How to get update links - SOLVED

[norbarb]

Hey guys. I jump in wagon of S8+ and now trying to find software update links. If anybody did not update yet i need lite help since i did not pay attention and update mine. Here are instruction hot to get download links : https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-att/general/how-to-download-links-t3450822

If someone would try to get me link as is showing for note4 but for S8E+ this will be great. This will help me to download DESC file and then i will get it download link for S8E+.
Thank You all.

Instructions:
To get the ota files, The first boot after you take an OTA update, dial *#8736364#. This brings up the firmware update menu. Click on 'Result'. There, you will see a screen that looks like the one attached from Note 4. I need screen shoot or link from this screen to get download links.

Very true, I'm sure Ill mess something up through adb and I'll probably have to odin back to stock, if I do I will odin back to the oldest firmware version so we get prompted for a OTA. :good:

I know. Phone restart twice as i notice. Just when you got to Samsung screen buzz and restart. I think this prevents from getting links for desc.bin to get download.what we need. I hope next time will just start.

I'm in the same boat as OP; I've changed my date forward 24h about 50 times and it still won't find the update.. My devices are always super late to get updates and the whole staged release thing really sucks. Kinda sad that we have to deal with this after all these years tbh :/

EDIT: Changed the date all the way to August; at that point it would auto revert to today. Put in my other AT&T SIM, moved it ahead to May 15, and now it's downloading. I guess if all else fails, try a different SIM!

Managed to grab this after the struggle of getting the OTA update. This is for the G955USQU1AQDE OTA update. Enjoy!
