I saw the forum posting saying that the android O update is rolling out in australia and new zealand. this got me concerned because i dont believe my phone can get OTA updates. I rooted and flashed roms and went back to stock, however my bootloader says the phone is modified and google play says the phone is uncertified. is there anyway i can go back to true retail stock to guarantee that i can receive the OTA update when it rolls out in the states?
If you have flashed the correct firmware according to the country where u live u will definately get OTA updates. Many times I flashed Oct security patch updates and after booting I get notification to update my phone. It doesn't matter if bootloader is locked or unlocked , modified or official . Even if you're rooted then also you will receive notification to update but if try to update it may crash. Just make sure it's a clean unrooted official firmware.
I still have the july security patch how do i get the october one?

I haven't been able to receive OTA updates ever since I upgraded to OREO via Odin(couldn't wait). I am still on the March security patch.There have been a number of updates since then. I have checked to see if I have the correct region firmware installed (the CRC file) which was correct. Then I tried updating via Smart Switch which didn't work. I also tried wiping cache(don't want to factory reset) which didn't work. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated
You need to flash back to the ota path. so carrier firmware that wasnt beta stuff
No, I never flashed any beta firmware. I just flashed the Official Oreo Release Firmware pertaining to my region yet I am not receiving updates.
I have the XT1900-1 android one version. Before unlocking my bootloader, I had the December 2018 security update. I unlocked my bootloader to get lineageOS, but decided to go back to stock using muchy_cool's guide. But now the security patches are going up to November 2018, and then it says its up to date.
Is there a difference between the stock firmware from the guide and the stock firmware upon buying the phone? I would assume so because if I relock the bootloader again, the warning message on boot changes to "device has loaded a different operating system". But then this is still stock firmware. Why don't the updates get detected?

Well it sounds like the OTAs ARE working if you're still on the November update. (My non-Pie phone is still on October update and Android 8.0)
It sounds like you just haven't gotten the December update yet. So did you first get September, October, and November?
As I am aware, even if you got the update it will fail at the moment of installation. There is no official stock recovery available so far that's why even if you lock the bootloader you are using the modified system warning shows at the time of booting.
Hi, i m pretty sure that i m stucked. My Phone is at 1 january security update, i didnt receive any update via ota since i update maunally from SD card the Android pie update, i think i wronged the country when choosing the files, is this possible? I mean now i m afraid that i will not receive anymore updates
a bit more info would help. what you had before and then what you did etc. it could be that you simply use odin, with maybe correct firmware, to return to receiving ota
Has anyone actually received the update to ATK1? I was on ATJ5 with the October update however I saw the ATJ1 in Frija. The phone was saying I was up to date so I am manually flashing it. I am just curious if my phone was going to get the update or not as I am running a SIM unlocked ATT device on the unlocked firmware.
I received the ATK1 update OTA last week. I'm on ATT with a factory unlocked phone.

ditto for me.
Recieved the update on the 24th. Same date as the previous month's update. Both times I had to manually check for updates before it showed up. On Mint with a factory unlocked.
I'm USA unlocked on T-Mobile and was tired of waiting for the update. They are always last to push it. So I used the guide that was posted on this forum on how to change your CSC to check for and download the update. Worked perfect. Had the new update installed in like 5 minutes.
My phone model no is SM-G970U And sprint firmware preloaded But imei is a Verizon unlocked one. Actually It's imported from usa to Bangladesh. Now I dont get ota updates Which firmware now I will flash
I flashed Verizon firmware last month But it didn’t Work.
Is it safe to flash a stock rom of build no: SM-G970U1(XAA)?
AND IF I DO SO, WILL I GET OTA UPDATES?
Yes you can flash XAA, but you will probably not get OTA updates. Usually, carriers only provide OTA updates when they recognize the phone and it's on their carrier-ROM.
That being said, these phones are too old anyway, so they are not expected to get many updates going forward anyway. They may get a few more quarterly-updates, but not monthly and no new OS versions. For this reason, I wouldn't worry about OTA updates and if you still want updates just apply them yourself via ODIN.
