Well, after months of exhaustive searching and trawling the deep dark corners of the internet, i can finally say: THERE IS NO FRICKING FIRMWARE FOR THIS PHONE!
Ok, venting done. The AT&T variant really does seem to not have any firmware available anywhere. I would like to throw this little request out there. If anyone has a line on the firmware, please please please share. It would save crap-ton of us with borked or messed up phones out there.
Thanks!
AT&T Has not released the firmware and probably won't for another year or so they are very stingy with firmware because they don't make money on repairs if someone can just fix their problem with flashing the firmware themselves

And for this very reason AT&T are A55#0L35... We probably won't get Nougat until the G6 is here or worse - we'll just be left out cold altogether like they did us with the Optimus G (didn't get KitKat, everyone else did).
Perhaps soon we should leave AT&T out of our wallets.
I thought legally they had to make it available

Ah don't worry. Already tried it. Don't. Your phone will be stuck in download mode. I have and that's the state i ended up in. Does not really matter since the phone is already borked.
AT&T can go suck on a hairy donkey knee. What sort of stupidity leads to decisions like these??? After the debacle that was my V10 from at&t, i am never buying another phone that came from them... Excepting the Nexus phones. No point whatsover
Hi
I live outside US so I can't get the OTA but I discovered 2 things:
- Can anyone try to capture the OTA with this https://www.androidsage.com/2016/01/...ndroid-device/
- looking to the settings under *#546368#*820# there is the an address where the update should be, but I can reach it because I'm not under ATT network, can someone try to access this page https://xdmua.wireless.labs.att.com/jsp/login/login.jsp the log in could be 356441071133694 password eimupcded3rkti1e
I hope we can get it!!

You're the 136,794,308th person to ask this inane question on XDA. Accordingly, Samsung have advised there will now be no official ICS firmware released for the SGS2, ever. Nor will there be any source code whatsoever released (which means CM9 won't be progressing from its current alpha build status, also ever).
Are you happy now ?
Also, you made the Baby Jebus cry.

Hi; is there an update for z3v with build N° 23.1.D.0.239 ?
i cant find it in xperifirm !!
Latest firmware for Z3v in xperifirm is 23.0.E.1.44 / R19B
Do you have the most recent Xperifirm?
This is also the latest firmware that VZW will send if you check for software updates.
yes my device shows 23.0.E.1.44 / R19B . and in right side in the same line S/O !
and it tells me that if it is S/O; i should use the software updater for the latest update so i did but i get the message error during DM session

Exactly this. Nowhere else on the internet has the update version number as precise as that. Download it, share it on here, you're making headlines everywhere. Xperiablog, GSMArena, Android Authority, etc.

The TC is quite mysterious. He doesn't directly respond to sharing other information about it.
What I do guess is trying to reinstall the program based in a different region. Try somewhere in Europe or northern Europe. Wherever it seems that Lollipop was first released and see if the phone would get recognized there. Or even try to mimic the settings from the picture posted somehow.
I loaded this on my Macbook.
It would not recognize my Z3V either.

I set my vpn in france & london. Neither yielded a different file. I guess the program just goes off of system language (hence the French in the OP's followup)
Well I'll be damned how Verizon could just hold onto it to put bloat in it.
I updated my recently bought tablet to Lollipop. I wanted to root it before I do it, but it was some hell of a trouble for me to get root because instructions were all over the place. I gave up on it halfway, go back to Kit Kat, then flashed the official Lollipop firmware. I have to say, it feels just as smooth if not better, and the whole Material design looks dazzling. Once it's going for the Z3v, I'm pretty sure it's definitely worth it despite all that's said from experience on the Galaxy S5.
One thing I do hope they add is a Clear All button for the Recents menu. It'd be convenient, but definitely a lot more convenient on the tablet because of the bigger touchscreen area.
A Tech guy I spoke to 2 days ago (during a service call) informed me that the Z3v voLTE update is scheduled for the end of the month!
I assume that would be included in the Lollipop update?!?

I googled solutions to fix "Your device is not compatible with this version" when downloading new apps, and followed the directions on this video. My phone started having the issue described (reboot loop), so I attempted to follow the accompanying video, but could not get it to work. I figured if I did a factory reset, it would put my phone back to how it was, erasing the changes I tried to make. However, it did not fix the issue.
I just bought this phone 3 weeks ago and now I can't use it. I'm on a fixed income (Peace Corps volunteer on a living stipend) and spent nearly my whole month's allowance to get this phone. Right now I can't afford to take it to a Samsung store to fix it, and I'd prefer not taking it there anyway as I'm in a city that I don't live in right now which is clear across the country from my home, so if I take it there, I may have to leave before they are able to fix it.
Is there someone here who would be willing to skype-walk me through trying to fix the phone on my own? Apparently I'm not capable of doing it myself, and I really want my phone fixed.
Thanks!

