I have the Canadian version of S20. How do I check the supporting LTE bands? Carrier info seems inaccurate.
What's the service code?
I don't know how to get all single band support but i know how to get Carrier Aggregation combinations listed from Samsung devices. I guess you have Qualcomm edition in Canada so here is instruction to get log file: https://mt-tech.fi/en/how-to-get-4g...ons-from-your-android-phone/#Qualcomm_devices . If you like, please share to me (https://cacombos.com/contribute) so i can add your model supported Carrier Aggregation combinations to my site.

Easy, use Samsung Band Selector application
Hi Olkitu,
I had a S20 Ultra SM-G9880 from Hong Kong. I used the phone in Austria for about 1 Month. Everything worked fine in Austria, but I had the problem with CA with my provider.
My phone did not have all the combinations of CA from my provider.
Because of that I sold my phone. Can you edit the CA combinations of a Sm-g9880?
If yes I would by another time phone, because it is perfect for me.
Thanks and regards

I don't know how to edit carrier aggregation combinations of Samsung but we can get all supported supported combinations out. If you like just provide BandInfoXXX file from your device i can list then supported combinations of your phone? Here is instruction: https://mt-tech.fi/en/how-to-get-4g...ons-from-your-android-phone/#Qualcomm_devices
You can send then log file to https://cacombos.com/contribute . This help us to see what carrier aggregation combinations phones support.

I think if you changed your csc to tiwan "BRI " it should solve your problems, because Hong kong firmware "TGI" doesn't support CA but Tiwan firmware does so buy the device again but change the Firmware to BRI tiwan

Hi,
Thats true and not
I changed with the program samkey or so my csc.
After that i had the 5g option, caller ID and CA.
But the problem was the combination of CA. It did not paired Band 20 and Band 3. Only Band 20 and Band 7 or Band 7 and 3.
I described it in my other Postings.
I hope there is someone who can edit the CA combinations.

I you still have Caller ID then it is still hongkong firmware , tiwan version dont have caller ID so I think you should have clean flash of the tiwan firmware after changing the csc

I have read your linked thread before , but I want to ask one last question, how do you test Carrier aggregation from your phone and how you test the active bands for Carrier aggregation my device is a Tiwan version and it is doing CA between band 3 & Band 8
In the menu *#0011# there you can see how is the CA status and with which Band it is paired.
I tried my sim with an exynos version and could see that band 20 is paired with the other bands.
With the sm-g9880 band 20 was not paired with other bands while CA. Only band 7 and band 3 were paired.

I'm currently on Tiwan firmware with BRI csc and my device is doing Carrier aggregation on Band 8 & band 3
attached picture
My device also paired band 3 and band 7.
The problem was the pairing with Band 20 because band 20 ist for the long distance.
There are also people in Australia who also have the problem.
@hoss_n2 what country and region were you successfully using CA at? I read that you changed from TGY to BRI.
I'm currently on T-Mobile USA and wondering if changing CSC to BRI will enable CA for me.

Did anyone confirm if changing csc tgy to bri changed the carrier aggregation combo files ? I don't think it does. Only way to check would be to examine the CA combos for bri and tgy to compare. No point in changing csc or flashing it they are the same.

Hi,
c
You have to use the same model to flash in Odin. 976B is not 976N.
You can flash the KOO firmware for 976N which is the unbranded version (I bought it myself at a Samsung shop in Seoul).
I tried to flash with 976B and got errors. I flashed with KOO 976N but srill i have brand of KT when i start the phone also some settings of KT.
No idea why KT still stays after flashing

Right, because 976B is not the phone you have. You can't use a different model firmware.
Sounds like you need to change the CSC to KOO after boot up.
I used CSC for KOO byr still no lick
Let me know which CSC maybe i am doing something wrong

You said you flashed KOO firmware. That is not the same thing as switching CSC after booting up.
There is a phone menu to change the CSC. You need to do this, which will change the CSC setting on the EFS partition which is what you need to do.
Woow thank you for that. Now this is new and i didn't know it. Can you help me and let me know where to change CSC.

