I'm guessing that people who are getting the Software Update errors either used the HOME_CSC (no wipe) or flashed only certain parts of the firmware. Going to Sammobile and finding the U1 firmware with the CSC that corresponds to your carrier and flashing all parts with the patched ODIN works great.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Again, grabbing a CSC "that corresponds to a carrier" does actually mean or do anything. The U1/U firmware are all carrier agnostic. (In the sense that you're referring to at least)

Anyone on a 908U or U1 device can flash ANY of the firmware that will be posted here (Only have 2 out right now :ROFLMAO: )

MOST issues with flashing usually have to do with folks using an unpatched Odin, or not adding all/enough items in Odin to flash (To your point). Although I have seen adding them in the incorrect slots, but that doesn't happen too often.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
After what seemed like an eternity, my 256gb t-mobile S22 Ultra that I ordered from Samsung on Feb 10 is finally here. Currently running diagnostics (*#0*#) and everything looks good so far. It does run a bit warm compared to my N20 Ultra though..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] crispy1805:
It runs warm for the first couple of days.

I see that people turn off adaptive battery. Does it actually make battery life better? U1 has been better for battery than the carrier firmware and I am ending the day with 30% or so. But I am not seeing 5+ hours of SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] warriorvibhu:
Bringing this thread back to front page.

For the record. My S22 Ultra is all set up but still sitting in box can't get myself to use it Note 20 Ultra is that good. :). Dj24 you too are coming over to S22 Ultra welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Wow sorry to hear that , my AT&T S22 Ultra 5G 512GB has no lag at all if anything it's a bit faster then my AT&T Note20 Ultra 5G 512GB Snapdragon.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
If the Note 20 is that good, why didnt you return the S22U? You had 15 days to evaluate it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jobudden:
Same but my battery drain is something serious. Don't even last a full day lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bassman418:
Has anyone gotten an update on our phones yet? I got mine on 2/22 and haven't received one yet, even though I'm seeing people post about have gotten the March update already. I keep checking, but nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jobudden:
Haven't gotten one on Verizon yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
Gotta pay attention too what region is getting the update. As of right now us and Canada have not gotten any updates. While everyone else has.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Haha... Yes I was feeling pretty nostalgic myself when I handed over my N20 Ultra to Fedex yesterday. Except for the un-Venom like battery life I was getting- everything else about it was flawless. After transferring over everything to the S22 Ultra I couldn't help noticing the good and bad. The good being the fact that everything looks and feels the same as my N20 ultra performance wise with signs of slightly better SOT and overall battery life (still too early to tell). On the other hand I was asking why I had to give up the N20 Ultra for a minor iteration of the same device to begin with when it's been there for me through thick and thin..

I now understand why people are going for a different experience like the galaxy folds. In all honesty, flagship smartphones are nowadays almost on an overall equal pedestal with slight variations here and there where one does something a bit better here and less there. The fact that Android handsets are turning more and more into Apple in the hardware category is even worse IMHO. Taking away our beloved SD Cards, IR blasters, headphone jacks etc and lastly getting smoked in the battery dept with the likes of the iPhone 13 pro and pro max on top of it is even worse.

I honestly had one foot out the door and was pretty much set on the iPhone 13 pro max joining the ios universe (very reluctantly I might add since I truly dislike Apple in general) when Samsung decided to offer their even more than usual incredible trade-in upgrade deals. I bit and now I'm here ☺️

I just have to get creative and give the newbie S22 Ultra a new identity...give it a complete makeover with new wallpapers, colors, themes, Icons and mess around with new widgets and I'm sure I'll start appreciating and seeing it in its own light. In fact I insist that you and everyone here coming from the N20 Ultra do the same which will help define it as it's own true self.

It could be worse...Just imagine if it was cousin Exynos that was gracing us with it's presence here in N. America instead 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] strongsteve:
I installed the T-Mobile unlock app, ran it, got unlocked, and un-installed it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jobudden:
Yea having the latest for around 350$ was a good selling point for me lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] komugi:
Thanks, I actually just dirty flashed to T-Mobile firmware, got an unlock and then reflashed. But ty for the info -- I thought that unlock app was Pixel only?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
Almost exactly same for me but I had the S20U not the Note. Wasn't even gonna get a new phone either. But then I saw I could get a U.S. 512 gb unlocked from Samsung for $700 including tax and that sold me. Happy so far. 😎
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bassman418:
I traded my wife's old S10+in to Verizon and got $1000 off my S22 ultra. Plus after the 100 credit and 70 "Verizon Up" dollars I accumulated I only paid $229 for my 512GB S22 Ultra. Gave my son my Note 20 Ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
I keep getting server error issues and to try later. Tried both cellular and wifi. Did you guys both purchase your t-mobile variant like I did directly from Samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] komugi:
Yeah, since T-Mobile variant offered a better trade-in value for my Note 20 Ultra on the Samsung site -- I think otherwise you'll need to wait for 45 days on T-Mobile until they're willing to unlock
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Same here. I don't think that app works correctly to unlock non Pixel phones. I just got a notification that it did permanently unlock it and to reboot the phone for it to go into effect. I did just that but to confirm I went into settings- connections- more connections settings and checked network unlock there and no dice. My phone is still locked.

