Two questions:
Do you have an AT&T sim card in the phone and are you connected to WiFi?
Has the phone ever been rooted or have the system files been modified in any way?

If you have an att Sim card and are factory stock unrooted, download the update its a cfg, rename it to a zip file and put on SD card, boot into recovery by holding up volume as it boots, then apply update from SD card

This has been covered many times sense the update came out over a month ago. The update is with Samsung Keis only. You will need to use a PC to update. Please search before opening a new thread.
hello my friend has been asking me some questions about this device apparently she is being promped for an OTA update.
she bought the phone off ebay and it was already flashed to page plus,. shes asking if the OTA will do any harm to the phone?
I have experience flashing Samsung devices to page plus but I have never come in contact with the HTC ONE. before. so im unsure what to do?
or even what the new OTA will do.
im a little confused as to why the ota is even avalible ot her if she is on pageplus network and not on sprint.
can anyone help?

I have a One flashed to Page Plus and received the software notification on Monday. I went ahead and allowed it to update after talking with my expert flasher . it didn't mess anything up on mine. It was just a software update, and I have Android 4.3 on there....
Yep you can take the update, and if it breaks anything we can fix it. My guide covers the entire flash process. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601943
P.S. - It will not break anything go ahead and do the OTA (Its a software update that fixes profile and prl update issues) something that does not affect you on PagePlus
Need Help with Sprint HTC One unlocked to Pageplus
Please help me get my phone working...it won't allow me to send mms! I don't know if it needs to be flashed because it was only unlocked?

I'm trying to use Odin to Fix my soft bricked i537 AT&T version, however I can't find the stock firmware for the S4 active anywhere. Can you please send me a link if you have one. And how did you solve the problem. I'm not sure using Odin will even solve my problem, however it seems similar to yours. Thanks in advance.

Follow instructions carefully and be patient.
problem is with a samsung galaxy s4 active -i537 which is from the ATT network and unlocked. I bought it from ebay and it says it was "ATT unlocked" having received the device; it was running android 4.4.2, everything was working fine. i wanted to update to lollipop and went over to settings> about phone> software update > check update. bam! says,"your phone is up-to-date." I know it wasn't as it was able to update to lollipop.
moreover, I went on the web and began searching. I was able to come across xda forum which guided me with the OTA files to update to lollipop. I followed through and everything went well. however, upon using the device I realized several bugs. one of which is the annoying one; not seeing the option or menu to toggle between 2g, 3g or 4g etc. I have searched longed and hard to find "android lollipop 5.0.1 firmware" so that I can flash the device via odin to fix the issue. the thing is; i am unable to find the firmware. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could direct me to a site where i can get pure stock rom of android 5.0.1 for sgh s4 active-i537. NB: i do not want the OTA file. I need the full firmware.
any answers regarding this thread please email me at [email protected].

AT&T doesn't release the update Odin firmware files for their devices. Seriously ask anyone with an AT&T-specific Samsung device how literally impossible it is to find updated firmware files. That said, what can I get you, the OTA file for 5.0.1 (yes I read your post, read mine), stock firmware file for 4.4.2, or rooted stock 5.0.1 flashable zip? Your options are limited thanks to AT&T

A few years ago,I had the same issue (using an unlocked AT&T phone on another network) & I had to get a cheap prepaid AT&T SIM to get the OTA update pushed to my phones (Note & LG G Flex2).
I had heard this wasn't the case anymore,but,I found this post from an AT&T forum & it still seems to be the case:
https://forums.att.com/t5/Samsung/A...date-when-not-on-AT-amp-T/td-p/5591432#M38714
You might as well use Odin,it won't hurt a thing,you'll still have Knox intact/etc.........

Have you tried updating via Samsung's Smart Switch PC Tool? (Corresponding app needs to be installed on your phone as well)

Sounds like Odin is your best bet to get on the latest update. Here's the AT&T specific thread that has links to the AT&T firmware & patched Odin.
