Anyone flashed any other carrier rom?

Here is a list of them from sammobile
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/
I think its going to be a free for all and maybe we in the verizon s8 will get love from the whole community this time, at least the US. It seems we all may have SM-G950U.
Is that correct more knowledgeable people?

I'm trying to flash to T-Mobile​ as all US networks use the SM-950U . That means they have all the bands for every network. I tried to flash through odin but if you flash the CSC file for T-Mobile , along with the other 3, the phone factory resets to stock Verizon firmware. If I just flash the AP (Actual software) and the CP (Modem file for correct bands), it works but I get a ton of bloatware from cricket, metro pcs, Verizon , and tmobile with a really glitchex out settings app. Also, without the CSC file your phone is still technically Verizon .

So we should wait? I have the Verizon version also but use TMobile.

We have to wait

I tried the method used on the S7 to flash another carrier and it does not work anymore. There's some type of carrier partition that can't be changed by odin with the CSC file, which would change that partition. If you try to flash all the files, you get an error at 32% of "upgrading your system". I heard that there is a new version of odin that lets you flash the userdata file to switch carriers from a other forum, but it's not out right now. So waiting is the only option....
Here is a forum post for the S7 edge:

Just we'll have to wait till someone figures something out. On a side note, what's the most recent update? I'm on QD9 and I'm getting an update notification for the dqa OTA fix from Samsung but I can never download it. Probably because I'm using Verizon phone on TMobile...

The latest update is QD9 and if you want to check and install updates, you can download Smart Switch from Samsung's site. Then you go to more and software updates to make sure your phone is on the latest version. I'm also on T-Mobile with the Verizon model and hate that I dont the Voice Over LTE, Wifi Calling, 4x4 mimo, etc. So yea, we just have to wait for someone to figure this out.

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing but that Samsung switch program seem to be for transferring data from other phones so I didn't bother downloading it.

I thought the same thing but along with that you can perform software updates for any carrier. Also, I recommend d doing a backup if you want to flash another carrier when it is possible.

Wow that was a pain in the butt to install. Had to install a 2008 version of visual c++. Since I don't see an option to update the phone, is safe to assume there's no update then right? If so why do I always get the update notification?

I have the same version as you and don't get any update notification. Can you add a screenshot of the notification?

Sure I'll do it next time it shows up

Here's the screenshot. Comes up from time to time and it states it's too fix the dqa issue.

Hi there, do you get LTE with t-mobile on this Verizon unlocked version?
I am asking because I grabbed one as well and I am on at&t but I can't get LTE going. When I boot the phone, it is there but within minutes, it goes to HSPA+, I tried every which way. I called at&t, gave them my IMEI and everything but still no LTE unless I reboot my phone every 5 minutes.
Thanks

You need to have the correct APN settings. I believe Verizon has the most LTE bands so it should work with basically most of the world's providers.

Ohh and yes I do get LTE

Return for another one maybe? I tried it on my work ATT Sim before and it works fine for me.

You don't have the correct bands enabled with a Verizon model when using AT&T. Verizon only unlocks bands for it's network, but tmobile shares a couple of these bands and it's it as big of an issue. At&t does not share many bands with Verizon so the phone may be struggling to even find one LTE band. The only solution would be to flash the phone to AT&T firmware, which is impossible at the moment. (I Tried)

Is there a way to force a certain band that exists both on verizon and at&t? If I can't get this going, I might have to just sell the phone. I have couple more days of patience left

You would need to find the firmware of an AT&T s8 and flash the CP file (Modem) using odin. This should unlock the correct bands. I did this on my Verizon s8 as I use T-Mobile.

