Hope someone can help,

I have an S24 Ultra on UK Vodafone network. I know it's locked to Vodafone software as it says EUX-VOD for software. My phone says its up to date on MAY security update. Smart switch says the same. Is my phone up to date or is something wrong?

Honestly I don't think flashing an unlocked UK version would be straight forward. A few years ago it would have been easier to flash but now it's more complicated. Personally I wouldn't due to the potential of bricking the phone and triggering Knox. I'm wondering if the repair place flashed a European Vodafone firmware by mistake?

I have attached the software info for my phone so hopefully that can help? Flashing software I have done before but I'm fully aware it's risky as don't want an expensive brick if it goes wrong.

It's Dual Sim but only use eSIM on Vodafone network.

So it's the same model number as mine, when I Google your baseband version it comes up on various websites saying Singapore or Indonesia or Russia, very strange 🤔

That's exactly what I found! It said lots of different countries but never the UK. That's why I thought I would ask as it just seems all very weird. Any recommendations?

You're missing two security updates.1723326331356_1723326331351_0.jpg

I would point it out to Vodafone and explain it is not a UK firmware, are you able to check the imei numbers match from the box to the ones on your handset?

The IMEI matches the box it came in. So is any way can trick the phone into thinking it's local for now to get the updates?
