Can I manually update my Security Patches? - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

Since switching from Sprint to T-Mobile last spring with my unlocked Galaxy S10+, I've yet to get a new security update (Still says I have the latest version at April 1st)
Can I manually install the Security update without root my phone? Would it work to manually install it?
I took into a T-Mobile store and after fiddling with it for a long time they suggested calling Samsung. I didn't do that yet...
I have factory reset it but that didn't help.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah you can flash the latest firmware with the patched version of Odin. Here's the thread:

note 8 sm-n950U update to oreo from 7.1.1

Hi guys,
I want to know how to update to latest oreo update with all the security patches.
I am following this how-to thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...w-to-install-android-oreo-snapdragon-t3716281 but in the OP the links are broken.
Can anyone update me on this?
The phone is from verizon but I didn't use it on verizon. I got this phone last November. Currently using on Cricket, so probably I don't get automatic updates from Verizon.
my note 8 info:
7.1.1
experience v. 8.5
security patch level Nov 1, 2017
Baseband v. N950USQS2BQK2
Thanks in advance.

I am unsure if you should be on a much newer filmware or not. Sometimes a factory reset can resolve OTA not coming through, this will delete the phone memory though, so back up your data.
You can also get official filmware from sammobile and updato. Just if you want to flash Oreo with Odin, make sure you use the latest version of Odin (3.13.1)

I am on Cricket and using Verizon note 8 that I got from last December. Last update was in November when I still have Verizon. After inserting Cricket sim card, there has never been an update anymore. I turned on Wifi and went into settings> software update to refresh, and there is no awaiting update. I didn't change to unlock firmware (as I do not know how). How do you go about installing the updates to latest Oreo using Odin? I am on 7.1.1 with build 2BQK2

I recommend that you try a factory reset to see if that pushes the OTA update.
If this fails, I will help you step by step with Odin.

July 1st Security Update for Unlocked Note 8 using Sprint

Can anyone confirm if the CRF6 security update breaks anything? More specifically, are the APN settings still accessible? I want to install it, but I am happy with the current state of things. Thanks
I've just updated July 1 security firmware on my unlocked 950U1 and been using with T-Mobile, everything is good including APN settings or adding.
Thanks. I just installed and all is good.
I have the 950u1 on crf6 and I want to flash tmobile firmware on it but it keeps failing any advice
So I am assuming you cant flash a U firmware on a u1 device? Am I correct on this assumption? I figured since you can flash u1 on a u device you should be able to flash a u firmware on u1
I would like to update my note8
Can some assist with the update please. I have CRC4 and want to update to CRF6 using ODIN. Can someone guide me please?

question about flashing with odin

I have the Olympic Edition N950N and I see that there is a software update for the phone but it is not showing up in the OTA or with smart switch. If I were to use Odin to update my phone, would the Olympic boot screen and theme be deleted on my phone? Or should I just wait and see if I get the OTA at some point?
I would recommend that you wait for it to become available via OTA rather than install manually. As you might accidentally install the OS for a different variant onto your device and brick it.

Ok, but I saw this for the KTC model, hopefully I will get the OTA soon. If you have a N950N, did you get your update yet? I know the other carriers have also got thier July updates as well. And they look like big updates as well, samfirm said it was 3.5 GB, and I haven't had an update since may with the April security patch. But thanks for your help!

I have already received that update for my device. I have the LG telecom model of the N950N. You should have received yours by now. Guess it must take a little longer for the Olympic edition....

Note 9 (SM-N960U) on ATT - Never received OTA updates

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 .

Not getting OTA updates :c

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
