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!

does anyone know if I can install T-mobile firmware on my International N9005? I currently have T-mobile service but I'm not getting LTE speed and Wifi calling is not there.
I have a ATT S9, and since the hardware across the carriers are the same, will flashing my att phone to that of Tmobile or unlocked firmware unlock band 71? Thanks.
IT shoudl be enabled when you insdert the tmo sim
Thank you. I just flashed the unlocked firmware and can confirmed that band 71 was activated for tmobile.
Hello, I have a Galaxy SM-G960UZKAVZW, The Verizon model, and it is unlocked. I use this phone GSM in Peru, but It noticed that I can not switch freely between 4G and 3G like I could in a S8 Tmobile model.
So I have to Flash other firmware, if it is possible, I don't want any carrier logo so I need to know what firmware I have to choose. I looked into Sammobile for G960U and found:
Spint (cdma) (SPR)
USA (TMK) MetroPCS
USA (USC) US Cellular
USA (T-Mobile) (TMB)
USA (Verizon) (VZW)
Unknown (BST) Bosst Mobile
Unknown (CCT)
Unknown (XAS) Sprint XAS
Virgin Mobile USA (VMU)
What firmware I have to choose, or I need to choose a G960U1?
Then, I have to do wipes?
Thanks.
Use the one for the SM-G930U1 with CSC code XAA and flash with the modified odin found here on the forums
Can a unlocked Galaxy S9 with U1 firmware be activated and unlocked on sprint?
I've looked up all the bands and radios and it does have it.
As far as I know it should work fine. The US version of the GS9 should work with CDMA or GSM.
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.
