How to get update links - SOLVED - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hey guys. I jump in wagon of S8+ and now trying to find software update links. If anybody did not update yet i need lite help since i did not pay attention and update mine. Here are instruction hot to get download links : https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-att/general/how-to-download-links-t3450822
If someone would try to get me link as is showing for note4 but for S8E+ this will be great. This will help me to download DESC file and then i will get it download link for S8E+.
Thank You all.
Instructions:
To get the ota files, The first boot after you take an OTA update, dial *#8736364#. This brings up the firmware update menu. Click on 'Result'. There, you will see a screen that looks like the one attached from Note 4. I need screen shoot or link from this screen to get download links.

Very true, I'm sure Ill mess something up through adb and I'll probably have to odin back to stock, if I do I will odin back to the oldest firmware version so we get prompted for a OTA. :good:

I know. Phone restart twice as i notice. Just when you got to Samsung screen buzz and restart. I think this prevents from getting links for desc.bin to get download.what we need. I hope next time will just start.

I'm in the same boat as OP; I've changed my date forward 24h about 50 times and it still won't find the update.. My devices are always super late to get updates and the whole staged release thing really sucks. Kinda sad that we have to deal with this after all these years tbh :/
EDIT: Changed the date all the way to August; at that point it would auto revert to today. Put in my other AT&T SIM, moved it ahead to May 15, and now it's downloading. I guess if all else fails, try a different SIM!

Managed to grab this after the struggle of getting the OTA update. This is for the G955USQU1AQDE OTA update. Enjoy!

OTA Update: 185mb~
_______________________________________________
Usage:
So I've been using the device since the update for some time battery life has seemed to improve slightly, I have very heavy usage I'm gaming all the time since I'm fasting lol. They've improved the animations aswell. In my opinion I'd actually class this an update that has made a difference to my phone(for once).
It also now includes the update for knox 2.0 (can't take screen shot drm protected image) looks much refined than before.
I'll post battery usage near when I'm about to run out of the juice

whats this mean,when I try to update The software update service is not available. Maximum number of roll out updates has been exceeded.
Just a quick question, I have modded the build.prop to gain the new TW notification switches, will I have problems updating my phone OTA? Will I have bootloops, or other malfunction?

NOTE: I was running the Beta software and have received the full version through an OTA notification. THIS IS NOT AN EE BRANDED ROM AFAIK
Screenshot of current build number added

Did install in a few minutes, running fine...
Will have to wait for an EE branded ROM for VOLTE I believe.
Mine also came down an hour ago...went to post here and tether turned off for the update (obviously!) and in that time you beat me to it
Also g935fxxu1dplt on an unbranded S7 edge (was beta testing too). It's Android 7.0 as opposed to all the rumours of it being higher
Yarp, not EE branded.
Sadly it's also not got OnCircle in it
Changes:
OS Upgrade - Android 7.0 Nougat
Provides new UX and various performance modes
Improved usability of the notification feature and quick settings button
Improved settings menu and AOD feature, addition of the samsung pass feature
Efficient space for installation of downloaded apps, imrproved speed of system upgrade and app installation
*If you are using Gear IconX, please make sure to update to the latest version before downloaded to the Nougat OS

Which network are you on? I am on Vodafone and updates get pushed out super quick compared to the likes of EE who take an eternity.
Also mine was Vodafone branded but debranded it by flashing XEU so maybe you can try that?
Mine is unbranded (bought from Samsung Online store) and I'm on O2 network.
Do I need to flash another firmware to get updates more quickly?
I thought on an unbranded phone the carrier was irrelevant when it comes to updates. Maybe I was wrong?
I'm on BTU as well and I have nothing either.
EE carrier but my phone is unbranded from Samsung too.

I had the same thing when I had a S6 unbranded it took forever to get updates on BTU sometimes it was way after the carrier updates.
Not sure if you can go BTU to XEU but no harm in trying as it does not require a wipe of the phone.
**EDIT**
Another way is use samsung smart switch to see if there is an update using that.

Thanks. I had seen some information indicating we MIGHT get some iteration of 7.1.x before getting 8.0. Who knows when we'll get 8.0 though. It's in beta now for the S8/Note 8, but even for those phones it's still probably going to be at least a couple of months before they get 8.0. And we definitely won't get it before they do...

Correct, it went from binary 4 to binary 5. From what I've read and gathered once you take the update you can't downgrade firmware because the older ones are using binary 4

One minor (major) thing they left out of the change log. People are complaining on the S7 forums because they can no longer flash to U firmware. I haven't tried it, but I've also seen people have issues with rooting now because they need an updated eng_boot.
Does anyone have this firmware for download? it's not on Samfirm yet and now im stuck in a recovery loop and trying to flash the previous firmware fails due to the new bootloader. Google shows nothing.

Here is the Sprint firmware, for use with Odin, from the newest release. I can't take credit for finding it -- I requested it in another thread and someone posted it for me. I have now put it on my GD (the link below), just in case the original one goes away.
