Whenever I try to update the firmware through the settings it says "Check for updates failed", I might have disabled auto updates don't remember. Would it be more simpler to toggle it back on or manually update the firmware? I'm fine with instructions for either option.

So ive rooted my N910U running 4.4.4 and now when I go to update I get an error pop up saying my phone has been modified. How do I get around this and update?
That is normal because once rooted, the device looses the ability to update over the air. Also uncheck the auto update box to prevent this message popping. If there is a new firmware, you can simply download it on pc from a repository, flash via odin and reroot.

Thanks for the tip. Where would i find the download for the update for a n910u?
Im thinking about buying this device. Is the bootloader unlockable and can i use it on Verizon network
Use kies to update your phone then re root
I happened to see a security policy update yesterday on my notifications. The update obviously won't go on a rooted phone the normal way so I'm looking for help on getting this update installed w/o losing root, or is it possible?? I've heard of Chainfire's app, "FlashFire" but when reading how to use it I have to have the download and when I tried to get the security policy update download I kept getting a prompt that said it had failed. Even when I tried unchecking the Automatic updates and going to Manual it failed. So what am I to do about this? Is it all about "Un Rooting" to official and installing the OTA ? or is there another way?? I am Canadian running 6.0.1 MM, G900W8VLU1DPD3, MMB29M. I hope someone can help. My provider is Telus. It wouldn't hurt to link me to a proper tutorial for un-rooting if that has to be. I'm using TWRP recovery. Thanks!!!
My G935T is on PK1 version, rooted previously but currently unrooted, device status is Official. However the software update menu has changed. I remember seeing Download updates manually & Scheduled software update, previously. But now, I see only one option "Software Update" and it does nothing when I clicked on it. Any ideas on what is wrong?

You unrooted through odin?
Is there an easy way to get it? I tried the firmware finder app from the play store and it's still not working. I show the updates available, but when I try to send to updater it keeps bringing up that notice saying I need to go into my wifi and change proxy to localhost and 8080, even though I've already done that. Is there any other way I can get the nougat update?
I'm having the same problem I can't update to any nougat firmware I'm on c636b191
See my post in the OTHER thread you created.
You must update to b200 via dload and then boom u get nougat update
I rooted my phone last October 2020 and installed a custom ROM. Enjoyed it for a while but today I decided I want to revert to stock.
- Flashed stock ROM from Frija (wasn't able to backup data and settings when I first rooted my phone) (the stock firmware is the May 2021 security firmware update, it's the only one available from both SamFirm and Frija based on the region and carrier where my phone came from) using the HOME CSC file instead of the CSC (not sure if it's important to point that out but i'm just gonna bring it up just in case)
- Re-locked bootloader using download mode. Verified by searching for Netflix on the Play Store and thankfully, it showed up.
However, I tried making the phone search for an OTA update by going to Settings > Software updates > Download and install, but after checking for updates, it says my software is "up to date". I'm not entirely what the latest software version in my region is but I really want to get OTA updates back. I don't care about tripping Knox or what not, I just need the OTA updates.

As for my experience, if you are unable to get updates because of rooting, you will get: "Unable to connect to the server" or something like that. If neither Frija nor SamFirm were able to find newer software that you have, it's more like region-specific, not a rooting problem
