Hello. I bought an s22 ultra SM-S908E/DS in Dubai/UAE but I have now moved to India permanently. The phone lacks the CALL RECORDING feature. I hear also Samsung Pay India does not work. Not sure if there are any other issues. Please can someone guide me on how to change.
I tried an earlier post for an older phone - go recovery, factory reset, reboot with indian sim card - but this does NOT work. I've tried it twice now.
Is there another option available ? Can I download the latest India firmware from from the site below and upgrade the firmware using Odin ? Any specific settings or process to be considered ? It will also be useful to know if there is someone on this forum who has successfully migrated - and got the call recording enabled etc.
Download Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra SM-S908E INS India firmware
All Samsung firmwares for Galaxy S22 Ultra in India with model code SM-S908E. We offer free and fast download options. Check them out now.
www.sammobile.com
I will be very grateful for your assistance.
PS. Another post I read asked if the phone has 'test mode'. What is test mode ? Is this the test mode you get by typing *#0*# in the call option ? It does have it..
UAE and India both sharing OXM group so it doesn't make any difference by flashing firmware as both are same.
Using Indian SIM should be fine, if not, just factory reset with keeping Indian SIM installed should work, it's weirdo it doesn't work
Kindly post screenshot of setting - about phone - software info

Meanwhile, I called Samsung Care India ( Kerala ) and tried to ask if they can assist - and and they will not upgrade/change the firmware it seems - which I find quite strange.
Will try the firmware and advise update asap. I sincerely hope it is successful. The phone is still under warranty.... so very keen to know if someone has already successfully upgraded this.
PS. Also, I hear that the code *#*#27262826#*#* was used with earlier Android versions to get the CSC codes included in your phone. Is there something similar which displays for the s22 ultra running

Are you sure you have Indian SIM installed? Info doesn't showing Indian SIM
If still issue you can change CCS with this tool
Thanks for this info. Yes. Indian sim installed. Infact, did a reset both a BSNL sim and also with a Vi ( Vodafone-Idea ) sim - and yet - I don't have these.
So - please can you provide more detail on what needs to be done with this tool ? am I looking to change CSC only ? or FRP ? Please provide some detailed info if available - thanks.
As an update.. and for the benefit of others.
Samsung s22 ultra SM-S908E purchased in UAE ( XSG ).
Downloaded latest INS firmware files from sammobile. Used all files AP/BL/CP. Used CSC ( not home-csc). did not use the repartition option. Firmware went thru - however software remained as XSG.
Retried firmware with the repartition option - but Odin failed.
Thereafter, used the SamFw FRP Tool 3.31 and changed CSC to INS - which successfully changed for ins/ins,ins/xsg/xsg ( not sure if this is normal ).
But now, call recording function is now enabled. and no issues with Indian sim. I hope OTA updates will continue.
Will be keen to hear any further concerns or suggestions.

Hi, after changing your CSC to INS are you getting OTA updates ?
Any other changes with the device ?

Yes - OTA updates are working. I have received atleast one since I upgraded. No other changes I can find as yet - except that the software shows a dual INS/INS,INS/XSG/XSG on my phone and I wonder what that means
Hi @imustbehuman,
I am also thinking of buying the dubai unit, want to know if 5G and Spay is working for you after csc change.
Also, for how much did you buy and from where.
Bought on Amazon. I believe Samsung pay works but I have not used it. Adding accounts etc definitely works fine. 5G works fine in Dubai but I have not tested in India ( as yet ) since my sim operator Vodafone does not have 5G in this area as yet. But if it works in one place - then it should work fine elsewhere as well.

