S20FE Not Updating

[Annimousey]

Hello all.

My S20FE has not updated from OneUi 3 and Android 11. It always says that I'm using the latest software. I've tried factory resetting the phone and using Smart Switch to no avail.

I'm in the UK. Never lived anywhere else. I reside here permanently. It's where I bought my phone brand new. 

I checked the service provider software version and it says ZT0/ZTO,ZTO/EUX . However, when I use the dialler method to check the same information it says the CSC is BTL3.

I researched and ZTO seems to refer to Brazil. I've never been to Brazil or anywhere in that vicinity so I don't know why it says ZTO as the service provider information.

Could this be why I'm having issues updating? If the phone thinks it's Brazilian then it would stop me updating if I'm in the UK? Is that correct?

Samsung suggested I send it to them to flash the drive but they require a proof of purchase and as I bought the phone over 2 years ago I can't for the life of me find the original order email.

Just for clarification the phone has never been rooted or modded and all software etc is "official."

Please help before I tear my hair out.

You mentioned the phone was purchased here in the UK, which retailer did you buy it from. The place you purchased (Amazon Marketplace seller) it from could be selling imported phones from another region/country

[Annimousey]

It was from Carphone Warehouse (now part of Currys.)

Unfortunately, samsung has stopped updates for the galaxy s20fe.. annoying I know

[Annimousey]

Are you sure? Everywhere I've read says that the S20FE is updatable to OneUi 5 etc.

[tobles123]

Huh. You're right.. one UI 5 was its last major update, then its security updates after. Strange

[Annimousey]

Already tried and nothing. 😞

No solution yet unfortunately. 

Annimousey - how did you get in touch with Samsung? By phone? If so, what number in the UK did you use please? Thanks!

Android 13 one ui 5.1 is the latest, i have the s20fe 5g snapdragon.if its a foreign import then you should contact curry's and explain you should of got told if it wasn't for the u.k, have you tried a vpn and set it to Brazil? Apart from that find the receipt if you can go to your email and search carphone warehouse or curry's
