Hi i just wondering when we will receive oreo update in UK?
What carrier you on?
EE , UK
Vodafone UK.....
Sent from my Note 8 (2017 Phone) using XDA Labs
I'm on EE but my device was originally an O2 one.
I had to manually install the France ROM via ODIN and I'm having no issues.
I find it a little bit odd that the Middle East was updated after France, and not the rest of mainland Europe, but ah well. The France ROM will suffice for me until a UK ROM is released.
Question: would there be much of a difference between the two?
France and UK I mean?

I flashed it and still have the we WiFi calling available
lost patience a bit and flashed it myself this morning, just waiting for the backup/restore to complete, mine is unbranded OXM XEU uk/ireland and all went smooth, I did a factory reset first and used CSC instead of Home CSC so complete setup from scratch

I think AP is same, but different BL and CP, should be better if flash with original country BL and CP.
Thats not VoLTE, thats wifi calling. Without an official ROM you cannot have support for the VoLTE protocol.
I bought my note 8 sim free and got the oreo update yesterday. I'm on Vodafone but I doubt it matters when it's sim free.
Can you confirm what version handset your on
BTU or XEU I have BTU handset and still sat waiting for Oreo
Looks like XEU
BTU released this morning

You will have to wipe your device later if you dont change the CSC to o2.
I have done the same to mine with VOD and now i got Oreo + VoLTE + WiFi Calling and all extra CSC stuff.
I am not root KNOX 0x0

Can I just flash the latest o2 Oreo Rom via Odin onto my unlocked un grand as note 8 and will I then get o2 things like WiFi calling and voip as with the unbranded firmware I can't enable it? Will I have to use the home-csc with the sim and card removed also or can I do it without resetting the phones data?

Hi, you can't use the Home-CSC and you will lose all of your phone data I'm afraid. I did the same thing when I reflashed my BRI SM-N950F/DS onto O2UK just after Christmas. Just updated to the O2UK release of Oreo earlier today too.

Just flashed the o2 Rom using the home_csc from the o2 update and the 3 other files using the latest odin3 so far so good and I now have WiFi calling and voip which I didn't before

My apologies! I was under the impression that it wasn't possible to use the Home_CSC so I didn't even attempt it! How have you got VoLTE working though? I can't see that on mine?

I don't volte in my area yet but the next time I'm in Belfast I'll try it and report back, the WiFi calling does work as mobile reception in my area is poor that's why decided to flash the o2 branded Rom as once the tugo app was discontinued I was missing quite a few important calls but hopefully now I wont

Yeah, same here! Was a decent app TuGo, shame they've pulled it.
Hi
I'm on O2 with a unlocked phone bought through mobiles.co.uk (owned by Carphone Warehouse)
I installed the French version of Oreo, as my phone wasn't getting the OTA update.
Am I ok to flash the O2 firmware, downloaded from SamKnows?
I was told it could brick my phone!
Thanks
hi. sorry for this noob question because i am kinda new to samsung. my question is would it be possible to change csc from tgy to xtc? my note 9 is a snapdragon variant from hongkong. and i am currently in the philippines. and if this is possible will there be any problems like ota update and future updates of the phone? thank you and hoping anyone can enlighten me with this matter.
Why would you want to do this? As you can still receive OTA updates for your device, no matter where you are in the world. I am currently using the Korean Note 8 N950N in Hong Kong and I am still receiving OTA updates from Korea.
hi @iceepyon. thank you for your reply. my problem is if i am using samsung members app the support team answering me is from samsung hong kong and not from samsung philippines which is where i am. if i need repairs and stuff i wont be able to go to hong kong as i am here in the philippines. samsung benefits is not working as well. and some of samsung app like the galaxy app is showing hong kong currency not in peso. now my question is if i change my csc to philippines will i be able to use features that is for the local unit on my hong kong unit?

You won't be able to get support from Samsung Philippines anyway as they will be able to find out that you have a Hong Kong device when they check the IMEI number of your device.
oh ok. well i guess i am stuck with it. thanks @iceepyon.

Isn't the new OS's changing CSC when putting a different region/country SIM on the next reboot, when you click YES on first boot(clean boot with the new SIM) to reset and change the CSC of the phone ?! It is one time only use after pressing NO or YES it will not show it again before wiping the phone again. My phone a DBT was set to XEO after a week on service center in Poland, even flashing it multiple times it wouldn't change from it, till I put my Germany SIM and press YES. Hope it helped a bit
It will change the last of them not all CSC
My was
DBT/DBT/XEO
and normal is
DBT/DBT/DBT
I got Canadian N960W Note 9 (Snapdragon) and first time I put Croatian SIM card CSC hasn't changed.
PDA: N960WVLU1ARJA
Active CSC: BMC (Bell Mobility Canada)
I'm still looking if there is a way to inject local CSC (SEE or DHR) into this firmware in order to get volte/vowifi. I don't really care about updates/OTA.

You need to check that your Cell Provider offers WiFi Calling and VolTE capabilities.

I will move soon to New Zealand but I want to use my note 9 bought in Chile. The question is this:
If I flash the NZ firmware on my note could I be able to use a NZ sim and use it?
Thanks in advance! And a happy new year :laugh:

they are already unlocked, you just need to check if they use the same bands in NZ.
I used my N9 in England without a problem with the stock firmware.

What model is your device sm-n960F or SM-N9600 i am in NZ and have SM-N9600 which is the Asia and south american variant
there is no NZ Firmware for it and you wont be able to receive VOLTE (Some helpful error about not being supported on this software version) but you can get Wifi Calling from 2degrees

Mine is n9600 too, so could I use my phone over there? That could be excellent if it's true! :highfive:
Thanks you so much! :laugh:
It works on the relevant bands including rural 700mhz 4g so long its not carrier locked it works 98% (no VOLTE)
I bought a used S21+ and it was a T-Mobile branded model (Dutch). It had TNL/TNL/TNL/EUX/TNL. I use a Vodafone SIM so it would not do VoLTE and VoWiFi and such.
So, I downgraded it to May 2021 AUE1 so I could use SamKEY which worked fine with eBay credits.
I wanted to have it full unlocked unbranded as it will probably get faster One UI 4.0 for unbranded. So I went for PHN which is Netherlands Unbranded.
It worked fine in SamKEY with eBay credits and it passed and rebooted with no errors and instantly gave me the My VOdafone app install prompt so I knew it worked.
VoLTE and VoWiFi are working fine now, however, upon checking my CSC in Software Info I noticed it now shows PHN/PHN/PHN/EUX/TNL. Why is that last TNL still there?
Can I somehow make it FULL PHN? Or does this last 5th TNL not affect anything?
Back when I had my Note 9 and also changed CSC on that one (Vodafone branded to PHN unbranded) it fully changed all of them so I kinda expected this one to do so as well..
