No way to update phone.

[Adamfoxhound]

So when i first got my phone, I wanted to stop auto updates, and basically found a .bat file that would remove that from my phone. now, years later i would like to update my phone but dont know where to start to get that option back. When i click system updates in settings it does nothing.

anyone know of a fix to reinstall the update function back to the phone?

verizon carrier btw.

EDIT-

So I looked up the .bat file I used. it was the Samsung_Security+OTA_Disabler_(BillA_v2018-01-01), inside the bat

Have you tried flashing the stock firmware with Odin on PC?

If not just download the firmware you are on or the latest firmware using samfirm.exe or frija on pc and use Odin to flash phone. (Read up on the firmwares if you want root or not, read safestrap and Extreme Syndicate root threads before flashing firmware. )

You should have access to Download mode or use samsung smart switch.

@Adamfoxhound

It seems this is what you need to enable "adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.android.fwupgrade"

In the thread below, nearer the bottom, it tells you how to enable disabled packages. As this ADB method does not actually uninstall the app, you should be able to re-enable it.
