Hi, I bought a oneplus 8 phone from verizon USA I'm from Europe (Romania) and I'm on Orange, I saw that on oxygen update my device is not compatible with local installation, for reasons of state policies that do not allow the user to access the firmware, you can tell me if I will continue to receive the update, that I still have android 10 and I'm afraid I can no longer update
Hello, man how you unlock your sim? I am out of the USA and cannot use with any carrier. Thanks.
You should be on 11 now. It may not be able to update due to not being on Verizon's network. The only way to fix that would be to convert to global but I'm not sure how to do that on a Verizon device as they don't offer the bootloader unlock token service. I know there is a thread about it on here though.

So my cousin bought me a note 5 Verizon model from U.S , the thing is I think I get "software update is temporary unavailable"issue. a quick google concluded that I need a Verizon sim to get OTA updates . I was wondering is there any way I could update it without a Verizon sim , since I could no way get a Verizon sim in the U.K
Thanks

Take your current sim out and try Samsung Smartswitch. Download the one for the PC or Mac and give it a try. If that doesn't work manually update with Odin using these files. You might be out of luck for the monthly security patches but it's not a huge deal as far as I'm concerned.

I have VZW note5 and i'm out of USA, using other carrier.
Connect the Note5 to pc
from MyComputer install Verizon Wireless Software Assistance.
After install successful, you can upgrade it from there
Hi there, new member with a first question.
I bought an S10+ (SM-G975U) online, unlocked, to be used mainly with AT&T when in US, and different carriers when traveling. IMEA check shows the phone was originally on Verizon carrier, but works fine with AT&T sim card. However, it's not receiving OTA software updates, and the security patches are way behind. When I try to force software updates, says it's already up to date. Seems like on unlocked phones, or switched carriers the updates don't happen. I tried booting the phone with a working Verizon sim card, still no updates. Online searches say that flashing the firmware is my best (or only) option. I downloaded Odin, but I still have a lot to learn and don't want to brick my phone. I'm not sure which firmware version to get. AT&T vs Verizon? U or U1 since it's unlocked? Do I flash all 5 files or just some of them?
Thanks.
Hello everyone, this is my first post here.
I have a slight problem. I have an unlocked verizon Note 10+ 5G SM-976V and I changed CSC to GCF a while back because the verizon CSC had bloatware.
Now i have GCF/GCF/VZW. Im stuck on March 1 2020 security patch. The phone works great and everything is working well. I want to upgrade to android 11. That is somewhat not possible because when i try to upgrade from my phone it says, 'Your current software version isnt supported. Visit a service center.'
What firmware is for me? How can i get an firmware that can fix my usual updates? Or if i have upgrade firmware on odin, what version should i be choosing?
I do not live in the US anymore, phone was unlocked on verizon. All sims seem to be working on it. Attaching the files necessary for your study. Please help?

Have a look here for official ota updates from Verizon: https://www.verizon.com/support/samsung-galaxy-note-10-plus-5g-update/
If it does not work and you have an unlocked bootloader, you can flash latest stock firmware with Odin on pc.
Hello, I have bought an LG Velvet ATT unlocked. I cannot update via OTA because I think it needs an ATT account and sim card for it to update via the ATT network but I live in Europe. Can I manually install the OTAs relesed by ATT (although I can't find any ATT ones) or do I have to flash another stock firmware that releses updates without a sim? Would it be possible to flash the Canadian android 11 stock firmware since it has the same model number than ATT LM-G900UM? Obviously the software version numbers are slightly different. I want to keep LGs software because I need it for the pen support.
Thanks in advance
Hello, I would like to preface this by saying that I don't actually live in the US. I got this used unlocked AT&T Galaxy S21+ a few months back and an issue I noticed after using it for a while was the fact I was not receiving any OTA updates due to the fact I was not using an AT&T SIM card.
Now I want to switch AT&T to carrier-free firmware where I will be able to get regular OTA updates automatically
My current specs:
Model: SM-G996U
chip: Snapdragon 888
Baseband version : G996USQU1ATLF
CSC : G996UOYN1ATLF
AP/CP : G996USQU1ATLF
Is it suitable for installation?
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g.../SM-G996U/USC/download/G996USQU5CVDB/1640229/
N.B/: May doing this flash will brick or damage my phone?
On SamMobile, underneath my device model, there list of several firmware labeled with different US carriers. As long as the firmware I flash is under the model number I have (SM-G996U), nothing should break, right?
Please suggest me firmware. I want to get rid of carrier barrier and want to get regular updates automatically safely.
Did you try the rom? I have the same problem
OTA is CSC based. You'd have to use Samkey to unlock the CSC to a unlocked US one.
Flash the u1 xaa firmware. Works on my phone in canada
I have a similar issue!
So I received a refurbished S21+, it is unlocked and all but it has AT&T bloatware and I can't update to oneui 5.0... I live in italy but this phone comes from Germany and apparently has a US AT&T firmware (SM-G996U-OYN-ATT). I was following a tutorial with odin to flash to SM-G996B with ITV, which is the italian version with android 12 and oneui 4.1.1 is it safe to do so and then get the android 13 update the standard way? Could I straight up get android 13 and oneui 5 flashing the most recent rom or is it even worse?
The other solution I thought about is that I could just get the U1 XAA, but i have U for now and I don't quite understand if it's completely risk free or not.

I'm having the same issue with my Samsung S20 Ultra 5G SM-G988U i bought the device yesterday and it accept my local Sim here but the issue is that there is limited features, for example I can't turn On/off my mobile data on and I can't change network mode like selecting from 4G to 5G
