Well nothing I can help you with since you want to keep a knock off phone with random different parts.

MrMike is correct.
You say "current version" yet they are all different variants, for which we can't advise what filmware you need. It should only be one variant, not 3...
As your phone is a marriage of parts, updating it may brick the phone.
Stick with it or get a full refund.

Different region firmware not reccomended to flash unless you know how to unbrick it in the event it happens.
Also the fact that you may trip knox if u brick ur device and do other stuff to revieve it.

It is OXM firmware so its like universal.
You cannot trip knox with stock firmware.
I'll read through but will probably hold off on flashing as I don't fully understand the different region versions.
Want to understand it a bit better first so I'll read up on it and bide my time to see if the updates get pushed out to me soon.
Fingers crossed they do!
Cheers.
Good timing as update rolled out to me this morning...
think I'm still behind though!

Dunno about that, I just received this update and I've been getting them one a week or seems since release. Kernel was built 5 days ago so I suspect your on the latest out there..
I got that update a day ago... on unlocked/stock samsung firmware so i think you're current
AUB9 is latest
Aub9 today uk virgin media
I'm pretty sure I'm seeing a substantial camera improvement which is great. No other big changes jumping out at me though.
Current Version is : R850XXU1ATF3/R850OXA1ATF3
Originally from Korean Region and replaced it with XSP (Singapore) just to get SPay. But never received any update since then. Everytime I check, it always says "Your Software is Up To Date".
According to the instruction last time changing the region will not have any impact on the future product update.
Today, I just checked : https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-R850/XSP/doc.html and apparently had some updates and most recently with : R850XXU1BUD1.
What did I do wrong? And how do I get the latest update now? and if manually update, where can I get the file R850XXU1BUD1 from?

No problem,
But how do I determine which firmware files are correct? I had the impression that R850XXU1ATF3 would be the correct one.
I'm currently trying to download from : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=2188818919693790187
File Name : R850XXU1BUAB_Tizen_3File_CSC (OXA).EF_53e0ae776a.zip
Hope it's the correct one.
Hi,
Just to give you an update that I was able to succesfully updated to
R850XXU1BUAB_Tizen_3File_CSC (OXA).EF_53e0ae776a.zip
Do you reckon that I would be able to do a software update now? The latest should be R850XXU1BUD1 (as shown from : https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-R850/XSP/doc.html) but mine is still
AP: R850XXU1BUA8
CSC : R850OXA1BUA8
Country : XSP (Singapore)
Thanks, a very curious fellow here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey adfree,
Since you seem to be very knowledgeable and I've been waiting for you as well to give me some hint.
Nothing seem to work.
Currently, I have R850XXU1BUA8/R850OXA1BUA8 ==> it's an EIGHT not a B
I understand that this may not be valid for the OTA in : http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/XSP/SM-R850/version.xml
I'm trying to get the version that can be inside the chain, but I can' tseem to find it. Would you be able to direct me to the right place to download?
Thanks a bunch, great appreciate your help
Hi all
I am running the Rog Phone 3 Tencent version with the CN SKU, its all in English and Google Play etc....looks like the below will work for me if I manually install, right ?

Hi all
I can indeed confirm this is the version to manually install if you are on Tencent device with CN finger print.
Much of the Chinese gunk is now gone too....
How... Ive been trying and it just fails to update.
Download to root folder and restart phone when check for update... That's all I did
Tried but it just fails when i click on the notification
Have you previously had a custom rom and then reverted back or is the phone stock.
My CN version is the Tencent one, which is using the official CN software (Obiwan) and it's number matches the number for the software posted.
If you are the same then I'm not sure why it's not working, hopefully someone on here can help.

What firmware are you trying to downgrade from?
It would help if you could post more details to allow the community to figure out your problem and help you.
BTW, If your bootloader is higher than the firmware you're trying to downgrade to, then the process will fail. I'd start by double checking that.

First:
I flashed the latest Firmware available from SAMMOBILE.
this firmware
Now I want to downgrade to this firmware
Reason: some of my apps have incompatibility issues..
Thanks
What you are trying to do is not possible, as that would imply a downgrade of de bootloader.
Your firmware G998BXXU4BULF, cannot be replaced by G998BXXS3AUJ7.
Note the underlined/bold numbers above, which indicate bootloader version.
You cannot flash firmware with lower bootloader number, as already stated bij @enigmaamit.
Report your issues with apps to the app-makers, they should update their app to be compatible with Android 12.

Are you using a device which wasn't offered by your service provider? You may need to flash different firmware.
Did you flash your current FW, or did you receive it via OTA? What is your phone's CSC?
If you flashed it earlier, flash again. If not be patient....

I've never flashed anything, I'm using the phone as I bought it about a year ago. I travel a lot though, so I change sim cards quite frequently.
My CSC is G998BOXM3BUK8

Changing SIM-cards regularly could be the cause...
What is shown under software version under phone info - software details - software version provider? (Or similar menu names) See attached SS.
You could consider flashing latest FW. This threat provides all info...

According to overview on sammobile.com your firmware is indeed up to date for CSC TPA (Panama).
