you can always download the firmware and flash it manually. Or update with Kies.

Enter download mode and read off the model number of the S5. If it says anything other than SM-G900T, then that is why you are having issues with the download. Keep in mind that there are Straight Talk and Net10 versions of the S5 available. Both are on 4.4.2 and no upgrades are available other than by installing a custom ROM.
Sorry, I didn't know this was strictly S4. I'm a bit unobservant. But for those who may randomly be brought to this page via Google. I did the update via Samsung Switch for the PC. Google it, should be the first link. Apologies to all for the mixup.
I got the update this morning on my S8+ So check your Software Update.
https://9to5google.com/2019/03/29/a...s8-note-8-android-pie-update-rolling-out-now/
Got the new one UI pie update on my S8+ this morning. Finally happening and sooner than I thought AT&T would push the update. Now onto learning some new settings.
I am not seeing any OTA update, I think its because I am on beta version of android pie. Can any one point me how to get back to regular updates from beta ??
I have the SM-G955U, I'm with cricket but its an At&t phone. I don;t think I'm going to get the update.
i live out of usa and have s8 plus g955u att unlocked on oreo - how can i update cuz i cant get it ota ? can anybody help?
Nope
I still haven't gotten the update on my AT&T S8+. I'm not sure what's going on but every time I go to check for the update it just says, "Current software is up to date". I even went as far as backing up my data and doing a complete factory restore and checking for the update and got the same thing. I know there have been some posts on here regarding using ODIN and using the Sprint or T-Mobile versions to update. Is this still the best option and are there any known issues by doing this?
Thanks guys!
I still haven't got the update on my ATT Samsung S8+ Unlocked. I am from the PH. Is there any way to force update the software?
