[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] HyperChick:
I have the U1 unlocked on Verizon. Samsung told me to take it to a service center because I should have received the update. Verizon won't touch it. I read on the net that Verizon was known for blacklisting XAA/XAA phones so I got worried. The Samsung Center has had my phone for over 4 hours. I just called them. They tried flashing my phone 5 times. It will not take the One UI 5. They say it keeps booting to One UI 4.1. Either they don't know what they're doing or Verizon did blacklist my phone which will set me off to no end. Samsung won't replace my phone without me sending it in and they inspect it which is a 10 day turn around or I pay the $99 deductible for a phone that's only 4 months old that I didn't break and still making payments on. I'm so furious I could scream. If I knew how to flash the OS, I would.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mrEvotoTab:
Which carrier?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Maxvelo:
I'm on the October update. Maybe Samsung is planning on sending it out with the November update.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Billbo1970:
I have the S22u 512GB unlocked on Verizon. Bought directly from Samsung at launch. Never rooted this one, or joined Beta, or modified it in any way as I need it for work. Still saying I'm up to date when checking for updates, but I'm on the Oct 1 4.1ui version still... what gives?!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] visualpro:
On SM-S908U TMobile.. Went to Settings->Searched Update went to Security Update under Biometric and Security and then and starting to get the One UI 5.0!!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
I'm on TMOB, on beta5, and it isn't updating...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hayabusa1300cc:
Same
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] KamfromCali:
Just got UI 5 today after checking. T-Mobile variant, purchased thru Samsung direct.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mrEvotoTab:
I think you might need to downgrade if you are on the beta using smart switch. After I did that smart switch gave me the android 13 final version
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ray Adams:
Not yet. And this is because of big Cellular companies wanted their locked device to be updated first and Samsung is happy to oblige :(
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
can you explain what you did
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] rinkesh483:
Does anyone know when the One UI 5 update is expected on XAA S908U1?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] KOLIOSIS:
It's rolling out, at least to some who were on the One UI 5 / Android 13 Beta.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] rinkesh483:
Thanks,, but the wait is frustrating somehow..

Hopefully I get to see it sooner
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] KOLIOSIS:
Have you tried Samsung's SmartSwitch desktop (PC) tool?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mrEvotoTab:
I was on Android 13 beta 5, and not getting the final version so I connected my phone to the PC with smart switch and downgraded back to android 12, once the setup was complete, I connected it back to the PC with smart switch and it said to upgrade so I did and once it was completed I checked and it was now on Android 13 final version with no beta software pop up
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mrEvotoTab:
Screen shot
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] rinkesh483:
Yes tried but its say the software is upto date.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] KOLIOSIS:
Did your phone keep all of its data, or, did it factory reset when you downgraded from Android 13 Beta to Android 12?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jayr04:
Nothing on unlocked TMO.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] visualpro:
Actually, first I was trying the usual About phone and software update.. It kept coming up as Software is up to date.. Then I went thru the clicking on Update in Biometric and security and somehow it triggered the update process. I never went thru this route before but I was surprised to get the update finally.. lol!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Sim-X:
Nothing yet on my unlocked variant on Verizon. Bootloader locked and non rooted. I could flash the Verizon firmware I suppose but don't really care for the bloat.

Not sure how a carrier variant gets pushed before OEM version. Stupid
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] raddy:
Can I just go ahead and flash a carrier firmware in my carrier unblocked phone bought in USA but being used in a different country?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
When is the U1 version of the stable one ui5 coming out?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] xgerryx:
Nothing still. tried a bunch of tricks that prob don't work like changing dates and VPN. Still waiting.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
Soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] KamfromCali:
So far my experience with the One UI 5.0 after upgrading feels really solid! Gave a substantial improvement to Dolphin emulator performance in addition to other apps. Accessing split window is way better now. Screen touch sensitivity with S-Pen seems improved. Just the overall feel of it is snappy and heavy in a good way. Feels very much solid!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Don_dada:
The issue is that for unlocked to get it, all the major carriers have to have already approved it. T-Mobile has not yet, so unlocked devices have to wait (unless you were already on beta 5)

Samsung Galaxy S22 / S22+ / S22 Ultra: Update to Android 14

Find out about the Android update on the Samsung Galaxy S22 series.

