I was in that same position. The seller didn't pay their bill and sold the phone to get out from under it and the buyer is stuck. Att will only acknowledge the original buyer account information (which I didn't have and couldn't get from the seller) Att held me hostage (or this phone) saying they can only deal with the account holder. So I paid a third party to (network unlock my phone)

It took 5 days but then I could use different carriers just fine. However Att still had control of updates through the imei (not blacklisted) but in their server as their phone and software. So, maybe, just maybe, if I put it on their network I would get updates but I don't like being hamstrung. So I flashed the firmware and got a year of overdue updates in 4 hours.

I refused to push my problem off on somebody else but I also know Att still owns this ime so I'm just making it usable for now but it will certainly be a trade in for an s23u in the coming months.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jobudden:
So looking at everyone's impressions of the s23 Ultra.

I think its android 5.1 that has toned down the battery usage and not the processor.

Since my s22 ultra received the update. I'm seeing outstanding battery life. And considering both phones have the same battery. That's how I've come to this conclusion. I'm still on the fence about getting it. Simply because I've honestly gotten tired of having to pay 1400-1600$ every year on 2 new phones lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ferolo:
Do you know any proven site to unlock it, I paid one movie hundred bucks and only after reading their opinion I think that nothing will come of it and the money will be lost and I wouldn't want to cut myself on crooks again.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bassman418:
I only paid 399 for 512gb model. was well worth the upgrade for me. and allowed my son to get my old S22 ultra as his new upgrade
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dssturk:
I would recommend the unlocking company.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dssturk:
They say 0 to 24 hours but that's under normal circumstances however we are not normal circumstances because monies are still owed to the carrier. So they will get back to you letting you know that they have to run a deeper process and it will be about another $50, and take up to 5 days. Money back guarantee!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
LORDY, still showin off I see

:ROFLMAO:
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jobudden:
Yea everyone in my house has an s22 ultra lol. And cheapest I've been able to find for myself is 700$ with a trade in
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lyall29:
Was Knox tripped on your S22 Ultra? I'm thinking about trading my S22 Ultra in, but i'm a little worried that they won't accept it because knox is tripped.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Can't trip Knox when you odin official firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
You can try and just don't tell them , most likely they won't check that.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jobudden:
Man abandoned chat. Guess I'm gonna have to get an s23 just to talk to yall again
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jobudden:
Who here can help me root an galaxy tab a7 lite?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Now this thread is spicy 🔥
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jobudden:
I've NEVER rooted a device. and i ordered a that tablet to go into my truck. its going to have a molded mount in my center console. it will run my music my interior lights and read obd2 data. but i plan to use an app called tasker so that it will do things like launch apps automatically and close them automatically. only it works best on rooted decices lol

also all the how to's seem to have me chasing files that are not there. figured someone had done it and has the files on hand.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Does it have Oem unlock toggle? If so you can create a boot.img.tar from AP file and patch with Magisk
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jobudden:
lol not sure how do i know if it does or not?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Put in download mode. It will say bootloader can be unlocked by holding volume down or something like that once in download mode
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jobudden:
Ok I'll find out when I get back from the movies
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jobudden:
i dont see an oem unlock option. its just like my phone in the download menu. this is an lte device so its just like a phone. ive seen a couple threads saying it can be done. but there is a high chance of bricking it.

its the T227u version
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Then I'm not sure. Usually the bootloader needs to be unlocked. On my old galaxy tab A I had the unlock bootloader option
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jobudden:
yea thats what i was seeing. the tutorial i saw said it was in developers settings also but i didnt see it there either
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] EdvinMN10:
Hello everyone, I have a problem and I would like to know if you can help me. I bought an s22 ultra on ebay that indicated that it was "unlocked" since I wanted to use it outside the US, and although my country's network works for me to call, and all the functions of the SIM, it seems that I cannot receive the updates via OTA because I'm not in the US, I think it's because of the Verizon firmware that the phone has, is there any way to remove this firmware and install an unlocked one? I leave you the model of my phone S908USQS2BVL4. Thank you very much in advance for the help
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Yup all in OPS go to unlocked Firmware and use latest, it's all in OPS post 3
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Delete
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] EdvinMN10:
Thanks for answering, excuse my ignorance, I've been away from this world of phone modification for a long time. What is OPS?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Ops is main post but your unlocked Firmware is in post 3
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] EdvinMN10:
I'm looking at post 3 but I don't see that there is any firmware compatible with SQ only with EU
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
AVI5
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Need to use the Odin patched
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Odin 3 patched https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=2981970449027563579
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] EdvinMN10:
Thanks for the help, I'll do it and I'll always tell you 😁
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
You should be getting some OTA once you go to unlocked Firmware, let me know if you start getting OTA as soon as you odin unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] EdvinMN10:
by saying "odin unlocked" you mean when I installed the unlocked Firmware S908U1UES2AVI5
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] EdvinMN10:
The S908U1UES2AVI5 firmware link downloads a corrupted file, look for the firmware in SamFW and I am downloading it now
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Then you should download latest S908U1UES2CWB7 March Patch