Video Calling Missing on Sprint

Yes, I searched the Sprint Note 8 forum. So, I have a buddy with a T-Mob Note 8. He tried to video call me. Nothing happened. So, I went looking for the N8 manual. If you get the manual from T-Mob or VZN, they show an icon of a video camera on the dialer screen, to the left of the call button. We lucky Sprint customers have our vm icon there. WTF?! Are we the onlyN8 owners that can't do video calls? Is this because we don't (yet) have Sprint's version of "VoLTE?" Do any of you who bought an unlocked N8, running on Sprint, have this problem? Thanks for any light you can shed on this problem.

I don't know but the more time I spend with a stock note I think I could do. Perhaps my first non rooted phone since flip phones. Still got time to make the change top Verizon or AT&T... You know and actually have a useable network...

Actually, maybe T-Mob? Or is that like jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire?
I actually think you're right. This phone is great without rooting. Perhaps if we get the U version of software available for the Note 8, that might be worth flashing.

I'm trying to parse your dilemma here.
Video calling works just fine depending on what video calling service you're trying to use. There's a myriad of them out there, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Hangouts...just to mention a few.
As far as i know, there's no native interoperable carrier-to-carrier plain-jane video calling (like native SMS, for example).
Just saying "video calling" doesn't work, or that your T-Mobile buddy couldn't video call you doesn't tell us much. Was your T-Mobile buddy using any of the aforementioned video calling apps/services?
I video call family on 3 continents using either WhatsApp or FB Messenger (on iOS and Android) just fine.

My note 8 came with google DUO. I thought that was androids version of Facetime.

I guess you can refer to it as such, although Hangouts predates Duo. But for you to "Duo" someone else, they have to be using Duo as well.

If Sprint included its own video calling option, I imagine it would only work with other Sprint users, anyway. Just use one of the many video calling apps that your friends have and can use.

Weirdly that call had to begin on Wi-Fi and it would be a seamless transition to cellular data right?
Apparently the note will get that same feature, but who's to say how long until it does?

Wow, and here I was thinking XDA members were smarter than that..... Just so you'll know in the future : each carrier's network varies depending on your location. That's right! How they perform in your town isn't the same as how they perform everywhere else in the US!
Where I live, just outside of Atlanta, Sprint is has the best coverage and fastest speeds. AT&T and Verizon are gradually improving, while T-Mobile is still a joke.
The more you know....

Sprint will update for VoLTE as soon as available like they did for S8 but Sprint does not have built in video calling like T-Mobile...after trying to force the setting, it still doesn't work because there is no app...with T mobile, there is a hidden app that links to the setting...Google duo, hangout, Skype are the only options so far

I have an unlocked sprint phone, looking at the dial screen, the button to the left is for sms. I believe this is one of the many things sprint has never supported.

The Note 8 feature for Sprint Video Calling is still unavailable and Sprint customer care had no answers for me! The video caller icon should be on the dialer not the voicemail icon

That's what the issue is...the video call feature is a phone feature that allows you to video call other galaxy 8 owners...however its been disabled by Sprint when you buy a Note 8 from there network...

How to Enable WiFi Calling Option - Note 9 Unlocked (SM-N960U1) - VoLTE Setup

Note 9 unlocked SM-N60U1 doesn't have the option to enable Wifi calling or anyway to setup VoLTE on the device. The option which is available on all other versions of this phone and other Samsung phones like S9+, S8+, Note 8, Note 9 etc. is not available in this Note 9 (SM-N960U1) version
This is a real disappointment after spending more than a thousand dollar on a premium flagship Samsung phone and you find out that a basic calling function is intentionally disabled by Samsung when it is available on all other versions of the same phone. The expectation when you buy an unlocked version is that it is compatible with all the carriers and can be used freely with all without any limitation.
I have been trying to find a way to enable Wifi Calling on this unlocked Samsung Note 9 and enable VoLTE on this device but so far have been unsuccessful.
Please someone direct me to a way to enable Wifi calling on this unlocked Note 9, would greatly appreciate it.

