[Q] Note ICS Update question

Hello guys,
I bought my wife a Galaxy Note for her birthday last month. I have been waiting for the ICS update to show up on the phone and I have gotten nothing. I go into settings > about phone > update, it says phone is up to date. I tried Kies on two different laptops and it says GT-N7000 does not support initializing. I have removed Kies and reinstalled it, but no luck.
I did more digging to see where my phone was meant to be sent. The model is N7000XXLA4, so according to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356325 , my phone is the one meant for Germany. Yet they got their updates almost 2 months ago. I have tried a factory reset on the phone but still no luck. Can anyone let me know what I am doing wrong?
PS: I know how to root and install ROMs. As the phone is not for me, I really want to stick to the official updates.
Thanks!

Is the phone rooted? That'll break any updates.

No man, never rooted the phone.

Anyone?

If this is German ROM, you will get the OTA update only when you are located in Germany and connected to a German Carrier.
If you are located outside, you can download the update here

and flash with Odin 1.876 (same link).

I think you need an ATT sim card inserted.

I may ask you how inserting my AT&T sim would allow it to continue updating

Because ATT devices update from ATT not Samsung. Without the ATT sim your device won't be recognised as an ATT device.
This is how it's worked for other devices on ATT.

Ok I will try thanks for the tip

I have the same problem...
Is it possible to download this firmware manually and install it from odin / Kies ?
Better than that... How do I know if I can Debrand this device and get rid of att firmware ?

i Just upgraded the tablet to android 7 using its firmware i did not have its original at&t sim card lying around so i had to manually update the device you can manually update it
and no even if you try to debrand this tablet out of the at&t firmware there might be some chances that certain functions like wifi and bluetooth might not work due to the modem that at&t devices use i don,t know about this theory either and i can only assume that this might happen to your device it happened to me on my lg g2 where i installed the wrong firmware
Hopes this helps
sorry for my bad english

Where Did you get your update From? i Have an AT&T t-818a and on the att website there have been 2 other additional update but i guess without the AT&T sim it just wont work? Is this true, can anyone confirm this? I dont see why you would need the AT&t sim if the build/firmware number is specific to AT&T. Another reason to hate AT&T i guess!

T817AUCU2CQE3 here:
http://combinefile.com/home/browse/category/id/9448/T817AUCU2CQE3

Yeah I did T 18178 ever since I've had it it won't update already had to go twice to get new SIM cards from AT&T I've never not had an AT&T SIM card but it still does it regardless I noticed now it's been another year I haven't got another update and multiple behind it just happens. Did you know for the longest time and then I had to start going there and telling them just to do it right away and then you try to say I will do all this stuff and not think that would even help until doing all of it and then finally after continually telling them refusing that wouldn't do anything but it's but it happened the last time. Ridiculous provider websites pretty much unusable because it takes ridiculous times to get to information that's useless anyways, every time you want to go to a new page it's trying to make you log in security again

There is a version 7. And honestly I worked on my for a looong time and could never get it to update so I Just took it to the Samsung guys at best buy they did it no problem. being you are not in the US I'm not sure what to recommend.

Note 8 unlocked and still no Oreo firmware update?

Baseband: N950USQS3BRA8
Note 8 is unlocked and currently with T-MOBILE, previously AT&T. I've search all day today and still can't find why I don't have the Oreo update yet. I have the Samsung keis software and it tells me I'm up to date. Did it ever come out for my baseband? I apologized in advance if this was already talked about, I only saw discussions about it being rooted. I want to keep it stock. Thanks

You can check for latest firmware related to your specific model on sammobile.com, then download through updato.com (or using the SamFirm tool) and flash it through Odin.

Since you're using it with T-Mobile and it was previously AT&T you're not going to get updates anymore unless you use an AT&T sim card.. The only way to get the updates at this point is to download the update firmware yourself and flash it through odin. The reason being is because T-Mobile doesn't carry AT&Ts firmware updates so you have to get it yourself.. It's easy as hell to find the firmware on places like Android File Host. Also do not download T-Mobile firmware it will not flash... Use AT&Ts firmware only.

I have a AT&T iPhone 7 from work, you guys think if I take that SIM and put it into the Note 8 the updates would come through? I was looking through the Sam mobile thing. You guys make it seem easy to manually update and I'm terrified being my first time doing it that way. But if you think the SIM card swap would work I'll give that a try first.

The sim card swap should work.. Can't hurt, try it and then check for updates.

It worked!!!
I swapped out the sim cards and it worked!
I ended up having to back up the device and restore, since the update wasn't showing up. I cleared the cache, checked and nothing. After restoring the phone the update became available. After the 8.0.0. update there was about 4 updates after (security patches). I'm now on 8.0.0 with Aug 2018 security patch. I put my tmobile sim card back in and restarted the phone. I even get the tmobile screen during boot up which I never gotten since I switched back in February. All in all it's working fine. I'll update if anything crops up. Thank you all for your help!

You can push software update with this procedure.
put this in your phone app: *#8736364#
Then go to Field Test mode.
Change "Device Initiated date" to one or a few minute ahead. wait until you see "SET" then press Home.
Wait until you see software update to kick it.
Try several times if it doesn't work at first.

Android 10 LG G8 ATT

I just received the OTA for Android 10 on ATT. Build is QKQ1.190929.002 Software ver G820UM20i. Kinda sad to complain but its still security patch level Dec 1, 2019

Got it too!

Confirmed...https://flic.kr/p/2ioVmJ9

yes, checked and got it. thanks for the news

Finally! The great thing is that it finally fixes audio lag issues I've had with various bluetooth headphones for forever. The bad thing is that it still doesn't appear to work with a Dualshock 4 for PS4 remote play (apparently Sony maintains a list of "Android 10 phones" instead of actually checking your OS, which seems crazy to me, but I suppose is not directly LGs fault).

Can someone EXTRACT firmware file and share it with other G8 ATT users?

Updated here too.. Dissapointed w/the horizontal recents list, so clunky and slow..

May any one share the firmware? Thank you

I saw on here if you remove your Sim card, then factory reset and don't connect to anything including wifi, so skip everything to get to the home screen. Then connect to WiFi and check for updates it works. I did it and boom, I had to go through about 5 updates, but it all worked.

What? You can't root and I'm not sure what you're saying...

Does anyone have the firmware file for this update? I bought ATT LG G8 to use on Cricket but can't get the OTA update now, also tried resetting and using WiFi (without SIM) mentioned in post above by @Romman0 but it didn't work either.

Has there been any luck getting the ATT model rooted?

I got it to work using a prepaid go sim card i bought on ebay for $2 but now i regret updating it cos my phone sluggish and it s draining battery much faster than before. I had an issue where incoming calls go straight to voicemail and i thought android 10 can fix that but the problem still persists.
