I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy S5 (AT&T) with cricket. Since the phone works flawlessly with just the cricket SIM in the phone. I had no reason to get it unlocked or had to change any internal apn settings. My question is with it being an AT&T phone using a cricket SIM card for service will it be able to receive OTA firmware updates? Thanks in advance.

Hello everybody. This is my first post here in XDA. Please note that english is not my main language (I'm from Argentina).
I plan to buy at amazon the AT&T G3 model (D850) that has the same LTE bands that will run in my country. I will unlock it by IMEI code in order to use it in one of Argentina's cellphone companies. Unfortunately, international model D855 that is factory unlocked doesn't support my country LTE bands. I have doubts about the Android OTA updates after the unlock. Do I have to wait until AT&T releases Android updates or will I get that direct from LG? Also, what happens with updates with unlocked AT&T phones (by IMEI code unlock) running abroad on different cellular companies? Will I get updates from AT&T or I will be stuck with an old Android version?
Thanks in advance
Unless you are using an AT&T sim you won't receive ota updates from AT&T. Since the phone is a branded AT&T device you must receive updates from AT&T.

Is there a way to update Android in my situation? I saw there is a method through RUU to flash LG updates.

Probably due to ST being an mvno of att. There are numerous threads for numerous devices with this same question as the op, the answer always being the same.

So, do you say I will be able to update Android on an unlocked AT&T G3 from abroad?
Hi everyone.. I need help.. I have galaxy s3 verizon running android 4.4.2. I want to unlock it for any GSM network all I found is for android 4.1.2 or below Kitkat and unable to find any solution for Kitkat 4.4.2. Please help me to unlock my phone to use any sim.
Newer vzw phones don't actually have a sim lock. You just need to put the new sim in, and add APN info. Not sure if this is the case with the gs3.
I'm using a vzw phone in Spain right now.. Didn't do anything to it.. Inserted new sim, added APN.

For future reference, VZW gs3 works fine with a tmo sim, just add apn's for your carrier, as stated above.

Hi guys, recently I bought an S8+ and it turns out is an unlocked At&t model. I am using it in Argentina and it works great. Thing is that I am not getting any software updates. Is it because I am not using it with an At&t Sim? Is there any way to get updates using another carrier from another country?
Thanks in advance!