Can you check yours?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] komugi:
I didn't use the app, I contacted T-Mobile Help on twitter and had them unlock it. It took about 5 days. I had the T-Mobile firmware in the meantime. And it said unlocked before I flashed to the unlocked firmware. I just tested it with AT&T Simcard, and it accepted it fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Gotcha... I guess my question goes to @strongsteve instead then.. Hope the unlock app did really work for him..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ltmikepowell:
So having switch from my N20U unlocked with TMB firmware to S22U unlocked, I am impressed with the phone, less overheat, better screen, and eSIM out of the box (so no need to run TMB firmware on it anymore).

Although it is halfway of March and there has been no new firmware for Snapdragon version yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] warriorvibhu:
This is what I call a dumb a question when you don't have enough info.

For starters

1. I am not using S22 coz Note 20 is that good.

2. Who told you I am complaining that you had to jump in and poke your nose. I can buy S22 and keep it and never use it that's my problem.

3. This is a little logical point so if you have dumb hat on stop reading...

I got S22 Ultra after trading in my Note 8.. Yes Note 8 from 2017 and got 800 USD for it. Note 20 Ultra will hold good value for next year trade in too but note 8 will probably be of 30$ value in another year, so now I have one very recent and one fairly recent and next trade in I will get good value besides that I can easily share my Note 20 Ultra with family esp my mom ( she is using Note 8) when I start using S22 Ultra.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
Yeah I been wondering about that too. Patiently waiting and i'm still on the January Security Patch. I have the Unlocked U.S. version so will probably be last on earth to get it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Has anyone else had the same issue as a couple of us here when checking the S22 Ultra with any phone information app it comes back that the serial number doesn't match the manufacturer date?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
How in God's name did you wring out $800 for a Note 8?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
If you are At&t it was $800 bill credit over a period of time on installments with trade in of any smart phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] warriorvibhu:
To be honest T-Mobile had something going where if you change your plan to their top plan Magenta Max you get 800 back for Note 8. Surprisingly att was offering 1000 if you sign up for a new line with them. I stayed away from att knowing all the hidden costs they have.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Lol you were wise to stay away from At&t..lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] je2854:
yay! To finally have a carrier device (VZW) unbranded to unlocked/international status.

Thanks for this.

I flashed my VZW S21 Ultra to unlocked U1 version and it actually ran smoother.....
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bobimbap:
Can anyone answer?

I have a Korean variant (SM-S908N) with an unlocked bootloader.

1. Can I flash this file [S908U1UEU1AVA6] to turn my S908N to S908U1?

2. I use AT&T, does anyone have a CSC file for AT&T?

3. What would a patched Odin do compare to normal Odin?

Thank you very much for answering these questions!!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jerrycoffman45:
no, yes, and possibly brick your device
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Regarding the AT&T CSC, I don't have access to one "specific" for AT&T. They don't release their firmware.

Using a UnPatched Odin won't brick (That's actually pretty hard to do now-a-days) You'll likely just get a failure to flash.

And you're spot on, you can not flash the U1 firmware on a non-U or U1 device
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jerrycoffman45:
@kangi26

you can find the att firmware here https://xdaforums.com/t/at-t-userdata-file-request.4414223/page-2#post-86582661 and i stand corrected on the patched odin i thought the patched version let you flash any firmware to any model
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
Yeah sadly you have to know where to look for att firmware. I provided the latest one available in the post above. Also love the profile pic. Born and raised in KY lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bobimbap:
Thank you everyone for your answers. I guess I will just root the device and delete all the bloatwares. I had a hope that I can flash the international rom to get rid of Korean bloatwares and use AT&T network to it's full capabilities.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Holy crap...Jeff where you been? Nice to see you back.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jerrycoffman45:
I have been here and there not that active on here since root isn't really a option but I still lurk in the background good to hear from you
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CrazyKat8091:
Hi, I have S22 Ultra TMO Locked version with all the data and completed setup. Is it possible to dirty flash to U1 firmware without resetup everything again? Currently, I'm using an eSim instead of normal sim card. Is there any issue with it? And it would be nice if anyone can guide me what should I flash or not to flash. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
If you're currently on the U version, and are trying to go to U1. I don't believe you can do it (At least that's how it was on the N20U). If I remember correctly it'll fail without flashing all of the files because the installer thinks it's being installed on a "different" device.

