MAY SECURITY PATCH UPDATE FOR SM-N986U1 "DUD5" - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu

BUILD#="11">N986U1UES2DUD5/N986U1OYM2DUD5/N986U1UES2DUD5</latest>
It's that time of the month again, and if you haven't received an OTA from your wireless provider yet and you want the latest, greatest, etc., you can get it easily via UCCD (dialer entry) by removing your nano-Sim card and following the steps I've outlined in the worksheet below.
After your handset I has completed the System Update, simply power down again and re-insert your nano-Sim card back into the tray, close it up, then reboot your device. Your device will automatically update back to stock, via your SimCard data, from the XAA Carrier Sales & Network Code change earlier to snag the OTA!

I tried this on my Note 20 Ultra 5G US version that was XAR/XAR/XAA that was not showing updates. I started with the DUC8 firmware. It resulted in downloading the DUCB firmware and camera version 11.0.02.82, but not the latest DUD5 firmware. Hmm, now I'm thinking that maybe I need to try it again.
(edit)
... and that was the answer, it took two cycles to catch up since I was 2 versions behind.

"Network unavailable" on manual System update attempt

Just got my Axon 7, shipped from DE to UK, thought I'd try manual software update.
Current version listed as ZTE A2017GV1.0.0B06
It times out with Network Unavailable despite the fact it is connected to WiFi and Chrome works fine as well as everything else needing internet connections.
I am on Three UK, haven't tried updating without a SIM ... is that worth trying? I did see at initial setup I was prompted to accept some sort of 3UK profile though I assumed this is just APN/MMS stuff.
Anyone else having similar problem trying to update?
I see talk of updating to B08 etc, from 2017G --- is 2017G same as 2017GV1... wouldn't want to assume anything this early on in my game
TIA for any tips/advice.
Am really liking this phone though, might be nice to get latest update for security mainly, not sure if many features are added?
Same issue here as it happens, though I'm currently trying to update WITHOUT a sim (didn't appreciate it was nano so new one on order!).
I was thinking it maybe needed one to be present to update, but clearly that's not the case.

Can't speak to the EU version, but I was surprised when my A2017U would not complete initial setup (& update) without the SIM, although wifi was strong. All completed quickly as soon as I popped in the SIM.
Hi,
I have the same issue here.
I've just bought A2017G from Italy (Amazon) and I live in France. Can't have the upade to B08. There is always this message "No network" after a minute of searching. I tried with 4G and Wifi and there is the same issue!
Also can't connect
Same issue here. I am already on B.08 and have wifi/Sim in place.
Mysterious problem
I have tried many solutions but I wasn't able to update :
- used three different sim cards from 3 operators
- removed sim card and worked only on wifi
- used VPN
- tried to update via SD card form the update page and from recovery
... Unsuccessful !
Anyone have idea?
I'm also having the same problem. I live in Sweden and I just got the phone today. Would be nice if I could update sometime soon.
A2017g b06
Greenland here, I also have problems with the connectivity
Maybe ZTE is updating its servers so that the updates can finally deploy at the same time, the same version, for everyone.
Or, maybe... they are silently getting rid of Adups and moving to another kind of upload process, before **** hits the proverbial fan.
Also, Global Axon 7 here, brought via Amazon.es, sent from Germany and now used across Portugal/Spain. Running 0B08.

I can understand that, but even if we put the B08 update file downloaded from ZTE support in SD card, the update can't be processed.
Hello, I had the same problem, I reinitialized the Axon 7, and I copied the file update.zip B09 on the phone, it recognized and installed the file (I was on the b08 before)
Hallo, i have the same problem with update, I have B06, somebody can give me a link to download the latest firmware and how to install it.

