Chimera Tool says it can change CSC on note 20 ultras - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers

So I was searching on google and saw that ChimeraTool has the note20 Ultra on their list now.
Did anyone try ChimeraTool before? Seems like 3 models are posted:
SM-N986N, SM-N986U1, SM-N986U

if it does it correctly and cleanly, it might be worth it for some people.
thinking of doing it once I get my device brought over from Korea with the KOO CSC

If it has KOO already, why would you change it? Do you mind sharing where you purchased it from? Thanks!

Why doesnt dialing the service code to change the csc work on your models?

Feel free to spend 70 euros on it and report back

Have you tried using the Mysterious Dev CSC changer? (Using theme app to change the CSC)
I used that successfully on N9860 to change from TGY to BRI. I'm guessing it should be possible on N986N to get KOO.

You can only change CSC to one from the same Model phone, for example my N986B Note 20 Ultra was running EVR, which is a UK carrier CSC, and I changed it to BTU which is an unlocked UK CSC
I don't believe the HK model supports any UK CSC

No you cannot. You can only choose between TGY and BRI. Or Chinese CHC. TGY is the best of the three if you don't care about voice recording. TGY also has Smart Call (Spam ID/Hiya). BTU is an Exynos model not Snapdragon.

N9860 China

Hello, the answer to my question might sound obvious but I want to be 200% sure. If I get N9860 China model, can I flash Hong Kong firmware on it with Odin ? According to the files I found on Sammobile it seems ok but I need a confirmation : https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-20-ultra-5g/firmware/SM-N9860/TGY/
Thanks a lot

I really need to know the answer to this as well since the replies this far have been conflicting.
Did you have any success?
I need to know if I can flash HK or Taiwan firmware on N9860 purchased in China. Thanks
My device model Sm-n9860 hk originally... I used odin and flashed chc since ver one ui 2.5.. After update to one ui 3.1 i tried to go back to and flash 3.0 instead and even tried TGY ver 3.1 but always fail.. Idk why

Yes you can without any issue but you have to backup your data or else you will lose your data. And also why would you like to change the firmware. Is there problem ?

Contacts not visible

Hi there,
I am from NZ and I imported a Snapdragon model of Note 20 Ultra 5G from Hongkong or Taiwan. The model number is SM-N9860
I have my contacts saved at either using the country code +64 or by just adding a 0 in front.
In my previous phone, both of these styles just worked fine and the name used to display when someone called me. However, now....it's so random. Some of my contacts call me and all that is displayed is a number. Does anyone have a solution for this annoying problem?
In short, I am needing to edit the contact details of my saved contacts
Thanks

I had this problem when I flashed Firmware CHC (Open China), I believing same is the problem in BRI (Taiwanese) Firmware as well. Flash yourn phone with latest TGY ) Hong Kong firmware and it will be fine.

Thanks a lot for your response. This seems logical as you have correctly identified BRI and all
I am keen on flashing it with TGY Firmware. But before that, I would like to know the possible implications of doing that. And then I would like to know the process if you don't mind please

No problems you will face, not even Knox will trip and void your warranty. Download official TGY from Samfirmware.com and flash it through odin.
Also TGY is a kind of international version like firmware. You'll love it.

I am not a tech-savvy person
What's the difference in TGY and BRI? What would I love about TGY?

Question S22 Ultra csc change

Question S908N KTC to KOO

Hello fellows
So my issue is a bit long so sorry for that
I got this phone 3 days ago
S908N KTC Unlocked ( I live in Middle East and the SIM is working just fine )
I didn't know that this was a branded phone from KTC, I thought it was unbranded KOO
So right now I want to change the firmware to KOO to get rid of the KTC Boot animation and the KTC bloatware/settings
So how should I do that ? Just flash the KOO firmware using Odin? do I need to change csc? is that risky and may trigger Knox and block the phone ?
and after that can I just flash like the middle east firmware ?
Thank you in advance and sorry for taking too long
I'm attaching a screenshot of the CSC and software version of service provider

Yes, but some users already tried and it worked. I remember reading one or two days ago about exactly this...it says it is not supported but it works. I recall it was an Exynos device not SnapDragon but should work the same

Thanks for confirming
At least it appears possible to root it and maybe install a custom rom.
I assume that only the rom builders might be able to create a solution for the N version as an installation option in a rom.
However they might not be motivated due to the small number of people having the N versions. Unless of course a few of us agree to contribute in the form of a donation, then maybe a developer can play around and make it happen. What do you think?

Any news on changing KTC to KOO? I rooted SM-S908N, installed app Phone INFO+ Samsung, but don't see a way to change CSC. It just sees KTC region. Chimera Tool also gives info SM-S908N is not supported device. So, is there any way to get KOO or at least get rid of KTC Boot animation and the KTC bloatware/settings?

Hi! Has anyone gotten the OneUI 5.0 beta on their N9860 N20 Ultra 5G? I'm on the TGY CSC and even tried using a VPN to switch to other Members regions and have had no luck so far.
No, it's not available yet. Checked this morning.

Yes, it is! As long the firmware is Snapdragon, not Exynos you will be fine I'm pretty sure all the info is here on XDA you will need to research it. it should be pretty straightforward as I've done it tons of times UK firmware changed to Germany CSC (Exynos) So i get quicker updates on my Note 9 & my Note 10+ 5G I haven't changed my Snapdragon Note 20 Ultra 5G as of yet been so busy i will change it soon as i would like to unlock all bands on my Note 20 Ultra 5G!

Yes, you can brick your phone. Because the US version only single sim and N9860 dual sim, different hardware and software.
