Has anyone gotten the update for the US unlocked version?
This is very strange. I have minor bugs and i was hoping the December patch would solve but it seems the lapse has already begun for this device.
Strangely enough locked versions have received December patch ( Only verizon i think)
If anyone can shed some light... please do and does it make sense flashing verizon firmware on this device.
Hi, is this your version?

I got the BUKK OTA update this morning on my unlocked S21 Ultra here in the USA on the Visible network.
It does have the December 2021 security update and I believe it was around 300 mb in size. I can't tell you what it fixed, since the 120 Hz bug was fixed in a previous update, and that was the only real bug that bothered me.
Just got the January update here in Germany. Lots of stuff updated...
I just got BUKK on my s21 ultra unlocked in the US, I use t-mobile as my carrier. Hopefully the January update comes out with some more fixes soon.
I just flashed my Sprint SM-G998U to a U1 and got the update last night
Bukk... Jan 5th Dec security
Bule... Jan 10th Jan security
hello friends, WiFi calling is not working after BUKK update, is it working for you?

Hey guys, has anyone on an International SM-N950F received a security update later than 1st August 2017 yet?
I'm not talking about the US or Snapdragon models!

Nope, no one in the EU has till now.
Yeah, didn't think so. I've been Tweeting @Samsungmobile and @SamsunghelpUK but they don't even bother themselves to respond.
Samsung rolled today the BQK6 out for the N950F. It should arrive also for other regions shortly.
both my 950f unlocked models are still on august 1st security patch, don't see the big deal about it though

Hi, the big deal is that your phone is vulnerable to the KRACK and Blueborne exploits and is therefore insecure.
Indian version SM-N950FD has received November security patch today morning.

I've updated mine using this method earlier today, thanks!
SPAIN. No update so far
Still on Aug patch.
Still waiting....
Still on August as well.
I'm new to Samsung so the CSC has me a little confused. I'm in Canada but have the International version N950F/D. My CSC is reported as CHO/CHO/BRI. Since the update was released to BRI already, shouldn't I have gotten it or do I need to wait until it shows up for CHO? I'm currently on N950FXXU1AQI8 for Build Number and N950FXXU1AQHB for Baseband. Thanks....sorry for the newb question.
I'm still shocked at how a large company like Samsung let's their flagship phones fall so far behind in updates/security. I came from Oneplus, who used to have a bad rep in the software updates area but is nowhere near as bad.
Nothing in PAK yet. N950FD

Samsung SUX in updates..for their flagship device...strange.
Got my update this morning. 536MB, N950FXXU1AQHB, November 1st security patch. I am in Europe, Portugal. All good so far.
Got the update on my 950F (CCT: AUT) today

Are you sure you have the INDIAN-version (CSC=INS) of the Note8?
Because India has received the December security-patch already!
I'm just curious if there are any other N960W users that can confirm that they're also still on the May update on Telus. I have yet to receive the June or July update at all.
Anyone else?

i don't have your phone, however, samfirmware shows there at least being the June update available., with the security patch showing as:

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note9/firmware/SM-N960W/TLS/download/N960WVLU1CSE3/275532/
If you search "baseband version" in settings, does "N960WVLU1CSE3" match with your phones version? if so you are on the latest at the moment as far as i can see.

Thank you for the reply, that baseband version matches, so I guess I am on the latest build available after all.
jd14771 said:
yeah, i had similar questions, and it seems that the security version is usualy a month or two behind the builds release date. hence the june update with may security patch.

I am on SM-N960F, international Eyxnos based version in UK which is different to your model, that said the latest build over here has the latest security update.

Hi. I am with Rogers and have the same model as you. Rogers will have an update at the end of July and I am pretty sure you will too. It will be the July update but I do not know if it will include the camera night mode which is what I really want.
BTW, I am also just on the May 1 update
jd14771 said:
since you have the snapdragon variant, then the chances of getting night mode is .1%. only exynos has gotten camera night mode so far.

The update actually just happened now on Rogers - over 700 MB - and it includes night mode.
Korean Exynos variant here (KOO), I also still have the May update only. Tried all kinds of crazy stuff to get the camera night mode and latest security update to no avail. Samsung sucks.

same here, n960n only that im in (SKC) and on april , which by the way is quite bad, you would think samsung will update those models first seeing that its for their home market but nope.
i thought maybe samsung knows we are outside korea but when i check sammobile and other web pages it doesnt show new updates.
i really didnt want to root but this might make me to root and flash a rom with latest updates, but first i have to visit samsung service center to check my camera module.
Same here, verizon update last night. Includes night mode. Also includes typo...lol
just got the update with night mode and july security - n960n.
Still on the June update. Im on sprint
Sorry for going off topic here, I see you "W" guys updated the firmware - any battery life hit on Canadian N9? I am on Koodo and still on Oreo, scared to upgrade after reading many complaints about the battery life issues.
Thanks
Just got an update from at&t 882mb
Hello everyone and happy new year, my Samsung s21 ultra unlocked phone on Verizon wireless is still running the BUK7 firmware ,not sure why it won't update, anyone else having the same issue, help would be greatly appreciated
Update hasn't rolled out fully to everyone yet after they halted it. Stop making new threads, just be patient...
I'm on US unlocked with a Mint Moble sim and I got the update after BUK7 which was the BUKF. It was a small <300 MB update, but still with November patch.
If you don't have the update yet, you can download it from sammobile or samfw
But we should bet getting one soon with the December security update. Seems like the SM-G998U1 model with all other CSCs are getting them since yesterday. The unlocked model has the XAA CSC and for that the last update was December 8th to BUKF

My S21 ultra unlocked updated via Samsung smart switch to version BUKK
I bought a used galaxy s21 ultra from a local store that buys & sells and used phones. It's network unlocked with att firmware. It is using Android 11 and one is 3.1. Its latest security patch is Sept 1 2021 When I attempt to update, the phone, it tells me that it's up to date.
Is it normal for a recent flagship device to be over a year behind on security updates and coming now it's about to be 2 Android versions behing
What is the version of your s21 ultra...
SM-G998U
You can check here what the latest firmware is for the phone:
https://samfrew.com/model/SM-G998U/
Change CSC maybe?
Can you post the exact build?
Prob someone manually flashing the wrong firmware on it so no AT&T OTAs will work, but easily fixed.
If you post the version it should be obvious.

Im using the SM-G998U1 (US Unlocked) Snapdragon variant of the S21 Ultra in Pakistan.
The official latest OTA update for Jan 2023 rolled out about 15 days ago but I haven't received it on my phone yet in Pakistan.
How long does it usually take for OTA updates to roll out outside US or specifically in Pakistan after official roll out?
It depends on the region and carrier?
Did you go to Settings-System Update?

The phone I have is US Unlocked version. The carrier I have the sim for is Jazz in Pakistan. The G998B i.e. the locally sold Exynos version has already gotten the update.
Yes, I have tried the Settings-Software Update

Hi I got the update normally. There was a delay in release of update for this region. Now updating normally on a monthly basis.
Try Smart Switch desktop app if you aren't getting the update.
