Thanks bro, I've been stuck on the April fool's update since 1983 and Smart Switch kept telling me I was up-to-date. I had to manually inject it into my phone. Thank you many for the tutorial!

Thank you, this worked for me. Samsung told me they would have to wipe all my data to update. I have At&t S22U that is now on T-Mobile that hasn't update for over a year.This method preserved everything and I'm now on One UI 6.1 and the last security update is Aug 2024. I did get this warning message "be sure to delete your google account(samsung account) " that I wasn't sure what it meant, but found out. Samsung devices have a security feature called Factory Reset Protection (FRP), which is linked to your Google account (and/or Samsung account). If you don’t remove your Google account before flashing the device, FRP might kick in after the process. This could result in the device being locked, requiring you to sign in with the Google account. I went in Settings > Accounts > Google > Remove Account. I then added it back when I was finished.
thanks to your guidance I was able to flash successfully. Thank you and your community so much. This has been frustrating me for the better part of a year and I'm just relieved that it's been completed.

Adding this comment for anyone who might wanted to try, i was able to upgrade my phone s22 ultra from android 1 to 14 One UI 6.1, had a short error on display and the phone prompt me to perform factory data reset and it works perfacrly, Thanks mate!!!! july-2024
nice!... but the "short error... explain? Is there a different way of your method than this "Explaining Androids" approach? Also can you direct me to the proper site to DL my rirmware? I also have s22 ultra...
My s22 is from USA (its unlocked but its from verizon). I don't get ota updates as i live in another country using another sim. Will changing csc to USC or something else help me get those ota updates?
@@ExplainingAndroid Thanks! In the meantime I found a download and flashed the latest firmware for S22 Ultra. Even though it completed with OK (?) it still failed on the phone so i did a factory reset which then updated to the latest version :)
Hey man! Been watching your videos and getting some valuable information from them. Yet, I got a problem that I couldn't solve despite the countless hours of research... My S21 Ultra won't connect to any GPS satellites. I tried the common fixes offered by the official website, no luck. And I found something related to the service mode but can't get into NV Rebuilding section. Do you have a recommendation? Thanks!
@@ExplainingAndroid Hey, thanks for replying! I thought that was the last resort. I did try it and I still get no reliable connection. GPS Test application shows no connection to GPS satallites.
maybe u can answer my question. why do u need to do this? doesn't the s22 already get these updates ota? i don't get it i have a s22 ultra and it's always updated it'self so i don't understand why someone would want to do it this way. if u could give me a answer i would appreciate it alot . thanks
there are times when those OTA updates just do not register properly. so if, for example, you buy this phone from Verizon Wireless, those OTA updates will not be sent to your device unless the phone has a Verizon SIM card and is active on the network. so if you switch carriers (or just don't have a SIM card for any reason) then you can't get those updates just one example, but it's helpful for a number of others
What could be the problem sir that my phone (s22 plus) is still on May 1, 2023 security patch? I tried reading forums from reddit and xda but gotten no answer for this particular issue and also when I searched through my CSC (WWD) it is an unknown code in many sites that I visited, maybe this could be the root cause that I couldnt receive monthly security patches? I am considering to try this procedure but hesistant that I might brick my phone.
My s22plus is from USA, i don't get april update till date may be because iam living in India. My question is, can i chance the software from USA to Indian variant. Is there a way? And if, how?
you would need to check and see if the hardware used in the India release of the phone is the same as the USA release of the phone. sometimes Samsung uses Qualcomm in the US while using Exynos in other parts of the world if that's the case with the india/us GAlaxy S22 plus, then it is not advised to change the firmware regions like that I would suggest you use the steps I show in this video to manually install the April update. and then just keep manually updating it each month with Odin
@@ExplainingAndroid thankyou for your kind reply Sir, lately in India galaxy S22 series comes with the same processor (snapdragon 8gen 1) as in USA. Does that mean, it's possible?
@@lalsangH the video you're commenting on is what you're looking for. the only difference is you find the region/csc code for India that you want to switch to. download it, extract it, and then load it into Odin as I show you in this video
I am using s22 ultra and I can't get the firmware I have tried Frija, SamFW, Bifrost, Sammobile and still haven't got the firmware every page gives me an error message....pls help me my Model: SM-S908U County: (GCF/GCF, GCF/XAA) This is written in the service provider software (OYN) this is written at the CSC after the model number I don't know which country code is the required and I have tried them all and still got errors PLSSS HELP ME''''
I think GCF is in the Service Provider field, it is the CSC, it typically means that your device has a generic, globally certified firmware that isn’t tied to a specific carrier.
I am not able to find firmware for my CSC- GCF on frija or samfw are there any other ways to download it? Please help EDIT: This phone is Tmobile locked and i live in india so can i Use TMB as a CSC code?
Wondering if you might know why when I open Odin to select the files, the firmware is not there? I have downloaded the firmware in both Frija and SamFW and I can see the files in my file explorer outside of the Odin application. But each time I open Odin, it's as if those files were never there. Anyway you can help me out? I have tried using versions v3.13.3, v3.14.1, and v3.14.4
hello, your video is awesome. I have one question I hope you'll answer. My model number is SM-908UZKATT but on samfw there is no firmware for this model number. However, when I search using the term SM-908U a bunch of firmware shows up. Will any of those firmware work for my device? or do I need to have the firmware for the exact model number of my phone(SM-908UZKATT)? Please answer..... TIA
SM-S908U is your actual model number the other is the model code from the region your phone originally is from..look for the model number in software information before you can select the region, different model no are supported in different region If you have U at the end of your model no - SM-S908U then guess its a usa model and you will find only usa frimware
Hi, i bought an used s22 , but when search for updates it says it's up to date but it's still on one Ui 5.1 Also i wanted to mention that update icon is weird Please help me

But everytime I try to update it says, "Software Update Interrupted No update is available for your device at this time. Please try again in 24 hours." It is a US variant AT&T phone which is being used in Bangladesh. The S22 is capable of running the OneUI 6, but I don't know why it's not updating. Please help
Same exact situation bruh. I'm stuck with one ui 5.1 with security patch still on May 1, 2023. Envious of other galaxy users who got one ui 6 on OTA update, might as well take the risk when one ui 6.1 arrive.
maybe people follow this tutorial because they are unable to install OTA updates through the built-in updater. but yes, you should still be able to install OTA updates with the built-in updater if you use this method. this process itself will not break OTA updates for your device

My S22 Ultra is still on an old March 2022 Security Update. Is it ok to just update to the newest firmware or am I juspposed to only update in a specific order? On sammobile I see a pretty long list but notice that there are lots under "Version 12", "13" and "14". Is that referring to the version of Android it runs on? Mine is still on Android 12. Does that mean I should only update to the latest listed under my version of Android and then manually update to the next version of Android or will installing the newest update just upgrade to the newest version of Android?

no, the phone does not need to be rooted for this to work. and you don't even need to unlock the bootloader either (since it uses download mode and odin)
So, two questions, 1. Does updating like this result in data loss ? 2. I'm currently using a Korean version SM-S908N outside of the region... I need to know if it is possible to instal the International version into this device, and if it would cause any issues in the usage... (Both versions are on the same chipset - SD 8 gen 1)
