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.

Hi,
I bought a carrier locked T-Mobile Galaxy S9 mobile(SM-G960U) and unlocked it in India.
My Indian carrier SIM(Airtel) now works.
However, my CSC is fixed to USA.
Is it possible to change the CSC to India?
Regards,
Harsha
I am looking for a similar solution
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.
Can you please tell me if it is possible to change CSC (possibly without tripping KNOX) on imported S20+ SM-G9860 to some unbranded CSC in other Snapdragon region? Thank you.

You're in Slovakia correct? You may be able to change from TGY (Hong Kong) to BRI (Taiwan) and visa versa but not any US or Canada Regions. Only Exynos devices have multiple CSC's for your region.
Yes, mate. That is correct.
I was hoping to hear about possibility to switch to US or CAN. Thank you for coming back to me.
ask here man

Hong Kong variant bootloaders are unlocked. Contacted Wandamobile based in Hong Kong a few days back and they claimed the SM-G9860 and SM-G9880 they offer are Hong Kong devices. The CSC on Hong Kong variants is TGY. Based on my research most retailers offering these models are actually selling the Taiwan variants, CSC BRI which is also bootloader unlocked. Some users have flashed TGY firmware on BRi devices with mixed results. I would recommend the Hong Kong variant but use due diligence with the retailers, they may not know or misrepresent what they actually stock. Stay away from the China variant, it not compatible with numerous apps.
I asked wondamobile - and they say galaxy s20& 20+ Hongkong version, bootloader is locked ?
anybody buy a galaxy s20 snapdragon from wondamobile in last time, which Hongkong firmware -and was positiv to unlock bootloader?
Mine is also from Wondamobile and it's unlocked. But it's a korean snapdragon model g988n!

Hi everyone,
I bought a S20+ 5G from USA but I live in France.
The firmware is : SM-G986U so my SIM card is not compatible on the network.
I think that the France firmware looks like SM-985F.
Is there a way to change the version of the phone to put it in France ?
Thanks for your help,
Mike
No way. its impossible
