Hi. 

Here is my current version. Security patch 1/1/24 

Is version 6.1.1 current? Will I have to force the update or will it happen..... Any way to know how long it will be until my phone realize it should update?

Current version is 6.1.1 with November Security Patch.

 

If you have a computer, try Smart Switch. It doesn't work all the time. But hopefully you'll get the software update prompt.

Thanks. I installed the smart switch. It thinks the software is up to date. I am backing up my data because I can.

I have Odin v3. 10.6 on my computer. I will look at finding the November version for the Z fold 5.

@user28wTnKaKPj You have a carrier device. It looks like it has Tmobile firmware installed. If you aren't using Tmobile, your device won't find an update. 

The solution is to flash the device with your carrier's firmware.

And that is correct. Just finished flashing the Verizon version. All is good now 😊
