As usual, the OTA update is having a staged rollout. You can either wait for a pop-up notification or check it manually. To give it a self-check, head over to the Settings app > Software update and tap on Download and install. Also, we suggest you switch over to a WiFi network before downloading the update to avoid data charges.

  1. Hi, I purchased a Samsung galaxy A 53 5G in Guilford and now I’m in Sri Lanka. Now the phone is stuck with the logo popping up. The local agent here says that they haven’t got the required software to repair it. What do I do. Please help me
    Thank you

  3. Carrier unlocked July update but based on AT&T’s network? Pardon my ignorance on this update fiasco that still exists. Do other networks get different firmware for an unlocked phone?

  4. An unlocked firmware update based on AT&T’s network? The update process is still as cloudy as ever. Does every U.S. carrier get their own separate firmware update for an unlocked phone?
