Help me Update my tablet please! - Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer

Hey Folks
I got my tablet from work it's not a US model...the only way I can tell is that my Samsung free app is not in english lol. All the channels are in like some slavic language it seems.
But the issue is its stuck on Android 11 with a January 1st security patch. I've been looking up firmware updates to flash using odin and I'm unsure as to which one I should use.
my CSC code is OXM
if someone could please point me in the right direction I'd like that.
Also a stock rom would be great. I have to be ready to turn it back in to the company at any point.

If it belongs to your company, then you need to take it to the IT department and let them upgrade it.

That is not an option, I work for Samsung and the tablet is supposed to be for work use only. They won't help. I can do it myself, I just haven't been in the modding have for awhile

Wait. You work for Samsung and was issued a tablet by Samsung for work and it won't update to Android 12; nor will Samsung update it.
That makes no sense and does not pass the smell test.

Ok now that that's out of the way...
Like I said. I can do it myself, but I'm just looking to be pointed in the right direction.
No Samsung won't help, after 9 years with the company I know they're just going to say that
"An update isn't necessary for the use that the tablet serves."
I'm using as a personal tablet though, by luck of the draw they sent me a work tablet that's from Europe. It's stuck on Android 11.
I can't find any info on updating a tablet with an OXM country code

That is for the Note 8s. NOT the Galaxy Tab S7/S7+. The Note 8s NEVER had Android 11, it never went past Android 4.4.

The article I posted just refers to a Samsung worker who goes by the name of wizky911. That was the only point

Yes. I haven't "claimed" to work for Samsung for 9yrs.

I just want to know if there's a stock ROM for CSC OXM. I can't seem to find it. And if it's possible to change the CSC without bricking it

What does that post have to do with this? I told you, if the tablet is a work tablet and YOU work for Samsung, then talk to your company's (Samsung) IT department.

Nothing in this thread is violating forum rules or is suspicious. I'd appreciate if replies to the thread are limited to posts that add value to support the OP in solving his issue. Thanks for your cooperation.

OP, have you stumbled on an obstacle where you can't flash using Odin? If not, you're imagining a wall that is not there.
OXM is a group of CSC's, in phones it is very partitioned to regions, i.e, most of Asia and all of Europe is included in OXM, and maybe Africa too. However, Tablets are a lot more fluid in this aspect.
If you have an OXM Tablet, which you do, and a WWD CSC, nothing stops you from flashing any OXM firmware to your device. Unless it's KNOX Enterprise tied. I do however see that there is no information for WWD as a CSC. If WWD means KNOX Enterprise, what i would do is try to contact the person that actually manages it.
If the tablet is not Enterprise locked, I suggest you grab Frija (a tool that downloads the latest firmware from Samsung servers), also grab the latest Samsund USB drivers, and lastly Odin (this one is a Samsung tool that leaks out in no time).
1. Download Frija, and download any OXM Rom with it, i.e. SM-T970, CSC: EUX. The app will download, CRC check the zip, and then all you have to do is unpack the zip package.
2. Assuming you downloaded and installed the Samsung USB Drivers already, turn off the tablet, Open Odin up, connect the tablet to the PC after running Odin, and hold Volume Down and Power Button. You will be presented with some text to press Volume Up to continue, and after that you will be in Download Mode. Odin should give you a Green or Blue light with COMX (X being a number), that means that there's a connection between your phone and Odin to flash the rom on it.
3. Load all relevant files from the unpacked ZIP to odin. BL to BL, AP to AP (this one will take a while, dont close odin if it looks like it's crashing), CP to CP, and HOME_CSC to CSC.
4. Start the Flash. If it works, your good, if it doesn't, no harm will be done.
If by any chance Odin fails, or Download Mode is not reachable, then you most definitely have a KNOX Enterprise managed device. I would advise you to now roam around looking for a workaround to take that off, first, you cant, second that puts you on a very dodgy position.
You'll be updated to October Patch, Android 12L, One UI 4.1.1.
Android 13 / One UI 5.0 is on the test firmware already, so that one is right around the corner too.
EDIT: Getting some mixed research about WWD. S22 in US seems to use it as a COMBO under a Group, like Europe is moving all countries (DBT, BTU, etc), to EUX under OXM. WWD seems to be for US models, but still, this is Phones. Another source is saying WWD is "Demo Units", stuff that is shown in Shops.

Yes I'll try this today. This may be a retail demo from Europe which would explain a lot.
I'll try the steps you've mentioned and hope for the best. Thank you.