hmm I put a b09 in the sd card and it updated no problem
Solution found!
I’ve already found the solution for the manual upadate from SD card and it’s easy to do.
Theses instructions are not mine and I’m not responsible of what you do with your phone. I found them inside the update file that I Downloaded then I unzipped.
You will find a PDF document called “ZTE A2017G Upgrade Guide (through an SD Card).pdf”. You can use it to do the upgrade step by step.
Till now, all was OKEY: backup is very quickly with Zte app. The update take about 5 minutes, than the phone restarts automatically.
If you cannot find the B08 update file, try to download it from here: http://www.ztedevice.com/support/detail?id=98CEB24F9FFD433EA99EC424163149A6
Here are the steps (exactly as mentioned in ZTE Upgrade Guide)
ZTE V7 Upgrade Guide (Through an SD Card)
​1. Backing Up the Data
1) Download the upgrade package.
Open http://www.ztedevice.com.cn/support and download the upgrade package (update.zip) that matches your phone model. If the downloaded package is not update.zip, unzip the package to obtain update.zip.
Ensure that your micro SD card is at least 3GB.
2) Remove the SIM card before the upgrade. Back up the data and APPs in your phone by using the built-in Backup function. To enable the built-in Backup function of your phone (an SD card must be inserted), select
Backup and Restore from the main menu。
3) Perform data backup.
Note:
You should not remove the SD card during the backup process. To avoid data lost, it is not recommended to cancel the backup process.
4) Verify that the update.zip file in the root directory of the SD card
matches the model of the phone. Do not modify the file name and extension name of the files in the upgrade package.
5) Verify that your phone has enough (at least 30%) power. Charge the phone if required. To avoid data lost or upgrade failure, it is not recommended to upgrade your phone through an SD card when the phone is being charged.
Note:
You should not perform any other operation on the phone during the upgrade process. To avoid upgrade failure, do not forcibly remove the battery.
A normal upgrade should be completed in 2-3 minutes. If the phone does not reboot or show any response in three minutes, you should perform the upgrade process again. If the phone cannot be started, perform a forced upgrade. If the forced upgrade does not work, you should contact an after-sale service agent for support.
2. Upgrade Description
There are two upgrade methods: normal upgrade and forced upgrade.
If the phone cannot be started properly, for example, the phone cannot be started, or the phone does not enter stand-by state, perform a forced upgrade. If the phone can be started properly and the Settings menu can be selected, perform a normal upgrade.
3. Upgrade Steps
A. Normal upgrade (the primary upgrade method)
1) Download the upgrade package that matches the phone model from ZTE official website (http://www.ztedevice.com.cn/support/), extract update.zip from the package, and copy update.zip to the root directory of the SD card (the file name must be update.zip
2) Select System Manager > File Manager> SD Card from the main menu, and verify that the update.zip file in the root directory of the SD card is proper.
3) Tap the main screen is displayed. Tap and select SETTINGS >All setting > Updates>,
4) Click INSTALL, The phone automatically powers off and reboots. the SD
card upgrade screen is displayed,
After the phone is upgraded, it is rebooted again. After the phone starts properly, it is recommended to manually restore the phone to its original factory default settings. The phone is upgraded properly and can be used.
B. Forced upgrade (for the phones that cannot be started or the phones that cannot enter standby state)
1) For a powered-off phone, press and hold both the volume key + and power
key to enter into Recovery mode.
2) Press the volume key - to select apply update from sdcard, and press the power key to confirm it.
3) Press the volume key - to select the update.zip file, and press the power key to confirm it. The phone completes the upgrade process in about three minutes.
4) On the Upgrade Complete screen, select reboot system now and press the power key to confirm it.
4. (Optional) Restoring the Data
If you have backed up data before upgrading your phone, restore the data.
1) Backup and Restore important user information.
2) Perform data restoration.
Note:
Do not remove the SD card during the restoration process. To avoid data lost, it is not recommended to cancel the restoration process.

The file is on ztedevice (link in thread) but i think (as some of other users) that this patch is only for Spain - don't know that for 100% but most ppl that can upadate it with OTA are located in Spain. Also I still get "network unavailable" when I trying to check update (location Poland, phone from UK). But you should can update from B06 to B08 as I can without any doubts via OTA.

