will att software updater only work with att sim? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

My nexus 5 recently crapped out on me and I picked up an at&t s6 edge that I unlocked to use on tmobile.
Obviously, its night and day compared to my nexus as far as development..
Anyways, when I go to at&t software update on the phone it says I am up to date, but im on the old OE2 build and want to update.
Will it only update if Im using at&t sim? or is something else wrong?

I'm 99% certain you need an AT&T SIM installed for AT&T Software Update to see updates.

I just got a AT&T unlocked LG G2 and updated Android with no sim in phone just turned WiFi on and check for updates.To check addition update after successfully update set clock 1 day ahead and check updates again and so no sim is needed.

Perhaps you can Odin your updates without an ATT sim.

OK.The first time it worked without a AT&T sim.I set my phone back to factory and it said it's not registered yet.So I just took a unactivated AT&T sim,put it in phone and check updates and it downloaded the update.So you do need a AT&T sim card to get the updates.

I also believe you can root your phone and get the updates from here on the forum and flash the update on your phone. What kind of phone you got and are you willing to root your phone or buy a AT&T sim from somewhere but I think that sim has to be active. I have a AT&T sim from Go Phone service that cut off but it still worked for updating my phone.

yeah, I updated finally with a friends att sim. such a pain. i hate how locked down they have this phone.

Yes I agree.

[Q] Att Galaxy S5 lollipop update while using Cricket service

I'm currently using a At&t branded S5 on cricket. I've tried to update with no luck and after reading here noticed I'm not even on the latest firmware. My S5 is running 4.4.2 and not 4.4.4. Am I able to receive the update? Can I force it in anyway? What are my options as far as getting the update?

Yes I'm checking while connected to Wi-Fi. It's funny because all my other phones I got updates while on Straight Talk but I have received none while with Cricket. Only been on Cricket about 2 months now

I actually tried that last night and no luck, even searched for a old Att sim I had laying around and couldn't find it. Has to be something with the phone or service because even if lollipop wasn't released and my device serial number wasn't in the roll out so far the 4.4.4 update should've been available.

Was it a working sim, and did u configure the apn, save, and reboot the phone?
I have the byop 4G LTE straight talk sim for at&t, not sure if that really matters or not...

No the Sim wasn't active and no I didn't configure the APN. I should've tried that. I have the same byop 4g att Sim. I think I'm going to try and take it to best buy and see if they can force the update for me.

Updating unlocked ATT Galaxy S5 now on T-mobile network

I assume my idea would work but here is the issue:
My wife has an unlocked ATT Galaxy S5 that we are now using on T-Mobile. Obviously she can't get the recent security updates and marshmallow when it comes out. I don't really want to go the odin route with her phone and risk our marriage (lol) with wiping her data. If I put a sim card from ATT from a friend in her phone, it should then allow it to receive updates correct? I assume our old sim card, which is not associated with a number on the ATT network would not work.
I'm not sure. I'm on AT&T and I can't get the last two or three updates to even register on my phone. Usually someone uploads an OTA zip that you can boot into recovery mode and install, but the latest ones have been neglected. Hopefully someone with more knowledge of the situation can give you a better answer, though.
I'm currently using Net 10 service on my Att S5 active and seem to get OTA updates.

Hmmmmm that's interesting. Maybe, then, we don't need to worry about them coming eventually.
Unfortunately not seeing the Marshmallow update via my ATT S5 running on T-Mobile. The phone says it is "up to date"......

Same here. It's really a bit of a shame. I'm thinking of selling line on swappa just to turn around and buy the t-mobile variant so I can root

If I can I'm going to try a friends att sim card in it to see if it can then download it.
If you throw an AT&T sim in, make sure its from an android device with LTE. Cruise the web a little a make a phone call. reboot after 15 minutes so AT&T's systems recognize your model and software before trying the software update.
Although the best bet would be taking it either to a AT&T service center or a Samsung shop in Best Buy, they can flash the update for you w/o wiping it
you can backup the device with Samsung smart switch on a laptop and keep most of everything just in case anything happens.
Flash PA2 firmware through ODIN and then these through recovery:

Making an ATT Note 9 (unlocked) work on Verizon Wireless

Hi Guys,
I purchased a used Galaxy Note 9 that has the ATT startup and boot animation. I check the IMEI number and it's good, so I went ahead and unlocked the phone through a paid service. When I insert my Verizon sim card, it says that a "Network Locked" sim card has been inserted.
Do I need to load a different firmware to get this to work? I thought the Note 9 supported both GSM and CDMA with the same hardware, but maybe I'm wrong. I haven't posted in here in a while and if this is in the wrong spot, I apologize.
Thanks in advance!

