Want to try this. Should i must flash the same version when you want to jump, or i can go ahead to latest version both each other?
How To Guide OTA and Non-OTA Firmware for S22 Ultra SM-S908U and S22 Ultra SM-S908U1 Versions
- Thread starter kangi26
- Start date
Ok, so I keep seeing people (especially in India) make a huge deal about recording phone calls, and call recording apps. I have to ask, what the heck is the deal with this? Why is call recording such an absolute necessity?
Most likely to record their calls with gf/wife and play it back in hour of need.
Frankly saying due to rising internet crimes and phone threats and online cheating its really useful to have these features in mobiles.
The new T-Mobile update broke RCS for me.... figures. Any troubleshooting methods I can preform

I think the release of the 22 ultra has been a mess. Updates that are breaking things..needing an update to fix things. I still think photos look like oil paintings..but it just could be me since I really don't know much about the camera settings..lol. Yeah the device is beautiful and I love it but come on Samsung.
See Kangi..Venom ..and you guys wonder why my Note 20 ultra still on U1DUB7...lol
I usually go from latest to latest. I think you can go backwards but not to an earlier bootloader version.
I've had zero issues with this phone. Even after last months update I had nothing break. I guess I'll give rcs a day or two and go from there. I am interested if anyone else has had the same problem when updating to the June OTA
I've tried everything possible. I'm on the phone with TMobile to see what can be done. Will update accordingly
Same, did all the usual things to "force" it work. No matter what still "verifying".
Everyone I know that has T-Mobile that has as s22 ultra updated to June patch have the same issue with RCS. Doesn't this **** get tested before release?
Solution! Remove SIM card, reboot, open messages, put SIM card back in... Connecting, connected!
False alarm, it reverted back to setting up...
Ugh, I finally got it. 10 min later it reverted.
Edit: Went back to U1 AVDC working perfectly!

4Whatever bloat your current Sim has, you will get. I believe even if you dirty flash it will detect your Sim regardless. If I'm wrong someone will jump in.43

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.12S908U - Carrier Versions
Bootloader 2 - If you are on a Bootloader 2 firmware you can NOT go back to a Bootloader 1 firmware, there is NO workaround.

I would never support locking the thread, it's how everyone learns and has some fun too7
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
