Damn! Good reminder! I wanted to try that when I read it from that poster but I got too anxious and impatient that I just changed the date to get the update.
Now I have to wait till the next update to try this trick

I'm not sure who posted this code, but I know I saw it here...*#8736364# thank you very much. I never get updates on locked At&t by checking software update in setting. But putting this code in dialer the updates downloaded on my 22 ultra and 22+...thanks again.
That was me, your welcome. I owe you for helping me awhile back. Always use that code instead of changing the date, and sometimes it can take 10 min after using that code before it tells you an update is available
Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy A54, Vivo X90 Pro Plus, and more forums are now open
Check out XDA forums for Samsung's forthcoming flagship and more

Verizon just pushed out System Update 15 for the S22 Ultra (SM-S908U) yesterday. It says it was the January security update, which is weird. Because Verizon had already pushed the January security update a couple of weeks ago as part of System Update 14.
You said here if you are on bootloader 2 you can't go back to a previous version, what if i need to go from bootloader 2 to bootloader 3 without losing data, is it possible?
You can't go back to a lower bootloader number once it goes up. If you get Ota update to a newer bootloader you will not lose data. If you flash firmware with odin, you will need to use Home_csc to keep data.

See Post #2 and #3 for the Links to the Firmware
All of the firmware posted here can be flashed on any U or U1 Device. Each of the firmware's are NOT carrier dependent and only has carrier labels listed in order to have an idea if you might get OTA when you flash it.
The firmware packages house each of the carrier's information, features, bloat, splash screens etc. (That's why they roll in at over 7Gb). When you flash a firmware the installation package reads your SIM, determines what carrier you're using and then installs the "package" that's designed for your carrier
S908USQU1AVA7 (Totally fake Firmware. I just made it up for example purposes)
S=Galaxy S
908U or F etc, the model of device
SQ, FX etc = CPU and model specific
U,S,E = Update, Security, Engineering, respectively
1,2,3,4,5 etc = bootloader revision (This is important! You cannot go to a previous revision)
A, B, C etc = Android version
U, V = Year (U=2021, V=2022 etc)
A,B,C etc = month (January A - December L)
1 - 9 and then A - Z =build compilation. This basically means how many builds there are in a month. They start at 1 and go to Z
So S908USQU1DVAM would be
S908-U-SQ-U-1-A-V-A-7
S908U (S22 Ultra Carrier version), SQ (Snapdragon), U (Update), 1 (Bootloader version), A (Build 12), V (2022), A (January), 7 (7th build)
BL- Boot Loader
AP - Application Processor (also termed PDA), this is the system partitions, recovery etc,
CP - This is the Modem
CSC - Consumer Software Customization. This is all of the stuff that contains the different carrier features, wi-fi calling, APN stuff like that. You'll notice that this file is getting as big(If not bigger) than the AP file with the system information.
HOME_CSC - This is still the "Same" as the CSC, except it retains the CSC information that is flashed on the device. It wont wipe your device like the normal CSC will. This is part of the package in the OTA that doesn't wipe your phone
USERDATA - Carrier files, this "Brands" the device to your carrier
How to enter Download Mode:
Turn off the device.Connect USB cable to your PC (Leave it disconnected from the phone)Press and hold down the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons. While they are still pressed, plug in the USB cable into your phone.The phone will go into download mode press volume up. In Odin you will see that phone is added.
A decent writeup on how to use Odin:
From samsungfirmware.net How to Flash Samsung Phone Firmware Using Odin***You MUST use one of the Patched versions of Odin in post #2 or #3 when flashing***
Dirty Flash:
I would only do this if you are having to manually update to the newer firmware and would not do it if you are coming/going to U/U1 or from beta firmware or if you are on an old firmware. I'd also highly recommend doing a back up prior to the doing thisLoad these into OdinBLAPCPHOME_CSC
Do NOT flash CSC or USERDATA (If it's in the download package), either of these WILL wipe your device.This is a "dirty flash" and these can sometimes cause issues. Keep in mind if things start going sideways and stuff starts not working right, your first step to a solution will be to wipe the device.14S908U1 - Unlocked Versions

There's VERY little chance you'll brick (The only way that I know you can is pulling the USB cable when flashing), that aside, it'll just error before the flash could happen.
That being said, If you have a S908U or S908U1 device you can flash ANY of the firmware on this post. The firmware is not Carrier agnostic, the only reason there are carrier tags next to the posted firmware is to let people if they flash a specific one whether or not that is the current stock one and will get OTA in future releases.
Most of that info is in the OP (I think.......), and if you're not too familiar with the process, I highly advise taking the time to read thru the pages, almost everything you'll need to know has been posted.
If you can't find something ask, most everyone is super helpful
