I am thinking it's much more serious than they are letting on. They want to get the fix right the first time.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Those files are from the Samsung Firmware Update Server and are likely designed for Odin. You might want to take a look at SamLoader to download the firmware from a Linux distro (I'm not sure if they will download anything differently)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FernBch:
Ok, I've hit another roadblock. My Linux distro is fixed and Heimdall is working properly. To flash with Heimdall you load the front-end, then load tthe package. Once You choose the package Heimdall decompresses it. I'm now getting a "Tar header contained an invalid file size" error. Unless I misunderstand, there is only one file. They are not different for Heimdall or Odin. It doesn't matter where I look I get the same file. I was hoping to not do it the hard way. That entails extracting the zip and flashing the AP, BL, etc. individually.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Thanks for the updates
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FernBch:
Ha! I installed a python script that checks for updates at Samfirm. Unfortunately there is nothing for the SM-S908U1.....
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FernBch:
And I can run it in Termux on the S22U
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FernBch:
Refresh my memory question.

It's been 10+ years since using Odin. To flash in Odin don't you just go to the Flash and nav to the desired PIT file and start? I can get the PIT file by extracting the contents of CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Damn this was nostalgic to read. The good old days.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] warriorvibhu:
Things have come a long way since then. You don't need to touch Pit anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FernBch:
Yes, but Heimdall hasn't. I can't find anything newer than 2015.....

May not be able to use Linux as I hoped. If Heimdall is dead that means I need a Windows PC. I hate windows......
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mr. Orange 645:
Wanted to toss out some info, in case anyone questioned. For a few years now, my only laptop was my department-issued laptop. I hate using my work computer for anything personal, so I snagged a Surface Pro 7 (i5 processor). I was 90% sure it would work with Frija and ODIN, since its a full Windows machine, but wasn't 100%. Didn't know if there were any differences in the processors for the tablet that would affect it. I knew the Surface Pro X wouldn't work with its ARM architecture.

I can report 100% ODIN and Frija both work beautifully to download and flash Sammy firmware on the Surface Pro with the Core processors. So if you're in the market for a Windows machine and want to be able to flash firmware, the SP works a treat.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
When I checked my 22ultra with phone information app it says it's refurbished. Anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] KOLIOSIS:
Yeah, mine says the same, checked w/this app:

Phone INFO+ (SAM) - Apps on Google Play

All-in-one INFO and TOOLS for Samsung devices.

play.google.com

I thought it might have had something to do w/flashing US unlocked firmware on a carrier model (T-Mobile US), but, I also have my Note20 Ultra flashed & it shows as a new phone, so, that's definitely not the issue.

I used another app (can't remember which one) & it said the S/N didn't match w/the phone....

Just to CMA, I'm calling T-Mobile to report it.... Not that I'm worried about it ATM, but, just in case any future RMAs are needed.....
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Its just weird. I have done nothing to the device but its showing refurbished and invalid serial number. Same app I used
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Thanks for input👍
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
If I want to do a complete wipe do I just flash the CSC file or USERDATA too?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
I dont see any mirrors to download for the Carrier version. S22U. The S908U version not showing any mirrors.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
Nevermind found the link.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
No, flash all of them except the HOME_CSC
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
I just flashed four out of the six. Did not flash USERDATA. Dont think I needed it. Correct me if I am wrong phone is working fine so far. Doing a bar bones test without installing any of my apps. Just using whats preinstalled. I have been getting horrible battery life and could not firgure it out. So far barebones the phone is cool and not draining the battery. It must be some apps I have installed. Just need to firgure out which one.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Let us know what you find. I'm curious too, I'm not getting horrible battery life, but my N20U was better for sure
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
Sure will. So far the phone is very fast and smooth and battery life is as it should. Will run it a couple of days to know for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] warriorvibhu:
Yeah I'm unable to get myself around to use s22 ultra still using N20U1
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Mine is gone, traded it in. I suspect we're dealing with "First Launch Blues" issues, they'll all get sorted out as the firmware gets updated
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
FINALLY!!! My Feb 10 Samsung placed preorder shows as processing.. so hopefully it won't take another month for them to charge my card and ship my preorder.

