Is it possible to flash Canadian firmware for US unlocked note 8?

Hello
Currently I have US unlocked note 8 and using Telus which is one of Canadian carriers.
Unfortunately Volte is not available for US unlocked note 8 probably due to different CSC country code.
If I flash firmware for Canadian will I fully be able to use carrier specific features?
Is there any guide for this ?
Thanks for reading.

The same carrier switching guide for the S8+ should work for the Note 8 as well, grab the N950W firmware and read the rest of the instructions from that thread.

Hey! I have kind of a similar issue. i bought my s8 from Canada (service provider : bell). When i moved back to India, i needed region specific apps like SPay to work. Then i could manage to change CSC code from BMC (Bell) to XAC (Canada unlocked). However, i need to change it to INS. I downloaded Indian s8 firmware. But i am not sure if i can flash HOME_CSC using Odin as my S8 is a snapdragon variant(obviously) and I'm really worried if it would brick my device. Or if i would not receive OTA's (Because ONE UI is all I'm looking for) . Please guide me here.
Thanks for reading .

NO NO NO! You can NOT cross flash firmware between Snapdragon and Exynos models.

Hi, mine is N960F/DS
I've got no idea what it means. I think the first "F" is for "international", rest, who knows?

Changing SM-N9500 firmware to EE UK to enable VoLTE and WiFi Calling?

Hi,
I have a Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N9500) HK dual sim 128GB and want to use wifi calling and VoLTE but I can't do that on the stock firmware.
I found a few sites and forums that it is possible to use the EE UK firmware but I've no idea where to obtain it from.
Has anyone got any guides or ideas on where I can get the firmware?
Cheers.

You have n9500 - snapdragon soc.
EE UK is for n950F - exynos soc.
Not going to work! Not compatible and Odin will not flash it! It will say Fail!
Now if you are "rooted" you can flash a dev moded csc file (search for csc that will work on your n9500).

Can i flash the sm-g977b firmware onto the sm-g977n device?

Hey 5G Pioneers,
I am wondering can I flash the sm-g 977b firmware onto the sm-g 977n device through the Odin? Did someone make it?
Since these two models are all using the same Exynos 9820 chips
And from my previous experience of using my galaxy s8, Samsung actually enabled me to flash the firmware in different regions only if the devices were using the same chip version.
I am currently in Australia. The Korean version of 977N is much cheaper, and it seems that is the only network unlock version that I could buy from the market.

Not sure where are you in Australia but I bought mine from a Telstra Sales Rep (based in CBD, Melbourne) where he got a discount code and gave its to me for AUD 1400 for the 512 GB Majestic Black Version, unlocked , I'm using Optus, VoLTE, VoWIFI works fine on it.

Was already factory unlocked. I didn't have to insert Telstra SIM to activate it.

Thanks. Is this the exynos or Snapdragon version? I'm planning to buy the 256gb version and use in India. So wanted to check before I ask my sister to buy.

Hi everybody,
On Sammobile website, I found 4 firmware Korean variants. I tried getting more information on the "KOO" variant to see if its a stock Samsung firmware without Carrier Apps/Bloatware without luck. I couldn't get any detailed information whether it can be flashed over any other Korean variant. Can anyone here clarify if its possible and If yes provide further details?
Attached a snapshot.
Many thanks

That is the non bloatware Korean version but it doesn't allow me to flash it. I suspect you have to flash it with the userdata file also.

Thanks for the information,
I have a new phone so No issues with user data. How do I flash the firmware.
Thanks

Use all the files in the KOO firmware including the userdata.

Before I attempt this, Will this trigger knox? Void Warranty ? Will I be able to have OTA later on?
Thanks

I have done it several times but it seems to fail. Nothing will be triggered.

Hi,
I have successfully flashed the "KOO" variant once with and a second time without "userdata", however that did NOT remove any of the Bloatware/Carrier Apps.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I disable the 3 apps then hide them from the app drawer.

Hi,
I did disable the apps which is great, but there menu operator items as well!
Edit : Forgot to mention that the boot logo is of the operator as well.

I was researching something about using the PIT file along with the firmware but can't find the specific PIT file for S10 5g.

Use Odin or the modified version to flash combination firmware. Then flash your desired firmware.
This is the only way I am aware to remove all carrier bloatware and boot logos.

Dual SIM

I am particularly interested in this as the 977N variant seems to be dual sim. I notice it also has additional bands to the 977B varient and I would like to put the telstra firmware to ensure operation of VoLTE VoWiFi RCS etc.
The main purpose is to use at home and overseas. So more bands and access to features (VoLTE, VoWiFI, RCS etc. on my telstra SIM and local overseas SIM) when overseas are the goal.
Unless someone can confirm that the 977N with vanilla firmware will support all the telstra features?
Thank you for your assistance

Conversion from SM-G781B to SM-G7810

Hello,
I wonder if it's possible to convert Thailand variant of S20 FE 5G (SM-G781B) to Hong Kong version (SM-G7810). Both has the same Snapdragon 865 chipset and X55 modem. The reason is that I have to study in Japan for three years and I need LTE B18 during my stay, which is not offered on SM-G781B. I had tried Odin method but it said that Secure Check Fail. I already unlock the bootloader and tried again, but still no luck. What I have to do?
Thanks

Somewhere else I read you need patched Odin, so it does not check FW variants.

I'm sorry, but what does "patched Odin" mean? Is it a particular version? Do you know where I can download it? I have version 3.14. Thanks.

Something like this:
Patched Odin 3.13.1
For those looking for a modified, modded, or patched odin that is a newer build than all the fake and renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around. I patch recent Odin versions to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy; in that...

I did not test this mod. Use it at your own risk.