If I'm wrong, some one please tell me
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hayabusa1300cc:
Butchieboy, venom0642, kanji26 few familiar 'faces' over the years we gotta stop meeting like this lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Busa...whats going on my friend? Yeah we all been at it for awhile as have many others here. Finally getting rid of quite a few of my old devices gearing up for S22 Ultra..no need to have so many anymore. I'm sure we will all be on here quite a bit in the weeks to come. I feel kinda sad though...Venom hasn't beat me down not one time for quite awhile...🤣🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hayabusa1300cc:
Doing all right my friend. Man been in the Samsung camp since I switched from HTC Evo to the Epic. Man I miss the times where we actually flashed custom roms and our phones would lock up and wouldn't work half the time lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Pop the battery out and boom..lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Venom Kangi...hope we don't need EDL to flash anything on S22 Ultra. JRkruse probably knows
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Awsome...my order now says backorder. Ordered on 10th..black 256gb...wtf
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
We're the "old" die hard folks ;)

(I use "old" figuratively :ROFLMAO: )
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Lol...now Samsung saying late March or April for the Black S22 ultra order placed on 10th
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] NotATreoFan:
Good news: My S22 Ultra comes on Monday

Bad News: Looks like I'll have to run it on T-Mobile firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Yay

Barf
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] NotATreoFan:
Well, it's either that or let it sit in the box until U1 firmware is available.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Oh I could NEVER do that, I have ZERO patience...........
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JonSCSL:
I am in same boat. I ordered mine at 7am on the 10th and immediately the order confirmed with the expected delivery date is March 18th. That is BS considering I know and see peeps on here that ordered the same 1TB unlocked ultra after me and received it or its shipped already.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
I feel your pain..lol peeps ordered same day as I did or after and got tracking and shipping in 2days. Yes I still crying about it🤣😂
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jobudden:
Yes. So glad I can load unlocked software as soon as I get my phone 😀 thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] NotATreoFan:
Oh I can't do that either. Which is why I'm hoping for a miracle in U1 firmware showing up by tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Unfortunately the only firmware showing up right now is for the S908B and E variants. I'll keep checking
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
I must have the worst luck. I ordered the burgundy t-mobile 256gb variant on Feb 10th with an expected delivery date for Feb 25th. I didn't get the e-mail confirmation that the order was processed until Feb 14th. Today is the 20th and there's been no movement with the cancel button still showing and the expected delivery date still unmoved from the 25th. My card has yet to be charged as well..

Maybe it's meant to be as battery life improvement is the critical reason I'm upgrading from the excellent N20 Ultra and reviews have been lukewarm on this so far. Maybe I should just cancel and keep my N20 Ultra?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
I think a lot of manufacturers are struggling with meeting demand. IMO, the new device is going to be better than the degraded performance of the N20. Just a thought
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
You're right. Not to mention that Samsung's $800 trade in offer for my N20 Ultra is more than fair. Sigh. As long as battery life is about the same or slightly better than the N20 Ultra- I'll go through with it. Actually unlike most people here, I don't mind waiting for the S22 Ultra until some of the early kinks are worked out while still using my flawless N20 Ultra in the mean time..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Wow this phone is badass , Running nice and smooth, Battery Life is also Outstanding 👌 😎 👍
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
Nice. It's unfortunate I am not experiencing the same. Just lost 50 percent battery while asleep. So sad. Snapdragon.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] netnerd:
YES, you can go from U version to U1. i just flashed my s21 U to s21 U1.

you just need to be on the same build version, example. if U build is VA6, you also need U1 VA6 build to flash.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
You lost 50% overnight? What the heck
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
That is not good at all. Can't recall which version you have what steps you've taken to try to remedy it but have you factory reset it and installed everything manually from scratch? And if so, can you also return the phone or are are you outside of the return window?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
I was thinking same thing..return it if you can.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
Yes. I uninstalled APS to see if it is that. Never was an issue on note 20 ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Wow that sucks after i charge it , 8 hrs off charger it was at 98%
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
finally lol flashed Comcast March update without userdata
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Yeah i forgot to mention i pulled it out yesterday night 1AVC8 been running it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Get ready AT&T most likely will push OTA
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Uploading the CCT/CHA to AFH now. Will have the link in post 2 later
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
That's awesome, I saw your battery life stats on a different post, do you mind sharing your settings and what you've done to the device to achieve such results?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Offffff course you have been Mr1up🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Was waiting on that lol 😆 😂 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
How are you my friend? Your always such a good sport.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Justinphxaz:
That VZW March drip for the S22 Ultra rollin out now OTA. Don't think it includes the GOS throttling fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FernBch:
On Big Red here, just got AVC8 (SP1A.210812.016.S908USQU1AVC8)

February Security Patch. At least I'm not behind. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Doing great just working my butt off lol 😆
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
These files are huge, AVC8 is rolling in at 8.6GB.