Guide to unroot and install Nougat on Galaxy S7

Note - this is for the SM-G930A AKA AT&T model only. Unrooting and flashing firmware works the same way for other carriers, but with different files.
Hi everyone, I just thought I should share how I went about unrooting my S7. I initially rooted it while it was running Nougat already, and I liked the extra customization options. However, I found after several months of using it that the only real feature that I personally liked about having a rooted S7 was the ability to "try" paid apps for free using Lucky Patcher.
The downside of rooting, for me anyway, was severely slow laggy touch inputs and general phone performance. Sometimes - especially after a reboot - I experienced slightly better performance, but overall it just got too annoying. The app that gave me the most trouble was Google Maps. That's why I decided to cut my losses and unroot; I'd figured out which apps I actually wanted to buy since I'd already used them for a while (I will miss free in-app purchases though ).
So after some Googling and reading up, I decided to try for myself. I was already running baseband version G930AUCU4BQA4 before I rooted, so I thought maybe I could just flash stock Nougat and be done. However, all the guides I read say to flash a stock firmware, so that's what I did to be safe.
So first I downloaded the stock firmware for my phone from a website called rootmygalaxy, on the Download Stock ROM For AT&T Galaxy S7/S7 Edge (SM-G930A/SM-G935A) page (being a new user sucks).
After that, I used the stock, unpatched version of Odin v3.12.3, (from Odin's website) to flash the stock firmware onto my phone. It should be noted that the steps you take to flash a firmware to download mode should be 1. Open Odin, 2. Put phone in download mode, 3. plug the phone in. I had some failures in Odin because I was doing that wrong. Steps one and two are probably interchangeable, but just make sure plugging in the phone is the last thing you do. Also, make sure you have ticked USB Debugging and OEM Unlock under developer options before you do any flashing.
Once that was complete, I rebooted my phone and set up Android 6.0.1 on the phone. After a full 24 hours, I still couldn't get any OTA updates, so I decided to manually flash Nougat because it is so much better than Marshmallow.
This guide on the website droidviews called Install Android 7.0 Nougat on AT&T Galaxy S7/ S7 Edge (SM-G930A/ G935A) was very helpful.
Take note of the fact that the guide references baseband versions by the last 4 characters, i.e. G930AUCU4BQA4 becomes just BQA4. I checked my baseband version, which ended in APJ4. According to that guide, all I had to do was flash APK1 and then I'd be set to update to Nougat, so that's exactly what I did.
After again flashing via the 4-file method with Odin, I set up the phone again so I was back at the home screen. I downloaded both the APK1 and the .zip file containing Nougat while my phone was charging (from 90%, my phone was at ~50% by the time I had Nougat up and running), and I placed the .zip Nougat update onto an SD card that I usually keep in the phone. Once APK1 was set up, I put the SD card back in, rebooted into Recovery Mode, and waited until the manual screen came up. Then I simply chose update from SD card, chose the .zip file I'd placed in there, and waited. After a while, I was greeted by a new setup screen. I set up Nougat and now it's running just fine.
The only issue I'm seeing is that I'm still not getting any OTA updates. I hope that doesn't continue, but if it does I can just update via .zip or something.
Thanks for reading!
where did you get the nougat.zip?

Links for AT&T USERDATAs

I know these are much tougher to find - can't be obtained from SamFirm or SamMobile. So I'll be uploading one for each bootloader version. Firmware is universal on U models so you can use the other 4 files from any other matching collection. Can probably even mix and match builds, if you can't find files for the exact same build. Can't mix and match bootloaders though, so the other 4 files have to at least be from the same bootloader.
USERDATAs for any other CSCs can be gotten from SamFirm - for the latest version. If you need an old USERDATA for a CSC that's not commonly found on SamMobile (ACG, LRA, TFN, etc), let me know and I can probably get it.

Can I use the userdata file for G55USQU5CRF5 with the other four files being from the build G55USQS5CRF5? I'm not sure what the difference between SQU and SQS is, and if it is significant. Thank you!

Yes, you can. There basically is no difference
I'm begging someone to help me. I flashed my AT&T S8+ to the G955U1 unlocked firmware, then got accepted into the beta and installed it via OTA update. I now want to go back to a AT&T rom so I can have stuff like Wi-fi calling and VOLTE back. I've tried so many different roms with ATT userdata and they all fail with ODIN. I'm guessing its something to do with bootloader version. Is there any way I can get back to a AT&T ROM from the G955U1 Pie beta firmware.

I finally managed to get Odin to flash a ROM. All of them I tried were bootloader 5. But now the problem is I cant get OTA updates. My phone is back to being a AT&T one with the AT&T boot screen and wi-fi calling etc etc. But everytime I check for updates it says its up to date even though I have CRL1 and the latest AT&T firmware is U5CSA4. I would update form SD card but that wipes the phone every time. I had to do that 4 or 5 times just to get to CRL1 because it kept saying my phone is up to date.

1. AT&T phones don't OTA if you're using a carrier other than AT&T - even their own MVNOs
2. If you are using AT&T, OTA rollouts are staged. It just came out less than a week ago, so your phone might not have been green-lit yet
3. Both 1 and 2 are really irrelevant anyways, because you can just Odin flash any update you want. Using HOME CSC will ensure data isn't wiped

I am using AT&T. I know rollouts are staged but I've never had it tell me my phone is up to date when it is 7 versions behind which it was because I had to start at CRF5 since that is the newest AT&T Userdata file I could find. I checked after doing the update from SD card method each time, making sure to put the date on my phone forward since AT&T only lets you manually check once a day. No matter what it said I was up to date despite being several versions behind.
I'm gonna try using Odin to flash one more time because not being able to do OTA update is a HUGE PIA. Dose it matter that the user data is called "ATT_G955USQU5CRF5" despite the firmware being USQS because I couldn't find a USQUCRF5 and besides AT&T's update history shows USQSCRF5 anyways. What I did was downloaded a verizon G955USQS5CRF5 ODIN file (because for some reason AT&T odin files are really hard to find) and replaced the Verizon user data with the AT&T one.
Also if I flash say CSA4 verizon with the verizon user data the put my AT&T sim card in it dose it not download all the the carrier bloatware and what not? dose that basically turn it back into a AT&T phone? or could I take that CSA4 and flash it with the CRF5 AT&T user data?