The SM-N976N has 4 CSC options built-in. KOO is the unbranded Samsung code. There are 3 for the 3 major carriers in Korea: SK Telecom, kt Olleh, and LG U+
No I did not change my CSC because I bought my phone in a Samsung store in Seoul.
I have KT one , when i switch one says 5G and under screen KT.
also in setting. I am trying to find the way to change the CSC from KTC to KOO
Active KTC
Edit
Ohhh no way that bad
For me only Samsung pay ,5G, start up the phone, phone can't recognize my number rather than that everything else is perfect.
I am trying to find way to change CSC to KOO, hopefully will work

Do you mean your N10+ doesn't connect to the 5G network even if it's present and working in your zone?
Yes i don't see 5G at all even covered in my country. Always LTE+
Weird.. where are you from?
Our model is 5G, I suppose SM-976B only is suitable for 5G networks over asian countries, hope someone could tell me I'm wrong...

I don't know the specs of the B variant, but my N variant 5g worked in Korea just fine. Haven't been able to test it in the USA yet because T-Mobile doesn't have any 5g towers in my state yet.
In my country, UAE according to bands only N976N working since the are on same 5G band.
N976B isn't working with UAE network (5G). I bought and sold N976B.
Also now N976N is not working coz of carrier, KT from Korea.
Hi, I have a Note 10+ 5G from South Korea with CSC: KOO (unbranded). I live in London and use Vodafone UK which has many 5G spots arroung but my phone always tells me "LTE+". Any solution for that? my friend's N976B picks up 5G fine.

As far as i know the bands are compatible. Vodafone UK uses the n78 band 3500mHz which is used in south korea too. The phone came with "LG U+" CSC (LUC) but i changed it to KOO (Unbranded) with SamKEY tool. No knox trips and it lost all the bloatware from the carrier. The things which are not working are: Samsung Pay (don't care), Wifi- Calling (Option is not visible but i get VoLTE) and most importantly 5G.

Flashing the latest starwars released firmware for sm-n976n changed my csc to KOO from KTC. But 5G will not work outside Korea. I think it does not support n78 5g band. In Gsm arena you can check n78 is not mentioned there.
Due device Carrier Policy 5G is not enabled outside from Korea. Also in Korea could be different 4G CA Combinations defined to hardware. You can help to understand supported combinations by contributing this info here: https://cacombos.com/contribute

I have a SM-G9880 BRI (taiwan) version and using in Australia. I have all the 3G/4G options but I'm unable to select any 5G - even though the phone is a 5G phone. I know my carrier does not use 5G in my area at this time, so is it not showing any 5G options because 5G is unsupported? Is it SIM related or would it be because I have a BRI (taiwan) CSC? I know others in Australia with SM-G9880 TGY versions using 5G (on different carrier) and they have 5G options... Just confused whether the 5G options are disabled because of the SIM, or because of the CSC???
If its CSC related, I might try Samkey to change the CSC to TGY...

5G has not been activated on BRI csc as there is no 5G in Taiwan yet. Its best changing to TGY however you will only get 5G using sim tray 2 (meaning you will not be able to use SD card at the moment).

This is the method I used (creds to user jabreel.torrin in the S10 forums. I did modify this though to suit the S20U) - You don't need to Odin flash the TGY firmware as its identical to the BRI - only CSC needs to change from BRI to TGY :good:
1. Buy 3 credits (can't buy 2) from this seller that on ebay that I used : https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SamKey-Code-Reader-3-Credits-UNLOCK-Fast-Service/324110503100?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648
2. After buying the Samkey credits you will be emailed the username and password for the Samkey App (you need this!)
3. Enable developer options on your phone: Settings > About phone > Software Information > Tap "build number" 8 times or until you see a pop-up message that says "Developer mode has been enabled".
4. Turn on USB debugging on your phone: Settings > Developer options > USB debugging > Allow USB Debugging > Tap "OK"
5. Go to www.samkey.org and download the Samsung USB drivers (if you havent installed any samsung software on the PC already) and the Samkey application
6. Install the drivers first, and then install Samkey application on your computer > Connect your phone to your computer with a usb cable > Login with the username/password you received from the ebay seller.
7. Click the "Read Info ADB" button to make sure your phone has been accepted by ADB
8. Insert the CSC code you want into the "Change CSC (Buyer)" field > With the BRI SM-G9880 you want to insert TGY (where is shows PHN in the pic below)
9. Click the "Change CSC" button > Confirm that you want to spend 1 or 2 credits (for me it was 1, but some report 2 used).
Let the application do it's work after which it will reboot and then you're good to go. :fingers-crossed:
For me it was seamless and worked so easy. Zero complaints. 5 min later I had a TGY phone - and I have reserve credits for the next Samsung phone I need to change Hope this helps guys!