Anyone face any issues coming from a t-mobile N20 Ultra e-sim and transferring to the S22 Ultra e-sim? I plan on using the t-mobile suugested method below...

Are u guys using the snapdragon version? I have a snapdragon att 512gb.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
I have the SD, 512 U1
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
Ok great nice to know that I was not the only one with Snapdragon that had battery issues. With all by apps installed I would eat through the entire battery in 6 hrs with 1 hr of screen time.

Currently at 85 percent with 1 hr of screen time. So obviously it has to do with some of my apps just need to firgure out what.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jobudden:
Yea you're not alone. I'm having to charge at like 6pm day and I'll be at 60-70% by the time I go to bed
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
I'm at 57% with 1hr 46min SOT, since last charge
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
This is definitely some type of app optimization issue. Currently the phone is working great with one app I added. Tesla app. It's cool and wireless changing is not heating up anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
After I get to full charge, I want to turn off the adaptive display and keep it stuck on 60hz, see if that does anything at all. I already moved off 4k resolution
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FernBch:
I must be the oddball here. My best so far is down to 35% battery remaining with 13.5 hrs off the charge and 6+ hours of SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DJLAXL:
I sent my ATT 512 S22U back and have another one arriving tomorrow. The screen had some issues...One issue I was having when I tried to flash the U1 was that it got stuck on DSP. It'd show connected, run a few things then just stop at DSP. I'm thinking its because I can't install the separate Samsung usb drivers? I only have my work PC that is pretty locked down. Does anyone have instructions on how to use a Mac?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jobudden:
My screen time was 4 hours and 15 minutes and had 22% battery left. But I know one app that is murdering my battery lol

It's called tiktok 🤣🤣

Glad its not me alone. I even did a factory reset and its still the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jobudden:
I'm glad you said this cause I was contemplating a reset to see if it would help. Did you restore again or start fresh?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] readymarc:
When i intially set up my device, i did not restore. All apps were installed fresh. Made a back up and only restored messages.

Saw someone post about battery getting better 2nd week in. So i am hoping it changes. But to factory reset again is a pain, so i rather wait to see if the next update which is due anytime now helps the situation
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FernBch:
For me, battery life was crap out of the box. I did the usual. Backed up old device, setup new device, and restored backed up data. Didn't matter which backup/restore method I used, battery life was terrible. Finally I factory reset and started fresh only I didn't restore a backup. I set the device up, logged into my Google account and only restored my contacts. All the apps were installed fresh from G-play or the Galaxy store. Big improvement after doing that. Yeah, we can back everything up but it doesn't mean we can restore from it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FernBch:
Oh, the other thing I did was uninstall or disable all the carriers bloat. Verizon still puts crap on.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] komugi:
I bought my T-Mobile version from Samsung.com -- and I am waiting for them to do a SIM Unlock for me -- Can I flash to Unlocked version first or should I until they finish the SIM Unlock?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Flashing won't do anything regarding the SIM unlock
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] komugi:
I know, I'm just wondering if I should stick to the T-Mobile firmware until the Customer Service unlocks the device for me, or does it not matter which firmware it's on
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
So far here's battery life
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] cmexec:
I have a completely different experience. 1 week in from setting up my carrier unlocked 512 GB S22 Ultra. With 47% remaining since last full charge I've had more than 5 1/2 hours SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
It wont matter, the unlock is done from the carriers end
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Yeah, not my experience
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] iBowToAndroid:
It does matter because so far, T-Mo's Permanent Unlock function has not been present in the Settings on U1 firmware. So you would need to be on U firmware in order to apply the unlock, once they make it eligible (unless they've now added that function to U1)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] southern87:

ok downloading it now. The only reason even wanting this is to fix the RCS issue. Do I do AP, BL, CP, CSC and even Userdata? Im wanting to wipe it all clean

