Hi. I can't wait for another 3 months to get Android 9 together with One UI. I hoped that I can get beta version, but unfortunately it's available in selected countries only.
I thought that I will be able to bypass that block with VPN, I did it once for Good Lock 2018 using this post from Reddit. But I didn't succeed with the Android P beta.
The thing is, you need to use Samsung Members app to participate in testing, but looks like it detects your country using CSC. I have no other idea because I pulled out a SIM card from the smartphone, activated VPN, disabled GPS. But I still couldn't trick it.
So my question is, do you have any other ideas how I can install beta version of Android P? Should I wait for the ROM here at the forum? Or maybe I can change CSC someone without root (yes, I checked the forum but there's still no clear answer if I can do it or not as of 14th of November, 2018)? Appreciate any ideas

I found some firmwares for my model number. Do I understand correctly that I can install whatever country I want disregarding my CSC code? E.g. my CSC code is TTR for Austria, can I install BTU for UK?

BTU should be fine, that's the one that I want to try as well. As for the SIM card, don't think that it's actually needed.
I flashed BTU firmware, but for some reasons, it didn't apply.. I still have the same CSC and my regional apps are still there. Does anyone have any idea why it could have happened?
UPD. Looks like I was able to install BTU. At first, I flashed AP, but I had to flash CSC as well. So I did it in 2 steps. After flashing CSC my smartphone reloaded into recovery menu. I made factory reset from there and that's it!

I suggest you to read the old beta threads from last year. As far as i remember you need a SIM-Card, for example Lyca, wich can be changed to different countries via SIM-Tool App. but lets see if the beta arrives today after all.

Not sure now.. When I was setting up the phone after clean install, everything looked like it was BTU. But I didn't find beta invitation in Samsung Members. After that I download an app to check my current CSC code and it appears to be XSP for Singapore.. I tried to flash it several times, flash AP only, flash CSC only, nothing has helped..
But it could work though, as I have Bixby voice now (it wasn't available before). I'll post here once I have any updates.
Nobody has an invitation in Samsung members at this point!

although I have a german S9 +, Android Pie beta still isn't available for me. So maybe you'll just have to wait a little bit and then retry with vpn?

Hi, I've got an i9300 like 8 months ago, it was from a carrier "Claro", from Costa Rica (but not locked), I flashed a Poland 4.1.1 I think it was XXLIB, then I upgraded to 4.1.2, and then I had to flash again to 4.1.2 but with a different rom XXEKC, everything was fine
Two days ago my internet icon was gone, I didn't change anything, today I called my op to check the problem, they sent me an apn config, which I accepted, nothing solved, so I tried to switch to GSM only, and my phone stopped working I can make emergency calls only, my sim works fine on other phones, It's not connecting to 3G neighter. My imei is the same to the one in the sticker, and my SN is not 000000.
Every thread I read was about wrong imei or empty SN, and after a flashing, in my case it stopped working sudenly, I already tried to hard reset and flash another stock rom.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance

It's not available in any place, but I am downloading a rom for another operator in my country, actually the operator I am using right now, not the one who sold the phone, could it be an imei block? it's second hand but I've used it for 6 months and the problem started yesterday as I received the apn config after calling my operator
if the imei is blocked then your carrier should know so contact them
U can download the the official stock rom from sammobile. com . And flash it on your phone. Please make sure u select the correct country . This might help u.

Sorry may be I'm wrong but sounds to me like a network lock. Does it ask for network pin after restarting the device?

No, it just says emergency only in the status bar, and says "not registered on network" when trying to make a call
ADDED: I just called the original operator, they say the first owner of the phone doesn't have any pending payments, so it's there is no imei lock due to non-payment, however I have a chinese phone, and I would not explain due to xda rules but the chinese phone would not connect when I make it "look similar" to my s3. It's not reported as stolen nieghter, it just happened as I asked my operator for help with the internet access and received and apn config.

EFS folder is unique for each phone. It stores IMEI number and other relevant information about it.
There is no way to duplicate it from another unit, logically i mean, because it will be right it. A duplicate from other phone. And the operator can ban your's from registering in their network anytime.

