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 got the Galaxy S20 5G, SM - G 9810.
The menu item "eSim" is missing in the SIM card management for the mobile phone.
Thought all S20 can also eSim?
Does anyone have any idea how to get the menu displayed?
Maybe with a different firmware? There is firmware from China on it.
Wanted to run an eSim, SD card and another real Sim in the cell phone.

You might have the Hong-Kong or Taiwan model which seems to only support physical sim.

There is Chinese firmware on it. maybe you can change it to another firmware. All S20 should have the eSim. Just locked by the software.

You have the S20 Hong Kong Variant. eSim isn't available on your device and changing firmware from TGY, which is the CSC on your device, to a different CSC usually creates more problems than it solves. The Forum is littered with users who have numerous issues after changing firmware. Firmware is CSC specific so altering this compatibility can have adverse effects. Carrier Aggeration, Wifi Calling, Samsung Pay, Samsung Health, Secure Folder as well as your Warranty may be at risk.
Another option if you want to have Dual SIM and SD Card is adding an adapter. I wouldn't consider that since it's a pretty funky setup.

On my Galaxy S8 I shaved a SIM Card, fixed it to the back of my SD Card to facilitate the setup you're hoping to achieve however Samsung squashed that option on S9's and likely S10's and S20's. I'm curious why you feel eSim is vital? It's much easier just to swap out the SD Card with a SIM when Dual SIM is beneficial.

Which S20 Snapdragon variant can support Nano Sim + eSim + Micro SD? I thought the HK version could do that and was about to buy.

According to Samsung Support, which I would take with a grain of salt, a future update may enable eSim on Snapdragon Devices. The Snapdragon 855 SOC is compatible with eSim as evidenced on the Galaxy Fold and I would think the 865 SOC on the S20's is as well, however at this time I'm not aware of any eSim enabled S20's with Snapdragon SOC's.

Mine is S20 5G SM-G981J japanese au version phone. my device is not showing esim option.
can you tell my device is esim supported or not
I'm struck. Could you please give me some help. I have imported SM-G988N Korean version in India because of Snapdragon. Initially I thought its a single physical SIM phone and eSIM can be activated by putting a request to my carrier since they have eSIM support. My carrier converted my one physical sim to eSIM but it never got activated on the phone. I rooted and If flash G9880 (HongKong) CSC will it get support of eSIM. ?? I desperately need second number activation or else I have to change my ULTRA as daily driver.
Its so important for me to stick to Ultra that I had to create a new thread for getting clarification/Help
G9880 (HongKong) No eSim Brother.

None and you wouldn't be able to change to any other csc other than KOO, KTC, LUC and SKC which are all Korean csc.
Hello flashers.
Question here.
I have a US unlocked version G781U1/DS. Is it possible to convert to G781B/DS? The reason for this is European B version has dual sim support, whereas apparently it is disabled on US models. Otherwise why would Samsung put DS into model name for U1 and snap in a dual sim tray?
I think both devices have same hardware specs.
Will it work?
Thanks.
No, it will not.

Why would you want to do this? The U1 version is a multi-CSC firmware and should work as needed in any country. I have not been able to secure a FW set for the S20 FE5G as of yet, but if it was available, it could be confirmed or denied that the specific CSC you need is contained within. Again, I'm rather curious about the issue you're facing to lead you to want to do this. Technically, you should be able to flash any Snapdragon CSC that is built for the same device. That is speculative as ive not confirmed this, but that is how it has been historically from the S8 onward
I have tried all CSC versions available in CSC menu, none of them enables dual sim. Note CSC available are most for US carriers like TMB and ATT. There is XAA (international apparently) available as well but does not enable dual sim either.
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.

It does, bit esim is disabled in Canada, by soft. Instal U1(xaa) instead of W soft, esim will be enabled.
Have u tried installing a Esim? Is it working fully?

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)
