I use Total Wireless (a verizon MVNO) and I can't get updates OTA. I just saw that there has been another security update rolled out (V405UA30b) and I cannot get it because it's for Android 10. Verizon's update utility says I'm up to date with V405UA20g. Anyone know why the utility still hasn't updated? Is there anyway to get the latest ROM?
I feel like Verizon gets slower and slower to update newer Android OS as the phone gets older.
Hope they get it done and sent out soon.
That is strange.
I have a sprint flashed with verizon rom and I got the lattest update (V405UA30b).

No, I am using it with a Mexican carrier
Strangely I did a factory reset and the update showed up on Total Wireless. So I guess it is possible to get verizon updates on MVNOs.

Hello I Purchased A HTC One AT&T Unlocked Online, But I Don't Live In The US I Don't Use AT&T Sim I Try To Update My Firmware From Android 4.1.2 to Android 4.3 I Am In Need OF This Update Can Someone Please Help Me.
It Isn't Bootloaded
It Isn't Rooted
I Have Never Received A Update (From Either HTC or AT&T)
Please Help.
How did you try to update it?
Not being on AT&T won't prevent the update, you just need internet access. Maybe you can download the OTA and stick it in the right place , if there's a link somewhere. Is AT&T even up to 4.3 yet? 4.2.2 was skipped.

For The Past 3 Days I Have Tried Several Ways, No Help When i Try It Says No Update Available.
An When I Use The AT&T Update The Box Dissapears.
What's the AT&T update? Anyway, have you confirmed there even is an update? I understand HTC wanted US carriers on 4.3 by some date, but don't recall which or whether it happened.
same problem here..

Its The Software That Comes With AT&T Phones That Allows Them To Update Android Firmware, I Was Wondering If There Was A Way To Remove At&t An Run Stock HTC Sense On The Phone.
I bought Moto E4 Plus, XT1774, Verizon prepaid version from Target a week ago. Bought an unlock code from eBay to unlock it successfully and it is used on Tmobile, all good.
I also removed several Verizon apps via adb commands. But I read somewhere that if I do a factory reset, these Verizon apps will come back. I have not tried it.
A few days ago I saw a system update notice, says new version: NDRS26.58-33-2 is ready to install. My question is:
1, Should I install it just for the security update benefits? I do not know what's in this update, assuming security update.
2, Is there a way to delete this update that is already downloaded to my phone? There appears to be no option to delete this download and make it go away permanently. I will be nagged by this alert every week I suppose if I cannot disable it.
Thanks in advance for any tips ,
Not sure if it will cause issues with what you did. More than likely it will just install the new version, and re-add the apps. Unless you're rooted I don't think you can delete the update. It will keep asking you to install until you do.
Didn't think the E4 Plus would get any updates. I got the Sprint version, and haven't seen any updates yet.

It will continue to get system/security updates, but not OS upgrades. The system/security updates are based on carriers (unless you have an unlocked version then you'll get them from Moto when ready).

With having the sprint version, so far I haven't got any security updates. I have the June 1st security patch. I did flash the unlocked version ROM, so I wonder if I will get an update directly from Moto and not worry about Sprint delaying them.
Another thing I wonder is will Moto release an update soon to take care of krack vulnerability?
I've been through both of these threads and I'm just overwhelmed at this point.

I have a Samsung Note 8 that was purchased on Verizon in the US. I moved to Germany and moved to T-Mobile. As expected, my phone stopped updating. Early into the Oreo experience I played with my phone, flashing and updating but I'm lost as to where to go from here.
It's currently XAA/XAA/VZW and running build R16NW.N950USQ3CRBB.
What do I need to do in order to go back to letting my service provider push me updates? I currently don't have the time to keep playing with my phone and keeping up to date on the forum threads. And every time I try to read like i"m supposed to, I get lost and overwhelmed.
I'm sorry but help would be appreciated.
Are you still in Germany?

