No AT&T OTA Since May on S20 Ultra - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

I haven't received any OTA since I got the phone in May. My son's phone is stuck on July. I called AT&T and they said they sent an update to my phone, but it keeps saying it is up to date. AT&T pushed the update 2 days ago. I've tried Smart Switch on Windows and it says it is up to date. I've set the date forward 1, 2, 3 days and it still says up to date. It won't even check. It just comes back and says up to date. Any tips?

Download the latest firmware from samfw.com and flash with Odin
Or download using Frija here on XDA

The issue is you cannot get AT&T firmware to flash. One of the AT&T features I need (only one actually) is Wi-Fi calling because I don't have great service inside the house. Outside the house isn't an issue.

Exactly it needs wifi. You can manually force it to look for updates in settings too when you have wifi.
AT&T also has special "update cell towers" can't recall what they call them. They're few but they are there.
All that said updates are overrated and can cripple your phone especially AT&T's junk.
You been warned.
I've run dinosaur Android's for years and never did a forced reload due to virus or trojan.
I'm still on Pie on my 10+ and it likey will never be updated as it runs well and looks great.
Q's scoped storage really sucks...

Well ATT suck un updates I have s20 ultra on ATT and I receive sep 1 update and I cheeked everyday for the updates and I gut it like 3 to 4 days ago. If you use smart switch it will always say is up to date the best thing y can say is just wait a bit more maybe in your area is a bit delayed in updates and also use the ATT sim card that was included in the box when you gut the phone that's my best advice since is hard to find the ATT Firmware's online

I used this post to flash with AT&T and I am now getting all the updates.

New OTA - AOJ1

Hey guys and gals, there is a new OTA available. Build number AOJ1. It comes in at almost 119mb.
It is still 5.1.1 and just general performance improvements, etc. I haven't had a chance to run it through its paces yet. I will update as I have a better idea of how it is.

Running On Samsung Galaxy Note 5 N920A
Ok... I'll jump. Already ran the Fall update on Winders 10, might as well throw my phone into early-adoption-land as well.
Not finding this update on my phone. On Cricket Wireless network running on unlocked AT&T version. Since Cricket uses AT&T network, it shouldn't matter much. Is this available via Smart Switch yet or strictly OTA?
Might be prep for Marshmallow
Does anyone have an offline copy of this or previous version that I can flash through odin? I am 2 versions behind and software update says I m on the latest.

Contact AT&T tech support by online chat and they can push the update to your phone. (I did that for one of the Note 5s I'm helping to maintain.)

Tried the online chat. The customer rep refused to push said they have no ability to contact the phone as Cricket Wireless is servicing it. I think its all BS.. the rep didn't know what she was talking. Tried another rep, same answer. I have used TMobile Note Edge on Cricket Wireless and always got the latest OTA updates.

The problem here is that your using Cricket, even though the phone may be on an AT&T Network, AT&T will not recognize the device as being on their network. AT&T is always fairly strict with who, what, and when they roll out updates. It is also possible it just isn't available in the area you are as well. If all else fails go to a Best Buy and have them flash the device to the most current at the Samsung Kiosk. Though they are usually about a month or so behind on updates typically, at least last I recall anyway. Believe me if AT&T Execs had their way I am more than willing to bet they would lock their phones down so hard no one would be able to take their phones to another carrier. T-Mobile on the other hand is fairly open with what people do with their cellphones hence the reason most of their phones can be rooted etc.
On am on at&t with an AT&T phone and I am on old version? I called at &t and Rep says they cannot push an update? Ended up having me call asurion. Insurance company for the phone and they have no idea? Any help in this matter would be great.

Is the OTA pushed file stored somewhere on the phone? May be it can be flashed thru odin?

Huh.. well then I guess I lucked out ?
I think you might be one of the lucky beta testers.
I got the update. Last week.
ATT site is live with the update, still nothing for me and software update check doesn't show anything.
What am I missing here?
Ok, I need advice....I'm in Japan for work I had to change to a local sim to get coverage, I don't have the ATT sim with me. How do I get the OTA update?
I believe that is the reason the update isn't materializing.
Anyone in the US get the update yet
Has anyone on AT&T in the US with an H871 received the Oreo update yet. I'm on the east coast and nothing here

Spoke with AT&T
I chatted with ATT today and they said it was an issue with them, that my phone should have gotten the update. I have to wait for 24 hours to see if it updates they will email me tomorrow to see if I got it, though I have to check it manually. I suggest anyone that didn't get the Oreo update to chat with att from the website and they will get it for you.
there is any chance to get one f...ing official kdz for the att&t? how is that possible that nobody can create or make a official kdz for the att&t

