Unlocked ATT SM-G975U software update - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

Hello guys, few months ago I've been in the USA and I bought this unlocked ATT S10+ since I found a great deal for it. Everything is going good so far but I have one big problem: software updates. I have never received one and I got this phone for 4 months now. My One UI versione is stuck at 1.1 with last android safe patch being from 1 february 2019. If I check for updates it just says that the phone is fully updated, but of course it is not.
What do I have to do to get updated on this phone? I'm in EU atm if that matters.
Thanks.

[Q] Samsung Focus Update

Has anyone done the update yet?
I can't seem to find anything that is related to the Focus update (other than the Omnia 7 fiasco)...so I was wondering whether or not I should update when Zune prompts me to...?
They are resuming the rollout.

Yup,
I did some research after I posted and I found only a few articles so I wasn't absolutely sure.
Eitherway, I did the update and had zero issues.

Are you on ATT?
anyone not getting update notification on either the phone and/or Zune software?
I bought my phone over a week ago from the ATT store here Georgia. never recieved the previous buggy update notification, and still have not recieved the new bugless pre-update. even with it connected to Zune it says my phone is up to date. 7.0 (7004)
I'm on Rogers in Canada.
There is a rumor that ATT is not rolling out the pre-NoDo update. Can anyone confirm this or has anyone updated their windows phone (focus or otherwise) through att?
update?
how is the update scheduled? Per region ? or carrier? What about if my unit is an AT&T Samsung Focus and I am using it on a different carrier, how will I get the update? Will At&T has the ability to block it? even sim card inserted is not At&t? I read that it will be pushed, but I never got any notifications at all.
No update here

AT&T has not approved the first update. Focus owners will need to wait for the No-Do update now which will be released pretty soon anyways.
No update here. Samsung Fucus. Washington DC. Purchased first day available.
It's a rumor, but hopefully it comes true:
http://www.wpcentral.com/ATT-focus-get-pre-nodo-and-nodo-monday
The first minor update was held back intentionally as some users reported it was causing some issue.
It was rolled out again this week, but apparently there are issues again.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-20039227-94.html
I just received mine this morning after notification late yesterday. I plugged in the phone to laptop this morning and it seems to be intalling the minor update. I am on FIDO in Canada with Rogers Samsung Focus.
EDIT: OS Version after update reads 7.0.7008.0
The update took about 10 minutes.
What does the up-date fix?

I beleive this update is only for allowing better/faster install of future updates that actually have fixes or features that we are all waiting for (copy/paste) among other things (Internet Explorer 9, Flash).
Have an unlocked focus in Egypt and no update notifications whatsoever.

It was a rumor with no truth to it at all. I don't expect NoDo to be released to the carriers until at least the 15th (the day of the "big" announcement from Microsoft).
No update here either...AT&T
Software version: still: vOS version: 7.0.7004.0
Reviewing that some International carriers are moving it on Samsung as quoted:
"I just updated WP7 here in Singapore.
LG Optimus 7.
OS version: 7.0.7004.0 to 7.0.7008.0
Successful Update. No glitch. Very Smooth.
3/5/2011"
this kind of explains it ?

[Q] Official Mango Update for UK

I have 16GB unbranded and unlocked Omnia but I don't have the official update yet. Has it been released in the UK yet?
I have unbranded locked omnia7 in UK and got the update as soon as Microsoft started rolling it out on Wednesday. I was running the 7720 RTM.
Sent from my OMNIA7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Hmmm, wonder di you get it because yours is locked to a network. Dont know how it works when the phone is not locked to any carrier. MAy have to go the zune forced route but would prefer the auto update.
i had a dev unlocked handset tied to Orange and received the RTM update and the samsung update on Wednesday but lost the Orange Marketplace (had it in beta2..)
Seems so far then that it is only carrier operated handsets that are getting the update. HAs anyone with an undranded AND unlocked handset got it yet or am I the only one??
Its definitely not just the carrier operated handsets that get it as im on T-Mobile and they have said on the forums that they wont be releasing the update for a couple of weeks.
They are probably busy taking a **** on the OS so it says T-Mobile everywhere.

Not just that, but making it so everything automatically sets to google, so when you hit the search bar it will load a Google page :/ Google doesn't even work properly on WP7 -.-
I got the update Wednesday too running RTM, and mine is a "3" branded (although has been properly unlocked with a code) Omnia 7 8GB. If you are getting impatient you should just update to 7220 RTM and it 'should' (I am not guaranteeing anything here, I'm just suggesting it because I was on RTM and I received the updates on Wednesday night too) then push the (I think it said 10? Wasn't paying attention cause I was excited to finally be able to use Bing Vision effectively and such) updates to the phone.
The three store and app things were still on my phone while I was on NoDo, but the store itself dissapeared when I went through the unofficial Mango RTM update process - I don't see the Three apps anymore and to me thats a good thing. Although I can't speak for the Tmobile apps the 3 apps were all useless (especially considering I was on a different network) and they were all horribly programmed.
I'd say Mango is well worth losing your network specific apps from what I saw of the "3" apps.

