Thank You very much sir.
Im banging my head for such answer.
Thought of changing csc to u.s but i didnt find u.s region on my phone.
So basically; only at&t gives me 5g with n5.
That too : low end 5g
I have to wait for august then(next note).
Don't change CSC. If you will do, then it will goes brick phone.

I think international variants doesn't work with US 5G because these doesn't support combinations used in US and also 5G may not be enabled in your network. On 5G the device must support EN_DC combination used network. In cacombos.com you can check Carrier Aggregation and EN_DC combination support of devices.

Hi all! I've been a lurker for a while now and have been appreciative of all of the progress that has been made with flashing firmware on the Galaxy S8+ in order to take say a Verizon phone and make it completely usable on T-Mobile without the bloatware from Verizon (or from any carrier).
I'm posting today because I was hoping to learn a little more on how to determine which LTE Bands have been unlocked after flashing firmware on a Galaxy S8+ that was originally a Verizon device that is now being used on T-Mobile.
This link was helpful: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/how-to-verify-t-mobile-services-wifi-t3612996
Was wondering if there was any other way to make sure that the T-Mobile bands that needed to be unlocked were unlocked as required with the flashing of firmware. The firmware was acquired from sammobile.com with these details:
Download the firmware for the SM-G955U1 with product code USC from USA. This firmware has version number PDA G955U1UEU1AQDC and CSC G955U1OYM1AQDC. The operating system of this firmware is Android 7, with build date Thu, 27 Apr 2017 10:19:22 +0000. Security patch date is 2017-04-01, with changelist 11247461.

After dialing: *#2263#
I do see here that the following band elements are present:
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900
WCDMA: 1, 2, 4, 5,
TDS: A, F
LTE: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 18, 19 20, 25, 26, 28, 39, 40, 41, 66, 252, 255
Does this mean that these are all enabled and available for the network to choose from?

Ah, one thing I forgot to add was that I had flashed the Verizon phone with my tmobile simcard present in the phone. It went through a process where it configured the phone based on the simcard present. Not sure if this is normal when an unlocked Galaxy S8+ is activated, but this behavior was unique because I did not experience this when I inserted the tmobile simcard into the verizon phone prior to flashing the firmware.
I know the US unlocked version from Samsung has the band 17 band, Att still uses band 17 in my area where I work and when I had the ATT version, I was always missing text messages and when i sent them my wife would only get half of them, so when i did some research looks like ATT did away with the Band 17 in ATT version of the S8+, so i went back to my Note 5 that`s has the band 17 in it and problem went away, so I have the US version unlocked coming tomorrow so well see if it works any better than the S8+ ATT version

Is there a difference between the "U" version and "U1" version... I usually buy the international "F" version but unfortunately this year it wasn't possible... So anyway it's supposed to be unlocked but don't know if it can be rooted
Galaxy S7 edge
Strange that band 17 is not enabled on the USA unlocked firmware.
Band 12 on phones allows you to use band 17 on AT&T. Band 17 is 700 kHz block B and C, band 12 is 700mhz blocks A, B, and C.

AT&T's started to use Band 12 to connect both B17 and B12 devices from their towers in order to help roaming functionality between Tmobile and AT&T.
The Compare page at GSMarena website shows the bands of most versions of most common smartphones. B&H Photo does too. Note: Occasionally it is necessary to search for the phone version using its code, e.g. G955U, rather than its common name, to find it, but often the common name and version name (e.g. Sprint) suffice.
Also, I noticed that a version for the carrier called US Cellular reportedly had the same bands as an unlocked phone, at least according to gsmarena. Which means that version would be well suited for use with any of the major carriers.
All the us phones have and can use any of the bands it lists in specs. May need to flash a different carrier firmware to enable possible disabled bands. But I haven't seen any disabled. At least ony Xfinity mobile on Verizon towers
Hi team,
It seems OnePlus is showing different frequencies on the 5G band for phones sold in China (IN2010) and Europe (IN2013).
IN2010: Bands 41, 78 & 79
IN2013: Bands 1, 3, 7, 28, 78.
Does anyone who if a Chinese phone originally intended for IN2010 bands are flashed the international ROM IN21BA, are the other bands accessible in Europe . Other bands being, 1,3,7,28 ect.
Or is there a hardware lock?
It's technically programmed into NVRAM, but the publicly found version of QPST doesn't support this device, so I don't know of a way to modify the bands.
1,3,7,28 and 20 are 4g LTE bands in France, so Europe. It's not 5g bands
These bands are presents on the IN2010 model too

Shame, when Europe starts using band 28 on 5G, the Chinese imported phone won't support this band then.
Also i recommend compare 4G and 5G Combinations between China and Europe variant:
China: https://cacombos.com/device?model=IN2010
Europe: https://cacombos.com/device?model=IN2013

In France B28 used for 4G LTE for now but i think they will transfer it to 5G like other countries. That will be low band 5G for many countries to build coverage.
Hi,
I'm not sure which model to go for to be honest. I'm aware the Hong Kong snapdragon sm-n9860 is better than the sm-n986b or sm-n985F. I'm not a gamer but battery life matters to me. I also need a model with most USA bands for TMobile and to have Volte working. I'm aware band 71 and 66 is not available on the HK version nor is UMTS 3G band 4 - is the latter important ? In the past I'd normally cross reference LTE bands for imported devices. So long as they had LTE bands 2,4 and 12 and maybe 66 they worked for me just fine in central Florida.
So which if any would be advised?

