Yup, Besides with the March update which was over a gig definitely has my AT&T S22 5G Snapdragon running very very smooth, this phone is in hyper speed with the new March update 😎 👌 😉 😏 😀 👏
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Lol it sucks getting old. Thought I was flashing AVC8...but just flashed AVA6 OVER AVA6😭
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Lmfao 😄😆😅🤣😂
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
I think this is the first time I have updated a device so soon. I got updated like the rest of you. See if I can get those Venom battery stats.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
I purchased the U1 version. Using on TMOB. Got fed up not seeing UC (I get the speeds but it never showed UC). So I dirty flashed the U ROM (used homecsc). Now I see UC! didnt have to do any hard reset. Didn't get any TMOB bloat except the splash screen. All seems fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Arun1314:
You are not alone🤣🤣🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] matty100147:
how do you get google play services so low a drain? everyday its top of my list with around 10% and thats with all location and syncing off
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
I had to factory reset 3 times and flashed stock ATT firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sentry07:
Anyone else having issues with enabling Hotspot on stock u1 with an at&t e-sim? I had no issue with wifi calling and didn't have to flash anything
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
I'm on ATT/U1 no issues for me. Fires right up and I can connect
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sentry07:
You're on e-sim or physical sim? I have an e-sim
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Physical
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Nope works with no issues at all AT&T S22 Ultra 5G Snapdragon
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
This reminds me...wondering if the 'dun' trick from my N20 Ultra days still works to enable unlimited t-mobile hotspot tethering on my t-mobile U S22 ultra...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Well a couple days in on the reset, 22% and 4hrs SOT. Sure isn't what Venom is seeing that's for sure, but it's better than a hit in the head with a brick
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] j0nnyd:
I'm having some issues trying to flash Verizon firmware. I got my S22U from T-Mobile and had them unlock it first. I then flashed U1 firmware and then figured I'd try out the VZW firmware. I downloaded the carrier version from the first post and put my active Verizon SIM in but after I flashed it in Odin it booted up with the TMO firmware. Not sure what I did wrong, I loaded BL, AP, CP, CSC, and USERDATA. I also tried just using BL, AP, CP, and CSC and got the same results. Any help is appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
I went back to AVA6 to see if there is a difference between newest update since I wasn't having any issues on original build. I didn't notice much of a difference. For me both builds were solid..fast..smooth and I always disabled GOS anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
What happened was you need to flash u1 first to wipe carrier stuff. Then flash Verizon firmware. You also need the user data for Verizon if it doesn't come with it (unsure if its been updated)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Did you do a clean flash back to AVA6? The AVC8 messed up my framerate on Cod Mobile with the whole GOS fiasco update. Even with GOS disabled it's still giving me issues, which I didn't have on AVA6. I just don't want to lose data if it requires a clean flash.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
I always do clean install for best results. I don't mind setting things up clean that way I know I'm getting the best out of the firmware and apps. Battery will start to calibrate to my use. I'm kinda OCD like that. I restore nothing...well I would if we had Twrp for backing up stock...lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kraz01:
Is there an Odin for Mac's or is it only for Windows PC's
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] j0nnyd:
Thank you for the help! I was able to find and flash AVA6 with USERDATA and that did the trick!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] yeltrah123:
Anyone has AT&T firmware with userdata? I tried flashing latest firmware with AT&T sim, and it didn't even boot with the AT&T splash screen, and carrier apps which is odd.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bigron77:
I flashed the latest U firmware with the userdata file as well. Just rename the file with a file manger to ATT, and flash it with everything else. I have the ATT boot logo and carrier files installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] yeltrah123:
Ok I will try that.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Talked to a couple more people that say their S22 ultra says this when checking with Phone Information app
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
What app is that?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Samsung phone info app. Doesn't matter which phone info app used, it says invalid serial number
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Checked mines doesn't say refurbished
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Don't think it's with carriers think it's Samsung com but if I'm wrong then correct me.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Yes. Friend on Discord just got his from Samsung.com and his says this and wrong imei
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Yup i heard lot's had that issue from Samsung com , i haven't heard anything from AT&T or all the carriers having the issue that Samsung com has.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
The whole process from Samsung.com has been a complete disaster. I have seen a couple people on Reddit that ordered 1 case got 5. Even seen a few people that got 2 devices when they ordered 1, Samsung saying they didn't receive people's trade in, or when they do a trade with mint condition device saying its not in good condition.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Markeee:
Waiting Sucks I bought my S22 Ultra locally off Offerup got it within one hour of finding it. Paid $1100 for a new 256gb came with Watch 4 and Ear bubs 2 . Then just sold my trade in on FB Marketplace
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Can you guys provide a link for the samsung phone info app you're using to check for this?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Wow that sucks, I'm glad i got mines from AT&T

Samsung Phone Info Apk

4.65 MB file on MEGA

mega.nz
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] KOLIOSIS:
I agree that it's likely a Samsung issue.

