Hi.
I have a G955U Galaxy S8+ AT&T Factory Unlocked on Android 7.0
Baseband Version: G955USQU1AQC9
Android Security Patch Level - April 1, 2017
I no longer live in the US, and currently in the Philippines. Phone works great and the signal is too and all, but I cannot get OTA updates. Every time i try to update it says that its up to date.
I have tried different ways to update it that i read online, The latest one that I have tried is following the steps given from this Thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s8+/how-to/sprint-released-oreo-s8-s8-flashing-t3915872 but it gave me this output https://prnt.sc/oqjnp6
My phone is not rooted or anything just a normal phone. I am just trying to update it to the latest Android Version 9.0(Pie) , I just made this thread for the reason of maybe someone can help me on updating my phone.
Where you able to update it? Or are you still having issues?

So, someone from AT&T FINALLY contacted me about my issue, and they informed me that the reason why Im not receiving the Nougat update is because I don't have the latest security patch. For some reason my Edge is still on the November patch. They suggested I go to Best Buy and have them flash the newest patch for 6.0.1, then I should be able to receive the update.
My schedule is rather hectic, so I'd much rather flash it myself at home. Can anyone please direct me to where I could find the most recent security patch so I can flash it in Odin?
First, you are in the wrong section. Please head over there: AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion.
Second, I think there's no newer Marshmallow release available. Anyways this may help you:
Marshmallow build
Nougat build
Hello XDA Community,
Ever since I got my Samsung Galaxy S7 (G930A) it hasn't gotten a OTA update. I have 4 family members with the same phone purchased the same date and they are all up to date with their software. I have tried updating it using the normal process Settings>About Device>Check for software updates and it always tells me that "Current software is up to date". There most be something wrong with my phone, is there a fix for this type of problems? My phone is currently on Android 6.0.1 Build #: MMB29M.G930AUCS2APH1. I would like to update it since I have an outdated security patch etc. I would like to gain root access but I just read that with root samsung pay can not be used, can anyone confirm this? I have rooted phones before, just haven't done it in a while. Any help, suggestions and recommendations are welcome.
Thank you in advance

Take it to a Samsung rep in Best buy, they'll updated it.
Is there anyway that I can perform the update with my PC? I see the stock ROMs available on here but they all required root. Is there any stock ROMs that don't require root?
Thank you
I went to Best buy and they updated me to QE1. They did not have QF3 yet. Whole process took 5 mins though
Hi There !
I have recently bought LG V20 H910. It is on android 7.0 and its further details are as below:
Android security patch level: December 1, 2016
Build number: NRD90M
Software version: H91010i
Whenever i try to update the android, it says that there is no further update available. I tried both OTG as well as LG PC suite methods. When i tried searching for security patches on LG site, i got this info that latest patch is from March 2018.
I wanted to know how can i update my phone and why it says that there is no update available, when there is update available as per this LG site
My device is not rooted. I tried to root it earlier to install lineage OS (by following the guide). I am not a tech savvy kind of person at all.
Please help me with this.

Awais Javaid.

Sounds like your previous attempt at root screwed up automatic Ota from your carrier. Your going to need to root and twrp to flash an updated stock rom

Looks like you've the att model, are you actually on ATT? I've seen reports that if the att model doesnt have an ATT sim it wont find updates.

Well it seems so. I tried rooting it with kingoroot and it failed. Then i searched online for rooting solution and came to know that v20 cannot be rooted by these software because the bootloader is locked.. It needs another method (told in forums). Well i didn't try them.
I need some further help in this regards. I have few questions. I hope you can answer them.
1. If i unlock the bootloader and install twrp and then install the stock rom, CAN I INSTALL ANY stock rom, for example, stock rom of international model instead of at&t version?
2. I am using h910 but not with at&t sim. I am on other network. Will installing with official rom (other than at&t version), keep the gsm working>?

You could possibly flash the US996 which is the unlocked version, as far as updates you'll have to check and see if there's updates for it from LG, but the big concern would be determining what bands are available with that variant to see if they are compatible with your carrier, you can also check this forum and see if there's updated 996 roms that you could flash to get the latest security patches. But as the previous poster stated as long as you are on 910 rom and using another carrier's sim you'll never get an update from AT&T

I am having the same issue, not sure how to update, each time I check ... it says its up to date.
You have to wait for it to become available. Actually my roommate and I both have 950U's. His loaded automatically months ago. I had to look around and then it was in my updates. Have Samsung experience level 9.0, which supposedly is as good as Oreo 8.1. That's good, because I can't find a way to get the real 8.1. If you run the latest patch/system update from April 1st, you have installed a level 3 bootloader and are the proud owner of one of the few phones that cannot be rooted! Congratulations! Maybe someday. My build number has changed to R16NW.G950USQS3CRE2
Hi all,
First time poster, long time lurker.
I have recently purchased the galaxy s8 the other day, I was expecting for it to come with the Android default version 7.0 Nougat, however, it came with Oreo 8.0.
The baseband version of the phone is G950FXXU4CRI1, and the fifth last character indicates it is running Bootloader 4.
I heard it is impossible downgrade since the current available 7.0 Nougat roms from SamMobile are Bootloader 1.
I would like to clarify is that true?
If so, what happens If I force the downgrade with a different Baseband version?
If I am unable, are there any alternative ways to downgrade to 7.0 using an official samsung rom?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
