I was wondering if I changed the CSC on a Korean Note 20 Ultra if I would unlock US bands or if the hardware simply does not exist. Or could I just *#BAND# to activate them?

You can flash a modem.img that has been extracted from a Note 20 Ultra firmware that supports US radio bands.

How would I extract the modem.img (I have a US version for now) and install it?

Use 7zip to extract the firmware file on PC, then, extract the files that are inside the firmware. I can't remember where the modem.img file is located inside the firmware, just extract the firmware files, then extract the files that come out of the firmware, then look through the files that come out of those files and you should see a modem.img or a modem.bin file somewhere.

I found this would this work https://samfirms.com/samsung-note-20-ultra-5g-sm-n986u1-eng-modem-. Then I just flash via odin but which slot do I put the modem file in?
Should I just flash the CP from an unlocked US firmware

I suggest only flashing the modem. When you extract the copy of modem.img, convert it to an Odin flashable .tar file using 7zip with the highest level of compression. Then flash the modem.img.tar via Odin, place the modem.img.tar in the AP slot then click start.

Do you have USB debugging enabled in the device's system settings?

Try 3.12 or 3.13
Do you know if the binary version of the modem is equal to or higher than the binary version of your currently installed modem? To check, look at the firmware build number of your currently installed firmware, the 5th character from the right end of the build number is the binary version. Then look at the build number of the firmware that you extracted the modem from, look at the 5th character from the right, if this number is equal to or higher than the number from your current firmware then the error isnt caused by a binary conflict.

I just got this phone 2 days ago.
While i was flashing around. i tried to flash from 5.1.1 (noble rom) to 6.0.1 S7 edge port also noble. but it seems i'm stuck at Boot logo.
Flashing "G920FXXU3DPB6_G920FDRE3DPB1_G920FXXU3DPB6_HOME.tar (6.0.1)" gives me an error as well. it fails to flash in odin.
but lucky i got twrp backups from my previous roms lol.
Thanks for helping
Also a question. is Lollipop performing better than Marshmallow? :good: Specially the battery here is the question.
Marsmallow is better than Lollipop on S6.
Can you post the Odin error log here?

If your phone is G920F, then flash this ROM. Make sure you selected PIT file on Odin (PIT file included in ROM zip)
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B3U72O5ZZ8z-STJiWWJmR2hPM1U&export=download
After you've flashed it, flash the Marsmallow ROM via Odin (without PIT file).
Aftery you've flashed Marsmallow ROM, make factory reset via recovery.
Done!

I've managed to flash it.
Downloaded a firmware from samfirmware. included were (AP,PDA,BL, etc) which worked as it should.
Thanks for your help anyway!
Hello,
I tried to root my phone samsung galaxy s5 model SM-G900F, then I tried to flash twrp.
My phone here stop working and on the screen it's written Firmware upgrade encounter and issue. Please select recovery mode in kies. Try more then 10 times and it fails I search on google they are saying that kies is buggy and it better to do it using odin. I downloaded the stock ROM from here sammobile . com/firmwares/database/SM-G900F/ with region United Arab Emirates.
It fails the log is

can you please advise me what should I do ?
Edit one:
After read the screen it was saying the the size is wrong and image is wrong. I read in google that I need pit file for my model but couldn't find anyone for XSG.
I forgot to mention that I used an sd card in adaptive mode using adt command. Maybe that reason for pit file thing. Now I am trying to recover it using kies on mac.
but in worst case if it didn't work and I couldn't find pit file that mean the phone will not run again ?
Solution: I downloaded android 5 ROM but not for my region then flash it. The phone worked then I updated the phone using system update in the phone it self
So I messed up my s7 by flashing a wrong version of xposed and now I can't go back to stock.
Trying to flash it through Odin but I get a "sw rev check fail" message
Please help :'(

Are you sure you are flashing correct firmware and the latest version?
Yes, I'm trying to flash G930TUVS2APB8
Should I only do "AP"? Or try all four files?
What do I do in the CSC field? Load the CSC or HOME_CSC file?
Should I try the special Odin by PrinceComsy or 3.11?

This is what shows up on Odin
Fixed the problem!!! thanks
What was the solution? I'm having this issue as well
Try going into recovery and factory reset(wipe data)
It got fixed by using my pc rather than my laptop (had same drivers installed so no idea)
Also downloaded the absolute latest firmware from sammobile and latest Odin
Hope you can fix your problem man.
Note: if it doesnt let you flash stock I read that it may be because you're trying to flash something older, by default you cannot downgrade on s7
Ok, hope everyone is doing well.

have you tried the free samFW.com program called samlFW frp? it can reset csc codes vis ADB while phone is in regular mode. dial *#0808# to set usb to mtp+adb and then go to adb tab in program + csc option.
I was amazed it worked. ignore xploit failed msg. reboot. prosper.

Oh ok - I was going to do that originally but Sammobile's latest version of that is from March and Odin wouldn't let me flash an older version.
If you want to change from Verizon to AT&T.....just change CSC.
Download the SamFW app and just switch. It's as easy as that. No flashing etc.

Thank you wr3cckl3ss1, it looks straightforward and easy enough, the only issue I have is whether ATT has a CSC for S908U later than March available, which doesn't seem to be the case on SamFW or SamMobile - doesn't make any sense but it seems my phone won't allow updating to "older" versions.
