  • You say there are many versions of Quran before Uthman and you ask are there any other version that survive now? There is a big contradiction here.

  • @hellzone You missed the "Before that". And @ OP "Before that there are many versions of Quran." needs reference.

The lower text of the Sana'a manuscript is, as far as I know, the only existing example of pre-Uthmanic Qur'an available today. Uthman's text was standardized very early in Islamic history; every live copy, and pretty much every historical manuscript, we have to date is based on the Uthmanic tradition.
