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!

A50 indian firmware on Australian model

I would like to know whether we can flash Indian firmware on on australian model A50 (SM-A505YN).
Any help would be appreciated.
Nope ! First of all its not a F (Global variant) series like the India model. Secondly, you gotta a NFC device while Indian Model is non-NFC.

Here we have not yet got the April security patch. Would you recommend if there are any update from any other country that I could flash?
I would have easily recommended if your device was a "F" variant. Most of the devices sold in Europe, APAC are SM-A505F or SM-A505FN which isn't the case with your device.

Australia is really picky with the entre model numbers. G900I, T755Y, all the jazz. If you want, if you're on someone like Optus, you can try XSA firmware (Unlocked Australia) however still on your carrier. So, for example instead of OPS/OPS/OPS, you'll have XSA/XSA/OPS. Worth a try.

CSC of imported device

I imported a Note 10+ from Canada (N975W) it was from Rogers, but they sell all their devices unlocked anyway, I'm here in the UK & using a EE sim card, everything works perfect apart from Samsung Pay.
So my question is, am I on the best possible firmware I can be?, In the UK we have the Exynos Note 10+ so it's not possible for me to flash UK firmware right?
Also my CSC is XAC/XAC/XAC/RWC
XAC is unlocked, RWC is Rogers, so is it just displaying that the device was originally on Rogers & is now on unlocked?
Any help / information is appreciated.
So RWC you can't change and it doesn't affect software updates. First two makes sense what updates and where you gonna recieve | Country / Region / Operator. Unlocked or not, it doesn't give you faster updates. XAC is sim free version code for Canada, I believe. And don't flash Exynos firmware on SD.

So in summary XAC is the best firmware I can be on because it's SIM free which means no carrier bloat, RWC is meaningless (just signifies the original firmware I'm guessing?), & I can't get but also don't need, UK firmware?
Yes you are right. And yes you don't need UK firmware.

SM-G9860 (BRI) Taiwan CSC change to SM-G986B (PHN) Netherlands

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.

SM-G9880 Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G Unlocked from Hong Kong

So I bought another Galaxy S20 ultra Unlocked on ebay from Hong Kong. Was able to unlock bootloader with no problem install Magisk. So everything is great but I have tried several times to install us firmware via Odin with no success.
Question: do I have to? To be able to use in US? When I try to see if imei can work with lets say Boost Mobile they don't recognize the imei... also when i went to register phone on Samsung HK website says phone is already registered.
Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks

Snapdragon Hong Kong is slightly different from the snapdragon US.
At least in my s9+ snapdragon is what happen, only be able to use rooms from south America and Asia like China.
I guess in the s20 series is the same. Snapdragon Canada and US is different than Hong Kong , Asia and south America
