Same. This may be a stupid question but does anybody know whether the phone needs to be unlocked to receive updates if flashing away from carrier firmware?

Ah OK - So the only differences between us currently is the original carrier (EE for me) and the fact that your phone was unlocked prior to flashing.
Strange though. I thought on the S7 I typically saw the OTAs before they made an appearance on sammobile.

It was lock to UK AT&T and unlocked with code.. But I don't know why is that a problem?
Since the firmware stated improve on wireless charging stability, anyone who is charging using wireless charger still encountered stop charging issue when temperature more 40°C?
Update: OK, just installed & try, still the same **** & Samsung didn't fixed it. I'm so disappointed.
Has anybody who's flashed from carrier to stock firmware been offered the OTA?

Hey everyone,
O2 released the official ICS for O2 Branded Galaxy S2 devices today for anyone who wishes to know. Not sure if this is the right section, so I am sorry if it is wrong.
I updated mine there now. Looks nice so far; but may need to flash it with a version without touchwiz; this is the first time I have hated touchwiz on a rom.
Regards,
T.
You got me all excited but it hasn't shown up on Kies for me.
LPxx update..
Just appeared in my Kies, I take it this is the firmware update LPxx ? Does anyone know if this will affect root (as mine is rooted) ?
thanks,
D

I bought it pretty recently from phones4u on contract with O2. So I'm pretty certain.
Could it be that they're staggering the updates so they don't have every single SGS2 user trying to download ICS at once?

You have an Unlocked version if bought from Phones4U. It is contract with O2, but still unlocked. When connected to KIES and it says "This is the latest version", underneath it will have the PDA, CSC code etc. It will end in XEU; this is unlocked. If it ends in O2U; it is O2 locked.

Yeah i am currently still on stock. We are lucky O2 made changes. Apparently the official 3 version has loads of bugs since they didnt alter anything from the original rom which samsung released.

Hi, I live in the UK I currently own a Samsung Galaxy S4 19505, I was hoping to receive the lollipop update but sadly I haven't got it both of my brothers which own the same device have gotten the update, Could I have not got it because I screwed something up when Un rooting?
Possibly. Especially if you and your brothers all use the same carrier. However, save yourself the hassle of waiting for an OTA update. There should be links in this forum to download the latest Lollipop ROM for the UK. You can flash it yourself and then be good. Better yet, you'll be back to official status again, at least until you root.

Unless you want your phone IMEI cloned, edit your post.
Until EE pushes an update, you should wait. Especially if the S4 is still SIM locked.

Alright thank you, No the S4 Isn't Sim locked
@nachashh: Ok, the fact your phone is unlocked changes things. I worked under the assumption that your phone was still SIM locked when I told you to hold off. If your phone is unlocked you have no restrictions on what ROM you can install. So you actually can install one of the unbranded Android 5.0.1 ROMs we have here and should have no ill effects from doing so. Personally, since you are in the UK, the BTU ROM is your best choice.

Even with a SIM lock you can still install any rom.
You can, but I've seen others recommend against it because of carrier modifications, especially on sammobile. Better to play it safe.

Is this true? AT&T's OTA for the S7 (Flat) is the same version that I got from the unreleased 7.0 thread?
I bricked my phone trying to go back to PK1, AT&T is sending a warranty replacement but my Wife's phone has this update too. Had I known I wouldn't have even touched it!
So in other words I should be able to receive any future OTA updates right? I should just leave my wife's phone alone?
I appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Hi,
If you sideloaded QA4 (or any build) you must Odin back to APk1 and then you can take the att over the air update. Otherwise, it will always say that you are up to date when you check on your phone.

I've searched through all the threads but none answered my question. I have an S8+ with XEU/XEU/VOD and have applied for the beta.
Am I even eligible for the update/will I get it?
In recovery and the samsung info app it says that my CSC is XEU, but there is still the VOD at the end...
SOLVED: If you are not getting the Oreo update but you have registered for beta, CLEAN flash either August or September firmware (through ODIN, no KNOX tripping, both available on sammobile) and the Oreo 8.0 update will be waiting for you straight away!

I was on T-Mobile but switched to MetroPCS two days ago. (Same network)
It's true... I am on Sprint with G995U1 and I am currently downloading a 1354.14MB update.
I had to check for it, but it found it and downloaded it. My phone is unlocked. Update applied without issues.
Loving finally having the auto fill API.
Just checked my software updates for the first time in weeks and there it was! Unfortunately they're working on our electrical system, so I won't be able to download it until WiFi is back up, but it'll give me time to back things up.
Factory unlocked running on T-Mobile
