Aw man, THIS is the model I should've imported, it has B28-700Mhz support, I recently ordered the G9550 because it was the only dual-SIM I could find with 6GB RAM & 128GB eMMC, can anyone recommend some quality importers, who will ship to Australia & provide decent after-sales support? TY.

Actually no it's not what I should've gotten, it seems this is not available in dual-SIM, right? TY.

Bloody thread didn't autosub (I'll have to fix that), forgot to manually sub for instant emails, luckily I just stumbled upon these 2 responses!

Interesting, I think that's what I found originally too but then lost it.

How do you know that site isn't incorrect, retailers often stuff-up this sort of thing.

Are you aware of any more

official

links that corroborate this?

Well, my OP was talking about the model that this thread's about, as I thought it was dual-SIM.

Thanks again.

Hi Nicholas,

I bought a S8+, G955N (LG U+) in Korea to use in US under Verizon network. Back to the state. the phone can detect 4G LTE data (aka using data to connect to the internet, skype, fb, gmail, wifi calling etc) but it can not actually make any call using voice service, Whenever I try to dial and call someone, the 4G LTE bar switches to 3G, then slowly losing all the single bar and the call fails. The verizon sim was recognized by the phone just fine.

Main Menu:

[1] Protocol

[2] UE Setting & Info

[3] ETC

Mobile: 100.66.5.244

Mobile_IMS: null

any advice is much appreciate

Newbie : Shifted from IPHONE 7 to S8+

Hello, I bought SM-G955N model (6GB rom + 128 GB, Exynos), I am not able to use SAMSUNG PAY in INDIA (It always shows to use korean sim) so i need help in fixing this issue and my phone is not rooted and running on STOCK OS

1) Can you please tell me how to make the SAMSUNG PAY work

2) How to install STOCK ROM of SM-G955FD (6GB rom + 128 GB, Exynos) to my phone

*I dont minded loosing warranty*
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nicholaschum:
1) Not possible

2) You will have to flash a custom ROM because there is no stock ROM of SM-G955FD -- models are different so Odin won't flash.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nicholaschum:
1) Samsung Pay is permanently locked to Korea. You can't modify this. If you modify it, you will trip KNOX, which will break Samsung Pay EVEN in Korea.

2) You can't flash other model's stock firmware on your device. SM-G955N only accepts SM-G955N firmware.

Hey everyone. I recently purchased a galaxy s8 edge 64g sm-g955n by mistake. I thought I was getting the US phone. I finally get the phone, turn it on and absolutely nothing is the same. I don't have any of the same menu options, it is only showing 2g of storage total, and it is running lollipops. It is the same outside as the s8 with fingerprint sensor and all but I can't use it because I have no menu options or anything. I don't have any security (fingerprint, iris, face recognition.) I can't customize anything but the wallpaper. What can I do to get all the features of a real s8?

I'm more or less in the same situation, I'm about to order this the 6gb version into Europe. So maybe an answer to this helps both.

I don't have a problem with the samsung apps I just want to convert the firmware closest possible to a fully featured S8 bought say in Germany or UK.

So working Spay and Samsung apps, I dont care for bixby but id like the chance to try it so I can form my opinion before remapping button :) .

Is it possible to keep all of this functional by switching just CSC or does it need a custom rom+CSC and will that affect the Samsung stock stuff?

I dont mind a custom stock rom(carrier debloated even) as long as it doesn't bomb the rest of the goodies.

Thanks

Is rooting on this device a safe procedure nowadays or is there any hiccups device specific.

On my s2plus i can basically flash supersu on twrp when needed, for removal/add system apps, and unroot after im done modifying what i want. Would this be possible in this case?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nicholaschum:
Just ensure you have the TWRP installed with [MENTION=6371894]jesec[/MENTION]'s instructions, and then rooting will be perfectly fine with Magisk.

You cannot unroot and untrip KNOX, once you root you will lose KNOX warranty (0x1) and is not reversible.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] j3tstream:
Im importing to Europe so does that warranty extend to me anyway?

Other then that is there any other downside to tripping knox?

For it to work outside Korea, the phone needs to be activated in Korea first.

Was your language already set up in English language? Mine is enroute.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] j3tstream:
no in korean, browsing xda now for how to remove the most out of any korean traces.

my remarks: coming from an s2 plus, this is some kind of mythical beast xD.

Got an otao glass, and while yea it fits well with the presidio case it is by no means a perfect fit. I can clearly see glue marks and a 2 lines across both edges, 1 is the edge of the glass which would be acceptable but the glue is way too visible even on top of the screen near notifications. also very visible micro dots all around screen, for now as all i care is protection im ok but on the long run im sure ill need to get a perfect fit glass. I can recommend if no other glass fits ur case but if u dont have that problem i do not recommend this one.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Whitehart782:
Excellent, thanks for sharing because I have eargerly been awaiting mine to arrive. I have a spigen glass screen on the way and a spigen tough armour case.......gotta keep that beast protected.

