Hello guys, i Recently bought an at&t Alpha G850A used phone in Pakistand. Everything is perfect except its not updating when i go to about device section BUILD NUMBER is KTU84P.G850AUCU1ANH8 Whereas at&t has released an update for this phone which is BUILD NUMBER G850AUCU1ANL1. When i try to update it searches for the update for some time and then says update interrupted there is no new update for your device try again in 24 hours.
Q1) Is it because i am using it on MOBILINK NETWORK (Its a local network in pakistan) ? do i have to be on at&t sim to update?
Q2) Is there anyway i can update it manually?
*note i have already tried updating after factory reset.
Any help will be appreciated.

Try to update it via Kies or download it from http://sammobile.com and flash it via ODIN. Are you connected to any wi-fi network when you try to download the firmware or just cellular data?

I have tried Kies it says this is the latest software available whereas i know it is not.
2) I have tried both, wifi and cellular.
There are no firmwares for ALPHA SM-G850A on sam mobile........at&t variant has TERRIBLE support and no root yet. There was a guy who posted a possible root exploit here but nobody bothered so my guess is this device will soon be joining the list of those phones who were never rooted.

Just a ideea....why don`t u flash the phone with SM-G850F firmware?
is it safe to do so? woudnt it brick the phone as the processors are different
Do not flash 850F firmware on 850A, there is too much diference between hardware in those phones. You will brick your phone!
Your phone is similar to :
SM-G850W for Canada
SM-G8508S for East & Southeast Asia
So maybe you can try to find can you flash software for those models...
Can anyone please confirm if i can flash the firmwares of SM-G850W for Canada or SM-G8508S on SM-G850A ?

Hey guys, I am new to the S3 and Andriod as I used to be an iPhone user before. I bought a GT-i9300 from Hong Kong and brought it back to Canada and cant seem to get any software updates. I am currently sitting at build number I9300ZSALG3, just wondering if anyone could help me out doing an OTA update or via Kies or if this is the latest version. My baseband version is I9300XXLG3

Your firmware is from Taiwan..and for it the latest version is what you are currently using..however you dont need to wait for updates you can download firmware for United Kingdom the latest is I9300XXBLG8..you can download it from here..
http://samsung-updates.com/get/58/Samsung_Firmware_GT-I9300_BTU_I9300XXBLG8_Android_4_0_4.html
then flash it via odin...search these threads for the method to do so..
Hi man, Unlike iphone,offical rom is always the worst one.It usually uses more memory and have bad battery management.You can try another rom such as mike's.
Sent from my lovely GT-I9300,by the way,I'm a Chinese!Glad to communicate with you

Thank you! I am not too familiar with flashing with Android again because it is something new and if anything were to happen I wouldn't know how to fix it since I have been an iPhone user. Is flashing firmware any different from jailbreaking the iPhone? - in terms of being safer. Also, how can I be 100% sure that the UK version will work on my phone as well as keep my unlock.

Hey, again as I said to the previous member, I am not too familiar with flashing nor am I keen on doing it just because I am new to the Android community

Flashing the firmware is 100% safe if you follow the steps..it does not root your phone so it is not jailbreaking...so you will also not loose your warranty...
the firmwares are almost the same for every region, samsung being an a***le released different firmwares for different regions with different CSC....
but i am quite sure it will work on you region as you are already using Taiwan firmware in Canada...in any case download the Taiwan specific firmware also..so if anything goes wrong you can revert back...
by the way I am in India using BTU firmware..
Me too...
Along the same lines, I have an I-9300 sgs3 with South Africa firmware (XFE), i9300xxale9, but I'm using it in the United States, on AT&T, and am not able to receive updates thru either Kies or Update menu. I will NOT be traveling outside the US anytime soon. What should I load that would let me receive updates here in the States OTA?
I have searched and cant find an answer ...
I have a completely stock , non rooted and sim free UK S3.
I got the terrible 4.3 update and suffered for a few weeks like the rest of us.
I then got the OTA MK6 25mb update which has thankfully given me back a phone I like.
However... I now have one small issue ....
If I connect my phone to Kies it says ...
Your current firmware version is not supported by kies for firmware update.
Current firmware version : PDA:MK6 / PHONE:MK6 / CSC:MK6 (BTU)
Why is this happening and what does it mean ?
Thanks