I have the same issue...

The Phone Info app message states:

"Your serial number does not match the manufacturing date",along with the refurbished indicator.

I reported this to T-Mobile US (my carrier & point of purchase) & they said they'd share this w/Samsung,along with T-Mobile's internal engineering team.

FWIW, T-Mobile stated they'd treat the phone as purchased new,in the event any warranty servicing is needed.

I'd advise anyone else having this issue to also report it to whoever you purchased the phone to cover your bases for the same warranty servicing.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
I think that app is reading wrong , one the app last update was 2020 so the app needs update.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] derausgewanderte:
Just used this app on my ATT S22 Ultra and get the dreaded "not genuine, is a refurbished one". I call it BS on the app. Also, under about of the app it states 2013-2020, so to me it looks like it's outdated or obsolete. I'd say don't panic if you get this info using the app.

edit: AND I just checked warranty on Samsung.com where it has no problems. I suggest you avoid heartburn and uninstall the useless app.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
I have used several other phone information apps and they all say incorrect serial number. And I forgot Koliosis had this same issue
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
I will just leave well enough alone. I did what Koliosis suggested. Samsung checked my imei and verified it was not a refurbished device. But the damn thing will not get ota...lol. sorry taking up so much time on this. But some say that and some don't even using same app
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
And to settle my "heartburn"..lol this just kicked in on Firstnet
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Matth943:
Still waiting on mine. Maybe ill see it soon. Phone wont even check for updates right now, probably because of the 24 hour lock out, though its been days since checking.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Change your time for next day and date as well then go check software update.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Matth943:
Tried it. Still the same instant ”No update available.” Almost seems like the server is rejecting the request instantly. Cleared the cache and restarted the phone. Even tried switching to an active ATT sim... Though that sim is tied to an iphone line so I don’t know if that messed things up.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
What carrier are you on , cause you can odin to latest security patch without wiping
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Matth943:
Firstnet/ATT.

I wanted to avoid flashing it for the updates and wait and see if eventually I get the OTA update. Not sure how much longer I should give it.

IMEI is correct with them, at least according to local control. I’m gonna guess it has to do with the U1 to U firmware flash. I know I ran into issues when I wanted to activate esim on it for my FN line. Apparently the IMEI for esim was invalid or not compatible. When I looked on the computer at the ATT store, it showed the device as a U1 even though it was running U. So probably something on the back end.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
BTW I was able to successfully dirty flash from U1 to U (as I really wanted to see if i got UC!) and then back to U.

I used the newer version of Odin to go from U1 to U (3.14)

I used the older version from U to U1 (3.13 patched) - as otherwise got SHL256 error

Can confirm 5G speeds are identical on both (even though U1 only says 5G and doesn't say 5G UC)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Battery is getting much better. Only lost 4% overnight
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
That's great. Did you debloat or make some other changes?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Got the ota finally and debloat, but not to the point that my device is unusable
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zook:
Hey so I have a question real quick. Have the 256 Verizon model and used the U1 to get rid of the bloat. Originally thought it was alright. It updated to AVC8 and it's still alright but I would like to go back to the carrier version. Do I just go back to Odin mode and flash S908 AVC8?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
That and the Verizon userdata
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zook:
So just to confirm, each slot on Odin should be full? Including userdata?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
Yessir
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zook:
Thank you so much, going to work on it now. You've been wonderful!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
No problem. Lmk if you need something
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nightflow:
So flashing an unlocked version won't work on my Carrier Verizon s22 ultra to get rid of the Bloatware?

I tried lol SHA 22 error on ODIN. unless I'm doing something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
Doing something wrong. If your getting that error you need the patched Odin. Once you use that you should be good

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
Umm try the 3.13 in the second post then. That's where the files are
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
If that doesn't work please try to verify your flashing the right files
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Markeee:
If your using HOME_CSC, that might be your issue i think you need to do a complete wipe
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
If you are flashing between U1 and U firmware you need to factory reset first.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
On various occasions I've gotten rid of the SHA error by just changing cables and/or using a different USB slot.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Wow someone should really add this to OP...

