Samsung Enterprise Firmware Over the Air (EFOTA) allows you to manage and restrict firmware updates on Samsung devices running Android 7.0 Nougat and higher. Use this page to enter your EFOTA settings provided by your licensed reseller. After saving these settings, use the Android restrictions profile to push lock down devices to their current firmware version, and view and manage available updates from the Updates page in the Workspace ONE UEM console.

What can you do with Samsung Enterprise FOTA Settings page

To access the Service Application settings navigate to: Groups & Settings > All Settings > Devices & Users > Android > Samsung E-FOTA.

  • Manage and restrict firmware updates on Samsung devices running Android 7.0 Nougat and higher
  • Publish firmware updates

Determine your Organization group hierarchy

Before you review and modify the settings, understand the two types of inheritance/override options for the organization group hierarchy available at the top and bottom of the settings page and determine your choice. For more information about these settings, see Override Versus Inherit Setting for Organization Groups.
  • Current Setting – Select whether to Inherit or Override the displayed settings. Inherit means use the settings of the current organization group's parent OG, while Override enables the settings for editing so you can modify the current OG's settings directly.
  • Child Permission – Select the available behavior of child organization groups that exist below the currently selected organization group. Inherit only means child OGs are only allowed to inherit these settings. Override only means they override the settings, and Inherit or Override means you can choose to inherit or override settings in child OGs that exist below the currently selected OG.
Note: Samsung EFOTA can only be configured at customer level Organization Group so all devices registered under that Organization Group receive updates. Consider creating a separate Organization Group for testing before pushing to all devices.
