960f/ds exynos can I flash any usa firmware?

Hi people I've recently purchased an unlocked international 960f/ds which happens to be from Singapore and using it here in the US. Now I got few issues with it. When i type in numbers, it does not show with hyphens aka dash. I got like,for example, 2032038080 instead of 203-203-8080 and it doesnt show what town the calling number is from. It just shows what state that number is from, which is really annoying lol. Also, there is no built-in voicemail in the phone app. Because of that, i had to install a carrier voicemail app from playstore.
Does it have anything to do with the current firmware? If so, can i fix or flash anything to get it working? if u are aware of these issues or have already solved plz let me know.

Nope u can't mate.

no u cannot flash US firmware on 960f/ds. Because the US variant is powered by snapdragon and the model which u have is powered by exynos. flashing US firmware on ur device will fry ur motherboard.
just root ur phone and change ur CSC.

@tycoon78[stoner]
In the same boat I have a n960-F using it in Canada, phone works amazing but I would like to get WifiCalling VoLTE etc. From what I've read I need to flash a local CSC
I use this Dual Sim device for work, and can't have Knox tripped, will flashing a new CSC trip knox?
A couple other questions:
Will this device ever receive OTA updates?
Am I better off selling my n960-F and purchasing a n9600 (dual sim - snapdragon)
Will I be stuck on Oreo with this phone?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I can see you've asked this a few times before, it might be worth creating a new thread and asking your question, instead of bumping old threads up.
I can't answer all of your questions but I can answer;
will flashing a new CSC trip knox? No - Unless you go to Dev options and enable OWM unlocking, you can't trip Knox.
Will this device ever receive OTA updates? Yes - as the device is still effectively stock, running stock software, you should get updates depending on what CSC you have.
Will I be stuck on Oreo with this phone? No - The SM-N960F has received Pie in multiple locations now and you can just flash it with Odin.
Will you get VoLTE ect working in Canada? According to the brief research I've done, no, you need a SM-N960W for that. I checked this and this thread.

Flashing SM-N960W Canadian firmware on a SM-N960FD UAE phone for samsung pay?

Hi,
I recently bought a Note 9 (SM-N960FD) from Duabi and went back to Canada. Now Samsung Pay is not working here at all. It gives me an error message that it is unable to connect to server.
I have been looking for solutions around for the past 2 days with no luck.
What I reached is that I have to change the CSC of my phone (which seems to be a much more complicated process than just flashing a firmware with ODIN). And some suggested that this will be of no use as my phone is exynos and Samsung Pass will not work in Canada unless it is a Snapdragon phone!!
Also the model is different here in Canada. It is SM-960W (with XAC as the unlocked version).
What do I do? I want samsung pay to work on my phone. Shall I change the CSC and flash the Canadian firmware? Is it Okay to do that with the Canadian firmware designed for a different model (960W and not the 960FD)
Please advice.
Thanks

sammobile firmware to change csc
hello,
I was in a similar case when i bought my note 9. It was from Taiwan and I am from Spain.
I flashed the spain firmware from sammobile
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/recent/
and now my Samsung pay and other apps work natively. I was told by Samsung Taiwan that flashing other csc can cause incompatibility, so take that in mind because although it may not seem real, the different versions of smartphones have different hardware.
Research a little bit from the forums.
I had the sm-n960f/ds and i installed the software from the sm-n960f from Spain.
Also, install cpu-z so that you know well what chip is installed inside and more info that could help you to fix this issue.
This is only informative, I don't take any responsibility of any damage.

unfortunately you cannot flash different model firmware on different chip.
so ure stuck. the only way id see ure spay working again might be using a vpn and choosing one of the region phone is from. but id doubt this would be a good long term solution. but as a proof of concept, it might be nice to try.

Changing CSC to enable VoLTE and VoWIFI

Hi there,
I'm about to order a Galaxy S10 directly from Samsung since they are way cheaper than what my carrier sell them. But, when I do my carrier tells me that VoLTE and VoWIFI will not work on Android phone bought from other than the one they sell...
I've read a little bit and it seems that I'd have to change the CSC of the phone, I've chatted with samkey about the particular model and it's not supported, because of bit 4 or something like that. Anyways, I've downloaded samfirm and found the firmware for my provider "VTR" but it seems that all firmwares from any provider in Canada share the same thing because what is getting downloaded is a "VLS" and the CSC one is "OYV"

I need advise to modify the firmware or options in my new phone to make it look like it's coming from my provider (Videotron) and when I insert the SIM (with NFC+VoLTE) in it I have a chance that the option will be available.
I'm an IT Specialist, I've flashed my old S7 with those files before with no luck. It's the same story with the S7, bought from Samsung, initialized with an other provider SIM though. Then flashed the phone with my provider CSC got a proper SIM card and I had them enable VoLTE on my line, but the option never showed up. I'd like to be able to enable it on my new phone, that's why I'm doing research before getting my hands on it.

