So as you know 3 days ago a small OTA update came out for Verizon which is pretty much the same one AT&T received last month. On wifi I tried to download the update via OTA on the phone, my phone is not rooted and when I tried to download it it just failed in the middle of downloading and I got the error code 503. The wifi I'm using is very fast and steady and nothing else on the phone is having an issue at the moment. So I tried to download it again and it told me that the software currently installed on the phone(original phone release date software) is the newest up to date software. So I called Samsung and told them the situation along with the new build number "VRU1AOD5"(from the new OTA not installed on my phone yet) and software version number currently installed on the phone(5.0.2) and they told me that I'm up to date 5.0.2 and that to their knowledge they never heard of the update or build number I gave them and there was no update for Verizon. So how I can redownload the OTA? because for 3 days now I'm unable to download the OTA due to the 503 error from the very first time I tried to download the update.
What is mind boggling to me is how Samsung the creator of the device has no idea of this update so they can't even help me out. Then they're basically telling me how the hell am I getting the 503 error when I have the latest build(according to them) and software update which is not the case here and I told them that.

I have a samsung s7 edge from at&t and have gone to tmobile followed the steps to putt the stock version of tmobile on it but got a recovery boot loop last night. Finally was able to get a version on at&t back on it of version mmb29m.g935aucs4apl2 but am looking on how to either put tmobiles nougat on it or at least put at&t's nougat back on it every version i had it would give me a sha 256 error or fuse 4 error on the download. Any help would be great it does currently boot with custom on the boot screen i have not superu or anything else since it gave me such a problem yesterday after reading about 8 other forums of unroot stock firm that wouldnt work.

Problem solved found out needed to admin odin, and also ended up partitioning the phone, used firmware SM-G935T_G935TUVU4BQB1. to get me to nougat on tmobile, the 2 biggest errors after i fixed the recovery boot loop by putting older bootloader from marshmallow was sha 256 from not admining odin, and the ext4 error fixed by partitioning the phone and finding the proper firmware
Rooted SGS8+ wont boot up after restart:"only official released binaries are allowed"
Hello People,
I've rooted my SGS8+ almost a year ago. 1 week ago I had to send my phone to the service center because of a dead pixel in my screen.
The service center have replaced the screen and wiped unfortunately all the data.
Ofcourse I want to get rid of all the bloatware again and so I just tried to Root my phone. Everything went fine, I only forgot to place my simcard, which I placed after the root.
And this ofcourse asked me to reboot the phone which I did.
Since then my SGS8+ would not boot anymore and gives the message (above the samsung logo): "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed after reboot", in red text.
So I've looked arround on the internet and can't find really much about this message. Some "solutions" which for me don't work like:
I did download stock firmware from Sammobile, but if I'm trying to flash this firmware it will give me the message: "sw rev check fail device 4 binary 2"
I seriously dont know what to do and I really hope someone could explain me some..
I would like to know why this message even occurs, is it like Samsung trying to stop people from rooting?
And should I leave my phone now for 7 days? And will it boot up after?
I've tried to check other forums but nothing really helped or no real solution for me.
Hope I dont bother you guys.
Kinds regards,
Tom
The same thing has happened for me, though i don't get a fail message in Odin, more or less just that it has failed. Did you ever solve it?
Hello everyone, I bought this phone with Verizon in its original software version, previously it was binary 2 ...
I looked for how to modify it and get the most out of it, but I only found it for the SM-A515F version, I didn't think it would work with my phone, because I couldn't unlock the bootloader ...
so i decided to wait for some modification like: "ROOT, TWRP or Rom"
But time passed and an update arrived that I ignored but 10 days passed and my phone was locked and I was forced to update without any other option.
To my surprise it turned out that my phone was upgraded to binary 3 and I was a little freaked out because I know it can't be downgraded to older binaries,
so i was hoping they would create xda threads soon but nothing, and my surprise was another update came and when it downloaded my phone crashed and the screen specified: "for your safety please update".
and then proceeded to forcibly update ...
And to my surprise, it is now binary 4:
"A515USQU4BTJ1"
November 8 update ...
And now I don't know what future this device will hold for me, I just have to wait ...
I just wanted to share my situation and wait for some brainstorming or answers to this ...
The US versions of this phone will probably never be unlocked. Good luck. Glad you at least had an update.
I bought an unlocked A51 on Amazon ($279) and brought it to Verizon to Activate on their Prepaid service. They told me it couldn't be done. I went to a Verizon Company store (most are mom and pop owned) and was told the same thing. I asked if they would humor me by putting in a working Sim card to show me it doesn't work. To their utter surprise it worked. No issues at all. They immediately added it to my Verizon Account.

There is stuff for F variant but I don't know about U variant. This unlocked bootloader is something that should be now forced. Like I even know 7 year old devices that still dont have an unlocked bootloader.

P.s. I forgot to say one thing. Just be glad that your phone supports 3 years of updates aka till Android 13
Hi everyone.
I just bought a Pixel 4a and I enrolled in Android 12 Beta version updates and I got on Android 12 Beta, but then I decided to get back to Android 11. I did the flashing with the flashing tools website and then when the phone started and I got connected to the internet right at the beginning of the setup it says that I need to update my phone (I downloaded the latest factory image for September and flashed it on my phone) it says "Your phone needs to download an update and restart. Size 1617.2MB" when I click Next it gets to updating screen but it gets stuck there no matter how long I wait. I though maybe it is because I did it through the website so I did it manually using this tutorial but I have the same problem.
When I continue without a connection to the internet I can get passed this process and start the phone but when I check for the updates same thing happens.
Did I just broke my phone and I won't be able to get the OTA updates anymore?
no no no... You only have to unsubscribe from the website "android beta 12". Afterwards it will no longer ask for an update and everything will return to normal
