Hi there,
Anyone on AT&T can possibly share latest firmware OTA update file with Android 11 for RAZR 5G (XT2071-2)?
As per AT&T site last update (Build version RPS31.Q1-40-34-15-10) was released on July 21, that update finally brings Android 11 to RAZR 5G.
Looks there is no other way to get Android 11 on XT2071-2 rather than via FOTA since 1) AT&T phones have locked bootloader & 2) it's not possible to unlock it via Motorola unlock program (confirmed for my phone).
I live outside of US and can't receive firmware OTA updates as phone should be physically connected to AT&T network.
Still, there is possibility to sideload OTA updates manually via ADB. To complete that proper firmware OTA file needed, here is guidance how OTA url can be captured either via ADB or from Developer menu.
Also, whoever is looking for Razr 5G Full Stock firmware images for different regions/carriers that can be found here
Thanks!

Hey guys!
Today I have purchased my first Samsung device since Galaxy S2 (I've been using xiaomi since then) and I have met a bit of an issue with my phone. The current version installed is One UI 1.1 (June 1 security patch) and the phone says it's the latest version. I have purchased it from Hungarian Telekom provider. Is it possible, that the provider is handling OTA updates? If so, is it possible to install the generic version instead of the provider firmware via odin? I thought provider OTA is no longer an existing stuff, but It seems that it's not.
Thanks for the answers!
Edit: most importantly: is it possible to relock bootloader if I wanted to sell it sometime?
Yes, the provider handles the updates unless you are on the unlocked Samsung firmware in which case Samsung itself will provide updates. There are tons of firmware files floating around the forums here, you might be able to flash one if one works with your phone.
Thanks, I'm surely gonna do it if the bootloader can be locked back.
Frija App should be able to help you download the correct firmware. Just be sure to install the Visual C++ Runtimes (2008 and 2010) before launching the app.
Hi guys,
I have LG V40 from Sprint and it is unlocked. Currently being used on T-mobile network.
Problem: the phone is not receiving security update, in fact the last update is from May 1, 2019.
My question is, can someone capture the URL of OTA download file?
Here is the guides on how to capture: Use windows Software fiddler as proxy server, connect your phone to PC and check update via proxy server.
Please help!
You can try manually updating it. Just download the right firmware for your model.
Why wouldn't you kill two birds with one stone? Cross flash to the US version, thereby unlocking HD voice, Wi-Fi calling, volte, and all the other T-Mobile bands. And update to the January 2020 security release.
I think the real question is, why are you sticking with the Sprint build?

I have a Sprint V40 crossflashed with an unlocked V40 kdz, version V405UA20e. I thought OTA was supposed to work with this, but it looks like there have been several security patches since this one dated January 1, 2020. Was I mistaken in that assumption?
I think that if I flash the latest security patch release with LGUP it'll wipe the phone, so I'd like to at least wait for Android 10 before doing that unless there's a way to preserve my settings or somehow fix OTA. Thanks in advance.
You are mistaken. I have the unlocked version of the V40 Thinq and I can confirm that there has not been an update since then. I recently crossflashed with the EBW version, Open United Kingdom flavor because I was tired of waiting for Android 10.
I purchased an unlocked S10 from Best Buy in Canada and it ended up being a US version of the phone (Samsung support says it's originally from AT&T). It currently has One UI 3.1, Android 11, and the December 1, 2021 patch - all of which appear to be outdated - but attempting a software update on the phone says the software is up to date and Smart Switch also says there's no update.
I've spoken to 8 or 9 Samsung agents but, to put it politely, they've been completely useless and my local Samsung store said they "won't even touch" my phone because it's from the US. I know people will say to flash the new firmware with Odin, but I'm using a mac and Odin seems to be Windows-only. Is there any way for me to get updates on my phone?
Hello riffamortis, look on samfrw you type on search device Sm-G973U the firmware must be present download and flash with odin
https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G973U
look with phone info application for your precise model it can be U see U1 the 2 firmware its android 12
https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G973U1
My phone model no is SM-G970U And sprint firmware preloaded But imei is a Verizon unlocked one. Actually It's imported from usa to Bangladesh. Now I dont get ota updates Which firmware now I will flash
I flashed Verizon firmware last month But it didn’t Work.
Is it safe to flash a stock rom of build no: SM-G970U1(XAA)?
AND IF I DO SO, WILL I GET OTA UPDATES?
Yes you can flash XAA, but you will probably not get OTA updates. Usually, carriers only provide OTA updates when they recognize the phone and it's on their carrier-ROM.
That being said, these phones are too old anyway, so they are not expected to get many updates going forward anyway. They may get a few more quarterly-updates, but not monthly and no new OS versions. For this reason, I wouldn't worry about OTA updates and if you still want updates just apply them yourself via ODIN.
