Hello,
I have a Galaxy S9, Model: SCV38. Is there a way to enable VoLTE on the phone to be used for Indian carriers? If there is some other post discussion, do point out.
If the correct firmware is installed, then it'll work. If not, then you're out of luck.
You might be able to flash the carrier's firmware using Odin (I did that on my S9+ to get VoLTE working on EE UK, as the phone had generic firmware).
I live in Canada and have a N975W and want to flash the star wars U1 firmware, but before I do I wanna know what happens when you put a Canadian Carrier sim in?!? Will the U1 CSC have Canadian Carrier info preset? Will I have to manually modify to get things like MMS to work? Or does the U1 firmware have Canadian stuff preloaded that gets triggered with the Sim card?
Thanks
Nobody?
Exynos

I think then u can flash as I have totally different csc
Now from the first just remember to do that whith already inserted sim into your phone so it can instantly fetch the settings of your sim carrier .

The American CSC does not contain information for Canadian carriers. After you flash the American U1 firmware, flash the Canadian CSC. There is only one CSC for Canada, and it contains information for all the Canadian carriers (Bell, Rogers, Telus, etc.). After flashing the Canadian CSC, when you insert a SIM from a Canadian carrier it applies the settings for your carrier's VoLTE, wi-fi calling, APN, etc.
If you flash Canadian CSC after flashing full U1 firmware will it not effect the U1 firmware? The CSC file is so large I'm wondering how it will effect the U1 firmware. Anyone do this yet? Do I need to use modified Odin?
Have you done this? Does flashing a different CSC effect the firmware?

I would appreciate any input from someone who has tried this please. I really want to flash the star wars Android 10 for U1 on my 975W but am afraid that CSC will be different and not sure If flashing CSC from a different firmware will work as the file is so big.
if it doesnt work, you just flash back to stock firmware and csc.
just make sure its for the same processor.
OK, so, I flashed first Star Wars Android 9 version of U1 firmware to test and it works perfectly. Booted up with Canadian carrier sim and it loaded all APN settings. Everything works perfectly.
Flashed Android 10 version of Star Wars U1 firmware and its all good.
So you can load U1 firmware on N975W unlocked version. Same hardware and works in both countries. Do not even need Canadian CSC.
Do not load the HOME CSC file. It will wipe everything but its worth it. Firmware is solid and beautiful.
By flashing unlocked firmware, did you get rid of any carrier bloatware?
Can I ask you guys an info? I own N975u1, on first boot It haven't Greek language and I choose it later at setting. Does N975w on first boot has Greek language? So I install N975w firmware to solve my problem?(some settings remains in English).
975W is Canadian model and i have it on my note 10+ with carrier esk or eastlink if you wish to know what carrier esk stands for. If you are trying to get your phone to show Greek language I do not believe the 975w firmware would be a good choice. It lets you select which country you are from when you start up a freshly formatted phone but I have never selected any language other than Canada which is English. Just thought I would let you know that my model is also a Snapdragon chipset and I don't know if you can Flash another firmware unless you unlock Bootloader and I do not know if that is possible currently on a Snapdragon chipset Note 10.

I have n975w snapdragon with Virgin mobile. I can't access my oem unlock. Is there a firmware I can flash that will give me access while maintaining my plan with virgin?

The only phones with an unlockable bootloader are the N9750 (chineese variant) and Exynos models.
Can you please be more specific with what you are looking for within regards to firmware. Other then the information/answers posted in the first page of this thread I saw this thread, but depending on what your looking for specifically the post may not be of any help.
Also be aware that if you want to retain full compatibility with Virgin then you shouldn't go messing around with the firmware. Flashing other firmware (especially for US models) can result in things not working the way they would normally.

OK, so only the exynos version of my phone is oem unlockable? I am just trying to be able to root my phone, i figured if I could flash an oem unlocked firmware while keeping my carrier then I would be able to do so.

Correct.
Only the models with the exynos chipset and the N9750 variant can be rooted.

Only firmware for OEM UNLOCK switch in developer menu is exynos models. I found other sites on the net stating SM-N975W Snapdragon can be bootloader unlocked but i tried them all and none worked. DO NOT flash exynos firmware on Snapdragon model as you may ruin your phone or void warranty. Luckily mine still shows official and knox counter didn't get tripped. Sorry, wish I had better news 4 ya.

Respect. I've accepted that my phone can't be rooted. Gunna buy a nexus 7 with kali nethunter pre installed to save the hassle XD THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!
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.
Hello,
I have buy a Galaxy S20+ but I'm really annoyed with it
It's the SM-G9860 Taiwan version (BRI). I have right now the G9860ZHU2CTL3 Firmware (I'm in France).
The problem is, Free has activate 5G and everything is ok with my xperia 1 II but, with the s20+ I can't have 5g connectivity ;(
I saw some people had same issues and solved it by downgrading the firmware, does it wipe all datas ?
I already wrote a message but I didn't see it was on S20 Note thread ^^
If I'm understand correctly I only have two solution as we can't actually change CRC to XEF : change it to TGY for HK location or downgrade it ? I prefer to not install the CHC version.
It's for a friend and I don't want to loose phone datas, I can flash with Odin only HomeCRC no ?
I also see the way with Phone Call App by Google, I see I can change to TGY on my phone, is it ok if I select it or should I backup as it will wipe everything ?
Thanks for your answer, it's the first Samsung phone I buy and I think it will be the last one ^^
Hello, no one have same issue ?
You MAY get 5G connectivity after flashing Hong Kong firmware depending on the service provider. Two considerations, your friend won't get OTA updates and in many instances 5G speeds aren't much better than 4G. Not sure if flashing will wipe all data but it can be backed up. This thread should provide better insight.
SM-G9880 BRI (taiwan) vs TGY (HK) differences? Thinking about changing CSC
I have a SM-G9880 BRI (taiwan) version and using in Australia. I have all the 3G/4G options but I'm unable to select any 5G - even though the phone is a 5G phone. I know my carrier does not use 5G in my area at this time, so is it not showing...

The only way I could get 5G back after upgrading to Android 11 was to flash the CP from an Android 10 ROM. This won't result in a data loss, but will make future updates annoying (you'll have to flash the updates manually, and reflash the Android 10 CP). In my case, my 5G speeds and reception are pretty underwhelming so I might just stick with 4G.

I tried this with the S20 ultra and it just made it boot loop..
I am planning to take a AT&T locked SM-G986U to Cricket. My question is simple. How do I update the firmware?
My current LG G8 refuses to update and my understanding is I need an active AT&T simcard.
However, I found this: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...M-G986U1/ATT/download/G986U1UEU1DUB7/1491717/
I found out that SM-G986U1 firmware should work on SM-G986U.
Will that above firmware work on my incoming SM-G986U? Will it allow VoLTE? Has anyone tried this?
I need VoLTE on Cricket and I know the AT&T firmware allows for that. But the above firmware is for the U1 not the U(should be cross-compatible) and says it's the AT&T version.
Can anyone please confirm this? Thank you so much for any and all help, advice, or suggestions.
If anyone can or wants to try or test this I'd love to know the results.
yes it will work and you get updates from samsung
So using that above would get me VoLTE? WiFi Calling would be nice but I need VoLTE. Just still a bit confused, thanks for your answer and help.
i get both but i have a att phone on att and running the u1 firmware
Ok, yeah mine is an AT&T model and I'm not sure it'll arrive up to date. We'll have to wait and see. thanks!