I'm starting to be afraid I'll need to go onto an Unlimited internet access plan on Xfinity soon :ROFLMAO:
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Yeah they are over 8gb theses firmware for S22 Ultra 5G
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
It does inlude the fix. Verizon is very bland when it comes to descriptions. But yes avc8 does include it. Also its march security patch.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Inside game tool GOS
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Markeee:
I'm on a Factory unlocked S22 Ultra SM-S908U1 running a Sim from Xfinity Mobile CTT and eSIM from T-mobile TMB

Can I dirty flash back and forth between the new March Carrier U AVC8 and unlocked U1 without wiping resetting and will I wind up installing a bunch of CTT bloatware ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
• By performing this software update, your device will:

- not limit CPU/GPU performance during early stages of gameplay

* maintain a performance management feature based on device temperature

- provide “Alternate game performance management mode” in Game Booster

- allow 3rd party apps to bypass Game Optimizing Service

• The stability of Camera has been improved.

• Overall stability of your device has been improved.

• The security of your device has been improved.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
Different security patches mean once you flash to march you have to factory reset if you want to go back
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Can I flash this to US Unlocked AT&T Snapdragon 512gb?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Markeee:
So as long as I flash Home CSC going from U1 to U it won't reset ?

Is there any down sides going from U1 to the U Xfinity Mobile CTT considering Xfinity Mobile is my main carrier anyways ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
You think there is a battery fix in there? Calling ATT for a replacement. Don't know if I should wait.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
CCT/CHA/VZW link is live
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] aschaffer35:
Hi All, I clicked on the link to download for TMB, but I'm getting an error saying no mirrors found?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Click on the Mirror link if you're having issues with AFH
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] aschaffer35:
I clicked on the S908USQU1AVA6 and the "Mirror" from the post and no dice. When I click on the mirror link I get taken to a page that no longer exists :(
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Justinphxaz:
😂 You'd think I'd look there first, was so excited to actually get an update on this thing....was beginning to think it wouldn't get its first update until the beginning of April. Nice, I'll have to check that out, appreciate the heads up sir 💪
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
I'll try to get a new mirror later today
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Justinphxaz:
Yeah I've always wondered why big red doesn't include the notes for updates. It seems most other carriers do, especially other countries. Appreciate the heads up sir 💪
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Can I flash S908USQU1AVC8 if I am already running on S908U1UEU1AVA6? I'm on locked AT&T device running unlocked firmware. I know I would have to do a fresh install because I'll be going from U to U1 now back to U lol, so that means patched Odin and CSC not HOME_CSC.

But I'm just wondering if it's safe to flash this firmware even though it's not for AT&T?

I know I know, I'm impatient, I can just wait for the unlocked OTA firmware update.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Justinphxaz:
Nice to see some actual notes of what's included in an update! Appreciate it sir!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
It's totally safe, BUT if AT&T uses a different build number that this one, you will NOT get OTA
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Makes sense, I'll just wait then.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] aschaffer35:
Looks like the mirror is working again from

Looks like the mirror from hyelton is working yay! I downloaded the files but noticed under the USERDATA file there is only USERDATA_XAU. I have moved from AT&T to TMobile and am looking to update my phone with the TMOBILE "brand." I put in my new SIM card and my phone did reboot but did not download the TMOBILE apps, no voicemail app, etc. Calls and texts work. Shouldn't there be a USERDATA_TMB file for the TMOBILE stuff in that file?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
The xau is tmb. No worries
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] aschaffer35:
Thanks Joe. I went ahead and did the flash. However under software information > Service Provider software version after the flash it says:

SAOMC_SM-908U_OYN_ATT_12_0023 ATT/TMB,ATT/ATT

The phone also boots up with AT&T logo still :(

My fear here is I may not get OTA's from my current carrier, which is TMobile?

As a fun test, I downloaded from SAMMOBILE the U version for Comcast and this has a USERDATA_CCT file in it. So I know there has to be a TMOBILE USERDATA_TMB file somewhere for this firmware version AVA6 right?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
So I think you need to go to u1 firmware first then boot then flash the u firmware. Make sure you flash CSC instead of Home CSC. Because a wipe is necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
Also I actually flashed back to original TMobile software 2 hours ago because I wanted stock ota. And I used the xau file and mines fully TMobile.
