Hello and awesome Easter everyone!
I live in Norway and used to have an Asus ROG Phone II until last week, I swapped it with a Note 10+ 5g Korean edition.
The phone is working nice and it is A LOT BETTER than the ROG, that phone is a powerhouse, but the software, not so much...
With this phone I have a few problems:
•Lots of stuff in Korean
•Cannot save home numbers with country code or the contact name won't show when anyone calls or text.
•Norwegian language not fully supported.
Everything else works flawlessly and I love the phone so I wonder if there is anyway I can fix this, even if I have to root, it's not a problem. Been thinking if I could flash firmware from the 975f as it 8s the same soc.
Will be very appreciated if someone could help me with this!
Have no problems with flashing and rooting, just don't do it for a long time. Thanks in advance!
Is it carrier branded? If so, try flashing the KOO csc firmware, that may help with some of your issues.
You can't flash the N975F firmware, as it's not meant for the 5G variant.
The N976B model is the 5G variant, but it also cannot be flashed to the N976N.
I have KOO installed now and i have all the "problems". I know the 976b have snapdragon 5g modem and i have exynos. Oh well gonna have to live with it! Thanks for the help!
SM-N976B is Exynos.
Edit: just curious, have you been able to get it working with 5G?
my sim is not 5g nor we have 5g in my area yet unfortunately
Same situation
i also have note10 + 5g korean version and i want to get rid of the korean SK blootware

.and some korean language in some of my settings app

You can use PD MDM package blocker to kill the bloatware at boot up. Useful to have.
Thanks it's work =)) not exactly what i wanted to but it's fine . I disabled all the korean blootware :good:
If you open a individual app in PD, in the upper left corner is a box. If you check it the PD MDM widget will toggle any checked app on or off.
If will clear data in apks better than doing it in Settings can; presumably PD leaves no nulls.
If you ever get the flashing screen warning thing *oh no* you need to deactivate PD MDM as system administrator.
PD runs in safe mode! It's been very stable and haven't seen this happen in years.

flash koo firmwere download through sammobile
I have bought SM-N976N but the seller had flashed SM-N975F firmware in it. I have now flashed it with KOO version of SM-N976N but my problem is that the phone is not recognizing sims or carrier in it (not even 3G or 4G) Ping test is always failing. BTW I am from Pakistan.
So my question is , Can I flash OXM version of SM-N976B cz my region will be covered in it. Because samsung has not launched a PAK version of firmware of SM-N976N.
Please help how will I be able to get my sims working in Pakistan with or without root? Please help anyone.

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.
Thanks

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.
I recently obtained a Samsung S20+ SM-G9860. However, I am in the US and am intending to flash the AT&T firmware for the SM-G986U. When I try to do this, I get a secure check fail on the PIT file due to the differing model. Is there a way to circumvent this? The two models have identical hardware from what I can see.
Is it possible to do this, and what is the process for doing this if it is indeed possible?
You cannot flash a rom built for a snapdragon chipset on a phone with a exynos chipset
Be thankful there is that safety check built in. Lol

It's not Exynos, it's also a Snapdragon.

It's the Hong Kong variant. It does appear to be a dual SIM, however.

The hardware isn't identical, SM-G986U is a Single SIM Device, your's is a Dual SIM.. TGY is the CSC in your device and even if you could flash SM-G986U Firmware the CSC would not change, it will still be TGY. If you're looking to get full AT&T call functionality on your device it's not possible as the CSC doesn't support AT&T compatibility. Firmware is CSC specific as well.

But mine has two IMEI numbers though 1 for physical and another for esim, HOWEVER the esim option to add another QR code for another network is not visible. Its like the device is locked for VERIZON esim use only.
Oh well, guess gotta wait for another few month for newer updates to be able to use another network esim or firmware flashing that can enable this option soon...

If your device is the SM-G986U it's a Single SIM Device which doesn't at this point doesn't support eSim. Does the SIM Management Screen actually display the word "eSim"? Share a photo please. The device is likely still locked by Verizon. What is your motivation to change the Firmware to SM-G9860, do you live in Hong Kong?
Im sorry unfortunately I cant post links for my screenshots or upload any pictures..

