[Q] Need to be activated with a carrier to get OTA updates? - Moto X Q&A

I have the Pure Edition with a T-Mobile SIM card, however, I have not yet activated it with T-Mobile.
Will OTA updates work while I am connected to Wifi? It keeps telling me that I am up-to-date, so it seems like It is checking. However, it has never told me there is an update available while I was on KitKat. I had to manually upgrade to Lollipop (22.11.6)
Thanks.

[Q] Issues Updating HTC One

Hello I Purchased A HTC One AT&T Unlocked Online, But I Don't Live In The US I Don't Use AT&T Sim I Try To Update My Firmware From Android 4.1.2 to Android 4.3 I Am In Need OF This Update Can Someone Please Help Me.
It Isn't Bootloaded
It Isn't Rooted
I Have Never Received A Update (From Either HTC or AT&T)
Please Help.
How did you try to update it?
Not being on AT&T won't prevent the update, you just need internet access. Maybe you can download the OTA and stick it in the right place , if there's a link somewhere. Is AT&T even up to 4.3 yet? 4.2.2 was skipped.

For The Past 3 Days I Have Tried Several Ways, No Help When i Try It Says No Update Available.
An When I Use The AT&T Update The Box Dissapears.
What's the AT&T update? Anyway, have you confirmed there even is an update? I understand HTC wanted US carriers on 4.3 by some date, but don't recall which or whether it happened.
same problem here..

[Q] Updates for factory unlocked s4 active

I recently bought a factory unlocked at&t s4 active. Will i still get updates from samsung even though its unlocked from at&t carrier. Mine is struck at 4.2.2 . When I try to update it in About device>Software update it says "Software update interrupted. No updates available. Plz try after 24 hours".
Will be happy if someone has answers for this.
The OTA update comes from AT&T servers, not Samsung, I believe that you have to be an AT&T customer to use the update function on phone.

[Q] N900A cannot update to Kit Kat?

Wife's N900A on T Mobile cannot update over the air, thus I tried used Kies 3. It informs me that there are no updates for her phone.
It says " This is the latest firmware" however she is still on JellyBean?
Yes you must be on an at&t network to receive over the air updates.
Unfortunately kies only works for versions ending with mi9. Probably because sammobile.com only released mi9.
The easiest way to update is to borrow a friends at&t sim card and update. It might be possible for a Samsung rep at your local bestbuy to update you.
However since your on jellybean rom it's possible for you to gain root access and install a custom kit Kat rom. Check out the development section on here if you want to go that route.

I believe this thread will be helpful. http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...to-root-g900aucu2aoa1-4-4-4-2-3-2015-t3021120
I am staying on 4.4.2 until 5.0 comes out but I would assume since its still the g900A you will always have to keep up with the AT&T updates like this since you can't take an OTA.

Flashing G920A to G920T

Hi all,
I bought the Galaxy S6 from AT&T when it came out, but switched over to T-Mobile from AT&T last year. Because of this, I have been unable to get any updates and have been stuck on Android 6.0 when the current release is android 7.0, so I've been thinking of flashing my phone. I was curious as to whether I'm able to flash my G920A with Tmobile's G920T rom? Would it work? And if so, after I flash it, would I be able to receive updates normally from T-mobile's servers, as I'm currently using a T-mobile sim, or would I have to flash every subsequent update?
Thanks
Doubtful, since AT&T has a locked bootloader. If the bootloader was unlocked you might be able to try.

You cannot flash a G920T firmware on a G920A. First off, Odin won't let you because the G920T firmware is only signed to be flashed on the G920T.
And even if you somehow rooted and used FlashFire to force the firmware onto your device, the firmware would brick the device, and without a USB jig or SD card port, the brick would be permanent.

I too am seeking answers on this as I have an SM-920A I brought over to t-mobile. Unlocked the phone, installed the t-mobile SIM and the phone works fine, except, it still has all the old ATT apps I no longer need or desire to be there AND without the T-Mobile apps installed, I cannot use their LTE Signal Booster. Is there any way I can install these t-mobile apps that would have come with the SM-920T load?

Just do this and remove the AT&T apps you don't want completely.