​
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] EdvinMN10:
this? https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-S908U1/CHA/S908U1UES2CWB7
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] EdvinMN10:
sorry for so many questions i just want to make sure i get it right. In SamFW I am downloading the CSC firmware: is CHA ok or does it have to be another? I think I have understood that this is from an operator
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
All you need to do is put the tar files and on CSC you put in Home_CSC not CSC , that will not wipe your data, you then should get OTA straight from Samsung not your carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] NullN:
No update :< can any1 help me?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] louisnamu:
you should download U1 firmware and use Odin 3 PatcheD to flash into U1 firmware instead of U firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] slider112:
March security patch released for locked AT&T. Just checked and pulled it manually. CWB7.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
I just updated but I didn't look at how big the size of the update was, do you know how much it was in terms of mb?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] slider112:
In the 300-400mb range, if I remember correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Thank you sir.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] eastsidebiz:
Can I still use one of the links if im currently on:

S908USQS2CWB7?

GS22U on Verizon, with 3/2023 update, trying to flash to UNLOCKED version.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jobudden:
i know its off topic but, Does anyone have experience with the Galaxy tab s5e? that forum is dead and im stuck lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
As you can see, this forum is also dead sir.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kangi26:
Seems to be REALLY quite now-a-days.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
I check here often. Venom has been helping a little
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Probably because a lot of people upgraded to the S23 Ultra lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pushkar0501:
My problem is almost same....i am using an US variant s22 ultra in india running on U firmware and it does not show ota updates....i have downloaded xaa based U firmware and flashed ir using odin.....

Is there any permanent solution to get regular ota updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] readymarc:
You wont be able to using U firmware. You will need to flash U1 firmware to receive updates outside the US.

You will need patched ODIN when updating. There is full guide on this forum on how to.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] readymarc:
Facts. also there are little to no problems lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pushkar0501:
Thanks 👍
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
I'm good with my S22 Ultra, no need to switch 👌
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Haven't been here for awhile. Has there been any updates for locked version? Haven't had mine on for awhile.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
My locked t-mobile U version is still on the march update. I'm guessing you moved on to the S23 Ultra and forgot all about us boring people here huh? 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Lol, didn't forget. I'm just a tech need with so many devices, I bounce around a lot. Help JrKruse out with Note8 and S8 stuff. But yes I am on S23 now but still have the S22
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Anybody get an update?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] slider112:
Unfortunately nothing yet on locked AT&T
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
'Just checked after I saw your above post and I'm now downloading the April update. I'm on t-mobile on an unlocked U device.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] slider112:
And just like that, the April update on locked AT&T has arrived. Downloading now, 1762.40MB.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bigron77:
Thanks, had to do the date trick to get it to download!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] slider112:
No prob. I used to do the date thing as well, but have since switched to inputting the dialer code to trigger it: *#8736364#, then first option at the top for system update.

Doesn't mess with other apps the way the date change sometimes can. Just FYI.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
Still waiting on Verizon. Normally Verizon pushes out the update about a week or so before the U1 version.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bassman418:
My son's Verizon variant S22 ultra running U1 firmware got the April update a few days ago
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
The code no longer works on my locked AT&T device so I had to change my date to Sept. 1, 2023 and got the U2CWCE update.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] slider112:
Strange, still worked for me on this latest update. Either way, glad we have options to force things since carrier rollouts are usually sooooo sloooooooooow... :LOL:
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Didn't notice anything different in this update except Smart View being replaced by something else "set the mood with smart devices" and it crashes when I try to use it. Can't mirror my phone to TV anymore, even though I rarely ever did that.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
My daughter's S22 (U1 variant on Verizon) got updated last week. The U1 models are the US non-carrier variants (aka SIM unlocked). The U models are the carrier variants. My S22 Ultra is the Verizon US variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
U1 doesn't mean sim unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bassman418:
My phones are Verizon carrier models (U). I choose to flash U1 on them. So they are U models running the U1 firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
How did you do that without unlocking the bootlocker and rooting?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Unlocked Firmware is not bootloader unlocked at all or no root as well, it's just less bloatware on Unlocked Firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
As you can see on my S23 Ultra is a AT&T Carrier phone bootloader is locked, but i flashed unlocked Firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
As you can see on my S23 Ultra is a AT&T Carrier phone, but i flashed unlocked Firmware and bootloader is locked
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
a) This is the S22 Ultra we are talking about

