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.

Never buy this TGY, CHC or BRI variants of any Samsung's phone. Very very slow in updates.

Well, that's the price you pay for performance! Snapdragon is awesome. if you find it too slow why not change the CSC to Korea or stateside ?
Is it possible that we can change CSC of SM-N9860 to Korea or US ?

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!

Can I flash US Unlocked firmware to my N9860? Or will I end up bricking my device? Both of them are Snapdragon Variant

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

Would it be possible to flash an SM-N970U US model phone snapdragon version with an international, Chinese, or other version firmware to get root and then overlay it with English fonts etc... just looking for a workaround for root?
That may work. But I wouldn't risk it. As some of the modem drivers maybe different
Would that really maybe work? I feel like someone would have thought of that already. But man, it's tempting to try.

Unfortunately the two models do not share the same CPU... So it would absolutely brick your phone.
Thanks for the feedback guys....nothing ventured nothing gained

Every site I checked said the sm-n9700 has the snapdragon 855, which is the same as the sm-970u and u1 have.

It would be nice if you provided a source for your claim, since I did so. For example, you could say: "I own the n9700, and it is exynos", or "I'm there engineer that designed the note 10, and the n9700 is exynos"
Someone who has the n9700 could check with cpu-z and settle this dispute.

But I think that site says sm-n9700 is snapdragon.
The Hong Kong Note 10 is a Snapdragon, one of the few international variants with bootloader unlock and snapdragon. Not sure if it would work, otherwise people would do it. Good luck if you try, but be careful.
I have n9700 and its Snapdragon

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.

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 ?
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.

Can i ask what csc can change to n986n
just makes the user feel more at home knowing the csc is changed to his home country. usually accomplished while sitting in front of the fireplace while it's snowing
Is there anyone that use that? It's work?
Hello all,
I am new here..
I have SM-N986N, Can i change the CSC to SM-N986B as I am living in India and with this firmware i am unable to make conference calls from my device.
Hope you will reply.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I was wondering if its possible to flash US unlocked firmware onto the unlocked dual sim Taiwanese variant of the Note 20 Ultra 5G (SM-N9860).
There are certain features like Samsung pay that is somewhat limited for me because its still shows the region as Taiwan.
Of course I don't want to brick my phone but wanted to see my options in terms of changing the region to a US version.
Also, just to confirm, there is no way for this 5G variant to get 5G with US carriers, correct?
Thanks

VPN does nothing when the Samsung services are based on the CSC. I have PIA and Adguard but this will not work.

SAme question here.. can anyone help please? also can anyone help in this issue:
I am living in UK, have note 20 ultra 986U1. all 5g Bands are not active, on android 11 (UI3.1) there was a way to access to service menu and enable all 5bands. and I was using the 5G here. now, I updated, and that can not reach seavice menu to enable right 5G band. anyone has any idea what should I do? even I can not flash with UK rom, as UK rom is for Exynos, but mine is snapdragon. any other idea maybe? or other rom that works with my phone and also enabled 5G bands?
do you think if I just change the CSC , my problem will solve? if yes, which CSC I must flash and how?
It seems to improve the lagginess of the exynos variant of a53 5g. I just updated it today. Will post for more updates.

theres a snapdragon variant, the one w 8/128 or 8/256
A536E/DS 8/128, it's Exynos.
Edit: No Dec OTA yet, AFR (Kenya) CSC, cant change CSC to something better, neither can i flash a different variant firmware either, even though people seem to have done it. No idea why.
there is a December update, check this https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-A536B/

Until I see proof of an actual A53 with a Snapdragon SoC I think you are mistaken.
Anyway, it seems there just a little improvement on the lagginess of the system, just a slight. But its tolerable.
Still hoping a working and stable rom would come by.

Cause Odin fails, whether patched one or not. Firmwares seem to differ in size, so that explains it, and i wont risk a PIT flash until someone confirms that it works.
