I have recently bought S6 Edge in India and the box states only for India region on it. I am travelling to US and want to confirm if it would work there with US Sim?
Hello fine people who know more than I do.
I purchased an unlocked S9 from Best Buy while in the States.
I am looking to impart my network in Ireland (eir/meteor) firmware on to it as I need the Wi-Fi calling that the unlocked US version doesn't have.
So I have the G965U1, the version software I found on another site was for the G965F does that mean it won't work correctly? Help I have no clue.
Hello, I just bought an S9 + (G965U) from the US Verizon company when I'm from Mexico and when using it as a US phone, despite being configured as Mexico, I see several applications as if I were in the US and I did not allows you to use it 100% so I wanted to know if there is a way to appear as Mexico even though the equipment was not purchased here?
Additional try to change the Rom for a different one from the same model (G965U) because the Verizon is too personalized by them but I was not allowed so I would like to know how to change the CSC correctly, followed the Note 8 instructions but the phone I showed error and I did not change the CSC so I ask for your help

What's the country of manufacturer, Latin American or Hong Kong? If it's Latin America, maybe. If it's Hong Kong, no.
Yes, the SM-G9650/DS is the model that Samsung is selling in Latin American countries, it has the SD845 and Dual-Sim with SD Card slot.
I also have this device in Ecuador and LTE works.
I am thinking of getting an S21 from AT&T because of the deal they have right now, but I don't like AT&T bloatware. I'm a noob when it comes to phone firmware and such, so I'm not sure what is or isn't possible.
My understanding is as follows:
Carrier unlock is possible via AT&T website to use other carrier SIM cards.
Bootloader unlock is not possible on AT&T devices (starting at V2 seemingly?).
I'm just not clear if you need an unlocked bootloader to flash the stock S21 ROM on an AT&T device. If not needed, what is the point of unlocking the bootloader, just for root?
Any clarity is appreciated.
You can use "patched ODIN" to do flash "U1" firmware, which removes bloatware.
Not sure about the bootloader, I think you're correct on that.
I flashed an Xfinity Mobile S21 (carrier unlocked by them) to U1 but so far the phone is refusing to use the proper carrier settings for VoWIFI (I have a VZW sim in it now). It worked for 1-2 weeks previously. Everything else seems to work properly including VoLTE.
I'll probably switch back to Xfnity Mobile to get VoWIFI working again.
Thanks for the response.
can I ask something related? I got my Samsung S21 from Amazon unlocked and I'm in International market. the phone has esim capability but it's locked up. my question is (can) I flash international firmware or let's say the one being sold in the middle east? I'm stuck with single sim which is pretty annoying. what do you guys recommend

My understanding is that the international firmware is not compatible with the US phones because the US version uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, whereas the international phones use the Exynos chip. I think you're stick with single SIM, unfortunately.

the snapdragon version is only sold in the US solely?
"International and Korea models of the S21 utilize the Exynos system-on-chip, while the U.S., Canadian, Chinese, Taiwanese, Hong Kong and Japanese models utilize the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888."
