Has global firmware flashed. How would I get OTA updates working normally, so I don't have to side-load them all.

Hi,
I just downgraded from rooted L09C432B170 to B136 to get ready for the official Nougat release. After successful downgrade I checked for OTA updates and the latest I got is B166 though I'm pretty sure there is B182 for European version. Why am I not getting it? Do I need to install it manually and will I get official Nougat OTA as soon as it's released in this situation?
Thanks for help!
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've relied on ota updates on my P20 Pro but it still hasn't received the android 10 update, even though my provider is meant to have pushed it out. Its unlocked, so I should be able to install any version for my model CLT-L09 (C782). Is it possible to download this update and install it through the e-recovery menu?
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.
