[Q] How to receive updates again (5.0.2 to 5.1)

Hello,
like the title descripes, i just want to know how i can receive OTA updates again. I'm currently running on stock Android 5.0.2.
The device has an unlocked bootloader and has been rooted(wich has already been undone).
Did i flash the wrong firmware since i had to manually install it because the device was running on cm 12.1?
I know i could simply install the 5.1 firmware but since i don't want to loose all my data and i don't want to **** arround with backups and stuff,
i hope i can get the OTA update to work again.
hope you glory it magicans are able to help me
kind regards
P.S.
Here is a screenshoot with some infos:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

How do you know that you won't get any updates with the firmware you've got? As far as I know, Motorola hasn't released the 5.1 update yet, at least not for the XT1068 model that is sold in Germany.
For reasons of comparison, I am on 5.0.2 with my XT1068 as well (never rooted, never unlocked BL), although it states the Baseband-Version to be: "MSM8626BP_1032.3105.93.00R EMEA_DSDS_CUST"
(funny how my device is always recognized as XT1068, although the "1032" suggests it to have the Baseband firmware of another device).
I also have different kernel versions and build numbers:
Code:
Kernel: 3.4.42-gdd242b0
[email protected]#1
Fri Jan 23 13:23:41 CST 2015
System version: 22.26.1.titan_retde.retdeall.en.DE retde
Build number: LXB22.46-28.1
This is an unbranded device, bought in Germany. My system updater app always states that my system software is up to date, so I guess I'll have to wait a little longer for 5.1 to be released on my XT1068 so I can get it OTA.
But basically, there is no reason to believe, your device has already received an update, so it may very well be that you'll get one when it's released. Or, if not, then you may see if you can find another firmware (i.e. the one I have, which runs quite smoothly - I've had only one or two unexpected reboots since I've got the device, and never had any other troubles), then why shouldn't it get an update? Provided that you don't deactivate the Motorola OTA app, which needs to be working for the phone to know when it gets an update.

Looking for Update (T-Mobile - H811)

There seems to be some sort of update for my LG G4 H811 (T-Mobile). I'm already on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, so what could this be? I can't update due to having TWRP installed, so I was hoping to find this update on the web somewhere. I checked T-Mobile's site and the highest they have listed is 6.0.1 from last year. Any idea where I can find this update?

That is a security update

Any idea if a flashable zip exists?

Or any way to go back to stock recovery? I'm currently using H811V20r_00_0111.kdz w/ TWRP.
EDIT
I found the stock recovery for the H815. Do you think it'll work on my H811?

To be honest no clue as I have never went stock recovery

It won't update because you probably have unlocked bootloader in addition to not having stock recovery. One option to update that worked for me (albeit you loose all data on phone as it resets when you relock bootloader, but that will probably happen anyways if you could update) was to go into fastboot menu, lock the bootloader, then turn off phone by removing battery (saves a lot of time by skipping the unnecessary rebooting), reinsert battery, put phone in download mode by holding vol up button as you plug usb cable that is connected to your computer. At this point, you can use LG Bridge 'update error recovery' option to get the latest stock rom and recovery reinstalled on your phone. Before you do all this, do realize that LG and T-MOBILE stopped updating or supporting this phone long ago and security updates only go up to April of 2017, so doing all this for an incremental update may not be even worth it.

OTA is suddenly broken?

Hi all,
I have checked my device imei, it's a guinee MI A2, i have it for about 1 month, it came out of the factory with the V9.6.9.0.ODIMIFE firmware. So i recieved the OTA to
V9.6.10.0.ODIMIFE.
After this i unlocked and rooted the device. 3Days ago i recieved the september OTA update warning, but couldn't install it because of my Root.
Yesterday i decided to fastboot flash the device back to stock (V9.6.10.0.ODIMIFE), so i used the flash_all_lock, and restored my apps with my google backup.
The only thing now, is that i don't recieve the september update anymore, it's saying it's up to date?
Any idea how to force update to the september update?
Thanks!

I just did a rollback to V9.6.9.0.ODIMIFE, OTA to V9.6.10.0.ODIMIFE was successfull, but no OTA to September patch...
I saw some video's online with info on bad performance, maybe they pulled it back...

How to fix OTA updates (SM-N950U1)

Ever since I got the official beta build a few months ago, I no longer get OTA updates. I have had to flash all my updates through either ODIN (to get off of the beta back to stable) or Smart Switch. I posted the following thread on reddit and they told me that somehow I flashed ATT data to my phone, but I don't think I ever did that. I have only used the XAA firmware since I have a factory unlocked Note 8 that I bought directly from Samsung. Here is a image of what my recovery shows now:

}
Any ideas about how to get it back to Block-Based OTA instead of File Based and also how to fix the errors?
Thanks!

Bump - Anyone?

I have the same issue. believe it is due to the pie beta, tried odin and OTAs still don't work. rip for us

I also have N950U1 and flashed the beta Pie version and beta updates from SD-card as Zip files.
When official Pie was available, I used Smart Switch; I had to downgrade first to latest Oreo version. Thereafter OTA worked again, for initial upgrade to Pie and subsequent updates.
My advise, try downgrading through Smart Switch.

If I am already on the latest update, is it still possible to download back to Oreo from Pie? Would I have to do this through Odin?

I downgraded through Smart Switch, it indicated to do so...

I have no idea then. I only get update prompts when I connect to SmartSwitch, which is how I have had to update since exiting the Beta.

Which firmware to update? N950U

Hello,
Much thanks in Advance to whom ever looking forward to help here.
I am running N950USQU5DRL7.
was at CRIA upgraded to CRJ3, did CRJ3 to CRK1, and finally CRK1 to DRL7 as per recommended by firmware science.
Now firmware science doesn't show any update regarding where to go next after DRL7 with December 2018 security patch.
Is there any newer firmware that I can load, from DRL7 and get latest security patches and updates. Kindly guide.
Much obliged.

Just google search latest firmware for your device. What carrier are you on? I will check for you..or go to Frija, Sammobile, put in what device you have and it will give you the latest firmware. Then use odin to flash the firmware after you extract AP..BL..CP...CSC.. if you want to keep data flash HOME_CSC instead of CSC

Thank you for your replies.
I am attaching down below the current status of the software information. Running 950USQU5DRL7. I am not on any Carrier. I can tell that by the fact, no carrier logo shows up at start. So let's just say it is the unlocked version. I followed updates from firmware science and reached till the DRL7 which updated it to 9.0. I am also not in the region hence not received any OTA updates and only reason I decided to manually update using ADB sideload update.zip process. Also the update list for different carriers such as update version list doesn't include 950USQU5DRL7 which was recommended by firmware science. As you can down below with attachment that I am running old security patch and need to update. Kindly advice. Much obliged.

I usually run the OTA update via the settings menu usually works like a dream. I only had one hickup with the OTA and that was early this year. When Samsung released a bonked OS update, which was fixed with a few days later.

I soft-bricked my device and my 1st attempt at reinstall stock firmware failed. 2nd attempt now, it takes really long at this point maybe 15-30mins.
I know my phone is verzion (vzw) and definitely n950u1, but I'm not sure if I'm selecting the wrong firmware to update my phone with using Odin.
I'm using sfirmware and sammobile to find my firmware.
