Hub V3 not updating firmware (stuck on version 000.052.00021)

I have SmartThing hub v3 Firmware version 000.052.00021 Why my hub dint get the new update of April 2026

one thought…

If you purchased a used hub or the hub has been off-line since March 2025, then it could be the expired security certificate causing the issue. You can follow the guide in the following thread: Troubleshooting SmartThings Hub 2018 and Aeotec Hub

but only ST staff can help you confirm if that is actually the issue for you

It’s always a concern when a hub is on 52.21 as that seems to be as far as the Samsung SmartThings Wifi/Hub has got to and you see an awful lot of those listed on eBay incorrectly as V3 hubs, and even worse quite a lot of those were from a Vodafone tie in.

As @jkp as mentioned there has been an issue with an expired security certificate with the V3 hubs which can affect old stocks of ‘new’ hubs or second hand hubs that have gone unused for a long period.

@Itati should be able to see what is going on in your case.

depending on your Router: go to the Troubleshooting page and search if someone may have already posted in regards to the Router and what worked for them
