I recently downgraded my phone, and am wanting to get it back updated to 7.8, but the Mango update is failing because it doesn't have the 40200.661 firmware for my TELUS Surround. Does anyone know of the windows update link so I can download and install it?
Note that I have been using Zune to update my phone.
Thanks!
EDIT - Found an older Firmware - 15204.502, which is newer than the one on my phone (10402.661), however this isn't for TELUS (661). If anyone has this TELUS firmware, I'd appreciate it as well.
Hi
Picked up an S5 after years of iPhones, Which i bought from the three store in the UK.
After installing a few apps i started to get error 24 installing netflix. I didnt fancy doing a factory reset so i routed my phone to use a root browser to remove the temp files which resolved my issue (but of course i still had to do a factory reset) However i didn't realise that android confirms if its official or not and then doesn't receive OTA updates.
I'm not much into messing with releases these days so i downloaded the stock UK firmware (NCE) from sammobile and it now says official after flashing it.
However i notice that there is an OTA update out today (NC2) which i'm not getting when i check for updates (the message says latest update installed).
Is this simply a case of the update not having rolled out to everyone yet or does the update checker use the serial number of my phone to check that it should be on the H3G UK firmware rather than the stock UK firmware? Kies also states the firmware is up to date.
Thanks for any advice

Rather than waiting for ota would I just be as well flashing the new stock uk firmware through Odin?
Hi,
Recently, I used ODIN to return to Stock ROM. But, since then I am not getting OTA updates.
Once I used Smart Switch app to update software but I don't want to do it all the time.
Can someone please help? Thanks.
Tanay
Any help would be highly appreciated !!
Maybe just flash a firmware that receives OTAs constantly, like UK BTU.
Since you know how to use Odin. Flash the XEF firmware. It's the best with receiving monthly updates.
is there a way a phone can lose its ability to receive OTA updates.
Smart Switch shows new update, but not getting OTA.
Got the software update done from service center, but still no OTA when available.
Every time Smart Switch downloads around 2 GB of data which is very time consuming in India, I am not sure what is the best way to get my OTA updates back.
Someone please help.... Thanks.

something was changed in the kernal or you have applied a custom kernal. causing the phone to believe it has been modified
modified phones will not receive OTA updates you need to flash them manually.
What about the CSC? maybe you flashed wrong csc.. Or have multiple csc.

This could be possible.
I tried BTU beta ROM for Nougat and then reverted back.
But, current status shows official.
After manual update, Kernel version is changed to latest.
Please help, how can I correct my phone's settings. I have attached, my phone's software info page.

Currently you have the latest update for your phone.
but you can try : cleaning the cache.
if the problem persists, you may have to make a back up of your data and phone numbers and do a full factory reset, that should return your phone completely back to stock.

Thanks. But I tried clearing cache and factory reset already a few times, but that didn't help.
Also, there is another update available to my ROM, but not getting option over OTA. But, showing the update via Smart Switch.
Is there any way I can put correct Kernel or CSC to my phone? or, any other way to overcome my situation. Thanks.
I'm all stock and my android security patch is of 1 November 2016.. You're on the latest update.
A few things which I did recently might have caused my problem.
01) I was running at Stock ROM and getting OTA updates
02) I installed Nougat Beta BTU ROM
03) Registered myself to get OTA updates
04) But, didn't get OTA updates, returned to Stock ROM via Odin
05) I got updated to latest software by OTA updates
06) Again, I installed Nougat Beta BTU ROM, deregistered & registered again and got beta OTA updates
07) After a few days, returned back to Stock ROM
08) Since then, I am not getting OTA updates.
It seems, I am registered to get BTU OTA updates and lost my OTA update eligibility here (India)
Now, I will install Nougat Beta BTU ROM again and will deregister myself from there. Hope that way, I will get my OTA updates here in India.
I will keep you all updated. Thanks.

i am facing this issue so i installed Beta firmware and de-registered from beta program then installed Stock Rom now i am getting OTA
I am also facing same issue.... Any method to de-register from Beta without installing Beta firmware?
I tried by installing Beta registration apk... But it doesnt works.

Everyone has done that so far. I am not aware of any alternate method.
So the second BTU Nougat update was released on 6th Feb. I flashed the first BTU Nougat at the start of the month using Odin (from Sammobile site, flashed AP and CSC files), cache reset, 2 factory data resets later, and now my CSC shows BTU in the recovery boot screen, yet even today (17th Feb) I'm still not getting the OTA update for the second Nougat.
Manual software update screen tells me I'm up to date!
"The latest updates have already been installed.
Current version: G935FXXU1DPLT/G935FOXA1DPLT/G935FXXU1PBJE"
Yet the latest version is: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/122404/G935FXXU1DQB3_G935FOXA1DQB1_BTU/
PDA G935FXXU1DQB3
CSC G935FOXA1DQB1
Anyone had similar issues? I know they're both still Android 7.0 but surely the later build should be detected for OTA updates? I will probably eventually give up and flash the latest, but the whole reason for the 2 factory resets at the start of the month was to make sure the BTU CSC applies so that I can get OTA updates from now on and not have to bother with flashing for every single update going forward... Don't particularly want to revert to the bloatware-filled branded version the phone came with... They're still 'testing' Nougat anyway, release date will be 'soon', and has been 'soon' for weeks now... Hence my BTU flash.

If you're registered for the BETA you will not receive any OTA updates other than those that are BETA updates. You would need to deregister.
Hey all. I am in the US but bought international S7Edge when it came out. I dont know what firmware it had I think it was some italian one maybe. Then i rooted and started using custom roms. Then when nougat officially came out for S7Edge i un-rooted and went back to 100% stock using i think Vodafone 7.0 firmware. I think because i rooted i have a negative test response from Knox which i think stops me from getting OTA updates. It shows in software info that my OS version has security patch only from January 2017 so I am clearly not on latest firmware even though OTA says I am on latest.
Is there a site with a database of all firmwares out for the S7Edge international variant So i can find the latest and flash it to my phone since OTA wont get the latest.
samsmobile has the latest.
Yoiu still have an issue with your kernal as phone still thinks you have custom rom. Tripped knox on stock firmware will not stop OTA from downloading.
