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

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

What happened the October update for unlocked devices?

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?

Recover OTA updates on stock firmware

I've searched about a lot but I haven't found a straight answer so if anyone can give me a hand it would be highly appreciated.
I have a G930FD which originally had a XSG (United Arab Emirates) firmware. As soon as the first BETA Nougat firmware was available I sideloaded it, and the same happened with the first offical Nougat release, CSC BTU.
A couple of days later, the official Nougat firmware from my original CSC (XSG) was released, but I already had flashed the BTU version so I didn't download it.
My question is, having changed my CSC from XSG to BTU, will I recieve future OTA updates? I understand it won't be the case because the Firmware CSC and the IMEI (or any other form of ID on the phone) do not match on Samsung's records. All my past phones had TTT CSC which had terrible waiting times for updates so I always sideloaded new firmware on them, but now my S7 seems to be receiving OTA a lot sooner.
Will I gain access to OTA by flashing the XSG firmware?
Thanks a lot for your time.

Anyone??

Whatever your CSC is, they are the OTA updates you will receive, so if it is currently BTU, you will receive BTU OTA updates so long as it remains stock / official (Not rooted or other custom)

Thanks for your reply. I actually changed the CSC to BTU when I installed the Nougat Beta firmware, and when the final version was released I didn't receive the OTA Update, so I thought I wasn't going to receive any.

Not sure it has released for the FD yet, just F
Afaik you can flash F firmware on FD though, so you could flash the final Nougat 7 G930F firmware with ODIN and continue to receive OTA updates for the F model
DualSIM still works too from what I understand

That's most likely the reason, I hadn't take into account the fact that my S7 is FD, not F. I'm pretty sure BTU doesn't have a FD model, which is mostly reserved for the asian and eastern market. I might need to search for the firmware released specifically for the FD in order to recieve OTA updates. I'll give it a try with the XSG Nougat available on sammobile even when it is labeled as a F firmware. FD version doesn't get that much attention regarding the flashable firmware files on the sites I usually visit.
I'll wait for the February security patch OTA and see what happens.
Firmware for the F version works 100% on the FD by the way, tested on both Beta and Final Nougat versions.
Thanks for your time mate.

That's what I thought. I have checked sammobile.com and live.samsung-updates.com for new BTU firmwares and I haven't seen any, so I suppose that there are no new security patches released for BTU region yet...I'm only assuming so...

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

Thanks

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?

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. ?
