NO UPDATE?

Sorry, on a train in a different country.

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/security/

Try Sammobile. com - Firmware - then there's a little link for the latest security patch. I no longer have a Samsung.

Are there no updates for the AT&T versions of this phone?.. I’ve had this phone since launch day, and I’m still on the February 1, 2021 security patch level..

(Seems like T-Mobile, Verizon, etc already got theirs)
If you are on the unlocked phone, SM-G998U1, the latest release for AT&T is the 13th May release... G998U1UEU3AUDD

If your phone is carrier locked to AT&T, SM-G998U, I believe it is the same release but unlike the unlocked phones, it is pushed out by AT&T and not by Samsung. Therefore, it will not appear on SamMobile or Frija to download.

But they'll be able to show what the last AT&T patch was - right? I wouldn't bother with firmware if I'm only waiting a couple of months. It's the UI updates that get me all excited :p:D

As per the link in my previous post, the AUDD release for unlocked model has the May security patch. No info on locked AT&T phones on SamMobile.

The latest firmware release for the carrier locked AT&T model is shown as G998USQU2AUCC. Released 23rd April and has the April Android Security patch.

See the AT&T Latest Update site, here...

I am afraid that being unable to update the carrier locked AT&T phones is a known issue and you will need to visit an AT&T store.

Great info and links, thanks. The AC forum thread would be a worthwhile read for the OP.

@FRESHCMB some owners, or all, regularly get delayed patches with AT&T devices.

Now I’m hearing of a new "JUNE" update… still stuck on "Feb 1" security patch

And "Smart Switch" says I’m on the latest software

…. Sigh!

Model: SM-G998U
Baseband: G998USQU1AUAJ
I am sorry to sat that being able to update via AT&T on their carrier locked phones is a known issue. See post #12, above.
