Guys i have a problem.
I found approved firmware for my 8.4 LTE version version .123
Right now im on .122
I tap the DNS update, it shows in updater, then i turn off DNS so it can verify and install, it reboots and then fails at around 20%
Am i doing anything wrong?
Thanks
wait for the ota to be pushed by huawei and don't mess around with the firmware finder. At least that's what I'd do
It's an incremental OTA or a full one?
Incremental

I have a UK Three S3. I flashed stock rom and all branding appears to have been removed. My phone will not update OTA or via Keis.
My wife has an unbranded S3 and this updates fine OTA and Keis.
As far as I can tell our phones should be the same.
Why won't mine update OTA and what do I need to do to fix this? I know I can use odin but am getting fed up having to manually download updates.

When you go to: system settings/about device/software update/update
what happens?
go to: system settings/about device
what values do you have for `baseband version`, and what date date do you see in the `kernel version`?
The other day my wifes phone auto updated to XELLA while were in a restaurant. I was still on XELL4 and when I tried to update it said I was already running the latest software. This always happens whenever I try to update this way despite new software being available. It always shows "the latest updates have already been installed".
I have used odin to update to XELLA.
My baseband is I9300XXELLA Kernel date is Sat Dec 22.
Anyone any idea?
Hi all,
I'm trying to update firmware on my Droid DNA. Currently I have firmware version 2.08.605.1, the latest before the last OTA update. Now i want to use RUU to try to update to version 3.06.605.4. It fails with error that I got wrong RUU, but I'm positive it is a correct one, because it shows firmware version. OTA updates are not working, showing me no updates. However, under Software update -> Status I see that the update was rejected by user some time ago. As far as I know there must be an option to install rejected updates, but it simply isn't there. Not sure what to do next. Please, help.

Nevermind now, I resolved the issue by first gaining s-off and then using the alternative method for firmware flash by using adb and fastboot in cle that can be found here on forums easily (latest ota for DNA).
Just checked and received a ota update on mine for the January security update and few fixes. Anyone else get it?
Just got it, it was fast update, rebooted and everything is okay
Quick question; I have the KIW-L24 model with TWRP and root by SuperSU, on a stock ROM though. I received the notification for the quick OTA update, but I'm worried it might brick my phone. Is it safe for me to download and uninstall it like the system suggests me to?
It sure took them long enough for this but I also got it updated only yesterday after reverting back to Stock via the UPDATE.APP in Dload folder method and pressing all 3 side buttons and letting it do it's thing.
It actually seems the Honor 5X runs better now but am not exactly sure what changed that yet.
Update.app got installed!

Nothing special, show how can i install it when its not approved
Even if firmware is approved for installation, it is not immediately shown if you check the normal way for updates. That seems to be the only advantage of Firmware Finder. At least this was the case when upgrading to Oreo. The update was shown for 2 weeks in Firmware Finder but not yet approved. Yesterday checked the normal way, no updates, checked in Firmware Finder again and checked if it was approved for installation, which was the case. So I used FF to download and install.
I just purchased a used AT&T SM-G965U. My carrier is Google Fi. It's running Android 8.0 and Samsung Experience 9.0. Build number is G965USQU3BRK1. Last security patch was November 1, 2018. When I try to update OTA or with Smart Switch both claim my phone is up to date.
I started looking into how I might manually update the phone and found some instructional pages for updating via ODIN, but was not able to find the correct firmware to update to Pie using that method. I did however find a thread on the XDA forums with a download link for an SM-G965U Pie build. Someone posted in that thread that it is possible to update the phone with a micro SD in recovery mode. Even with that being the case the firmware.science page linked in the thread specifically says that the firmware will update my phone from version G965USQS3BRK2 to version G965USQU3CSAB. This seems like a problem since my phone is running G965USQU3BRK1 which I assume is an older build based on the BRK1 designation. Will this update method even work with my phone? Do I need to update to BRK2 before I use the firmware linked in the thread? If so is the BRK2 firmware available for download anywhere? Or failing that is there an ODIN firmware update available?
Update: I tried updating via micro SD in recovery mode using a firmware update downloaded from firmware.science that is supposed to update my SM-G965U from version G965USQU3BRK1
to version G965USQU3CSA5. The update was aborted due to "unexpected contents". I transcribed the error at the bottom of this post. Not sure what else I can do if I can't find an ODIN firmware. If I used the modifed ODIN to flash my phone with U1 firmware would that enable updates through normal (OTA/Smart Switch) channels?
E3005: "EMMC://dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modem:83300864:2d921fc2a30290a4f894ef4e5528ab83263913ec:84005376: 12c0577b202561c4a0732793bdbaf3a04eca67f0" has unexpected contents.
E:Error in /sideload/package.zip (Status 7)
Installation Aborted.#1
Update 2: I managed to find the ODIN firmware update files and successfully flashed my phone with a Pie build. Disregard this post.
I'm having the identical problem, only with Verizon SM-G965U. Android 8.0.0, last security update Nov 2018. Can someone guide me to the solution?
Thanks

What firmware are you currently on?
I've done a bit of research since I first posted this and think I know what's going on. This phone was supposedly new, unlocked. Then I found out SM-G965U is actually locked. It booted up with Verizon logo and worked on Verizon network, so I was ok with that. When I checked the firmware version, it was ....BRK1 (I don't have the phone in front of me), which I looked up to be Sprint firmware! This would explain why it doesn't get updates on Verizon's network, wouldn't it? How this came to be, I don't know, but I think I can proceed by getting a later Oreo or maybe Pie version for VZW and flashing it with Odin.
Comments, if any, are welcome.
If memory serves correctly if your firmware is a certain amount of revisions behind what is currently released then the OTA update and samsung switch will say your firmware is up to date. Even though it obviously is not up to date, it has something to do with how far behind in updates the phone is.
In which case you should be able to update your phone using the patched ODIN and the firmware files found on sammobile or via samfirm app. Thee files from sammobile or samfirm are not ones you can flash via SD card in the recovery menu, the OTA files and what are offered on sammobile or samfirm app (and from here unless otherwise specified) are two different things.
I would note that you might have to factory data reset your phone after flashing the new firmware. It's one possible result of flashing a newer firmware to a phone that has an older firmware like that installed.
