How to update S8+ from ATT outside the US - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone! I bought an unlocked S8+ from a friend and I'm using it outside the US and I haven't been able to update it, I still got the April security patch. Does anyone know a way to update it. I have already tried to update through settings and it shows that it's update to the last version, even though is not true. Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks!

AT&T has Released Pie for S8, S8+ & Note 8 Today

I got the update this morning on my S8+ So check your Software Update.
https://9to5google.com/2019/03/29/a...s8-note-8-android-pie-update-rolling-out-now/
Got the new one UI pie update on my S8+ this morning. Finally happening and sooner than I thought AT&T would push the update. Now onto learning some new settings.
I am not seeing any OTA update, I think its because I am on beta version of android pie. Can any one point me how to get back to regular updates from beta ??
I have the SM-G955U, I'm with cricket but its an At&t phone. I don;t think I'm going to get the update.
i live out of usa and have s8 plus g955u att unlocked on oreo - how can i update cuz i cant get it ota ? can anybody help?
Nope
I still haven't gotten the update on my AT&T S8+. I'm not sure what's going on but every time I go to check for the update it just says, "Current software is up to date". I even went as far as backing up my data and doing a complete factory restore and checking for the update and got the same thing. I know there have been some posts on here regarding using ODIN and using the Sprint or T-Mobile versions to update. Is this still the best option and are there any known issues by doing this?
Thanks guys!
I still haven't got the update on my ATT Samsung S8+ Unlocked. I am from the PH. Is there any way to force update the software?

questions about my Galaxy S8 U.S unlocked version

Hello guys,
I bought my Galaxy S8 last year from BestBuy New York, and I need your help to figure out my issues:
- Is there a different between SM-G950U and SM-G950U1? My phone is SM-G950U1.
- I currently live in UK and till now I haven't received the last software update -Android Pie- that I'm supposed to get in late April! and have't received any security patches updates either!!
- Bixby voice is not working at all, it stopped working 4 months ago and I don't know why! I talked to Samsung US and Samsung UK and they have no clue, we tried many different way to fix it but we had no luck. I factory reset my device twice without any success either.
So please you're my last hope here to solve my issues. I'm ready to answer any questions that you might have in mind regarding my phone.
Thanks,
Yusuf.

There's almost no chance you're going to find out why you're not getting updates. If your phone isn't updating automatically you can either download the entire latest firmware and flash it with Odin or go to firmware.science and download the individual OTA files then flash them in recovery manually one by one.

More than likely you don't have that original carrier sim in it. My Verizon phone won't get updated on my daughter's TracFone sim. But when i pop in the Verizon sim it updates

I know that if I come back to U.S and insert any SIM from any major mobile company it'll be updated immediately, however, when I was in Saudi Arabia - my home country - lat year, it updated to Oreo back then, so why I got the update while I'm in Saudi and not in UK?

At&t Samsung s10 plus not updating in Canada

hi guys
I have At&t samsung s10 plus wont do any updates from Canada, im stuck with android 9 the o.s it came with,every time i try to update it tells me its up to date.
Smart Switch is no help it tells me phone is up to date also
any way around this?
I had updated at&t s7 and s8 in past in Canada and recently update Verizon s10 5g to andriod 10 in Canada.
you can try update on different wifi network or clear catche and try a update, else you can do it by Odin easily.

Maybe it hasn't been pushed to your device yet, there are plenty of people out there that haven't received the update yet.
If you don't have the patience to wait, then I suggest using Odin to update it manually.

You do understand that it can take several weeks to receive an update once released? Every company does a rolling update so it only hits so many devices at a time just in case there are reports of severe issues, they can pull it. You don't know which server your device for an update is sitting on with AT&T.
Patience is the key where updates are concerned, and it's better to sit back and see what the issues are over having to get the latest and greatest buggy software on your device instantly.

It wiped everything that AT&T had placed on the phone, the apps that are on my phone now are standard google apps
its as if the phone came from Samsung, no affiliation with any cellphone company.

I think what he is asking if it cleared all your apps that you already had installed and all your data.... Not the kind of apps you now you have.
XSP update isn't available yet for 10, it was then it disappeared which tells me it was pulled by Samsung most likely due to some issues.

I live in Canada and I've an unlocked Samsung galaxy S10+ and I've yet to receive the latest updates. My last update was December 1st and it was G975FXXSEFUL1. I don't even have the security patch for January or February NO updates yet for 2022.. I am a life long Samsung buyer and after this stall and potentially leaving me open to infiltration I'm not amused and will be trying a Apple for the 1st time, BYE BYE SAMSUNG THE BLUES

Help With old Update

Hey Their guys. I recently bought a one plus 6t off of Amazon. I was a refurbished model. It came running oxygenOS 9.0.11. I am very concerned as the security patch is from December 2018. When I go to the updater page it shows that the phone is up to date even though I'm on an old security patch and old version of oxygen. If you guys could walk me through the updating process that would be awesome. Also the build number is ONEPLUSA6013_34_181226.

Please read through this thread, starting with this post, and see if it relates to your phone. If it does, head to post one and see how to determine if your phone is T-mobile branded or T-mobile changed to international. Then it gets really simple.

Once you are sure which state your phone is in, you will be able to search out which Upgrades to download manually, and how to install them from the phone itself.

S8 Active Help (Baseband version is G892AUCS2AQL1)

Hello guys. As I do not live in the USA, i do not have a AT&T SIM and my phone never got any updates. Initially, it was on baseband version G892AUCU1AQG4. Till recently, I was stuck in this version. I managed to update to G892AUCS2AQL1 using links from a Russian forum. But, the SS-G892AUCS2AQL1-to-S2ARA1-UP.zip is corrupted and so I cannot update beyond this. I would be highly thankful if anyone could help me find a working copy of this file.
