I have an ATT S8+. I sideloaded the August security patch but decided to flash stock ATT firmware using ODIN. Everything went smooth and ended on AQF7 which is the June Security Patch. However now my phone does not receive OTA updates anymore. No matter what I do I cannot receive them. Am I stuck manually sideloading them?
Thanks.

Sorry, if it's been asked but I couldn't find an answer.
I have Verizon Pixel working on TMobile. bootloader is unlocked, phone is rooted and has TWRP installed. It is also updated to 7.1.1 via OTA. It currently has NMF26O firmware.
How do I update to NMF26Q? I get nothing via software check on the phone probably because it's rooted or on T-Mobile network.
Thanks for the help.
You can download it from:
https://developers.google.com/android/ota
And update using adb sideload

That's what I thought. Do you know if update wipes everything and I need to reroot and TWRP.

I would wait till Tuesday when the January update comes out. Only have to do it once. And the update is for overseas. Don't need it for T Mobile.
Why do you want NMF26Q? If you are not on O2 or China Unicom there's nothing there for you.
I have the Verizon pixel on Verizon and I personally would not install it, I did and I was having freezing and rebooting issues with a clean install. Plus like everyone else is saying, the newest security update will be
Thank you all.
I would wait for the January update, too.
FWIW, I fastboot flash-all updated to 26Q the day it came out. Works fine here....
Is it possible to flash June update NGK47L for TMobile on NH 47TH verizon
So I have an Exynos GS7 (SM-G930F) in France.
I have since 2 months. When I received it I had an OTA update, nothing since then.
My phone is telling me I'm up-to-date : https://lut.im/1qIAxIm0mp/odY0swWUqfnLbWCy.png and Smart Switch too.
However according to Sammobile, at least 3 firmwares have been released since then : https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G930F/XEF/
A month ago, I rooted it without unlocking the bootloader, and I reflashed the firmware after via Odin to unroot it. I don't know if it's related.
It is possible to get the .zip from the OTAs to apply the updates manually, or any other method to get updates ?
Hi.
I have a G955U Galaxy S8+ AT&T Factory Unlocked on Android 7.0
Baseband Version: G955USQU1AQD9
Android Security Patch Level - April 1, 2017
I no longer live in the US, and currently in the Philippines. Phone works great and the signal is too and all, but I cannot get OTA updates.
Can I just download the firmware file in this thread and flash straight through ODIN, or do I need to follow another guide?
Thanks in advance
You can, however there are specific sequences to follow, so you have to update in firmware released order.
I encountered the same problem so I downloaded odin that worked for Nougat and loaded all version to BRB1 I think it is and then went to Oreo. Currently on CRC5.
Another note, when you are about to hit Oreo you will need to download the odin that works for Oreo. It can be found in the CRC5 thread.
Happy Updating

Is this really necessary?
I want to update to Oreo as well but since I'm AT&T unlocked and not currently using AT&T network I'm stuck in the June software update so I'll have to flash like 7-8 firmware updates and each one being about 2-3 GB to download.
Also, is there any stock Samsung firmware I can download so I can avoid having to manually flash every software update? Or am I just stuck with the AT&T firmware?
Thanks in advance.
I'm also having this problem. Need to flash the updates through ODIN but I can't find every single stock file leading up to BR9 on this site. Do I really have flash them all? Or is there another way?
What I want to do: I was trying to OTA update my phone software to the latest, but it seems I am behind on many updates. On the AT&T website, I saw that I need the previous updates installed first, in order to get the latest ones. I have to go in order.
Problem: Every-time I try to do a software update from the settings, it says “Current software is up to date.” It’s been saying that for over a year now. I can’t even get the updates from last year.
So is there a way I can flash one of the stock firmware updates from last year on to my phone with Odin and see if it will fix the ‘over the air’ updates? Or can I just skip to the most recent firmware and flash that one.
By the way, I have never done anything like this to my phone before, so I am a bit nervous, but I want to get this problem fixed so I would love if someone helped me out. I did see some articles online about flashing stock firmware, that’s how I learned about Odin.
If this is doable, can someone please link me to a thorough tutorial on this process? If it isn’t, can you guys recommend another way of getting to the latest 8.0 stock firmware?

You can Odin flash CRG3 and the next OTA should be CRHI, so once you go thru settings, check for updates it should want to go to CRHI. And then you should be in the Update path to receive OTA's automatically

Thanks, so is it okay to flash it with the latest version of Odin? Also, do you mind linking me with an up to date / reliable tutorial on this? This is my first time attempting to do something like this.
One more thing, on Sammobile, there is only one firmware available for at&t, and it's the oldest one.

Okay, and is it okay if I flash from a firmware from May 2018? It's about 4 months old. Would I be able to OTA update from there on? Also, what is AT&T userdata? I came across it in this thread and I was wondering. https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s8+/how-to/g955u-att-stock-odin-files-firmware-t3769140

Yes you can use this firmware and start to receive updates, User data I'm not 100% sure but I think its supposed to flash your data so you wont have to reinstall everything but I heard it dosent work for At&t it will still do a complete wipe before install.

I flashed it and it works great so far. Thanks for all the help! The OTA update also seems to be working!
Today I noticed that OnePlus has the 9.5.7 update on their site, and I was curious if there any drawbacks to using that instead of waiting for the OTA. For context, I keep my phone stock unrooted with the T-Mobile firmware so I'm mostly concerned about being able to get future T-Mobile OTAs. Are there any reasons I should avoid applying the update before the OTA comes?
This may be a moot point, since the T-Mobile firmware doesn't have the easy button to install a local update and I'm too lazy for ADB and all that.

My guess is that you should never simply flash an international OTA over a stock TMo OP7p... Otherwise, we probably wouldn't see all the threads in XDA about converting a TMo OP7p to the unlocked OP7p!
