So, I purchased a phone used from a refurbisher. A regular Galaxy s24. The phone was originally carrier locked but was then unlocked so it basically has the model number of a locked phone and the Firmware region code (or whatever it's called, sorry I'm new to all this) of an unlocked phone. It's as follows:
Model name - SM-S921U
Service provider software version - SAOMC_SMS921U_OYN_XAA_14_0014
When I go to the various sites where firmware for android 15/One UI 7 is available, there's no results when I search for my model number (SM-s921U) and then try to narrow it down to (XAA). It just shows nothing because the unlocked software doesn't match the locked model number (I guess).
Am I doing something wrong? Is there firmware that's safe to use for this dilemma? Do i just have to wait until it's available? What's going on here. I was using AI to figure all this out but it keeps telling me I can find SM-S921U XAA firmware on all these different websites and I can't.
Thanks for any insight or help. It's very much appreciated as this has been a massive headache and it's 1 in the morning lol
