Hi Guys.
I've got a sim-free Note3 and I'm using an O2 sim. Yesterday the Lollipop v5.0 was pushed to my device.
Does anyone know if that means that I'll get a further update to 5.01, 5.02, 5.x sometime soon?
Thanks.
Steve
What is your csc?

If its an O2 phone you get the O2 update .
Sim is nothing to do with updates .
O2 Android 5 has been available for weeks .
Thanks guys. I've no idea what 'csc' is?
It's not an O2 phone, it's sim-free, I just happen to use an O2 sim with it - does that make a difference?
It might have been available for weeks, but it only got pushed to my phone yesterday.
Thanks
Steve
I highly believe we will get Android M update, officially.
@OP: Just enjoy the 5.0 update. There won't be any 5.0.1 or 5.0.2, at least not very soon. Cause 5.0 has been available for a lot of countries for over two months now, and there is absolutely no scene of 5.0.1 or 2, so better believe that those won't come. I am just happy to see that Samsung finally pushed an update which got rid of that delay while clearing recent apps, however that was just release for one country, but I am sure a wider scale of the same will be released soon.
Thanks guys! That's just what I feared. Just shame that such a great phone lags behind other, older models. My wife's Galaxy S4 is on 5.01!
A phone has a number of codes ( as shown in Kies )
Basically if its a O2 supplied phone it will have an O2 code and O2 are the ones that update the firmware if they want to .
Generic non branded as in UK BTU may or may not be in advance or delayed .
Who gets the upgrade first is very varied and over the years its varied from country to country getting first releases . Usually the non branded gets released well before the branded stuff .
Thanks. I'd read that sim-free unbranded phones were always LAST to get updates. It's confusing!
I have a greymarket import S7 Duos with the CSC OJV (which is either middle east or africa depending on the source) and it still hasn't received the June firmware update. I'd like to switch my CSC to get timely firmware updates. Does it make any difference which CSC I use? Is there any that would be best based on update timeliness and/or compatibility with US carriers (T-Mobile/AT&T)?
Also, is there any way to download stack firmware images direct from Samsung rather than going through shady third parties?

India is a good option as they get updates very often , compatibility? if your phone is working fine now it should work fine with any of this...
CSC change, you have to do a factory reset
Check this thread , it shows you how to change csc or flash a newer firmware without waiting for the update (odin) BUT you should do it with G930FD firmware there they use G930F firmware , the basics are the same
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3369431
This thread says that the single sim firmware and dual sim firmware are interchangeable. Am I misunderstanding something?
As far as carrier compatibility, the phone works, but I don't have visual voicemail. Also not sure if I'm missing other features like VoLTE.
The Spain firmware has wifi calling and Samsung pay. I don't know if you can make wifi calling work but you can tweak Samsung pay for USA market.

Same here. On the FD version.. My problem is dual SIM not really working. Yes, I have two numbers and. That's about it. Data doea not work. Disabling SIM2 and. SIM1 works LTE on AT&T. No VoLTE obviiusly so I can't comment about it. With an xposed module, my Android pay works. You will most. Likely won't be able to make Samsung Pay work. I did a massive reading and can't tell you one person that was able to set it up and use it in a store . my advice to you is forget about OTA. Don't be scared about the Knox bit, trip it, and install TWRP and a custom ROM. those get normally the latest firmware in them, with recent security patches, and some of them are even OTA by themselves. You can also hey rid of tons of bloatware this way. I wouldn't bother dealing with changing CSC from Egypt to India. Since you are already at XDA I guess you know what to do.

If you boot into download mode, the phone will even display G930F as its model number. You can run F firmware on an FD without issue. As for the dual SIM working, I haven't tested it, but I did read that SIM1 has full connectivity, while SIM2 is limited to 2G/3G. You can't have two 4G SIMcards active at the same time.
I'm running Samsung pay perfectly fine on UAE firmware. Samsung pay is unfortunately firmware dependent. However, if you trip KNOX you're not going to be able to use Samsung Pay ever again. And to be completely honest, if you're not using Samsung pay, you shouldn't be using an S7; get yourself a better phone like the G5/Nexus/V10/Moto X. The S7 lacks a lot that other phones bring to the table, assuming that you don't care much for photo quality.

