I noticed that ATT says the lollipop update for the S5 was pushed on April 8:

However, mine still doesn't find any updates. I'm on straight talk with ATT, but I don't think that matters. Have they just not released it and I missed the updated news?
I have a unlocked AT&T s7 edge I bought it refurbished on ebay. I have flashed the SM-G935U firmware but there is no updates yet but when I used a vpn it said I have a update (using an American ip) but I'm in the uk on three what will happen to my device is it a possible nugat update
It's not Nougat, it's either the standard AT&T update from October, about 250mb, or the November patch at 50mb. We're probably at least looking at late February or March for nougat.
how can I upgrade my android version 6.0.1 to whatever is the newest out? I'm also on September 1, 2016 security patch. I got the verizon s7 one but I use it with a MVNO so I can't take it to a verizon store and have them update the phone.
Need to wait until it's released. Nougat hasn't come out for the Verizon S7 yet. There's a nougat update thread with a process to use if you want to root your phone.
oh there hasn't been any update before nougat?
I'm on g930vvrs4aph1,
there's the nougat beta.

i use Samsung Smart Switch on my PC with my test phones that have no sim in them.(including Verizon). http://www.samsung.com/us/smart-switch/
It does bring down the security and other updates.
I have an S8 Active unlocked in Europe. All OK but there are NO updates for me, even if AT&T have an August update for S8 Active
Any ideea what to do? There is any chance to receive an OTA update if I use it in Europe? Really strange... and frustranting. NO root, no custom OS etc.

To my knowledge, August update hasn't been released... I have an S8 Active on AT&T and just checked for update... None available.
Why is it so infuriating? It's well known that active updates come late, they always have.

Maybe things to know before going into it. You don't ever buy a carrier phone like this expecting root and custom ROMs SMH.
And that's the current firmware with the July patch. Wait a bit since it just came out or get an international model a little more suited to what you're wanting. The att S8 active is NOT it.
My fault It was released on August but it's July. I need some glasses Thx!
Release date: August 9, 2017
Android version: 7.0
Security patch level (SPL): July 1, 2017
Did you ever get there update? I'm considering buying an "unlocked" AT&T S8 Active too.

You need to use it on AT&T network to receive the update?! Because, I even reset my phone, do anything, but no sign of update.
I use it in Europe so, no AT&T for me. Really sad
That's too bad. I did end up buying an unlocked S8 Active G892A, I REALLY wanted this device so decided to buy anyway despite concern over updates.
I know the S7 active did require an AT&T SIM to download OTA updates, but I haven't seen if this really is the case with the S8 Active as well... I will write again once I receive my own device.
I am on October. I tried to find the url, but I took the update too long ago.

Is there a way to force the phone to update to the December patch? Do I need to use a VPN?
