Mostly for built in call recording.
I had a S22/U1, I like the formfactor but it has no recording, so then I got a S22/E (snapdragon, india) version which works in the USA on verizon but sometimes signal just drops, and sometimes texts don't go through among other issues (recording is flawless).
I was looking into it and apparently the 'best' solution for S22 with recording (that works in USA) is to somehow get a rooted S22/U1 (USA version) and with root access you can manually edit the CSC file to turn on recording. But the challenge is getting a rooted U1, which can only be done with a paid service like sam PWND (as far as I know) and they are on pause now anyways....
So then I was thinking if all it takes is editing CSC then can I instead somehow load some files to my S22/E and make it have access to /U1 features (so calls don't drop etc.), and then take advantage of the root (which /E has with unlocked bootloader) to subsequently edit the CSC and turn recording back on?
Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts? I read that the modem is the same so in principle this can work?

http://www.utstar.com/pcd/phone_downloads.aspx?bid=87&cid=16&mid=285&carrier=Bell Mobility
you can download a "Maintanence Release" which was posted on the 18th. According to the .doc, this seems to correct a few bugs I've experianced myself. I haven't yet installed it myself.
Thanks for finding this, I updated my phone. No differences for me since my phone was working fine before the update with the 1.17 rom w/ 1.59.10 radio.
Btw, where do you see the changes? I checked the readme but didn't see any changelogs.
Included in the zip you downloaded there was a Word .doc file (along with the executable) that specified what major changes there were. It included instructions on how to install it. Other than the instructions, it says,
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some of the primary enhancements included in this software:
• Correction to device radio to prevent hardware lockup when receiving Push Email and/or Data during a voice call.
• Correction to Bluetooth operation regarding the need to re-activate Bluetooth when the device goes into a suspend state such as “Deep Sleep” mode.
• Phase in of a Store Front solution into the Extended ROM that will prevent the accidental removal of network based program(s) for the Program folder that are consider to be default software.
• Modification to the device user Agent to ensure correct operation (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 7.6) HTC-6900-MR1.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have that lockup issue while on the phone at least once a week (due to automatic data polling stuff I have setup), and my friend always has that bluetooth issue. I'm not yet ready to format my device, so I haven't updated yet...
Ill check it out! Thanks alot for this, only thing, is this for Bell or Bell mobility (canada)?? Since im on the bell mobility network from Ontario, is this the ROM upgrade for the Bell from Canada? Just making sure!

Works for me so far, but i haven't done much with it other then 1 phone call.

Bell Mobility from Canada.... I was not aware that there was another provider named Bell...
I've heard Southern Bell, but not just Bell....
I can confirm for ME, I miss alot of calls (doesnt ring) with the 1.59.10a radio.
So far so good
Works fine for me as well. Upgrade was flawless.
Your phone is set to "poll" THE towers at a 5 seconds interval. Missed calls can result because in 5 seconds, your friend may hear 4 rings and hang up and your phone has not even ring!
Using the hack below, change the slot recycle index to 1 from 2 (poll the towers at 2.5 seconds)
and most of your missed calls are gone!

Hi, I got my Butterfly 3 yesterday.
It had an old tampered (without "au" stuff) KDDI ROM that wouldn't update so I flashed to a more recent one, rooted, flashed the GPS fix and disabled/uninstalled all the "au" stuff. The phone is now working great except for a few things that are very annoying, and I'd like to know if the Taiwan version doesn't have the same problems:
1 - Can't seem to find a way to select 2G, 3G or 4G mode. My previous One M7 had that option under "mobile data". Here it's completely gone (what the hell? it's the first phone I've ever seen without this..).
This is especially bad because I can't seem to be able to enable LTE (the phone's bands are supported in my country). Since I can't try to force "4G only" in the phone, there's no way to know if there's a problem with my APN configuratin (which I had to input manually.. for the first time ever on a smartphone), if there's a problem with the antenna, or if my SIM card simply doesn't have 4G enabled. Does the Taiwan version have the "force 4G" option?
2 - I've added the country code to almost all my contacts (+351) in order to be able to call them whenever I was abroad. The phone won't detect any contact that has a "+" in the number, so the person's name doesn't appear. Same thing with SMS: if there's a "+" in the number, I can't reply to the sms or send new ones. Is there a way to overcome this with the KDDI ROM? Does the Taiwan ROM have this problem too?
I'm split between "upgrading" to the Taiwan Marshmallow or keeping the KDDI one.
To be honest, I'd rather stay with Lollypop if it means getting usable NFC. On the other hand, if the Taiwan ROM fixes the problems mentioned above then I'll say goodbye to NFC.
I fixed it by having two numbers on one person. So you got the number with the country code(+...) and the number without country code(for me: 06....).
As for the problem with the settings, I can't find it either :/
Maybe the option is just hidden away, but I never use mobile data.
I've been in your shoes

