Hi,

I've got an AT&T branded Note 9 and I'm stuck on the August security patch. Build number ending in ARH4.

I've rebooted, checked for updates OTA and using Smart Switch. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
-Brett.

Seriously speaking what is the problem with ATT and updates?

I was never able to update my Note 9 either. It was always stuck on July and always said no updates available. I had to manually install the update from November.

I don't see these problems with any other carrier. I'm in South Florida if that makes any type or difference. My phone was purchased directly from ATT.

I think there was a bug in one of the earlier builds didn't allow to update but if I remember correctly the people that manual updated to November were able to update to December normally .

Last night I finally got this sorted by manually updating using Odin. Details on what I used are HERE. Hopefully I'm able to get OTA updates going forward.

I'd have done full factory reset / cleared cache / safe boot.

Mine is also bought from AT&T and on Dec. Now waiting for Pie which includes Jan security updates.

another thing I like to point out
Samsung switch on your computer make sure in settings then preference software update is checked that way when a update for your phone is available it has it downloaded and alert you
