My note 8 is SM-N9500 TGY Hong Kong (Un-branded Chinese Snapdragon 835 Dual SIM, Unlocked Bootloader) How do I change the CSC in order for VoLTE and wifi calling to work with US T-Mobile?
I have the same problem. I'm very curious
I have same problem
Hello, I've seen on french forum that it's not possible
Can you guys confirm LTE works on T-Mobile in the US?
Hi!
I have also SM-N9500 csc is TGY(HONGKONG)
you can check here
http://www.phonemore.com/compare/phones/galaxy-note-8-sm-n950fd-vs-galaxy-note-8-sm-n9500/6303040
it is only Rom problem,
normaly SM-N9500 much more capable from SM-N950FD,
but i think china don't give a permissions for video calling,
and our SM-N9500 has a software barrier for this.
Are there any people will solve this problem?
Yes I also have hk sm-9500 with no video call button on dialpad and no wifi calling feature. Pls help enable them both. Thanks.
I would imagine you should be able to flash a T-Mobile N950U ROM on the 9500 if it is also Snapdragon, and that should in theory make it essentially the same as a 950U, though I am not sure if the 9500 has the right LTE bands. T-Mobile primarily uses LTE bands 2, 4, and 12 in most areas (mostly band 4 near me).
So far as I know you can use Korean Rom (N950N I guess) on N9500 but ODIN will not allow it, you need to root and flash by TWRP

This will probably brick his phone.
The 9500 is Snapdragon like the 950U, while the N and F are Exynos.
Hi Guys, did so far anyone find any solution for this issue? i'm sitting in 2019 and still looking for a solution. please help!
Hi,
I have a Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N9500) HK dual sim 128GB and want to use wifi calling and VoLTE but I can't do that on the stock firmware.
I found a few sites and forums that it is possible to use the EE UK firmware but I've no idea where to obtain it from.
Has anyone got any guides or ideas on where I can get the firmware?
Cheers.

You have n9500 - snapdragon soc.
EE UK is for n950F - exynos soc.
Not going to work! Not compatible and Odin will not flash it! It will say Fail!
Now if you are "rooted" you can flash a dev moded csc file (search for csc that will work on your n9500).
I'm moving to the US soon and want to use my G781B/DS over there. It looks like the US version supports a lot more bands for both 4G and 5G, so is it possible to convert?
I tried flashing the G781U1 files via Odin but I get a Secure Check Fail: PIT error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

IDK if this will work.
Maybe your device will work fine in the US with its original firmware.

S20 FE 5g - difference between country versions
Hi, i'm about to buy online an S20FE 5g (preferably an 8GB), and i was wondering about the differences between different versions; i don't know what should i buy to use in Europe. I could not find a comprehensive list, so i thought i could just...

Hey @fragpic, did you manage to do the conversion?
Greetings folks, i have been reading a bit about changing the csc of the phone, I own a s21 Ultra G998B version and its branded with a owo rom, i live in Chile, and the Claro company of course is not up to date with the otas, and also i want to flash a clean rom with no bloatware. I read that with samkey i can change the CSC to an OXO (mine is owo) rom so i can then flash the muti csc rom. I also read that in order for samkey to work i have to roll back to may update? i'm currently on august update. am I correct in the process? can anyone recommend to which csc i can change so i won't turn my phone into a mess
thanks to all who can provide some light jeje

hi, yes it is, but i looked in samfirmware and the cho version is until august, so i think it would be the same? mine is chl which is for CLARO company and is also in august update, i would like september updates so i can try the andy 12 beta
When I bought it, it had May firmware. I changed CSC before any other update .
So , may update is working for SamKey.
Otherwise, you need to flash with latest Odin the may firmware of your CSC you want (downgraded)
Hello, could someone please tell me, is it possible to flash g998u1 with Thailand firmware, Chinese, etc?

No to both. Thailand FW is configured for the Exynos SoC. The China FW, even though it's configured for the Snapdragon SoC it's not compatible with the US Unlocked variant. Do you live in Thailand? If so I'm curious why you aquired a US device. We often see users buying non native devices, maybe they got a good price, maybe they moved out of their region, maybe it's a company issued phone but it's a pain when call features or 5G don't align with your service provider. Flashing non stock firmware often causes more problems than it solves. Samsung is moving closer and closer to proprietary software for individual models, mix and match is becoming a thing of the past.

I live in Kaliningrad, Russia. This device I've bought for 30usd, new, boxed,, here, in Russia, so I was looking for ways to make it work as a Russian device(full menu translation, bands, etc.). Actually no matter, which language is used, at first I had troubles using android 11-there was no esim. Than using abd I flashed it to oneui 4.0, esim works, all lte bands are supported.

$30 USD is an awesome deal! If all bands and esim are functional that's probably as good as it gets. Unfortunately Exynos compatible FW which is dominant in Russia can't be installed on your device. Gboard may be your best option for Russian Language.
Hi,
I have Galaxy S21 Ultra (G998N Korean) I was wandering if I can flash the international version G998B firmware on it ( they are identical )?
Since the SM-G998N is now a Exynos variant, it may be possible but why create a conflict between the new FW and your Primary CSC which can't be altered? The FW in all Samsung variants are structured for their specific CSC. The FW's are definitely not identical and doing so it will likely affect call features and possibly other functions.

Well I tried and failed, Odin got stuck on flashing VBMETA so I had to restore original firmware.
