HI all,
A friend of mine bought me a Samsung S8+ SM-955U from China. The phone is working fine but I have never received any software update. I am still on Android 7.0. When I try to manually update the phone it says " The latest update have already been installed.". The current version is g955USQS1AQI6/G955UOYN1AQI6/955USQS1AQI6.
The phone is unlocked and I am using it in South Africa and my carrier is Vodacom SA.
Please I need help to update the phone cause I cannot use features such as Wifi Calling.
Please find below details about the phone:
Device Name : Galaxy S8+
Model number: SM-G955U
Android version: 7.0
Samsung Experience version: 8.1
Android security patch level: 1 Auguste 2017
Baseband version: 955USQS1AQI6
Thank you in advance for your help.
Kind regards.

I have a Cricket branded Galaxy S6 model number: SAMSUNG-SM-G920AZ currently running Android version: 6.0.1 with Build number: G920AZTUS6CQB3. I don't believe Cricket is going to release Android 7 Nougat for the Galaxy S6 OTA so is it possible to flash another carrier's S6 firmware (like AT&T) without bricking my phone. And if so, how would I go about doing it?
You cant because ther is no TWRP for this model.
Hey guys,
I have the unlocked sprint galaxy s8+ with the firmware/build number 955U1UEU1AQH3. I have a friend who has the same galaxy s8+ for At&t and it seems they have the 7.1.1 update. Also have a family member that has a note with 7.1.1 version on it and they have an unlocked verizon version. Why is the official unbranded samsung firmware not updated to any of the new software versions? Its confusing that there aren't any updates from 7.0 - 7.1.1. I am only seeming to get Android Security Patch Level updates, which is currently August 1, 2017.
Am I suppose to get the AT&T branded version OS in order to retrieve the latest real updates instead of patches? Is this a better option? If so, Id like to do so but keep my data without losing any of my apps and data, and also have a debloated version of the AT&T s8+ OS.
Please advise, thanks.
OP: Please move to Galaxy s8+ specific thread. Chose the wrong forum section

Tried HiSuite?
Open app 'Support' and in there click 'Updates'
C900 will not get updates and most likely your warranty is not valid. You need to buy a "service" to change your region to C431