I'm in the states , but calling both and texts has been fine. (I had a damaged SIM couldn't send texts)
If you really want japan's au bloat that even with a pro root uninstaller still leaves grime just to keep NFC, I have a solution for you to get data.
P.S.You need root for any real fixes like this one
use es file explorer and turn on root read write permissions, it'll ask when you use the left side panel to access system directory.
Use search to find apn-config.xml
Replace file with one from cyanogenmod rom or any phone you have.
Data should now work. To fix SMS uninstall it, clear out its folder and install any HTC text messaging app and place apk in folder. (then clear cache)
Also, update as much as possible before rooting, b/c its a bootloader unlock and this phone has not bootloader update with marshmallow you can always root with twrp.
Private message me with any questions I'll respond asap. I'm no developer (despite my attempts linux hates me), but I know my way around the average android device and have kept up with everything for this one.
(Taiwan has no gps issues, uninstallable bloatware, nor apn/4g problems)

Are you absolutely sure that uninstalling sms.apk and clean the cache solved the problem for you. I tried that long time but didn't work for me. Which APK did you uninstall ? providers.apk, sms.apk or mms.apk ?
I don't have GPS, 4G issues on Japan version, the only problem is SMS "+" resolution.

I've got unlocked Note 10+ and I flashed the U firmware because of video calling that's missing on U1. Now I found that on T Mobile version there is no Smart Call and it is replaced by T Mobile NameID, which I consider inferior and I'd have to pay for full functionality.
Anybody knows if there is any way how to get the stock Samsung dialer with Smart Call back? I'd hate to flash the U1 ROM and go through the restore process again. Even with Samsung cloud, Google and SD backups it took me almost half day to get it set as I had it before.

My past experience with Samsung Smart Call, was that i found that even though, its baked into Samsung Firmware, it is Service Provider depended. to "activate /work".
I might be wrong, but i personally believe so, based on my experience.
Just to recap, my experiences with my old Note 8 and my Note 9 (both devices not rooted)
I also flashed Stock Samsung firmware .. different CSC onto these devices.
I found on both occasions i lost the function of th Smart Call.
( Hiya services), also Volte function etc etc.
I could see the Smart Call settings in firmware, but it was greyed out.
Could not enable it at all.
When i flashed my old Samsung Firmware (Service Provider CSC) Smart Call (Hiya services), was enabled again and working.
I'm sure in your case, you'll will find it's Service Provider depended.
Good luck.

The thing is, after I purchased and set up the phone on stock Samsung firmware, VoLTE and Smart Call worked perfectly fine. But stupid me wanted to try the video calling. I found that the video calling is not different than Google Duo and I will NEVER use RTT texts. I see no real advantage from using T Mo firmware in comparison with stock Samsung (provisioned for T Mo of course)
Actually quite the opposite. For me, the signal strength and battery life is practically the same on both and again, FOR ME Smart Call is much more useful than video call and RTT.
If anyone knows any benefits from keeping T Mo firmware over stock, please enlighten me. I really don't want to go through the flashing the whole thing and restoring dance again, but I'm afraid I will have to.

Ha, your post reminds me,
that when i flashed
my branded Samsung Firmware ( Voda CSC) with the Samsung unbranded Firmware,
The reason, was also to get video calling working.
As my branded device did not have video calling option on dialer.
I could only activate video, if someone else, video called me... only then the video option, would appear.!
I then afterwards, realized that i lost my Smart Call functions. and flashed back to the branded software.
This was on my Note 9.
So i had no video call option on dialer ,but Smart Call.
Now...
again, with my branded( Voda CSC) Note 10 +,
i see that my device has video calling on dial pad.....!
So, the Service Providers, chop and changed.
A year back, they disabled video calling option, from dial pad.
Now video calling is back on the dial pad plus Smart Calls is working fine.
Good luck
So.... I bit the bullet and flashed back the U1 firmware. The only thing I lost is the video calling. I still have RTT button on my dialer. Whether it works or not I haven't tried yet. I know it wasn't there on the original dialer when I purchased the phone. Maybe because I didn't flash USERDATA? Who knows.
I'm happy I've got Smart Call back.
CSC N975U
Good afternoon, I have the n975u model, my question is what firmware should I install, to get the smart call and video calls by duo?. Or is csc the one that has these functions active?
Thanks!!
excuse my english, google translator.
I have a Verizon Note10+ running Android 11 (3.1) I paid my cell off 4 mo ago. Verizon confirmed for me that my cell is carrier unlocked. I've tried everything to get the Smart Call app on my phone to work. The only thing I haven't tried is rooting it cause I don't know how. I have 3 versions of the apk and can't make them work. Can anyone help?

Yes, along as the region you change the CSC too, supports call recording, should work like normal

Is there any downsides to this besides losing some Samsung apps?
You shouldn't loose anything as far as I'm aware, it's baked into the firmware, but the CSC either allows it or doesn't based on local laws, so you shouldnt loose any apps, unless for whatever reason they don't have them in those regions. Just research which firmware or region has the software that closest matches your needs
What is the easiest way to go about getting call recording to work? I've read about changing my CSC, but I'm not too keen on rooting my phone. The technical aspect is not the main thing preventing me doing it (I've rooted and loaded custom firmware on devices before), it's that I need to be able to retain full functionality including Samsung pay and from what I've seen, changing my CSC to a different region is likely to either make Samsung pay not work or only work with payment methods for/from that region. I happen to live in a state that only requires single-party consent for telephone call recording, so the fact that I can't record my calls without using another device is utter nonsense. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