My idea was to buy a motherboard and transfer the folder and discard the mobo instead of exchanging the entire mobo as I don't want to harm anythinng inside, but it sounds that exchanging the mobo is the only way right? BTW Im not totally sure if this is an efs/imei problem, I am the third owner of this phone and internet stopped working for 2 days and when I changed from "3G only" to "3G/GSM", it stopped working at all

I flashed WanamLite v6.8. After flashing I lost calling facility.
later I realized my IMEI was changed. I was kinda of hopeless. Tried whatever I could have tried for. At last I gave up. I unrooted and made binary number back to 0 and flashed stock firmware. Still I didn't find anything working. I gave my i9300 at service centre. Got it repaired. Thanks for asking.
I have an international S9+ (SM-965F/DS, 256G) and noticed there is no WiFi calling option under Connections/More Connection Settings (or anywhere else). What's up with that? The phone passed all authenticity checks I threw at it, including working Iris scanner and dual-aperture camera, so I really don't think it's a fake.
Of note, I have 2 T-Mobile Sims in it, and everything else seems to be working fine.
Stumped...
Unless you unlock the bootloader and flash the T-Mobile CSC, WiFi calling, VoLTE, video calling, and RCS will not work on the SM-G965F.
Wow, really? Where can I get TMo firmware? And if I do that, will it trip Knox and kill Samsung Pay? Also, will I get Tmo OTA updates after that? Thanks.

That is incorrect! I have it working perfectly fine on my Canadian version 965W. Did you flash to U1 and stay there or did you flash to the TMB U firmware? I have tried both but went back to U1 because of the updates contain the v2 bootloader. I don't have the option to turn it on in U1 but when I connect to WiFi, WiFi Calling automatically is enabled and yes, I have made calls over WiFi to confirm it works.

Thanks, I'll correct my post to say SM-G965F instead of "any non-US model". It seems that the SM-G965W firmware contains all the T-Mobile bits (eg. /system/framework/TmoWfcUtils.jar), while the SM-G965F does not.

The Canadian and US model are essentially identical.
Our exynos devices are vastly different but also superior in many ways. No locked bootloader for us, snap doesn't even have root!

In the UK, you will need to have a "branded" handset.
My S9+ was originally from Vodafone, but I'm using it on Three.
To get WiFI calling, I flashed the stock Three firmware.
You can probably get away with a BTU firmware, and flashing your carriers CSC, but I couldn't be bothered as there was very little bloatware on the Three firmware.

Ah - well that explains it!
Do you have linkage to the Three 9+ firmware?
I have heard there is a way to change the CSC without rooting, unlocking bootloader, or tripping Knox. I want to avoid that in order to continue using Samsung Pay. If I absolutely have to choose, I will root to get WiFi calling, but if it's possible to get it without rooting, I'm going to find a way!

Mixing and matching firmware can be hit and miss. I wouldn't swap Exynos bootloaders with SnapDragon or vice versa though. The CSC contains the bulk of the carrier related settings and apps. There are usually two CSC files. One will wipe, one won't. The CSC_HOME doesn't wipe but may cause some issues. The other will wipe, at least to some degree. You also might want to look at some of the Combination ROM's available to see if they have all of what you need.
In order to flash without tripping things. The modded or patched version of ODIN is needed.

So if I wanted to flash the US T-Mobile stock firmware, how would I do it? Where would I even get the firmware? It's not on sammobile as far as I can see.
So I flashed the XEU most recent firmware - released a couple days ago. My device is SM-G965F BTU. Downloaded via SamFirm and flashed the four files with Odin.
Now have VoWifi and VoLTE.

Good News!! The brand new XEU stock firmware with may security patch for the S9+ works with WiFi calling and Volte so no need to use the three firmware anymore. I don't know about TMobile but the changelogs stated improvements to Volte and VoWiFI so my guess is that lots of carriers where added to get it work in the multi CSC. Btu for some reason uses a different non multi CSC so don't use BTU

in your pics, it shows the phone seeing both sim slots, so that functionality should be fine. Flash this in Odin and it will no longer be rooted, but knox will be tripped forever on that phone. no way to un-do that part.

custom f firmware? the stuff you get from sammobile is OEM stock firmware
there isnt a bespoke dual sim firmware available. From what can gather, the firmware detects what hardware you have and will show dual sim if it is so equipped. Ive seen the d/s version discussed several times on here and thats always been the outcome.