You only need to change CSC to INS , no need for indian firmware, since it is a part of OXM software group

Hi
What mobile info app did you use? PhoneInfo ??
If not use that one . make sure you have the right model and that is original
You can always flash manually your firmware , check here
If you use home_csc ( has to be the same csc you have in your phone now , check csc with phoneinfo) you will not factory reset your phone.
BTW you are in the wrong forum , this is for the exynos model
Check here at the bottom are the links for all the snapdragon models
Yep, like MAX says, your phone is G930U, you will likely not get OTA updates until you flash the correct firmware to it, as it has been faked to look like a G930F

Hi
Details mate..
Where are you using the phone now , India?
Is the phone working , can it connect to your carrier in India?
Firmware , you can use XAC unbranded W8
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930W8/XAC/
What CSC do you have right now , use phoneinfo app to see it , if it is a different CSC than XAC , your phone will factory reset when changing CSC , you could use firmware with the same CSC you have and that way there will not be a factory reset, as reference check this threads
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3369431
https://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30800
Samsung pay will work if
Phone knox bit is not set
If the service is available in you country
And if the right CSC is in you phone
Check if you are rooted ( phone info will tell you) , check if Samsung pay is available, check your CSC
Thank you very much Max for detail answer
I used phoneinfo app you check CSC it is blank not CSC is there .
My phone is getting the network and very thing is working fine

Hi
Did you installed the Samsung app and followed the procedure?
For what I read i should work fine in India , if your knox bit is not set , try flashing a fresh rom and see if the problem is fixed
In Sammobile they will give you a link to the Odin version you need to use
good luck
Hey guys and gals!
I made a horrible mistake I ordered the Note 20 Ultra on trading-shenzhen since I really wanted that snapdragon CPU. (I'm from Europe)
Now it seems that the blame is on me... because I realize that I can't download any apps with the pre-installed Google Play app.
So my one and only Idea now would be to install an international ROM BUT for the model SM-N9860 I can only find national ROMs/ from within the region of china.
Am I out of options here? ... Sammobile tells me that the newest German Firmware needs the Model SM-N986B
From my research it should be possible to change between regions.
My current plan is to go from my firmware (N9860ZCU1BTK3) to this: N986BXXU1ATGI
While following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/i-successfully-changed-the-csc-of-my-sm-n986b-ds-exynos.4163629/
Thank you for your time and answer!
With kind regards
Chris
Try the HK ROM. I have the n9860 and it has everything. You got the best international device.

Oh! So you say there is a ROM from the same Region with all the google apps?
Your talking about that one?

Fast download latest Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G firmware SM-N9860 from Hong Kong with N9860ZSU1BTK3 and Android version 10
www.sammobile.com
Also: Since it's the same region... I dont need to worry about knox, right? Stock firmware from the same region wont trigger it? And what about OTA Updates? I think when I just go ahead and flash the HL rom by using:
BL
AP
CS
CSC HOME TO SAVE DATE
... OTA updates will stop in future right?
Sorry for those questions...in past I never cared about those 2 but this timeI kinda do ^^
I'm using a Hong Kong N9860 TGY in the UK. Mostly everything works as one would hope, except...
Samsung Pay is no good (needs a Hong Kong bank card), but Google Pay is fine.
5G only works on some networks, but not all.
Firmware updates are running a bit behind. Despite an update in December the phone only has November security updates so far.
But that seems about it.

I haven't flashed anything. I'm using the stock Hong Kong TGY ROM that came with the phone and I've had a few OTA updates since receiving the phone in early October.

dang! okay so I will wait for the reply of ekerbuddyeker ... hoping that he needed to flash it
seems I simply wasnt lucky to get this ROM from start
BUT I start getting the feeling that I overcomplicate things in this case.
Before I always used CFW + Root on my phones when I used odin. I never simply flashed another Stock ROM... And it seems when you flash a Stock ROM from the same region your phone is currently in:
1. you wont trigger knox
2. you will keep the OTA updates
since Stock ROMs don't break those?

Do you need to flash a new ROM at all, or simply change CSC?
Oh, and I don't think it would be wise to flash a US ROM onto a Chinese model, especially for use in Europe/Germany.

To be honest... even if I rooted my phones years ago... I never heared about CSC before that guide I saw today. I'm not so sure if it would work for this as well.
Cause in the guide it seems to be critical to not connect to the internet after the ROM is flashed / fresh installed.
and I guess since the Playstore is somehow totally messed up on my device flashing the HK rom kinda feels "cleaner"?
My only concern right now besides OTA and Knox would be that everything is in chinese once I flashed the ROM haha
What is the csc of your phone? My phone is BRI & its from Taiwan & everything is working just fine.

