How can I know if my phone receives OTA updates? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just flashed the latest Nougat BTU ROM for my SM-G920F. And after checking CSC using *#1234# it says BTU. Does this mean I'm already in the BTU update cycle and will continue to get OTA updates in the future?
I came from root. But now that I'm on Nougat and Xposed isn't updated to Nougat yet, I'm OK with not having root to get OTA updates. I just can't afford to download a ~1GB file from sammobile/updato every time just to get the latest security patches.
Thanks for the help.

S7 Global Update OTA via Flashfire while on TWRP possible?

Im getting constant bug reports with a new G930f G930FXXS1APG3 Trinidad & Tobago Baseband G930FXXU1APEQ rooted with TWRP security patch July, 1 2016.
My wife has identical phone/software with no bugs.
It keeps prompting me to update ota, i dont because i havent fully wrapped my head around taking software updates directly from Samsung. Coming from G900t so this is new to me.
For right now i would like to stay stock and custom recovery and keep or re root
Would anyone suggest trying to flashfire the latest ota if someone has it? Or would i flash in TWRP?
Can i Flashfire and keep TWRP?
Will updating 6.0.1 to 6.0.1 help with bugs?
I'm not sure what to do, but i would like to update this or stop the bugs without a custom rom for now.

Nougat update package for download?

I received Nougat via OTA but had to rollback to MarshMallow due to battery issues. I'm not sure if I will receive the update via OTA again in the future. Is there a way I can download the Nougat update package manually for the FRD-L04 model (B122)?
You can do it using Firmware Finder (you can download it on Google Play Store).

Official Nougat firmware for Honor 8 (FRD-L04; USA)

Hi,
Does anybody know when the official Nougat firmware will be available for the Honor 8 US Model (FRD-L04)?
I received the Nougat update via OTA back in February but downgraded to Marshmallow due to battery drain issues. I haven't received the update via OTA again, so I'm looking for official Nougat firmware to try it manually.

I had the same problem just wipe cache in recovery and wipe data of the system update app.

It is available, I have the B385 OTA update on my FRD-L04. Maybe check on your PC with HiSuite if the update can't be found from your device.

You can try Firmware finder to have the latest firmware.
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
I received OTA Update of B385 on my L04 couple of months back in Karachi, Pakistan
I have downgraded multiple times to Marshmallow and have always reviewed the OTA update.
Incase you're not recieving it, unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP. Then use Firmware Finder to download the firmware shown in the screenshot below. Flash all the downloaded files using TWRP. You will be updated to nougat without wiping anything.
(In future, remember that all firmwares that end with PV can be flashed using TWRP)
Thanks for the suggestion on using FirmwareFinder.
I tried different packages from FirmwareFinder but the installation stops at around 5-6% and throws an error saying it's not compatible, even though I seem to have selected a FRD-L04 compatible Nougat package. So I gave up on that.
I'm a bit surprised to read comments that OTA update has been pushed even after downgrading to MarshMallow several times. I downgraded sometime around March and haven't received OTA update not even once (in the US).

Are you using Firmware Finder proxy / DNS method to install update or simply using dload?

I used "dload" method.

Ah dload won't work to install the Nougat update.
As I said, unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP recovery. Then install those zip files from TWRP as you would install a custom ROM. However, instead of installing B360, you can install B385 update to be on the latest version. Use Firmware Finder to download the update but ensure that the update is FullOTA-MF-PV as shown in the screenshot attached.
Or if you don't want to unlock the bootloader, then no problem. When you hit the firmware in Firmware Finder, along with Download there are other options too. Select 'Get an update through DNS' and follow the instructions.

You won't get any Nougat upgrade notification until you update your device up to B162 which is the last MM version for your FRD-L04C567.
If your device is stock and locked you just need to push the B162 FullOTA (version 66280) using Firmware Finder proxy installation method. Then you should get the B360 update notification. But if for some weird reason the notification doesn't come up automatically, then go ahead and push the B360 FullOTA (version 72309) using the same FF proxy method. For B385 (version 83098) it will be the same procedure.
I've done it myself before and it works.

This is the method that finally worked for me!
I updated to B162 via Firmware Finder and then I got the B360 update automatically.
Thanks a lot!

My phone doesn't get ota updates

Hello, i have unlocked and rooted Mate 9 L29C432B182. After unlocking & rooting first few weeks i get an update to B190 but i didnt update because of TWRP. But then it tried to update itself and stuck on TWRP screen. I reboot my phone back and it was gone. And i never get ota updates. I want to update to emui 8. Or should i update?
First you need to flash back stock recovery, download firmware (C432B182 in your case) from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ and extract RECOVERY using Huawei Update Extractor then flash the extracted recovery image using fastboot.
Next see if you can use Firmware Finder to update.
And you won't be able to update to Oreo using regular OTA, unless you are approved for beta. Official Oreo should release sometime in December.

BKL-L04 stuck on 9.0.0.201

Earlier this year when Pie was first rolling out for the US View 10, I updated to the unapproved 9.0.0.201 firmware using a no check recovery and firmware finder. It updated successfully and has been working since, but I haven't been able to install any OTA updates, not even manually with HiSuite or with the dload method. Is there any way for me to update to an approved, up to date firmware?
