Cant Download Android 9

[erichamby]

I have a Note8 thats an old AT&T but currently using a Straight Talk sim and service. Been trying to upgrade from 8.0 to 9.0 but telling me no more updates are available... should i be doing something different.

You could try a factory reset, as this can sometimes sort no OTA coming through. I think you will have to download each update released in order though.

You could just download the latest filmware for your device from SamMobile and flash the filmware with Odin (using Odin 13.3.1)

This is exactly what you need to do. If you have a u variant grab the carrier-specific copy of what carrier you are currently on. Realisitically speaking, it doesn't matter which version you grab as they're all the same, but different carriers.

My N950u wouldn't upgrade once I put a Verizon sim in it, and downloading the Verizon fw made it actually want to work. Despite researching extensively, I wasn't able to find the answer to this until I had tried it for myself.

Good luck!

I suggest using Frija tool for downloading the firmware. I have a paid account for Sammobile for fast downloads and it still takes 5hrs. Frija takes minutes.
