Pie Call recording -Working- - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Don’t take hard on me as i am a newbie and if you have a better idea please let us now.
This don't trip KNOX nor need root, it evens get's you samsung Pay where it's not available!!
But you'll have to factory reset your device
There are a few countries where call recording is not ilegal so we must pretende that our phone is from that country, to do that we need to chage the CSC code to that specific country. India is one of these and CSC code of India is INS
I'm from Portugal (CSC = TPH) , i own a N950F DS, and i managed to make call record working by changing CSC of my device to INS (India)
(This probably will work on other note models) without triping KNOX or root
1- Take SIM out (if you leave the SIM in it will revert to your operator CSC)
2- Flash Combination firmware with Odin:
https://www.hardreset.info/articles/samsung-combination-firmware/
(COMBINATION_FA71_N950FXXU5ARI1_CL12991683-i have bootloader 5 EXYNOS)
This will install a special firmware to your device that is used for technical purpose
On ODIN Put it under AP and leave everything Default
UPDATE : BOOTLOADER 6 EXYNOS

(thanks to CHRIS CHEN http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=10018577)
UPDATE 2: BOOTLOADER 7 EXYNOS
https://www.hardreset.info/articles/samsung-combination-firmware/
3- Change CSC :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...de-how-to-change-s9-s9-csc-model-csc-t3870836
RealTerm: https://sourceforge.net/projects/realterm/files/Realterm/2.0.0.70/
(this is real simple, don't be scared)
4- Flash PIE rom with Odin:
N950FXXU5DSB2_N950FOXM5DSB2
(Any PIE rom will do except the carrier specific)
In my case i flashed India
https://flb.st/Q1U7Z
5- Configure, let update, (i ended up with the India SamsungPay not available in my country, you can disable it after)
6- Turn off and insert SIM, and Turn on
Now the important thing:
Everytime you restart the pone it will ask you to restart as a SIM card was changed, Hit Cancel and ignore it or it will change to you CSC again once it boots up.
Update:
After 2 days of using intensely i decided to hit restart and confirm the new SIM restart.
Didn't lose my setings and Call record still present and now i have INS/TPH/PAK CSC,
Call recording is working fine.
Hope it helps someone and please leave a like, for at least i know if i helped someone and it's worth to make any post here

I think that maybe (I said maybe cause i've not altready tried) the first step it's not necessary; to change CSC you can simply do it using bootloader or and app called Phone Info Samsung...
it's more simple and fast....the rest of the process you described is ok
if someone have the time to try let us know if it works. Thanks

I have already same firmware in my taiwanese Note 8 (CSC = BRI)...received OTA
When i have more time I would try to change only CSC to INS (India)...no need Odin... then hard reset, let update and check if record calls native function is there...
Waiting suggestions before the test....

It will mantain the warranty status as IT don't trip kNOX

Hey, so did google change their policy about call recording in Pie?
Is there a list of countries that have call recording enabled? I would love to update to pie (got notification today) but I need call recording to be working.

Thanks but it is not :/
I tried to flash the india rom you provided but all it did was a factory reset. I still have the italian stock rom.
I added all the BL, AP, CP and HOME CSC and it didnt work.
Any help?

Do you have VoLte option in indian firmware ?
I tried it and I loose the data connection when in am in a phone call. There is a way to solve this problem?
From what I know my mobile operator provide VoLte but no option in Note8 settings in indian firmware.

I did it!
I followed the instruction in the OP and managed to install the Indian firmware with INS CSC.
I was on Italian firmware before. Now call recordings works natively out of the box on Android Pie.
Many thanks to jpl69 for the guide he posted.

No Google didn't change their policy. No 3rd party apps can directly do call recording as of Pie, but because this is built into the Samsung ROM, it is able to still function in those regions where Samsung enables it.
