What happened the October update for unlocked devices? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

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?

When was your latest update?

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.

Im on PB6 too. Samsung should release the next update with april security patch within the next few weeks
Does the location and language settings used for initial setup has anything to do with the delay of the updates? Just curious to know, where do guys get the International version in USA?

global version (930F) is available at swappa dot com, Best Buy, and B&H Photo/Video
Been on APB6 too on my G930F for a while. It's an international version I got from eBay, using it on prepaid. Initial language setup was set as united kingdom but I changed it to united States. I'm a bit jealous hearing other European origin variants got updates

G930FD here. Duos version. Didn't expect the updates to be so quick. Already on April patch. While my Duos G4 isn't getting quick updates as promised by LG. LG only gives priority in updates only for the International(Single SIM) version. But Sammy's case is quite unexpected.
Ditto here, but still on PB4 / Feb patch. (G930F)
I've only had it a few days, but this is the only reason I got this one over the carrier variant. Meanwhile T-Mobile and Verizon have already released updates with the April patch.
Lovely! ....

Have NOT got the June update yet? HELP!

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

Why the hell is it July patch and not August....... Last patch was May patch....... Every other Samsung device has gotten August and will soon be getting september.
Also South America got this update 31th July..... Europe/North America still hasnt gotten this update.
I'm gonna be mad if we get it without August Patch.

Change CSC - Korean Note 20 Ultra

Hello,
I just bought a Note 20 Ultra Korean variant with Snapdragon processor.. I am using the phone in India.. it seems to have some KT carrier branded firmware in it.. it also has some carrier specific settings in the menu.. I understood that the CSC of my device is KTC and Korean unbranded model has KOO CSC.. is there a way I can change the CSC to KOO and install stock Samsung firmware on this device? I have no idea how to change the CSC.. tried*#272*IMEI# and it doesnt work.
I am on September security patch.
Please help me.
No one? Someone please help? :-/

I can't find July software for Korean Note 20 Ultra anywhere. I am currently on September patch. Need to downgrade to July patch to use Mysterious-Dev CSC changer app.

AFAIK, the Korean(SM-N986N) model was released with August security patch right out of the box, i.e. there was no firmware build for consumers with July security patch for this model. So searching for a July-patched build might not help.

That's with August security patch, having July-end build.
I own this model and live in South Korea. The firmware came out in July upon launch with August security patch. There has been one security patch update released since then (September 4). So, maybe the OP is SOL about downgrading unless the original firmware will still work for changing CSC. I don't know, as I've stopped messing with that stuff years ago now.

I think my phone came with July security patch.
The only reference I can find to ATGI firmware is testing from Samsung back in July and the pic was in Korean. I pre-ordered mine and it came with ATH1 firmware out of the box in August. You're not going to find that firmware anywhere easily. I can't even get a hit on a Korean search engine. Good luck.

Without changing the CSC first and then flashing, it will have no changes whatsoever. I tried. ?