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
User data isn't needed for unlocked firmware. I don't think it's actually included lol and I'm not sure what rcs issue your having?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] D.W.H:
AT&T forces users to use their RCS servers for Google Messages and it doesn't work with everyone like the original Jibe servers does. AT&T hasn't offered any legitimate fix or timeline for a fix. It is ridiculous. Also, I noticed that encryption on their servers is non-existent.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] D.W.H:
The package should have 5 files. Flash everything but HOME_CSC and you'll be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] longshot21771:
I download the file that Im supped to

I downloaded the files from where you said and its giving me this in ODIN "

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] D.W.H:
Try downloading the version in this forum. Either the Odin version on post 2 or 3.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] D.W.H:
Or better yet... Go to the first comment on THIS forum that you're commenting on and follow the instructions and download the files here... The package you downloaded should have 5 files. Don't flash HOME_CSC but everything else. Download the ODIN from THIS forum (it works) and flash it. The files here work if you read the instructions.

Exactly if your going to unlocked you only flash 4 if your going to carrier branded you flash 5
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] D.W.H:
Well, this is it. The U1 firmware I linked is the version I flashed and it fixes that. No AT&T garbage either.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
I tried to use that one last night and got stuck at getting connection. It was froze there for like 10 minutes and errored out. So I went to patch 3.14.1 3B and it worked flawlessly first try. I was just letting them know which I used
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
My phone is a carrier locked att. I flashed the unlocked firmware and then went back to carrier firmware. Both times flashed 4 files without userdata.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
Yeah if you do that you loose out on the att bloat and goodies. And most likely won't get Ota updates. Userdata carries the carrier configuration and stuff like that. I did the same last year with att. And wondered why I wasn't getting Ota updates lmao
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
I still got all the bloatware. Wifi calling and visual voicemail all work. Got a bunch of att bloat along with bunch of unwanted games.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
I think I know why. When you flash unlocked firmware it doesn't use the userdata partition so no need to erase it. And when you flash back the original firmware it reuses it. So that makes sense to me lpl
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] D.W.H:
I haven't flashed the U firmware to my phone, but I did download it. The U firmware does have the userdata file, but the U1 doesn't. But I don't know what other issues you guys have but I don't really care about OTA updates. Lol

Now my RCS in Android Messages is working and now have SM-S908U1. Thanks to everyone that helped!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Added a link to Odin 3.14.4 patched to posts 2 and 3
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] crispy1805:
To all on ATT who are doing the flashing --- PLEASE check your cables. I had a freeze on Odin and it was just my cable.

I performed a "dirty flash" to U1 and its been two days. Can confirm that RCS with Jibe does now work. I also had the "connecting..." issue. I just cleared the cache on Messages again and that resolved itself.

Messages is now also consuming less battery and the battery life on my phone has continued to increase. I usually clear the Dalvik Caches after firmware updates, but I did not this time and there hasnt been an issue.

ATT just confirmed changing the firmware works... I dont think they know that they are essentially telling people to flash their phones to fix the RCS issue they created:

"We really appreciate you for sharing your troubleshooting tip with the Community, RCSdoesnotwork!

We're glad you were able to change your firmware version and get back to interacting with your friends! We will share your suggestion with other customers experiencing the same situation. Don't forget to return if you come across challenges in the future!

Maybe its your computer then. I had an issue like that back in the days of routine ODIN flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
Just wanted to report that flashing the U1 firmware containing VZW CSC on the Verizon variant worked great with a full wipe. Yes, you must activate the SIM card on Verizon firmware first. This eliminates the Verizon boot animation, all Verizon bloatware, and should enable smart call. Yes it does have the proper 5G UW icon and data speeds are just as good as VZW U firmware.

Someone raised a concern about unlocking the phone after 60 days. It looks like you need to be on carrier firmware to unlock. U1 firmware doesn’t have the framework.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Devhux:
Am I assuming the patched U1 firmware won't allow updating from the Software Update screen,or did I do something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DLD23:
Where is att or any carrier userdata file for U? Not in zip file

Cannot flash from u1 to u without it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:

Where did you download your firmware from? I saw that earlier you said "patched U1 firmware" but it is only official firmware that has been discussed. If you downloaded unofficial firmware and it's giving you issues, then I don't know what to tell you. I installed the U1 from this forum thread and Samsung Pay works perfectly.
