Hi,
I have a S9 bought in UAE, and I'm using it in UK. Originally it got the UAE Samsung apps (members, etc.) but after last factory reset and using the UK sim card, now I get the UK Samsung apps.
Never flashed any firmware and all the update have been done by the official OTA's. Which OTA update I'm I getting the XEU or XSG? How I can I know this? Thanks

does it matter a ton? The phone has a multi csc in its firmware which is what allowed it to flop over to your new carriers settings without you doing anything. It will download the update for the carrier your sim card dictates, which is likely nearly identical to the one that you would have got had you not put a sim in it in the first place

Hi first post, please be gentle
I've got an s9 which is on EE UK, I flashed the phone with stock firmware, I did run into a couple of issues where when flashing the phone it got stuck on odm.img so I had to start again but using CSC and not home CSC so I lost everything
When the phone rebooted, it started up in German, so as I had my sim card in, it restarted in English
I'm using the following
G960FXXU2CSA2/G960FOXM2CSA2/G960FXXS2BRK3
Service provider SW SAOMC_SM-G960F_OXM_DBT_PP_0009
DBT/XEU/EVR
When I check for updates I get the following
Your current software version isn't supported. Visit a service centre
Can anyone help on how to put this right, I want to stay on stock firmware, not EE firmware
Thanks in advance
Good morning, I have a problem with my S9 model G9600 which came from the factory with the firmware of Hong Kong, however I tried to change the firmware for the one in Colombia because some voice services of the operators only work with the software of the country. But when trying to flash the part of CSC I mark the error and obviously the installation fails as in a kind of A brick because the logo of Galaxy S9 does not pass and is only solved by reinstalling the firmware with which it came from the factory; I have already made sure that the binary is the same, however I can not find a solution. I attach photos of the error.

are you having an identical issue? i ask that because resolutions are very specific. Flashing firmware from www.sammobile.com/firmwares is very commonly the fix for a great many issues, but id hate to have you go thru the trouble of doing so if its not necessary
I tried flashing using odin but didnt work. btw, im using SM-965U and currently residing in Thailand. I dont know if this is the reason why I cant update at all.
S9 message
I am in the U.S. and am getting the message that software isn't supported also. Is there any resolution to this problem?
In case it helps, I was having this same issue with my unlocked Galaxy Note 10+. I found this thread after searching. I had gotten into this situation by flashing CP/AP/BL from TMO firmware without also flashing TMO's CSC or USERDATA. I avoided CSC/USERDATA (I was using the home CSC) because I wanted to avoid wiping the phone.
When I finally gave up and flashed CSC and USERDATA, everything was back to normal.

what is the issue after you flash in Odin?
I bought a A50 from ebay it was a SM-A505F/DS unlocked etc its a 4GB 128GB model
now i downloaded the xeu firmware for the UK and flashed via oden and everything flashed and it worked but when I try to check for updates it says processing failed when checking for updates
IT DOES NOT EVEN REGISTER TO THE UPDATE SERVER.
I TRIED WITH THE VODAFONE UK FIRMWARE O2 FIRMWARE BTU FIRMWARE AND XEU FIRMWARE ALL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE
this phone is an XSG model the firmware i used was from the SM-A505FN phone
why does everything work but updates anyone know how to resolve this.
Well if it does not work then you should keep your eye on the samsung's official galaxy a50 development page, and if update is available download the firmware and flash it with odin... Dont worry none of your data will be gone.. and btw if your bootloader is unlocked you wont get updates..

How do you expect it to work by flashing the wrong firmware? You’re flashing a NFC model firmware on a Non-NFC model. Download the desired region firmware for A505F, Remove your sim and flash the firm via Odin.
Got notification this morning for a 217mb update ending in ASGF. Pretty weird since we just got the July patch only two weeks ago, after not getting an update in over two months. Definitely not complaining though! Sorry if repost
I don't see that update on my G975U1
I got it too. August US unlocked
Just got the update!
is available via samfirm
Unfortunately i just switched over to carrier firmware for faster updates. Now Samsung finally does it right. At least carriers should be releasing it in a week or two.
Sent from my SM-G975U using XDA Labs
Whats new in this August update?

No idea. There are no details listed on the Samsung website or in the notification popup. I mean the security patch has been brought up to date (August) but other than that, I can't say.
Got the notification today.... Hopefully someone can breakdown what is in the update because 200+mb is rather hefty right?
what sim are you guys using to get this ota update?

U1 updates are released by Samsung. One gets a U1 update as long as one has a existing U1 firmware irrespective of the SIM.