Indonesian version is 4G dual SIM

I know there will be B and '0' versions like s21 ultra that are dual sim, but does anyone know if the US versions of s22 will have their esims enabled like the s21U (well, they finally were)? I hope so. Anyone know anything?
Samsung US claims the US models will have Nano + ESIM, but I trust Samsung info like I trust a politician.
A little eSim hope
If you watch this below video review carefully you can see on the box the dude has the US U1 unlocked Samsung direct versions of the phone and then when he goes into setting you can clearly see Sim Manager there

Good news
Checked the S22 out today at T-Mobile and it defiantly does support Esim
Sim manager is right in there on all 3 models which are running One 4.1

No, he's not. He promoted a scam phone, sold by a scam artist. then went on a racist rant when he was called out on it.
Droid Life confirmed with screen shot on a TMO S22 that Esim is active in USA
For all wondering, I received my ultra 22 unlocked and it has a SIM card manager, and I have set it up with SIM and esim. So yes is the answer to my original question.

You did it with the Unlocked version from Samsung right? OP was wondering if it would work the carrier variants. I'm also interested in this. Want to run dual sim, on different networks using a carrier branded version.

I am the op!
Yes, on the unlocked U version from Samsung. I have TMOB on esim and another carrier on SIM. Works same as my previous s22 which was a dual SIM. The only thing I haven't figured out is why I only see 5G and not 5G UC on TMOB, whether I get it or just dont see it.

I think you may be a little confused. There is no unlock u version from samsung. If you got it from Samsung and it's unlocked then it is the u1 version. The unlocked only means the SIM card. If you don't see the 5guc then you have the u1 version. If you were on the u version of T-Mobile's firmware then you would see the 5guc.
I am on the AT&t firmware on my s22 ultra. In the SIM card manager I don't see an option to turn my physical Sim into an esim. And the only way I can add an esm is if I have the QC code.
It am not confused! I have the U1 , that is correct. Though that doesn't answer why I would not see 'UC'. I have seen it for example on an unlocked Pixel 6 pro. Do you know for certain that no one with unlocked U1 sees UC?
With a physical dual sim model, can you use both physical sims and an esim?
mine is 1 nano +esim
Just finished setting up eSIM on the US SM-S908U1 S22 Ultra today working great better then expected.
I'm running my Sim biz card number off Xfinity mobile and activated the eSIM personal number off T-Mobile coz Xfinity don't support eSIM. Feels great to finally not have to carry around 2 phones for the first time.
lol, just replied here, to the other post about uw not being displayed. uggg....

As you can see out of those 3 Bands on TMobile the Ultra only supports one of them. Band 28. So you might never see UC. It Depends what Band TMobile is using in your area.

As you can see from the attached using BAMD SELECTOR, my U1 has 3 of the TMOB 5G bands. Which one is UC?
...also I'm getting over 500mbs speed in NYC which I assume is UC. And when I compared to a T-Mobile ultra 22 in store which showed UC ieas consistently getting the same or.faster speed in my U1.

Hi there, I have a new S22 ultra SM-908E but the region is for Latin America and other places in Europe. Everything works except 5G. Is there something I can do to fix this?
I look around for SM-S908E firmware with CSC TMB but there is none. I have Odin and tried different versions for the same model but no luck with 5g. I did this with an S21 ultra and 5g light up once I was able ti find the correct firmware for usa.
Thanks in advance..
There is no TMB CSC because no US carrier carries the SM-S908E. There is zero US firmware for that model.
What carrier? If T-Mobile you dont have 5G because its missing T-Mobile's 5G bands. Most specifically n71. It does support n41 on paper but I wouldnt count on that actually working.
Its also missing LTE band 71 for T-Mobile which for my area as an example mean you'd have no service while everyone around you would.

Hi Sorry to dig up an old thread. I'm in Canada and I have the same issue with no 5G on my 908E. When you say that there's no 5G mmWave, can't it use DSS to get 5g instead? If it can shouldn't it still be able to catch 5g that way?
TIA

Same here on ATT and TMobile.. on att 5g bands are 5 and 77, both supported by s908e
On TMobile the 5g bands are 41 and 71, the phone supports 41 but not 71.. obviously no mmWave, but I should still be getting "low" or "mid" 5g, but I only get 4g/lte..
I have this app "net monster" that says 5g nsa is available at my location, but unable to connect
Anyone find any solutions?

As I know T-Mobile use B2, B4 and B5 for its 4G network.
Due to the NSA type, the phone needs to get information via 4G and it looks like S908E doesn't have these Combo.
S908E for n41 Combo: B1 B3 B8 B20 (information from https://cacombos.com/device/SM-S908E )
So this may be the cause that S908E cannot get 5G access via B2 B4 B5 ?

Interesting enough when I go down to the states and roam down there, I get 5G... now I'm not sure which provider I connect to but it shows 5G on my phone... (first time it showed up I didn't even know what it was because I've never seen the icon before lol)