Would wifi calling work on US T-MOBILE?
Same question here. I'm using Tracfone and T-Mobile sim cards, and my G930FD is from United Arab Emirates. There is a Islamic calendar in the S Planner which I was unable to get rid of, so I found the UK firmware and CSC from Sammobile. After flashing those files to phone, the Wifi calling and Samsung Pay still won't work. Otherwise the UK firmware works fine, since there's no bloatware or funny stuff(like calendar from other country). Dual sim works with no issue too. Still hope to find a better CSC file for Samsung Pay and Wifi Calling.
My G930FD is a Singapore set and Samsung Pay has been available for quite a while now.
I recently flashed the UK BTU firmware, seems to have less bloat but Samsung Pay isn't available, side loading didn't seem to work either.
I flashed the UK firmware hoping to get faster security patches, so far still on July. But not sure if just me, but phone feels a bit snappier and fingerprint sensor seems more accurate on July vs June's.
Where are you all getting the stock firmware for different countries?

When you had the Singapore firmware, did you actually use Samsung Pay successfully? I have a 930FD that is for the UAE, but Samsung Pay wasn't on it and it didn't work when I sideloaded it. I flashed it to the the BTU version and was able to sideload it and log in, but it won't take any of my credit cards here in the USA. Also, the signal strength on AT&T is much weaker than another phone that I have that is made for the American market.
Should I try to find a firmware that is still located in the same region as the UAE with Samsung Pay and without the annoying bloatware the UAE mandates for their phones? Would India be good?

Samsung Pay worked when I was on the SG firmware. It also worked when I flashed the Australia unbranded firmware, even though I was in Singapore. By working I mean I'm able to add cards, make contactless transactions and so on.
So Pay should work on any firmware that it's officially available in, regardless where you use it.
I would try Australia, minimal bloat. F / FD firmwares work interchangeably.
I love Huawei - but I bought a OnePlus 5T and I don't think I'm coming back to Huawei.
It's too long. Like I'm invisible. Couldn't care less now.

Where do you live?
Example: American users, which are living in USA and bought model for USA market (region C567 ) and use american carriers, got and getting OTA. In February USA region received massive update to Oreo.
But... If american user bought phone in China and using it at home, he/she seriously decrease chances to get update.
I also had issues with ota having a c185 in Europe. It was possible to get major updates by using the 'download latest full package' tab in the updated on the phone. Incremental were more difficult so in the end I changed the phones region to c432.

I live in Lebanon and i have the C185 variant. i am still running on B188 nougat. since November 2017. today i will be trying to update via Firmware finder as it appears that the Oreo Update B360 is approved for installation for the MEA Variant C185 and for my IMEI
I suddenly received ALL the updates one by one!
Received this one today.
Rogers and Telus initially scheduled the 8th for FOTA release. Still no sign of update while the rest of the world seemingly is getting rolled out.

Rest of the world and Exynos getting it first then North America after. I'm in the U.S. with unlocked and haven't gotten it yet either. Guess we'll get it when we get it.
This is good, korea update fix gos trash
No update yet on Rogers canada. I think Samsung is holding on to the patch to include GOS fix in it. Its generating bad PR for the company.
Is Samsung doing a late fix on this gaming performance controversy, maybe??
Update is out. Clocks in at over 2GB, includes OneUI 5.1 and February Security update. Just installed, will see how it goes!
Just got it as well.
downloading now
No noticeable difference from the previous UI.
almost the same build number as the TMB one I flashed about a week ago on my U1. The differences are so minimal it should have just been a standard sec update vs an incremental update
Still not showing up on my s22 ultra locked to att network...got it for my unlocked z fold 4 2 days ago though....imma keep checking but idk of i will get it on this device because the line is not active. Will I still get update? And if not can I use smart switch on windows to update?
So far not much difference performance wise or other after a day of use.
