Hi, my phone (G930L, Korean Exynos version), is rooted, and currently running a beta version of Nougat. I received a message both on my phone and also Samsung Switch program on my PC, that there was an update available. However, I'm unable to update both from the phone and Samsung Switch, due to being rooted.
Is there anyway I can update to the latest beta without having to flash factory stock firmware?
Thanks!
Sorry but i think you need samsung ofw for that.It won't work if you installed a rom based on touchwiz.

Hello everyone. I just recently got a note edge, it's the verizon version but I have it on straight talk, the software that I'm running right now is 5.0.1, I want to update to the 5.1.1 version but when I try and do the update from settings everytime it tells me that software update is temporarly unavailable, any idea on how to fix that or if I can update via computer?
if i am not mistaken, just download the latest firmware for your phone on your computer
use ODIN to flash the new firmware

Why would you want to update when 5.1.1 has proven to be such a major headache?
I previously rooted my Note 3 (I do not remember what technique I used). I also disabled OTA updates using NoBloat Free. I have since removed root using SuperSU but the normal method for checking for updates does not work. I also tried to clear the Google Services Framework as well as the "*#*#" trick.
Does anyone know what I need to do in order to get the system update functionality working again? If not, is there a way to to a manual OS update? I'm currently running 4.4.2 and I would like to upgrade to the latest version of Marshmellow. Here are some other specs - Baseband N900PVPUCNAB, Kernel version 3.4.0-533717. Any suggestions?
As an update, I just performed a factory reset....still nothing. Nothing happens when I click on the Update option. The same goes for "Update PRL" and "Update Profile."
There is no stock MM for the note 3?...AFAIK Note 3 ended with LP. There are a couple CM based roms on MM.

Thanks but I have no idea what you wrote.
There is no Marshmallow for the note 3. Samsung never put it out for us; they left us of at lollipop. However if you re root you can install Marshmallow from a third party. Such as Cynagenmod.
So long story short if you want OTA updates on the note 3 you are stuck of at LP. If you want MM you must root and flash custom ROM.
Hey guys. I was wondering, what is the process for android firmware updates? By this I mean, when I owned an iPhone (any model) after I updated the firmware there seemed to be remnants of the old firmware version and it would cause issues through the phone, at which point I would have to go on my computer, restore to the newest firmware essentially formatting the phone and re-uploading the new firmware on the phone. After that all was fine. Is this necessary on android in order to get a new, clean version of the firmware on the phone or does the update process do this throughout the installation? I haven't had any issues yet with the newest AT&T Nougat update, but I was just thinking about this and figured I'd ask before anything did happen, if it's like my old iPhones...
BTW, I'm on AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 with Nougat 7.0
I recently bought a new unlocked Samsung Galaxy S7 to use on AT&T. It is running on Android 6.0.1. There is no OTA update coming to my phone. I've downloaded Samsung Smart Switch to my PC and it states the my phone is up to date. Obviously it is not, since it is still running on Marshmallow. I figured out that the phone was originally set up for Sprint, as the model says SM-G930P on Smart Switch. The model number under About Phone states SM-G930a, and is running baseband G930aucs4apk1, csc code ATT. I have verified it is a brand new phone, never rooted. Samsung suggested I go the Best Buy to have the phone updated there. However, the closest Best Buy is 90 miles away and said they do not do the updates in store. I am resisting using Odin to do the update, as I don't have experience doing this. But at this point I'm thinking this is the only option. So far I have downloaded Odin 3.13.1 patched and Samsung drivers to my PC. Can I go directly from Android 6.0.1 to 8.0 without having to install Nougat? Which Oreo firmware do I need for my particular S7? Is it possible/easier to update my phone by installing the firmware using my phone's sd card instead of Odin? I am only wanting to update a stock version without rooting. Thanks for any insight.
Essentially I'm in a pickle and I'm currently running OneUI 5.0 beta 1 on my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra ATT locked device (SM-S908U) and I sideloaded the .bin for the official SMS908U beta build and it flashed and wiped everything and works fine. Except ONEUI 5 stable is coming out soon and I have tried Odin flashing several builds of Android 12 OneUI 4.1, I have tried Samsung Smart Switch emergency initialization (which doesn't show my device after failing to post the update), I went to Samsung Members but it says something about changed country info or not being in the Beta, but once I go to the open card to actually enroll for the beta, it says I'm already on it because it thinks since I have it at all its legit but it doesn't talk to the same exact framework of the app to find out if I need to officially enroll still. Either way I cannot opt out via Members either, I am fairly stuck. Any advice ?
*I do not have any backups from Android 12 stable.
You tried flashing official firmware for U device right? You were using CSC file or HOME_CSC to preserve data?
Going back from beta to stable means wiping data, phone will factory reset when you flash back the stable firmware and you should use the CSC file (not HOME_CSC)
Yeah... I know how to operate Odin3... It literally says right there I tried flashing multiple stable builds and each time it fails with AUTH error. Tried HOME and regular CSC....
I have the same phone. I have not gone back to stock U firmware from beta. But I have gone from beta to stock U1 firmware. I believe once you go back to stock U1 Android 12. You can flash back with Odin not patched to U firmware.

Any chance you still have the flashing zip file for beta 1 s908?
The link for beta 1 in this post isn't working
If you do can you send it to me please?
