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?

Works without any problems, especially since I'm in Europe.

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)

I am trying to flash a U1 firmware. I keep getting Fail (Auth) on Odin. I'm using a patched ver 3.14.1 of Odin.
I've selected USB debugging on my phone. What am I missing?
Can anyone help?
Hi guys,
Any of the ROMs posted here allow the use of the eSim on g986u1 S20+ Snapdragon?
Cheers
I want to flash a different region firmware (in this case korean) on my device, an s20 plus unlocked (with csc xaa). The reason is that I wish to unlock 5g band n78 that the us firmware of my device does not support. I know that I cannot flash a european exynos firmware, but the korean model SM g986n has the same soc (snapdragon 865) and is single sim. In another thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flashing-from-sm-g986n-to-sm-g986u1.4072579/) the owner of a Korean s20 plus attempted to do the opposite and supposedly failed, because its korean model lacked mmwave 5g antennas that the american model supports (albeit probably calibration on the chipset is different). So thit is my question: is the reverse operation possible? Do I risk to brick the phone because of hardware limitations? Do I have to unlock the bootloader to flash the korean firmware or samsung frp tool could do the trick? I am open to suggestions here, thank you in advance.
Hi,
I am from India and I have unlocked fold 4 model no SM-F936U firmware F936USQU1AVIG OneUI 4.1.1 based on android 12 , I want to update my firmware with U1 from U, is it possible?
