International Data Icons

I know this is NOT the AT&T Thread but no one seems to know how to over on the AT&T forum. Even loading an 4.2.2 international rom I`m still stuck with the AT&T 4G/4G LTE icons, I dont really like them at all never have, On my S4 and Note 2 I just flashed an international rom or just changed the Build Prop and was able to get the international status icons.
How can I do this on my HTC One?

are you flashing a custom international rom and selecting the ATT version? if you are then they are customizing the versions to have the icons that a based on your provider. thats why you still have the blue and orange 4g icons.

Is it possible to flash Canadian firmware for US unlocked note 8?

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.

difference note 9 korean version And other

hi, sorry if I did not have to write correctly. I wanted to know what kind of difference is there between the 9 korean version notes, the processor? has limitations, less functions, different startup logo etc. if you can list all the differences. thank you

the korean N960N has the same specs as the Fs.
so its a exynos chip and not a snapdragon.
this is my second Korean Note and have been extremely pleased.
no visual issues like some have reported on ither device.
Just flawless.
concerning logo( carrier stuff there are 3 or 4 carries in Korea so you are likely to get one of those.)
since i have rooted mine, i have rebranded csc to my sims carrier.
usually they ship region unlocked. When i buy from wondamobile,
seals is broken but it is probably to remove the lock. they make a 5 minute call to lift it.
these phones don't have the oem unlock vanishing issue either.
the Korean version has no snapdragon. Does the Samsung logo appear on the ignition? but do you need to change them to work with your operator? but does it have any restrictions with respect to others?

if i remember correctly, before i rooted and modified phone, it did have that carrier logo. but phone worked fine regardless. LTE and such was all working. Yes some carrier bloat in korean but that was to be expected. I root my phones so that was not an issue.
right now running Dr. ketan rom on canadian Rogers csc and all us working fine.
but does it also work in other regions? are there any preinstalled apps? Ke stock European firmware, not Korean can you flash?

odin probably won't let you.
if you root/twrp, then flashing a custom firmware/ rom will be possible

like any rooted device OTA will stop working. you will have to manualy downlaod firmwares to keep it up to date.
right now Pies official build has arrived for N960N devices for 1 or 2 weeks now.

Note 9 Android 9.0 Beta on SPRINT

Works great...wifi calling works, carrier branding with Sprint logo on boot...WiFi calling works...strange that the install did not wipe my user data... VoLTE works by default...maybe enabled after I enabled wifi calling??? For outgoing and incoming calls...very stable...though my dark theme doesn't look right on some settings screens.
RCS works natively in the Samsung messages app.
Can not edit APNs anymore though the old methods though.
Any other Sprint users try this out???

Just curious how or why the Sprint branding was installed onto your U1 unlocked note 9. Or was the Pie version you installed a Sprint firmware specific one? Thanks.

It was not before the Android 9.0 update... Android 8.1 did not show any branding, but the Android 9.0 does. Similar to how the Samsung s8 was when you could switch carrier branding on the fly

This is what's confusing me to be honest. My T-Mobile Note 8 U model rebranded to Sprint when I inserted a Sprint sim card. I didn't think U1 models did this for the note 8 /S8 or 9 ? I thought brand switching only worked on unlocked carrier branded U variants.

You have to use shortcut master to launch the activity manually... VoiceNetworksActivity...see screenshots. The old activity shortcuts no longer work on Pie.

its a U firmware.. you can convert from U1 to U firmware.. All the firmwares are multi csc.. meaning you can install a VZW firmware for example on a sprint device and ull get sprint branding as it will use spr csc when it recognizes the spr sim card

It's a U firmware what? Reference your first sentence.
I'm aware that any U firmwares are compatible with the USA SD devices. However, my question was about OP flashing his U1 non carrier specific SD device to Pie and it branded to Sprint apparently. That's the part that confuses me.

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.

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
Whats the difference between CHA and XAA?? they both unlocked? Im in Portugal using a T-mobile unlocked with csc XAA. Any recomendations? thx in advance
