Hi i have a branded galaxy s9 on vodafone uk which i installed btu firmware on then relised i couldnt use wifi or 4g calling so reinstalled vod firmware now my question is how do i get back the firmware csc as this is missing in phone info app and i dont have 4g calling my product code and active csc are both as they should be many thanks
I have s9 bought from carphonewarehouse, XEU csc and it has WiFi calling in the settings after I rang Vodafone, they just updated my apn settings, im on the Vodafone network too. Only thing is 4g calling won't work without Vodafone branded phone.

My phone was brought from vodafone so is a branded phone until i played with it lol
Lol, was thinking of flashing the Vodafone firmware just to try out volte but judging by what you've just said sounds like it's not as easy as that [emoji848]

I've also had an unlocked phone from Samsung direct but on Vodafone. To get wifi calling just give them a call. No settings are sent to accept it's all done OTA. To get Volte or 4g calling whichever it is you do have to have the VOD csc. But I think it has to be the same version as your original firmware. I've just stuck the ARD4 official Vodafone firmware from Sammobile via Odin and it all works out the box. However when I was on the BTU firmware ARD4 all I did was put the ARD equivalent csc from Vodafone firmware via Odin. Used the home_csc file so no data deleted. However Everytime I restarted I got an annoying message saying some network features not available until I factory reset the phone. But Volte etc working so I was happy. Just waiting for Vodafone UK to update their firmware to BRE5 now.
Hope that helps.
P.s when installing the csc from Sammobile even though I selected the UK one the initial screen came up in German. But after restarting and clearing cache it came back to English.

Hello i have a couple note 7 my personal one is o2 branded but i need ee firmware for wifi calling. i dont yet want to install custom firmware i wanted stock ee firmware but using a faulty note 7 to test with it seems i cant install a different firmware other than the latest firmware for this serial number... is this correct and have we had any solutions yet?
Thankyou for your time and patience in advance
if you are on O2 the network doesn't support WiFi calling other than over their tugo app. they have never been on the leading edge of tech, same reason they once told me 3G was a failed tech and would never catch on.
so unless you are actually on EE you can't get WiFi calling, even if you swap to an EE firmware.

i am on EE using a o2 handset. i cant seem to flash the ee firmware. this is what i want to do but doesnt seem note 7 allows you to flash
For anyone interested I solved this issue by installing twrp, rooting, and installing the zip file from this guide it allowed me to choose my csc settings.

I successfully went to 2ARF4 on this and it's now a G960U1 but I'd like the AT&T wifi calling, is it possible to flash the AT&T software to gain that or does it have to be a AT&T branded device for their system to register it? If it's possible which OS version should I get, I don't see a ATT version of the one that's on here or anything that would be the alternative.
You can get Sprint S9 or S9+ variant unlocked through Ebay:
https://m.ebay.com/itm/SPRINT-SAMSU...?_trksid=p3984.m1561.l2649&_mwBanner=1&_rdt=1
Also can do Bad IMEI devices also.
After you're unlocked should convert to ATT software when you insert sim.

It hasn't converted to AT&T software on the U1 firmware I flashed. That's why I started the thread to see if anyone else has been able to

First SIM unlock the phone...
Then, Use an unlocked and generic firmware like g960usqs3brj6 and flash with newest Odin.... Use csc NOT home csc and do NOT insert a SIM....
Factory reset, boot phone and setup to home screen... Then just pop in an AT&T sim and click restart device. It should install everything you need for att. I am running att video calling and all other features on my g960u with the above firmware and have no problems... Lists ATT/ATT/SPR under service provider now... Good Luck!
Hi first post, please be gentle
I've got an s9 which is on EE UK, I flashed the phone with stock firmware, I did run into a couple of issues where when flashing the phone it got stuck on odm.img so I had to start again but using CSC and not home CSC so I lost everything
When the phone rebooted, it started up in German, so as I had my sim card in, it restarted in English
I'm using the following
G960FXXU2CSA2/G960FOXM2CSA2/G960FXXS2BRK3
Service provider SW SAOMC_SM-G960F_OXM_DBT_PP_0009
DBT/XEU/EVR
When I check for updates I get the following
Your current software version isn't supported. Visit a service centre
Can anyone help on how to put this right, I want to stay on stock firmware, not EE firmware
Thanks in advance
Good morning, I have a problem with my S9 model G9600 which came from the factory with the firmware of Hong Kong, however I tried to change the firmware for the one in Colombia because some voice services of the operators only work with the software of the country. But when trying to flash the part of CSC I mark the error and obviously the installation fails as in a kind of A brick because the logo of Galaxy S9 does not pass and is only solved by reinstalling the firmware with which it came from the factory; I have already made sure that the binary is the same, however I can not find a solution. I attach photos of the error.

