[Q] Quick firmware question

I just have a quick question about the firmware on my SP (C5302, Bought through Cincinnati Bell and it is carrier locked). I keep seeing things on here about the latest firmware for root and roms etc, so I check mine and its still on 12.0.A.1.257. I have checked via ota and pc companion and it says I am up to date. I have heard the later firmware fixed the weak wifi signal and a few other things. Am I able to use the new firmware or am I stuck on the older one?
If i am able to use the latest firmware what would be the best way to switch to it?.
Thanks in advance

don't update this app!!

download Phone Info *Samsung* from playstore here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
Go to the 3 hash mark on top left, go down to the Other Tools, then go to csc changer (root) and change to verizon csc.
Furthermore you could use shortcut master, you could search Devconfig and launch it and change csc that way.
Either way youll need root, so my suggestions, flash samfail v2 or 1 depending on ur bootloader version, then use the above app and set your csc and enjoy. @darkjoker11
You also could try ##72786# and let it reboot and clear the activation, if it was on sprint before then that may be the issue as well, this is a sprint shortcode to deactivate it and cause it to re-register.

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.

Never get an update on GW3 - R850

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?

ATF3 is simple wrong for XSP CSC... not valid for chain of trust/FOTA crap

ATF6 is inside chain...

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
