Hi, I have an S22 ultra which my friend gifted from US. Now I am in Canada and I am not getting any updates and I am stuck at android 12 and one ui 5. What should I do to get the updates?

What's the model number of your device, ie: SM-xxxxx in Settings > About Phone?

You could always download the US Firmware to your computer & Flash it with Odin. 

Or, you could "make it a Canadian device" by downloading the Correct Canadian firmware to your computer & Flash it with Patched Odin.

Yes Odin is a Samsung Tool, it's not a 3rd party app. 

You can download both the US Firmware & Odin from Sammobile.

I tried, but I am not able to get the software for the specific model that I have. Also wanted to know something else as well. My CSC is provided XAA. Is that why the problem?

Try this app, it's called Frija, and you may need to update once you install it on your computer. When you run it, run it as Administrator on Windows. 

It's also A LOT FASTER than Sammobile for Firmware downloads. 

Your CSC is dependent on what Carrier your device is with, but you'll need to use the US Carrier that the device was originally with to download the US "U" Firmware. 

And you'll need to enter the US CSC in Frija as well. 

The CSC "XAA" is for US Unlocked devices.

Forgot to include the link for Frija:
