How to FORCE UPDATE your outdated Samsung Galaxy device - Smart Switch for PC

Hey-hey. Is your phone not updating, when a newer one is already available? This may happen when your device won't connect to the update server (such as using a Snapdragon device outside its region). Thus, today I'll show you how to force update your Samsung Galaxy device via Samsung Smart Switch for PC.
Smart Switch for PC is a tool developed by Samsung, which can:
-update your device,

Wow! Thank you! I bought a tablet in 2014 and thought I lost a week later it in an internet cafe (I was heartbroken for months). Well... found it a few days ago in 2023 in my old room at my parent's house. It is brand new but it was probably running on Kitkat. Your guide worked perfectly! Thanks again!

Was extremely helpful! Thank you! I appreciate the chapters as well! 🧑🏼‍🍳👌🏼 I didn't realize my phone hasn't updated for a year now! 😳🙃

Thanks it worked from updating my S10 plus to that horrible laggy Ui 3.0 to the Ui 3.1 which is a lot smoother now. I could not bare another month of that crappy 3.0. I wanted the 3.1 asap to see if the lag and bugs were fixed and yes it is. Only thing I hate is I still can't hide my pill shape front camera.

Thank You. Your instructions worked perfectly updating my S20 FE to Android 13. Please keep doing this, you are great at this. Very entertaining too.

Still very relevant in 2023. Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite never updated since purchase in 2022. This solved the issue. Many thanks for sharing! You made me laugh out loud when you mentioned selling your soul while agreeing to the terms.

Wow it works after hours of searching i finally found this video very helpful still in 2024 🔥 had to sell my t-shirt and socks to samsung before being able to update and agreed community service very good 👍

Thank you for making this video, I applied an update could be abit later than it was released... I made mistake of doing it away from my WiFi and maybe not enough battery but I was getting error message after message and no more network only WiFi internet access and SIM card errors, tried slot of the help pages with clearing caches and memory from apps including software apps, didn't help at all, this video is the one that did fix it for me with bonus of backing up my phone, thanks so much ♥️♥️♥️

[yourmamandi]

Unfortunately the update option was not avail to me, Ive been stuck on 11 for so long and it displays last update in june 2021 because it was from AT & T

Thanks for yet another extremely helpful video!
I'd like to share my One UI 6.0 update experience on the S23 Ultra. It might help others in troubleshooting why their Android 14 update is missing.
Before the update was released, I kept changing CSCs (Country Specific Codes) in order to make my phone detect 6GHz WiFi networks. Suffice to say, it didn't work and I just gave up leaving the phone with the EUX (Europe) code set. The phone originally came with the XME (Malaysia) code set. Months went by but there was no Android 14 update available. As soon as I set the CSC back to the XME code, the update came through.

2023 Update it worked! For Samsung C7 android 6.1

I followed all the steps but It didn't immediately update I had to go to settings and manually activate the update although it only received update till Android 8.1 is there any way I can update to latest Android or atleast Android 10?