b) I know the difference between the bootloader and OS/firmware

b) How do you install the U1 OS/firmware on a U model without unlocking the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Use Odin. You do not need root or unlocked bootloader to flash U1 firmware on a U device
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Download the firmware from Samfw, extract it, then use Odin to flash to your device
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
Thanks. I'm still on the fence though. If I switch to the U1, I will lose some of Verizon services, for example Verizon Call Filter.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
My opinion., U1 offered me nothing over U firmware. If I wanted to disable bloat, I just used AdbAppControl to do that. I could care less about boot sound or animation as you only have to deal with it until your device boots. But again just my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
True. I really don't care if I see the Verizon logo when it boots. I do like some of Verizon's apps though. Like Call Filter and My Verizon Apps. I actually use them. The only reason my daughter has the U1 version, is because Verizon didn't have the color she wanted.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bassman418:
You can still install them if wanted.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Justinphxaz:
Verizon S22 carrier locked variants receiving the April 23 security patch OTA now. The image clipper feature has been included in this build as well. 🍻
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
They don't all work on the U1 model. I know this because daughter has the U1 and Verizon Call Filter and My Verizon don't work on her phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
Looks like Verizon pushed out the update.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bigron77:
Just OTA the 2nd April security patch on ATT
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] slider112:
Same, said it was a "critical update", whatever that means. ATT rarely, if ever, provides notes on updates, so that caught my eye. Not sure why really, as the previous version was running fine for me, as is this new update. Either way, all good (y)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
It was critical to add a lowercase "a" at the end of the build number. Gotta spice it up.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] slider112:
So, here's something interesting... Just checked for an update again, since it's now May, thinking perhaps the latest monthly security patch was available, and it downloaded another update... I'm thinking, wow, Samsung is on it with the May patch... nope, reverting BACK to CWCE, from CWCEa... Ok.... run through, power back up, all is well. Check for update again, you know, just for fun, and yup... another one... CWCE to CWCEa. Again. Never seen anything like this before, but apparently there is an endless loop between the two builds right now. All is well on CWCEa, and I'm done checking for now. AT&T is drunk. :LOL:
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bassman418:
Is that 2nd update a carrier thing? I've never seen a lowercase letter added like that, normally if there was a revision, it would be reflected by that date in a newer firmware revision. even as little as CWCF . Has any other carriers posted this revision?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] slider112:
I believe it is carrier specific, yes. Only AT&T for now, that I know of. I've seen multiple monthly patches pushed before from carriers across the board, but never one with a lower case letter at the end. Who knows...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Damn...I just at the gym was trying to play vanced and couldn't get it to work. Something about needing to update to the latest version of youtube...

I guess Google finally broke it huh? Can anyone quickly verify this is the case for them as well?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Try YouTube ReVanced
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bassman418:
Noticed mine stopped working this weekend. Tried everything and can't get it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
My locked At&t just updated to AWC9..May security
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Oops, sorry wrong device
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
This guy YouTubes.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pranto.roy:
Hello, I have the problem of not getting OTA updates on my s22 ultra (SM-S908U/DS). In the software information page it says

and my phone's whole model code is SM-S908UZKATT

and the baseband version is S908USQS2AVHJ

I need the right firmware for my phone for the manual update.

Thanks in advance. Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
You said your device is DS..dual Sim but model number is ATT? That's not possible as AT&t doesn't have a dual sim
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
I see GCF...Global Certification Fourm. What sim do you have?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pranto.roy:
as I live in Bangladesh I'm currently using local operators Teletalk (physical sim) and GrameenPhone (eSim)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pranto.roy:
I seriously have no idea about that. I used an app named Phone info which is showing my product code as: sm-s908uzkaatt.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] V0latyle:
Pardon the ignorant question, I haven't been involved with Samsung for years.

Is the S908U and U1 firmware interchangeable?

