So if u don't use ATT sim card, u will not get the update?
Why the update is not from google?
so we can't download the update into our phone and install it? Like win7 update to win10?
My new phone is on the way, I'm thinking how to update it.
So may I ask is that the first thing I should do is NOT rooting the phone?
Thank you guys

1. The OTA is stored on ATT's server, which can only be accessed by using their network, or MVNO's.
2. Google doesn't develop the LG UX nor do they have anything to do with the Flex 2.
3.You cannot download the update to a PC because ATT never uploaded the .tot used for the LG flash tool.
4. Is you root the OTA cannot be installed.

PR is for the Puerto Rican variant of the H950. The firmware is free of ATT bloat, but you'll need to stay with PR firmware. People are bricking this phone by flashing back to ATT's.
ATT's 5.1.1 exists as 11x & 11z. They have carrier bloat + carrier IQ installed.

Hello,
My phone is a SM-G920F w/ 5.0.2 installed. The Baseband is G920FXXU1AOCZ build number LRX22G.G920FXXU1AOCZ . The only reason I'm asking is because I've seen others get an OTA for 5.1.1 but I haven't yet. I was wondering if I could Odin the phone to a UK variant?
The seller from the shop said it was a phone from Isreal flashed with a Region Free Firmware? but when I check the knox it was still intact. Is there any way to find out more information about the phone?
Thank you!
I have the exact same question. I have the G920F international unlocked model as well, using it on AT&T here in the USA. Phone's working great, but no update to 5.1, despite reading reports that Samsung has pushed 5.1 to the international variants. Is it because we're using the phone in the USA? Will we even get the OTA update, or will we have to update manually using ODIN?
Here you go UK ROM 5.1.1 BTU ready for you to flash:

I didn't ask the original question, so my apologies. But I was wondering if you had any advice on how I should proceed to update my device? I have the G920F that I bought unlocked off of Ebay and using it on AT&T here in the USA. It's working fine, but it says there are no updates. I don't even know if it'll even get an OTA pushed to my device since I am not in the originating region?
Should I just wait, or is it safe to go ahead and flash one of these 5.1 roms with ODIN that are for the G920F? If so, which one should I install? I think the first one available for the G920F was the France one. But now there are others. Does it matter which one I install? Or would I have to wait until a North American rom is available?
Thanks!
For reference, my build is G920FXXU1AOCV and my CSC is G920FOJV1AOBL. Not sure what those mean or how it applies to my situation?

Ita still best to stick to your working 5.0.2 ROM and wait for official 5.1.1 OTA update which should come soon. Flashing exposes you to risks like bricking your S6, tripping Knox and voiding your warranty. If can't resist the itch then flash away.

Thanks for response, I assume it's the same risks as me? I also wanted to get rid of the Israel edition and make it UK, will I hit any risks?
Risks are still the same. You can also consider flashing this Israel 5.1.1 stock ROM below:

Hey Team,
I have a S7 that is unlocked but originally from CWW (Jamaica). I have yet to receive the Nougat update. I am using the phone on Virgin Mobile and I am in Canada. How do I go about getting the Nougat update? I tried Manual update from settings, no luck. Tried Smart Switch and no luck..
Change the CSC? If so can someone please provide me a walk through in doing so.
Update: I followed these intructions and was successful in flashing that firmware.

Now how do I get the Virgin firmware on the phone?

Why would you want to? Besides yours is a 930f, don't think you can flash w8 firmware on it.

I'm moving my SM-920V from Verizon to Tmobile. My baseband version is currently specific to Verizon so when I switch will my future firmware updates be coming from Tmobile and will the baseband version change to reflect Tmobile?
I guess what I'm confused about is if I were to manually download and install a future firmware would I be looking for one that is Tmobile branded for my phone?

if you are going to change just sim card then you will never get updates from tmobile but if you change your cell phone to tmobile variant then you will get them.

That is what I was mainly wondering. So it sounds like it is safe to download the tmobile firmware for my model of S6 and install that firmware when I move to Tmobile? Or did you mean if I change out my actual phone (hardware) to a Tmobile variant?

I should state that I'm up in Canada, so we're using a different set of regional codes. Nevertheless the latest avialable build I see is: G965WOYV1ARC1 (I have no idea what security level this is). My carrier is still on a February security patch level with build number: G965WVLU1ARBG.

I would be very careful in attempting to load another regions firmware on your Canadian variant. There have be some users who have reported ending up with a bricked device attempting this sort of update. While you can find stock Odin files for our devices, it's still on the v1 bootloader. Not worth the pain...

Let me know if you successfully flash on your device then I'll do it as I'm from Bell mobility
I got the downloads to go through. Will report once flashing is complete. Not sure which firmware will be on the phone when it arrives (att variant) but I'm gonna be flashing u1 then newest rc6 TMobile firmware. Hoping to have full features working as if originally a TMobile variant.
On a side note (mods please excuse) but Samsung. Com has the att variant on sale $639 ($200 off) and since I'm trading in my old s7 I'm getting an additional $200 off so $439 ($466 after tax) for a brand new s9+! Once i flash the TMobile firmware I'll be happy and for $400 off!
Anyone know if i need to sim unlock before flashing this? I've read about having to flash the unlocked rom before flashing the T-Mobile Rom and that's my other question. Can i just flash this tmobile firmware to the phone fresh out of the box or do i need to go to unlocked first (doesn't seem right) and put my TMobile sim in and be good?
My thoughts were that i could just sim unlock thorough a 3rd party then Odin the TMobile firmware and be done. Thanks

You have to unlock your device first, before flashing any other firmware besides your carrier firmware. Flashing unlock firmware, will not unlock your device.

SIM unlock has nothing to do with firmware/rom flashing. You can flash to any U/U1 firmware you want and your device will still be in the same carrier lock/unlock state it was before.
T-Mobile does do things a little differently, however. Flashing a different firmware won't SIM unlock your phone, but I do believe you need to be on a legitimate T-Mobile firmware to unlock the device via their built in unlocking app.
Awesome thanks guys. Will just get a 3rd party unlock service then flash.
If you got it from [email protected] they will unlock it free of charge. And if you didn't I would still try with them first before paying
Will use it to update my converted s9 plus from att to tmobile firmware.
I tried to search for updates in the menu but it says phone is already up to date. But version is RBG.
Latest one is ARC6

Im just waiting for Rogers in Canada to push out their latest update, which they say is now available, and its not. I want to see if they have updated from U1 to U2 before taking the plunge with this firmware.
What's the benefit to having T-Mobile f/w over unlocked? Or what's better about having unlocked? I'll be using it only on T-Mobile.
Hi,
I used to live in US and got an S9 plus from AT&T. I moved to India (in July 2018), got it unlocked by getting the unlock code and procedure legitimately from AT&T. Put a Vodafone India sim card. It works fine since but I have not received a single update since. Last update is June 2018.
In sw information Service Provider SW version shows
SAOMC_SM-G965U_OYN_ATT_OO_0073
.......
ATT/ATT/ATT
As I use this phone for work, our company mobile management tools prevent the use of rooted phones. How can I start receiving official OTA updates without tempering with the legit status of the device.
Thanks.

Because Vodafone does not offer updates for your model number. The carrier controls the updates and which devices are supported via update. Your device is not a Vodafone device, it is an AT&T device being used on the Vodafone network. If the original AT&T US stock firmware version is working fine, you should be able to download any updates that are available for your specific model number and then flash them manually.
