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
Check this thread. The solutions may work in your country.

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

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!

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?

I posted the same question on the S8+ forum:

My Exynos S8+ SM-G955F doesn't offer this option for selection, only 2.4 GHz.
I suspect the 5 GHz option for hotspot is only available on the Snapdragon version...

Well, your SM-N950U1 should be the Snapdragon version.
Now let's see if also the international Exynos version has the band selection option.

I'm on the Korean Exynos N950N and I have it.
Actually both the posts were useful, so now I know that this option can be available both on Snapdragon and Exynos version.
It looks like that there is no limitation in the Exynos SOC itself, it's apparently a Samsung decision to show or hide this option in the regional firmwares.
Hi guys,
Just found this old thread while searching in Google for a similar question. I have the Note 8 too, Exynos version (SM-N950F) and, as seems by the previous post, Exynos also allows to broadcast the hotspot at 5.0 GHz, so it might be a firmware limitation.
Do you know if there is any specific ROM, CSC, tweak; anything that would give me that option to use the hotspot at 5.0 GHz? I have found this post by @phatWares mentioning a quite old tool by Wanam. Can anybody confirm this still would work? I ask because I'm fully on stock on my Note, so I'd like to have some assurance before tripping Know, flashing ROM, etc.
Thanks in advance for any feedback you can provide.
I had the same question and did some research.
It seems there is a new EU directive that restricts the use of 5ghz frequencies for mobile hotspots and this is why we are running into this issue (has to do with interference with police radars and such).
Logically one way to circumvent this limitation is to change CSC to a country that does not have such limitation.
I am outside the EU and I have a EU phone with British firmware and CSC, I have yet to find a proper CSC to switch to.

Thanks for your reply aljazzair. I'm also outside of the EU and US, but I think my phone is (SM-N950F) is an international unlocked version; I don't know what that is supposed to comply to.
Are you rooted? Have you tried the tool that I've mentioned in my previous post from Wanam? It seems to be a CSC Editor that allows you to enabled the 5.0 GHz option with a checkbox.

Hi,
My phone is not rooted. Like you, I have a SM-N950F (european unlocked).
.
I did change the CSC on my phone successfully once, it was a couple of weeks ago.
.
The reason was that I was on a TUR CSC due to an OTA update whilst in Turkey with a Turkish SIM on a TIM phone which had XFE firmware.
.
I was annoyed by the resulting samsung software notifications in Turkish, which is a language I do not understand, so I wanted them gone.
.
My CSC is now BTU/BTU/TIM.
.
The procedure I used involves using odin to flash what is called a "combination rom".
The combination rom essentially replaces the stock rom with samsung software used by samsung support engineering staff for diagnosis and repair.
.
It is critical to only flash a combination ROM that is compatible with your bootloader version.
.
I had the DSG1 stock ROM with the latest bootloader when I flashed the combination ROM, so the version I used is:
.
COMBINATION_FA71_N950FXXU7ASG1_CL12991683_QB24738638_REV00_user_mid_noship.tar.md5
.
There is a seemingly cumbersome procedure to follow involving Odin, several factory resets and reflashing multiple times, and it worked flawlessly for me.
It is described here:
.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74324845&postcount=87
.
I would re-use this procedure again without hesitation.
.
But I have yet to find a CSC code that would allow 5ghz hotspot capabilities (so non-EU) whilst retaining Samsung Pay and avoiding software notifications in a language I do not understand
.
If you know of such a CSC code, pls share
Perhaps somebody that tried that Wanam application to edit the CSC could confirm? That might be worth rooting for

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

Hmm you should see the 3 Csc in that screen like mine .
What model does the "General " tab say?
SM-N950U
OR

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.

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 (?)

Help appreciated. Thanks
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?

I do not live in Hong Kong. I can't use Samsung pass or Samsung pay at all. It keep singing in screen for forever and get stucked there.
P/S: I have manage to enable native call recording by changing TGY (Hong Kong) csc to CHC (open China) csc but keep everything unchanged.

What's your location exactly?
Is it worth it to import one or I will miss something?
Thanks

I live in Vietnam. At the moment, I am totally happy with my S21 Ultra HK version. I have use exynos version before. To be honest, exynos 2100 is not bad this year. But compare to snapdragon 888, it loose on every match. Especially battery and gaming, there is still a gap.
I have flashed successfully my G9880 TGY to CHC firmware. No problem.

So you don't need the full CHC firmware? Did you face any issue?
But I guess you won't get OTA updates now?
Hola soy de España y compré la versión 9980. ¿Esta versión es compatible en mi región? ¿Funcionará correctamente? ¿La radio fm está disponible? Gracias
Translation: Hi, I'm from Spain and I bought version 9980. Is this version compatible in my region? Will it work properly? Is fm radio available? Thanks

Yes, should work fine.
Thanks for your reply. But the radio doesn't works. Any advice ? Thanks so much again ☺
No s21 has radio in any region. You can download FM application from the store.
Ummmm sorry but I read that the snapdragon version had a radio fm. Is not true ? Thanks again
Does the G9980 have a 5g Network Whitelist like the Note 20 Ultra N9860 ?
Anyone been into the service menu to verify?

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.