www.t-mobile.com

Per T-Mobile, "The manufacturer is working on it!" ...so we won't get anything until this status changes to approved.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Maxvelo:
Just tried that but it didn't work for me :(
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
Thank you very good explanation.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] xgerryx:
This is annoying. lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] doubledragon5:
Does this include the factory unlocked on T-Mobile?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
Exactly! I got the US Factory Unlocked with a TMobile prepaid plan. No Carrier firmware at all and no Betas. If this is you also we will be the very last on the planet to get the update. That's my experience with S7 Edge, Note 8, S20U and now S22U. Yes it's nice to have the Freedom of Unlocked and Bloatfree but it also means your not a priority and always going to be last in line for updates. So if you haven't gotten it yet relax you'll get it whenever T-Mobile gets their chit together. 😑
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hayabusa1300cc:
Finally...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Zeblade:
I just checked T-Mobile UI S22 ultra and got it. I didn't check for days just read here so thought I would lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jayr04:
Got it
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] rinkesh483:
I flashed mine U1 unlocked with DSH U firmware and works fine
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] leung991085:
please report if it can use adhell for the UI 5.0 thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Maxvelo:
Just got my update too. Finally. TMO unlocked U1.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] PapaDocta:
XAA still nothing
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] draskome:
It looks like it started officially, at least according to SamMobile latest news 🌝
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mrbogusbaxter:
ATT s22U - just arrived update. 3GB. Had to maually click software update to see available.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoctorNasty:
I guess XAA will be last to get update
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] crizalid8:
Is there a difference between U1-XAA and U1 TMO?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Sim-X:
Good point, I didn't think of that. Still annoying though.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Don_dada:
I agree with the sentiment. And apparently T-Mobile approved it, my update finally showed up just now. U1 unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] xgerryx:
Just got it on my unlocked U1. Finally.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] draskome:
Are you on XAA?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] xgerryx:
Service Provider Software Version says XAA at the end of the string, yes.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] longshot21771:
Finally last day of the month here in US WV At and tree. Android 13 One UI 5.0 is downloading now. No previous beta for me
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ajpratt:
XXA still waiting. No previous beta install. ugh.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Steve Mannix:
XAA on Verizon, nothing here.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] RockLobstah:
XAA on Google Fi. No update yet
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] RockLobstah:
Can I flash the TMB firmware with Odin on my Google Fi XAA s22 ultra?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] doubledragon5:
Just installed mine.. Factory Unlock T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ddirty77:
Unlocked on Verizon. Nothing yet for S22 Ultra
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kayjo:
Still haven't got the update on factory unlocked s22 running on Verizon/Straight Talk. Bought directly from Samsung a few weeks ago
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] rinkesh483:
Yes you can, but in case you want to move back to XAA in future you will have to perform some additional steps

I have seen DSH flashed on XAA and works fine
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] rinkesh483:
What CSC version you are on?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] rinkesh483:
For this One Ui 5 update is still not available.. hopefully this week
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Steve Mannix:
Still nothing here on Verizon for XAA.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jayr04:
Are you guys doing a hard reset after install?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Steve Mannix:
Excellent question. I've heard of both approaches. I'm not sure if I'll do the full wipe when I get it but I'm leaning in that direction.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ruturaj001:
Just got the update. I have unlocked phone on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] chaysegr:
Is it a U1 model originally? I have a phone bought from Verizon, so it's a S908U, but I flashed U1 unlocked firmware to remove Verizons junk so it lists as S908U1 now. I still haven't received the update. I don't know if it just doesn't exist yet still or if I need to roll back to Verizons software.

If you or anyone here has any insight, for reference, right now my phone lists:

Model SM-S908U1

Build S908U1UES2AV15

CSC VZW
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] RockLobstah:
I removed my google fi SIM, changed my XAA CSC to TMB using samfw frp tool, checked and received the update. Then after install I put my SIM back in, This updated the network back to XAA but I then used the samfw frp tool to make sure all CSC codes were back to XAA. all is well :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Billbo1970:
This is some real bull**** it's now November 2nd and this update was released more than a week ago. Unlocked phone on VZW purchased directly from Samsung at launch. Phones that aren't carrier locked should be the priority not the last in line!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] RockLobstah:
You can try changing your CSC to VZW get the update then Change the CSC back to XAA. Or see if Smart Switch will trigger it. I got tired of waiting so I just changed my CSC to get the update.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ddirty77:
I totally agree....100%. I purchased my unlocked S22 Ultra at launch. My first unlocked phone. I swore I'd get the update quick. My brother on att has had it for a week now. And I'm hear that Verizon is already pushing it out. We should've had it before all carriers
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Steve Mannix:
Did you keep your data? Sounds like it. I’m on Verizon with XAA and will probably do this.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] chaysegr:
So using the tool I could change my CSC to a carrier that has update support and should be ok?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] RockLobstah:
My Data was intact :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] RockLobstah:
For me it was an easy switch since Google Fi uses Tmobile in my area so i change it to TMB. If you are unlocked on a specific carrier I would change it to that carrier code within that country. But to be honest I am all new to this part of the process. I can only speak to the fact that it worked for me. In the past I would just root phones and flash custom roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] chaysegr:
UPDATE! Since my phone is still "locked" to Verizon it wouldn't let me use a T-Mobile eSIM for their Test Drive while I had my Verizon SIM active... BUT... Turning on the T-Mobile eSIM and turning off the Verizon physical SIM made the phone restart and change its CSC to T-Mobile. I am downloading Android 13 right now!

