software update is temporarily unavailable

[semito21]

Well, i just bought the new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus From verizon because it's "unlocked" for any carrier. But when trying to see if there's any update it shows "Software update is temporarily unavailable. Try Again Later", does it matters if im not using verizon Sim card? thanks.

I believe you do need a Verizon sim card to access the Verizon software update platform. I know that when I de-activate a phone I get that message until I activate it again.

Try Using Samsung's Smart Switch software for updating.

Yu da man!

I had similar prob when I wanted to unroot my S4 "reformat" and after successful I couldn't update via OTA.... so I did it the hard way with Odin and then was happy, stuck my phone in a drawer for almost a year and decided to put it to service...... same problem again!...

After reading this thread, I realized since a new update was not available I'm getting the error whereas I didn't get it before....
I simply took my existing sim card in my activated Note 4 and put it in the S4 and wallah!... it worked! OTA!

My Verizon account didn't change anything because I didn't actually activate, just only switched sims "so no activation charges".... after OTA done, simply switched it back to my Note4 and now I have a fully updated S4 I can give away!..

Thx!
