Different country firmwares have different app versions... - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D

Hello,
A friend and I have the Galaxy A3 2017 and both are on the unmodified stock firmware. He is on the German DBT firmware and I on the French FTM (Orange) firmware. We both received the latest January
2018 update via OTA. But on the DBT samsung camera is version 7.1.34 and has a new feature like putting stickers (hats, cat faces....) when taking selfies. The FTM firmware has samsung camera 7.1.23 and does not have these effects. Contacts and calender app are also a newer version on DBT than FTM. Who decided to not update these apps on FTM? Samsung or Orange? And why?

Looks like I found something nobody ever heard of

Just checked my camera app version, it's 7.1.42 and if i remember correctly it has had the stickers since marshmallow. I'm still on November security patch.

[Q] New Firmware? P7500BUKI1 (that's BUKi1)?

I got a 10.1 3G version today in the UK and the first thing I did was a KIES update.
The firmware that's now installed is P7500BUKI1 (Bravo Uniform Kilo India One).
I've done a google and can only find one reference to this firmware, is it brand new?
I've also done a google search and a search here for how to dump a firmware and can't seem to find a useful howto, could someone point me at one possibly?
Thanks
Would be great if you could find a way to get the firmware uploaded - been trying to get the tab back to a stock UK firmware for a while now!
Does Kies not store the downloaded firmware?
I found out how to do a CWM backup so have done one and now have a fullset of .img files.
If someone can point me at a howto to extract them I can try to put together a recovery zip for you.
ok cheers. I tried to do a quick search to see if I could help, but I can't!
Is yours a carrier version? Is the CSC XEU or did you buy a Tab in the UK that's from another country? Mine's an October build and this is what shows in Kies:
PDA:KHD / PHONE:KG1 / CSC:KH3 (XEU)
There aren't any updates available which is unusual if they've already started shipping units with a newer build. Is the new ROM 3.1 or 3.2?

KI1 is a September build, it is Android 3.1. I have been running Italian (ITV) KI1 firmware for some time already and it is really smooth.
If you can give us more information then we probably can find this firmware on Samsung servers.
Please post the contents of following files (you don't need root to access these files, you just need a file explorer):

KH3 XEU was just released three weeks ago on the delayed 32GB and 64GB P7500's that were all built in October. What OP received is probably that update (along with carrier customizations) that's being pushed out to Vodafone Tabs. This is especially true if it's 3.1. I'd guess the next general XEU update will be to 3.2.

I know, and it is exactly what I need so that I can get my tab back to the stock XEU firmware that I have spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to get!
i think not yet

If you could that would be brilliant. I've been trying to get my tab back to stock and updatable with Kies for ages!

[Question] Upgrading to Pie

As Pie is being distributed, the UK are still waiting for their 'slice' of pie. I am on EE (T-Mobile) can I download another countries ROM? I did flash a different country ROM on my S7 years ago and it worked fine but just wondering if anyone has tried it with Pie?

I've flashed the German version (crl1) and working fine but I am on the international device (BTU) so you might need a different version? Sorry I can't be more sure!
If you can find the right version then research how to use Odin and download the software from Sammobile.
Last thing is when it is released in the UK, you will need fo ensure you flash back to a UK version to recieve OTA updates going forward

S21 CSC change to Poland XEO?

So i have S21 on Croatian T-mobile, CRO CSC, but they are slacking to release two latest updates already.. Other providers already released updates... so i decided to change firmware and flashed Poland XEO firmware with Odin. (also in anticipation of OneUI 4 Beta sign-up).
All went fine however i'm now on latest firmware and security patch, but CSC still showing CRO, it's really confusing since my provider doesn't even have this firmware released yet. How will this affect my future updates? So weird that samsung is now not allowing CSC change.
I think there are a lot of problems to change CSC after September security patch. I'm having trouble with a s20+ september patch, tried many methods to change csc but nothing is working so far.