You can't get the updates anymore since you left the USA now you have to manually flash the updates yourself using odin flash tool. You can always see what the current firmware update version is by going to Verizon's website and checking it and then download the firmware and flash it and you'll be fine.

Maybe if you flash the unlocked firmware N950U1 you'll be able to get the updates because I have Verizon Note 8 and I get the updates but not from Verizon. Edit: this would be the unlocked firmware N950U1UEU5CRK1..

I agree with @MrMike2182. If you're running the carrier firmware, which it appears you are, then you won't get OTAs. Those are pushed by the carrier, and require you to be in the US.
You can try the unlocked U1 firmware, but I'm not sure that will work or not. Those OTAs are pushed directly by Samsung, but are intended for US devices. You may have to just manually flash updates from now on.
Curious...if you're going to be in Germany for an extended amount of time, why not sell the US Note 8 and get a N950F? Or even upgrade to a N960F?
I use N950U1 in The Netherlands with NLD carrier. OTA updates are received without issues or delays. So if OP debrands his VZN Note by flashing unbranded FW, as stated by MrMike2128 he will be fine.
The Note 8 was a gift as we were leaving the US so as much as I'd like a newer one, I can't afford it right now.
I'll try flashing the crk1 but where do I find it? Thanks everyone for your help.

I'm still on Android 8.0 on my unlocked Moto X4 (XT1900-5). Is anybody else still 8.0 with this model?

Yes, I did not receive the OTA update to pie from Motorola yet (xt1900-7).
Glad to hear it, I was starting to think something was wrong with my handset.
Me too. We were left behind.
OTA server issue?
Are you in the UK? My moto x4 is stuck on the exact same update. XT1900-5, reteu software channel.
Motorola UK's website shows that the Pie update has been released when in actual fact, it has not been released at all. I have a feeling that there has been some error or issue with the OTA server causing no one here to recieve it.
A few people got it in December when it was released for all other variants, but that OTA clearly stopped soon after and now there have been no updates since October. It's a pretty poor performance from Motorola to be honest. I see no reason why they can't at least release security updates for Oreo.
Yep in the UK XT1900-5, unlocked.

With an unlocked bootloader, you usually will not get any OTA updates. If you can download them, then you cannot install them.

I meant unlocked, as in SIM free.
I've emailed Motorola, who told me they contacted their technical team. They are adamant that Pie will be released officially in the "near future" and they are aware there haven't been any updates since October. So, take that as you wish.
The Android 9.0 update has just appeared on my phone today.
Someone over on reddit mentioned that he wasn't getting it ota, but temporarily switched to a SIM from another carrier and it immediately showed up when he booted to the new SIM.
It seems that it now says on Motorola's UK software upgrade page, that the Moto X4 sim free began rolling 9.0 on 24th June 2019.

That would've been me. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence though because the update was released on the same day!
I had a similar experience. XT1900-5 version, running android 8.0.0 when I bought it. Didn't find any updates when I searched to try to update it to android 9 (pie) , I unlocked the bootloader, and later on decided to put a sim in it. After a few minutes of having the sim in, it found the update. The update downloads but when it's downloaded and in the "verifying" stage, it fails, probably because I unlocked the bootloader.
Advice to anyone with a locked bootloader - don't be like me, try putting a sim in the phone and get the update before doing anything else if you want Android 9.

must be stock rom to allow update to complete. Plug it to Motorola Rescue and Smart Assistant to see if it will update it.
Hi,
I just bought an unlocked Verizon S10 5G that I'm using on T-Mobile. It is supposedly a brand new phone so it has never been used on the Verizon network. It's working great so far except that I'm not getting any updates at all (still stuck on March 2019).
Is that because I'm not using it on the Verizon network?
I tried using the Verizon Wireless Software Upgrade Assistant but it says the phone has the latest firmware.
What is the best and easiest way to get updates including Android 10? Would putting in an active Verizon SIM and checking for updates work? Can I flash using Odin using the G977U_VZW_SL2_3.zip firmware that is listed in another thread here?
Thanks in advance!!!!
