Which one?
What's the best unlocked ROM so far?
Panama, Ecuador, Paraguay, Bolivia, Trinidad and Togabo, Colombia, Chile, Brazil, Peru and "UNKNOWN".
Any reason to prefer any specific region?
it is too late
when android 10 will be released for SM-N9600 Hong Kong version !
I have one of these TGY (from Hongkong) N9600 devices... It is still stuck on the Dec security patch, NOT sure if Android 10 will ever make it. All updates so far have been slow.
I use the device mainly because I need to maintain 2 different phone numbers, so the dual-sim helps. But using it on AT&T postpaid, the service sucks... NOT to hijack this thread but I can't seem to pull anything above 25MBPS or push above 2MBPS, NO matter where I am. My wife's iPhone is easily able to download at 100+MBPS. May be it is time to jump over to the dark side (?)

Yeah, got the update but the battery life sucks now... I wonder if changing the CSC would help with the problems I reported above...
BTW, the internal memory on my Note-9 is encrypted... After the android 10 update, the start-up screen is in Chinese. Anyone else seeing this? How do I change this to English? After entering my pin & successfully booting up, everything else is in English as expected. So it is just the start-up screen...
Help appreciated. Thanks

Has anyone received an update of android one ui on the unlocked variant of the note
Which varient you are referring to? For which country?
Unlocked us variant SM-N960U1
We'll more than likely be last to get it. Yes it's unlocked but it still needs be "certified" by each carrier to work on their network.
All the carriers have to certify it? Cause I don't know if the US unlocked version works on Sprint.

Carrier branded and US unlocked have all the same hardware, the only difference is the software.

I don't think the carriers have to certify the update. The unlocked version should only have to be certified by Samsung and then sent OTA.
The unlocked versions are typically late to the upgrade party regardless of the reason unfortunately.
"Unlike other OEMs, Samsung certifies unlocked updates on all four carriers, which leads to delays."
https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/01/31/samsung-galaxy-note-9-on-att-gets-its-pie-update/
Finally found where I read it at.

But there's no mention there of what, if anything, is the source of that information.
Also, it doesn't say that the carriers certify the updates. It says Samsung certifies the updates on each carrier.
Yeah looks like I got it glip flopped on the certification.
I'm not saying I'm happy or agree that it should take so long for unlocked versions to get updates, but if there are more certifications required, then it makes sense that it would take longer.
I assume that when Samsung goes to get a device certified on a carrier, that carrier still has to give the green light and say it's good to go.
Wow, this is so annoying, evone is happy with his one ui.

Of course. Why wouldn't you be able to? You're on the latest official build for the U1. When an update is released, it will get pushed to you via OTA. Just like all the other monthly updates you've received.

I don't have a link, but you can download it with the SamFirm tool. That's the fastest and most reliable way to download firmwares.
For Sprint carrier, the unlocked version is supposed to start roll out Feb. 21. This is what was told to me when i contacted support asking why carrier note 9 got the update but mine has not.

The U1 unlocked modules will all get the update at the same time. And since it's pushed by Samsung and not the carriers, I'm not sure I would trust Sprint's word on that.

On your screen from your first screenshot scroll down a bit and you'll should see the 3 csc/csc/csc code. Eg XAA/XAA/SPR....
Assuming you have an international sim card in phone:
The last csc code in that group is the phone's Carrier (like AT&T, T-mobile and Sprint).
Then go to Sammobile.com/firmware and look for:
SM-N950U
(Your CSC code)
Read this thread if you want to change your sm-n950u to sm-n950u1:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-sm-n950u-u1-t3685884
SM-N950U IS Carrier phone
SM-N950U1 IS Non-carrier phone (So less bloatware)
Oh and You can NOT flash SM-N950F firmwares on SM-N950U/U1 phones!!! Different cpus! (Exynos (sm-n950F) and snapdragon (sm-n950u/u1))!

Hmm you should see the 3 Csc in that screen like mine .
What model does the "General " tab say?
SM-N950U
OR
SM-N9500
???
Bit confused about your phone info screen.
This is mine: (my phone is SM-N950F and I'm in Canada on a Canadian carrier.)
But the country origin says UK/GB XEU
Your country of origin is Hong Kong and model SM-N950U!
Shouldn't your model be SM-N9500?
Can you get into download mode and see your model or recovery mode? If you get anything other then English language let us know.
My General screen:
On the "Hardware" tab make sure it says Qualcomm 835 not anything else like Mediatek...

SM-N950U. I assure you there's no service provider sw version section on software information and there's no model on download mode. That's what I'm confused about.

