Unlocked S908U1UEU2AVF1 June Updated Link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=15664248565197184653
How To Guide OTA and Non-OTA Firmware for S22 Ultra SM-S908U and S22 Ultra SM-S908U1 Versions
- Thread starter kangi26
- Start date
It worked for me from model 908U to 908U1, but I had a problem. Enter the SIM activation code?
The firmware has been installed via Odin patch, is my method correct? Or do I have to use the original Odin?
When you download a specific language that does not appear completely on the phone, the English language is used instead. Is there a way to download a language and make it work fully? Like any non-US version?
The Verizon phone is still locked to Verizon, it will unlock after 60 days if it has been previously activated on Verizon. Did you buy this phone sealed?
Now it says Enter the code, do I leave it for 60 days after which it disappears immediately, or does an update of the device have to be done after 60 days to disappear and is there any harm in changing the version from 908U to 908U1 with regard to Verizon?
I bought it from a person who told me that it is open but it was not and the person did not respond to me again so far, and after searching it turned out that it is in good condition and not stolen
Looks like the phone was never activated with Verizon. Not sure if you can by pass that check without inserting a Verizon Sim.
Not good news.
I have a Verizon chip inside the device, but it does not work due to the lack of coverage outside the United States and I am in the Middle East
I have had that issue abroad once. I think I used a wifi connection to activate it on TMobile. Perhaps a VPN to the US on the wifi night help too?
It did not work in any case. It asks to enter the code and I do not know anything about it. This is only when installing the SIM from an operator outside the US. When installing the Verizon SIM, a different note appears whether there is Wi-Fi in the VPN US or not.
Is this site fraudulent?

If Verizon said the device is unlocked, tell them to provide the code. If they can't, you can try unlocking services. Did you enter the imei to see if it can be unlocked?It did not work in any case.

Sim locked for first 60 days, will automatically unlock after 60 days of service.
What's going on Android fanatics! Hope everyone doing well.
We are all waiting for the July update so we can complain about it, or just getting device boredom because there's nothing wrong with it at all.

3Give me a little bit fellas. I'm flashing back to AVG6..will do a minimum setup with a few apps. Then I will sideload again to see if data wipes3So I flashed back to AVG6 At&t(Firstnet) locked U firmware. Setup a few apps. Sideload the update.zip Beta...data was wiped.1
I'm seeing AVG8 for Xfinity and Comcast on Sam snagged a copy with Frija and just flashed it no problems
I don't think it matters which carrier version you flash as long as its the same device hardware region. For instance you can flash any US carrier U if you want to stay U or U1 if you want to stay U1. I've done it before no problems. As long as your flash includes the Home CSC you won't reset or loose or change your carrier data settings it pulls your particular carrier data from your sim and eSIM just don't flash the included data file and if your on a AT&T U and you flash the Xfinity file you will still keep your AT&T data and AT&T bootup screen. So no need to wait till the A&T one drops. If I'm wrong or missing anything that applies directly to AT&T someone please chime in and correct me1I have a Verizon phone that I just converted from Stock carrier U to U1 to then flash the new UI 5 beta. I've done it before on either my Note 20 Ultra ot Note 10+. I always in that instance flash CSC. Going from U to U1 you want to wipe. To avoid issue. But even with the wipe, the way U1 works is once it boots and sees your Sim card, it loads your carrier stuff. So I still have my Verizon Boot animation, wifi calling and HD video and phone calls between Verizon customers. I just don't have all the bloatware that comes with the stock U firmware. Now when updates come out or I'm flashing between firmwares on the same U1 platform, I would use CSC home to avoid wipe because it really isn't needed in that instance. I'll only go CSC when I flash back to Stock U when it becomes fully available on U, warranty issue or if I trade my phone in.1I'm officially on the beta update. I will keep you all updated with any more updates -

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
