Hi
could you please answer my question, If I have note 8 from T mobile and unlocked it . Will it work in other regions like Europe or middle east ?
or only in USA ?. Is there are note 8 versions that only works in USA ?
Thanks
Yes. If unlocked. The modem is set for GSM/LTE frequencies that T-Mobile uses. Try the SIM card from that country with the T-Mobile unlocked Note 8 device. If you need different frequency then check Xda for modem firmware for that carrier to flash.

Hello, i'm in Italy and i bought S9+ 128GB SM-G9650/DS (China Unlocked Factory) to have Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU.
Can i flash FW SM-G965U1 (USA Unlocked Factory with Snapdragon also) with Odin?
Thank you
nothing?
Nope, because you will brick the device
No because the model number does not match, odin will not allow it to flash.
Prince comesy odin may allow it to flash but your un uncharted waters there so no idea what will happen
By any chance do we have any Odin method to root the Canadian Snapdragon versions, bypass the SM-G965W bootloader?
Nope. And dude a simple search would have told you that.
thank you all for the answers
you can make a rom out of the usa carrier firmware and flash it via twrp to your G9650 no problem. Don't let these noobs tell you otherwise.
@travis82
ahahahahaha I would need a guide to do it, so I was asking for the simplest thing, namely ODIN
I don't even know if it's better the G9650 version or the G965U1 version ...... in both cases, I have to use it in Italy with Italian SIM
He asked if he can flash firmware with odin, creating a rom and flashing via twrp is quite another matter lol
Can I flash the U1 Firmware with Mexico's Telcel CSC??
Hi guys, I made a quick comparison between 3 models (mine is the SM-G965W - Rogers) as recommended by some xda members. Some were saying it may be breaking the phone entirely, and some were saying it is working. Based on those specs all three models are pretty much the same including the Supported Cellular Bands. What is your opinion based on your expertise on this take?

I bought the s9+ sm965f direct from samsung unlocked in England (BTU). Didn't knew that HD voice, VOLTE and wifi calling wouldn't work in India. Is there any way to flash the INS firmware onto a s9+ (Exynos 8910 model)?
Used 3 Network SIM in England, now using Jio SIM in India, but not able to make calls due to non availability of VOLTE.

Were you able to flash INS firmware ?
Yes there is as the there is INS firmware on https://updato.com/ for your model as the Exynos varient covers most of the world including India
Even with some flashing/MSMtool/logkit/code/unlock/root, is it possible?
If Possible buy an Unlocked Version from Europe, China or India as Bootloader cannot be unlocked on an Carrier locked device from T-Mobile or Verizon.
Move to Oxygen OS 12.1 Global that supports 17 5G SA & NSA Bands, however with flashing other region firmware will not support carrier features like VoWiFI and VoNR and ViNR services.

It is unfortunate that it is extremely difficult to get dual VoWifi with latest oneplus phones in US. Even esim support would get the job done.
So the international version Cph2415 which has all the t-mobile bands support volte and wifi calling?

wait... you sure? Do you have any reference or did you buy a cph2415 and test it out? Is it T-Mobile only, or also ATT and Verizon and MVNOs?

Interesting.. need to do more research on this.
Hello . I have a question about the Galaxy S23 ultra from 2023 all models are equipped with snapdragon 888 gen 2 before in B model Samsung use their exynos chip so what's the best deal the main difference now between U model And B , can we change our U model csc to like B to enable call recording, can we flash B model firmware on it ?
The biggest difference is that u and u1 models can never be oem unlocked because samsung completely removed that option from the software. The other models can be oem unlocked.
Without oem unlock root and BL unlock is just not possible.
As for csc changes, I've tried to change my u1 csc to a B csc and it just won't do it. As for call recording I can't get native to work on the u1 but I have the app called skvalex call recorder and it works on my S23U

Your comment seems to suggest it is Samsung's choice to remove that option, while I understand it is merely a locally imposed requirement (providers? authorities?)

It's not local or providers because other devices sold here can be oem unlocked same as the carriers here allow oem unlocks on devices. Just not samsung. I've been told it's Qualcomm that makes samsung do this but why would they just do it to samsung because Qualcomm supplies components for other manufacturers that sell here yet they can be oem unlocked. The way I see it, it's just a way for samsung to prevent using any other roms on their devices in the US.
My question is why we cannot flash B firmware on it and does U model also has dual sim hardware like B and E model

No dual physical sim but there's 1 sim and esim but you can try to flash the B firmware but it gives an error. I'm willing to bet that even if you could force the flash that it wouldn't boot because samsung would probably make it a brick on purpose for anyone who tried to force it.
I had Galaxy s21 Fe snapdragon model single sim no esim and I converted it to dual sim a physical dual sim device
Both have physically different antenna/modems in them.

Wow, I haven't had Samsung since S3 but was looking at the ultra; and seen unlocked on Amazon(referring to network I suppose), I'm sure thankful to see this info. I was thinking about getting the international version for T-Mobile in US? Thanks for suggesting, advice, etc.
