Hey guys,
i just bought a Galaxy A50 which turned out, is not a EU model. Right now i have the A505F/DS Model and i want to change it to A505FN/DS
i saw a few tutorials where they say its possible, but i want a confirmation that it is still possible.
With having the "F" only model, i cant use a German (QWERTZ) keyboard and spotify + youtube bixby apps are showing vietnamese.
So if i were able to change the model numbers, would i actually have access to german keyboard + correct locations ?
Hi,
Has anyone managed to get call recording to work on any of the S20 phones?
Many of the call recording apps don't work, but I read somewhere that if you root the phone you can get it to record.
Another website mentions changing the CSC to one of the countries that allow call recording, for example Thailand. Apparently there is a built-in recorder in those countries' S20 phones.
Is there any way to get it to record?
Thanks!
S20+ in Thailand does have built-in voice recorder. Works as intended.

Can we change the CSC to enable this, by installing a Thai Sim or updating to a specific Firmware?
I ordered my S20+ from Vodafone Germany and also ordered a Thai Travel Sim to try this since it apparently worked on other Galaxy Phones in the past.
I hope I can configure the Phone without a Sim to order the Galaxy Buds+ (free for Preorders but has to be ordered through an App on the Phone, so I suspect it must know it's German at this stage) and change to Thai after before it gets 'locked'.
Call Recording is a crucial feature for me.

Skvalex call recorder has a guide in his website how to do it. But you need to have a Thai SIM.

No, changing of sim card trick is not working anymore, I tried already.
call recording option
Indonesia-XID firmware has call recoding
but sadly once u change your CSC to a different country, for example thailand, you'll be gifted with thai related apps.. on my previous phone i just edit the CSC to enable native android call recording.
but you will need root for this.

Exactly, but you gain some and you loose some. If someone preffer call recording, main option you loose is Samsung Pay, other apps work fine. It's just the preferences. I would like to have call recording, i can secrifice Samsung Pay
Rooting phone is different ball game alltogether. I dont think rooting is worth enough. you dont acheive mush with rooting now a days, (Just my openion)
But i would really look forward to change CSC on my phone, and waiting eagerly for a work around
So I now have my phone (S20+ 5G - SM-G986B) and was looking to change the CSC...
Out of the Box, the Thai Sim did little to nothing. Obviously Samsung recognized the region, since Ts&Cs / Samsung Member confirmation was in Thai (even though I set it to my region), but nothing as far as CSC or Call Recording are concerned.
Did I see correctly that there isn't even a THL Firmware for this model?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

U can use call recorder acr from the playstore in de meantime. :good:
Grtz
I just recieved my s20+. I think that Thailand sim didn't work because only csc on a phone is a csc country you purchased phone. No multi rom. Hope it will change when they realise multi rom.

Doesn't work for me. It does record calls, but apparently converts to a wrong Sample Rate as it plays back multiple times (5.5) faster than it was recorded.

Technically the released Multi-Roms: There's definitely an OXM including THL for SM-G985F (S20+ 4G) - just not for the 5G model. Maybe I should have saved €100 for the 5G that I can't use in my Region anyway. Thought I would future-proof.
Thats the only CSC phone info app can see. Well I start to regret buying 5G version....[emoji3]View attachment 4969795
All "international exynos versions have call recording built-in into the software. To enable it, the right flag should be enabled in the cscfeature.xml file (you need root for that, unencrypt the file, modify it and overwrite it back again).
However I'm not sure if you can write to that product partition anymore, on the S20s (we cannot write to system directly anymore). Worst case scenario, a Magisk module could do it.
I'll try it now on my S20+ 5G (intl) and report back ??

So did you manage to root it already? :good:
Please keep my posted, I am eagerly waiting for it.
Currently on a rooted Huawei P20 Pro, I have my S20+ 5G laying on my desk unused, since I assume I'll need to wipe and flash it anyway (either during bootloader unlock or CSC Change) to achieve recording.
Recording truly is a showstopper / knock-out criteria to me.
If I cannot do it, I will have to return the phone.
Frankly, the improvements over my current phone are way too minor to justify the price of admission anyway.

I don't think we will see this future in our phones
I just tried a Cube ACRv2.2.175 beta application and it works perfectly
If you guys have root access you can use this method
working magisk
magisk modules: riru (riru - core)(YAHFA), riru - edxposed
the app: edxposed manager

Hi Folks,
I managed to import a S20 + US Snapdragon model to the UK.
Working beautifully except I need to change the phone CSC region to get certain features available on the phone like caller ID working.
I'm quite clueless at this so any advice on how to make this change would be most welcome?
Thanks
Not possible right now

I was looking at Sam Key and I'm assuming that the firmware has not been cracked as of yet.
Hi all,
Unfortunately in my 9 pro the VoLTE for italian operator does not work (I'm testing with Ho mobile and Very mobile)
Have you been successful with this?

Hi @FRED1979IT
If your device is a china version imported to your europeean country, that can be the root of the issue. Many Aliexpress or Rakuten seller aren't clear about all of that, and I know you can buy devices way cheaper using those sellers but it can have some facebacks you certainly encounter rn. You should have a LE2123. O+ 8T and other O+ devices had that issue where 4G/5G frequency channel support are trully different from China to EU version. Here in France, four 4G channels were missing and some 5G too. unfortunately, flashing to EU ROM will not make those frequencies support back.
That's why I've decided to buy mine O+ Pro through Oplus official french store, just to be sure to have the best carrier coverture.
After that, check in your parameters/ SIM parameters and network then select the correct SIM card (1/2) and check if VoLTE is active.
By default, OOs doesn't display VoLTE icon in the upper status bar. You have to go to parameters, Display, Status bar Icon manager and check VoLTE there.
You may have a look of some threads here too like this one : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...wifi-using-pdc-no-root.4270327/#post-84967789 that may be helpful
Thanks for the reply @Fre$h I need to know if the limit of my device is hardware or software to using the VoLTE.

It is not Hardware, it is software but its locked in root directory, there is a way that unlocks all the bands for different versions also.
The status bar displays volte/wowifi but disappears again after 1-2 days.
My device LE2120DA
Ok good news!

The procudere to unlocks all the bands is reported in the following thread? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...wifi-using-pdc-no-root.4270327/#post-84967789

This forces the VOLTE and VOWIFI to turn on and work but doesn't unlock all 5g Bands. But you might not need all 5g bands though.. at least for me in Albania its not needed and wont be needed for some years.
Hi
