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?
Just curious if anyone with the US model 1806 gotten a patch update recently within the last couple months. Im still running with the the June 2017 patch.
Ive seen some people saying they have an October or January or February patch, so just wanting to see what others may have if its different
My build number is NPS26.116-26 no updates available to download from the phone
Retgb; still on October patch
The January 1, 2018 security update landed on my phone about a week ago. It's number NPSS26.116-45-9. You have to have October you can get this one, though. I am using a retus model. Probably too late to find my zip though. You might wanna check Reddit.

i wonder why my retus model didnt get an update stuck on july 1 2017.. And i got it midway through december so i would think that I would have gotten a software update out of the box over wifi for it? then again right now its bootloader is unlock and the bootloader says the software is modified?

I just got the message for the January Security update for XT1806 (retus sanders). Trying to figure out a way to patch and keep root... Or patch then re-root.

Remove root, load factory recovery, update, load recovery of choice, root

Doing just that, I was being cheeky when I said "figuring out ..." I was hoping that flashfire or RSDLite was still an option... but your steps above are still the easiest thing to do.
Patch security update

Do you have the firmware file to share for the 4/64?
Hi. I have a TA-1004
i bought it used though in warranty etc.
Phone is on android 8.0.0 with 1 march 2018 security update.
Whenever i check for software update, it says your phone is upto date.
I downloaded the zip file and when i tried to upgrade it from stock recovery, it said you cant downgrade. As that 8.1 OTA zip had feb security patch.
I need help. How to update?
So, here's the thing: I upgraded to Pie using the leaked OTA. When the January update became available last month I didn't try to rollback or anything because it had nothing new.
Now the February patch is supposed to have the missing Pie apps (Digital Wellbeing, etc) and it would be really nice to be able to update, but I can't even update to the Jan one since it gives me error when trying to install the patch.
What's the best way to go to the February security patch? Should I try to flash an official firmware, and how?
I'm on 00WW_5_110 and my phone isn't unlocked or anything.
Yay, I did it! I followed this guide from here about unlocking the bootloader but only as far as downgrading to November patch.
After that it installed the official December Pie beta and then the January patch. It doesn't find the February update, but I guess it just isn't available in my region.
Currently running Baseband Version N960USQU1CSC1, Android Security Patch level: March 1, 2019.
I have never received an OTA update since buying my phone in Aug 2018. For the Android Pie update and all updates since, I have been performing them via ODIN.
Neither AT&T not Samsung have been able to troubleshoot this issue. Appreciate any help on how I can setup my phone to receive OTA updates.
Thanks!

The new firmware is in another post. Just Odin and you'll be current.
I have unlocked on AT&T , and just got the April update this morning, all OTA. Never had to Odin the updates , but definitely not as quick as the carrier branded models. I have only added the APN names when I got the phone(preorder so August 2018) and that's the only setting I changed.
Didnt think flashing instead of waiting for OTA would cause any troubles, but Samsung is sneaky sometimes. Have you thought that maybe you flashed the incorrect files, maybe carrier vs unlocked? Also, factory wipe and reset ? I know the pie update did some screwy things for me and it seemed better after a wipe .