/s

Dirty Flash:​

I would only do this if you are having to manually update to the newer firmware and would not do it if you are coming/going to U/U1 or from beta firmware or if you are on an old firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nightflow:
wow, that just worked for me lol using Odin 3.13 instead of 3.14.4 Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
No problem! It's finicky lol. When I did it to my tmo one it needed 3.14
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
So was that a gotcha comment? If not my apologies. But if it is, this is one of the reasons I don't come here much anymore. I'm not some noob that has no clue. I suggested that because sometimes..sometimes people skip over things. Not saying the person that posted the question did this. But again if it wasn't meant that way I'm man enough to say sorry.😁
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Nah bro you good, I was just making a general sarcastic comment.

My bad if I offended you.

Lol all good with me too my friend. Sorry if I jumped to soon

Good god...I am really old. I was like what the heck is COD mobile. Yep had to look it up🤣

Dang Exynos getting April update already
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] redwineman:
I am a noob to this thread and was hoping I could get some advice. My wife and I both got AT&T S22 Ultra’s back on February 20th. Since then, her phone has received the March OTA update, but mine has not. As mentioned by another poster my phone does not even seem to check for an update when done manually. I have done everything that others have recommended to no avail. So if I follow the steps in Post #1 and #2 and do a dirty flash will that get me back on the OTA update path?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
What is the current build that your device is on and what carrier?

IMO, if you're having problems getting OTA there may be something "Stuck" (For lack of a better term). I would totally recommend that if you decide to flash a firmware, that you allow it to wipe the device. If you do a dirty wipe, there's a possibility that whatever is causing the device to not check for updates would carry over to the new firmware too.

My 2 cents
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] redwineman:
Thanks, the current build is S908USQU1AVA6 and the carrier is AT&T. An interesting thing is the back in 2019 I had the same issue on the S10+. The account was as you said stuck. At that time I took it to a store called uBreakIfix that serviced Samsung. They flashed the software to the latest version and there after I got the OTA updates. Strange?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
At&t is horrible with this. I had same issue on Note8,9,10+,and 20ultra. I don't know what it is but it always happens to me, so I feel your pain. I suggest a quick call to tech support. I have called before and they say account is fine but magically after I call its like a day later then I get the ota
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Stuart R:
Same here. Long since given up on OTA for AT&T. Always use Frija/ Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] redwineman:
Thanks for the feedback. As I mentioned I also had the same problem with my S10+ years ago. They said they sent the update but it never came. I finally took it to a store that does Samsung warrant work and they flashed it. Not sure how but they did not need any passwords only to have the phone in developer mode. They returned the phone with everything intact and then when the next update was released I got it OTA. Anyway, just called AT&T and they have said that they pushed the latest update but it could take several hours before it arrived. We will see!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Any luck?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] redwineman:
Not yet! Waited with phone plugged in and connected to WiFi as they requested no results, but I did not expect it to work. Will call them again on Monday just to get it on the record.

A quick question, can you tell me the difference between the patch version of Odin and the regular version? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Donnie267:
Maybe a dumb question. Will this allow oem unlock on 908u? I've read it isn't possible on this model.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
The "Unlocked" version has nothing to do with any unlocking any aspect of the device. It's only "unattached" from the carrier standard branded releases.

If you're asking about SIM unlocking, that is only done with your carrier.

If you're asking about unlocking a bootloader, I haven't seen anything about anyone being able to do that yet
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Donnie267:
It's the bootloader. I'm not surprised though, considering how new the phone is.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dia_naji:
I currently have the TMB U firmwire on my s22 ultra. The battery seems a tad bit better on the U1 firmware. Anyone else notice this as well? U1 I was getting 7-8 hours SOT. T-Mobile I am getting 5-6. Not to bad considering I end the day atound 9 PM with 20-30%
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Yeah its probably all the bloatware.

I'm getting better battery life on U1 firmware than I was getting originally on AT&T U firmware.

If you wanna stick to TMB U firmware, you can manually disable some system apps and bloatware using ADB Control App, it's on XDA. Or you can download Alliance Shield X from the Play Store to disable them.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
I'm on At&t U firmware. I tried U1 didn't notice a difference. But what did make a difference for me was the March security patch update. I don't really keep track of Screen on time as I only charge to 85%. I just figure if it needs charged...just charge it. But the difference for me was going from losing 8% overnight to only losing 2% overnight. But each person's usage is different so what works for me is not the end all be all. But again I saw no difference in battery using U1
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
You can't say you don't really keep track of screen on time then say you saw no difference in battery using U1/U. That's a contradiction.