Can't you just download the video tron firmware and flash it to the phone with Odin?

I sure can, just wondering if it's gonna work since last time I did that on my S7 it didn't work.
I downloaded the firmware using SamFirm v0.5.0 for 2 providers, VTR (Videotron) and RWC (Rogers) two very different providers and I compared the two CSC files using sha256 and they are both identical (I didn't test the big 5G files though, but they have the same exact file size). So I'm wondering if I'm even downloading the right thing now. It's probably multi CSC. Then does the stock Canadian Samsung firmware the same as the one I'm downloading?

It should tell you on sam firm what firmware you need to download or if you're running the current stock firmware, then just look in settings to see what base band you're on and go from there. I wouldn't flash rogers if you have another carrier, that may cause some issues.

Thanks I'll look into it a little more when I actually receive the new phone from Samsung. I wasn't going to flash a Rogers firmware, I downloaded it to do a compare and check to see if they actually are identical to VTR ones and they seem to be identical, at least the CSC files are.

many folks have found that buying direct from samsung doesn't guarantee the phone will work.
several on xfinity mobile found out the hard way.

Question Change CSC S21 ultra

Hello any solution to change csc on s21 ultra? Samkey not work

it seems there is no way curently

I did this method and it worked https://androidmore.com/change-csc-samsung/
I have a s21 ultra exynos , and a unlock phone , global version
I installed the AUT update via odin and the csc was TPA , so i did the method on the link to change to AUT and it worked but it deleted everything

but what about Carrier blotware?

Which step on the link did you exactly do? There are many options.

Any update on this? I have S21 Ultra with TPA and I want to change the CSC to BTU. I am in Canada and I hope this will help with faster updates. Also I am having problems with slow 4G uploads, and faster updates might be the solution.
Thank you..

If your device is SD then you won't be able to get BTU.
If it is exynos then you can flash the BTU firmware.
Your 4g speeds may be slow if you do not have the correct csc files for your provider. Eg: having BTU for Rogers may not get your the speeds you are looking for.

I used the link in this tread and I selected BTU, but I did not pay attention that it was mentioned that is Single. Now I have BTU, but I have some problems receiving SMS and I cannot go back to TPA. When I try *#272* IMEI# it does not do anything. Any idea what I have to do to go back to Dual SIM?

You will not be able flash Canadian CSC on an exynos device.
First you have to root the device and Either you or some else will have to edit the canadian csc file to make it compatible wtih exynos.
Some one has done for me in the past with note 8 but that dev is no longer in XDA.
The other option is to root and then copy the required csc files.
With this there is a high chance that the imeir related files can get corrupted.

You can flash any other file with multicsc.
There is no reason for you not recieve sms with BTU csc. However, if it does happen fhe csc firmware that is the original one. i.e look at the third tri letter in the csc info.(this third letter never changes , more like hard coded)

I do get SMSs but, I was not able to get one from my bank. The 3rd 3 letters are still TPA. I do not know if it is normal, but the dual sim menu has much fewer options. I can choose from what sim to call only after I dial at least one digit. And When I try to activate Dual sim always on, the toggle still stays off.
For the Canadian CSC, I suspected that it will be impossible to flash. I used to be on TPA and now I am on BTU, I had problems slow upload speed on 4G. Now is a bit better, but the download is staying around 50-75. before I had 160-300 Mbps.
Where I can get Multicsc and do I have to root the phone?
Thank you.

Rooting won't help you much with signal or speed of data, unless you have to flash some modified csc files.
Your problem could also be the absence of the required bands,whuch may be lacking in exynos.
I have a SD version ( decided to go wtih non root this time as most of the things that need root can be done with adb anyways. Also there is root for SD too these days) so cannot help you much.

