i have tried to root my s21 and there is no oem unlocking option in settings. is there a fix for this

Samsung usually remove oem unlock option for US market. Only Exynos versions can do it.

S9+ change csc firmware

Hello All,
I just got the Galaxy S9+ Brazilian variant SM-G9650 with original ZTO CSC.
I want to know if I can change the firmware to the TMB CSC, T-Mobile USA SM-G965U, without any damage. (via Odin)
Both variants have exactly the same hardware.
up
I have an unlocked exynos variant. The original csc when I got the phone was ITV (Italy). I live in Greece and when I inserted my Greek operator sim card, I got a message saying that I should factory reset the phone with the sim card inserted so as to get the proper settings for my region.
I did the factory reset, and after the reboot the csc of the phone changed to EUR (Greece), i.e. to the csc of my sim card.
Is that what you are asking?
Otherwise as you said you can flash the csc you want via Odin.
965u is different from 9650. Odin probably will fail.

965u and 9650 have different bootloaders, as the first one is locked and the second one isn't.
I'm not sure if it will work, even considering both use SD845.
Little knowledge is dangerous
One is Snapdragon (U) and the other is Exynos (F/D).
To get T Mobile features on the exynos variant
1. Root
2. Load debloated Firmware which houses the T MObile tweaks
3. Load multi CSC file

Oh, I see. Maybe the original questions was never answered... My Bad.... I ahve been doing a lot of research on this topic and am possibly getting my threads confused. Sorry... So here is your answer...
No. You cant at this time.
I have been looking at every possible scenario I could think of to do this. I am going from VZW to T-Mo as of this past Sunday.
If you are on version 1 of the bootloader you "may" be able to. However, it would require flashing a International unlocked ROM. Changing the CSC with the field / test mode app then flash the T-Mo ROM. This DOES NOT work on V2 bootloaders. V2 Bootloaders are almost any device after the first software update. And to be honest with you I may even be confusing this process with the S8+
If you find anything post it here or send me a PM. I will do the same for sure!
Good luck to us with this!

Yes, Seems he may be confusing F/D for the 9650 which as far as I know there is no F/D variant of the 9650.
F= Exynos
D=Dual SIM
to those that do not know.
Thanks sir!
Is there any way to change CSC from TTT to ZTO without a SIM card of region and without root?

Sprint has the UICC unlock thing locked until day 51 of your lifespan with the device.
I believe if you flashed the unlocked firmware, you will be UICC unlocked.

Search out the unlocked firmware. And I can't help nor did I test it.

Can anyone verify that if I flash the unlock firmware to my lock Sprint Samsung Galaxy S9 plus that my device will be carrier unlocked for other carriers? I tried using techmajesty and after 10 days of them trying to unlock my device they refunded me. Does anybody know anyone any carriers or any way I can unlock this I'm willing to pay a fee I don't care I have seen unlocked thanks in advance
I flashed unlocked firmware. Still UICC locked. It shows some app trying to verify phone on Sprint network with no SIM card in it.

No i flashed the BTU firmware & i didn't find the OEM option to then I flashed back XSG firmware at Friday, so I have to wait until next Friday to showed up .
You have to wait for 7 days since you enable delevoper options.
Also make sure you flash TWRP immediately after enabling oem unlock or else you'll get dm_verity error forcing you to wipe your phone and wait the next 7 days.

Question will the s23 ultra have root?

i know all the models will be snapdragon chipsets from what i understand. that said, will there be root? i know the US is prob not gonna see root, but what about the UK/EU models? root for me is a 100% buying factor for anything tech related like phones. thanks.
I've been wrong before but I highly doubt it will happen anytime soon if at all.

if you can unlock the bootloader then you can root it with a magisk patched AP file through odin
I would assume that its the same as with every recent Samsung phone for the last years: you can unlock the Bootloader and flashed a patched AP image - triggering Knox and loosing warranty in some regions....
No need to wait for anything, as rooting has worked on OneUI 5.0 I would hope/assume that it works still for 5.1 as well

Yeah the big difference is now they are using Snapdragon processors on all versions. You probably will still be able to in certain regions but I wouldn't be surprised if they end up being locked down either.
@znel52 and @EtherealRemnant : definitely, its only speculation right now and therefore I just gave the assumption....
I'm still unsure whether I'll take the plunge and root the phone, most probably not at first....
yes, they will have unlockable bootloaders in most likely all other regions than the USA
think back to 2014, most of samsung's phones (galaxy s4, s5) were snapdragon based, and almost all of them (besides the USA variants) were unlockable (USA variants usually got exploited after tho, since touchwiz was filled with bugs)
so we have no reason to think samsung wont 2014 us again, which in that case its the best, since that was samsung's peak..
I will know for sure on friday/saturday.
Mine shipped today
If it's really not rootable I will send it back immediatly.

please make sure it's the first thing you do and report back holding off until its definitely rootable
like i said yall my ONLY pass or purchase is root. i avoid us phones for this cause. of course, i may just snag the s22 ultra at a decent price who knows. kinda tired of the OP9P. miss sammy.
im new in android community, since 3 years of stop, and using iphone as main smartphone since the last 12 years. so i ordered s23 ultra 512gb now and i hope that i will be rootable. (germany)
Fingers crossed....

Okay, if you can, continue the process. Let us know if you can fully bootloader unlock and root. Just toggling that switch doesn't enable true bootloader unlock, it's just one step of it

"Factory Unlocked Phones are not made for a specific carrier thus are unlocked out the factory. These phones can be used on ANY GSM carrier as long as the phone carriers the band widths that carrier supports."
In simple words yes It should work with no problems. However It depends on band widths your carrier supports.
About software updates you will receive everything. Don't worry

You may have to change the CSC to India for everything to work nicely.

Depends....every carrier releases at different times. If you want to stay updated the fastest. Then download and flash who ever comes first then change the CSC to your preference.

Yes, You will get update when curruntly set CSC gets update. (You can check from Settings - about phone - Software Info)
Though If your device is S918U/U1 may some network features won't work expected, specifically Jio.

Getting updates should not be a problem. Some things may not work unless you change the CSC.

My phone from another region was not reading the SIM card. Once I changed the CSC, it did.

Not sure about now, but few years back I changed the CSC of my device to make it detect the SIM card. It wasn't from the USA though.
The option you're referring to is now housed in Preconfig.
MPS CODE.
Enable it....to prevent your CSC from changing over when you put in any sim card. Disable it and it will always change.