I've flashed from U to U1, U1 to U, clean flash, dirty flash, done extensive testing with both in regards to battery life and there is most definitely a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
If you read what I said it was based on percentage loss not screen on time. God I get so tired of everyone trying to prove someone wrong here. I can see how much percentage I lost just by looking at the top of my screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
And I also stated it's different for each person.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
If I'm not mistaken you did debloat using ADB as well too right?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Correct
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] redwineman:
Update: Today called AT&T again. As I think is the consensus here they were useless. The person I spoke to did not even understand the concept of updates within Android 12. They referred me to Samsung, who referred me to their local repair shop. Here it is called UbreakIfix. Called them and they said they could flash the phone with the update so I will bring it to them next week.

Quick question, is the firmware on a site called Samfw.com legit? And what does the patched version of Odin do different?

Thanks all
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Yes the firmware is legit
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Basically the patched version bypasses some of the things that Samsung has in place that prevent the regular version from communicating with the device
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
I'm thinking of debloating as well.... Would you say Alliance Shield X works equally well compared to ADB or is it lacking in some aspects? I much prefer the flexibility of doing everything on the phone itself since I travel quite a bit..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Alliance Shield X will work just as good. No worries. I've used both Alliance and ADB Control App and both were able to successfully disable any app I want.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dia_naji:
It's not bloatware since I already used adb to disable anything I don't need. The u1 firmware just does a better job with battery then the U. Thinking some sort of update in the future will fix it
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
I assume we will soon get the latest update
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Curious if ours will be the same massive 1.4gb one that was pushed to the Exynos users in Europe.... I don't think I currently have any problems that requires that big of an update :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
Battery life...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Wow battery life is outstanding at 42% over 7hrs SOT , as you can see used some apps over and hour. Definitely this phone is a super beast.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Omg this is the best I've seen!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dia_naji:
Any specific settings you are using to achieve this?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
To be honest nothing special just all bloatware from AT&T disabled, plus how i have my phone setup,

Definitely I'm good with my battery life SOT over 10hrs, AT&T S22 Ultra 5G Snapdragon 512GB.

Most of it LTE and some 5G with a bit of wifi, extra brightness on and 120hrz max 60hrz min with WQHD, processing speed on ,no issues at all this phone is a beast.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
I'm getting about 5, 5 1/2 hours MAX
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Same here.. I think I've pushed mine as far as 6 hours once before... Let's hope the next update will address this for us and hopefully Venom's trademarked patent will expire soon so we can all enjoy the spoils as well :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
Can you share with us the list you are disabling? What are you using to disable apps? When will ATT April update come?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
Hello guys! I'm using in Italy a s22 ultra which came from USA ATT branded. Today I flashed the stock u1 rom andò so i unbranded it. There is one problem though: before flashing this rom I was able to use 5G, also when it first booted up the device picked 5G. Then it said it had to reboot to apply some sim settings and boom, after the reboot my phone won't connect at anything but LTE, not even 4g+ and obviously not 5g. Is there something I can do?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
I would suspect (but can't confirm) that the U1 firmware had a limited selection of the 5G bands that it has available and the ones they do have aren't ones that are used in Italy.

I don't know if there's a fix for that TBH, short of going back to the stock ATT firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
The problem is: when I booted up the U1 firmware the first time, it picked up the 5g. Then a pop up window said i had to reboot my device to apply some carrier settings and then I lost 5g. Maybe flashing modem of the ATT firmware will work?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Did you try Samsung Band Selection from the Play Store?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
How to flash back stock ATT firmware? i tried 2 firmwares ATT, tried odin patched and official, it only boots up normally as if it was unbranded!! What can i do?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Factory reset, did you try that🤔🤔
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
I always flashed evrything including userdata so the phone resetted itself every time...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
Is it possible to force odin thinking that I have an AT&T sim? So it will flash ATT customizations...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
No, you'd have to flash an ATT firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
That is the question! I have flashed the ATT firmware multiple times, with CSC and Useradata too. The phone got reset and the booted up as if it was unbranded... I mean what am I doing wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dadmi:
Are you having ATT sim in the phone while resetting the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmazDev:
Nope, it's a Vodafone IT sim...