I saw a review on amazon for the device mentioning the Korean bloatware and branding, however I knew that would be the case and already had planned to root and remove anyway. Did you receive the Korean plugged charger with it? I'm in Canada so will probably need an adaptor to make the stock charger for the outlets here.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] j3tstream:
Charger is compatible with Europe, dont know if Korea also xD, so yea probably u need adapter for canada.

(Goddd... writing this on my s2. I feel like im holding a toy phone, O.o how did i survive this long)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] caniswesley:
I bought through amazon and received the Korean charger with an adapter. However, you can quite often find the Quick Chargers on sale through Amazon or Groupon, and of course this is precisely what the bundled charger is (fast charger). :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] j3tstream:
So 1week and like 1000+ pics after... Enjoying tons

Managed to deactivate most of bloatware from Korea with the paid app and the shutter sound mute app was a good enough workaround for me so far also.

As I had to travel this weekend i setup the phone in a rush with the minimum without optimising much, so now next step imo would be cleaning it up from bloat properly.

That said I did buy and Samsung phone with all the bells and whistles and I dont know how other people like their androids but as long as Samsung apps don't overlap with google ones too much I'm happy to use them and I dont consider them bloat. Problem is many of samsung apps as is come linked in some way to korea and that kinda ruins a bit the experience.

From what I can tell switching csc would be easy once rooted but also would get rid of warranty which i dont care, but also would get rid of secure folder and potentially block me from Samsung pay for good.

So I am really torn between this alternatives, I think SPay is an amazing feature and I wouldnt like to kill my chances so early if say a workaround comes in future, but at same time having to suck up to this korean vibe surrounding the OS, kinda feels like it is not the experience Samsung planned for, or at least not what i expected.

Im gonna give it maybe a day read some more threads, and i guess ill probably choose the one with less compromises for me.

Feel free to give suggestions or opinions on your rooted/flashed 955N, how much apps and compatibilty will I loose, how much more annoyances will I have to solve for tripping Knox and how much will I win if I root/flash a stock based rom?

Thanks guys

Great thread
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Whitehart782:
I have been using custom roms for years now but with this combination of hardware plus the features and great camera app, I have to say I am happy to keep as stock for now.

Some of the apps have traces of Korean to be found especially some of Bixby and Vision. Pretty much all else I have managed ro remove with Rom Toolbox app manager. There are many other apps that can do this freezing of apps but having a nandroid backup is recommended. Having my backup then whatever I do if it causes issues then I can just restore.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] j3tstream:
Yeah same here, always had CM on my s2plus, and tbh this one feels pretty good to me also after debloating with package disabler.

Managed to fix youtube 1440p playback using iYTBP and forcing vp9. Now even 2160p hdr smooth as silk :D

In hopes of keeping stock rom ill add a list of to do's.

Someone with a custom rom feel free to make pros list of having it over stock, i cant rly judge that as for now im stuck to this.

Stock issues left to fix imo:

-bootanimation

-T roaming menu,

-data mode switching greyed(im always in roaming dunno if this is why),

-Bixby and certain samsung apps still show korean content even after picking english as system default language.

-No Spay

-No ambient display notifications options, its either lockscreen notifications or ambient icons.

-Permanent unblockable network "current service provider" notification

-out of place carrier on bottom left of lockscreen

-shutter sound (half fixed with app)

-Youtube 12.32.60 is the last version with crop to fit but has no HDR, on hdr compatible latest apks crop to fit is gone (using iYTBP + default 32.60 apk together meanwhile)

-weathernews weather provider stuck to korean :(

*No root/magisk without tripping Knox

(If i find more issues/solutions ill edit this)

If im missing on some package that i should have disabled that would fix any of this issues let me know. Im afraid of disabling Phone apk even though there are 3, and I am not sure enough of any other system apks.

Edit: added a few more

Guys, have the SM-G955N for last 3 months in stock ROM.

I am based out of Hong Kong.

the only issue I face is with the caller ID. All local number stored in my phone starts with +852 ...

So any number would be +852 XXXX XXXX.

In any other phone when I get a local call - the caller ID with the person's name is displayed. But with the SM-G955N - it just displays the XXXX XXXX (i.e. the 8 digit numbers).

if I store the number as XXXX XXXX - then I get the called ID with the person's name. With over 3000 contacts - its just not possible for me to make the change.

Can anyone help - this is really pissing me off

I tried to install g955n ktc firmware into kt telecom career g955n. But it has been change to skt career system. Now all the bloatwares in g955n are related to sk telecom.(skt) turning on logo changed to samsung and when shutdown it's shows skt logo. I 100% percent sure that i have download the correct firmware (g955nksu1aql3_g955nokr1aql3_ktc) and i downloaded it from samobile.

Next time i treid to flash only bl and ap file. After that all korean career bloatwares (kt, skt, u+) are shows in my apps and settings menu showing as skt career. But boot up logo and shutdown logo didn't change. After that i flashed csc alone and then kt and u+ bloatwares has been wiped out. I tried same procedure with home csc and no luck. I just want to make it like when i buy it was. I have no idea how to give the priority to install only kt career apps. I just know that g955n have multi csc firmware.