I assume flashing U1 firmware on a U won't carrier unlock or otherwise allow using the device on a different network?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Maxninja:
- Correct. You can swap U1 > U or U > U1 firmware. It will just load in the bloatware if you do the carrier firmware.

-- Negative, Ghost Rider. You're referring to sim unlock which is TOTALLY DIFFERENT than what's being discussed.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] V0latyle:
Copy, thanks.

Out of curiosity, what sort of unlock IS being discussed here?

Are carrier specific variants generally SIM/carrier unlockable upon request from the original lienholder?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
I'm on At&t. Device has to paid off before they will sim unlock your device, not sure about others carriers
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Maxninja:
- If you're asking what was being discussed prior to your comment, it was about a guy posting a model name that sounds like it's an ATT model but it isn't.

-- Uh.. of you want to be pedantic about it, sure. ATT (or insert your carrier here) is the lienholder if you're paying a balance to own the device. If you want it unlocked, ATT will give you the sim unlock but here's the criteria from ATT site:

"

Is an AT&T phone or device and isn't active on another AT&T account.

Has a paid-off installment plan:

Paid through your monthly bill: Submit your unlock request at the start of your next bill period.

Paid off early: The wireless number assigned to the device must be active for at least 60 days. Wait 48 hours after you make your final payment to submit your unlock request.

Was paid in full when you bought it (it was not purchased on an installment plan). You must wait 60 days from your purchase date to submit an unlock request.

Hasn't been reported as lost, stolen, or involved with fraud and doesn't have a past-due account balance. (Make a payment to bring your account current. It may take up to 24 hours to post.)

Is an AT&T Prepaid® phone with a Prepaid SIM and six months of service on the AT&T network. You must submit your unlock request using the most recent version of the AT&T Device Unlock app."

If you don't have ATT, go to your carriers website and do your due diligence and research into your carrier's policies 😀
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] V0latyle:
I wasn't referring to previous discussion, my question is not in reference to anything prior. I wasn't sure what you meant by "what's being discussed"

Right, just confirming what I thought I already knew. Carrier/SIM unlock is at carrier's discretion, subject to their own requirements. Firmware won't change this, probably because of IMEI whitelist. If IMEI not blacklisted, only option to unlock outside of carrier unlock is via 3rd party service which may or may not work
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Imagine my surprise when Youtube Vanced started working out of the blue yesterday... All I did was clear the cache when I had the issue last week which didn't really do anything so I had it just sitting there until I could get some time to look into ReVanced.

I'll take it for now :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bassman418:
Just checked and mine is working again
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Sigh...and just like that mine stopped working yesterday once again.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Can someone let me know what build locked At&t is on?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
S908USQU2CWCE - April Patch
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Justinphxaz:
Verizon's May security update for locked S22 variants should start rolling out OTA today, build CWE1.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Anybody get May security on locked devices
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Yeah just got CWE1 on locked AT&T S22U.

It's funny because I just hit "Software Update" and it started downloading, which is weird because I usually have to set the date to 2054 or something like that lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Lol 2054
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jobudden:
I just loaded the latest in this thread and got an update.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Thanks guys. S22 and 22+ updates kicked in
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bassman418:
Actually if you go too far out your phone won't work correctly. I was screwing around with the date and I changed it to 2044 and everything google stopped working and my phone would not connect to my router. My phone kept telling me no network available. I took some pics and sent text and emails, and they all automatically stay at very top after I returned my date back to normal. Even after taking new pics and getting new text messages, they would be very first and say "just now" as time stamp. Funny ****. I eventually had to delete them because it became annoying. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
I received the t-mobile U locked version May update about a week ago as well..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Lol I was kidding, never set it that far, just a few weeks or months ahead.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Chvalov:
Everyone has problems with passing the "Play Integrity" check after the May update?

Google wallet doesn't work and can't install Netflix from play store :(

Several people on 4pda actively have this problem, maybe the problem is in the update for the EU market
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Anyone in the south west having issues with the S22 Ultra overheating when mounted to the dashboard on a stand inside a car? I've had this issue since the beginning of summer here in Vegas and when this occurs the phone will automatically shutdown in order to cool off and is inoperable for a while after that.

I'm guessing this is the by product of the inefficient chip in the S22 Ultra that runs warmer since I never had this issue with my prior Note 20 Ultra. It's barely may out here so the hot dry weather has yet to hit its peak. Only workaround I'm utilizing right now is flipping one of the a.c vents upwards in the direction of the phone and that seems to somehow keep the overheating tolerable enough that it doesn't shut down completely..
