Hi I bought the s20 Fe(SM-G781U1) from the United States through a friend as I wanted the Snapdragon variant of the phone. I currently reside in India and I'm having network issues with my local sim provider not to mention the lack of call recording features the Indian s20 fe enjoys. Recently samsung has launched 5G Snapdragon varaint in India as well. I was hoping get some guidance and help from the forum on how to switch the ROM to the Indian Snapdragon variant. Thank you!
You can't flash a different ROM on your phone. Get rooted with Magisk, install edxposed, there's modules that can enable call recording features. Info is out there in the forums here. Use search.
he bought an American version of the phone so (currently) he'd need to pay someone running a bootloader unlock service before he could root it.
it might be worth contacting Samsung about your problem if you can prove the sale with a receipt. they might take mercy on you and arrange for it to be flashed to Indian firmware, no guarantees but worth trying. find out from your network which frequencies you need with them. I've never tried it but back in the day there was some method thru which you could activate frequencies

copied from Quora "you can try *#*#4636#*#* dial this and go to phone settings(phone info or 1st option ) then select on three dot at right upper corner there you will find find radio frequency option select on it and choose any.may be it work because smartphone itself decide better frequency you can choose it"

Hi all, looking to get a Galaxy S, saw this post. Should I wait and see whether they arrive here?
"Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and US Cellular all decided to give their respective versions of the Galaxy S fancy trademarks, but not lil' Cellular South: the regional is just sticking with Sammy's original name for a change of pace. This would also seem to be the closest North American Galaxy S to its European cousin, featuring the standard industrial design and what appears to be a fairly stock TouchWiz load (if you can really call TouchWiz "stock") atop Android 2.1. Oh, there is one nice bonus, though: this version's got an LED flash for the 5 megapixel camera, a feature many variants left out. It includes a 16GB microSD card pre-installed to complement the 2GB of internal storage, and it's available right now for $199.99 on contract after a $50 rebate. Follow the break for the full press release."

Verizon's Galaxys S model also comes with with flash so will only be availble on their network, but afaik verizon don't offer a mobile network in the UK??? Best bet is buy an unlocked version on ebay. Also a big thing with the Verizon model is that Microsoft must have paid them some big bugs as the default search widget uses Bing
Also if you look at the image below of verizon "Samsung Continuum a Galaxy S phone" notice the ticker display the only and first phone to ever offer such

Hi,
I'm going to get a Note 5 SM-N920C.
I'm planning to use it in Germany, because the C variant covers all LTE-frequencies for T-Mobile Germany.
But I'm wondering, which of the many country variants of the firmwares available for the N920C is the best to use in terms of:
- integration of german language
- no preinstalled bloatware/carrier or country specific apps
- and last but not least: which is the most current one that matches my two criterias above.
Thanks
Are you going to root?
Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk
No, I want to use it stock
I purchased one for myself at Doha airport, and been using it with the shipped firmware (OJ5) without any problems in Norway for like 3 weeks now. No carrier junks or anything...This is the first device in long long time, I am actually considering to use without root (i normally root the first day)!
Which country variant is your firmware?
UAE
and what csc version is it? xsg?
I have the UAE variant too and I'm in the United States. I tried a lot of firmwares from the sammobile and what happens is that the rom number will change but the baseband stays the same. However, if you go to the service menu(*#*#2263#*#*), you can choose the bands that are available on the phone.

Thank you for your advice, so your xsg Firmware is without Carrier- and/Or bloatware?
Yup! This was not bound to any carrier, and i was surprised how much bloatware samsung has reduced compared to Note 4.
Ok, thank you. So I'm going to Flash the XSG version if it's not already preinstalled. Note 5 should arrive by the end of the week.
With the recent official Lineage build for Z3C, I imported a cheap 5803 from Hong Kong to play around with. Installed Lineage, and noticed I was only getting an Edge connection on T-Mobile. Re-installed a "stock" ROM via Flashtool/Xperifirm, and the problem persisted. I've had two 5803's in the past, with the same carrier, and had no problems with the data connection. Going into the "Configuration" service menu, I looked at the available bands, and it seems like lots are missing (basing my expectations on FrequencyCheck). Am I confused, or is there something wrong/different with this phone?

Service Info > Model Info shows D5803?
That's the confusing thing, the settings do show model D5803. After searching the forums more, I found another thread from a user that has a similar problem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/help/d6603-brand-device-basebands-missing-t3316118 -- phone flashed with a different model firmware. I guess the person I bought from was dodgy.
The only thing I can think of is:
in the compartment where the SIM card is, there is a white plastic slip that you can pull out. It will have the model number on it. Mine specifically says "Model: D5803". You have to pull the strip almost all the way out to read it.
I recommend using a pin to pull it out. There's a little hole/slit that you can poke the pin through. Do it slowly and avoid pulling the slip all the way out, as I suspect it would be difficult to slide back in if you pull it out too far.
I purchased a Samsung Galaxy FE unlocked, in Mexico, from a legitimate seller (Amazon). Of course, I was aware of the 4G only and Exynos processor situation, but still, it was fine for my regular needs.
The S20 FE was wrapped in the original sealed packing, so it looked well. However, when I opened it, the charger was not American type but European. That was weird... I initialized the phone and was fine. I started to install all my stuff, but when I tried to configure Samsung Pay, it said that the service was not supported on my phone (see picture 1).

It was wrong because, in Mexico, we have Samsung Pay. So I did some research, and I found that my phone was from Chile looking at the service provider software version (see picture 2).
The CHO code is for Chile.
Since asking for a phone change will take a long and, besides that, the phone works fine, I prefer to change the service provider software version to a Mexican one. Is it possible to do that? If so, does it make my phone "Mexican", so I can use SamsungPay? Please let me know.
¡¡Gracias!!
did you find any solutions?
It is totally possible to just download the correct firmware and flashing it with Odin, should hopefully fix problems like this. The OP was right, the phone was grabbing Chilean CSC and applying its regional configurations.
@abaceromx21 boot into download mode and take a look at the Knox counter.
Hello, my name is Matias, I am from Argentina, I have this great phone. My question is the following, in my country 5G is being implemented little by little, but until now I have not been able to see/connect to said network, the maximum that appeared on my phone was 4G+, guided by this post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/is-your-5g-working-in-uk-on-x30-pro-china-variant.4546301/) I realized that I have the GSM/WCDMA/LTE (PRL) option selected by default and below I have the NR option (and its derivatives) searching a bit I found that the acronym NR refers to New Radio and is based on 5G, if someone could give me more info I would appreciate it.
Thanks
p.s.: in the mobile network part I have activated the 5G option (recommended)