EDIT: And the T-Mobile line works. I really loathe Verizon for being shady.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] RockLobstah:
Awesome! Congrats :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Billbo1970:
How do you enable/disable these SIMs??
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dexlemaffo:
You should clear the Android cache in the recovery mode everytime you get a monthly security update or a major Android upgrade. And disabling the RAM Plus feature aswell.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ajpratt:
Still no Unlocked on Verizon love. Seems backwards to pay more to get an unlocked version and then have to wait for the updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] RockLobstah:
one way is to remove your sim if you have one in and use the samfw frp tool to change the CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Billbo1970:
Why do you need to disable RAM+ ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] RockLobstah:
helps with performance in most cases
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Billbo1970:
To leave it off, or just kill it with an update and re-enable it?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] RockLobstah:
leave it off ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] YiZK:
Have a S908U, with S908U1 flashed... no 13 update on verizon. Switched to At&t prepaid sim and now 13 is available to download and install.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mcvigo:
Samfw Frp Tool switch CSC and to TMB and you will get updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Steve Mannix:
This is what I did for mine (Verizon SIM, though). All is well here also.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Sim-X:
Still waiting on Verizon. Unlocked S22 Ultra bought directly from Samsung.

By the time I mess around flashing I guess I'll just keep waiting. Stupid

I plan on hard resetting after the update not only because it's a dirty upgrade but I got this phone at launch so it's time.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] brachiopod:
Yeah, I don't have it yet, on TFN/TFN,XAA/XAA. I'm on Straight talk which is now owned by Verizon so it can suck even more. Unlocked seems to be late always.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] malikin:
got update 3 days ago for 908U1 unlocked

T-MOBILE USA
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ddirty77:
On what carrier network?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] eaoosa:
Nothing. Unlocked S22 Ultra 1TB on Mint Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] malikin:
T-MOBILE USA
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bh_buoyy!:
If we do this, will we still get OTA updates after we come back to XAA? Are you sure it won't cause any problems? I am using the unlocked (XAA) version and there is no update yet, which is now getting annoying. Feel like all of us should collectively somehow make a complain against Samsung, lol. Its the frustration speaking I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kayjo:
I still haven't gotten it and I also got mine straight from Samsung unlocked. I have it on straight talk which now is off of Verizon
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Steve Mannix:
I have a high degree of confidence I‘ll be fine with the OTA updates. The software version is correctly identified as XAA. Since the phone immediately recognized the update when I switched it to TMB, it appears the tool is doing what it is supposed to. It was also clear the phone recognized the switch back to XAA after the update was installed.

My advice would be if you’re concerned, wait until the update comes. I just plan to keep an eye out to make sure I do get the next OTA (which should be the November security update).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackwell387:
Hey I'm new to Google Fi I just ordered the S22 ultra. I was wondering is the Google Fi variant S22 ultra rooted yet and what the model number?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] neilth:
I have not rooted mine. The model number is SM-S908U1.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
If it's a U.S based U or U1 device then it can't be rooted at this time..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bh_buoyy!:
Hi, so I have a small question. I am using the phone in India, so the sim is also Indian. I am seeing that sims (such as Verizon, t-mobile, etc. ) decide what CSC code the phone will have. So given my Indian sim, it should not create any problems, right? As long as I remove the sim while changing the CSC code, and then change the code back to XAA after updating. (I hope I was able to make my point clearly lol. ) Also, it would be great if you could give a confirmation whether you received any future updates or not. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kayjo:
Have you gotten it get? I'm also on TFN/TFN,XAA/XAA and on Straight Talk
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] brachiopod:
Not yet! Yeah, sounds like you are in the same boat. The skeptic in me thinks that now that Verizon owns ST I would not be surprised if they delay things on purpose since ST is not a "premium" service. Probably won't get it on a Sunday either heh.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shorty96:
What is the baseband version for t-mobile, because I'm not sure if I already have it ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] THC Butterz:
S22 Ultra unlocked/unbranded with XAA still no update, for the folks that have used the T-Mobile CSC, did the update come with the T-Mobile bloat, splash, etc?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Steve Mannix:
I’m afraid I can’t help with the Indian sim question. The CSC change is to trick the phone into checking for the TMB update. After I downloaded and installed the update and replaced the sim, the phone identified the sim as a Verizon one and made the necessary changes. i went back into the tool to change it to the original XAA code to assure I would get the future OTAs. In your case I don’t know if the Indian sim will act the same.