Galaxy s21 not receiving updates

I have a Galaxy s21 olympic edition with number SM-G991Q and i am not receiving montly updates. The last update was the August 2021 patch and was installed on August 30th.
Also smart switch on Windows is not detecting Any new updates.
I tried to reset the device without luck getting new updates.
Does anybody has the same problems with the Galaxy s21 SM-G991Q not receiving updates?
I have this phone too, I also only got the August security update.
Don't worry, they probably lost their update schedule before switching to Android 12. I got updates yesterday for SM-G9910.
I have the same phone and find it odd that it doesn't show up on sammobile or anywhere else.
Does anyone know where to find original firmwares for it?
I have too G991Q and I need flash to XAA because I need BAND 20 LTE my country help me pls or altwrnative stock ROM?
OK I solved writing on Mobile S21 G991Q 4G LTE Slovakia Band 20 ALLOWED

Well on november 8th i finally got the october 2021 update. Hopefully the android 12 update will follow zoon
I have a question about the G991Q, did any of you get the ESIM to work yet? It is currently software locked - in theory it should have it because it is a Snapdragon chip
Do you have Android 12 on G991Q already? Im checking every day but still no luck Should I install non olympic rom? Will that work? Thanks
@Corbik
This particular variant has yet to receive the stable One UI 4/Android 12 update.
@jussy
See here; the model number of this variant is SM-G991Q and the CSC is SJP. At the time of posting this, the latest available firmware version is G991QOPU1AUJ2.
my version is g9910 and still no update to android 12.
last version a11 octuber security update....
whats happend....
What standard version would be closest to G991Q? I tried to flash U1 ROM but no luck
Friends i'm also with the SM-G991Q olympic version.. I really need to switch to CSC from ZTO, to try to use VOLTE and WIFI CALLING from my operator in my country, Brazil!
Can someone please help me change CSC to ZTO ? I tried the tutorial above, but it doesn't open anything when typing the codes, were you able to change? I saw that it only works on android 10. but we are on android 11.
I saw that you have the option to change CSC ANDROID 11 via Samkey, but I believe it still doesn't have support for our SM-G991Q device.

Have you tried switching to another S21 variant's ROM with Snapdragon 888? it worked out ?
If it doesn't work, I think I found our ROM to perform restoration via ODIN, in brink event:

Yes I tried the U1 version since it should be US version with Snapdragon888.
That ROM you found, based on the numbers is exactly what is in my phone now.
I think I will just wait some more time to get official Android 12 update, hopefully our special version wont be forgotten
But If somebody know which ROM would also work for SM-G991Q and ideally would also support all languages and features (esim for example) please share

Samsung has frequent update delays for Chinese market. Perhaps some peculiarities of the legislation. Updates for Canada are the same.

You can either wait for the OTA to arrive or flash it yourself using ODIN. The firmware file became available a few days ago for the Chinese market. Haven't tested it yet though, I'm downloading it now.

Edit: After testing, I don't recommend the Chinese version, too much bloatware, and no google services. We've gotta wait for the HK version.

Same problem here. Samsung don't release update for s21 china / hk / Taiwan .
No communication of Samsung for explain why ... Maybe geopolitics problems with Android and conflict between china and USA.
samsung probably does not want to offend the chinese government. we must hope that the phone is not filled with bloatware. Next Time i can't buy chinese version.

Hey, maybe some can answer this for me?
I have the S21 SM-G991U (snapdragon), purchased from USA, using it in Europe.
There is no OTA update for android 12 and I am not sure why.
So, I wanted to flash it via ODIN, but I am not sure what version of firmware to download.
When I use *#1234# > it shows me this CSC: G991UOYN4AUIN
When I use the "Samsung Phone INFO" app, the "Active CSC code" is GCF (screenshot attached).
Could someone answer this for me and tell me what firmware version I could download? Or why there is no OTA yet?
Thank you!
HK version got it guys
I will let you know how it goes after i update
update:
other than the new privacy controls and jiggly animations, It feels more or less the exact same to me
I hope for the future, security patch will be push more quickly ...
