A3 2016 cannot check for update?! - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Recently I checked for sw update on my new a3 2016 phone and it found some new security updates and it went fine with update.After few days I checked again and it found nothing.Last time I successfuly checked was 11.6.2016 and since then I can no longer check for updates.If I touch the option for manually update check nothing happens.I already tried as suggested by google to change another sim or to wipe cache partition but none of them works.I do not want to factory reset.Any other solution to this problem?I also tried to use kies but its not supported!!??
Any help would be appriciated.Thanks in advance.

Are you rooted?
Supersu will block the security update as it will brick your device otherwise.

So if I was rooted and updated it would brick my phone?Well I did not root but the problem is still there.

When u rooted then u dont become a ota,so i dont think u can be have a brick and when its a softbrick.

Not referring to OTA's. I am referring to security policy updates.
Samsung have been pushing these lately which can soft brick a rooted device.

Oh,ok,i didnt know this,then im sorry.

Any solution to this problem I am facing??

But... if you flash stock firmware, u will lose data, too, so make a backup with twrp and put it in your PC/OTG pendrive/SD

I think you can solve this problem wipe data and cache from recovery but you will lost your data! so you can try to flash the last firmware of your stock rom via odin maybe it will solve!
EDIT: i didn't read you answer "i don't woant to reset my phone" so flash your stock rom i don't think it reset the phone just flashing the stock rom!

[Q] newbie question ! customer recovery for 4.4.2?

Hey guys,
I know this is kind of answered in alot of different places but nothing is guiding me to the correct files, just want to be safe and figured this was the best place to make sure i hit the bullseye.
Just updated to poland 4.4.2 kitkat and was looking to install a customer recovery so i could grab the latest version of xnote and a few other goodies. Could someone please guide me to a download section/link for cwm? or maybe twrp? which ever would work easiest

Yes reset it with Odin, you have n900 ? try Russian firmware, after successfully reset make a factory reset from recovery, than root and flash custom recovery
would twrp 2.6.3.7 work on 4.4?

A300FU 5.0.2 ROM as flashable zip?

Hi there,
Is there a way to flash any kind of working 5.0.2 ROM on my A300FU without ODIN? Somehow I managed to erase the OS without backing it up first.. (I know.. i know...)
I don't want to reflash the whole thing again... Root, install TWRP and so on...
Thanks a lot!
Never mind that... An admin can delete this thread.
Reflashed latest Lollipop from Sammobile, re-rooted, and also updated TWRP to latest version.
Let the CM12.1 come!

Since its 910C, it should be easy.
But remember, there is always a risk of bricking the phone.
Sh*its happens sometime.

There is a good chance that autoroot for 5.1.1 will works for 6.0.1
It happens with autoroot for 910H.
Or, you can just flash twrp using odin, flash bootloader using odin, and this rom using twrp.

Root installed but not active.

Hello everyone.
My phone did a self factory reset 2 weeks ago, and root was still there, but unsuable (if i accept or refuse, it will spam the pop up and will not do anything)
I flashed CF with Odin to root it again, but was stuck on samsung logo, even after 30min, so I removed battery.
After this, I'm kinda stuck. My internal storage (or the entire phone?) is on read-only, and I can't restorecon via adb because I don't have root permissions.
Should I flash this firmware on my phone to make it back to default? (root removed, internal storage still available and data not wiped)
Is there another solution?
Thanks !
If your phone was running a stock ROM, flashing the same stock ROM with Odin should leave the data intact.

I mentionned this ROM because it's the one (same PDA and CSC) that is on my phone. But will flashing this be able to remove the root?
Thank you !
Yes, flashing a stock ROM will remove root.

I've smashed that thanks button, will flash the ROM on my phone and will come back for updates.
Quick update : flashing the ROM solved my problems with internal storage locked and root.
But I flashed the CF again, and it did the same problem.
Is it so old that there's no method to root a Note 3 4.4.2?
I managed to do it a long time ago, but don't remember what I've used.
Any help for that?
