Will my previously locked AT&T Streak, which is now unlocked (not rooted), still receive the OTA update to 2.2 Froyo?
as far as i know you should still get the update because i believe when you click update within system settings .all the dell servers do is verify your base band version . and even if you are on tmobile you should get the update because you could do it over wifi (which is faster sometimes). The question is when will att finally go ota. I couldn't wait so i used qdl

I don't believe that's accurate information as far as if your with t-mobile that you will still get the update. The OTA update was pretty much left to At&t to manage and control according to dell reps.
Guess I should have put in my original post that I'm still using AT&T...
Sounds like I'm good to go, thanks for the replys. Now we shall see if the reports are correct that they will roll out the update tomorrow

Hello.
I just bough a T-mobile unlocked Samsung Vibrant and up to now it is working fine. I used the KIES software and saw that there are updates available but I don't know if it is ok to update my phone. Is it still going to work if I install the updates (or it will become locked to T-mobile again)?
I am quite new to this so I would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance

you should be fine, but It depends what kies is trying to update?
if your running stock and your just unlocked you should be fine.
but if your running a custom rom then its pointless to update through kies anyways.
Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately I am not sure what I am running. I bought the phone unlocked. When I go to the About screen, it sais Firmware version 2.1-update1, build number 'Eclair'.
If the update is for the 2.2 firmware, will I have a problem?
Is there any info on this forum where it explains things like 'What does a locked phone mean', unlocking and firmware updates?
Thanks again
Hi all
I recently purchased a Motorola Atrix (having previously had a Galaxy S). I have a couple of questions I thought you fine folk may be able to help with:
I bought the phone unlocked, though originally it was on Orange UK. The firmware version is 4.4.20.MB860.Orange.en.GB - Is this the most up to date? Also, will the fact I am not with Orange affect my ability to gain future updates? (I.e. does it validate that you are an Orange customer when it checks for OTA updates?). I would prefer to just get official OTA updates if possible, rather than mess with manually installing firmware.
Many thanks
James
When you say "unlocked", do you mean just sim-unlocked? If so, then there would be no reason for it to not be updated. As far as getting OTA, I don't see why not. If not, Motorola has the MSU that basically does the update automatically through your computer, you just have to make a few clicks.
For your FW version, I don't know. You can probably Google that.

From what I can gather, it is indeed the latest version. Thanks for the response - I shall await the UK Gingerbread release patiently in that case!
Hi
I missed the HTC One At&t OTA updates ( 4.3 and then the 4.4 Sense 6 ) for my phone. I know i can side load them.
I have been searching for Stock ROMs given during OTA.
Can i directly update to the 4.4 update package and skip the 4.3 update ? Is it safe ?
Also can anybody direct me to the links for the 4.3 package and the 4.4 package and the steps. I have a thread which has the 4.4 package, just was searching for steps and the 4.3 package.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659374
Also, as a curiosity , i read people requesting At&t to 'push' a specific version to a subscriber , by asking a code to be dialed on the phone. How does this system work ? Do they push on the basics of IMEI ?
One more experimental thing, if i change the date of my phone back when 4.3 was released , is it possible that i shall get a OTA update from At&t server when i check for it ?? has anybody tried this ?

Surpisingy HTC website tells a way to flash ROM on t-mobile HTC one but not on At&t one. It says OTA only.

If you are not in the US or on AT&T then the push request would not work for you either as it come from AT&T.
No way to get At&t update if outside US and not on At&t. ROM flashing is the way.
if you are not in US and not on At&t network currently . I checked there are no proper OTA files for the AT&T to update via OTA method if you are stuck on 4.1 ( 1.25. xxxx) . Via OTA files user data is preserved. No need to re-setup your device.
So you can't just go without flashing the phone and re-setup of old apps and stuff is required.
Now that you have to flash the phone its so much better to leave At&T builds. They have the highest amount of junk ( bloatware) in their builds. At&t phone book app i hate you.
So, do one step more and convert your phone to a generic version. US developer version is the best. Updates are faster and directly from HTC. And Rom has no issues.
That one step more is changing your CID and MEID in fastboot menu. ( it requires a S-off , and S-off might require a root. Root might require a TWRP recovery and SU binary steps ) .
If you on 1.44 Hboot the story is easy , just s-off via revone and unlock bootloader( i guess not needed !) and then flash a JB (4.3) binary first and then update to KK. Don't jump to KK directly with RUU.exe method . It fails with image error 158. I spent 5 hours figuring why this error !!!
Also can be converted to any other edition by changing the respective CID and MEID. Later make sure the CID is correct to receive the future OTA updates.
PS : T-Mobile is so much better in terms of pushing OTA. I had a m7 t-mobile SIM unlocked outside US. Never had a issue for any OTA. All were pushed on time.
Very unprofessional of At&t, that they want only their 'active' At&t members only to get the updates.
IF they see that the update binary is already same for all and is ready, its just server bandwidth they need, to extend OTA to non-At&t subscribers using an At&t phone.
Hello all.
SM-G965U, was AT&T but now unlocked for Fi. In the US.
Build: R16NW.G965USQS3BRJ6
Security Patch: Nov 1
What do I need to do to get back to the OTA schedule? I'm presuming its to flash onto an unlocked ROM but I can't work out exactly which thread I need to be following to make that happen.
That is the newest update until they release Pie. You can manually flash a beta version of Pie or sign up for the beta program.