And Welcome to XDA
I'm currently holding the A526U1 bought unlocked and on Metro as a carrier - my CSC appears to be TMK. (Unrooted, though I probably don't need to specify that with that U1) As of right now I still haven't gotten the Android 12 update, though a friend with the A52 5G on T-Mobile has, and that was about a week ago. I sort of expected to get mine pretty soon afterwards, with Metro being owned by T-Mobile and all, but nope, not the case. Was wondering where everyone else in the US is on the update, both on the large carriers and the smaller ones. I'm curious as to whether we're "mostly there" or still just getting started on the rollout.
Actually, it says on the T-Mobile website that their latest update is 12. https://www.t-mobile.com/support/de...a52-5g/software-updates-samsung-galaxy-a52-5g - I haven't asked him what model number he has, but he otherwise has the A52 5G and lives in the northeastern US just like I do. So it's definitely here, but not on my model/CSC.
Ah, yeah! I provided the info about my particular model but really was curious about the full, wider net in the US; my bad not clarifying further on that part!

I also got the latest security patch just a few days ago.. I will say, there seems to be some glitches in this latest Android. For instance when typing sometimes the keyboard just disappears.. Plus the soft keys disappear and I can not exit back to the home screen.. This is mostly after watching videos online.. And a few times when I had the phone app open, I could not view recent calls or access my contacts, except opening up the contact app.

My friend on T-Mobile says he's gotten at least two follow-up patches after the main patch and was actually complaining about having to update so often, to which I said "dude you WANT those patches after a big OS update, they're cleaning up stuff that you're otherwise going to run into" - and I'd guess this is a good example of some of that stuff they haven't gotten to yet. I still have not received the new update, interestingly - I'm not sure whether Metro is being careful not to release a update that isn't quite finished baking or if my exact model isn't prioritized, but it would be nice to think that the version I end up with is a little more polished than the one you're having to deal with (boy figuring out quotes took me a hot second)
This is what I was talking about. The missing soft keys. They came back after swiping to take a screen shot

That's very weird. Okay Metro if you want to take your time making sure I don't gotta deal with that I'm cool honestly. Tho tbh this patch from Android 11 I'm on I have weird activity happen with Gboard - Gboard will try to activate but end up flashing open and then shut again, sometimes with what may be a real flash of noise on the screen that is hard for my eyes to actually detect. It's hard to predict when it will happen but it happens often enough! On the videos, not even scrolling back upwards makes the soft keys come back? (I ask because scrolling down in the gallery makes them disappear for me until I go up again)
Nope not even scrolling. I have let the screen time out then open again. Then the keys reappear.

I have the same exact model as you: A526U1, but I'm unlocked on AT&T. I too still do not have the Android 12/One UI 4 update. So it's definitely not a Metro thing that's holding up your update. I think they haven't updated it because not every carrier has finished testing it? Really not sure, but I'm super frustrated that other A52 5Gs got it here in the US but not the U1.
I do (and I assume you also do) have the January security patch.

I recently found that information that said that unlocked phones need to be tested on every carrier before being updated, and truthfully at this point seeing the bugs that they're still working through, I feel like that might come out as an advantage for us unlocked users? I'm not sure if it works the way I think it works but it's almost like everybody who isn't unlocked ends up beta testing for the unlocked users?
I do have the January security patch like you, but yeah, no big update yet. But I've contented myself with that on the logic above.
For anyone curious, I received the update last night for my unlocked A52 5G on Metro - so far I haven't noticed any bugs - in fact I think some minor issues I had seen with my display are gone? But there's still time lol. Hex theming is running successfully on it, as a sidenote
I actually got my update for Android 12 and One UI 4.0 a couple weeks ago and another security patch about a week later. From what I have read it has only been released for the A52 5G phones that are not carrier locked. Mine is the SM-A526U and I use with MetroPCS. So far I haven't had any issues with my updates and everything is working good. I did flash a custom GCAM 8.3 port from the new Google Pixel before the 12 update but both camera apps work pretty well with GCAM only having slightly better features. It does take some tinkering with as the ported app at first would take between 1-2 seconds to actually take the picture
