verizon note

Hello is there a way i can flash my Note 8 BQK2 to an unlock firmware i tried but kept getting failed message
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jongoldsz:
Thank you for the guide. I was able to flash my Unlocked Note 8 to the T-Mobile firmware.

I have been encountering a small problem with my phone displaying a "refreshing sim data" message every 10-15 minutes. I have tried reflashing the modem, resetting to factory, clearing cache, and even got a new sim card. My Note 8 is on the most recent firmware update 2BQJA.

Any advice or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
Use Prince Comsy's Odin

Try flashing one of the other carrier BQJA (AP, BL, CP, CSC) Firmwares with T-Mobile USERDATA file...and see if you get the same issue
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jongoldsz:
Should I follow the instructions for changing carriers to flash another carriers BQJA firmware? Or the unlocked to carrier firmware instructions?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] manmay:
hello - I apologize for being a noob here, wanted to get some clarity on this.

I got my tmobile note 8 unlocked by paying off the the pending amount and followed the Tmobile's device unlock procedure. But even after that the phone did not work with Verizon's network.

Reading BlueFox721's post for carrier switching (link)

Is my understanding right that, first I have to follow the Carrier Switching procedure and then I can choose betw 2 options (opt 1) flash a specific carrier FW or (opt 2) i can choose to flash the phone with the unlocked firmware.

Am i also right that flashing the phone with a carrier specifc FW provides some advantages that are specific to that carrier's network setup (features such as wifi calling, 4x4 mimo) and that also adds some of the bloatware from that carrier.

Appreciate your replied / help in advance. tks.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcrompton:
Thank you very much for your post. Sorry for the delay but it took a little time for me to get things flashed again.

I actually went ahead and flashed the BQJA CSC and user data along with the V2 root firmware files. Hopefully the following information will help to solve the problem.

I initially did the flash at the place that I work which is a little bit more remote than my home but still has excellent AT&T LTE service. I was actually very hopeful because right after I did the flash and the setup I was able to activate WiFi calling and make phone calls with enhanced LTE Services enabled. However on the way home when I switched towers (i know it's a tower switch because i often drop calls there) I lost the call and then immediately from that point forward was unable to make phone calls unless I disabled enhanced LTE services.

I thought the fact that it worked in one area on one set of towers but not on another was very weird, but not the only issue since this is a fairly pervasive problem for most people and was for me on previous attempts with V1 root.

I then did the settings you recommended in Shortcut Master Lite.

I did have the edge test app but I wasn't sure what to change in there based upon your post. I attached a screenshot of what that showed.

I did find that for the section "N/W PS voice support" they were turned off so I turn them on.

In the IMS settings, I think they were already correct -- see attached

Any other suggestionswould be greatly appreciated ... but since this isn't working with either of the B firmwares then root on AT&T isn't useful to me since I need to be able to make phone calls lol.

Thanks

Who is your carrier?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kendotelie:
its Xfinity Mobile. Im just wondering if this has anything to do with the missing calling feature. Weird thing is that i booted up my xfinity note 8, and the feature was there until i reinstalled the sim card
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
Check to make sure the feature has not been turned off on your online profile or carrier not switched off...this could be the cause...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
For the EpdgTestApp, the menu is the three dots in the top right

EpdgTestApp in shortcut master lite

- EpdgMainActivity - launch

- select menu dots top right

- select activation settings

- select combination of options you want

...volte,vovideo,vowfi

To get the profile settings to show true instead of false they have to be added in carrier profile....

For instance, AT&T IMS..

I enter mine in Sprint IMS...

If your device is not provisioned properly, showing no Registration Information in the IMS Information link in shortcut master lite...then every tower you change to, could have issues...did you have your IEMI whitelisted and reprovisioned with ATT by a technician...you can also get them to add a imei from an ATT device not being used...

Hello - My Tmobile note 8 has the N950USQU2BQJA...

Which FW version do I need to download. "N950USQU1AQK2_COMBINATION" or the "HOME_CSC_OYV_N950WOYV2BQJA"

Appreciate the help. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
If you want to switch to another carrier Firmware and are staying with BQJA Firmwares you can download "N950USQU1AQK2_COMBINATION" and the "HOME_CSC_OYV_N950WOYV2BQJA", else if you are updating and switching to BQK Firmwares, you need to download latest combination and home_csc files and your intended carrier firmware...

But if all you are wanting to do is flash your carrier firmware...skip to carrier flashing and only download your carrier version firmware...the latest versions are on top
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] manmay:
Yes i am looking to switch carrier from Tmobile to Sprint/Verizon and i'm ok with staying with BQJA.

So i should download both "N950USQU1AQK2_COMBINATION" and the "HOME_CSC_OYV_N950WOYV2BQJA" and then just follow the "Carrier Switching" guide step for step.....correct??

