Hi all,
I bought my Galaxy Note 9 mainly for Samsung Pay and just realized that there is a regional lock for Samsung Pay. (I don't care about other things like VoLTE or Wifi Calling).
My Note 9 is SM-N9600 and the CSC is TGY (Hong Kong).
I wonder whether there are any ways to change the CSC from Hong Kong to USA so that I can use Samsung Pay in US?
I have read lots of posts in this forum, but got no luck. There are some related threads:
for S8/S8+: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/guide-changing-csc-s8-s8-root-t3799045
for N960FD: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/note-9-n960fd-dual-sim-csc-change-oxm-t3841000
same question but no answer: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/help/changing-csc-to-u1-usas-samsung-pay-t3801639
My understanding is that:
- To change the CSC (especially from SM-N9600 to SM-N960U), we must reflash the firmware.
- SM-N9600 does not have any firmware having USA CSCs.
- We can get the USA CSCs from N960U and put it into the firmware of N9600, and then flash it.
- However, the modified firmware will trigger Knox and hence make Samsung Pay unusable.
Are there any suggestions or tutorials on this?
For example, will applying the firmware of SM-N960U on SM-N9600 work?
Thanks!

You cant cross flash firmware from different device versions...ie N9600 vs N960... not happening.
Those of use who have the exynos version can flash US CSC files via twrp. I would think the same would be possible for the N9600.
I search the note 9 forums for the exynos method and go from there even though im not sure if just changing csc will allow sammy pay to work

Thanks for your reply. Actually, I don't think cross-flashing will work either.
My SM-N9600 uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon, not Exynos.
Another thought is that I checked the firmware for SM-N9600, and found there is a version for Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico is listed in the US's Samsung Pay Reward program.
I wonder whether I will be able to safely flash it, and use the Samsung Pay.

If you have an N9600 then yes you can flash any N9600 firmware. Whether or not pay works I cant say sorry
Probably you can try flash HK firmware but with US CSC?
But not 100% sure...
Did you try add adding the card? You would miss out on Samsung Rewards but it should work, myself and some other I have read about just added the card to Samsung Pay and it did work, it does for me. I just can't use and claim the rewards points.

Thanks! I think it may work.
However, what I want is the Samsung Rewards...
I heard a rumor that flashing the Mexico firmware and putting in a Mexican Sim card (off ebay) in before booting up would get Samsung Pay to work.
I want to test it, but I don't have a phone to test with
I have n9600 and have Samsung pay working is US. Just used appbackup and archived Samsung pay framework and Samsung pay from my TMo Note 8 and installed it on the Note9. Have TMo SIM and works fine. Now only if I can figure out a way to get wifi calling working.....

Then my guess is you're out of luck unless you purchase a new US version phone or wherever you're from.

I believe the only way to do so is rooting your phone and using the following guide:

No way to do it as of today without root unfortunately.
I'm sorry but I was saying I've done it, not that it should be possible. Not only with my note 9 (N9600) but with my previous Note 8 (N9500) as well. So your statement seems to be not really correct.

Hi hechon,
Thanks for sharing! Could you please provide more details?
- Can I use Samsung Rewards and get the promotions from USA?
- What is appbackup and how can I use it to archive and restore the backuped apps?
Thanks.

I was able to install the US Saumsung Pay and log in. However, the home tab says that "You're offline".
Let me explain what I did:
- I downloaded App Backup Lite on my previous US S8 and then backed up Samsung Framework and Samsung Pay.
- I reset my Note 9 without installing Samsung Pay.
- I installed the backup Samsung Framework and Samsung Pay.
- When I installed Samsung Framework, the system said that "I upgraded the installed Samsung Framework".
- When I installed Samsung Pay, the system said that "I installed it".
- I opened Samsung Pay and logged in. The home page shows "You're offline", but the other pages look ok.
- I went into the setting in Samsung Pay and reset the app. However, it did not fix the problem.

I think this requires rooting the phone, which trips Knox and disables Samsung Pay.
I have heard about that you can use the SM-N9600 firmware but replace the CSC file from SM-N960U. Someone claims that he successfully did this on his note 7. However, I noticed that after S8, Samsung updates their bootloader and this way may brick the phone. Any idea?

