Thanks for the replay so if i am outside the US i can't update the device and there's no other way?!

There is no other way. Your device is running an operating system customized for AT&T; therefore, it cannot be updated with another carrier's software, only AT&T updates will work. The only way your phone can receive an update from AT&T is over the air from the AT&T network. In order to connect to the AT&T network, the phone must physically be in the United States and be using an AT&T sim card.

Carrier branded devices must be using that carriers SIM card and using that network.

We don't advise non US customers buy ATT devices for use outside the country.
