Am I able to install Oreo on the Canadian Note 8? Also why does Canada have it's own special Note 8 variant?
All those variants, usa, canada, china, korea, are made to meet specific requests from carriers, why exactly? That I dont know

Ah, doesnt look like the orea update will install onto the n950w variant. ODIN says
"<ID:0/005> Odin engine v(ID:3.1301)..

The Canadian model is the exact same model as the US model. It just has different firmware.

Oh, looks like I need a better tutorial. I kept getting a thread error like posted above. I'll just wait until july when they release it before the note 9 releases.
Take a look:

Do you have to flash different modem or CSC ?

I flashed the Telus modem and HOME_CSC after (from the latest 7.1.1).
You need to flash your carrier's HOME_CSC or you won't get carrier features such as VoLTE.

Why didn't it help? You asked where to find the odin files. I answered with a google term you can use to find a site that has the ODIN files.
Because it's asking for the country and USA isn't available. Unknown is available and the build number matches. This is the n920i using it in the USA on at&t
The 920I is not an AT&T variant let alone a US variant so you will not find a build for it labeled AT&T or US. Sammobile is more than likely your best bet.
As previously mentioned, n920i isn't an AT&T (or even a US) device.

Download Phone INFO Samsung from Play Store, and post screenshots to know which firmware you can install without having issues.
Here is some pics from that app.

On the Galaxy S7 phones in the US the hardware was the same and you could flash other carriers firmware on the phone when you take the phone to another carrier. Do you think you could do that with the Note 8. I see that the unlocked Note 8 is $30 cheaper than the carrier versions. If I can save $30 bucks that would be awesome.
I did that on my s7 edge. My friend did on s8 and s8+. It would be a shame if note 8 does not support it.
I don't see why not. Been able to do that with note 4 of mine.
Anyone done this? I see that 950U1 firmware for XAA CSC is out there on updato and sammobile.

You can do it , But you have to wait for the version comes out for our devices.

Isn't the XAC (Canada) firmware needed for carrier switch because of the USER_DATA portion?

I'm thinking I might need to have the CSC be "XAA" for the purposes of Samsung Pay on the N950W model.
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.

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.

I'm currently in Indonesia and using a local carrier (Telkomsel). what should I do if I want to get an update to Android Pie? Is it possible if I get OTA update? Should I remove SIM first and do the update? or what?

You can try to update using this unkown csc. You'll need to use Odin.
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-9-us/firmware/SM-N960U/CHA/
But the n960u won't have all the cellular bands that are used in your country, it'll have most but not all. You would need a SM-n960F if you wanted it to be fully compatible.

no problem, because I only have n960u right now. if I flash my n960u with unknown csc is it still unlocked? and show the xaa ?

two more questions. for cellular support, it will be the same with my firmware right now, right? LTE support or something.
do I need specific patched Odin to flash or any Odin version can?

ROMs wont change what cellular bands that are active/inactive
And you should be able to flash using regular Odin, but it won't hurt to use modified Odin to gaurentee that it works. I always use the modified version just because.

where can I get the modified Odin, any thread discuss specific Odin using for specific firmware? can I flash that firmware using Odin running on Mac Os, because I see Odin for Mac os is outdated.
Finally, I successfully flash my note 9 with ROM from https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/ga.../SM-N960U/CHA/, using patched Odin and no problem appears so far. thanks

I have a carrier-locked G998U from AT&T, is this usable or do I need the proper AT&T CSC file?
I'm curious about this as well for Verizon

Nope no issues as of yet, running really smooth
Works on my ATT 998U!
Reference for others - BL, AP, CP, and HOME_CSC are the same on all carrier G998U models, just leave out the USERDATA file.
So far, everything works. Sucks to have AT&T bloat again, but it will carry me until the U1 firmware is out.
Thanks, Tony!

So far as of today, looking at sammobile, the only models that haven't had their firmwares released for 13 are the U and U1, sans the US Cellular model. The U1 has 13 only if you were on beta. However, for those who have a U and flashed U1 firmware, there's no update available yet.

Installed it on my Verizon g998u last night. Everything went smooth and is working great
After about 2 to 3 weeks without seeing another dev build. There is finally a new dev build for the s21 ultra T-Mobile USA.
G998USQU5DVK9/G998UOYN5DVK9/G998USQU5DVK9
I think we're will finally get Android 13 very soon. Maybe a week or two
I installed it without any problem in the G998U1 XAA now it is G998U
I install this via ODIN, correct? Which version of ODIN for VZW carrier locked, please?