Damn...thank you guys...apparently, the online service said their servers are down and they can't access their database now.
I tried two others so I hope one of them comes up with a successful unlock code. I rechecked the IMEI number and that still comes back good, so I guess it's a waiting game. Thank you for the advice!

Thanks man, just signed up for his service...I will let you know how it pans out. Thank again!
So I was able to get a Note 9 phone I purchased used sim / network unlocked. It was previously on ATT and I'd like to use it on Verizon now. Is it possible to do this? It shows my number, but any other sim information says unknown.
I'm guessing I have to load some kind of Verizon tower info (terminology might be wrong). I thought that stuff is in a CSC file or something. Not sure if I need to flash a whole new ROM, but any guidance would be appreciated.

Once you unlock the phone it will work with Verizon and will configure all the settings as soon as you insert the aim
That's what I thought, but this isn't working. It keeps bringing up the ATT boot animation. I did confirm again that the IMEI is successfully unlocked, but when I login to Verizonwireless on my PC and enter the IMEI it says it's not compatible with Verizon's network.
Is there a database somewhere that has this as a GSM only Note 9. This phone came from an ATT customer...who got the buy one get one free. I sim unlocked it with a third party service.
I'm just wondering if I'm under the false pretense it can handle both GSM and CDMA networks and maybe I'm locked to GSM only...
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

You need to flash it to Verizon firmware . Unlike the note 8 carrier versions , the note 9 doesn't rebrand to what sim card is installed currently.

Hi I successfully flashed Verizon firmware and it still doesn't work.it still has att splash screen and won't connect to Verizon. Please help
Just to make sure that the phone is actually unlocked try T-mobile Sim see if it works.
And if T-mobile sim works then Try N960U1 (XAA) Firmware which is USA unlocked firmware for Unlocked Samsung Note 9 that works with all carriers. so once you insert Verizon sim, it should reboot and set it up for Verizon network.
I did it with T-Mobile Note 8 and was able to use it on Verizon network. Right now I have a Factory unlocked note 9. N960U1 can't really test it because it works with all carriers out of the box.

Did you ever got your AT&T note 9 working on verizon?
I haven't had access to any active Verizon sim cards so I could test them. I just got my note 9 512gbyesterday so I'm gonna give it a go. I'm sure it can happen. Where there's a will there's a way. My only issue is paying 53$ for unlocking. I know there are way cheaper services, I just want to be sure its credible
I have an ATT note 9 unlocked the sim, installed Stock SM-N960U1 USA Unlocked Firmware Odin "N960U1UEU1ARH2" and everything is working like a charm with my Verizon sim card.

I'm not w/VZW,but,I believe if your VZW SIM was activated in another phone,you should be able to drop the SIM Card in (& possibly setting up the APN) & that's it.
However,if you're starting new service w/VZW & the SIM Card hasn't been activated in another phone yet,a call to VZW's customer care is likely in order to get things rollin'.
Again,I'm not w/VZW,just going off memory of what I've read around various sites,so,if your still having issues,contact VZW.
FWIW,it's not the hardware,all US Note 9's are identical on the inside (less storage & RAM options).
Also,some have wrongly stated that flashing firmware will somehow magically SIM Unlock a phone,this is the furthest thing from the truth.
I already had the phone unlocked through a service. I got the code put it in and it said unlock successful. But when you start it up Att logo still shows up and the Verizon Sim does nothing. Other forums say you must upload the unlocked software from the unlocked version of the phone??

