I do not receive updates via OTA - Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers

Update my A8 via ODIN a few months ago and now it does not receive updates via OTA. It is worth mentioning that utlice ROM of Sammobile and also my phone is an international version.
Does anyone know what happens or why?

Did unlock bootloader or are you rooted?

Xt1541 ota

I've got a XT1541 8GB with LPI23.72-22 firmware Spain retail version. I've seen the retail firmware in the firmware's post but i haven't got the ota just yet. Has anyone with this device got the OTA? Is there any other way to install it? Downloading from motorla website and flashing maybe? Im on stock unrooted.
Also i would like to know if I stay on stock recovery and root the phone, will unrooting it before updating be enough to capture ota's without any problem? And then root again by temporarily boot into twrp?
Thanks for the help.
I have a different model but root won't stop you from downloading and capturing the OTA. I was able to capture the OTA even though I was rooted and updated while rooted. To be on the safe side, it would probably be best to unroot though. Before I rebooted after the OTA, I went into the cache and saved a copy of the OTA.

So as long as i keep stock recovery and I unroot before updating i wont have any truble right?
Is motorola sending the OTA or my carrier? Because i got the unlocked phone on amazon and my carrier is not selling phones or giving them with a contract.
Anyway i think im gonna go for cyanogenmod as soon as it gets official support.

Right, you shouldn't have any problems. Motorola will be sending out the update, not your carrier. You probably wouldn't have any trouble updating while rooted, but to be on the safe side it wouldn't hurt. You'll have to root again after the update anyway, so you may as well un-root before the update.

Phone not receiving updates : updating with .zip via recovery ?

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 ?

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

If you have the U1 variant with unlocked bootloader, you can download latest firmware for your device e.g. with Frija and flash it with Odin.
If you have the U variant with locked bootloader, then you have to wait for Verizon to provide the OTA updates.
i upgraded my galaxy s10e (exynos) to one ui 3.1 and it's showing a lot of lag, and the camera takes time to open and take a picture. (Can anyone help me with this) ? is its performance normal with the one ui 3.1?
reboot in recovery mode (phone needs to be connected with computer by USB), wipe cache followed by repair apps.

To receive OTA updates (from Verizon), you have to stay on original Verizon firmware.
If you are sure that there is already an update available from Verizon, and you do not get it over the air, then contact Verizon support.
Flashing a firmware of another device model into your phone may brick it and you will lose any warranty and support.

1. The U1 model does NOT have an unlocked bootloader.
2. You can manually upgrade either model via the exact same process: download firmware via Frija or wherever and flash in Odin. Waiting for OTA is *never* required