Greetings to all!
My friend ordered the same phone from same seller just to have the Snapdragon version and he is really fed up! So what you guys suggest him to do?His baseband is N9860ZCU1CUA2.What about HK firmware?Does it also have Chinese craps?His phone is full of Chinese apps,notifications etc without playstore.(When phone updated to Android 11)Any help would be really appreciated.

Oh! So you say there is a ROM from the same Region with all the google apps?
Your talking about that one?
Download Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G SM-N9860 TGY Hong Kong N9860ZSU1BTK3 firmware
Fast download latest Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G firmware SM-N9860 from Hong Kong with N9860ZSU1BTK3 and Android version 10
www.sammobile.com
Also: Since it's the same region... I dont need to worry about knox, right? Stock firmware from the same region wont trigger it? And what about OTA Updates? I think when I just go ahead and flash the HL rom by using:
BL
AP
CS
CSC HOME TO SAVE DATE
... OTA updates will stop in future right?
Sorry for those questions...in past I never cared about those 2 but this timeI kinda do ^^

Just flash the latest full TGY ROM Bro. But use the other CSC not "HOME CSC". Factory reset is required in this case as your phone will change ROM and CSC.
You can download full TGY ROM fast using FRIJA

I'm using a Hong Kong N9860 TGY in the UK. Mostly everything works as one would hope, except...
Samsung Pay is no good (needs a Hong Kong bank card), but Google Pay is fine.
5G only works on some networks, but not all.
Firmware updates are running a bit behind. Despite an update in December the phone only has November security updates so far.
But that seems about it.

That's weird, samsung pay works perfect for me in Europe, Hong Kong model TGY.
I bought this s21+ G996B Exynos from a local shop.
Since I bought this phone I don't remember that there was a single update available for it.
See the screenshots for details.
Can any one tell which country CSC is this in screenshots. I can't seem to identify it.
I am looking to upgrade to Android 12 and not interested in root (but if its the only way to go to android 12 then I guess its ok)
Should I change CSC ? Will that enable updates for me. Is there a a process for S21+
Any other way to upgrade?

Tried Frija to download any updates but it says no updates found.
Rule #1 if the firmware is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission... let it be.
Upgrades can and do break things.
There are many reported issues with 12.
Security simply isn't a major issue with Android 9 and up.
You can always update latter if you want or need to...

Hi
Those CSC that you show are really strange , I could not find out what WWD is from and XAA ( least important one) is from USA??
What would I do? ....change your active CSC (WWD) , if you are not rooted , try this first , if that do not work you will have to pay for the service (SamKey) , change your active CSC to Pakistan (PAK) for example , or any other country you choose ang get regular updates
Pakistan had several already since june , check here

Thanks for the reply.
Which region is better considering
1. I have an samsung active 2 watch and I would like to use its BP and ECG features. On watch I had changed the CSC to korean and features are available on it but not on the mobile at the moment.
2. Will a BTU firmware https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G996B/BTU/G996BXXU4BULF work on my device
3. If I change the CSC only will the updates start working on right away?

Hi
Which region is better? i guess everyone has an opinion , myself any of the multi csc OXM
Regarding your questions
1 no idea
2 if a saw correctly you have a G-996B , it should work fine , BTU is a good choice
3 Yes it should , watch out , when you change the CSC you will factory reset the phone
If you use the dialer method , the CSC of choice has to be present in the rom installed in the phone , I can see you have an OXM so it should , if not , then you should flash an OXM first and the change to the desire CSC
With Samkey they recommend to flash the correct rom after changing the CSC
Backup before you do anything

Flashing firmware does no longer change CSC. If the dailer codes don't work you have to use paid Samkey service. I did and it works perfectly fine. Changed from TNL (T-Mobile branded) to VDF (Vodafone branded) and have full VoLTE/WiFi/Other carrier apps functionality including OTA updates now through Vodafone.

Hi
As I mentioned before , if the dialer method does not work , you have to paid to change your active CSC
I was finally able to change the CSC to XID (Indonesia). That is the only one which got changed. Flashing any other didnt change the CSC. I used the following tutorial

Hi. I bought my S22 Ultra in Poland, I live in UK. Samsung pay refuse to work as the phone is from Poland.