WiFi calling is the only thing that works on the U1 for me.

it's been discussed multiple times already - to enable these extras you need to flash a carrier specific firmware, basically convert your N960U1 to N960U.
See for example: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ocked-samsung-note-9-finally-verizon-t3834685

Interesting, I guess that's a departure from their s9+, where U1 came outta the box with wifi calling enabled and working perfectly fine.

It's probably the network not allowing that menu to appear on yours. I was reading a few posts on the Canadian note 9 thread. Seems like some carriers over there limit certain functionality unless you bought their branded model. That thread is a worth a look if you haven't seen it already.

I'll look for the thread. But I doubt it. The carriers can limit the use of an option but can't just remove the option from the phone.
I have S8+ and S9+ both bought directly from Samsung and both had all the options enabled even before I put any sim in them. Check the screenshots of the S9+ it has all the options enabled and infact was using wifi calling at the time I took the screenshots.

Those features are obviously disabled due to the sim card you are using. You know why I say this? Because I'm using a U1 model on Sprint USA and those two features are available to me. Spam caller and wifi calling.

Yes it is. 960U1 carrier/factory unlocked user on USA AT&T here. I was researching this WiFi Calling feature situation and installed Quickshortcutmaker that located what appears to be the stock Samsung Wifi Calling app Version 6.2.06.02 on the phone with com.sec.unifiedwfc, .att, .vzw, and .sprint etc. The app would not open. Permissions issues. Enabled permissions. Nope.
It is my understanding that the 960U1 carrier/factory unlocked has WiFi Calling capability but that activation is carrier dependent and AT&T is a no go. AND YET when AT&T tried to provision WiFi Calling on this device it did not work. Could someone explain why this app/feature will not work even with AT&T pushing activation? I do not want to flash the phone with the 960U firmware. Thanks!

Rogers is notorious for this

Ok couldn't find any way to enable Wifi Calling on the US unlocked version SM-N960U1 except to flash or change the CSC to a desired carrier. I didn't wanted to go that route but had no other choice.
So I got the Canadian Globelive and Freedom Mobile version of firmware SM-N960W from sammobile and flashed it completely through odin. Now all the functions of the Note 9 are available for any carrier. See the attached screenshots. There is no crapware or bloatware on it very clean and stock as it could be.
Now all is working

So basically the unlocked SM-N960U1 is not completely unlocked you would need to flash a more unlocked version of the firmware on it. Like I flashed the Canadian SM-N960W from Freedom Mobile. Then you can use it with any carrier that has enabled wifi calling for you.

I used to care about wifi calling but no call recorders work on wifi calling so I just forget it. it's nice to have call recording like hotel confirmation numbers.

Same here. I'd rather like to be able to use the stock Samsung messaging app with RCS functionality. The U1 versions don't support it however. Currently using Android messaging unfortunately.

Unlocked Variant TMobile band 71 and WiFi Calling Support

Does anybody know if the Unlocked version will support these features. They were sold out of the TMobile one when I went to order so I went unlocked. After contact with a few reps from TMobile and Samsung they seem to have no idea what will actually work... So I have a hard time believing what they say. Band 71 was a big selling point for me on upgrading and I hope I didn't make a mistake going with an unlocked device.

I order the Unlocked Snapdragon for T-mobile and all usa bands including 71 will be there as far I as can tell... We need to get our hands on some of these for testing.

My only reason for concern is that Samsung and Tmobile are giving me information stating it won't, they (Samsung) even told me WiFi calling won't work (even though it shows it will on the samsung support site)
I read that all of this worked fine on the s9, it just seems odd that they are saying it won't... especially band 71.

Just got my s10 plus and I see no options for wifi calling or volte. Me thinks I should have gone with the T-Mobile carrier brand. Anyone know how to flash a T-Mobile firmware to an unlocked Galaxy phone?