I am missing only one band, and this is not a problem. B29 in LTE. Al the rest are there. My question was more like is it normally to loose t some fucntciuts of Dual sim manager and and is there an easy way to change back and forth CSC without rooting. I do not want to root. Thank. you

Chainging csc is easy by flashing the CSC file. Rooting won't affect it. Rooting has its downsides.
Your loss of dual sim fn could be related to csc but BTU should support full dual sim fn.

SM973u update ?

Hello,
Forgive these noob questions.
I live in France and I bought a galaxy S10.
It happens to be a US model: G973u
I installed android 12 by flashing G973USQU6HULD, G973UOYN6HULD carrier unknow (DSH)
It stays with the T-mobile overlay
1 Can I flash it with firmware for G973F?
2 Otherwise, if I flash with USA carrier (USC) will this overlay disappear?
3 In this case should I flash everything or just the CEC file?
Thank you

No, you cannot flash with 973F, as that phone has different hardware (Exynos CPU versus Snapdragon).
You can try a different USA carrier, but I don't know if it will be very different. I don't know what "overlay" you're talking about, but many carriers do various things to brand the device, and I'm not sure which ones do what.
You may consider flashing with U1 firmware, which is the "unlocked" version. In the US, this then identifies which carrier you are on, and then activates features specific to that carrier when it sees the correct SIM card. Since you're not going to have a US carrier SIM, it should stay in "unknown" mode (XAA). I just helped another user in Europe with an update for his phone, that happens to be stuck in a similar state. He used an ATT U-ROM, because that's what he already had... I don't know if he had this "overlay" you're talking about.
You could even see if there is a carrier that does match what you have in France, and see if you can find a ROM for that. There is a decent list of CSC codes here: https://www.droidviews.com/how-to-change-csc-in-samsung-galaxy-phones/
I'm not sure what "CEC" file you are talking about on your #3 question.

Hi Schwinn
Thank you for your answer
I wanted to write CSC not CEC
In overlays, I was talking about T-mobile's splash screen and non-uninstallable apps.
Pardon my English

Hi
I am the other european guy with the G973U ATT. I dont have any overlays or ATT Bloatware installed, even though I dont have a U1 software. How is the flashed software Version running on your device? How is the battery life? Did it change after the flashing? Im curious cause I also have the Snapdragon model of the s10 and the battery life is not bad but i expected more for Snapdragon.

Hi Lessy,
It's a new equipment bought at professional seller in Rakuten.com I flashed it via ott to obtain android 12 and changed the firmware with 'unknow carrier' but it didn't made any difference. I will try with 'USA' carrier

@Fast_Lessy You made a good point on your other thread... that maybe the ATT version is causing you the issue. The theory is that if the carrier isn't recognized, it could be working harder to maintain a connection or something. Unfortunately, for you in Switzerland, the S10 is normally the Exynos, so the ROMs that support you officially are going to be for that CPU (G973F variant of the hardware). So, you can't use those ROMs on the USA version (Snapdragon CPU).
I think you may consider trying the XAA version of the ROM, as this may be more flexible to work with your carrier. In the USA, this version will "adapt" to the SIM as needed. In your case, it can't adapt to your carrier, because it doesn't know how to do that, but maybe it would remain more "world compatible"? I'm just guessing...
Assuming you want to try that, you'd change to the U1 version (G973U1) and get the XAA ROM. For example, these: https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G973U1/XAA
I'd suggest sticking to A11, but you can certainly try A12 if you want. However, note that you might want to wipe the phone before doing this, because it may be different from the "U" version you have now.
Note, the U1 is what I have on my phone now. This shows up as Provider Version SAOMC_SM-G975U1_OYM_TFN_RR_0009 (I'm on an S10+, and I'm on CSC TFN/TFN/SPR. The OYM means it's the "XAA"... not sure why this happens, but that's what I have heard. OYN means it's the multi-CSC ROM for USA, but on the "U" version, instead of U1.
As before, the risk is yours... please don't blame me if things don't work out, but I will help as much as I can! And always backup anything important to you before doing anything.

I tried to flash G973U1 without success (SHA error) so I flashed android 12 with "USC " CSC for G973U after a total wipe.

The phone works but I still have the red T-mobile start image and the T-mobile application.
It seems that all firmware are like this. I stop searching

If you did an upgrade install with ODIN, yes that will likely happen since upgrade won't "remove" the previous settings and setup. You would have to try a clean "refurbish" install, and that might clean that out.
Of course, I assume you don't have a TMO SIM card either, correct?

Yes I installed with odin after wipe user and cache in recovery mode. I have a SFR (french provider) card.
