Not receiving any updates since one ui6.1 and android 14

Hey everyone,

I have bought this phone in May 2025 and I haven't received any update since then. It's still of November 2024. Can anyone help me out with this issue please? It's a CPID unit and I'm currently in Pakistan. And the phone model is SM-S928U.

But you can manually flash it to the latest update.

Can't risk it myself. Have to go to the market. And yes, the Samsung smartwatch isn't working for me through macbook. Will find a window laptop to do it with.

I used to have s20fe. Cpid, unlock from US. And that was a carrier firmware lock device. Meaning I could use any Sim. But can't update unless I update through AT&T servers via their Sim. Even that was unlocked cpid phone.

But you've checked mine it's not a firmware locked device right?

There are multiple types of CPID. Some go away after reset; some don't. In some, you can use Secure Folder, and in some, you can't. In some, your banking app works; in some, it doesn't.

So, i can do all three in this. It's not going away after reset, i can use secure folder and i can use banking apps, all of them on this one.

So your best option is to manually update via Smart Switch or via manual firmware flash. Don't worry, it is not that hard. Watch a good YouTube video multiple times.

Right. Thanks buddy. I'll message you if there's any issue. Hope I'll get a reply back from you.

[Shahzaib-Ali-hai]

Yep, absolutely. I'll be there for you.

Pro tip: Use the home_CSC file in Odin, and then your data will be safe. But still, make sure to back up your data. If you don't know what I am saying, don't worry; after watching some videos, you will know.
