I flashed an unbranded UK April S7 firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/, and since haven't received the june update that released about a month ago, any help?
Also is it normal to have apps like samsung pay in the uk firmware?
Have you installed also the csc file? I had that problem of not receiving OTA and it was because i did not put the four files in ODIN.
ps: i used the CSC and not the home_csc version
ps 2: I flashed the Australian version

Hmm seems unusual, I suggest you go to the Sony Mobile forums and ask there. :silly:

I'm currently on US Cellular, my last update was the day after I received the phone on the 10th. When was your last firmware update?

AFAIK, the last update has a build date of March 28th (at least for the 920F) and everyone who got their phone received this one pretty much straight away.

More details
There was a BTU (sim free version) update a couple days ago for the G920F
Doesn't seem to be on sammobile though
Hi,
I am getting somewhat unhappy with the lack of official updates for my unlocked SM-G920F (DBT) S6, which I bought from Amazon Germany. Looks like the UK variants have a much more recent BTU firmware dated January 2016, while mine is stuck with October 2015 update.
PhoneInfo shows the following:
Product code: SM-G920FZKADBT
Original CSC: DBT
Firmware's CSC: DBT
Active CSC: DBT
Bootloader: G920FXXU3COI9
PDA: G920FXXU3COI9
CSC: G920FDBT3COI6
Baseband: G920FXXU3COI9
Would it be possible for me to flash the latest official BTU firmware without tripping Knox?
Many thanks for your comments!
Yes.

Many thanks for your response! This is a good news
Do I need to change CSC somehow, or would it be sufficient to just flash the latest BTU firmware with Odin?

Switching is not going to help you as the BTU version is just as old as the DBT version. COI9 is the latest release for both countries.
You will have no benefit by switching to BTU.
It seems that since October, Samsung has only updated the carrier versions of their builds and not the Open/carrier independent versions.
There is one notable exception, which is the NEE version for Denmark/Sweden. This at least has the security updates dated Dec. 1 and is, aside from Marshmallow, the best you can do for the SM-G920F.
What I did was just flash NEE on top of the existing firmware (in my case BTU). That provides a mixed CSC version for the time being but can be healed by flashing BTU again, when Samsung finally comes out with a new firmware.
What I would recommend for you to do is to complain with Samsung. I have emailed them and made it clear that they promised monthly security updates in August 2015. Their promise is what prompted me to purchase the Samsung S6 in September. After the purchase, they delivered exactly one monthly update for it, then 4 months of delivering nothing.
They have not kept their promise and I suggest you (and everyone else who is upset by this) let them know. In my case I have also asked them for a return of the phone.
This is also something I will now attempt to initiate through my dealer.

You are right, the latest BTU is the same G920FXXU3COI9 :|
I already complained to Samsung twice, the last time was yesterday, but they were not forthcoming. I also bought the device hoping for the monthly updates, but didn't get any since October 2015.
And it's only going to get worst for updates as they be very few & far between for the S6 this year once the S7 is launched.
Yeah, this is kinda sad.

Quite honestly the S6 is the best phone I've ever used and I would love to keep it. But the update policy, especially considering the promise Samsung made, is not acceptable. I'll keep you updated on my attempts at returning it.

Thanks! I thought about returning mine, but won't even try: it's easily one of the best phones for the money, the only alternative for me would be an iPhone 6/6s, and I'm not prepared to go that route
hey, of course you can flash btu firmware on german handset. that's what i always do after buying samsung's phone. it's the cleanest one with no bloat.

I just received a response from Samsung basically telling me to f*ck off and contact a local repair shop. Sent them the following:
Hi,
Many thanks for your response! Unfortunately, my location (Cyprus) is not on the list. Moreover, I own a factory unlocked and carrier-independent EU version sourced from Germany (DBT), which does not depend on the local carriers.
As far as I can see, the latest update for Galaxy S6 (DBT), as well as for the UK unlocked and unbranded version of Galaxy S6 (BTU), is G920FXXU3COI9, dated October and September 2015 respectively - I checked Sammobile, XDA forums and other Internet resources to verify this. My understanding is that no further updates have been released to the aforementioned unlocked and unbranded EU versions, either DBT or BTU, thus my question is: where are the November 2015, December 2015 and January 2016 security updates promised by Samsung and "released" on paper?
I bought the device based on the promise that it would get frequent security updates, only to face another letdown by Samsung. I would appreciate an explanation and an estimate of when the above updates will become available to my device.
Thanks!

Let's see how it goes.
Nothing in the UK for unlocked S7/S7E, I believe the US/Canada/Australia the same. Now the carriers have pushed it out just not Samsung themselves for unlocked devices.

Nothing in the UK,
In fact looking at Sammobile they only release every other month if your lucky for unlocked BTU, while Vodafone UK has firmware out every month.

A lot less regularly than I was expecting, got mine in July and 2 updates since then, thought it would be a delay of about a month with network provider updates but they've came to a standstill. The security patch level is 1st August.

Yes not very impressive from Samsung.
Yeah, I'm on BTU too and they don't update it often.
It should be monthly like the way Vodafone are doing it.

Exactly, Thats one of the reason people buy a carrier free phone. Folks on android always blame the carriers for the delays in updates but who exactly do you blame here?

Actually no one outside the Germany and Korea has received this update. And as usual there is no official information from Samsung.
Hi to update for the T860 which files do I need to extract and flash with oden

Another update out yesterday for Germany (DBT). Still september patch though... Installing now =)
Im guessing that if this latest update is bugfree, they will release it to the rest of the world also.

According to Samsung its not released in UK as its carrier dependent even if you purchased it through Samsung directly.
I have told them I'm not happy after being told will get regular updates and these are supposed to be every quarter at most.
Absolutely disgusting that purchasers are being treated like this still.
It doesn't support Volte, does it?
