Facing an odd issue, it appears in Kies and says the update to lollipop is available for the device (SM-N915G, XSA, Australia) the phone is unlocked, so it's not through a carrier and it was brought outright, when plugged into kies it says there's an update available, click update, nothing happens at all after proceeding with "Next" "Update" etc.
The update doesn't appear in Settings > About device > System update. What can I do?
(PS. Not a rooted device, not modded, no TWRP/CWM, not unlocked bootloader or anything, keeping 100% stock please.)

I got my Xoom 2 unlocked from an electronics store rather than a carrier, so I'm not sure where I need to get the ICS update from. Whenever I check for system updates it just says "checking for available updates, please wait" indefinitely. It doesn't say there isn't an update but won't find one either.
System version
0.268.4.MZ616.Telstra.en.AU
Firmware
GAS_ASIA_TABLET1PASTUAUTEL_P021
The bootloader is still locked but I did root it, would that be the problem?
Hi,
I was trying to update my GS4 OTA to KitKat 4.4.4 but I had to cancel the update over WIFI and leave the house. When I tried to update it again it shows that my device is up to date. But it's still on 4.4.2.
Somehow it thinks that I have the 4.4.4 I think. Why do you think this is happening ?
I reset my device and nothing is different. Any feedback greatly appreciated.

Hi
So I was rooted, and I heard about the bug fixes for the new update Lollipop 5.1.1, so I decided to unroot and install the update through Samsung Kies.
But, I am really confused. After the update completes, on Kies and when I click, "Update Now" it says I have the latest version. But then I look under "About Phone" and it shows "Android Version: 5.0".
Is this normal? Does it not show 5.1.1? The update didn't fail, it said it was applied successfully. And when I go into Download Mode (Odin Mode) it shows I have the Samsung Default Binary and the Official Version, etc. etc.
So,
Was it supposed to just show 5.0? Is it actually 5.1.1?
Thanks in advance,

Hi there,
Nothing looks wrong, just looks like Sprint is keeping you on 5.0 for now...
The Android 5.0 update for Galaxy S5 owners with Sprint (model number SM-G900P) can now be downloaded OTA. To see if the update is waiting for you, just go to Settings > About Phone > Software Update.

Any further questions about this device, please feel free to ask in the > Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 5 > Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Hope this helps.
Model MZ617 with Verizon connectivity. I'm running an older version of the ROM but when I select System updates it just sits forever saying "Checking for available update. Please Wait..."
Anyone know how to get the latest update?
Well, I did a factory reset and it was able to contact whatever server it contacts and apparently it already has the latest update.

I rooted my phone last October 2020 and installed a custom ROM. Enjoyed it for a while but today I decided I want to revert to stock.
- Flashed stock ROM from Frija (wasn't able to backup data and settings when I first rooted my phone) (the stock firmware is the May 2021 security firmware update, it's the only one available from both SamFirm and Frija based on the region and carrier where my phone came from) using the HOME CSC file instead of the CSC (not sure if it's important to point that out but i'm just gonna bring it up just in case)
- Re-locked bootloader using download mode. Verified by searching for Netflix on the Play Store and thankfully, it showed up.
However, I tried making the phone search for an OTA update by going to Settings > Software updates > Download and install, but after checking for updates, it says my software is "up to date". I'm not entirely what the latest software version in my region is but I really want to get OTA updates back. I don't care about tripping Knox or what not, I just need the OTA updates.
