Hello, which firmware has Samsung Smart call enabled. I have N986U1 and it is disabled. I don't want to try every firmware to know does it work or not? Please USA only.

U1 (XAA) device has it. This is my 986U ATT converted to a U1 XAA device.
So looks like it doesn't work with non-USA or different SIM card.

Unfortunately it's the CSC code that determines what features are available.
I did a CSC change on mine back when dialer code/IMEI still worked.
My phone was a stock 986U ATT device. I changed CSC to XAA and loaded U1 firmware.
My phone didn't retain the XAA CSC, after a 3rd reboot, but all the stock features remained.
Call and text on other devices works (normally blocked by AT&T), and Smart Call works as well.
Still can't get eSIM working, but that is only available for T-Mobile CSC.

I have converted from ATT to XAA. About phone it shows XAA/XAA/ATT and updates comes XAA. Or I haven't changed CSC?

It's changed... All AT&T U devices will retain ATT in the 3rd set (???/???/ATT) as that is the original sales code for the device.
Having XAA/XAA/ATT with U1 firmware should let you have access to some XAA features.

I am planing on going in US and I want to use a local sim card (ATT, Verizon, T-mobile, Sprint)
If I change the CSC as unbranded XAC would the VoLTE and wifi calling work from the operators?
You could try flashing the CSC part only from US U1 XAA firmware, then you might have to do a full factory reset (try without it first).
Let us know if it worked.
Most people around here say no. You'll have to flash the actual carrier firmware and then call them and give them your imei to activate the features.

I bought Canadian S8 which says G950w model. But when I opened settings it says G950U1 which means I can use any sim carrier in any country. Firmware is XAA (USA unlocked)
Sorry in advance if I missed the answer somewhere on here already...but I see a lot of posts about flashing carrier versions and switching carrier versions.
My question is, if I have the UNLOCKED US version (SM-N986U1) on my T-Mobile account, is there any benefit to using the TMB firmware vs. the XAA firmware...or is there any benefit to using he XAA instead of the TMB?
It came with XAA and I switched to TMB prior to joining the One UI 3.0 Beta. At some point I was having text message issues using Google Messages, but I can't remember which variant I was on when that happened. So, I basically want to use the firmware that will give me the best experience without a bunch of carrier crap.
Thanks in advance for the help!
I'm not sure what you mean by "came with XAA and I switched to TMB". Isn't the N986U1 XAA firmware identical to the N986U1 TMB firmware? But the N986U firmware is different from the N986U1 firmware, and differs for each carrier. You can flash either the N986U or the N986U1 firmware on your N986U1 phone.
Not sure...I may just not know what I'm talking about...lol. Under Software information and Service Provider Software Version, it ended with XAA/XAA/XAA when I first got it, but then I flashed the T-Mobile firmware and it has been TMB/TMB/XAA ever since.

Well, you should have access to early updates as carriers usually get updates before unlocked versions and since ur already on Tmobile, you might get additional apps that work with Tmobile?
Go with the Unlocked (XAA). I converted my Verizon model to the Unlocked firmware and there are a lot fewer preloaded apps and other junk. T-Mobile services are apparently fully functional on the Unlocked model as well.

Thank you!! I also got the US unlocked XAA and converted to TMB firmware... I have flashed multiple times XAA to TMB and TMB to XAA.. For unknown reason when I use speedtest, I see faster download speeds on the TMB variant... For example, with TMB I was getting 120 mb while on XAA I was getting 76.. I did this couple of time in a span of a week.. it was coming with similar differences..
Like you, I've been using TMB on my US unlocked as well.

if you just want to move from XAA/XAA/XAA to TMB/TMB/XAA, you don't need to flash firmware, u can change CSC from XAA to TMB to achieve the same results.
Flashing firmware from XAA to TMB means u are moving from firmware of SM-N986U1 to firmware of SM-N986U (carrier branded).
HI all,
With CSC change not possible using codes with latest UI 3.1 update what are options to change CSC?
For ex. I have SM-N986U unlocked Tmobile device but i changed CSC to ATT as im currently using ATT Prepaid and I'm on latest Apr update for ATT
How can i revert back to Tmobile CSC?
Do i need to flash Tmobile firmware using ODIN by first flashing to U1 firmware then Tmobile firmware or can i directly flash Tmobile latest firmware with Apr update using ODIN?
Will i be able to retain my app and data if I flash Tmobile firmware?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
So you state csc change not possible then ask how to change it? lol.. and if it were as easy to just flash firmware in odin tgen that wouldve been the way to do it to begin with I would think lol
Update:
I was able to change CSC(ATT/ATT/TMB) to TMB/TMB/TMB but it was long and winded way. Just flashing firmware was not enough , need Tmobile sim to install carrier service and change CSC.
I followed the steps below:-
1) Did backup of my device using Smart Switch and removed my ATT sim.
2) Flashed latest T-Mobile firmware( N986USQU2DUC8 ) using instructions from post - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/ota-and-non-ota-firmware-for-n986u-and-n986u1.4143833/ . Also, downloaded the ODIN (patched version) and T-Mobile firmware from links in the post. Flashed HOME_CSC too.
3) After rebooting phone with new firmware , the boot up screen was still ATT and CSC was still ATT/ATT/TMB.
4)Shut down phone and inserted Tmobile SIM i had lying around.
5) On reboot, i was asked to install Tmobile carrier services and on restart , Tmobile logo came on boot up with CSC changed to TMB/TMB/TMB.
6) Now, i have esim enabled and SIM manager showing up too.