Some of you have already received the Oreo update ... or for some reason AT & T stopped the updates
A few days ago I bought a LG G6 H871 (AT & t) and I thought that I was going to get Oreo immediately and still nothing happens ... I have read several forums and some are updated but others are not.
So I never received the update after AT&T when they said they "pushed" it to my phone. Then today chatted them again for 30 mins they couldn't do a thing. A supervisor called me and spoke to me for 10 minutes asking for the build number the IEMI. His final response was that AT&T did not push the update just the base band version so the phone can receive the update from yep LG. He gave me LG'S 80 number spoke to them they said Google actually pushes the update not LG.. I said so why did you open this big deal update center then she didn't have an answer.What a joke. I'm still thinking of moving onto an iPhone as much as I hate saying that but the Android updates just don't cut it and with locked boot loaders what's the diff. AT&T said the update has been available for the G6 (H871) since June 5th... SO WHERE THE HELL IS IT, I give up

Since June 5 and nothing happens, incredible! I tried to use LG BRIDGE, but I received a notification '' Verification error '' so I do not even use LG BRIDGE to update it, it's for these reasons that phone companies and manufacturers lose prestige, I think that just like you will use IPHONE once again . less problems.

Purchased an att 837a on release week, still have never gotten an update.

I have never gotten an update. It is sitting on the august 1 patch, and has been ever since I got it. I click the update button, it always says it is up to date. Is there anything that I can do to overcome this issue?
Do you have an AT&T SIM in it? I needed that with my old Galaxy tab E

AT&T version Unlocked-No Updates

As the headline states, I bought a Fold on launch day here in the U.S. My only option was the AT&T version as best buy was allocated only 6 units for the entire state on launch date and they were all AT&T models. Well, I am a T-Mobile user so I got the phone unlocked by a third party. Cost me $55 and had to hook it up to my PC but the phone was unlocked in less than three minutes. Phone is awesome in every aspect and although I still have bloatware and the AT&T logo on startup, the phone is amazing.
Problem: I see articles and postings about updates to the phone. Security patches, firmware updates that happened in October and now November yet my phone get none of them. Did some research and read a lot of back and forth over whether it was Samsung or AT&T or T-Mobile as to who would provide updates. Well, T-mobile doesn't carry the phone, AT&T will not update an unlocked phone of theirs and Samsung smart switch also does not work with AT&T branded, unlocked phones.
So here I sit with August 2019 security software and old firmware. with no way to get these updates. It's been ages since I rooted (or Jailbroke) a phone but it seems like this might be my only option unless you guys can suggest a way for me to get these updates. I would prefer to find a simple easy way to get this done over rooting but I don't even know if there is such a thing.
Any help or insight appreciated, thanks in advance for your time and efforts.

Change the s/w from AT&T ("U") to unlocked ("U1"). There's a thread in this forum with the files you need to download and instructions elsewhere on XDA. I changed my AT&T-branded Fold from U to U1 the day I set it up and have received two updates directly from Samsung. I'm currently on SK1 with the November security update. Leaving the phone running AT&T s/w prevents you from running call and messaging continuity and Hiya for caller ID and spam protection which are both pretty cool.

Thanks neighbor I manually updated to the latest. Hopefully I will get the next updates normally.
I successfully flashed U1 ASHA......no updates as of yet. Says I'm up to date but security patch is still August. Fingers crossed I catch the next one.
Do guys know if I do the flash to U1 unlocked. Does VZW wifi calling/texting work?

Ok, I read every page of this very long thread and am more confused than when I looked at the initial page. It has been several years since I have used odin to flash a phone. Would someone be kind enough to put a link to the latest U1 firmware and Odin download so I can get off to the right start?
I have AT&T Fold unlocked on the original firmware as I never received any OTA updates. Can I go straight to the latest one or do I need to do it in steps?
Much appreciated!
Edit: Just realized this was not posted on the long thread I was referring to, but still valid questions. There was another thread that was 14 pages long which I have been posting on as well.
I am having trouble getting the flash to work. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Android 10 update in USA

My Tab S4 updated last night to Android 10.. Texas, USA.
Update took a long time to download, more than 30 minutes.
After it completed, it was unable to see any wifi networks, but fixed itself with a reboot.
No Dex on Pc.
Haven't played with anything else yet.

I had another wifi outage today - tablet was connected and sitting on my desk, came back a few hours later and it didn't see any wifi networks. Turned wifi off and back on, and saw them again & reconnected.

I have a Verizon galaxy tab s4, SM-T837V, and I can't get an answer from Verizon. Yes it is available, but the next tech says it is not. Samsung says it is available if you want to use a computer to load it or send them my tablet so it can be flushed. 10 day turn around not to mention the cost. Last night Verizon technician was useless. As most are.