There's a few things that could be going on:
1) Even though you checked the IMEI to be clear,that is not a 100% full-proof guarantee of anything,less some proof the phone was paid off in full before you bought it.
Also,the phone might have been reported lost or stolen after you purchased it,but,before you actually took delivery of it (A scam artist coulda sold you the phone).
2) Not knowing which exact unlocking service you purchased,whatever you paid for may not have been what you needed for an actual SIM Unlock.
3) If the phone indeed was/is originally an AT&T Model,I'd guess you'd need to be running that firmware to ensure a proper SIM Unlock,but,don't quote me on that,for now.
I'm guessing you're gonna need to contact AT&T customer care regarding the SIM Status of your phone.................
Once that's resolved/SIM Unlocked,if you want to move to VZW firmware,yes,flash the unlocked (SM-N960U1) firmware 1st,then the VZW firmware afterwards,to ensure full functionality for VVM/Wi-Fi Calling/etc.......
You might be able to somehow get all of that working on unlocked firmware,but,I'm not up on all-things-VZW & the Note 9.
But,1st things 1st,get w/AT&T & see if there's anything going on preventing the phone from being SIM Unlocked before you waste any more money on SIM Unlocking services.
As far as paid services,I've used Masterunlockcode & UnlockBase w/a 100% success rate,there's others out there,some mentioned in this very section/thread..............

N960U / U1 Carrier Switch & CSC features not working? Help?

Ok so on my N950U I was able to flash the N950U1 firmware with the N950U (TMB) CSC.
This would give me U1 firmware with carrier icons and carrier features. It worked great.
I tried that on my new N960U. It did indeed work with the exception of one thing.
The RCS messaging (read receipts / typing etc) stopped working. Can anyone here shed some light on to this or have any idea what has changed?
Thanks!

Are you the original owner?
If so,did you use the T-Mobile Device Unlock app & ensure that it is indeed permanently unlocked vs a temporary unlock?
If you are not the original owner &/or the device still has an outstanding balance,this may be messing things up for you.
Repeating myself here,but,just in case you've read somewhere that changing the firmware somehow SIM Unlocks the phone,it does no such thing.
As for the hardware,there's no reason the phone shouldn't work on Sprint,less their pointless/consumer hostile practices of their brand of BYOD.
No carrier is perfect,far from it,but at least w/T-Mobile & I'm guessing AT&T,no hoop-jumping is needed,simply dropping in a SIM Card (& possible APN adjustment) is it,no further action necessary.
Whatever the person told you (from Sprint) seems to contradict what is posted on their website.

Your probably out of luck. Sprint activates there phone differently then any other carrier. All other carriers, pop sim in, and it just works. With sprint you pop sim in and nothing. Have to call and give info, but they won't activate it.

The correct sim card type is needed to make the Note 9 work on Sprint. SIMOLW506TQ or SIMGLW406TQ. Once you get the correct sim card type then do an Imei swap via online chat. Dont bother calling them up.

Straightforward One UI/ Pie for Verizon S8 yet?

I installed One UI for my Note 9 directly from my SD Card through the stock recovery, without a problem. I was just wondering if there was a similar, straightforward process for my girlfriends S8 that I could use. I found some threads talking about SafeStrap and bootmode, stuff like that - but I dont know how to do any of that, so it's not worth bricking the phone. Thanks!

I have this same question. It looks like AT&T started rolling out updates and Verizon is going to be the last provider to do so. Still nothing and I've been waiting what feels like forever. :crying::crying:

So was it originally from Verizon and you unlocked it, an unlocked phone you put a Verizon sim into a while back? I'm confused but I haven't gotten an ota yet, nor has anyone on the Verizon variant on the s8 subreddit
What is the model number for Verizon variant. I said it was Verizon because the girl I bought it off of had a Verizon plan and acted as if she bought it from Verizon. Let me look into this further

Yes after putting phone in download mode at the top is says Verizon. When I take my sim out of it, it boots up with Verizon spashscreen.
So I figured it out. Verizon had many model numbers when it came to the s8. Some were g950f some g950u, 950u1 etc etc. Some were carrier locked. G950f while others were unlocked 950u and 950u1. So the I have the 950u which is why I got update.

Interesting. I have an S8+ so the model numbers are incremented by 5. I have the g955u so I feel like I should have gotten the update as well.
Either way that's good to know - thanks for looking into that.
Verizon announced that the pie update for the S8, S8+ and note 8 will be out tomorrow (4/4). It's on multiple sites and Verizon has updated their support pages.
