S20 ultra 5g OTA no update - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

I just bought a used s20 utra 5g
As far as I can tell it seems genuine. Its fast and 120hz works.
CSC is EUY
SM-G988B/DS
Says firmware official and SDK Level 29
However
It says android 10 and patch Level Feb 2020 In the software info.
When I go to software update it finds no updates.
Should this have android 11 or at least a newer patch level.
Any suggestions/ ideas

Go here and find your appropriate carrier to update gradually to android 11

Try flashing over to the 960U builds. Newer firmware and may security bulletin.
FYI you'll be stuck until U1 firmware starts rolling out with V2 bootloader.

Not updating

My phone is on the June patch. According to the Firmware finder there have been updates to 366 and to 367. Why am I no longer getting monthly patches (C432)?
My Honor (C432) also remained at the 366 version. Yet on the internet there are updates. I wonder why. I hope we'll have at least Android Pie 9 in the near future.
GPU Turbo
Anyone installed GPU turbo update yet?It is now available on firmware finder for C636 and C10

After 3 months of not receiving any updates, I finally received version 372 yesterday (September patch)
Last night finally via HiSuite, received the update B372. But it's strange that there is nothing written in the changes register, even knowing that there are security patches updated to September 1.
I received the B372 update via "Download the new full package", because the automatic updater or OTA didn't work at all and it was a good thing to update from the horrible buggy B366 to the full B372 version !
Now, my phone is not laggy, has good performance, and battery life is way better like before ! Can't wait now for the new GPU CPU Turbo update which should be coming around november !

HI.Have you received the update for S20U 3.1?

我的设备是SM-G988U。我没有收到来自OneUI 3.1的更新。我朋友的G988N已收到OneUI 3.1的更新
Translation: My device is SM-G988U. I did not receive the update from OneUI 3.1. My friend's G988N has received the update of OneUI 3.1
thank you
I have an ATT G988U 1CTLB now, and I see G988U 1DUB5 out there... will flashing to that give me 3.1?
I have an unlocked/unbranded S20 5G G981U1 bought from Google Fi, it's OYM, XAA, got all the updates installed the normal way through the phone. I just installed Smart Switch on my PC and connected it to the phone and it detected an update. It shows my phone currently has PDA: UA2, CSC: UA2, PHONE: UA2 (XAA), and it says latest software version is UB7 for all 3 of those, 5,682 MB update. It's downloading now, hopefully this is One UI 3.1!
It gave this website but maybe it's not updated yet with the changelog: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s20/firmware/SM-G981U1/SPR/download/G981U1UES1CTL5/1108696/
EDIT: WOOOOO it updated to One UI 3.1, has March 1, 2021 security update too!!!!

C636E5R2P3 version stuck at 10.0.0.196 (EMUI 10.0.0) Security Patch June 2020

I can't get my Mate 20X to upgrade to EMUI 11 - I tried downloading:
Build: EVR-LGRP2-OVS 11.0.0.155 - update with full base
from this site: http://huawei-update.com/device-list/evr-l29
I tried all three variants of this build since they weren't labelled for which variant of the phone (mine's the C636 variant). When I tried to apply the update via the memory card all three times I got "No file found" even though UPDATE.APP file was in the root of the memory card where it should be.
I also installed a VPN, set region to UK in the Huawei Support app and in the VPN software and then tried the update OTA and nothing. Set region to China for both and still nothing.
Of course, the reason I'm doing this is to get EMUI 11 with the July 2021 security patches. My build is over a year out of date. I'd even consider going from EMUI 11 to Harmony OS but again I can't get off the July 2020 build currently installed.
I've tried going with other, newer Android phones, many of them the very best available. I've gone through:
- Samsung Galaxy Note 20
- Samsung Galaxy Ultra S21
- Oppo Find X3 Pro
- Xiaomi Black Shark 3 Pro
- Lenovo Legend
- LG V60 dual-screen
Despite liking some of these NONE of them give you the screen real estate that the Mate 20X does so I wind up dusting it off, updating all the apps and using it once again!
Can someone please help me figure out how to update the software on this beast??
Thanks, in advance for any and all comments!!
I am stuck with the issue. I am trying Ministry of Solutions, guy to help me out. He changed my Chinese one to global one.

Black Shark 3 does have the same screen real estate, with higher resolution and the 90 Hertz refresh rate, but it's SO HEAVY.
EMUI 11:
I also have the mate 20x and I've tried everything to update this. I changed the regions and I used the VPN and I tried rolling back to Android 9 via hi suite..... nothing. Someone recommended I spend 15 bucks on a Chinese SIM card from Amazon and that's exactly what I intend to do tomorrow.
Please let me know if you're able to update your phone! I just replaced the battery with a brand new one and spent way too much money on the Huawei branded storage media... I tried a bunch of different phones but I really want to keep this one!
I find it amazing but even phones with side-mounted fingerprint readers don't allow you to do the swipe option for notifications the way Huawei lets you do it. I like my infrared blaster, too. Sigh.

Question Android 12 updates / security

Hey all. Not sure how many people are using this phone regularly, but I'm curious what all of your experiences have been like with this phone. When's the last time you got a security update? Are you still running Android 11? I'm still on 11, no update ever arrived to me for 12, and I'm still on an Android security patch from May 2022. Thoughts?
Codeaurora Releases
New CodeLinaro OSS release detected! Chipset: lito Tag: LA.UM.9.12.c10-44100-SAIPAN.QSSI13.0 Manifests: Vendor Android: 11.00.00 Date: October 13, 2022

Yes same here. I believe TCL ROM to be based on CAF. I have not seen A12 for our board Lito. This one posted is the latest one I could find.
Same. No Android 12 (still on 11) and last security patch was from April for me.
I've been frustrated with my Android 11 experience on my T810S here in the USA and notifications that don't notify.... Anyways, I reached out to TCL with all of my info, asking about the promised Android 12 update. After asking me for yet more information I finally got a reply from them which said:
Your model is expected to receive Android 12 by June 2023 (it could be before, or later than that date) We appreciate your time and understanding, let us know if you have any other question.
So, I'm holding out hope that I finally will get the promised Android 12 update in the next few months.
In case people don't see the separate thread that I started on this subject, TCL rolled out the non-beta version of Android 12 to my T810S this past weekend. I received notification on Friday evening, and after cleaning up my phone, I installed it on Sunday.
So far, so good! Most importantly to me, notifications seem to finally be working on my phone for all applications. The UI changes for Android 12 are nice too.
So I just got my TCL 20 Pro 5G & I'm just wondering is there an Android 12 update for my device? When I go to update, it says it's up to date & still on Android 11.

I think that it might depend on your location and the model number of your TCL 20 Pro 5G. As I mentioned above, my T810S (TCL 20 Pro 5G) here in the USA finally received the Android 12 update last week.

Just checked & my model number is T810S. So maybe it's the fact that I live in Canada?