I will post to confirm if I get the next OTA or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Steve Mannix:
I didn’t. As soon as I restarted the phone with the Verizon sim the phone made the changes back to the original Verizon network. Nothing else was changed or downloaded.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] biikman:
After you went back yo xaa csc, does your service provider software version show vzw/vzw/TMB/vzw? not really sure what they represent.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Steve Mannix:
It shows VZW/VZW,XAA/XAA on the second line under Service Provider Software version. I'm not certain what they represent, either, but since it identifies as VZW and XAA and doesn't show TMB anywhere I'm reasonably certain the provisioning to VZW is correct.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] biikman:
strange wonder why I got that tmb in there.

what I did was flash AVI5 for 908UI

remove simcard..

use samfw tool to change csc to TMB, have it detect and install update

insert simcard and have it auto revert back to XAA.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Billbo1970:
So... it's Nov. 6 and still no update. No security patch either, so even that is late!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Steve Mannix:
Only difference I can see from what I did is I went back into the samfw tool after install and changed CSC to XAA. After I did that, the phone provisioned itself again and it shows what I wrote in the other post.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] biikman:
yup that was it. thx :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Steve Mannix:
Excellent! Glad I could help.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] wizky911:
Secret is to borrow a t-mobile sim card from a friend and the you'll get official One Ui5 download...if you're on an unlocked device
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] rinkesh483:
I have been just told by Samsung Pro Care executive that Unlocked version will receive update on 7th Nov,, so lets see if we receive them or not
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] wizky911:
That's the rumor at least. I can confirm
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kayjo:
Still no update on S22 unlocked that I got straight from Samsung and have it in Straight Talk. I see comments from ppl saying to use samfw frp tool and update it that way. My question is what is that and how do u do it? Can anyone walk me thru with step by step directions hahah! Thanks

I was able to get my XAA Unbranded S22 Ultra from Fi to update today, what i did was i tried SamFw Frp tool to change my csc (make sure the default dialer is the only one installed) It kept going through but no update, then i went to their website and grabed the Home CSC file for the android 12 i was on but under the TMB device not XAA, flashed it, after reboot i used my phone, fi sim in, then changed my csc in the tool again to TMB, exploit failed, but csc changed, when all was settled i got into the phone with the pop up to reboot and switch to set up my sim, at this point i poped my sim out and then ran ADB Read full information (the command cleared the pop up) checked for update and it was there, then set back to XAA, no bloat, no Knox Trip, No splash, just XAA on A13

Edit: oh and no data loss
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kayjo:
Don't know anyone with tmobile😔
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] draskome:
In the meantime, while we are waiting, even Note 20 gets Android 13:

BREAKING: Galaxy Note 20, Note 20 Ultra getting stable Android 13 (One UI 5.0) update​

Seems that first sign that update is rolling to XAA will be at SamMobile, so we should keep eye on it
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] yardi4life:
For those not able to get the update with the unlocked phone and not on T-Mobile, one solution is to get a T-Mobile sim (activated or not) and put it in your phone. Reboot when prompted. Check for software update after reboot. Install update and reboot. Put back you carrier sim and reboot again.

I used a T-Mobile sim that was not activated and had no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] yardi4life:
Go to a T-Mobile store and pop out a sim from one of the display phones. But dont let them see you 😉😅
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kayjo:
I'm not aware of any tmobile store around

November 9th now and still no update for my S22 Ultra unlocked phone. Very frustrating.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] george.smarandache:
Easy way around this for S908U1 XAA users:

1. get SamFW tool [https://samfw.com/blog/samfw-frp-tool-1-0-remove-samsung-frp-one-click];

2. take SIM out;

3. use SamFW to change CSC to ATT [no factory reset or data wipe during this process];

4. phone will restart;

5. check for update. If all done correct, you should have the pop-up with A13 [OneUI5];

6. put SIM back and enjoy.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] THC Butterz:
Yes and no, you can buy a s22 from Fi, (I have two of them, a ultra and a +) but they are XAA unbranded phones as though they were bought directly from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] 2015Ducatimulti:
SamFW change to TMB worked perfect for me, and now I have android 13 on my XAA from GoogleFI
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Sim-X:
Nov 10th and still nothing. WTF Samsung? Latest flagship direct form Samsung would think would be top priority. Should be pushed by now.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] brachiopod:
Yeah, nothing here yet on Verizon NVMO. Since the update is rolling out for other phones, such as the A53, it makes me wonder if there is a reason for the delay? Stupidity (just slow) or malice (Verizon phones first) or maybe there is another reason? There was speculation on other forums that there is a Bluetooth problem that had to be fixed, but of course as usual no official word from Samsung. I'm just going to wait and see what happens.
