Bought online from Korea and am in Singapore when I bought it last August 2020. Had to change region to unlock the Samsung Pay, Spotify.
Since then I'm not able to get any updates. So been doing it manually using the Odin.
Now my version is R850XXU1BUA8/R850OXA1BUA8
The latest one should be R850XXU1BUE3 according to
Notify Update
doc.samsungmobile.com
Why is mine not updating?
Can somebody help please? I'm tired of having to look for the combination files.
Please...
It will only update if the current firmware version was released for the region your watch is on. To check that, use this link, after changing the region code in the link (use capitals): https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-R840/PHN/doc.html
I can't get the links to work for SM-845 (VZW)....US on verizon, still not on BUD1

Hello,
I have my Samsung Galaxy S for 3 days and I bought it from Elgiganten (Denmark), and I think it has something to do with TDC, because I found one icon with TDC on my menu. (the phone is bought without contract for any carrier...I use prepay BiBoB SIM). The problem is that when I connect the phone to computer I can't do any update. Is there a problem with the software or there is really no update for it?
Thank you in advance for understanding and for any suggestion.
You need to make sure you have the latest Kies update for firmware updates to become visible.
I already have the latest Kies version ( 1.5.3.10103_100), and still no available firmware update....
Is there anyone from Denmark that made an update to the firmware using Kies?
Thx for the reply!

Chances are, if Kies is recognizing the phone okay, and your phone is going into Samsung Kies "mode" when you plug it into the computer.. and the fact you just got it 3 days ago i would suspect there is no updates at this time.... even if others from Denmark have got updates in the past... your unit probably already has the latest and greatest considering how new it is!!!.
There is a thread floating around here somewhere listing all the most up to date firmwares per Country.. do a search... you'll find it i'm sure..
Currently there is no updates for TDC product code.
Thats because the official 2.2 update will be out soon.
TDC is the product code of a branded phone, the unbranded Danish variant would be with XEE product code.
This means more waiting from my side
Thank you all for the replies!
Hi,
I'm not very familiar with flashing Samsung devices so please excuse me if this is a silly question.
For awhile, I was given a Note 9 (SM-N960F) to test for work and I was able to flash the latest firmware almost regardless of the region that received the update. I'd download the 4gb file and use Odin to flash away. Very simple.
Now that I had to give the phone back, I got myself an S10 (SM-G973W) with Telus here in Canada and I'm not sure what I can safely flash. If I look at Samfirm for SM-G973W it seems rather limited, I can find the March update or the April update but that's it.
Is it because those are the only two firmwares available? Are there alternative regions I can keep an eye on for quicker updates? Is it that Canadian carries simply didn't make an update available with April security updates?
Thank you

"F" is the international model with European and Latin American CSCs. "W" is Canada only. No additional regions or countries will be available.

Thank you, looks like it's going to be waiting for OTAs for me!
This isn't much of a question more is it a vent of frustration towards Samsung. I am still on the July Security Policy despite Samsung claiming Monthly Security Updates. When OEM's refuse to Update their devices on time or out right at all this is when fragmentation becomes a big deal. Monthly should mean Monthly Until the end of life. No exceptions.
Thoughts?

then just update it manualy:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-9/firmware/SM-N960F/BNG/download/N960FXXS3CSH2/286019/
you can also use samfirm tool 0.3.6 or frija app to download it with ure pc since that web site has trash speeds and flash it using odin. but be sure ure pc has samsung android drivers before using odin.
i believe you could also use samsung smart switch software to check for an update and flash it too.
so as you can see you can just update the device yourself instead of waiting. read and search xda for any of the tools and ways to use them aforementioned.

I was hoping to do that however I checked on there for mine. My product code is XSP which is the Singapore Version and the latest one is June 1st which im already on. If I were to flash a different region's firmware could I just use Home CSC to keep XSP? Thanks for the help

you can probably skip it all together. but your csc is the carrier code. if the phone is not carrier tied then you should either use the link i sent which is multi csc and would probably contain your sim CSC or find out the carrier code matching your carrier/sim.
read up on samsung and CSC for more details.