1. I have no idea what the difference is between SQS and SQU. Even on the same network, it seems to be completely random as to which one gets assigned to each new update. I don't think it matters
2. Don't flash userdata if you're going to Odin flash a different carrier's version. Just do the normal 4 files
Sorry for the late reply. But just wanted to say that this method of getting from a G955U1 (US Unlocked) firmware back to AT&T branded firmware did end up working. I did eventually start getting OTA updates after using the method I mentioned (flashing Verizon USQS5CRF5 ROM files with AT&T G955USQS5CRF5 USERDATA file using ODIN Odin3 v3.13.1 3B Patched). Then updating to the then latest version using the update.zip method using files from the "Firmware Science" site (I think that's the name). Then about two days after AT&T released a new update I actually got it OTA. However after it installed successfully my chrome app became broken. Opening it and hitting the ... button in the top right would open the menu but all the options just said "chrome". Tried clearing the cache and files of Chrome but then it just crashed when launched. Had to do a reset (not a big deal since I had a Samsung SmartSwitch backup on my SD Card). Just hope that dose not happen every OTA, but guessing it was a weird fluke.

Hey I am in the same boat. Can you please help pointing to the files you used to ODIN to get back to ATT version.
SC1 USERDATA was added a few days ago, for anyone wanting to jump to Pie
USERDATA added for bootloader 6
USERDATA added for bootloader 7
Ive been researching and reading most of the day about returning to stock on an att 955u. The only download i can find that wont take 6 hours is from samfirm and is G955USQS7DSL2. Can i use this and the userdata from your link to return this back to stock?

Since the USERDATA is TA5, I would recommend using a build that's closer to that one. You can get TA3 from SamFirm under regions/CSCs ACG, CCT, LRA, SPR, TFN, or VZW.
When you say "returning to stock", what firmware is currently on the device?

I was on a verizon build. I ended up returning to stock with G955USQS6DSG4, got one update and now says no firmware. Currently shows G955USQU6DSH8.
SamMobile actually had pretty decent speed.

Do you have all of AT&T's apps and bloatware now? If so, it should be updating at least to SJ3, if not up to TA5. You would need an active AT&T SIM inserted in order to pull the update though

Yea just uninstalled and disabled a bunch of att and samsung bloat. I am currently running an att sim. Should i possible download the v7 files and try again? Shouldn't matter that the firmware was from "tmobile" right its the userdata that counts iirc.

No OTA update since march 2019

Hello,
since march 2019 update, my phone Nokia 5 TA-1053, cannot "see" any further updates. It's June by now, and I was unable to update my phone by OTA with april and may 2019 updates.
What have I done, and didn't work:
1) clear cache partition from recovery mode
2) clear cache and data for Carrier Services app
3) clear cache and data for update service
4) trying all above without SIM card(s) inside the phone
Nothing is working. I'have bought this phone in November 2017 (in shop, without branding of any sort), and had no problems with system to this day. What can I do to update my phone, except wiping all system and data? @edit:
1) never rooted
2) never installed custom firmware
3) only official updates

My phone says that there is no new updates, and my system is up to date.
Fix for missing OTAs
1. Backup any photos etc you want to keep
2. Switch off phone.
3. Remove SIM.
4. Switch phone back on.
5. Factory restore/erase (without SIM).
6. When phone restarts, set location as India, connect to wifi (do not insert SIM yet), download all updates, OTAs should appear
7. Once all OTAs installed, reinsert SIM
This worked for me.
I have been seeing a similar issue of delayed OTA update availability. In my case it seems to help to reboot the device, then it sometimes finds the new update.

My Verizon Note 8 just received an update (N950USQU8DVB1) but I had thought that the phone was out of support and was not going to get any more updates. I don't see mention of this one on the Verizon update page. Does anyone know what this is about and why we are getting an update after the support window is over?
Hmmm. Just got the Verizon update also..it does show on web page now as available.
No idea why this came in a year after support ended...lots more than just security updates it seems. Glad I kept it
Can anyone confirm if this update made voLTE available?
Does anyone have the files available yet to download and flash?
I don't see them on sammobile.com yet, but I would like to get a copy if anyone can help.
This updated broke my phone. I updated last night and now I have a "No sim card" message. I took my phone to a repair shop and they couldn't fix it. They suggested maybe a flash/roll back, but they wouldn't do it for me. My phone was perfectly fine before I updated. Good times..............
Try booting to recovery mode and wiping the cache partition. My friend had a dual sim version and sim not found message happened to him, wiping cache and double checking network was set to auto fixed it for him.
Another method may be trying to connect to windows and download Verizon software assistant and select repair phone. Takes a while to download everything so be patient until it finishes. I recall it took a half hour. Hope it helps.
