Has anyone received the OTA Update

I was just wondering if anyone has received the OTA update yet? I've heard it's live but I haven't received a notification and when I tell it to check for updates it says no updates available...

Update
Nope, i've been checking on an hourly basis! hehe .... I don't know if they're rolling it out in different areas at different times or not.. I'm in Virginia so, it's not here yet..

OTA rollouts usually take up to 2 weeks to reach all customers. There is not set way they do it that we have found. Some may get it day 1 some will get it on the last day.
Usually they start off with only a small amout of phones to begin with in case of issues then they roll out more and more..

Thanks for the quick reply

Nothing yet, even after using *#*#CHECKIN#*#*
If *#*#CHECKIN#*#* doesn't work, it usually means they haven't started pushing it yet.

To add, I think they usually start at night as well. Even though the rumor is May 3rd, they probably won't start the OTA until this evening. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

No update here yet either.
On a side note, Status under software update is blank for me, and when selecting 'check new,' it says 'Checking for new Software available now' then just disappears. I thought it said No update at this time or something like that?

To those already running the leaked RUU, I wonder if the rollout will check to see which firmware you are running and if it sees you are on the latest it will just pass you by and consider you up-to-date and never prompt you to update since it doesn't think you need it

My phone never shows a window in response to a check for updates. My girlfriend has had three Thunderbolts and every one showed a "No updates available" window. I think some phones just don't pop a window in response. I have flashed several different stock RUUs.

Update rolling out now...
I have links to the update docs that are rolling out now but because I'm a new member I can't post links

you can get to it on the VZW page but you'll have to search for it
sorry folks and happy hunting

Update rolling out now...

add the correct tag to the beginning and correct tag to the end of that "non-link" above and you can get to one of them
take that XDA
why you gotta be a hater...

here's the documentation for the update
add the correct HyperText Transfer Protocol (hint) tag at the beginning and for the end tag I'll give you a hint it's a format made and supported by Adobe...

Will the update skip over me because I moved most of my bloat to sdcard\bloat ?

Just to confirm, will the update come through automatically OTA or do we have to pull/push it through manually (especially of we are rooted running custom rom)?
thanks

A. If you are rooted and have a custom ROM - just wait for the developer to update the ROM including the OTA... this probably has already happened with most ROMs using the leaked software
B. The OTA will be pushed to your phone randomly... no way to manually or force install it unless someone on the forums captures the OTA url address.
C. If you installed the leaked RUU, you will not receive the OTA
(this information should be a sticky)

I think I almost got the update. I can feel it my phone is also acting like it wants the update so this is a promising sign.

[Q] not getting updates (UK), is this normal?

new UK owner here. TF came with 3.1 already on it, i think. my firmware is listed in settings as: hmj37.ww_epad-8.4.4.5.2-20110603 and when i check for updates it says there are none available. TF not rooted.
it worries me that people are posting that they have received new updates since i have had mine but i've had nothing. is this normal? or have i inadvertently turned updating off?

Try going into the settings menu and then "about tablet" - hit check update and it will try and seek any available updates and will begin to download them for you.

i've done that and it finds no available updates. but is that definitive? what about the 8.4.4.11? update that many people are reporting having received in the last few days? is that america-only?

I am from the uk too and I at first I hadn't got an update. I think they're rolling it out gradually because i'm stock rooted and got an update notification yesterday. Haven't updated yet though as i'm waiting for more info to come out about how to go about it, fingers crossed you get it! Hope this helps. Dave.

ok panic over! just received my update notification. thanks for all replies.

let me revise that. i *think* i received my update notification. i didn't check it closely and it could have simply been an update notification for one of my installed apps. in any case, i delayed installing it and the notification eventually went away and clicking "check for updates" subsequently returned "no updates available".
i also have not received the 3.2 update notification as yet.
based in the UK. stock rom. not rooted.
i wonder if by not accepting the 8.4.4.11 update, i have disqualified myself from 3.2?
anyone else in this position?

I think I read on my 3.2 update notification that you can only refuse to accept the update 3 times. Don't think it said anything about what to do if you did refuse it those 3 times though.
I bought mine a couple of weeks ago from amazon uk and had it shipped here to malta it had 8.4.4.11 on it already. My 3.2 update came on the 2nd August. I had to force update by going through the About tablet check for system update procedure and all went well.

Did you receive the update meanwhile?
Also having 8.4.4.5.2-20110603 and no update in sight yet

still no update (ww, uk)

Been trying clicking that damn button loads of times since 2nd Aug.
Still no update and no other way to update, would have thought that a manual download would be easy to implement. esp after they keep advertising it.

still nothing.

Verizon OTA rolling out

Saw on AC that it was rolling out to T-Mo and Sprint users so I checked 2 hours ago and had nothing. I just checked again and it is available. From what I read it shouldn't break root. I'm updating now and will report back.

