Please update if you receive any updates

I don't think any US model has been updated yet. I'm hoping for sometime this week.

All of the US models (U &U1) are still stuck on July.... No August updates yet. You really are on the most current version for U1.
I suspect the carriers will push out the August patch in the next few weeks (and most likely plugging the recently published root exploit and updating the bootloader), with the U1 following a few weeks after that, as that's how it's gone so far.

It has now AQH3.

The most recent is August 30

What is the difference between U and U1?

It's QH3.
Updato.com is where I always search for firmware. They're pretty up to date and have good download times.

U are the carrier version models
U1 are the unlocked models.
You can flash U1 fw with Odin and have smoother, no bloat firmware but you lose volte and wifi calling.

I have U1 and have VOLTE on Verizon. Just have to enable it on your account online... Then the option shows up in settings after a reboot.

Please Reply!
And since my dumbass deleted the account I used BEFORE resetting my U1 im trying to figure out how to get past FRP since google wouldnt help! And hoping i can still root and try other roms but i seriously just want to get back to samsung stock s8 U1 firmware and not brick it
Can anyone point me to a relevant thread or share your experience, pm me if need be, i understand the stigma of this situation.

[Q] Where's my 'Unlocked UK' galaxy note 4 lollipop update ?

Hi,
I've bought a new unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and I thought it did receive the lollipop update by now.. but when I checked if there's an update or not, it says to me that I got the latest update !!
I've got the KitKat 4.4.4 and my baseband version is N910FXXU1ANK4.
does this seems to be right or there's something wrong with my device ?!
I want to mention that in the beginning I put a non-UK sim and it said to me that the device is locked 'I think because I have to put a UK sim first', then when I change it to a UK sim it worked normally ... can this be the reason of not getting the update ?
Have you connected it through Kies yet? That's how I updated mine

The Vodafone Lollipop rom has been released ahead of the BTU (Network Free) rom.
Do you use the preinstalled network bloat? If not, then why not download an unbranded 5.0.1 from samfirmware. The DBT should be still the same, just change the language to English during setup...
Yup I bought the UK (international) unlocked version last week, and mine is still on kit kat 4.4.4. Keeps saying this is the latest version. I did email Samsung asking if they could just clear the confusion for me as to whether the lollipop update had been released yet. They just replied with instructions on how to go to settings and check for updates. I replied saying that was not what I asked. I know how to check for updates, I'm not thick. I just wanted to know if android 5 had been released for the unlocked unbranded version. Still waiting for reply ?

Yes, you don't need root and it will NOT trip knox. Download the firmware from samfirmware.com, on the download page, there is an instruction. It is very simple and easy.
If you look at sammobile.com it seems half the world has the update. Samsung doing a lousy job of keeping us updated.

1. Use Updato.com, MUCH faster
2. Good luck finding att fw anywhere unless someone has posted it here like in the link.
3. I'd just run the unlocked XAA FW if I were you. If you're not in att why run their fw with all their bloat?

You want the XAA that's at the top of the page. Yes, it updates like any other.

identifying proper firmware

This has to be a complete newb question but how come when I search on sammobile or updato there isn't an AT&T firmware under SM-G950U, but rather it's always under SM-G950U1?
Example - SamMobile for U1 -- lists AT&T firmware
But SamMobile for SM-G950U, although it lists several carriers, does not have AT&T.
Background: My wife and I both got AT&T branded S8s. I got mine through Samsung.com, she got hers through Best Buy. Mine had no problems receiving OTAs. Hers is still stuck with software from April and will not receive OTA updates nor will it update via SmartSwitch, so I was just going to flash latest AT&T via odin, but only seeing software under 950U1, I just wanted to make sure I was downloading the right one (currently this one, I believe)
@mhh84,
You can download the .zip files for AT&T updates from here, and ADB sideload them > https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s8/how-to/adb-sideload-servers-t3647117
Thanks but I'm not sure that answered my question or helped me. Her phone is on April security patch. The page you linked seemed to have incremental updates but doesn't go back to April.

OK, thanks @cam30era. I'm still a little unclear about my initial question though. Is the answer that AT&T firmwares aren't available or that for some reason they all just are classified under U1? I guess I want to know why it's better to do 5 incremental updates like this rather than just grabbing the August AT&T firmware from updato/sammobile. That was my original plan. I just got confused why the AT&T showed up under U1 rather than U.

I can't tell you the "why", but from observation I can tell you that there are no Odin download links for AT&T firmware updates after April. Using @norbarb thread for ADB sideload appears to be the only way to update if you're not getting OTAs.

