I can't update my Note 8's software - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi everyone, I need some help on my new Note 8. I asked a friend to buy this phone in Dubai because it is cheaper there. And once I got it, I tried to update the software of the phone and I got a message saying "Your current software version is not supported".
Plus when I went to the Play Store to download Netflix, I can't find it. I went to the settings and found that in the Play Protect Certification my Device is not supported.
I need your help guys. I'm new in making a thread here and this is my first post. Thank You.

[Q] Device Missing from Google Play Devices

Hi,
I recently bought the HTC One from AT&T. Yesterday, I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone to install ARHD, and haven't run into any problems on the device. However, the device no longer shows up on the Google Play website under "My Devices" even though I can connect to Google play on my phone and download my previously purchased apps. Some of the other threads suggested installing another app on the phone to help it pick up the device, but that hasn't worked for me either.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get my phone to appear on Google Play My Devices?
Thanks

Device Uncertified in Play Store

I have bought a Nokia 7+ (TA-1062) china varient with global rom installed. My problem is that in the play store my device shows as uncertified. I already contacted the Nokia support and also the play store support and unfortunately they don't seem to have any proper answer to my problem. The Nokia support suggested me that as I am using the china varient with global rom, it is showing as uncertified.
But the interesting fact is that few days ago I installed android P beta in my phone and because of some bugs I rolled back to the oreo rom and at that time my device showed as certified in the play store and then June update came..Installed it and again the same issue.
For the uncertified issue I am not facing any problem downloading apps from playstore. But in the nokia forum in the Nokia 6 section I found a post indicating that if a device is uncertifed it won't recieve any future updates. So, if that is the case then the whole point of buying a Nokia becomes redundant.
So, please guys help me. What should I do?
P.S: I have already registered my phone in the google.com/register using the GSF ID.
same situation here... cant use google pay because of this uncertified issue. I'm hoping next OTA update can fix this problem. So annoying
It's because your phone's SKUID is 600CN, not 600WW.
You can change it by this-----> https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/how-to/guide-how-to-change-skuid-to-worldwide-t3808520
After changing it, you need relock your phone (critical and oem), Now google play should be certified.
BTW: unlock bootloader is required. You can ask hikari_calyx for help.

p30 pro phone not updating - possibly a demo phone?

Hi - please go gently with me, first time posting and not very techy at all!
My husband was given a P30 Pro due to doing some work with Huawei, which he passed onto me. I've been using it for 2 years, and noticed the updates weren't happening, and google pay stopped working. Google pay said my phone was rooted or similar, which it isn't (that I know of). It had worked for 6 mths or so.
Called Huawei a few times and got vague answers.
Finally this week someone on Huawei support checked out my serial number and said that as my phone was listed as promotional or demo, it wasn't under warrranty and software updates wouldn;t be pushed to it.
So what do I do now?? I have a phone that is missing important security checks etc but if I root it as the support guy hinted, I guess I would still ahve the issues with google pay and other banking apps?
As I say, do explain this to me as if you're dealing with your nan!
Thanks

Does "Hey Google" work on your S10 w/Android 12?

Can anyone tell me if they're able to use Hey Google / Google Assistant voice commands on a Galaxy S10 that's been updated to Android 12?
I've been about 2 weeks now, and have failed to get dozen of more suggested fixes to solve the problem of voice commands not working on a renewed S10 I bought on Amazon. It was working out-of-the-box, but after activating the phone and installing a few apps, it hasn't worked since. I was on the phone with Samsung support for an hour or more, and even they weren't able to get it working.
If someone can confirm they have it working on a S10 with the Android 12 update, I'll go ahead and return this one for another. I do like the particularly bright 820 nits screen.
Fervently hoping to get one or more response(s) here on this S10 thread as I've not had luck elsewhere.
Hello TakuSkan, yes the google assistant still works just no more need to say "OK google" you just have to activate it in the parameter so you can choose your assistant between the 3 known bixby or google for alexia pariel you have to install the alexia application Amazon.
Please say hello when you post would be welcome thank you

Hello meric57!
Thanks ever so much for your feedback, That's encouraging to hear. Assistant was set and working when I 1st got the phone. But it seems I've exhausted every approach to get it back. I'm looking to use it for voice commands and hands free navigating Google Maps on my motorcycle via a Sena comms system..
The S10 originally came with Android 9 Pie, but all the renewed ones being sold now have been upgraded to 12 like mine. So you say you have or have seen Android 12 S10s where Assistant and voice commands do operate phone and navigating functions properly? Is that right?
For a while it all seemed to be coming down to wondering if 12 might have been at the root of my problem. But I'll stick with having Amazon swap this 12 S10 with another if folks with the same model & OS version have voice commands working properly.
Thanks again for your input meric57. Much appreciated!
hello,
Yes google assistant works just who no longer needs to say "ok google" just activate in the search parameter "google assistant" then once activate ask directly what you want
Hey...
Yeah, I'm able to ask Assistant whatever I want on my older phone since they dropped OK Google. I'm still wondering if your S10 has been updated to Android 12. Or if anyone else with a S10 with Android 12 can confirm voice commands work for them. I'm a little wary of the v12 upgrade.
Edit: OH! I just spotted "Galaxy S 10 SM-G973F UI Version 4.1 Android 12 XEF" in your signature. Great! Anyone else second this?
erase thank you
Hello TakuSkane, I just saw that you have S10 SM-G973U1 so I think it comes from your problem. Look here to read the first message https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/g973u-and-g973u1 -firmware-links-here.3905852/ you have the link for the firmware or ask here for your concern.
At worst, return your S10 to Amazon and take an S10 from an official operator.
Thanks for the info meric57. I'm not all that tech savvy when it comes to mobile devices. I don't see anything in the 1st post in that thread related to my issue. And it says the G973U1 is for the same phone but without all the carrier bloatware. Which sounds like it would be preferable. Are you suggesting that flashing to G973U might solve my problem?
Hello takuskan, the concern that you have these the S10 the motherboard install SM-G973U1. I do not know if your network and your operator works in your region or not read well all that is marked on the link that I put see more see the posts in the discussion thread.
Me, bixby-alexia-google assistant works on my S10 SM-G973F exynos 4 G.
Hey meric57. Since I can return the phone, that's the "easiest" way forward after chasing fixes for weeks now. I'll look for the G973U, G973U1, G973F models when I choose another. If all I can get that's affordable (cheap) is another G973U1, and if that one still has the problem, I'll follow up here and read through that thread you linked to. But as I've written, Assistant DID work when I 1st got the S10. Sooooo... we'll see. Thanks for being the only soul on these forums to give me a little feedback. In fact I've not gotten any other feedback on other support sites either.
Hello TakuSkan, I don't look at the price, I prefer to buy from an official SFR-orange operator... I'm sure I have a smartphone that works and hassle-free, take a phone from a market or sales site like amazon or others I don't buy I don't trust it tells you unlocked all operators ok my there is a network chip either US or Asia.
It is EU certified for the network
Sadly some folks have no choice but to cut corners as they navigate today's financial super highways.