Hi Electroz,
I'm still showing 'no update available' even with unlocked US apparently getting the update. Is there anything else I have to do? :/

Wait a few days, the rollout might not be instantaneous
It's unlocked but still run the same AT&T branded firmware. All AT&T phone requires an ATT sim card and in US to receive OTA. It looks like you are on Fi so you need to get an active ATT sim from a friend to receive update.
What is the alternative to flashing some sort of generic ROM instead? Specifically what ROM would I need?
you need firmware version SM-G965USQU3CSAB THATS THE PIE UPDATE . it rebrands based on sim card so you wil be branded tmobile on project fi . here the thread with the link u want https://downloadmirror.co/2CXl/G965USQU3CSAB_G965UOYN3CSAB_CCT.zip

Thanks. I think I'm actually going to go with SM-G965U1 G965U1UEU3CSA8 because I don't believe you get any carrier features with Fi, even if it piggybacks on Tmobile anyway.
Hello, looking for some help to see if anyone can help me find the firmware of my A526U specifically for AT&T? I have moved my phone over from TMobile where I purchased it from, and am looking to re-flash it to AT&T. Was working fine for a few months, now I'm no longer able to make or receive calls.
After inserting the new AT&T SIM card, the TMobile splash screen still shows up. The Service Provider software version reflects TMobile still as well and I'm concerned that for whatever reason the phone did not fully update after inserting the new SIM. I spent 2 hours on the phone with AT&T support after the store said they couldn't help me. Pulled the SIM card out, restarted phone, put it back in, reset network settings etc. I've searched sammobile and I cannot find the AT&T firmware, only TMobile, Sprint, and TMK. I would sincerely be greateful please if anyone could help me by pointing me in the right direction for the firmware for this model phone.
AT&T doesn't make their firmware available publicly - for any device. I have a source who can get me Samsung firmware for any USA device - even AT&T. But he charges me for each one
I appreciate the quick response! Is there any option I have here? Could I try flashing a "U1" firmware to his phone then? He's currently on A526USQS4CVA6. I actually found your other post as I was also working on my note 10 plus - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/n975u-and-n975u1-firmware-links-here.3957648/. If I'm reading that correctly, I should be able to correct? If so, how can I tell if the version I'm downloading is "downgrading the bootloader"

1. Yes, you can try flashing U1 if you want
2. You can't "downgrade the bootloader" - Odin won't let you.
3. In A526USQS4CVA6, "4" is the position of the bootloader level/revision/binary. Make sure that whatever U1 firmware you download also has a 4 in that spot and you'll be fine. (Or just get the firmware from Frija or one of the other similar firmware download tools, because those throw you whatever the newest version is automatically)

Thank you very much sir! I shall give this a go this weekend! You guys rock!
My AT&T N10+ N975U is running on Pie. It transitioned seamlessly with no changes made on my end. It was already using 4G VoLTE though. Same sim card.
I would contact AT&T advanced tech support as there may be an easier way.
4G VoLTE needs to be enabled in hidden settings.

Your AT&T phone? So it's originally an AT&T model that you're still using with them? That's not the same situation that the OP is in

The U is the AT&T variant vs the U1 which is the unlocked variant, correct?

Yup. But OP has a T-Mobile model that they moved to AT&T. There's also no guarantee that a Note 10+ will work the exact same way as an A52. You're also running 3 year old firmware, while OP is fully updated.
So i don't see the correlation.

The old firmware works fine on 4G VoLTE... that's likely not the issue. What is the issue is it wasn't running on 4G VoLTE so it's likely the settings and sim card need updating not the firmware.
Hi All, thought I would provide an update... After spending hours on the phone with AT&T support this week and being frustrated with the AT&T store, I decided to proceed forward with flashing the U1 version. What started this all was last week my son could no longer make or receive calls on his AT&T A52 phone (we ported it from TMobile September 2021). The store and AT&T advanced tech support said there were issues with people's BYOD devices, even though the A526U and A526U1 shows on the supported devices list. The store rep said he's been getting people in left and right that can't make or receive calls, and all they can do is upsell customers to an AT&T branded phone.
SO... my son's phone was on A526USQS4CVA6. Startup screen showed TMobile still, even with the AT&T SIM card in it. I proceed to flash the A526U1OYM4CVB2_ATT that I found from Sammobile. Was hoping someone had just the "U" version but I couldn't find this anywhere. When doing the flash, I used the Home_CSC file (I had to download a patched version of ODIN as it was stuck as setting up connection) and when it finished it would just keep going back to the download screen on the phone and I freaked out. I did some more research and decided to flash again using CSC instead of Home.CSC (I did a backup using smart switch on my PC luckily). This WORKED! I'm guessing because the software version he was on was different than what I was trying to flash too so maybe this is why I needed the CSC for a clean flash (there was no user data file that downloaded from SAMMOBILE).
Now, calls are working on my son's phone again! AND his service provider software version now reflects ATT vs TMB! Man this has been one heck of a journey lol. I've seen numerous forums on google of people having the same trouble with me, their BYOD devices not working. Seems a flash of U1 worked for me, so hopefully this helps others out there!
