You can't, because the last bit is the original CSC you cant change that without rooting the phone, as long as the first 2 are XEU then you can register for the beta and join their update path ...

Apologies the official beta uk or the update.zip ... View more

Fair enough, I wasn't too sure on my last bit, I read on some other forums it would cause issues since it isn't unlocked, but thanks for letting me know ... View more

Is that official or is that the update.zip? ... View more

I'm not sure what it stands for, but essentially if it has BTU firmware out of the box, it will be unlocked to all networks, If it's locked to a network and you flash BTU firmware onto it, it won't unlock the phone, and it will probably cause a lot of mayhem on the phone, the CSC is simply the software that you are running, but if your phone is unlocked like mine (It's three's policy that all Thier phones are unlocked) I can flash BTU on there with no issues and have acess to the updates sooner as it doesn't have the tailored software on it ...

Yeah it's not down to what SIM card you have in the phone, if the phone is factory unlocked and from samsung it will be BTU (which is just the software on the phone) my phone was originally bought on contract with three, so I had bloatware, and logo on bootup etc, but I was running a slightly different software on my phone, each network like to have Thier own stuff built into the software, meaning it's not just stock software like you get on SIM free/bought directly from samsung, I flashed BTU on my phone and it's now allowed me to be eligible for the beta as I now have stock firmware and I follow the BTU/XEU update path, this is also the reason why you sometimes have to wait ages for updates on certain networks as they can be very slow to do what they want to do to the updates. ...

Yep, BTU is unlocked ... View more

Okay, so yours is definetly eligible for the beta, still unsure if XEU will be eligible :/ ... View more

Next dumb question then, where would I find the stock BTU firmware? For the s9 (SM-G965F) ... View more

So if I use a BTU firmware to change my phone from H3G it would put it to stock firmware, it wouldn't trip knox and the device firmware would stay as Official still? ... View more

See the reason I went for a contract phone this time is because three did a deal and over the 2 years it worked out cheaper than buying the phone outright including the tarrif, wish I had spent the extra now and not worried about carriers being a$$holes -.- ... View more

Looks like I'm going to miss out on the beta being a H3G phone, :/ don't want to flash it as I'll trip knox and not be able to use banking,  it's a shame we got lots of contradictory information yesterday, unfair on people on locked networks, I'll just but my phone outright next time...... ...

Mines not a BTU it's a H3G (three network) but mine is factory unlocked, as three's policy is all Thier phones are unlocked, I am praying it means I can get the beta still :/ ... View more

That's funny that is, because we all got told earlier that all carriers would get the update regardless of network? :/  ... View more