I believe you have been misinformed. Please be patient and wait for the update to show up on your phone if you are already on U1 firmware or download the latest U1 firmware using Frija and Odin flash. All the very best.
Update is due to a exploit in the chip. Some one can take control of our phones if we are on the same wifi. Kudos for the fast update.
I updated and now I don't get icons on my lock screen for notifications. Anybody else have the same problem?
975u1 August Firmware Patch T mobile
Hello,
I have a US unlocked 975u1 and use Tmobile. No one seems to know what I am talking about with an Aug Update. I have spent time on the Phone with Samsung and Tmob customer service. Stuck on July patch ASCB. Night mode is still disabled. Samsung Switch has nothing on it as of this morning.
How do I get the firmware everyone else is on? If I get a sim card from another carrier, does that sim need to be activated in order to get the latest patch? I am clueless here.

U1 firmware with the August security patch and Night mode is available and does end in ASGF.
Unless you flashed T-Mobile firmware on your U1 model or you purchased an unlocked U1 with T-Mobile firmware already installed (I'm not sure how to check that in the settings but U1 firmware doesn't come with any T-Mobile branded apps) you should be receiving OTA updates from Samsung rather than T-Mobile.
The U1 OTA update was pushed weeks ago making it the only OTA update we received before the carriers.
If you have T-Mobile firmware you could flash the U1 firmware manually and receive OTA updates from Samsung but you will lose T-Mobile branded apps that aren't available in the Play Store. The U1 firmware has also been receiving updates long after the carriers prior to August--in early July we were still on the May security patch.
If you manually flash VZW or SPR firmware as the other member suggested don't flash the User Data partition or you will also get Verizon or Sprint's apps and bloatware. If you do manually flash either of those you will no longer receive OTA updates and will need to keep manually flashing updates in the future.
So I bought my phone directly from Samsung. USA version with snapdragon processor and its non-branded to any carrier, basically an unlocked Galaxy S10+. Its model number is sm-g975u1. Sim card is from Tmobile, my cell phone carrier.. I have software from July 1st, g975u1ueu2ASGB
What do you recommend in my scenario.
Thank you

I would look for the ASGF U1 firmware for U1 with Frija or SamFirm. I'm not sure why you didn't get the OTA.
Can anyone assist in helping me download latest att firmware for S20 ultra? I believe it is G988USQU1ATCT. Back story: I flashed an unlocked Verizon version with the G988USQU1ATAW att firmware and have been unable to get it to update. Currently using the device with First Net. I know att firmware isn't available with frija. Any help would be appreciated.
sammobile
Update: I was able to enable OTA update by first doing a factory reset but most importantly, inserting my wifes ATT sim card. Once inside, I checked software updates, and got 2 updates back to back.

was going to say all the carrier models use same firmware
So did the att sim work with the unlocked verizon firmware and you have the sm-g988u1 phone, just asking im trying to get Android 11 with one ui 3.0
Hello everyone.
I just bought what I thought it was an unlocked S20 Ultra over the internet and, nevertheless my sim card form my country works well (Im from México) the OTA updates dont work.
The last security update it has is from March 2020 and I have checked the system update option but it says that my phone is up to date.
I have seen that maybe that the most recent update can be forced using Odin but I dont know what firmware to download for my model so it can be updated regularly via OTA as I only have found firmware options for another USA Carriers that I dont have, and Im scared to brick it for choosing the wrong one.
Curiously enough, the phone model and IMEI correspond to the AT&T USA variation, however, the start up screen doesnt show up any AT&T logo and the phone doesnt have any bloatware from any carrier. So Im not sure if the phone was already flashed with some fw?
The model that it displays is SM-G988U and the S/W is G988USQU1ATBN'
Hope you can help me to have updates on my phone.
Thanks!

Your device is a US Branded Variant, most likely Verizon/ATT. Go to Settings, About Phone, Software Information, Service Provider Software Version. On the bottom row the last three letters will verify which carrier is branded. If it is in fact AT&T you can download the appropriate fw here. Be sure to select the appropriate carrier in the drop down menu but be aware AT&T typically doesn't offer it's firmware to be accessed online.

Thank you. I just checked and the last three letters are indeed ATT. That means that most likely I cant have fw updates or OTA updates as they dont offer their fw online? Searched on the website yu gave me but there is no ATT carrier option

You're most welcome. Verizon is in the drop down menu and since they've merged with AT&T it should be the appropriate FW but it doesn't load after selecting it which reflects AT&T's ongoing efforts to block updates outside of it's proprietary platform. If you're unable to access AT&T's network inside the US the other options are downloading the FW on Samsung's Smartswitch app or acquiring it on ATT/Verizon website. Good luck!
