How to receive OTA updates after root?

Hi guys.Id like to ask you a little info.I rooted my Samsung S7 Edge with stock fw Nougat.I cant get updates via OTA.Is there a way to fix it?THX in advance.

once you root your device, a file in the operating system is changed so that you can not get OTA updates.
Currently there is no way to fix this.
you can try smart switch or go to sams mobile to see if there are any new updates.
currently the last update has February 1, 2017 security patch.

Probably you want to downgrade the bootlader. If the firmware is A310FXXU2**** you can't downgrade. If the firmware is A310FXXU3**** you can downgrade. https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a3-/SM-A310F/SER/download/A310FXXU3BQD2/132023/

You can downgrade a firmware is the firmware has U3 bootloader. For example A310FXXu3CQI2. If the firmware is A310FXXu2**** you can't downgrade.

My phone is j7 pro sm-730f-d/s.i installed to it j7 binary5 firmware.(9.0)now touch is no working.how to solve this issue

Hello i have a samsung galaxy s9-g960f with binary 17 i think, odin says device 17 binary 2 (or whatever i want to flash). Is there any way to downgrade it to binary u2?

Samsung's downgrade lock is an insult to users. The blatant destruction of the device is a mockery of the user's intelligence and an abandonment of Samsung's reputation.

flashing g930f rom on a g930p

hello,
so i've been doing some readings and i know the hardware isn't the same so i know technically its impossible
but!
but what i also know is that i bought this second hand galaxy s7 that had android 6.0 using g930f rom, i tried to upgrade it to 7.0 automatically but it didn't detect and update. so i decided to flash a 7.0 rom manually. to my surprise in the download mode it said it was a 930p model and now i am stuck with a sprint version with no hotspot or lte.
so as i don't know if it was a custom rom or something but it used to have a g930f rom in it

What firmware did you flash? You may be able to put the u firmware on that may solve your problem

tried going to the U version but the binary thing is still behind the P version so i need to wait for the U to be updated (or thats what i read)
but that is not my concern here, i want to know how i had an F version while its technically impossible,

Download this U firmware and install using odin. It's a universal firmware for the AT&T S7 Edge, does not have any AT&T crap on it. It also doesn't have VoLTE & wifi calling, but who cares, it works just fine. I have an AT&T S7 Edge and I'm using this myself. I love it and it always get the OTA updates fast. This is the latest firmware with the January security patch. Enjoy and hope this helps. This is Android 7.0 Nougat

The latest firmware update is G935UUEU4BRD1 April Security Patch. I always update OTA via the software update in the setting menu and it downloads quick.

What firmware version are you on right now? If you want to go to SM-G935U then you have to start with the base of January and then update from there via OTA.

Just so there's no confusion here, no one person "updated it OTA". What you have is an official U rom which fetches updates whenever Samsung pushes them out.

If your on the U version, then go to Settings then Software Update and then tap Download Updates Manually. It should force an update. If not, download the updates from Sammobile and flash them using Odin.

Thank you! My S7 Edge ATT SM-G935A is on Marshmallow 6.0.1 now. Can I flash directly to the latest version or I need to go from the base on first and go 1-by-1 up to the latest?

Problem with downgrading S8

Hello,
Recently I've updated my Galaxy S8 g950fd from Android 8.0 to 9.0, however i found it terrible and I would love to go back to 8.0. I've read many topics and all of them states that I have to downgrade it through the Odin. I've downloaded a few softs from websites:
SM-G950F_1_20181227130827_c3nriwjmas_fac
G950FXXS4CRLB
G950FXXS4CRLB_G950FOXM4CRL1_LYS
G950FXXU3CRGH_CL14023573_QB19093103
G950FXXS4CRLB_G950FOXM4CRL1_LYS
G950FXXU1AQG5_G950FOXM1AQG5_ZTO_4file
And non of them works. Odin keep showing FAIL message, phone stuck on bootloop and the only software I can use is 9.0 ( G950FXXS5DSF1_OXM5DSF1_(SM-G950FD))
At this moment I'm downloading 2 firmwares from sammobile.com website: XSG-G950FXXU4CRL3-20181218135110 and XSG-G950FXXS4CRLB-20190128142840 and I hope they will resolve the issue I'm facing.
What am I doing wrong? Is there any other way to downgrade my phone?
Thanks a lot for replies!

Your bootloader version is v5 and all other firmware including previous pie and all Oreo firmware are at v4 . If u installed June or July update on your phone then u can't go back anymore and thus Odin keep faling for your

I've found Lineage 15.1 OS with bootloader v5 on android 8.0 however I am struggling now with installing TWRP. Keep getting FAIL in ODIN and note in phone: Only official relased binaries are allowed to be flashed (RECOVERY). I've tried to reset cache, perform factory data, OEM is enabled and usb debugging as well. I don't know what's going on to be honest and after reviewing thousands of posts - I can't fix that issue.. My current software on my g950fd is G950FXXU5DSFB Android 9.0.
Is here anyone who can advice me what should I do? I would really appreciate that. Thanks!

Anyone?

Sorry can't help you with that much, it seems u did all correct steps for rooting the phone. dunno why u get only official binary message.
