I have been running my ATT S8 on Cricket since May, and just this week the phone (SM-G950U) was just updated with a new SW version. Now it has the Cricket splash screen, and new BS apps that Cricket pushed with this update. Of course, I immediately removed the 5 apps that it pushed(games, media).

Sorry guys, complete amateur here. I have an AT&T S8+ that was unlocked using a code from AT&T.
I switched to T-Mobile and my phone worked perfectly after simply inserting a T-Mobile sim.
Carriers push updates over the air and I assumed I would have put in an AT&T sim to get the oreo update, but it's been out forever and I have not been able to update my phone. I've been busy and never got around to it. My phone was working fine so I just it slide.
I've tried using an AT&T sim. I've restarted my phone with the AT&T sim in it. I've tried manually searching for the update. I've tried smart switch. I even went to the Samsung experience store in NYC and they had no solution. My phone will not update.
Any suggestions?
SM-G955U
Android Version 7.0
Android security patch level April 1st, 2017
Baseband - G955USQU1AQDE
I've been reading some of these threads and I'm not sure if this is correct, but I can use Odin 3.13.1 to flash to CRB9? That would get me to the first Oreo release?
Sorry if this is not the correct place for this thread. Thanks
Today the wife and I jumped ship from Verizon and brought our own S7 Edges(935V) devices to Tmobile. My phone is running the 935U Android 8.0 firmware already from Verizon and works great on TMobile service. Her phone on the other hand is G935V on official Verizon firmware still. Her phone works great on TMobile just as mine but her phone is still on Android 7.0 Verizon official. As far as taking updates now or reflashing with Odin,would it be safe to flash her phone with U firm from TMobile? Are all the U firms the same? Would flashing the TMo firmware help any at all with the tmobile radios and such? Any help greatly appreciated! Enjoying the TMobile service so far! Way better service here in Lansing,Michigan with Tmo than the Verizon.
I've used both the G935U and the G935T firmware on my S7 edge from Verizon no problem on the TMo network. People have said the U Firmware radio doesn't have quite the signal detection range as the others, but you might just be sacrificing a bar of service for more consistent connectivity.
Eventually I ended up using the G935T firmware instead because the TMobile bloatware helped my wife manage her account and such. If her phone was still on Verizon Official and needed flashed for a non developer, I would go with the Tmobile firmware just for less confusion.
The Verizon S7's really were never carrier locked in the first place, and the S7 has universal modem firmware.
Hi,
I really love my G892A S8 Active that I've purchased used in Canada.
But for some reason AT&T don't want their phone to be updated while on another network. This is the first carrier I've seen that does that (blocking OTA updates). Any real reason for this?
I've even tried with a prepaid SIM card from AT&T and paid the 35$ plan to later found out that you really need to be on the AT&T network (US) instead of a roaming network with a working ATT plan.
Even the attcompute.com site where I used to get OTA updates looks it is now blocked from any Canadian ISP.
xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48974/1488/SS-G892AUCS2ARA1-to-U2BRA3-UP
This used to work 3 weeks ago with the phone user agent. Now, all attempts return DNS look-up failed..
I had other carriers unlocked phone OTA successfully on another carrier network.
This is crazy... why block people from updating their AT&T unlocked phones????
And yes I know about XDA OTA source but it is not always up to date and depends on user base to upload OTA and make it available to general public.
Last security update is G892AUCS5CSH1 but I cannot find it anywhere... not even on xda.
Thanks!
Laurent
I have the exact same problem. I was able to find the pie update but not the last G892AUCS5CSH1 security patch.
they don't do it, because it will broke the sin unlock
The latest baseband for the AT&T version of the Galaxy S8 Active (a.k.a. the G892A) is G892AUCS5CTL1. You can find it linked from this post or this one and install with Odin 3.14.1.
Hey everyone. So back in March my wife and I both got new S10+s. I noticed recently that my wife's phone hasn't recieved any updates at all since she got the phone! Shes still on ASD3 firmware, March Security patch, etc. I don't think she's even gotten the fingerprint sensor fix update because her sensor is a pain to use compared to my phone. My phone has been updating regularly.
I tried calling AT&T customer support and they were pretty much useless. Any recommendations? Should i just look up the updates on XDA and flash the phone to the newest patch myself with Odin or something?
That's very odd given the phone forces updates by itself. Make sure your wifi connection is good. Try going to settings and manually clicking on software update. If that doesn't work just download the firmware from XDA here and flash it with that special version of ODIN. Due note that by flashing thru ODIN it will erase everything I think like a factory data reset does.
Is your wife using an AT&T SIM? It's probably a dumb question but AT&T doesn't update phones with their firmware if a non AT&T SIM is being used. It has to be actual AT&T - - they won't update if the SIM from an AT&T MVNO like Cricket is installed either.
If your wife has AT&T but different service plan as an experiment you could put your SIM in her phone and see if any updates show up.
Your AT&T S10+ should be on G975USQS2ASl6 latest firmware with Sept. Security. Do not know why it does not Auto update as mine does on Wifi.
My wifes tmobile one has the same issue, stuck on June patch. I'll be odin flashing it this weekend.
Hi guys,
Needed your help in understanding how software updates on my S10+, which I initially purchased from AT&T locked paid it off and got it unlocked, will work after I switched to Tmobile. I do get the tmobile splash screen now but under 'Software version' I do see that the service provider version has 'att' in it.
Here are my observations after unlocking and switching to Tmobile so far :
- I now get the tmobile startup splash screen and ringtones
- Default ATT apps gone and now replaced with Tmobile ones
- Previously hidden/disabled apps while on ATT are now accessible on Tmobile like Call & Message continuity, connect to windows
- When I press check for software updates it says 'Tmobile update service: connecting to server ' so it does seem its checking against tmobile server
But I'm still not sure if I will get future updates. Does anyone have a similar experience or information reg this situation pls? Worst case is there any way to flash my phone with tmobile firmware officially? I do not want to void warranty by rooting or side loading. Thanks
The service provider will always show AT&T even if you flash the U1 (carrier free) firmware or T-mobile firmware since the phone originally shipped as an AT&T branded device. That won't stop you from receiving updates.
It sounds like your firmware completely reprovisioned after you switched SIM cards so you should get OTA updates from T-mobile.
When I bought my S10+ the AT&T firmware didn't reprovision so unlocked users needed to flash non-AT&T firmware in order to receive OTA updates.
