Question Need help updating my device (FIXED IT BY MYSELF. IT WORKED.) - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Can anyone help me here? I'm using a S21 Ultra which has U based firmware and it's an AT&T model. I'm not living in USA and that is why I can't update my device. If I switch to U1 will I be getting updates outside USA? Or is there other ways to get updates on my phone? I don't want to manually update everytime. I want to get updates normally. Please help me.

When i switched to U1. I was able to get OTA. Im outside US as well. Im on ASIA.

Firmware jumping

Back in the older Samsung phones and tablets, you could odin the "stock" Samsung firmware over the carrier firmware. I did this with my S7, S6, and Note 6. Has anyone tried this with the Note 8 yet? I am going to attempt tonight when I get home, just wanted feedback from anyone who has tried. In my personal experience, it was the best way to rid of bloatware.
I was on EVR EE firmware and changed it to XEU firmware with no problems
@pnr2020 is the XEU firmware the no-carrier version?

Do not try crossflashing before taking a proper backup via Qfil first, just to keep u safe if things go wrong.

Then yes, you can flash the european rom, I've seen other post that they have been able to do it without any problems.

flash it to the EU android 10, you can find the link to the EU android 10 rom in there

anyone got an update for one ui 2.5 att?

As the title suggests, I haven't been able to find anything just tmoble
From what i understood while helping a few snapdragon users, AT&T firmware handling is done through them and not Samsung. Considering how snapdragon is a month or two slower on releases to Exynos, with AT&T you seem to get another layer of delay.
Nevertheless, you can always flash the Unlocked (SM-N960U1 XAA) firmware to it, but i would assume you'd lose a few AT&T features specific to their CSC.
Have been looking for any US based version of the update and still nothing yet. Hope we see something soon. I will be honest I want wireless DeX.
Weirdly, AT&T got 2.5 yesterday, before the unlocked one.

No SM-N9600 has got One UI 2.5 yet. The latest one is TGY (Hong Kong) ETJ5, but that's still One UI 2.1. We still have to wait for a FXXX firmware.
I'm on Spectrum and this is the latest in the month I've gone without an update. Im guessing there was a bug in first build, maybe thats why the release of the 2nd and the delay?
Have just used Odin to install the Sprint firmware on my Xfinity Mobile phone, install went smooth as silk, even Good Lock wasn't knocked out.

What country and carrier are you on? I don't see an update.
Mine came in this morning, US (SD) Unlocked on T-Mobile.
Just arrived on UK unlocked
Now if someone can figure out root on US snappy variants for this.....
Installed seems smooth and hope battery life stays the same

Are you on U firmware or U1? I'm on U1 with T-Mobile and don't show an update. I'm guessing that I'll need to flash back to the stock T-Mobile firmware.
Edit: reflashed back to stock T-Mobile firmware and the update is still not showing up.

Were you already on the Beta? Wondering if Beta testers get the Stable release first. Otherwise, i'll be sitting here all day keep hitting the update button. lol
Downloading now in the UK, looking forward to trying this out

Why won't Odin let you flash back to the official build? Are you using the official version of Odin or the patched version?

I tried patched and unpatched and several builds of odin. It just wouldn't move past the SetupConnection step. I finally got it to complete after changing absolutely nothing after the 15th try. Still no update available.

Is it me or many UI elements are bigger compared to One UI 3.1? Like the phone is running at different DPI.

Question sm-920x firmware

Is there a way to download the firmware for these? I am looking at using odin to flash this demo model I got my hands on. Any help is appreciated
It's highly unlikely you will be able to do this. There is probably hardware differences and maybe even some hardware components omitted completely. I've previously heard about some demo smart watches not have GPS hardware in them for example.
I'd be surprised if you didn't get an error when attempting to flash commercial firmware.
I've provided firmware to someone before, who flashes it on demo models. I'd have to try and find the conversation though, as I don't recall the details offhand

I don't know. I have a source who can get me firmware for any USA Samsung model, but that's not a USA model. So I can get R915U firmware, but not R9150.
And I don't know of any other websites that host watch firmware
Pars Hamrah posted Combination Firmwares for few chinese GW4 and GW5... but its useless...
Code:
COMBINATION_FAC_FBR0_R9150FAU1AVI1_FACFAC_CL24897031_QB56160709_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
No idea if somebody from China found chinese Stock Firmware for any GW4 or GW5...
Btw...
Chinese Models have Bootloader unlock in Reboot Menu?
Or similar locked like US devices?
