I've read that since I have an AT&T Note 3, I would receive updates even tho I'm on cricket. This did not happen for me. I ODINd 4.4.2, and tried to get it to update OTA to 4.4.4 by changing the date forward. It wouldn't update. So on cricket, the N900A DOES NOT receive OTAs (neither has ANY AT&T device I have used on cricket or even on prepaid AT&T service on my tablets)). I got to lollipop via @Walter.White method however so that is not a big deal for me. Just letting other users know.
This is also the case for me while i have this unit on Tmobile.

It Worked
I have been running 5.0 rooted for like a week and a half. I miss xposed. Lollipop battery life is poor when compared to my old 4.4.2 with xposed. The battery stats screen is also crappy, I don't care how much battery is left, I want to know how much has been used for how long. I guess as far as stock rom goes it seemed pretty normal but it is hard to tell as I have a 10,000 Mah zero lemon battery. Lollipop does seem to run nice. I had some issues with google play I think, but they settled after being connected to the internet for awhile. I think there are some things that stuck from xsposed like my network says HOME (I had changed carrier label via Wanam) and also my core cpu min and max frequencies I had set with performance profile?. No frills cpu says that my minimum cpu speed is 1.2 Ghz when I deny root. Anyway I Just decided to downgrade....... 4.4.2 and exposed.
I ran nc2 flasher.
I RESTORED THE BACKUP OF SYSTEM AND DATA THAT I MADE PRIOR TO UPGRADE TO 5.0!
I wiped dalvik and cache? (The two that are least important)
Reboot!
Worked for me
Hoping to try some MOGA......

I'm pretty sure you have to have an AT&T sim card in the phone for it to actually update via OTA, not just an AT&T variant of the phone.

I have found this to be partially true. I have an AT&T sim in my tablet, but it's prepaid and it also isn't receiving updates. So basically, not only does it have to be an AT&T sim, it also has to be postpaid service.

Thanks for the clarification. When I made the statement, I was referring to post-paid service, but I didn't even think about Pre-paid. It's nice to know since I'm thinking about getting my phone unlocked.
Yes, I think it's bull. It doesn't cost anything to them for a direct link off the web. Cricket customers should be able to get updates online. HTC provides up- date links if you're not OTA able
Kies should upgrade the phone, as should a place like best buy..it really isn't a big deal

You need an AT&T sim it doesn't have to be activated. Im using mine on cricket and got my latest OTA by putting my deactivated AT&T sim and using my wifi to download. I did have to check twice and reboot once to trigger the update. If you change the time in settings up a day you don't have to wait 24hrs to recheck for update.

I have an unlocked AT&T S7 Edge and use it both on Rogers and AT&T, I simply change the SIM depending on where I am. The updates still come from AT&T regardless of where I check for them.

Fair enough.
You still get your updates when you have the AT&T sim in the phone.
I do not have AT&T service at all and am totally unable to get any updates.

I am in Canada with my Rogers sim installed and received the latest update from AT&T on Friday last week. I have received multiple updates from AT&T when in Canada with my Rogers sim installed since getting this phone.

I have been unable to get even one update on 4 phones with a Cricket Wireless SIM in.
I dont understand it, AT&T Owns Cricket, you would think it should work without any issues.
I have a very interesting question regarding on using tee AT&T variant of this phone on the T-Mobile network. As you may have noticed, AT&T is finally offering Wi-Fi Calling on their network, and this phone is compatible. My question is:
Does the T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling work on the AT&T variant of this phone?
Does the AT&T Wi-Fi calling work on the T-Mobile variant of this phone?
If you flash the U firmware, you'll get wifi calling, VoLTE, and OTA updates. There is a thread in one of the other AT&T forums that has instructions.

You could also go another route and flash the t-mobile firmware on the at&t variant, it works quite well and is the equivalent of the U firmware with t-mobile account management, voice mail, and features.
I have s7edge at&t ..it don't have any volte option
I want to enable volte option. On my mobile
If i flash sm-935U on my at&t will it activate VOLTE OPTION
If you switched to TMobile just ODIN the Tmobile Firmware and you will get the updates OTA.
how do i flash the tmboile firmware to my at&t s7 edge.. i have a att s7 edge and want to flash tmobile firmware to it and use on tmobile with wifi calling and the works.....any links with instructions and firmware. thanks

Yeah you do, its under Connections/Mobile Networks/Mobile Data its called Enhanced LTE services....I actually shut mine off and its saving quite a bit of battery it seems and I havent even noticed a difference in phone call quality, seems kind of useless
you need to get or buy a Gophone simcard or buy a gophone (comes with Gophone simcard), just activate the gophone simcard, you dont need to pay money on it. i never able to get att software update using Cricket simcard but when i put a activated gophone simcard (no need to pay money on it), it lets me update to the latest att firmware ! funny, how gophone and cricket are owned by parent company att but gophone lets me update and cricket can NOT.
I am on 930U and trying to use odin flash back to stock 930V. But I got a SW REV check fail. The phone is bricked now. It seems that my current version is higher so cannot use the low version firmware I have now. I am wondering if anyone has the latest 930V or 930U firmware or any solution? Thanks!

