Welcome to Android Central! Sorry, can y'all clarify if you're actually on the AT&T network? A carrier-specific telephone usually has to be on that network in social club to receive the official OTA system update.

One possible solution is to go a cheap prepaid AT&T SIM, just for the purpose of updating the system.

It should be a crime to sell AT&T phones like SM-G900A exterior of the United states. They cannot exist updated period.
Really it should be a law-breaking for AT&T to have that much command over a phone you paid the full price for.

I have not been able to observe an updated At&t firmware to load and as far as I tin tell the Bell Marshmallow Update won't work because My Build version is G870AUCU1A..... Where as the Bell Build Version is G870WVLU1C.......

Hello and welcome to Android Central Slater552 !

I am afraid that you cannot flash Bong'due south firmware to the AT&T model. AT&T choose not issue their own firmware through the normal Samsung download sources. Therefore, you lot volition either need to insert an AT&T sim card and connect to their network to receive an OTA update or scour the web in the hope that someone has posted the stock AT&T firmware in a flashable format, with instructions. Failing that, I am afraid yous are screwed I am sorry to say. Generally speaking, AT&T branded phones are the globe's worst phones to use on any network other than AT&T... and AT&T like it just fine that way.

No Feldon old stick. Luckily, for eek2002 , I found a thread over on xda developers forum hither, where some prissy guy had extracted the AT&T update components and fabricated them into a flashable .zip. A lucky break for some AT&T users with the G900A model.

People say that as if there is a Samsung representative at every Best Buy.
How can I discover out which Best Purchase and what hours there is a Samsung Rep in the shop?

I think pretty much all Best Buy stores (excluding the Best Buy Mobile stores) have a Samsung Experience counter, and the hours are the same as the store's.