Where are you looking because if your looking in settings for wifi calling your in the wrong place. Open the phone app and look in its settings. At least that is where it is in the s9+ unlocked

My unlocked S10e has WiFi Calling on T-Mobile. You may not find settings for VoLTE settings, but it works too.
When I first put my sim card in, the phone told me that it would restart to setup a carrier. It did, then I saw that quick setting panel added new button "wifi calling" and I tested it right away, including VoLTE

VoLTE works too, I just can't find settings, but it is enabled by default on my T-Mobile sim

Based on Charkatak's post, I searched and found the following site: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4988 which says in part: VoLTE (Voice over LTE) allows you to place and receive calls on our LTE data network, and it's available nationwide. Placing a call connects twice as fast.
Switching between 4G VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling does not drop a call. So I tried placing a call without wifi using LTE and switched to wifi. The call stayed connected. Hoping this indicates we have VoLTE.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you can test VoLTE by making a call and then checking which antennas you're connected to. If you are only on LTE towers you should have VoLTE enabled. I did this test and it seems to be working for me.

Can confirm VoLTE and Wifi Calling works fine on T-Mobile with an unlocked S10 with Snapdragon.

Yup. VoLTE is voice over LTE, so no need to involve wifi. Devices without it simply fail to connect, or switch to 2G/3G automatically (when available).
Samsung has a compatibility chart, and VoLTE was already listed for tmobile.

Excellent news! :good:

I think I already know the answer, but I'm throwing this out there: the unlocked version doesn't come with the native ability to do multi-line for DIGITS. Clearly specific to the U firmware for T-Mobile. Has anyone happened to see a fix for this...like a T-Mobile CSC for S10, or something?
I mean, the DIGITS app still allows me access to my second line, but I'd obviously MUCH prefer the T-Mobile integrated solution in the dialer.

Yes the unlocked version absolutely can do digits. It is not specific to the U version. I have the unlocked version of the s9 + and had digits going for my Galaxy watch with no issues.

Does Digits just use one phone number for many lines? Like having a LTE Watch?

I'm not sure what you're asking. Yes digits allows multiple numbers to be connected to 1 line

I went to TMobile yesterday to setup my new Galaxy Watch. I guess They set up Digits to my line #, but gave me a new number for the watch line at $10/mo. They told me I don't use that new number, and it's only for the main# to forward to..

Buying in China

Hey,
My Mi Note 5 pretty much died after I was using it in the rain, so I was thinking about getting the mi 9. So I wanted to ask if this phone will work in EU, will I be able to get the global ROM in it (I kinda started to like miui), I read something about the L1 and L3, does it affect me in any way? Other than watching full HD netflix. I'm leaving china in 3 months, so I would like to use all the Google services again
thanks!

Depends which part of the world you are, I'm in UK, bought the 8gb Chinese rom mi9, my 4g never worked, couldn't unlock bootloader cos had to wait 360 hours and was not sure even after installing global rom my 4g will work or not so returned it. Bought the 6gb one with global rom and the 4g working on it, some Chinese guys are selling with bootloader unlocked 8gb ones and they install global rom before sending phone to you, with regards to watching HD content, I always install "vanced YouTube" on my phones, it installs VP9 codec my videos play in 4k on my mi9 and huawei mate 20 Pro, also no ads on this YouTube and background playback enabled by default, do a Google search on vanced YouTube, hope this helps, cheers

The Chinese version and Global version don't support the same set of bands, so check that first.

I'm under the impression from what I have read and been told that unlocking the bootloader and installing a global rom sorts the bands for compatibility globally, the global rom changes the radio firmware? cheers

Nope, flashing roms should not affect the bands, it is not related.

Thanks for your reply, I'm from Czech Republic, I don't know whether I should trust this website, but Vodafone in UK has the same bands as T-Mobile in CZE, so I'm wondering which operator are you using for a comparison. frequencycheck dot com carriers/vodafone-united-kingdom
->this account is new, so I apparently can't post links yet
vanced youtube sounds interesting, I wonder if it's 100% safe, won't they steal my login info etc.?
