Problem updating device software automatically in samsung galaxy s5

Hi XDEVS,
I am using Samsung galaxy S5 (SM-G900F), Android 5.0. Since last few months my OS software doesnt find its new update automatically where I kept "Check update automatically & Download automatic via wifi" turned on (I am attaching a screenshot). But when I reset my device & then I check for new update, it shows me I have new updates available. So, I need to reset my device every time to check for latest update & it is so much annoying to set up my device as my way again & again. One of my friends using another Galaxy S5 & yesterday he informed me that his device been updated in "MARSHMALLOW" 6.0 and mine is showing nothing.
If anybody there who have solutions of my problem, please do help me out and your every help is highly appreciable.
Thanks in advance.
** If you need information about my device and recently running software version, I am attaching some screenshots of them.

Help needed: S8+ stuck on AQJ5 and not receiving OTAs since relocation

Hi folks.
I have a carrier unlocked S8+ purchased in Singapore. I received a few OTAs while I was there, but have since relocated to the US and I haven't received any OTAs since AQJ5, which was the October security patch. Manual check and the system says I have the latest, which I obviously don't, and even using Smart Switch doesn't trigger an update. I recently did a factory reset with my AT&T US sim installed hoping it might trigger an update, and tried without a sim too. Neither worked.
Complicating factor is I don't have access to a Windows machine to use Odin, I only have a Mac. I tried looking into Jodin3, but so far as I can tell that program is no longer operational.
I need help with any suggestions on how I can trigger an update, OR for someone to share an appropriate update.zip(s) which I can load to my phone from the SD Card to get me up to Oreo from AQJ5...
Model number: SM-G955FD (Exynos)
Carrier unlocked
Current software version: g955fxxu1aqj5/g955foxm1aqj5/g955fxxu1aqj5
Any suggestions from you all would be appreciated. I've spent weeks googling for ideas.
Thanks

Need help removing the Custom ROM FRP (SM-G930W8)

I need help removing the custom ROM FRP lock in my S7 but i don't know the CSC or what carrier it was originally form as i got it used, anyone who can help would be in my debt. i should note that the Smart Switch method doesn't work as it wont connect properly via USB.
I am open to any and all solutions and/or alternatives.
would it be easier to just send it in or buy a octoplus stick?
EDIT: I don't have anything important on it so I'm fine if i have to reformat or wipe the PIT
EDIT2: I think it may have been Bell but I'm not 100% sure

I'm not sure what do you mean, you mean:
You have a custom ROM that has a FRP Lock? if so, then you probably have TWRP, which makes it super easy to solve!
You have a stock ROM, but you tried to play with OS probes and ended up with an error regards uncertified modifications? Then it's also easy to solve, check the internet, there are guaranteed ways of passing FRP even on Binary 8 Firmware.
The 2nd methods works if you can actually boot into system*
You may check the recovery and the logs to find what Firmware is on your phone, and which CSC/PDA it has, and yes, the stock recovery has the ability to show you them.

Long story short, I deleted my Samsung account and was forced to remove my reactivation lock manually. This got me onto the idea of turning my watch into a backup storage for my KeePass DB, so far I have de bloated the firmware and installed an ssh server with working users and ftp. In the future I am planing to make a "disable reactivation lock on startup" and a on the fly CSC chnager to make samsung pay work, or to change the watch to your country. If anyone is interested in this and would like me to post my work please tell me, I may port it over to the gear s3 as well.

Samsung Gear S2 SM-R720 Mods

Long story short, I deleted my Samsung account and was forced to remove my reactivation lock manually. This got me onto the idea of turning my watch into a backup storage for my KeePass DB, so far I have de bloated the firmware and installed an ssh server with working users and sftp. In the future I am planing to make a "disable reactivation lock on startup" so you dont have to flash the combination and a on the fly CSC changer to make samsung pay work, or to change the watch to your country. If anyone is interested in this and would like me to post my work please tell me, I may port it over to the gear s3 as well.

I'd be interested in this, especially for the "you dont have to flash the combination and a on the fly CSC changer to make samsung pay work, or to change the watch to your country"
The only thing I'd be curious on is the warranty/knox fuse. Would it avoid the "your device has been modified and can't access samsung pay" that I'm seeing in the related thread to change one's country setting?