We probably won't see it for atleast another month the way Verizon is with their updates. Either way I will avoid it, I value root too much.

Update PDF to see changelog and what was updated/improved/ruined. However you want to look at it. Seems like very minor changes from which not many people will benefit.

I'll skip it for now, there is nothing for me in there. I don't use any of the apps other than contacts and that's working fine. I'll wait and see if anyone looses root with it.

I am inclined to agree XTC. I am also not going to be putting the OTA updater .apk back on my device. No way.

Yeaaaaaaaa. So the update is failing on my device haha. I'll take it as a sign. I don't really care for it much anyway.

Sounds about right. They either wait too long, or shoot it off before its ready. hahaha

Anyone know why my update may be failing though? update failure code 402. I have my phone rooted/debloated. I don't think that should make the update fail though.

To resolve, try plugging the Phone up to a PC and install the Verizon Updater software that is on the Phone's flash drive..(it is one of the disks that auto pops up when you connect the phone).

It's because you don't have a stock filesystem.

Not the Performance Improving Update!
I thought it was related to this update but apparently it is not.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is now receiving a performance-improving firmware update

haha nah. I have linux on my vbox. I have other workstations at work with windows 7 on 'em. I can't get it to open. I wonder if it is because we are blocking outbound ports with ACL's and maybe the software needs access to something to launch. I'll try off of a public Wifi as that's wide open. That's the only similarity between the windows7 and 8.1 machines.
EDIT: yup, it requires port 443 to be open (which it is) but it is also passing through our content gateway proxy. I believe it was flagging it as some malicious. Luckily, I know it's not malicious and I am the systems admin so I was able to bypass

Hi just had a 5.5mb update from Samsung saying enhanced features,anyone know what they are? Cheers

What is this ?

Hi,
I had the same thing yesterday: I received this "Urgent Security Update" via a notification that had the icon of the Samsung Apps application. Unfortunately, I dismissed the notification and I didn't do this update. But since that, I am not able to get this notification again in order to be able to do this update... I tried to launch Samsung Apps, I also tried in the settings of the S6 to search for either new ROM version or security policy updates, but no update though that.
So I wonder how we can get back the notification of this security update?

I got it also. It's the option for paid themes in the Samsung store!

Nah curious I had that option before this update

NEW UPDATE AVAILABLE Sprint (see screenshot)

i see a new update available but haven't tried it anyone else used it?

Security

It's not the April patch and we already had March's with Nougat. Hopefully some bug fixes and performance improvements. My battery has been a lot worse since Nougat

I notice a slight performance increase. Battery life definitely improved.

After the update, my phone won't boot past the Sprint LTE screen. Any one else with issues?

I didn't see an update from you about this, but I wanted to weigh in. I saw this thread and your issue. I installed the update myself and it seemed to stay on the Sprint LTE screen for way too long. I actually had time to stare at it, worry, then pull up this thread, reread your issue, read the reply about recovering, and reread the solution! Then the screen dimmed and after I stared it down some more, it loaded the system stating the update was successful. Not sure if this was your issue, but maybe? For those that may run into this, I guess be patient!

To fix the issue, I had to perform a clean Odin flash then update. I'm guessing the conflict was related to me previously being on the beta versions of Nougat.

Samsung's security updates are a month behind, it was basically the march security update now that it's just about April.

I had same issue before this update. Phone was stuck on beta version and said I was on the latest version when checking OTA. Smartswitch is complete garbage. Not only do you have to mess around with old C++ redistributable just to get the latest Smartswitch to run, once you do get it running the auto-prompt to revert back to stock no longer worked and the manual recover feature also didn't work as it said I had an invalid serial number even know I didn't. Not only did it not work, apparently the serial it wants is on the box only so if you don't have the box your SOL. I had the box and it still didn't work. Total lousy tool and worthless.
I ended up having to flash the official build with ODIN doing a clean flash. Once I did that, everything was great. Issues went away (battery drain, lag, getting hot, etc) Now this latest update popped up like normal. Update didn't take long to install, all good.
So those that were on beta at some point, use ODIN to flash official build. I already have a GS8+ on order and moving to big red after 15+ years with Sprint. Sprint is taking away subsidy on top of I can't take the network anymore it's total crap. That is a story for another day.

Well if anyone cares, the update includes the checks against hiding GPS mock apps from system. No more hiding. No more Pokemon Spoofing, if you're into that.

I have the same issue. Updated late Sunday evening and never got past the LET screen. I left it on over night plugged in and still at the LTE screen in the morning. Went to Samsung Experience Center in Best Buy and they re-flashed and all was well with no data loss.
I was prompted for the update again this morning, ran it and again looking at the damn LTE screen as I type this. The Samsung folks are off until Thursday so trying to figure this out. The SmartSwitch app does not recognize the phone.
Will look at Odin and appreciate any tips you, or anyone, has.
