Does anyone have an Unlocked phone with Verizon as your carrier?
I'm wondering how to get HD Video Calling/Carrier Video Call on it. Can anyone help please? I emailed Samsung and Verizon and told them that the phone didn't come with it I'm waiting for their reply. But does anyone have any other suggestions? Or Help?
Thanks Xx

You won't have it on an unlocked version. You either have to use Google Duo or download the SM-G998U carrier branded firmware and flash that (which is what I did) in order to have the Carrier video calling feature.

Hi, Where can I download the SM-G998U carrier firmware at? What do you mean by flash it? Is it safe for your phone to do that? Do you have Verizon? Do you have a Samsung S21 Ultra phone? I need the SM-G998U Verizon firmware. Can you please help me with this? I would really appericate it. Thank You Xx

Hi,
I'm in NY at the moment but I'm headed back to Australia later in the week. The AT&T Galaxy Tab is $649 and the Telstra version is $840. I gather that SIM unlocking either version is not a problem. I spend a fair bit of time in both places. As the Telstra version has voice enabled, I was wondering if it's possible to simply flash the Telstra firmware onto the AT&T Tab? Would this cause any issues? Would it then be essentially an identical device to the Telstra sold tab?
Thanks.
It looks like you will be the first to find out. Sorry couldn't help mate

Find us Telstra firmware and we can at least test that the phone works here in some way.
I posted a similar Q a while ago. I want to flash my T-mobile Tab into a generic Euro (GT-P1000). After that I would like it to work with upgrades through Kies etc.
If I just understood the risks or pro/cons I would go.
I bought the telstra tab. It is unlocked out of the box and has voice enabled. It uses the same bands as att. So I am guess ing this firmware would work fine on an att tab.

It should, but please follow my backup thread and backup your existing firmware before you flash the Euro firmware. Someone, maybe even you, may need it someday.
I don't think I will need to flash any other firmware. The telstra firmware has voice calling and side loading enabled out of the box. It is also sim unlocked. I should be able to put my att sim in, change the apn and go!

I woild like this to play with
I've used the roto backup from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13391743 without any problems a few times when restoring my GT-P1000T back to stock (Telstra).
I bought an unlocked US phone and was going to give it to my dad who lives in Canada (and uses rogers).
I was thinking about installing the 950W Rogers firmware to get all of the carrier-specific features like volte, wifi calling/sms, etc. Alternatively, maybe I could just install the CSC?
Has anyone tried this?

To answer my own question: it seems to work just fine. Followed this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-sm-n950u-u1-t3685884

Can I flash a T-Mobile Rom to my Sprint Note 8 with Odin? I currently have it unlocked and working on T-Mobile but it keeps trying to configure the network which is draining my battery. It also doesn't get VoLTE.
Anyone have experience doing this? If I can't do a T-Mobile ROM, can I flash an unlocked ROM to get it to stop the network configuration and get VoLTE back?
Thanks in advance!

cj.lyon21 I'm in the exact same situation, and I'm wondering what you decided and how it worked out? Did you flash T-mobile, or did you flash Unlocked on your Sprint phone. Thanks!! Hope to avoid pitfalls.

Check out the carrier switching threads. Not only is there a detailed step by step guide on how to accomplish this, but people also talk about how it worked. HINT: If you flash the TMo formware, it will be exactly like buying a TMo branded Note 8.
And speaking as someone with T-Mobile, there's really not much difference between the T-Mo firmware and the unlocked U1 firmware. TMo doesn't really add much bloat. Just the TMo boot animation and some apps you can uninstall. You gain RCS calls with TMo, but lose the U1 spam filter. WiFi calling and VoLTE still work with the U1 firmware.
Have the unlocked version from Amazon, want to convert to T-Mo firmware so US Cellular roaming works properly, along with faster updates.
Don't see the US T-Mo firmware on Sammobile. Is it available anywhere or not yet?

I am also getting the US unlocked and plan to use it on T-Mo network
Do a video and post it on YouTube. Cheers.

The unlocked software version of the device doesn't support some feature like the ok nest he listed that he wants to make sure works. So flashing it to T-Mobile software ensures all T-Mobile features will work correctly and fully.
Hey 5G Pioneers,
I am wondering can I flash the sm-g 977b firmware onto the sm-g 977n device through the Odin? Did someone make it?
Since these two models are all using the same Exynos 9820 chips
And from my previous experience of using my galaxy s8, Samsung actually enabled me to flash the firmware in different regions only if the devices were using the same chip version.
I am currently in Australia. The Korean version of 977N is much cheaper, and it seems that is the only network unlock version that I could buy from the market.
Not sure where are you in Australia but I bought mine from a Telstra Sales Rep (based in CBD, Melbourne) where he got a discount code and gave its to me for AUD 1400 for the 512 GB Majestic Black Version, unlocked , I'm using Optus, VoLTE, VoWIFI works fine on it.

Was already factory unlocked. I didn't have to insert Telstra SIM to activate it.

Hi everybody,
On Sammobile website, I found 4 firmware Korean variants. I tried getting more information on the "KOO" variant to see if its a stock Samsung firmware without Carrier Apps/Bloatware without luck. I couldn't get any detailed information whether it can be flashed over any other Korean variant. Can anyone here clarify if its possible and If yes provide further details?
Attached a snapshot.
Many thanks

That is the non bloatware Korean version but it doesn't allow me to flash it. I suspect you have to flash it with the userdata file also.
Thanks for the information,
I have a new phone so No issues with user data. How do I flash the firmware.
Thanks

Use all the files in the KOO firmware including the userdata.

Before I attempt this, Will this trigger knox? Void Warranty ? Will I be able to have OTA later on?

I have done it several times but it seems to fail. Nothing will be triggered.

Hi,
I have successfully flashed the "KOO" variant once with and a second time without "userdata", however that did NOT remove any of the Bloatware/Carrier Apps.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
I disable the 3 apps then hide them from the app drawer.

Hi,
I did disable the apps which is great, but there menu operator items as well!
Edit : Forgot to mention that the boot logo is of the operator as well.
I was researching something about using the PIT file along with the firmware but can't find the specific PIT file for S10 5g.
Use Odin or the modified version to flash combination firmware. Then flash your desired firmware.
This is the only way I am aware to remove all carrier bloatware and boot logos.
Dual SIM

I am particularly interested in this as the 977N variant seems to be dual sim. I notice it also has additional bands to the 977B varient and I would like to put the telstra firmware to ensure operation of VoLTE VoWiFi RCS etc.
The main purpose is to use at home and overseas. So more bands and access to features (VoLTE, VoWiFI, RCS etc. on my telstra SIM and local overseas SIM) when overseas are the goal.
Unless someone can confirm that the 977N with vanilla firmware will support all the telstra features?
Thank you for your assistance
