Hey guys, hoping you are well.
Has anyone tried to flashing the USA unlocked version firmware to (SM-S908U1) to another region phone, I have a SM-S908E, and would like to try a bloatware free version?
Thanks!

You can flash a different CSC, but it must be for the same model number. If you try to flash S908U/S908U1 firmware on your S908E, you will probably brick it
Alright thanks, I want a csc that has enabled wallet and tv plus, which one would you recommend me?

Hi,
I wanted to know if flashing a firmware from another similar region was possible?
For instance I have the g920I from Australia and I noticed that the New Zealand version has been updated today.
It seems that if you your phone is unlocked to any provider you can then flash any firmware but I would like to confirm please?
Cheers

No it doesn't make any difference. I flashed the New Zealand on my G920I and it actually fixed some issues I was having. So it is safe.
If you flash the wrong firmware, you and your phone might start speaking with an accent. I'd recommend just flashing firmware from your region.
which variant do i use for galaxy s8 from japan? Sm-G955J / SVC35
Please
variant of what? you looking to stay w/Japanese or go to another region/country?
I just want to use an operator-free rom stock, but I can still use it in Japan
Thanks for help!
What's Japan use for cell svc, GSM? Exynos phone? If so pretty much any custom Exynos ROM, with the version appropriate CSC ought to work just fine.
Maybe it's out of topic, but kinda similar with my question, and the last reply is still quite recent.
I just got a used s8+ g9550 (TGY/Hongkong). I looked at Phone Info app, it comes with Hongkong PDA & CSC (G9550ZHU1AQG6), and US version of BL & CP (G955USQU1AQGL). Still on Nougat 7.0.
It works just fine here in Indonesia. But I'm afraid it won't be getting any OTA updates since I'm not living in China. Is it actually OK to mix up the firmware (AP, CSC,BL,PDA) like that? What versions are compatible with my device?
I'm totally new here. I don't even know why there're 4 firmwares for each device, and what each one of them is for. All I know CP = Modem/Baseband, BL = Bootloader. Mind to explain it to me? Thanks

I beleive your phone is a snapdragon processor not exynos - if it is chinese, I think there may be a way to unlock the bootloader but I am not 100% sure of that. I know that the S7 Chinese was able to be unlocked but there was a special ap you had to install in order to do it.
I know I haven't helped much but I wish you good luck...

I'm looking to go US, T-Mobile to be specific. What do you suggest?
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

I dont believe there is. You may be able to chop a csc together. But I'll let some one else chime in

Just use a VPN and make sure it's connected to somewhere in America and you should be fine.

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?
Please bare with me as I am new to this android thing.
I got my hands on an unlocked AT&T Z Flip 3 and I tried to flash OEM unlocked firmware but it ended up being the Thom Brown version. I want to revert to AT&T Firmware or the real unlocked XAA firmware but it does not overwrite this Thom Brown firmware with either the bare ODIN or Patched ODIN.
I, a newb, really need help. I greatly appreciate your help. I tried to figure it out on my own.
Hi,
It appears no one has offered any help, First thing I need is the exact AP & PDA version - this can be found in download mode..https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-40238.html.
I also would like the model number and service provider software version of your phone - these can be found in the - Settings/about phone & then also go into software version.
Just a question also - when your flashing ATT unlocked firmware XAA with Odin, are you using the CSC or home CSC in the CSC selection??
I will help more once you reply.

Hi,
Sorry I did not get back to you quicker, you may get more help if you post in the Glaaxy Z fold 3 xda page.
Though, from what I've read it seems you could try and tick the repartition box while flashing the ATT stock firmware. Just in case the Thom Brown firmware has created or used a different partition to store data. Its worth a shot. Let me know how you go.

Hello, sorry for the delayed response. I flashed a tmobile firmware to make it different and that worked. Once it was not the Thom Browne and it was tmobile, I was the able to flash all around unbranded software. No more Thom Browne. Thank you for being the only person willing to help.

Flash the HOME CSC instead of regular CSC to retain userdata
The SM-S908U is the US carrier version. The SM-S908U1 is the US non-carrier version. The former gets updates from the respective carrier. The latter gets updates direct from Samsung.
