Hi all, I've read that T-mobile Tab users are able to flash their tabs to the European firmware to enable the phone function? Has anyone flashed an asian firmware to be able to get the phone function too? Will it brick the T-mobile Tab upon flashing the Asian firmware on it? I guess its possible since the Asian firmware supports the 2100 band and you'll be able to get 3G out of it?
I guess the 3G will work if you are using the T-Mobile Tab flashed to an Asian firmware with a foreign sim and you are not in the US.
So I have a note 8 model sm-n950u1 and I am currently using a freedom mobile (GLW) SIM card and all is good. The problem is that my on phone software update will not work , I get a registration failed or process failed error even after a factory reset. The model on my box indicates smn950uzkaxxa. I want to update to Oreo and the firmware is now available online but am unsure what firmware to get.. should it be the Oreo for the sm-950u1 with the xaa extension? Or should I just flash the freedom mobile firmware for the Canadian variant sm-n950w? I am leaning towards the first mentioned and what files in Odin do I need to flash as there are like 5 options. Thanks in advance,,,any help would be appreciated.
Anyone????

I would say use the freedom one because my U1 updated to the Verizon U1. They are the same firmware across the board but optimized for each carrier without the bloatware.
Hey all
Strange one here, i have a SM-G977B (S10 5G on EE UK), i have unlocked it and trying to flash BTU firmware on it via ODIN (download fw from sammobile)
It flashes ok and passes but when phone starts up its CSC is TEL! (Australia!!)
I have re done the flash with XEU and still the same. firmware version says TEL/TEL/EVR in settings
any ideas on this? can this model be flashed to a different region? i want it on BTU not EVR (EE UK)
tried few versions of ODIn too, and left all check boxes default
Thanks
ok, i have reflashed the latest EVR firmware back to the phone and it has taken this fine
Wonder why it doesnt like BTU or XEU?
What firmware files were you trying to flash specifically?
Sounds like you downloaded the wrong one. What are the names of the firmware files you flashed?

Hi
Tried these
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/firmware/SM-G977B/BTU/download/G977BXXS2ASJ7/299842/
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/firmware/SM-G977B/XEU/download/G977BXXS2ASJ7/299840/
The above all flash on in Odin, but when the phone starts (even with uk sim in the phone) it defaults to Australia language and 2x Telstra apps install automatically, software info says tel/tel/evr
I then tried this one:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/firmware/SM-G977B/VOD/download/G977BXXU2ASJ5/299590/
And the above install the 2x Vodafone uk apps automatically which is fine as I am on Vodafone uk but in software Info is still says vod/vod/evr
What my issue is now is I don’t seem to get 5g on this phone even though I’m on a a 5g contract and has worked previously on a note10+ 5g handset.
Is this handset 5g modem locked to ee?

Did you enable OEM unlock in developer options before flashing?
I am waiting for delivery of an EE branded S10 5G tomorrow and planned to flash BTU firmware

OK, well I have always had to do that to change CSC via FW flash since the S9 range was released in 2018.
I am waiting for postman to deliver my S10 5G today so will try to flash BTU with OEM Unlock enabled, and let you know the outcome.
(If it doesn't work for me, i will do same as you and flash a network specific FW via Odin - H3G is my network provider).

If you go to software information in settings, does it say h3g/h3g/evr?

Yes exactly. My product code is also SM-G977BZAAEVR, so its always going to be an EE UK handset
Hello,
I have the same phone (SM-G977B), I exchanged it with someone in Shanghai (without a box, stupid me)
It was rooted with some CHC firmware (which did not let me download any Google play services), I tried to root the phone (my first time) and ended up re-locking the bootloader.
Later on, while trying different things, I ended up deleting the firmware from TWRP (as I formatted the data, cache folders/directories) as it was not booting up (bootloop on Samsung logo).
Long story short (and rather sad and stupid):
I have a brick phone which has no SD card slot, No OS installed, I do not know the original CSC (except that it was bought in some country in Europe), other firmwares does not flash with Odin (gives me Repartition error failed error), I am unable to mount the device (thought I could transfer the firmware using MTP), I can not change TWRP (downgrade or upgrade) as disk won't mount (for some reasons). I have formatted the disk, changes its format to ext4, ext2 etc.
Any ideas?
Hi guys,
Need some help. I bought my Note 8 online(SM-N950FZKDXSG). Didn't realize it was coming from UAE.
In my Service provider SW vr. I see XSG/XSG/XSG but in Phone INFO i see Firm CSC is XEF, Active CSC is XSG and CSC country is UAE.
I'm with Koodo Mobile in Canada (KDO) and want OTA updates and WiFi calling, etc. How do I change to KDO?
It seems like all canada models are 950W and so is the firmware I need? SamFirm doesn't have the 950F and KDO together.
A little help please and thanks

I stand to be corrected but I believe the Canadian note 8 uses the Snapdragon processor, while UAE uses Exynos, so you can't flash the filmware you want unfortunately, it would probably just brick the phone.
So I can't change the CSC to recieve OTA updates from Koodo or its parent company Telus?
Another interesting thing is for a brief time I was using LTE but I lost that for some reason about a year ago.

Sorry you can not get any Canadian OTA from Canadian Carriers but you should get OTA from Samsung itself for XSG. If not you can always download N950F firmware for XSG with samfirm.exe and use odin to flash phone.
I have and used N950F CSC: XEU with Fido and Virgin and I have 4+/LTE just fine with the default CSC XEU. Also I get OTA updates. You might want to check/change your sim card or check APN settings if you lost LTE or might want to switch sim slots if your phone is a duel sim phone. Also might call Koodo to see if they didn't cut lte off on there end. I would change sim card for a newer one if your sim card is an old one.
If you have a friend on another network or same network maybe you can try their's sim on your phone.
Last resort is to BACKUP your phone and do a factory reset.
Good Luck!

I'm not at all sure about the CSC. I don't want to give you the wrong information. I thought the CSC changed by inserting a sim anyway...
As for losing LTE, maybe have a look at the APN settings and see if it is correct for your network.
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will comment for you.

you could change to your country but you have to root your phone.
I am trying to flash ATT's firmware to a U1 or U phone but CSC does not change. In software details I see XAA/XAA/XAC while I should be seeing ATT/ATT/XAC. I am on CSL1 firmware (android 10).
Did samsung change something in Android 10? I have done that in S8/S9/note 9 and I never had problems

i flashed the XAA U1 on my S9 and its showing AIO(Cricket) in my software from service provider area and it did this as soon as it saw the SIM
Do you have VoLTE and Wifi calling on U1? I am flashing the U from AT&T just because I want the wifi calling and VoLTE. In U firmwares I see that CSC does not change now
I don't get why I can easily get WiFi Calling and VOLTE with the unlocked version using Verizon or TMo but not with AT&T... Very frustrating as their signal is awful inside my home...
I finally switched to Verizon for service but should not have too.
Hope you can make it work!