It's worked!!!! And it was super easy. Is it true that only Sim 2 works for 5G? I can see the 5G option on Sim 1 but haven't seen it connect. Not sure if it's cuz of no coverage or issue with phone Sim trays
I did this but I wouldn't recommend changing to TGY firmware as a Telstra user. You don't get band 28 700mhz carrier aggregation. So no 4gx . For some reason I only get it with the Taiwan CSC but you miss out on 5g , to me that is less of a big deal than no 700mhz band 28 pairing with other bands for 4gx. In other words you'll get 4g+ less with Hong Kong firmware but you'll get 5g.

Not at the moment.
Best to stay on Taiwan firmware as they appear to have 700mhz band 28 carrier aggregation and wait till they add the 5g option when their local networks commence it later this year. I'm told it's this time when Samsung will push a update to enable 5g capabilities to Taiwan firmware.

If you change your CSC, will your next firmware update me for that country. Like I have just changed from BRI to TGY... Will be next update automatically be the Hong Kong version of firmware? Or will it go back to BRI?

You won't get a over the air update if you CSC doesn't match your firmware. You'll have to change the CSC to match your firmware. So change to BRI Taiwan CSC to receive the Taiwan update and vise versa if you have the Hong Kong firmware

So my phone was BRI Taiwan version and all I did was buy the Samkey credits and change CSC to TGY to enable 5G. Does that mean no more updates for me until I change it back to Taiwan?
pafc66 said:
I did this but I wouldn't recommend changing to TGY firmware as a Telstra user. You don't get band 28 700mhz carrier aggregation. So no 4gx . For some reason I only get it with the Taiwan CSC but you miss out on 5g , to me that is less of a big deal than no 700mhz band 28 pairing with other bands for 4gx. In other words you'll get 4g+ less with Hong Kong firmware but you'll get 5g.

Band 28 is available in the carrier band selection options FYI :good::good:

You can check here the latest update.
https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-G9880/BRI/doc.html
Just change BRI to TGY or CHC if you want to check latest updates of Hong Kong or China CSC respectively.
Hmmm I need to change my CSC back to BRI as now they have 5G and better carrier aggregation.. but no method currently works. What a pain stuck on TGY

I use TGY as I get WiFi calling, VoLTE and caller Spam ID. I'm currently on TGY but I have flash the latest BRI software.

You mean you have g9880 hong kong TGY variant. But you flashed BRI firmware on that?
If yes then can you please tell
Before flashing BRI firmware, were you getting wifi calling, volte & caller spam id? Or you got these after flashing BRI firmware?

Thanks.. One more question. Does it have built-in call recording?
Any bloatware?
Actually, i am in india and want to buy hong kong variant as everyone saying its best. But curious about volte & wifi calling whether it will work in India or not. I haven’t found any person in India who use g9880[emoji3525]

There is no bloatware whatsoever on this model. This model does support WiFi calling and VoLTE but its whether your Service Provider supports it. There is no in call recording app native.
I have the S20+ Hong Kong version with the TGY csc, but I cannot get volte and vowifi to work. I am on Orange Romania and I know for a fact that my carrier does support these 2 features. I even have the option to turn them on in settings, but they do not do anything. As for 5g, this phone doesn't have the bands used in my country, nor the mmwave hardware so guess I'll never have it. But is there anything I can do to get volte and vowifi working?

If you are getting volte option in settings then you just need sim of operator which supports volte feature. Like I'm in India. If i do not have volte feature in my phone then I cannot make calls to anyone with my Jio sim(operator- Jio). But there are other operators like Vodafone, Airtel. These also support volte but also work without volte

Hi back... Any clue?
I'm struck. Could you please give me some help. I have imported SM-G988N Korean version in India because of Snapdragon. Initially I thought its a single physical SIM phone and eSIM can be activated by putting a request to my carrier since they have eSIM support. My carrier converted my one physical sim to eSIM but it never got activated on the phone. I rooted and If flash G9880 (HongKong) CSC will it get support of eSIM. ?? I desperately need second number activation or else I have to change my ULTRA as daily driver.
Its so important for me to stick to Ultra that I had to create a new thread for getting clarification/Help
G9880 (HongKong) No eSim Brother.

None and you wouldn't be able to change to any other csc other than KOO, KTC, LUC and SKC which are all Korean csc.
