Hi, i m pretty sure that i m stucked. My Phone is at 1 january security update, i didnt receive any update via ota since i update maunally from SD card the Android pie update, i think i wronged the country when choosing the files, is this possible? I mean now i m afraid that i will not receive anymore updates
a bit more info would help. what you had before and then what you did etc. it could be that you simply use odin, with maybe correct firmware, to return to receiving ota

If you are rooted right now you will not be able to get ota updates. The only way to update is to go through odin and update or flash a rom with the newest update or unroot your device and then update.
I'd like to answer your second question but I would like some clarification on the question.
And the update to 6.0 could be from a couple of weeks to a couple of months or even longer. It depends on you carrier and samsung of course.
The phone is the international variant 920c dual sim
I have not rooted yet but will love to do it.
If marshmalow is near them i will wait
No rooted phones of Samsung will receive OTA updates. Unroot by flashing the stock rom with ODIN and look for OTA. Or else, download latest stock firmware from samobile or similar websites and update with ODIN. Then re-root if you want.
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.
My phone is rooted and I have a custom recovery installed, but I'm on stock firmware. When I search for software updates, it doesn't tell me my device has been modified, but just goes on to say I'm on the latest update (August security patch for my region).
My question is: when the September security patch arrives, will I be able to do the update without losing root or any other issues?
If your on the snapdragon note 8 u cant root and never will be able to again

Hi mate,
As long as I know:
- you wont be able to use OTA sine you did root. (strange the is not saying your device has been midified. just install root ckecker from goole play to make sure you are root)
- if you flash any originial rom via Odin, your custom kernel will be replaced with Samsung original kernel and you need to root your device again.
I hope it helps you
An update, if anyone happened to be interested. The September update for my carrier is now available. When I went to check for software update in the settings, the device finally told me the system has be modified in unauthorised ways so I can't download the update via OTA. That means I'll have to download it from Sammobile and flash via Odin and lose everything and start fresh.
Hello, I am writing this because for the past year I have been manually downloading firmware and installing it into my s10 (G973U) I have never gotten an OTA update, and I'm guessing it's because I don't reside in the US nor do I have a US Sim card. My question here is if there is ANY way to fix this so I can get OTA updates. Yes I have tried SmartSwitch, doesn't work. I would greatly appreciate a detailed explanation since I'm new to flashing firmware and stuff. I am currently running the August security patch on Android 11.
...that should be the lastest update
