One UI 7 is not available yet in Canada for S23 Ultra

[RLakhani]

I don't get it why samsung can't release a single update on time , agreed ,there were delays but there is always extra delays for Canada .

This was the same case with one ui 6 and 6.1 and now with ui 7 too. Why , when UK,USA,Middle East and Asian regions like India have got it but Canada is too late 😢.

Pls Samsung, I guess people with s23 won't buy the next gen if you do it like this in Canada .

Bummer! VPNs don't work for One UI 7 updates—it's all about your device's country of origin. 😩 #OneUI7 #Samsung #Update #VPN #Problem #Tech

You know if you dont want to wait do what i did with my Telus SM-S918W and flash the XAA U1 firmware for the US to get android 15 and one ui 7. It chanages your device CSC to U1 instead of W but its the same software and you dont need an unlocked bootloader to do this.

Can you explain it to me precisely how exactly you did it ??

Download & PATCHED (NOT regular) Odin, Samsung's USB Drivers.

Download the CORRECT Samsung firmware to your computer. 

Extract the .tar files from the Firmware you downloaded & save them to a folder on your computer's desktop. 

Open PATCHED Odin & insert the extracted .tar files into the correct slots in Odin (I find that Flashing them one at a time works best). 

⚠️Have a Smart Switch Backup BEFORE you begin ⚠️

Put your phone into Download Mode & Connect to your computer. 

Copy & Paste the BL .tar into the BL slot in Odin ⚠️Make sure that only Reboot & Reset Time are ticked in Odin You should see a Blue box with the .tar file Added.. Click on Start, wait until you see the Green "PASS" in Odin. 

Do the same for AP, CP & CSC. 

Some of them take longer than others to Flash. Be patient & Don't disconnect the phone from your computer until finished.

I may have skipped a step, but it's early and only one coffee.. 

There's probably YouTube videos on how to Flash Firmware. 

You can get Patched Odin from XDA, Samsung's USB Drivers from Samsung's Website on Sammobile.

Still waiting for the update for my s23u. The is now beyond ridiculous now. Does anyone have any update on timelines?

[RedDogRabbit]

Too many people are posting guesstimates.. All I can say is that One UI V7.0 for the S23 series has been released in the US, but there's a lot of other countries that are still waiting as well. 

Honestly, I think that I might prefer it, if my S25 Ultra was running One UI V6.1.1 at the moment.. One UI V7.0 isn't THAT much of an update.. There's still a number of things that need to be fixed.

I'm more concerned about security updates than just the UI

[RedDogRabbit]

Yeah, I agree with that... my S25 Ultra was stuck on October 1st Security Patch until March, maybe April 1st!

People who are suggesting that Samsung delayed the One UI V7.0 update, because Samsung wanted to sell more S25 series devices are delusional.. it's pretty clear that Samsung has been in a state of disarray with the One UI V7.0 update.. And I'm pretty sure that it's all related to A.I....

I wish I could get a vivo phone to work with all the bands in Canada. I would definitely switch
