Hi, I have a very irritating and probably unique problem with my Samsung Galaxy A54 and I would really appreciate your help. It's still on the first ever version of system made for it, but if I try to search for a software update, it doesn't find any, despite the fact that for this phone are released around 4 updates if I remember correctly. Even in Security and privacy in settings I get a suggestion to update my phone. I tried many things:
And no result. I didn't try to flash the stock rom using Odin or Heimdall, because I don't want to risk bricking my phone or lose the warranty, so this method is out of discussion. Does anyone have this problem (not necessary with my phone model, it can be any Samsung phone that was not released too long ago)? Do you have any other ideas on how to solve this problem?

System update
Solved! Go to Solution.

Yes, seems in Germany they only have main center in largest cities, e.g. Koeln, Frankfurt and Berlin. Maybe they have contracts with providers in other cities. I need to check with support next week. Sending in the phone is not really an option.

Finally, a possible SOLUTION is here (at least that worked on mine).
Download Smart Switch BOTH for your PC and you phone, connect them.
Follow update instructions: It'll download a huge new update file about 6 GB and update your mobile. More importantly the the baseband and build numbers all changed.
Have success and a great day!

Thank you Rxb for info & description! The update worked also for my A54. Will see if upcoming updates now installed automatically.

Update: This method is only a partial solution: the phone does not find updates by itself, you have to go through the above process if you want to update.
What an absurd thing: How could a big name like Samsung come out with such an undeveloped device like this. And now there is UI6, with many annoying "improvements"...

Hi there,
Did you find any solution that worked for searching updates without needing SmartSwitch? I'm also experiencing this problem, and it's unfortunate that I have to guess when an update is available.