(I understand that I have to replace the XXX in this command "echo "XXX" > /efs/imei/mps_code.dat" with "XAS" or "VZW")

will this enable the device to work with Sprint or with Verizon??

(or do I need to then follow the Post 3 to flash Sprint / verizon FW??

thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kendotelie:
So it looks like my using an non-xfinity phone caused some provisioning issues. I jumped back on the original note 8 and had xfinity reprovision the account then reinserted my sim into the att note 8 and VOLTE is back for now
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
Okay...yes you should be good to go...you can youse SPR, or VZW for the code for when you choose the carrier...and yes you need both combination and home_csc files to switch carrier Firmware...make sure to factory reset after factory binary loads...I think it is step 10 or 11...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcrompton:
Yep had that set

And as far as IMS ,,, I think I was registered

There was an AT&T pitiful that I went into

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kendotelie:
It won't work without flashing. Im using my AT&T note 8 backup on Xfinity Mobile which is a VZW MVNO. Only swapping the sim did not work. You have to have the correct radios flashed. Yes you will get OTA

Wasn't sure if you were in the same boat as me or not ....... I'm on an AT&T device and trying to get phone calls to or receive after flashing root firmware.

Enhanced LTE Services

Were you able to?

I'm currently on a non rooted Oreo firmware and everything works great.

I was going to try to compare settings in Shortcut Master Lite but I can't get to the same settings since I'm not rooted ( it there a work around for that).

Im not rooted either. Running unlocked Sprint. I think im good just nobody to test with at the moment. If fox is willing I'd test with him. I believe i get VoLTE but not sure. Haven't tested that.

Edit: totally didn't answer your question lol. My bad. As fast as the same settings, they may be different in Oreo. Oreo changes quite a bit internally.

Hey guys, having some trouble. Hoping someone can help ASAP!

Just picked up an unlocked Verizon Note 8, and I currently use T-Mobile. Popped my SIM in and text/data was great, but the calling was hit or miss, and people wouldn't hear me.

So I decided to follow this guide and thought I did everything right but at the very end was getting a model dismatch error from the Comsy Odin.

On the main splash screen, it still shows my carrier as VZW, when I followed the steps and downloaded XAC and had no errors along the way.

I'm having trouble getting anything not to throw up errors now, even the download mode can only be accessed via the recovery.

Would appreciate any help!

EDIT: Got this far now, but can't get it to flash. I made sure to edit UMS/PATCH: to 1, I set my CSC as TMB in step 25 of the carrier flash. But no dice from here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
What version of files are you using? Did you try factory reset in recovery before flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] iZandeR:
https://i.imgur.com/jmlNTs5.png

I tried factory resetting from both the recovery, and the settings menu within the settings menu of the Factory Restore page.

I've also tried flashing the files via Modified Odin, and Regular Odin.

I do get an "Unknow Error Upload" Screen when first trying to access the recovery though. It's black, green, and red.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
Try the guide again but use the updated binary and XAC home_csc files...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] iZandeR:

I tried starting again at the beginning of your guide with the latest versions you listed and the error comes up again. Unless these aren't the right ones.

For flashing the binary you need to use regular Odin...

You may need to use another port on pc

Make sure to keep SIM out until flash is complete and you are at setup

For G955U code is a s8 + distributed in the US, how they create a global CSC file, they update it and convert it to XXV, while you see that CSC code list that G995U NOT support. XXV

They can create a CSC flash file through recovery stock

Guys I'm mentioning those that this might interest or help (or help them to help others) or have demonstrated some expertise.

I'm continuing to solve the AT&T calling features with root V2 ( reminder I have an AT&T device)

No mater what combination of flashing different CSCs or userdata files I get the same issue of calls ending immediately upon making or receiving them as long as Enhanced LTE services is enabled. Noting that WiFi Calling provisions properly but is useless because if you disable Enhanced LTE then you can't make WiFi Calling calls.

Here is the latest....

I found that if I install Shortcut Master Lite and go to IMS Settings > IMS Launcher Activity > IMS Service Switch

Then disable VoLTE and VoLTE- video

Then I can make/receive calls and I can make and receive WiFi Calls as well (and this is with Enhanced LTE Services remaining enabled in the main settings.

I don't have VoLTE and I can't tell for sure about HD Voice.

So any ideas or further troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated. It appears that it has something to do with VoLTE and the way AT&T authenticates it

(Keep in mind I have a whitelisted IMEI and my AT&T note has all calling features on stock firmware)

Edit

The thing that I noticed about this that I thought was really weird is the fact that I can still get WiFi calling to work but voLTE is the thing that seems to mess things up
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Ok. Ill use you as a tester later on when i start working on everything again. Should be as simple as disabling those in the csc then.
