Can't do OTA update to 4BQG1 after reverting back to stock - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

Hello all,
My phone downloaded but did not install the 4BQG1 security update via OTA. Since my phone was already rooted, I thought it would be best to revert back to stock firmware with Odin, which I did. I reverted back to firmware build QE1 without incident. Did not have any problems. However, when I tried to manually update the phone to latest security update, G930AUCU4BQG1, it says I have current software, which I obviously don't.
What should I do? Thanks in advance for your help.

Updated to latest FW, phone still trying to download update?

Hi all,
I updated my phone using the Motorola update manager, but my phone still prompted to download the latest update - I clicked yes, and WIFI only, but it just fails and comes up with an error message and a notification I can't remove. Does anyone know of a way to 'cancel' the update? Or am I stuck with this annoying notification and pop ups?
Thanks for any help
I have the same exact problem...I did the update via sbf... weird..
X3, same problem lol. On wifi it says update not available then says its currently downloading an update but does nothing
Well, then you know exactly what the problem is already.... if you SBF update, you aren't OTA updating, and the phone probably asked you to update OTA and you went ahead and flashed over it. I did that on my phone on Sunday, and had to flash back to 4.1.26 in order to OTA all the way up to 4.1.83, via 4.1.57 first. Follow the steps in order like you should and you won't have any issues - my phone works just fine on 4.1.83 after OTA updating it twice, and rooting it with GingerBreak!
Thanks for the responses guys.
If anyone finds a way of removing this problem without having to flash back and then upgrade again, please share the info!
Cheers.
I've installed gingerblur so the OTA route doesn't work (it gives me this ! mark and did nothing), so I have to use sbf method....I guess I could sbf it to 1.2.6 and then OTA it, but I suspect many of the system changes I made will be gone.

Update unavailable/not working

To start I rooted with Kingo but still stock otherwise. Then settings/about phone/software update and no luck. So I flashed the stock image and pit file so I'm back to no root and full stock. Go back to settings/about/software update and still says (update unavailable) not (no update available) or running latest version. It's an error saying my updater isn't working. I'm on MJ7 and wanting to update to MJE the latest version. Can anyone help? I've tried Samsung Kies and Verizon repair/update on my PC and still no profit. I'm want to update and run the cleanrom 1.5.....
Okay well update took through Verizon update/repair on PC finally. First off my signal went from -98 to -92.... so that doesn't suck. 2nd) upon re rooting with KingoApp when I boot/reboot I do not get the pesky custom logo and I'm on stock room with no wanam/exposed.
3rdly) I went to settings/about/software update and it now works and says my phone is running current. Now to flash cleanrom 1.5 and I'm done. Thanks for looking!

[Q] No wifi after stock rom install and factory reset Rogerss

I was rooted on 4.2.2 with Rogers but wanted to update to 4.4.2 and didnt really use the root anyway. So i installed back the stock rom and resetted to factory. But now wifi wont turn on at all. I ran the softaware update and im still on 4.2.2 and it says I have the latest version available but i know rogers released 4.4.2 in march 2014...
Anyway, which way should i go to get everything working again?
Thanks
I don't know if anyone has explained why this happens, but sometimes the modem firmware doesn't completely "take", leaving parts not working correctly. Reflashing the modem usually corrects this. In your case, where you want to upgrade to the latest firmware, you should download it from sammobile.com and flash it through Odin. Not only will you not have to worry about a software update, but installing the updated ROM through Odin should correct your WiFi issue as a new modem will be flashed with the firmware.
downloading now, i'll report back
fixed thanks a lot

"Software status: Modified" and the OTA updates...

Hi all,
I was running my stock 5.1.1 (LPD23.118-6.1) rom rooted for a long time and wasn't able to receive OTA updates due to the obvious reason about rooting and etc. My recovery wasn't changed. So, I saw the thread about that "flashable zips" about 6.0 roms and decided to test it. Due to some crashes and forced closes, I decided to back to my previous backup of rooted 5.1.1 stock rom. But now I want to have my phone stock as hell, and the first thing that I do was flash the most updated firmware that I found in here that was available to download. I flashed the whole LPD23.118-6.3 stock rom, a little bit newer than my old stock rooted rom. Everything working, everything fine, except...
In bootloader it says "Software status: modified", and when I try to manually check about updates, it says that my software is up to date, which I know isn't true, because OTA update of Android 6.0 is already available (i have a friend who got an X Play and he already received the ota).
How can I solve this?

The force closes you got are completely normal and if you read the thread you will have found out you just need to reboot your phone until they go away.
The status modified just means your bootloader was unlocked and doesn't matter.
You have a few options, keep trying for OTA, flash another version and keep trying for OTA, sideload one of the available OTA zip files, or try a TWRP backup.

Thanks for your reply. Actually i'm downloading the recently posted 6.0 firmware for the Brazilian/Latin American rom in firmware's thread. Unfortunately the download is very slow, but I guess I can surely update without losing anything. The only strange thing is that I didn't received any OTAs....

It's not necessary that if your friend has received the OTA then even you will receive it within few days. The OTA is rolled batch wise and no one knows which phone is in which batch except Moto of course. [emoji4]

OTA Updates???

I know when flashing, firmware updates can be 1Gb - 2Gb file sizes. When you take that same update OTA, do they send down the entire firmware file, or just the sections that need updating? This 910V is the first phone I have never rooted, and have never taken an OTA update. When I bought it, it was on 5.0. I downloaded the CQC1 firmware and installed it updating it to 6.0, via Odin. It tried to update itself immediately after I rebooted. I disabled the updater until I did some homework, as the thing was relentless about updating and driving me crazy. I see now there is CQD1, CQE1, and CQF2 available. My problem is, I have a crap internet connection (1.5Mb) and am wondering if it has to download that hug file anyway OTA, if I wouldnt be better downloading it myself and installing it via Odin.... rather than an OTA update that gives me no info on progress etc....?
So:
1) OTA or download and install it/them myself
2) If installing myself, Where is the best place to download the huge file, without having to sign up or be throttled?
3) Is there anything in these newer updates that warrant updating, or any problems that arise from them? Or is it wise to just stay on CQC1 which is working without a hitch?
Thanks for any help.
