How To Guide OTA update issue - Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

Hello,
I got a samsung galaxy s22 ultra which is a USA model. I was having a concern as when i change my csc code to XAA or GCF I don't get ota updates i have to manually update my phone via odin or change my csc to carrier based ones like usc or usc then i get ota update...My phone's model number is SM-S908U and whenever i try to check firmware on sammobile for my model number it doesn't shows any firmware for XAA....
I did some research on my end and some people are saying that XAA doesn't belongs to SM-908U series of phones it is for SM-S908U1 model.....
I have attached a screenshot of my model number and csc of my phone, can anyone guide me if the firmware and model number of my phone are corrct according to the csc code n all stuff and is there any solution for that ota update problem

your firmware is correct XAA ( AIO , ATT MVNO )
for new Samsung device , if you change original CSC you will loose OTA update
GCF | USA (WORLD WIDE)

My question is that isn't XAA csc belongs to U1 model rather than U models
And for csc part when i got the phone my csc was GCF/GCF,XAA/XAA

as you can see in the picture , i'm talking abot S918U and not U1

I want to know if there is any way to check wether my device was U or U1 software initially....
Because i am javing doubt that the person who sold me this has changed the software manually

Galaxy s7 g930p firmware guide

Hello i am new here i have some questions plz.clear my mind issue is i have galaxy s7 g930p when i dial*#1234# it shows AP, CP G930P AND CSC G930F what is this??? I want to update oreo which firmware should i use i am in pakistan and already use os marshmallow
Boot into download mode (Power + Home + Vol Down) and check what model number it says you have there.
Then download the firmware specifically for that model and nothing else.
Thanks for reply... in download mode its shows g930p and also in settings same model name and also back on phone side same but in recovery mode shows g930v
Here is some detail...
In the Downloads mode SM-G930P is displayed,
in the Phone Info also SM-G930P,
in the manufacturer "Samsung / Verizon",
product code "Not Active",
Original CSC code is empty,
CSC firmware code VZW,
active VZW firmware code,
available CSC codes are empty,
SCS country USA / HK,
Bootloader version G930PVPU4APL6,
PDA version G930PXXU1BPIA,
version CSC G930FXXU1BPIA,
radio module version G930PVPU4APL6.
Which model firmware should i download
Download mode is the only value that can't be changed by modifying the firmware, so it's your true model.
The G930P is the US Sprint S7 model running Snapdragon, so you can use any Snapdragon firmware with Odin (G930U/V/T/P) but don't attempt to flash anything Exynos as it will brick your phone (G930F/FD/W8/K)
G930U is the carrier unlocked generic firmware, so the best one to use if you don't want bloat etc.
Thank u so much can i now install latest update of g930u? in odin fill all boxes with g930u files also csc g930fxxu1bpia with g930u file?
Thank you so much sm-g930u firmware with oreo now working in my sm-g930p no any issue here thanks

Convert N20 Ultra from VZW to T-MO

Hello, I have an unlocked Galaxy Note 20 Ultra from Verizon. I am wondering if it is possible to fully convert this device to work fully with TMobile I was specifically wondering if it's possible to use TMobiles 5G Network on this device. I have flashed the U1 Firmware to the device but it never showed me an Option to choose my carrier or anything like that, and even though the Signal shows 5G whenever I turn a speed test or view the cell info it pops up as LTE
You need to change your device CSC to TMB and flash TMB U firmware, not U1.
You device currently shows VZW/VZW/VZW in your screenshot.
It should read TMB/TMB/TMB, or at least VZW/VZW/TMB.
The SIM card itself will determine what network you have access to.
Be careful though as you have now flashed newer firmware with the new version 2 bootloader.
So you can only use firmware with that bootloader version. No going back.

If you change ur CSC from VZW to TMB, then it will read TMB/TMB/VZW in your screenshot.
You can only change to TMB/TMB/TMB if you root your phone .
For more details, visit https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...bands-and-services-5g-low-band-on-u1.4182293/
Please note, some codes in original post don't work for some, with latest 10.1 Update.
Using Sammobile, I've seen U1 firmware with a T-Mobile CSC. That way you won't have all the T-Mobile apps or boot screen.

Question Flashing firmware with a different CSC

Hi!
I have a Galaxy A12 model SM-A125U with TMK region csc limited to Metro T-mobil
I would like to flash the phone with a firmware for the unbranded phone XAA region CSC.
The new model firmware is SM-A125U1_XAA
I don't know if I will brick the phone since it is network locked to Metro Tmobil.
The unbranded model # has a "1" after the model # but I am hoping it is the same model only unbranded.
Any suggestions or knowledge shared will be appreciated.
I apologize if I posted in the wrong place.
Thanks

In theory, it "should" be safe as long as the binary of what you are flashing is not lower than the binary what is currently installed on your device. Keep in mind that flashing the X firmware will not have any effect on unlocking the device and will not allow you to activate the device on a different network.
Thanks Droidriven,
I don't know how to check the binary of the file nor what it is.
Can I flash the firmwareto my phone with odin even though my bootloader isn't unlocked?

Question Flash firmware from other regions & Recieve OTA updates

Dears,
I have S908E 22 Ultra, but my country always get updates very late. So the question is if I flashed other country firmware without changing CSC , will I still get OTA updates ?
Yes you will get but those OTA updates will be from that other region only
Hi, I have S908E 22 Ultra, I want to flash the USA or SM-G9880 firmware (or any snapdragon firmware) is OK ?
Also I changed the CSC code but the last line (country of production not change) example: COO/COO/COO after change CSC: XID/XID/COO. It's possible to change the country of production CSC without root?
Can anyone help with the info if can do it or not, only the last CSC (country of production) other CSC I changed with SamFw FRP Tool but like I said I can change the last 3 letters!
Thank you!

It is not possible to change CSC without tripping Knox. You must unlock the bootloader to change the CSC.

Unlock the bootloader and use Odin to flash OXM firmware. OXM is multi-CSC, so you should be able to change region to India.
Don't forget you can use the Search function to look for solutions to questions that have been asked many, many times before.

If you unlock your bootloader, you can install any CSC you want, so you'd just download INS firmware and flash it using Odin.
Or, you can flash the OXM firmware and simply change the region to India, as I stated in my first reply.
Ok i got that now second major issue is that i cannot unlock my bootloader as my developers option is not showing oem unlocking
no need to unlock your bootloader to change the CSC, just use this application to do so

Can you suggest best US based csc with regular ota updates as i am not getting ota update on gcf....stuck on may security patch update....
Can GCF based devices get ota updates i read it in someone's post that they can be only updated via odin or sideloading
GCF gives more LTE and 5G bands support so maybe that's why your phone has it set on that. You can change it to XAA as it's bloatware free and gets regular updates.

Wanted to ask it just out of curiosity....there is no way to change my csc from USA version to Indain version....by any means?
I don't think this is possible... and that's why Samsung has different variants for different countries ...
Okkk....
But by any chance u get to know that it can be changed to Indian csc please do let me know it will be very helpful
Thinking of flashing this firmware update via odin....device model number : SM-S908UZKEVZW
Region:VZW
OP, Are you sure it is an "unlocked" version? Based on he last three charactors of the model# you provided says it is a Verizon branded phone. Yes, technically it was unlocked after 60 days, but since you are not connected to Verizon's network, that may be the reason you are not getting OTA updates.

As for unlocking the bootloader, none of the US variants' bootloaders are unlockable.
I changed my csc code from GCF to USC and now in sim card manager settings it is showing only sim1 option and esim no sim2 option is available
