Hello,
I am planning to buy S20+ 5G model from Amazon Germany (apparently it is cheaper in Germany) and use it in the UK.
Do I need to change firmware to get the phone working in UK network?
Can I just flash UK CSC in Odin, without flashing whole firmware?

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
I have an unlocked US TMO S20 5G that I would like to reset and use in Spain with my Spanish SIM card, but not with all the US TMO firmware etc.
Can I flash a Spanish unbranded/unlocked firmware or should I flash the unbranded US firmware?
Assuming I can flash the Spanish firmware, what are the procedures?
Thanks!
Spanish Firmware isn't compatible with Snapdragon devices, it's designed to operate alongside Exynos Chipsets. You may want to flash the US Unbranded Firmware SM-G981U1 and go from there.
Hi guys,
I have the Samsung S20 Ultra - EExynos - SM-G988B/DS (Turkey) ,,, If I install another country's firmware and CSC, is there any problem?
Until now, S20 Ultra android 12 is not rolled for Turkey, but for other countries.
If I install UK, Germany, Spain or any other country,
In the future, will I receive updates faster than Turkey?
Thank you.

I don't think so. Uk , Germany, Spain and other countries are OXM. Turkey isn't.
And no you have to download the firmware yourself and use Odin to flash it on your Phone.

Thank you for replying.
If I flashed Vietnam rom, Will I be able to receive updates in the future, or manually via Odin? The device is not rooted.

You are talking about S20 Ultra. I have a S20+ 5g.
Try to find a Multi-CSC for some of the countries and regions (“O” refers to Open).
I don't know for your model there is one: Turkye and Vietnam. So google for Multi-CSC for your model Phone and countries.
