Can I convert a n9600 to N960U unlocked ? I don't need the dual sim and it seems to be the identical version. I ideally want to use science. Firmware's flashable updates.

can someone please tell me the definition of tmb xaa spr in the service provider sw version please..i have a unlocked note 8 sm-n950U tmobile brand brought from samsung with metropcs service.im currently not able to use VolTE or wifi calling and other featured, I don't know why?how can I fix or flash to correct this.
Any opinions or suggestions are appreciated thank you
TMB is your active CSC. XAA would be the recommended CSC of your SIM card. SPR is the original CSC of the phone. Although it doesn't really matter, that means your phone was originally a Sprint phone which doesn't make sense according to how you stated you purchased it.
Only the first 2 are important. Metro PCS uses T-Mobile's network so TMB CSC is makes sense. You don't have VoLTE because you are running the unlocked firmware. Many people think it's better to run the unlocked firmware because of less bloat. However when you don't run the carrier's firmware, you may loose certain carrier features, like in your case VoLTE. IMO it's better to run the carrier's firmware & debloat it, unless you are rooted.
Unfortunaty with Oreo there's no way to enable VoLTE without root. Flashing your carrier's firmware should enable it. I'm not sure if Metro PCS has their own firmware, if they don't, flash T-Mobile's firmware.
Since the N9600D is a Snapdragon device, would it be possible to flash canadian firmware for the 960w on the phone using ODIN without root? I am looking to install a Canadian CSC. Would it work and would I lose dual sim functionality?
There is no root

No.
Hi, did you figure out how to do this?? i just bought a N9600 and am having a very hard time getting stuff to work with it being on Panama CSC
I am thinking about getting a n9600 snapdragon hk (for rooting). I know that a n9600 has an unlocked BL. After rooting with twrp and using weta rom the n9600 snapdragon reportedly works on Verizon. (if you have an activated sim already.)
My question is this: will an already activated Verizon sim work with a stock n9600 or is twrp/root/weta necessary to get it working with Verizon services?

Hey Guys, I got an n950u unlocked device and I need dual sim function. I was wondering if it is possible to flash n9500 (dual sim variant for HK) on n950u since the hardware for both devices is identical.
I assume most of you know that those with n950n (Korean single sim variant) have been able to flash global dual sim (n950fd) rom on their devices since both devices have identical hardware.
If the problem would be with ODIN, can I use prince Comsy's ODIN to flash such a rom?
If there is any other way to get dual sim working on n950u please share your suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
In theory you should have no problem installing the OS from the N9500 onto the N950U. However I believe the N950U has a different LTE modem, which uses different LTE bands from what is being used in the N9500.

Thanks for your reply. I did think just as you do, but when I tried to flash n9500 firmware on my n950 Odin stopped with an error and not succeeded and on the phone screen an error showed up in red saying SECURE CHECK FAILED. I also used patched odin from prince comsy and 3b but non worked for me. I assume that the issue is that n950 comes with locked bootloader while n9500 has unlocked bootloader. If you can suggest me any other ways I would appreciate that.
I have an unlocked S10 (SM-G973U1), and have flashed it with monthly Android security updates from sammobile.com several times. Since I have an unlocked S10 and want to keep it unlocked, I use the firmware with the XAA country code. I would like to ask whether the firmware for the unlocked S10 that has the country code "VZW" would be the Verizon firmware that would also convert the CSC on my phone from XAA to VZW? It looks like that, but since I use Verizon, I'm curious about it.
Thanks.
Yes, if you flash Verizon firmware on the U1 model phone you will get everything Verizon. Even the bloatware.
