No update for SM-G960 - XAA ; is it safe to flash SM-960U1 - XAA - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

I recently bought SM-G960UZKAXAA, a SM-G960U with XAA csc. It came with a firmware version G960USQS8ETH5 / G960UOYN8ETH5 / G960USQS8ETH5 - Safety patch Sept1 2020 - When I check (Feb 22, 2021) if there is a software update, it says that I have the last version.
I wanted to check the versions on https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G960U, but I didn't find a G960U firmware for XAA csc, but I found one for G960U1 XAA
So my questions : Is there a place where I could find a SM-960U XAA version. , what is the difference between G960U and G960U1, is it safe to flash a SM-G960U1- XAA over the SM-G960U?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
PS I use the phone in France. Could it explain that I don't receive OTAs?

G960U looks to be a North American varient:
Download Samsung Galaxy S9 SM-G960F firmware
Download the latest Samsung firmware for Galaxy S9 with model code SM-G960F. Check out our free download or super fast premium options.
www.sammobile.com
So you wont find European specific fw for it.

For Brazilian owners of Galaxy S9/S9+.
The Brazilian variants are SM-G9600 (S9) and SM-G9650 (S9+), same as the Chinese version, using Snapdragon 845 and 128GB of internal storage. The Brazilian firmware country code is ZTO, if you search the firmware using SamFirm it will point you to ZHU firmwares (it is considered a Hong Kong/China firmware but this is a generic firmware).

You mean, flashing a G9600 ROM in your G960U device?
I'm not sure if that will work.

I saw the 9600 rom is a 128gb and dual sim version, but the 960F is 64gb and single sim as the 960U is.
Do you think the 960F ZTO will work in the 960U?
thanks

I don't have experience with flashing Roms from different variants in Samsung devices.
I recommend searching this information with users who are experienced at flashing with Samsung devices before doing any action.

S9 no brand, can't update to android pie

Hi guys! Proud possessor of a galaxy s9 dual sim no brand.
When I check for updates via OTA or smart switch there is no update available. But android pie is out!
What could be the reason for this fact? Any advice?

Bro the update is out in some regions only... I'm stuck on november security patch and still no december update for my region... You should wait
If you cannot wait, flash the Pie firmware manually
I'm tempted! Thanks for the replies guys!

I would give it to the end of the month and see if the official update rolls down. I think the beta has run its course and the final is dropping in some countries already. You may or may not get it quickly as Samsung seems to be all over the place on how it updates its phones.

SM-G906F/DS CSC question

I have a S9 SM-G960F/DS that has baseband version G960FXXU1BRF5 and service provider SAOMC_SM-G960F_OXM_XSG_OO_0022 XSG/XSG,XSG/XSG
I am in Canada and would like to update it and download Android 9 firmware for it but am not sure what CSC to pick for it or what firmware is best to use in Canada.
I am on Rogers so the CSC is RWC

Question At&t z fold 4 SM-F936U or SM-F936U1

Hello all now I'm just confused so my zFold4 says it's the SM-F936U and I did the updates sense i figured if the US varients are not rootable as of now im just going to update it to the 13 update and after it up dated twice last night and it wasn't on 13 and says it's up to date and sammobile doesn't show the at&t firmware under the 936U but it does as the 936U1, so for others who have the SMT936U1 verify theirs shows 936U or does it actually show 936U1 and I do apologize if this has already be gone over I just haven't seen anyone else talk about, with that said should I just do the csc to the 936u1??
Thank you in advance
Update: so it appears SamMobiles latest smf936u1 firmware is F936U1UES1AVJ1 and my device still shows I'm on the current update F936USQSAVII so I guess my device is just SMF936U, as well with that said do any of you with either of these models do your devices show oem unlock??
Update2: so did some research on the csc codes of the firmware I should be using AT&T csc but the firmware that has a csc of tmk at least from the site with all csc codes with that said my smf936u is running MetroPCS CSC firmware , and then of you look up smf936u1 firmware on sammobile it has all sorts of different csc varients!! So it's even more confusing!!

So does this mean the at&t varient really just a unlocked version?
Or is the other one on sammobile just a beta firmwares?
With that said I'm pretty all varients are rootable the only thing stopping it is hidden OEM unlock!!
