So I downloaded the latest firmware image (WW-31.0810.1226.154-1.1.213-2303) and copied it to the root of the phone and rebooted, but instead of detecting the update file as usual and prompting to update, nothing happened. Phone currently has the last month's update to Android 13 (WW-33.0210.0210.200) and is rooted/bootloader unlocked.
Is the current month update meant for Android 12 only? Now I notice the version number is less than the one I have, and the changelog just says it has the Google security patch for May.

Hi, about a year ago i tested some custom rom's, but i had some problem with them so i came back to Stock ROM, stock bootloader, locked the bootloader. Im using it from then, and it runs fine, im happy with it. But my problem is that my security updates are from: 1st September 2017, my EMUI is: 5.0.1 and Android 7.0 - NXT-L29C432B582. HiSuite tells me that my system is up-to-date same as i click to check for updates in phone settings. Is that normal, or i am not getting the updates for some reason? If so how can i restore them?
I have been working on my mom's Galaxy S8+ trying to fix this issue and can't for the life of me get anywhere. She purchased a new Galaxy S8+ from Swappa and after a month or so have it, started having issues with software updates. She worked with AT&T and Samsung and since the phone was still under warranty, they swapped it out for a new one from Samsung. Well, the new phone is doing the same exact thing so at this point we know it isn't a device specific issue.
Here's what happens:
1. Start up phone and wait about 5 minutes
2. Alert comes in that a software update is available
3. Tape Update now
4. Phone reboots and installs updates - states that update was installed successfully.
5. Wait 5-10 more minutes and get another alert that a software update is available.
6. Repeat 2-5 until you drive yourself insane.
At this point I have tried wiping the cache, installing the update and shutting the phone off and again, wiping the cache, turning off OTA updates. Nothing seems to work. At this point I am tempted to download Android 9.0 and do a manual install using Odin. Is that not recommended?
Currently the phone is running the following:
Samsung G955U
Android Version: 8.0.0
Samsung Experience: 9.0
Kernel: 4.4.78
Build: R16NW
Android Security Patch level: August 1, 2018
EDIT: It looks like this may be normal, actually. After checking versions again after yet another update I noticed that the security version went to October 1, 2018. After that it updated again and then went to November 1, 2018. It looks like I just need to keep doing this until it gets through them all.
Hi everyone.
I just bought a Pixel 4a and I enrolled in Android 12 Beta version updates and I got on Android 12 Beta, but then I decided to get back to Android 11. I did the flashing with the flashing tools website and then when the phone started and I got connected to the internet right at the beginning of the setup it says that I need to update my phone (I downloaded the latest factory image for September and flashed it on my phone) it says "Your phone needs to download an update and restart. Size 1617.2MB" when I click Next it gets to updating screen but it gets stuck there no matter how long I wait. I though maybe it is because I did it through the website so I did it manually using this tutorial but I have the same problem.
When I continue without a connection to the internet I can get passed this process and start the phone but when I check for the updates same thing happens.
Did I just broke my phone and I won't be able to get the OTA updates anymore?
no no no... You only have to unsubscribe from the website "android beta 12". Afterwards it will no longer ask for an update and everything will return to normal
I just got this phone, however I realized it was running on Android 11, not there recent Android 12 that came out. I checked and it's still saying it's updated but it isn't. The CSC code is TMK/TMK/VZW. The base version is G975USQU5GUCH, which is a Verizon/Comcast update. What should I do? The phone boots up with the Metro By T-Mobile logo, which is right but it doesn't receive updates.
Updates are patches for already installed Android, in your case Android 11. Updates get rolled out by OEM if they deem it necessary.
I have a small idea on what might be happening
The phone was using a software the carrier never used so when it became from what it was to TMK, they can't find updates to configure it. Is it possible to flash the next update with the correct CSC and it will configure it right?
Also the update screen is different
Does anyone know why if I changed the system with odin from SM-A536U1 to SM-A536U and I didn't get any security or software updates I put android 13 on it, it had android 12 and it stayed on the last android update since November 2022, and I try to update it with odin but I get an error, it stays in fail device info or it does not load anything
