I would like to know which models exist on the galaxy a50 and which region it is marketed
Versions:
SM-A505F/DS,
SM-A505FN/DS (Global);
SM-A505GN/DS
A505G (Latin America) will also work in N. America
A505U (USA/) due out very soon
A505W (canadian)
Does anyone know the bands of the a505U?
I've found the a505G and a505F but nothing on the bands of the a505U.

You may want to check with Verizon/Sprint. I believe this is a CDMA/GSM USA phone.

Hello Everyone,
I have the SM-G985F/DS in Canada. The current CSC is XSP/XSP,XSP/XSP.
This phone is the international variant. Can someone please guide me on how I can change the CSC? I am a total noob. I would like Samsung Pay/ VoLTE to work. Preferably Fido CSC or Unlocked Canada, some bands aren't working properly.
If this isn't possible will I get updates for my phone?
This has been a big headache.
The phone is Exynos and I'm in a Snapdragon country.
Thanks

Since you're using an Exynos phone in a country where they officially sell the Snapdragon variant, you won't be able to flash the Canadian CSCs since they're only available for the Canadian variant.
VoLTE should work after you insert your SIM and reboot the phone, I've seen multiple reports of VoLTE no longer requiring the correct CSC to function.
Messing with band support is almost impossible on Exynos variants and I believe Samsung Pay requires the correct CSC to work so you're out of luck there.
All this aside, you will still get OTA updates based on when they're released for the XSP CSC.
Hi guys,
i've been wanting to change the CSC of the S20+ I bought in Taiwan. I wanted to have the snapdragon variant of the S20+ but now it seems some features are not included in this version compared to the European models of the S20+.
I am missing integrated Hiya service for example.
Is it possible to flash the firmware for the European models on my Taiwanese model S20+?
If yes... how?
Thanks

You cannot as they are 2 different models. However you need to change the csc from BRI Taiwan TGY Hong Kong to get Hiya service and any additional ones like Volte and WiFi calling. Please search and you will find thread detailing about how to change your csc.
Sorry newbie here.
Do all US s20 variants (Verizon, ATT, Sprint, Tmobile) the same hardware to access all cellular bands if the correct firmware is installed?
For example.... If I had a ATT s20 and flashed the firmware to Sprint would I be able to access all of the bands required for Sprint like CDMA?
Thanks!
I have a Note10+ with the model SM-N975U (USC). Am I able to change the firmware to model SM-N975F (XID)?
I lookup in sammobile, SM-N975U is for USA. and it affect my signal strength. By the way, those model have different processor.
Even I have the same question..
I have S20Fe 5g
Model number- SM-G781U, which has USA csc (XAA).. and doesn't support Indian network bands
So I want to flash my firmware with a different model number,- that is SM-G781F
Which does have the Indian csc (INS)
So can I do that? Or will it brick my device?

same answer to both of you, no you can not because those U and F devices do not have the same soc, they are basically completely different devices from the inside.
I want to flash a different region firmware (in this case korean) on my device, an s20 plus unlocked (with csc xaa). The reason is that I wish to unlock 5g band n78 that the us firmware of my device does not support. I know that I cannot flash a european exynos firmware, but the korean model SM g986n has the same soc (snapdragon 865) and is single sim. In another thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flashing-from-sm-g986n-to-sm-g986u1.4072579/) the owner of a Korean s20 plus attempted to do the opposite and supposedly failed, because its korean model lacked mmwave 5g antennas that the american model supports (albeit probably calibration on the chipset is different). So thit is my question: is the reverse operation possible? Do I risk to brick the phone because of hardware limitations? Do I have to unlock the bootloader to flash the korean firmware or samsung frp tool could do the trick? I am open to suggestions here, thank you in advance.