are you having an identical issue? i ask that because resolutions are very specific. Flashing firmware from www.sammobile.com/firmwares is very commonly the fix for a great many issues, but id hate to have you go thru the trouble of doing so if its not necessary
I tried flashing using odin but didnt work. btw, im using SM-965U and currently residing in Thailand. I dont know if this is the reason why I cant update at all.
S9 message
I am in the U.S. and am getting the message that software isn't supported also. Is there any resolution to this problem?
In case it helps, I was having this same issue with my unlocked Galaxy Note 10+. I found this thread after searching. I had gotten into this situation by flashing CP/AP/BL from TMO firmware without also flashing TMO's CSC or USERDATA. I avoided CSC/USERDATA (I was using the home CSC) because I wanted to avoid wiping the phone.
When I finally gave up and flashed CSC and USERDATA, everything was back to normal.

what is the issue after you flash in Odin?
first of all i shoud state im over in the UK using SKY mobile(02 signal). So I picked up a used S9 last week and every thing seemed ok but i could not understand why is would not update from android 8 to 9. it turns out is a grey import sm960u USA phone and would not update unless the orig carrier sim was in and i was in the usa. i checked its imei and belived it to be on sprint SPR and downloaded the latest firmware and installed via odin. Now the phone will now not connect to my 4G, i have now found out that Sprint uses CMDA and not GSM that i require in UK .Stupidly i did not check which frimware version the phone was running before flashing it. Is there a USA firmware i can install which will get me back on 4g, maybe without carrier bloatware. i understand that i cannot flash it with sm960f firmware but maybe able to use sm960u1 firmware as this is the plain unlocked version
I've got an O2 Galaxy S9 and I'd like to use it with a Vodafone SIM in UK.
Is it just the firmware that would need changing or would the ROM need to be changed too?

the firmware contains the ROM, but the ROM wouldnt have been what prevented you from using this to its full potential. Technically, all youd really need to do is flash your carriers CSC and even maybe the HOME_CSC. If youre unfamiliar with those terms and/or processes, just flash the Vodafone firmware with the CSC (which will factory reset it) and call it a day

Hi Youdoofus,
Thanks for your help.
Can I just run this past you then.
The phone came brand new from O2 and is not locked to the network.
I'm using a Vodafone SIM in the phone and I have trouble receiving SMS, making 4G calls, etc.
I understand what it is to flash the phone with new firmware although I've never done it before.
If I flash the phone with the latest Vodafone firmware and Vodafone or generic CSC that should be enough to get the phone working ok with the Vodafone SIM?
Sorry if the question seems basic. This is obviously not my area of expertise.

no worries mate. nobody is innately knowledgeable about this stuff, even the seasoned linux vets can stumble about a bit.
but yes, all you really need to do is flash the Vodafone or generic/multi csc and youll probably be good to go. the reason your sms isnt working is likely due to your APN settings and voLTE wont work without your carriers own CSC installed tho. That being said, many of the multi CSC firmware packs will do the job quite nicely as they will likely have Vodafones CSC in their list of available CSCs. It would be different if you used a fly by night carrier
I flashed mine with unbranded generic UK firmware BTU-G960FXXU7CSK1-20191121174240.zip.