Hello. I used to install custom roms like crazy back in the Galaxy S3 days... but haven't done any rooting since.
However, I now got the Note 9 and specifically got a model that I thought was root/TWRP friendly. But now that I'm looking though this forum, I'm not sure what's what.
I found "[Recovery][Unofficial] TWRP for Galaxy Note9 (Snapdragon) N9600]" from September but OP still says "MTP and ADB does not work right now. (Working on a fix)"
I've read various things that Android Pie root isn't sorted out yet? I'm not sure what's outdated and what's current.
Can someone please point me to a guide for rooting a Note 9 SM-N9600 with Android 9 on it? It would be much appreciated.
Hello Guys,
So I bought a pixel 5 from the US (through amazon "003.C1"). When it arrived to my country (Bahrain) I realized that 5g is locked by google to few carriers only.
and I realised that both 5g and VOLTE is not working even though they work just find with my brother S20 Ultra.
I rooted my phone in hope to find a way to enable 5g and VOLTE.
is there anyway to unlock it ? i heard oneplus users had to change a file.
I was able to locate the carrier MBN files. Im not sure though if I can just edit them or I will have to have them edited through magisk. it seems like the files are getting regenerated on boot. unsure though

I tried using the patch in this thread. Interestingly enough after using it now I can see the VOLTE option in the settings. However it doesn't seem to work. Even when enabled whenever I'm on a phone call I can't use the internet
I got the UK variant to Kuwait, same problem no VoLTE no 5G

I dont think the variant matters, I think all variants will work with all certified carriers.
I believe somehow we need to add the profile of our carrier to allow for both 5g and VOLTE to be enabled.
If you are willing and rooted try the one on this thread, it is suppose to be for KSA Stc but it might work with yours, however i do not think it will enable 5g, but it might enable VOLTE

What happen pro ? any updates ??
I tried few things with no luck so far.
I tried to unpack the magisk module on this thread and replace the the one mbn he use with others. There is one problem with that though. I cant find an mbm file from a 5G phone that i can replace the original with..
If we can have mbm from another phone that support 5g we might be able to be able to enable 5g.
Another problem is that i do not understand these files well and im not sure if i can just modify one or have to replace it, would appreciate it if anyone got a resource or something i can read to help me understand how these files work and if i can create one from scratch
I succesfully managed to enable 5G connectivity for my Pixel 5 in Finland. Essentially you need root and QPST tool to modify the carrier policy.

I think that in order to enable VoLTE, MBN files need to be modified. But in the case of 5G, modification of carrier policy is enough.

และฉันก็ตระหนักว่าทั้ง 5g และ VOLTE ไม่ทำงานแม้ว่าจะใช้งานได้กับ S20 Ultra พี่ชายของฉันก็ตาม
ฉันรูทโทรศัพท์ด้วยความหวังว่าจะพบวิธีเปิดใช้งาน 5g และ VOLTE

follow a guide on the process, there's a format of the data partition involved for bootloader unlock, for magisk and for internal memory encryption removal.
if you want root without TWRP follow this guide https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
if you want root AND TWRP visit the kernels recoveries and roms section, see afaneh92's TWRP thread for snap dragon.
read and read again until you've got a rough idea what you need to do. make sure you've got everything you'll need before you start.

Hey bro, idk if you will read this but i really need help with rooting an S20 FE Snapdragon. I was decided to buy an S20 Plus Snapdragon, SM-G986U, I was ready for purchasing it but just days ago I noticed in many forums here that S20 Snapdragon couldn't be rooted, only Exynos based in, so as the S20 Plus couldn't be I thought S20 FE would be the same, but reading all the replies here I think I have a hope now. I want root because I play Fortnite Mobile and root allows me to unlock 90 fps on any device. I really hope you can help me, of this depends if I purchase a new phone or not lol.
I thought u could please help me in root process of S20 FE or maybe S20 Plus if it's possible.

what country are you in ?
if you're in the US or Canada you won't be able to root now sadly. in other countries the FE with snapdragon or Exynos can both rooted
HOWEVER... if you want a 90fps refresh rate then NONE of the FE models support it, the hardware physically cannot do it. it's 60 or 120 nothing else.
Is there root for SM-G781U1/DS? It's an unlocked S20FE using Verizon.

Samsung mostly sells snapdragon flagship phones in the US and Canada, they're only locked because Samsung does what the US carriers want. but Samsung also only usually sells the snapdragon versions of it's phones in America, Canada and Asia. people think all snapdragons can't be rooted but that's not true.
if you buy a snapdragon Samsung from outside of the US or Canada you'll be be able to root it. if you buy an FE in the states you WON'T be able to unlock it, it's all about where you buy the phone.
