Can someone suggest a way for me to receive updates through the settings itself by forcing my phone to do so. My Galaxy S10 plus SM-G975U isn't receiving updates through settings after security patch level: May 1, 2020. I bought the phone from abroad and am using it in india but I really don't know the true country of origin of this phone i know that its an SPR firmware phone but the IMEI suggests that its from finland i really don't want to firmware flash because I want to start receiving updates through the normal way and I don't trust service centres. I have posted this several times and I've had no success even the customer care doesn't help. So please someone🙏🙏🙏

I dont know if they will flash it because your device is of another country.
The only way to find out is to visit them and ask.
From which country did you buy the phone..???

There is no firmware for finland available.
Finland is in Europe, and Europe doesn't have G975U (snapdragon) devices.
Dont rely on IMEI.
CSC is what matters the most when it comes to software updates.
Its simple bro, in order to get updates there are only two things you can do.
Either put sim card of the country you bought the phone from, or just simply change the firmware by flashing which will take max 10 mins.

I am very grateful for your help 🙏
And now can you give me the safest firmware to flash because I am scared that I might break my phone in the process so I will provide you with necessary information so can you tell me which CSC firmware I should download and also tell me if I flash a different csc than SPR firmware in my device then it won't lead to any damage to my phone right??

First backup all your data because this will factory reset your device.

Download this firmware
