I use my Note 3 as a wifi only device around the house. It has been terrifically useful for years. I never got the last Verizon OS update because by then I had moved along to the Note 7 then landed on LGV20.
I still like using my v20 but some apps will no longer update (Fandango and others) because my os is too old. Android 5.0 is what I have now. N900VVRSEPL1 is my latest update.
Is there a way for me to install the most recent vzw os update without turning on the mobile data? Since this phone uses a different sized simm I can't just pop in the one from my v20 and even if I did turn on data I don't know if vzw is still pushing that update from years ago.
Is there still a way to root my phone to get Nougat update?
Suggest you go to the Verizon forum for Note 3 .

When available for Note 3 from Verizon?
Never or spring 2015.. No one knows if or when we will get the update. Verizon is always so slow. The newer devices verizon dont even have the update. I personslly doubt we will ever see it.
I have this model. I was using it on TMO while waiting for the Note 7 replacement. I got the new Note 7. I took the simcard from my old work provided iPhone 6 and put it into the unlocked S7E.
My question is that AT&T is the simcard that was in the iPhone and I don't seem to be getting the patch from Samsung for the Sept patches and the rest of that payload since it's connected to AT&T. Is there a way to sideload this update without screwing up KNOX? I'm a newb to Samsung phones as I've used Nexus phones since the Nexus One.
Any help or tips would be amazing. I don't really want to put the TMO sim in and wait for the update to push.
I have a 64 GB Nexus 6P, currently running Android Nougat 7.0. Verizon is my provider. On 12.5.16, I received a notification that the update to 7.1.1 was available, but when I attempted an OTA, I did not get the update, nor the security patch. I read on the internet that Verizon blocked the update for Nexus 6P customers due to a SIM issue with this update. I am still running 7.0 and Settings shows my phone as up to date. Verizon has not been able to provide any information about why this update was blocked. I was told by a T-Mobile store supervisor that their Nexus 6P customers did get the update to 7.1.1. If I were to leave Verizon and switch to T-Mobile, allowed the update to 7.1.1, but then found T-Mobile reception was not good, I don't think I could return to Verizon with a phone updated to a version they had blocked. I was looking forward to Visual Voicemail, which I believe was introduced in 7.1.1. Could someone tell me if this block from Verizon is expected to affect all future Android upgrades for my Nexus 6P or is Google known to be working on a fix. ?Am I blocked from any future upgrades now that Verizon has blocked this one? Verizon told me there was a similar issue for the Pixel, but it was fixed because Verizon sells the Pixel, but never sold the Nexus 6P.

There are many "stuck" posts on XDA, but sometimes the Verizon ones get buried. Your phone is not blocked from getting an update, nor have Verizon phones been blocked- it's just stuck and sometimes that just happens. There is a 7.1.1 January update expressly for Verizon phones (N4F26J) that includes a new modem to address the Visual Voicemail and other Verizon specific issues. You can try various methods to force the OTA again such as a SIM swap, but you can also download and flash the full OTA directly to the phone. You don't have to be unlocked or rooted to do this. To address the other part of your question, you can definitely swap out SIMS from different carriers and go back and forth- not just in the US but many countries overseas as well. That is the beauty (and purpose) of owning a carrier unlocked phone.
Just saw a Verizon S10 5G with Android 10 today and it works but is very buggy. As far as I know Android 10 is not being tested on the AT&T, T-Mobile or Sprint versions. For those of you who want to the the PDA/CSC/Phone here it is: G977UVRU2BSJ3/G977UVZW2BSJ3/G977UVRS2YSJ3. (this is an internal build so you will not be able to download the firmware using SamFirm)
@Altair571, do you happen to have any pics of it by any chance? It would be incredible if you can share something like that.
Sorry I am unable to share pictures of it.
i read its releasing today android 10 for verizon please confirm>
It's been out for three days now.
My son has a galaxy s10+ that is the at&t model that was on at&t now is on Mint Mobile. How do I go about updating the system software without having to wipe everything off the phone? Since the phone hasn't been on the AT&T network for 2 years no it no longer receives any updates and is running older system software.
Rule#1 if a OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission let it be!
Upgrades and updates can and do break devices.
Starting with Android 11 cpu cycle sucking, app breaking scoped storage is fully active. It will screw up its usability and functionality. Android 10 will also but to a much lesser extent.
This N10+ is still running on Pie, current load is over 2 years old. It runs like a bat out of hell, still fast, stable with minimal maintenance. Security is not a issue. Upgrade it? No!!!
