OI5??? That version was 9 updates ago from back in September of 2015. Have you been stuck on Lollipop then for 2 years?
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-27682
Maybe time to update then? You've missed out on quite a lot of good updates(Marshmallow and soon to be Nougat). Why don't you want to use Odin btw? It's probably one of the best and easiest ways tools for updating your device firmware. It doesn't affect knox or your warranty or anything either if that's what you're worried about. It will get you quite unstuck from Lollipop too.
Anyhow, here is the most recent firmware version in case you do decide to use Odin:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/127667/N920TUVU4DQC2_N920TTMB4DQC2_TMB/

Maybe your phone is rooted and that's the reason why you don't get ota updates. Flash latest firmware with odin, no other solution

I just selected software update to confirm and my phone does nothing also. I guess t-mobile is getting ready to send the big update to nougat. That's probably why it's not working. Give it a few days and try it again.

If your phone happens to be rooted or knox tripped you'll have to use odin to flash the update.

Note P905 cant update

Hello!
I just bought my new tablet and I wanted to make sure I have latest version for my device, but I got a message saying that my device has been modified, ok so then I installed kies and it told me I had the latest version avaliable, then I went into download mode and I saw system status:Custom, I tried to wipe both partitions but still the same problem.... I bought this tablet today feels very strange that my system is custom. On my note 3 it is says official
Are you using a MicroSD? If yes, take it out, then reboot and check again. It's a known bug.
Same on mine. No micro sd rebooted many times

If you rooted you've tripped the knox security sistem and samsung won't update a rooted device. At least that's what Ithink happened on my device...

Hello
I have the same problem. Is custom but Knox is 0x0. I try everything, including Odin, but NO result. In Odin don't start the process, in Kies it shows that is the last firmware, and OTA "the device is modified".
This is a common issue with the SM P905 variant, I had the same problem myself. The only way to sort it out is to send it to Samsung for repairs or take it in to a service centre. I'm pretty sure all they'll be doing is reflashing the firmware but you might not want to void the warranty by doing it yourself.

Hello
I solve the problem by using another laptop with WinXP. But please make an IMEI backup. I don't make it, and now my IMEI is /01 and I don't have Phone acces. ..
Now is possible to use my computer (Odin). I make update at last BIOS for my laptop. But still I can not find my IMEI, and in this way can't use the phone...

Wait simply for the update via KIES or OTA. It will be available soon or is still available for a lot of countries.
Status will pass from modified to Official.
check this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2710004
Hi,
You first have to check if this particular update (not the stability update BUT this "modified status bug" update is available for your country.
Check it here http://live.samsung-updates.com/inde...device=SM-P905
Have a good Sunday.

Knox has nothing to do with why you're not getting the update. If you want it now, go to sammobile.com and download the full tar file for nk4 and install with Odin. This will update your phone and all settings and data will still be intact. If you don't want to do that, you will just have to wait until Sprint releases the update to your serial number.

I rooted mine with Towelroot and then Deleted it. I can"t do the OTA for the 4.4.4. I Tried with the KIES and still no avail. So all I need to do is download the Tar file and it should work?
When i restored mine with kies3. The device status changed from custom to offical. Maybe you modded files that arent restored with kies?i did factory restore and cache wipe before kies.

SM-915A Aug. Update 5.0.1 Firmware Search...

I've been looking everywhere for the latest updated firmware for the SM-915A. Apparently my phone updated without my knowledge, (Thanks again AT&T) and I went to roll back to KitKat without looking at my FW version....now soft bricked. Does anyone know where i can find the latest version? Thanks.
Use kies. Under tools there is an option to initialize or something. There you put in your serial number an it will flash your phone with the latest os from your carrier. Think your phone must be in either download mode or the "firmware update had an issue, please connect to kies" mode.

Go to best buy they will refresh your phone. Kies are not working on At&t phones.

Thanks for the info
I had boot loop. Fixed it on my T Mobile Note Edge by booting into recovery and doing a factory reset. I am now on 4.4.4 native.
This is the AT&T variant...note edge SM-915A. We don't have an unlocked bootloader, hence no custom recovery to boot into and reflash
I didn't use a custom recovery. I would have mentioned that. I used Samsung's stock recovery mode and did a hard reset
Gotcha...yeah mine killed stock recovery too. We'll after being without a phone for a week, I tried best buy Samsung experience and they couldn't fix it. I ended up going to the Samsung service center storefront and they finally got it going again for free. Well looks like I'm stuck on LP though but at least I've got a phone again

Use smartswitch emergency recovery , samsung have put in place some issues with the Bootloader, moreso if you're on a newer bootloader then you cannot install a firmware which has a lower bootloader

When you downloaded your firmware for odin, was it the very newest update? Or an old one, I've noticed some older firmwares fail to flash due to being on a newer bootloader

Hey, so I have the bootloader problem too and I think we have to wait for the nougat update for the type of phone you have. I have a galaxy s6 tmobile so I think I have to get nougat and flash that when it comes out for tmobile. You have to do the same I think but for now Im gonna send it to samsung and act dumb. Hopefully maybe they fix it and send it back. Do you think they will accept my phone though? It was rooted and had nemesis rom. for nougat port from s7 edge. Also current binary is: Samsung Official. System Status is: Custom. They can see knox is tripped since the counter is void: 1.

Hey, it depends if you have warranty on the phone or not. If you have warranty, it will not cover your expenses because it's void after unlocking bootloader and rooting. If you don't have warranty and you are paying them anyways, they should have no trouble accepting it. Who would deny taking money. I hope they can fix it for you and I'm sorry we couldn't figure out how to. What you said about Nougat is true. I have checked that information as well. There is no Nougat for TMobile yet. We just have to wait. Again, in the mean time if I fix it, I will post my solution here.

how to update phone when abroad?

So I'm about to go on an international trip for 6 months and I know Android N is suppose to be pushing out to our devices soon but I was wondering if I would still be able to download the update? I'll be gone for 6 months so I hope the answer is yes!
Verizon update assistant app for windows. can upgrade firmware when released. just plug your phone in and it checks for updates

you can also download stock firmware and flash with odin when nougat will be available