S10+ AT&T USA Updates

Good night guys,
I just bought a S10+ unlocked but originally from AT&T the problem is that the phone is out of the Network and I can't get the FOTA updates (It has 1 Feb. Security patch) :crying:.
And I want to know another option to update the phone to the latest security patch.
Any help is really appreciated,
Thanks in advance.
Here you go.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/tool-frija-samsung-firmware-downloader-t3910594
Just download it,unzip it run the exe type in the phone model and the ATT and click downloaded.
If you want to receive OTA updates on your phone you either need to flash the carrier free U1 firmware (in which case you will receive OTA updates from Samsung) or flash firmware for your carrier. AT&T doesn't send updates to phones when there is AT&T firmware but no AT&T SIM.
You could also manually flash updates that you download from Frija but if you don't have AT&T service you should get rid of their firmware. It's designed to make you regret switching from AT&T and can cause an assortment of problems when used with a different carrier's SIM card.

Frija is crap. It has NEVER found firmware for me.
Go to updato.com or Sammobile and download the G975U1 firmware.(https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...SM-G975U1/ATT/download/G975U1UES2BSI4/291515/) (It's the unlocked, bloat free firmware. You'll lose text/call over wifi) Flash it with the newest modded Odin (https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4446947&d=1521037501) and flash away. You'll always stay up to date then

They're not ROMs. They're stock firmwares.
Do you want carrier bloat? Download G975U firmware. You won't find att firmware but it's all inclusive. Download VZW firmware and it'll instal carrier bloat based on installed firmware.
If you want no bloat, go with G975U1 firmware. XAA is true carrier free (but on the U1 it doesn't matter which code you use)

Probably not if you have AT&T firmware. Smart Switch downloads firmware from Samsung's servers but AT&T is the only carrier who does not allow it's firmware on Samsung servers. AT&T updates are only stored on AT&T's own servers.

If you mix and match firmware like you suggest then you need to manually flash all future updates because you will not receive any OTA updates ever. That's fine if you like flashing firmware but isn't a good idea if you don't.
Not sure who told you that but I've been bouncing between various firmwares and models through the years and never had to continually manually flash.
The only way that would happen to you is if you dirty flash one over another without factory resetting. Which everyone knows you shouldn't be doing for reasons like that.

If you flash a build number different from what is officially offered by your carrier or via U1 then you stop getting OTA updates because you are running an unnoficial build that the OTA server doesn't recognize . The US carriers are often on slightly different build numbers and the U1 build numbers are rarely the same as the carrier builds. If you mix and match S10+ firmware odds are you won't get automatic OTA updates again until you flash complete firmware that matches the exact build offered by your carrier or U1.
That's common knowledge and has been discussed thoroughly in the firmware threads and also on the Frija thread.

Then why has every phone I've had (S6, S7E+, s8, s8+, s9+, S10+) received ota updates if I flash U1 firmware on them? It would even receive them fine going from U1 to U...
I'll specify cause maybe you're confused. If I'd flash over my current fw without wiping data and using the Home CSC I wouldn't get OTAs. But that's just dumb to do...
If I flash with Odin, non-home CSC then wipe data/factory reset on recovery it would.
Yet, you're saying it shouldn't have?

Att s10+ Update

Which path should I take from the At&t latest firmware update G975USQS2ASI6 to get to the Oneui 2.0 beta

You can't get to One UI 2 beta on the AT&T firmware because that's Android 10 beta and AT&T didn't opt into the Samsung beta program. You'll have to wait until the final OTA update release OR flash the unlocked U1 firmware or the T-mobile firmware. I think you can it that way.

Your best bet is www.Sammoble.com. It is a slow download unless you have paid account, but it works.
I have the ATT version, but I cannot receive updates via FOTA, because I live abroad and I am not connected to the ATT network, some way or way to receive updates without having to use ODIN.
The last question.
I can Flash U1 having the N975U ATT Version, is there any risk to do this?

Just the one that comes with the rom you download. It will set up right by your sim card.
The latest rom I have is BSIV before I started receiving Beta FOTA's which are now up to ZSK9. I used the noname rom and it setup for me as VZW/VZW/VZW. Even if it sets up as XXX/XXX/ATT it will work great.
Beta 4 G975USQU2ZSK9 came out today. Its on firmware.science Login in first.

You would have had to be on Pie G975USQS2BSI4 to install the first, Beta 1 and then on up the line to now Beta 4 You cannot install Beta on your current version of BSIW because there is no download file for doing it. that I know of.
