Lollipop Update neither available through OTA nor KIES

Hi all,
maybe that is expected but I thought my Note 4 should be subject of Lollipop Update. Device information says "SM-N910F".
I am on Stock firmware, no root or so.
Is Lollipop not available for my device yet or am I doing something wrong.
Thanks in advance guys for feedback.
Cheers from Germany

waintg like i do SM-N910F (TPL)
I read somewhere that lolipop update was canceled because of problems with Poland ROMs

Really? I thought it's spread now for nearly every version

Canceled lol? No it is not "canceled" it is rolling out to the device in different regions...just wait until it hits your region.

Its not rolling out to any region but Poland & Korea for C version and Germany for F... something bad spotted in beta testing, they're recoding firmwares and the update is on hold. As it rolls out to much older devices, we with Note4 have to still wait. It's just as it is... Samsung fails to satisfy its flagship owners one more time.
Sent from my GALAXY Note 4

Thanks KS ljubimci. That's why I'm wondering. I believe to be on F and am in Germany as well. Now you guys got really confused.

They are saving the best firmware for us till last as they experiment on other devices (^_-) shall be worth the wait.

Completely normal way for Samsung. Poland and Korea usually first and after a while they will spread to other regions.
I expect, for Europe, the UK next followed by France, Italy and Spain.

If someone bad (as in show stopping bad) would have been discovered they would not have released the final version in Poland or Germany.
They may adjust some small things for other regions but nothing indicates that they pulled the plug on the update. (if a real problem would had been discover they also would have stopped rolling out Germany and Poland)

Guys, just to repeat: I AM in Germany and AM on F but Update not showing. So what's wrong then?

Download it from sammobile if you really need it. I myself had to downgrade in order to get my things work the way I want them to. Besides I'm not a fan of the lollipop animation gimmicks at all.

So it is Only available from sammobile and expected behaviour that it's not offered via KIES or OTA?

No. It should be offered via KIES or OTA. But if Samsung really pull back the update due to some bugs, you won't be able to get them either way so you have to download from Sammobile if you can't wait for Samsung to release them again.

Hmm okay. So we ASSUME it was pulled back then.

Nah, if your deviece is carrier branded than it's completely normal not to receive the update.

It isn't branded

You probably have a different csc.

Oreo Release Thread

Finally this has arrived for RETGB!
Currently running the install and will let you know how this goes.
Where else has had this released?
Who is still waiting?
What is the verdict, worthwhile keeping at stock or see what good ROMS will come from this?

Is that possible without root?
Official answer from the German support via email: There have been bugs in the release and the roll out has been stopped.

This is ridiculous. No more Lenovorola from me. Everyone's got Oreo and some phones from other brands have even gone to Pie, but reteu is still behind. Tragic support compared to when it was owned by Google (my XT1032 got updated before the Nexus phones of the time).

Yeah. This is oddly funny. I said no more Motorola after the Atrix fiasco (Android 2.3...... ICS was never released, they promised it... and then the Testing image got leaked.....)
Yet, I've owned another Moto phone, which won't have Android 8.1. But this phone is still good with Nougat. Can't complain.
Got a Nexus 5x from google. New. Turns out it had a hardware failure on all models just a year after the release.
Got a Nexus 4. After a year of usage, just upgraded to Lollipop. Phone started rebooting on its own randomly. Some users have this issue as well.
I don't believe on the manufacturers anymore. My next phone will be a Nokia (and I'll fail for sure)

Finally in Germany (RETEU) arrived the Oreo Release yesterday with the December 2018 Updates included.

The Lenovo forums for the 5GS and the 5GS+ are full of VERY annoyed reports on WiFi loss problems after upgrading to 8.1 - so far, these obviously all relate to non-RETEU update channels. Lenovo apparently never officially reacted to these complaints, but several people there seem to have dumped their 5GS/+ phones after the update out of frustration.
So, do those of you who already have updated to 8.1 see any problems with WiFi connections dropping (while connected to a 4G network)? The 'cure' for that seemed to be to disable 4G connections...
What with battery life after the update?
Thanks! Markus68

Can not test this for you, because I have no 4G Network, only 3G.

I'm on the same boat. I tried manually checking for updates for the past week and nothing.

I manually went into Settings - Software update - Download and install --> then the Feb updates available
Thanks for the info!:good:

I'm on pie n hate it

Sadly it is only a security update while the s9+ got A LOT in the Feb update (wifi range fixes/stability, dark mode schedule without dev options, other mentioned fixes and ofc the update is a lot bigger).

Update is available in Australia (101.21 Mb)

I also received an update today my phone is flashed with H3G Ireland

UK latest version

Still on May security patch and firmware ending on 190
Has anyone else got a newer update?

i'm on 190 too .. read on a Russian forum that a few newer versions have popped up on FF but advise against trying them , wait for the official OTA when it arrives

After reading and looking I seen about the updates being every 4 months then they will or they won't do it, so I'm not sure
I think i will thanks, nothing wrong with phone, just I liked the idea of new phone having latest updates etc

i used to update soon as one appeared , way back in the galaxy S3 days Samsung released a terrible update and it took months before they fixed it . So always wait a week or so and see what people have to day about it first

Yes someone is lying
Surprised as its such a big update (time and size and feature wise), you would think they would be doing all they can to get people the update

yeah i think " Roman " was just reading the cue cards , didnt have a clue about anything i was asking

Seeing reports of honor play getting 9.1. I'm still on 9.0 anything people doing different to get it to pop I'm in the UK.

Update your Hicare - if you haven't check for the update from there. You will be directed to Settings to do the update.

Checked via hicare says I'm on latest version no update available. Guess I just have to wait a bit longer. Thanks for the reply tho.

where are you from pja1985430 , i'd say the updates slowly making its way from east to west so the UK wont see it for a while yet

Probably won't get it in the UK for a little while yet.

Just released in the UK ???

Got it today in Germany, too, and all went well ... so this issue is not region/OTA related.

Updated, runs smooth so far

Anyone know how to bypass the Bad Return Status 400 in Bifrost when trying to download the firmware?

Maybe it is just my imagination, but I think the phone runs cooler than before.
Even while gaming it stayed cooler.