ok, can you boot into the OS? If so, go to the play store and download CPU-Z, run it, take some scrrenshots of SOC, Device and System and post them here

And check This on CPU-Z its an exynos but on imei info its snapdragon, also cpu-z its G965F on imei info its G965N!!!!
If it is an N, there's no way to activate dual sim. It's got only 1 IMEI. The hardware for 2nd SIM is just not there.

i wouldnt trust the IMEI info page unless it somehow remotes into your phone via an app of some sort to physically check the hardware. CPU-Z pulls from the SOC, mobo etc itself. You can prove this by getting an older version of the app from one of many apk repositories (apkmirror, for example), once downloaded turn on airplane mode so that the apk doesnt know what device its being installed on, install it, run it and see what it says. It could have some info baked into the app for it to cheat, but id be for more likely to believe the imei info is cheating than cpu-z

i hear ya. i would flash the F firmware since that is what CPU-Z says it has. Im betting that the info from IMEI details is what was supposedly shipped on the device. Your software version says its a Exynos chip, CPU-Z says it is too. Id not trust anything thats telling you what processor is in your phone that isnt interfacing with it directly such as firmware and CPU-Z.

So its ok to flash F firmware to this device,,,even its on imei info says its G965N and even its says alson on the download (odin) mode its an G965N and firmware status its costom!!! Really sorry to trouble you with me my friend
We're adding a line on our Verizon account with an S9+ that was on Canada's freedom mobile network.
I checked the IMEI on Verizon byod and it shows not compatible.
I asked some questions on reddit and was told to try flashing U1 firmware.
Been a while since I tinkered with phones like this so I'm comfortable with it but wondering:
Is this possible?
And if so, where to start? Any guides here I can follow?

cant do it. the U1 firmware is for SnapDragon processors and the G960F has a Exynos. not compatible and youre not going to be able to use that phone on vzw period. sorry man. well, you can theoretically use it for data, but thats it. Basically, no F model galaxy phones on vzw

oops, i said 960, which is true, but it also applies to the 965s as well

Thanks for the reply.
This is G965W, from what I see online that's Snapdragon.
Does that make the switch possible?

my bad, i was thinking the F model for some odd reason. If its the W, then it should be fine. The only snapdragon models the U1 doesnt work for is the chinese ones

That's great then.
Can you point me to where I'd find instructions and download to the U1 software for G965W?

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...SM-G965U1/AIO/download/G965U1UES6CSH8/291028/
but use samfirm or firja to download it unless you like waiting for hours unnecessarily lol
frija
samfirm
get the pda and csc alphanumerics from that page i linked above and enter them in either of those tools (they do the exact same thing and do it equally as well as one another. choosing between the two is simply a ford/chevy thing)
from there youll need the patched Odin to flash carrier free firmware on a carrier dependent phone.

Downloading the file from Frija now, thanks!
Curious how would I have known to choose AIO over XAA or another unknown country code?

to my understanding, all the "unknown" country codes are unbranded and the only difference is the security updates. I just went with the latest one available when i flashed my U1 firmware

Hi guys, help me. I had installed the wrong ROM mistakenly. Now I am facing issue weak signals in SM-N950F. Can you please let me know how to find the original CSC so I could install correct one.
Thanks,

You do not need to provide your serial number, you should edit that out of your comment.
The N950F is part of the multi OXM CSC and is determined by the sim card you use.
Did you have carrier specific software on the phone before your mistake? If so, just download the latest filmware they provide and flash it with Odin.

Just seen your other thread, asking the same question! Do not open multiple threads asking the same questions! It clogs up the threads with crap!

It is not a rom. It just means that all the CSC's are included, Europe, UK, Ireland etc, which is then determined by the sim card.
The thread below contains everything you need to know and do on how to flash stock filmware for your country, which will fix your CSC if the rom changed it, or you did yourself in Aroma.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3677072
Did you flash Lineage OS? (Android 10) the signal bar is slightly broken, but apparently has been fixed in the latest build released today. If this is the case, you should have searched or asked in the thread of the rom.

No brother didn't flash custom ROM. I downloaded it form SAMMOBILE by searching SM-N950F and picked PAK CSC there and flashed with odin.

I can only imagine that you were on a carrier specific filmware. I use unlocked filmware here in the UK, if I flash my carrier filmware my signal is slightly better.