You're sooo right brother. Or maybe to upport their shait add-on apps, which no one gives a crap about. My phone is branded TMO-DE and so far, no any official update yer. The International schedule on the Microsoft again show the SFR in France and T-Mobile - Germany as the only ones not pushing 7720 to Omnia owners - still "in testing". testing my ass, worthless POS TMO..
Official Update finally came through
Guys,
Please to say that I finbally got the official Mango through zune today. Had not had much time to investigate but one thing I can say it is soooo much faster on my Omnia; hoping for other great things....Good to see we can now add custom ringtones but NO alerts!!!! Why?????
still no update for omnia 7? buyed phone from T - Mobile

I lost Orange MarketPlace after updating from RTM too.. but after a few days it returns mysteriously
I think it's to do with the way that the update logic works - different servers id the phone & the carrier (thats why disconnecting the internet at the right moment tricks it into updating the phone even if the carrier isn't ready)
I'd like to buy Samsung Omnia 7, locked T-Mobile. So, has anyone in the UK received Mango update for their Omnia 7 on the T-Mobile network?

I have a T-Mo UK Omnia7 and was running the 2nd Beta of Mango when 7720 was initially released. I got the 7720 update as soon as the first releases happened, so was quite suprised earlier this week when I get another update notification.
I haven't done this latest update yet as I'm running 7720 and am quite happy with it. If I update with this latest notification, will I run the risk of having to roll-back to my NoDo backup first, or is that process now dead and gone?
Does the T-Mo UK version really have internet sharing If so, my iPad is getting a new lease of life!!!

When is the March security update coming to unlocked Snapdragon variants?

Again Europe is getting the update way before the US market. Any word when to expect the update here?
No word yet and Samsung hasn't put out a schedule! hopefully soon...
At this point they should wait for April patch... But what matters most to me is resolving network bugs with Sprint + T-Mobile. Still, isn't it odd that even the U1 S10s don't have the March patch?
I don't care about the security update, I want the fixes, like the deep sleep bug, etc. So tired of feeling like a red-headed stepchild.

I had an U1 S9+ in the US and it always came last for any updates. Use to be the first to get them but not anymore. It took about 3 weeks to get the Pie update from Oreo after everyone else got it.

ATT has some network issues also.. I'm having to restart my s10+ one to two times a day just to get signal back. Unlocked S10+
Damn, even though these phones are made in vietnam yet they still havent released any update for vietnam region (exynos)
My Unlocked UK gets updated pretty much on day 0, but you Americans have to suffer waiting for your lazy providers to bloat your firmware first, not only that, that's also another reason of why you can't unlock your bootloader, it really sucks.
Samsung's update schedule is totally ignored by most providers worldwide, some S9 units are getting Pie just now, so there's no way to really know when anything is coming to anyone.

Mine is unlocked, not a provider phone. Yet still ignored by Samsung. I love Samsung phones, I always get unlocked versions, but this is absolutely ridiculous. One thing about iPhones that makes me jealous.
April....day 5....no March update. How is it acceptable to have a flagship phone, where Samsung committed to monthly updates, and to be a month late right out of the gate?
My phone runs amazing. I'm not sweating it.
I am still waiting also.
It should arrive for U1 once all US carriers update their U models. I think Verizon & ATT haven't updated yet, will check later.

Finally! Thanks for heads up
I got a prompt for a biometrics update (Canada unlocked version) yet when I try to install it, it fails. Had to remove Secure Folder it seems, but then the notification disappeared completely. No more notification and biometrics still the same older version. I love how good Samsung is at rolling out updates. I will probably never get this now.
No March update either, a md it's mid April now.
Hopefully the biometrics update(s) will come soon for the snapdragon unlocked us version
Just received the unlocked March update... Yippee ???????

Update AT&T S10+ No Longer On AT&T Carrier (SM-P975U)

Sorry in advance if this question has already been asked, but I couldn't find anything on my own.
A few months ago I bought a refurbished S10+ (SM-P975U) on Newegg, which I later learned was originally from AT&T. I was a little spooked that it didn't have any updates to install when I got it, but I didn't get concerned until recently when I learned that AT&T branded phones only receive updates when they're on the AT&T network. The last update I have is from August 2021. As of writing this, I believe there is a November update.
I have some experience using TWRP to flash custom ROMS, so my first thought was just to flash the stock OS without the AT&T branding. Thing is, I'm hesitant to mess with my S10+ because it's my main phone, let alone the fact that I don't even know if this is possible.
Is there anything else I can do? Connecting to AT&T isn't really an option since I live in Canada, and I'd really rather not trip Knox or risk bricking my main phone.
Updates tend to break AT&T phones especially older ones. My AT&T Note 10+ hasn't been updated in 2 years. It's current OS load is over 1.5 yo, still fast and stable.
With Pie and above security isn't an issue unless you do something stupid.
If your firmware is fulfilling its mission, let it be.

Galaxy S10 plus not receiving OTA updates

Hi guys. So last month, I was gifted an unlocked galaxy s10 plus from the US and had it shipped to Nigeria where I live in. But since then I haven't gotten any OTA updates. The last security patch on the phone was on July. And I'm aware more recent updates are out. I've checked repeatedly from settings and smart switch for PC, but the phone still doesn't detect updates. Any ideas on what to do?. I'd be grateful if I get a reply. Thank you!