I bought my phone online.. When I start up my phone it says Verizon, but its unlocked though because I can use any country physical simcard. Like right now im using my local simcard in Malaysia. I live in Malaysia and the reason I want to flash rom my SM-G986U device to Hong Kong firmware is so that I can use any eSim network in my country for my other network phone number.... If its a software for eSim that I can get for firmware that will be very helpful. Because the main local Malaysian samsung s20+ 5G firmware model is base on Exynos 990 which I doubt will fit for my US phone model..
I don't think you can flash SM-9860 Firmware onto your device but even if you could you still won't have eSim capability. Mix and matching firmware typically has more success on Exynos International Variants since they are Multi-CSC Enabled Devices. So if you have a British CSC (VOD) you may have success flashing German Firmware (VD2) since both CSC's are already stored in the device however even then some call features may not work. Snapdragon Devices don't have Multi-CSC's and as mentioned previously the Firmware is CSC Specific, they're made for one another. IF you had an Unlocked Bootloader, which you don't, there may be a method to modify the CSC once you root the device.. I did follow a thread a couple of years back where a gal had some success modifying her CSC on a Snapdragon Device but I believe that was a Galaxy S8. Also, I'm still curious if the word "eSim" actually appears in the SIM Management Screen on your device.

Damn.. that is some nice insights.. I read a thread somewhere too that US SM-G986U cannot and will not be able to enable its OEM or unlocked bootloader.. the eSim actually doesnt appear in the Sim Management Screen on my device. I really want to upload some links of the screenshot but for now I cant do anything as Im a new member.. I just have to wait for the network shop to open up to change my current esim card to physical simcard.. its been 2 months plus of this coronavirus lockdown and our network providers cant do much about it too..
Anyways I really appreciate the insights, like you said even if I could flash in Hong Kong SM-9860 in to my US SM-G986U, I might run into some software or calls dysfunctionalities..
Anyone got th atct update for the sm-g9880 yet? Seems the u.s has got this update before Asia?

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.
I recently just bought a S20 Ultra that has a unlockable bootloader. A little while back, I had a Galaxy S9 that I could completely convert the entire device to U1. Is that even possible with this device ? To fully convert the CSC and bootloader ect, to a US model ?

That was then. Each model is specific to a region and can not be flash with software from another region. I.E you cannot flash G9880 with firmware from G988U or G988U1 or the other way around.
What exactly changed from the S9 to the S20 that made that impossible ?

Any luck? I just got one in Canada and it only has 3g ad 4g so I was hoping I could flash a csc file.
So I attempted to edit the band config using QPST and QXDM, but I'm very unfamiliar with both programs and how to actually read and write information to the modem using those programs. Definitely not for the average user. Back in the days when devices had ESN numbers, I used to flash software using QPST and QXDM but there is a lot that has changed with those programs, and I wouldn't even know how to do that stuff today. If anyone has any knowledge about those two programs that can help me unlock all the US 5G bands for AT&T and Verizon that would extremely helpful.

Hello Experts,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G purchased in Canada and not associated with any service provider. I am planning to use it in India and I have 2 SIM's in India. Samsung Canada Firmware does not have eSIM feature and there is no SIM Card Manager function in settings. Can I flash any other region firmware and have the eSIM feature enabled ?
The question should b e, does the snapdragon variant support e-sim, cos am stuck with a S20 +5g purchased in usa but no e-sim
Galaxy devices in India are typically Exynos variants which offer eSIM functionality. Flashing different firmware on a Galaxy S Series Snapdragon variant won't enable eSIM. None of Galaxy's Snapdragon variants except The Fold are eSIM capable.

all s20+ 5g should support esim. (esim is inegrated to a snapdragon chip) BUT some of them are dissabled by software. but such a models like 986U or 986V, for example, were lock by operator and you could not install a software from U1, that includes esim support. i might be wrong. i installed U1 soft to a 986W model (that was without esim support. Now, esim works perfect. s20+ updates online. samsung pay works correct, knox works as well)
