Is there any existing S20+ (G986U1) android 12 ROMs I can use & are compatible with AT&T? And also safe of course.
It hasn't even been released for all carriers yet, much less for the unlocked variant. If it were out already everyone would have crossflashed it already.

Can someone tell me which models of the s9 plus can be rooted and have custom roms installed ?
Iirc petty much any of them except the US carrier variants (960/5U)
Hi all.
I've bought an S9+ off Ebay in the UK and assumed that I'd be sent a UK model but instead I've received a USA AT&T Snapdragon version.
I've been on xda some time now and am used to rooting and flashing roms for UK versions but not the USA versions.
Does anyone have any advice as to what I should do? Ideally I'd only want to root it but unsure how to approach it. There doesn't seem many ROMs for the Snapdragon version!
If I do successfully root it and don't flash a custom rom, will I still get official updates?
Thanks!
No root or custom for Snapdragon US model S9s, Bootloaders are locked
You need the international Exynos version

Thanks. If I keep it, is functionality affected if I reinstall apps rom the UK Play Store or restore a backup of my old Samsung phone?

that shouldnt make any difference whatsoever. i have brought several phones from the US to several EU countries, including the UK and never had any issue with US phones working over there and using europe specific apps as well. Should be fine.
Awful quiet around here guess everyone bought the tab s6!
I noticed an update available this August 2019. Has anyone flashed their tab s4 with Odin? And then rooted once again? I'm using a t835n and plan to get the t835 international version. But I want to be sure I can root after.
Another question - on sammobile they have so many different country options for the t835 international model. What is the actual difference? I use my device in USA so what would be the best version to flash so that I have the most bands for my carrier (TMobile). Or does flashing firmware not have the effect I am thinking on bands?
Thanks!

That's a very good question.
Are you on Oreo or Pie?
My guess, based on the rooting guides I've been reading is the one for the country that you bought the device from. I think you are on the Korean version, so I would think that would be the ideal update to use on the device and then just use it in English.
As for the S6, I'm inclined to buy another (3rd) S4 because the lack of the headphone jack is intolerable for me.
I will ask in the Note 9 forum, but do you happen to know the international version of the Note 9 that is the equivalent of the Korean 6GB Tab S4? They dropped the headphone jack on that one too. I use it to get radio on my phone.
So I rooted the Korean 6GB versions that was factory shipped with the most recent and up to date Oreo firmware and it rooted just fine. I'm missing a few apps but I'm not sure why that is (weird like missing email, internet, calculator, some google crap...). I'm trying to figure out why, but I NEVER let it connect to the internet for any reason yet. I sideloaded some of the apps and it seems fine. I'm going to check with my other Tab S4 6GB that is on the original stock firmware from the beginning to see if those apps were ever there in the first place tonight and post in the TWRP thread.
Root is fine. So I think you will be fine with the most recent firmware for Oreo. I suggest getting the Korean (region specific) firmware for your specific device.

It took me a little googling but it did turn up. Sammobile site didn't fine it for me, I had to google to get it, even thought it was still the samobile site where I found it. I didn't download any successfully yet.
I'm planning to get the G9600 since the Exynos has battery issues.
I don't need to install a lot of custom ROM's , I'll be happy with rooted stock and microG, even though I see that TWRP and unofficial Lineage is already available for the 9600
If I need to use VOLTE and HD Voice on ATT or T-Mob, do I need to install the US firmware? If yes, is it possible to root the USA firmware since the 9600 has an unlocked bootloader?
I ordered a Korean S20 ultra (988N), but live in the US. Has anyone flashed the US firmware on a bootloader unlocked SD variant of the phone (ie 988U1 firmware on a 988N or 9880)? If so, did you have to change the CSC to XAA before or after you flashed the firmware?

I don't have an answer to your question but will the non-US phone work in the US like on Verizon system as is?
It should work fine on LTE. The main Verizon bands are 2, 4, 5, 13, all of which are supported in all s20 variants. I don't think you'll get 5g on any US carriers, so if that's important, better to pick up a US spec phone, and pay to unlock the bootloader.

I tested the phone (G988N) on both Verizon on TMobile. I was able to get 5G on both carriers. So I can confirm that all features (except possibly WiFi calling on Tmobile), work.
So using the KOO firmware in the US works perfectly fine. No reason to try to flash XAA.

I wish you had tried lol I'm tempted to flash the U1 firmware on my Korean S22 Ultra but I'm looking for more info before going for it. Still no luck.