thats the normal process.. that firmware is same for each carrier.. firmware is multi csc which changes based on sim inserted.. shouldnt have to go through all of that really.. i think most ppl who have issues are trying to change csc without a active sim card or on carrier locked devices etc.
glad u figured it out tho!

Yes, I was able to change CSC to ATT from TMobile, enable all LTE/5G bands before One UI update.Not, sure what u find so funny .
Yes, I'm aware that there is no CSC concept in pixel or iPhone or any other other manufacturer that I'm aware nor they are crippled in terms of hardware capability from carrier software like Samsung. LTE/5G bands not being enabled , esim not being enabled etc.

I have phones such as Z Flip3 5G and other models that do not change CSC like older models when following the flash procedure starting with U1, but the phones never prompt a restart. I have noticed it seems to be with TMB or VZW units. Any suggestion on how to actually get the CSC to change properly or is this something they are doing with new phones to avoid being able to use them fully on other carriers?

Hi, I have yhe following issue and I need your thoughts please.
I have a Telus plan, canadian with US roaming option.
I am traveling in US alot. I have a Note 20 Ultra U1 from Samsung USA. When in US I can only register on Tmobile and I can get 5G icon too. Won't let me on ATT or Verizon.
With same sim card in Note20 Ultra "W" variant, canadian one, it wil register on all 3 major networks in US. No issues with the sim, I guess.
Also in Canada won't get 5G ever.
My provider said nothing to do with them, Samsung told me the same.
I reseted all network setings my APN is ok. VOLTE on. Only getting acces to Tmobile.
Any ideea how I can fix this ? Is it related to CSC ? Mine is XAA.

Hello! i flashed with full wipe the SM-S908U DSH unknown firmware over my ATT branded S22 Ultra, thinking that it was the unbranded version. I still have all the ATT branding everywhere and also the ATT software update option in settings.
My question is: will i still be able to get OTA updates with this firmware?
Unbranded firmware is U1 firmware. DSH is Dish network/Boost Mobile

The weird thing is that even though I flash dtbe full firmware, when I booted up, I still had the ATT customizations, but in settings it shows the firmware is updated to the DSH that I flashed? Very weird.
The reason is that DSH firmware is still U firmware with a CSC that adapts the firmware to the SIM installed, therefore it reverted back to AT&T. As previously stated, you need U1 firmware, unlocked defaults to XAA in the US.
So what will happen if I dirty flash with the Home CSC the new DSH U over my SM-S908U1 that has been already flashed from U1 to carrier U Xfinity Mobile hard sim and a T-Mobile eSim ?
Will I still keep my same Xfinity Mobile T-Mobile carrier data ?

It is not possible to change CSC without tripping Knox. You must unlock the bootloader to change the CSC.

Unlock the bootloader and use Odin to flash OXM firmware. OXM is multi-CSC, so you should be able to change region to India.
Don't forget you can use the Search function to look for solutions to questions that have been asked many, many times before.

If you unlock your bootloader, you can install any CSC you want, so you'd just download INS firmware and flash it using Odin.
Or, you can flash the OXM firmware and simply change the region to India, as I stated in my first reply.
Ok i got that now second major issue is that i cannot unlock my bootloader as my developers option is not showing oem unlocking
no need to unlock your bootloader to change the CSC, just use this application to do so

Can GCF based devices get ota updates i read it in someone's post that they can be only updated via odin or sideloading
GCF gives more LTE and 5G bands support so maybe that's why your phone has it set on that. You can change it to XAA as it's bloatware free and gets regular updates.

I don't think this is possible... and that's why Samsung has different variants for different countries ...

But by any chance u get to know that it can be changed to Indian csc please do let me know it will be very helpful
Thinking of flashing this firmware update via odin....device model number : SM-S908UZKEVZW
Region:VZW
OP, Are you sure it is an "unlocked" version? Based on he last three charactors of the model# you provided says it is a Verizon branded phone. Yes, technically it was unlocked after 60 days, but since you are not connected to Verizon's network, that may be the reason you are not getting OTA updates.

As for unlocking the bootloader, none of the US variants' bootloaders are unlockable.