Quick question, do I need only UK CSC?
E.g. If I flash a BTU firmware on an ITV phone is it going to work, or given that it is a multi CSC it will just switch to ITV when I insert the sim?
Got this new beta and the best thing about it the keyboard which seems much better at auto correct now.

I use combination firmware and Realterm to change CSC. I successfully changed CSC to BTU (England). I flashed BTU firmware. Run phone and turn on Samsung members App. Registration to BETA program pop-up on me. But when I click it and click enrol to start firmware download I get error that my SIM card is not from correct region. Even when sim card was not in phone. Only solution is to buy Sim card from England operator which I cant in my country. So I was unsuccessfull. Hope someone who has ability to download firmware will get download link a share it here with us. Thanks you very much and sorry for my bad English.
Could anyone do this who lives in the UK?

Not at all mate, thanks for trying at least. Seems an OTA is the only way to get it without the samsung members method. Hopefully someone catches it soon, itching to update.
I think we will have to wait for the second beta, so that those who could not because they formatted, can do it there
Has anyone made use of this new chat feature on the Samsung stock message app? I click on it to enable but nothing seems to happen. I don't know if it's to do with some future Google rcs chat option? Do you guys know much.

Guys,
Does Google Pay work for anyone on this beta?
For me (I'm on the Russian ROM (SER) and installed the beta unofficially, via "update.zip"). Now Google Play Store says device uncertified and Google Pay doesn't... well... pay.
Samsung Pay does though. I hate it though.
When I flash CHC rom via Odin. It says successful. But when I first setup the phone. It is stuck at activating phone page. I agree with all terms. When I click on Next, nothing happen. I can not go pass that stage. With TGY or BRI rom, there are no problem like this.
I want to change to CHC rom for native call recorder. I have try install TGY rom, then use Samkey to change csc to CHC. It restart but still there is no native call recorder option.
Anyone have the same issue?
Hey, i have a question for you since you own HK version.
Are you living in HK?
Does it miss any feature like Volte? Or 5g?
Anything worth noting before importing one?

So you don't need the full CHC firmware? Did you face any issue?

No s21 has radio in any region. You can download FM application from the store.

I have tested the 9980 in my region which is kuwait.
Dual sim works, volte works, 5g on sim 2 only, u ca not have both 5g.
Haven't tested call quality tbh and just went with the exynos that is being sold here.
Also i have some friends who reported that they lost 5g after some updates.
So you guys can check and make sure.
CHC firmware received update today that enables 5G on both SIM.
TGY/BRI should follows.
Hi,
I recently purchased a G9980 from Asia and received the BRI CSC version.
I've tried a 5g Giffgaff SIM in slot 1 and 2 and can't get 5g in a 5g area.
I've done a bit of research that says that there are 5g problems with the BRI version in Europe, but the listed problems seem to be mostly about 5g not being listed in the network options 2g/3g/4g/5g etc which is present in this version so not sure if changing the CSC will fix that.
Can anyone shed any light before I go down the samkey route to changing to TGY as to whether this will work?
Thanks in advance

I've done a bit of research that says that there are 5g problems with the BRI version in Europe, but the listed problems seem to be mostly about 5g not being listed in the network options 2g/3g/4g/5g etc which is present in this version so not sure if changing the CSC will fix that.
Can anyone shed any light before I go down the samkey route to changing to TGY as to whether this will work?
Thanks in advance

Changing CSC is NOT possible with Samkey for G9980. You'll have to use ODIN to flash the CSC.
On Sammobile I checked and both TGY and BRI seem to have the same CSC file lol

Oops. So what does that mean? It's been uploaded/labelled wrong? Do I need to source from elsewhere?

Although reading in the S20 forum the same thing was said about the S20 that the firmware was the same just needed to swap the CSC in samkey Here so maybe it's the same for S21 ultra? To be honest this CSC stuff is new to me so I'm probably not understanding it properly. Thanks for your help so far!

On HK variant, no need to change CSC if you just want to enable some 5G bands and make 5G work. Did you already try methods on the link I shared specially the "Remove NR Whitelisting" one?

Sorry I struggle to navigate the XDA website on mobile. The layout is not great. So I didn't see all your post but now that I have read it, it seems to be exactly what I need! I'll try it when I get home later and I can concentrate on not messing it up and can check the band's I need. I'll report back layer. Thanks again!

Hi!
It worked! Thank you so much for your help!
I didn't get the 800mbs above, only 200, but it's a good start! Cheers!

The speed depends on your location and network.
Thank you.
So do I gain anything from changing to TGY which seems to be universally recommended over BRI? Faster updates? Less bloatware? Anything else?
