[11/APR/22] CVD2. Bugfix update

[ironass]

Hot on the heels of the 4th April update, CVCG, for the April Security patch that is currently being released, Samsung has begun rolling out an even newer CVD2 bugfix release for the S21 series of international devices.

Initially, as always, this is a staged rollout to the non-carrier branded, stock Samsung CSC codes first.

The Galaxy S21 international devices that will receive this update are...

• S21 5G model SM-G991B
• S21+ 5G model SM-G996B
• S21 Ultra 5G model SM-G998B

This latest release replaces the previous G99*BXXS4CVCG build on the international devices.

Changelog

• Bug fixes

It is a FOTA, (Firmware Over The Air), update and you can check... Settings > Software update... to see if it is available for you. Alternatively, you can connect to the Samsung PC suite, Smart Switch and check via that.

Are you confusing this CVD2 update with the older, 4th April, update CVCG which has been released for the U.K. devices, today? (see screenshot, below)

Nothing currently showing on Samsung's servers for the CVD2 update for the U.K.

It is the 4 April CVCG security update  that I have just received.

@JAMES4578 

That sounds right as the CVCG update is rolling out to the stock Samsung, non-carrier branded devices with the U.K. code = BTU. Nothing so far, for the carrier branded U.K. phones.

I have a feeling that the release of this new update, CVD2, within a week, will cause a lot of confusion with some users.

Now released for the U.K. unbranded S21 devices on CSC code BTU and unbranded for France on XEF.

[ironass]

Also available for XEO, stock Samsung unbranded firmware for Poland.

No news for U.K. carrier branded users for either the CVCG April security update or this CVD2 bugfix update.

[ironass]

U.K. carrier branded users on CSC code EVR for EE/BT are now receiving this latest CVD2 update and bypassing the earlier CVCG update.

U.K. users on CSC code VOD for Vodafone are now receiving this update.