Everyone will have this at the moment the server Kies connects to doesn't currently recognise the firmware as its only an OTA update at this time
Ah ok. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
I was beginning to think something was wrong with the phone.
I Have tried to install G925FXXU3QOK9 to have voLTE on my phone ... But it has bricked my phone. The intallation with odin failed.
I have all lost and i don't know how I tried, but after 2 hours to try to reinstall my last firmware OH9, it was ok...
But after this, I Try again and impossible... FAIL on ODIN...
I'm rooted and I Have TWRP.
Do you think Samsung made something that is forbidden to install new update???
THANK YOU...
I Would like new update for voLTE.... And I can't...
Do you think I could Flash the new update from Nordic Countries which includes the voLTE? and is it ok for FRANCE (my carrier accepts voLTE).
Thank you

The country of the firmware doesn't matter, as long as the firmware is for your device model.

The reason it says your on the latest firmware is because you are rooted. At&t firmware is hard to come by as they lock the bootloader and device down. If you are not bothered about root flash stock firmware and you can uodate OTA.
I have the same problem except that my phone is not rooted, im on stock AT&T Android 5, but it still says i have the latest firmware.
Someone told me that it has to be connected to AT&T cell towers to find the update but even that didn't work for me.

I will give it a shot but first i need to find the stock firmware because its hard to find for my device specifications, and i will let you know if it worked for me
Edit: flashing the stock firmware locks phone to only at&t network since i use different network i will not try to update it
I have a Galaxy s21 olympic edition with number SM-G991Q and i am not receiving montly updates. The last update was the August 2021 patch and was installed on August 30th.
Also smart switch on Windows is not detecting Any new updates.
I tried to reset the device without luck getting new updates.
Does anybody has the same problems with the Galaxy s21 SM-G991Q not receiving updates?
I have this phone too, I also only got the August security update.
Don't worry, they probably lost their update schedule before switching to Android 12. I got updates yesterday for SM-G9910.
I have the same phone and find it odd that it doesn't show up on sammobile or anywhere else.
Does anyone know where to find original firmwares for it?
I have too G991Q and I need flash to XAA because I need BAND 20 LTE my country help me pls or altwrnative stock ROM?

Well on november 8th i finally got the october 2021 update. Hopefully the android 12 update will follow zoon
I have a question about the G991Q, did any of you get the ESIM to work yet? It is currently software locked - in theory it should have it because it is a Snapdragon chip
Do you have Android 12 on G991Q already? Im checking every day but still no luck Should I install non olympic rom? Will that work? Thanks
@Corbik
This particular variant has yet to receive the stable One UI 4/Android 12 update.
@jussy
See here; the model number of this variant is SM-G991Q and the CSC is SJP. At the time of posting this, the latest available firmware version is G991QOPU1AUJ2.
my version is g9910 and still no update to android 12.
last version a11 octuber security update....
whats happend....
What standard version would be closest to G991Q? I tried to flash U1 ROM but no luck
Friends i'm also with the SM-G991Q olympic version.. I really need to switch to CSC from ZTO, to try to use VOLTE and WIFI CALLING from my operator in my country, Brazil!
Can someone please help me change CSC to ZTO ? I tried the tutorial above, but it doesn't open anything when typing the codes, were you able to change? I saw that it only works on android 10. but we are on android 11.
I saw that you have the option to change CSC ANDROID 11 via Samkey, but I believe it still doesn't have support for our SM-G991Q device.

Have you tried switching to another S21 variant's ROM with Snapdragon 888? it worked out ?
If it doesn't work, I think I found our ROM to perform restoration via ODIN, in brink event:

Yes I tried the U1 version since it should be US version with Snapdragon888.
That ROM you found, based on the numbers is exactly what is in my phone now.
I think I will just wait some more time to get official Android 12 update, hopefully our special version wont be forgotten
But If somebody know which ROM would also work for SM-G991Q and ideally would also support all languages and features (esim for example) please share
