G950W won't let me update my firmware??? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I tried OTA update and it gets to 32% and fails without error code or anything. Tried smart switch and it gets stuck on 0%. Not sure what else to do...

what is your current firmware, and what is the new version.

I think Yes, recieved OTA yesterday N910CXXS2CPB3/N910CSEB2COJ2/N910CXXU1COJ5 but am afraid running it Will wait little bit for more info about this update, cause heard rummors about s7 locked bootloader with no options to flash custom recovery.

N910H OTA update fails to install

Hi guys, I'm having trouble updating my N910H. I'm almost a newbie, so please take that into account.
I have a Note 4 N910H with TTT as its original region for updates. Since that region barely receives any OTA updates, I installled the stock firmware 5.1.1 from some other region, RSU if I remember correctly, might be other though.
I received an OTA for my phone, but it fails to install. After the instalation begins, it will stop at 32% and then will reboot the phone, asking me to send a report to Samsung and so on. The OTA update version is N910HXXU2CPB2/N910HOJV2CPB1/N910HXXU1COJ2
A message tells me to try updating through Smart Switch, but once I connect the phone via USB, SS will show my current OJ4 (TTT) as its lastest firmware available.
So, this is where I stand now.
Please give me a hand with this. I appreciate your help in advance.
I'm unable to post the screenshots due to insufficient numbers of post.
Well the only suggestion I could give you is download the latest ROM for your model (H version) from sammobile.com and then flash it with Odin.
Something must have changed in system level in your ROM, that's why the OTA is failing. No big deal anyway.

not getting OTA update

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 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.

Try updating trough the Smart Switch software from Samsung... It will automatically flash the latest version of stock. If it is stull on the same version it means that the update hasn't came for your region

Just try with SS no matter if it shows updates or not. If it doesn't, try Odin.

My phone also stuck at G950USQU5CRK1, SW ver:XAA/XAA/ATT
Sammobile has deleted ATT Frimware for G950 but I don't why. Today will be try to update "S5CRL1" from frimware.science
If your phone reads xaa/xaa its flashed to u1 fw. Flash back to att then you should get updates.