Yes. It won't change your product code and wipe your device. Rest assured.

i have the same model but i believe it's something to do with the region instead of the carrier.
In comparison withe the firmware for both SG and PH, PH received 2 updates from July (CSF9 and CSG3) as compared to SG which only received one (CSF9).

Yeah, I think ill just wait it out because flashing over a security patch seems like a nuclear option. Hopefully in arrives in the coming weeks. Thanks for the help and information though everyone I appreciate it.
You guys are touching a contentious issues with the way Samsung delivers update in Singapore.
Due to the national telcos bottlenecking the process, Samsung phones are getting much lesser updates than the rest of the world.
As an example, Galaxy Note 9 in Europe (UK/DE/FR), version N960F which is identical to the one sold in Singapore received a total of 24 updates, including 4 different built of Android 10/OneUI 2.0 and is up to date with the March 2020 security update.
In Singapore, the Note 9 received 8 updates and the latest is from October 2019 with the October security update.
I use galaxy watch 3 Indian variant. To use samsung pay i change watch csc to US for some time and now i change watch CSC again to India.
Issue is I am not able to update watch software when I tap on update it show me that watch is updated but i watch is not updates.
My watch current Software version is R840XXU1ATF3 and current updated version is R840XXU1BTK1.
When I change my csc again to US then watch show me an update available with current software version but when I change again to India then there is no update.
Can anyone suggest me what I have to do or does anyone have the latest firmware for galaxy watch 3 SM-R840.
There's a good chance that the firmware release your watch is on was never released in India.
If your Indian CSC is INS, you can see here that ATF3 was never released for INS, the versión before BTK1 was actually BTG8.
So either you update to BTK1 while on US CSC and change the CSC to INS after the update, or you install the BTG8 and get the update automatically.

Hey bro,I want to got the more firmware in other countrys such as HongKong in China(TGY)and China Open(CHC).Do you know where I could get this?
Hi guys,
I need advice for the s21 Ultra that i bought on Rakuten. In the description the seller said it was an international/US version and at this time I didn't know that it could cause problems knowing that I live in France. I have the G998U/DS version
For now the phone is working perfectly. I don't have all the problem i can see in other thread like the broken GPS, a poor network, wallet broken etc. Everithing is ok.
But i need advice for the last update with Android 13. Actually i get the Android 12. And of course the phone does not offer me any updates. I know this is because i have a US version and i live in France.
So question 1 : Do you think I will eventually get the update in the future ?
Question 2 : If I install the update by flashing the phone, won't I have all the problems that others have with this us version and living in France ?
Thanks for your support fox.

Hi,
If everything is working out of the box, then you shouldn't worry much. It's always better to install the update via OTA. It doesn't matter where you live/use the device, as long as there's an update for your device (Snapdragron chipset and CSC), it should automatically show up. If you want to install the update manually, then it's better to download the official update via Frija and install the update via Odin.
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your answer. It help me a lot.
About the update, i read everywhere that where we live/use the device is impact the update. For now i don't have any update that show up. I am in Android 12 and i should have the android 13 update.
Lot of people said that i probably never had the update because it's an import us version and live in France.
What about that ? Do you thinks i will get the update in the future ?
Thanks again
It seems you are on a March update. I have a feeling your device's was a locked device which was then unlocked...I could be wrong through...https://samfrew.com/model/SM-G998U/ Here's what I could pull up regarding your device's update. You need to careful on which file you download as I don't see any OXM ROMs for US devices...they are provided by carriers.
Ok,
I think in my case, update will not be possible. I'll stay in Andoird 12 until next phone. Never buy again in Rakuten ahah.
Thanks for all your help.
Remove SIM, use VPN to connect US and try update over wifi.

Just try and not working but that was a good idea
When i chek on Frija, he give me this :
What do you think about this update ?
Edit : this firmware contains these files
If you are sure of the CSC, go ahead. The reason is yours is not OXM rom so you have to be extremely careful when choosing the files.

Ok, thanks, i think i'll do the update.
To be sure, you mention a OXM ROM but i can see that i have o OYN rom like you see in this screen :
I really can't place the device's region. There's no region called GCF in Samfrew. I feel it's a subset of another region. Dunno
Finally I did not dare to flash my phone, I am too afraid that I can not use it anymore
Anyway, thank you very much for your help
