[HELP] NOTE 9, region not changed after flashing new ROM - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I got Note 9 (N960F) 3 months ago from UAE. First thing I did was installing the UK (BTU) software in it as I'm in the UK.
Even though I'm currently on N960FXXS2ARJ4 build number [UK software] as it's available at SamMobile website
My Samsung Pay is still configured to UAE. And when I click on About Phone on the settings below the IMEI numbers, there is a United Arab Emirates section showing some TRA ID number.
Could you please help?

You need to change csc using combination file before flash the firmware u want. Got many thread about that here. Try search it on how to change csc.

I too am considering to flash this firmware. Unfortunately, i got reception issue with the new CSC, N920COJV2AOJ3. I cannot touch 4 bar signals on 4G. to be honest a bit better than ex-one. anyway
The website says ,as instruction,;
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.10.7
Extract Odin ZIP file
Open Odin v3.10.7
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
please let me know your experience, if you follow them.

Have you tried changing CSC? I'm curios that 4 bar signals on 4G fixed by another CSC or not.

nope.. but someone mentioned to have built the russian csc into 920c and also to be utterly satisfied with it,considering getting better reception.
i cant say new update is the same as the ex one. but to be honest, it has still problem with reception. i think the only way for satisfaction on it is to flashing and using the russian one.

I did flash the stock russian firmware to mine(came with UAE) and the reception didn't change. And also know that flashing a rom doesn't affect the baseband(the stuff that deals with the reception). The only thing you'll notice would be the bloatware that is russia specific. I am not sure why samsung blocked the ability to flash different basebands.

I see... I noticed the phone somehow sticks to finding 4g skipping good quality reception of H or H+. I have just checked mine. 4G reception streght is shown to be 120db which is unbelievably low. Moreover, i know 3g or even 2g is very good in my area ( i live in a city) but phone skips these, just focuses on finding 4g. thats very interesting.
if I change the band option from 4g to only 3g, I always get 4 bars of 3g. I think the problem comes from its software as well. But, i do not know how to fix it.

Question

First sorry for ask here but need help . I got Galaxy S8+ SM-G955F with product code (CSC) MAX. This is from Austria (T-Mobile), and have Android v7.0.

Please can someone help and tell me is it right and can I do it without any demage. Thanks

Galaxy S10 (SM-G973F) - Vodafone Ireland Stock Rom

Hey all,
I've a Galaxy S10 (SM-G973F) and I'm with Vodafone Ireland - I recently flashed it with a custom rom (Lineage 17.1) and wasn't too pleased with it so I've decided to go back to stock.
I haven't been able to find a stock rom for Vodafone Ireland, only 3 Ireland. I tried flashing the below 3 stock roms found on SAMMobile (https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s10/firmware/#SM-G973F) but the only issue I have is when I make a call my number shows up as private regardless if I set the caller ID to network default/show.
Ireland (Three) (3IE)
United Kingdom (Vodafone) (VOD)
United Kingdom / Ireland (XEU)
Can someone confirm what stock rom I should use please?
As always, stay safe everyone

Changing my Galaxy S10 Firmware CSC while updating

Hello Everyone,
I'm new here. What brought me to this forum was the issue of not getting OTA updates due to using a model imported from another region. My device's CSC is SPR (sprint) but my local carrier works on it just fine. My problem is better elaborated here in this other post :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/question-about-flashing-firmware-from-a-different-region.4043665/
After reading the above thread I decided not to change my firmware to the model firmware for my region as its SoC is Exynos and my phone is Snapdragon. However, I still want to use Odin to upgrade the firmware to Android 11 as I'm still stuck on Android 9 (may 2019 update) and I can no longer bear it.
In the post in the above link, a reply recommended using the USA (USC) CSC, so here's my question,
Would updating with SPR (my current CSC) make my phone unable to work with my local carrier on update completion? or should I just update using USC?
PS: The SPR CSC came with no bloatware, I don't know what the USC CSC will come with.
Service provider info is attached below.
Thanks in advance.
