Hello,
I need help with my S9+ from ATT. It is still stuck at Android 8.0. I am no longer with ATT and am no longer in the US (Asia now). When i try to do a software update on my phone, it says it is already on the latest update.
How am I able to get the latest update? I have yet to try Odin as I am new to it and am scared that it will brick my phone. Is there any firmware and guide on how to put it to my phone? If successful updated to android9.0, how am i going to get oneUI and subsequent updates?
Is it also possible to make my att phone into a phone that is directly bought from samsung store? So that I am able to get updates directly from samsung?
Please advise. Thanks.
Regards

Hi ,
I am a new android user and have never used odin before. My ATT S8+ is on CRD7 software right now which I downloaded from Samsung science firmware website. I would like to know how I can update to latest ATT release so that I can receive OTA updates in future. Would appreciate if someone can provide me with download links and steps to install the software.
Thanks,
Unless you have modified the phone in some way, you should not need to do anything to receive OTA updates.
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: Everytime 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 firmwares, 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?
My phone right now:
Galaxy S8 plus (AT&T)
Model#: SM-G955U
Android version: 7.0
Baseband version: G955USQS1AQF7
Android security patch level: June 1, 2017
Kernel version: 4.4.16-11449429

If you are using the AT&T S8+ outside of the USA, you will not get any OTA updates due to AT&T update policy. What you want to do is flash the Unlocked firmware and you will be good. Search for carrier switching thread and follow it.

Thanks for responding!
I managed to flash an older firmware from 4 months ago and I was able to OTA update to the recent one. https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...lternative-t3844887/post77673505#post77673505
Software update for s8+
Please where can I get latest software update for Samsung galaxy s8+ model number SM-G955U
Can someone send me the official link for the official stable Pie update? Cuz my phone which is Unlocked AT&T Note 8 has a problem updating.
When I go into settings>>software update>> it always says "Current software is up to date". Same thing happens when I use Samsung Smart Switch on Windows it says the same thing.
I would try to flash the .zip file on the stock recovery.
I would provide the other details below if you need cuz I'm unsure what update file should I use. Thanks!!
There are threads available to help you with that, just need to do a little bit of searching.

Affirmative!
When the August security update comes out for the U.S., will my Cricketwireless SIM allow me to get the AT&T update? Or, do I have to put an AT&T SIM in the phone. Could I just take the SIM out & connect to wifi instead?
Thanks.
Hi all, i wanted to ask I flashed an update through odin android 10 with G973usqu2cskp build number Am I still going to get OTA updates i have an galaxy s10 g973U us at&t version unlocked i use it in europe my status is official and is not rooted

Hi, i reveived the same phone att unlocked, I did an OTA update search but it does not receive the android 10 update....i think you have to change the csc code or alway update manally....I'm not happy about this...
Hi, I received a replacement phone from my phone carrier and I'm unable to receive OTA updates and I can't update it using the computer. I'm not sure how to update it using Odin, or what version of firmware I should use. I am sure that the phone has never been updated because it's on the July 2020 update. It is unlocked but was previously on ATT. I am a Tmobile customer, and I'm not sure if I should use Tmobile or ATT? Should I flash all of the updates in order to catch up, or just the latest? Thank you so much for all of your help.
Hi use Samsung Phone info app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo.plus&hl=en_US&gl=US
With this app you can see phone region code and more, that way you can see firmware that you will need and go to samsung firmware page and download the latest one available...