I realize this post is a number of years old, but is this site still a trusted site to pull down latest versions of stock images? I'm not seeing a whole lot of other advise as to where to get the most recent image for the s7.
Yes I would think that it still is. Just make sure you have all the pieces you need to fill into Odin. Also consider flashing your device to 930U firmware. It's the unbranded one that unlocks all bands for any US based carrier. I turned my 930V into a U at the time to use on an MVNO network that was provisioned for TMobile or att a d it worked perfectly.

Thank you so much for your response! Here's my dilemma. When I bought the phone as a referb, it came with 930U. The only thing I really missed at the time was the visual voicemail app, but I found that samsung had a similar in their app store, so no big deal. However, now I'm getting emails from Verizon about them turning off the 3g band at the end of the year. The phones that would be affected are 3g obviously, but also the 4g phones without HD voice capability; the more I dug into it, I found that the 2 things you don't get with U are the vm app and verizon hd calling. I know that the phone is capable of it, as my wife has the same exact model, but with the 930V and the settings are right there.. So I guess this leads me to two more questions:
If I leave it as is, will is still work after they shut down the 3g towers?
The 930V receives OTA updates occasionally. If I keep it at 930U, how do I get the latest security updates?

Sadly you won't
Once you flash the latest firmware
You won't get occasional updates
Samsung has cut support for security updates since 2020

Gotta flash the Verizon firmware
G935T unlocked-running at&t firmware on att network. Can't get wi-fi calling working!
Sure would like some help from the brilliant minds on this board....
I bought an unlocked G935T a few months ago and have been using it on At&t (with the G935T firmware) for the last few months.
Recently, I needed to use wi-fi calling. Couldn't get it to work on TMo firmware so last night I flashed G935A firmware one it (QF3)
Firmware is working fine - everything seems to be working EXCEPT wi-fi calling. Damn you, AT&T!
I can use one of the free VOIP apps like Google Voice, of course, but when I call out I need to be able to use my cell phone number and really don't want to have to forward calls to GV every time I go into this particular building that doesn't have any cell reception.
Chatting with support this morning, they said it can't be done. I don't understand - if the hardware is the same across all US Variants, then why can't At&t firmware enable this feature? What am I missing??? GRRRRR

You should be able to do it, because I'm doing the opposite. I have a SM-G935A AT&T phone running a T-Mobile firmware and SIM. I'm capable of doing wifi calling/sms etc. Even though my S7 Edge is basically a T-mobile one, when I login to my TMO account it shows the phone not a TMO - due to the IMEI #. I bet the AT&T system doesn't recognize the phone as one of theirs and are unable to activate this feature.
Yeah, I went into the AT&T store today and they confirmed. It cannot be done. Well, it CAN be done, but they aren't willing to do it.

Nope, I have 2 non-tmobile phones running TMO firmware and they work like charm.
If I buy used T-Mobile can I Flash AT&T firmware on it so I will have AT&T Enhanced Messaging and Wifi Calling Just as if it was an ATT phone????? Thanks
If the phone is network unlocked in theory the sim it sees when you first boot from setup it should then download all the carrier software and features. There is only one carrier U firmware so there isn't specific AT&T, T-Mobile. Now if AT&T tracks their IMEI's that were meant to be on their network then that may be where this all falls apart and some features may not come over then.
At least that is how it has worked in the past. Someone else feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

I saw a report on the forums here where someone flashed the att userdata and wiped and all of the carrier features worked.
I know on the 9/9+, even with the BOYD firmware, or flashing att bloat would not make a NON-ATT purchased device have advanced messaging /wifi calling / VoLTE. The trick was to activate that stuff on an att branded phone and then swap the sim.
It was very much a YMMV.
Similar issue here. My problem is i bought a s10 plus AT&T and it was supposed to be unlocked, however it wasn't the case. Mine is still AT&T locked and when i called them about my issue they said i would have to get service with them for a few months then i could end the service by paying the cancellation fee. I could then unlock the device. They also told me that my phone has an unpaid balance that would have to be paid prior to starting service. I have tried to contact the seller but to no avail. Anyways, my question is can I flash T-Mobile stock firmware to this phone and use it on T-Mobile?
