Hello how do the lyca sim thing work

Is there a app or how do I change it to uk . I live in danmark

I got all the flash ting to work but when I press subscribe to beta it says my sim is not for the system . Can you please help me
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] namgniw93:
When you have flashed everything and changed your CSC to BTU you boot your device up and insert sim, let it do its thing and then you will have the Lyca app on your app drawer.

I did this yesterday and can confirm that it doesn't work anymore, we will have to wait for the second phase and do it then. The UK beta is closed for now.

How do I get simtool?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AllAboutTech:
hi,

without the Lycamobile SIM /UK SIM you can;t just follow this process and then register to Oreo BETA?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] namgniw93:
Simtool is an app that your service provider decides if you can access or not. For example, if you have Lycamobile you get access to simtool in your appdrawer

you get the notification in the app but after you hit the Register buton you get a error that the firmware doesn't match the sim or something like that
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tecksulfur:
As far as I know the CSC is changing according to the country where you are.

For example, I am from Romania, I have Orange Romania as a carrier and I am currently in Germany. With roaming I am connected to Telekom.de.

So my CSC right now is not ROM, it is DBT(Germany).

On UK firmware is it possible to maintain BTU CSC even if you are in another country?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Z953RR:
The device take info from your sim IMSI so it reads ROM and you get in Romanian "samsung members" site. so cant register from there. You need to have uk or German sim. I am able to connect from Greece with uk sim, but registration is over. Now i prepare device with DBT firmware and i have a VOD DE sim.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tecksulfur:
And if I order Lycamobile? It will be good?

When you insert the RO sim you will be asked if you want to reset the phone, you can say no but I don't know if you will be asked again.

In beta firmware you don't have this problem
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AllAboutTech:
Hi All,

I bought a LycaMobile SIM today.

I am from Romania.

I flashed UK BTU AQH3 firmware.

Added the SIM to the phone. Went to LycaMobile services in drawer, change the country to manual and choose UK.

In Samsung Members popup 2nd Oreo Beta registration phase open and registered successfully.

Then software update received for AQI7 and installed it.

After the installation, now receiving the Beta update. Finally i might say!

Thank you.

Hello,

A quick question, i am also from Romania and i've just signed up for the 2nd beta registration, and updating as we speak. After the update is complete and i am on oreo, is it safe to insert my romanian sim back, will i still recieve beta updates without the uk sim ?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AllAboutTech:
Hi,

yes it is okay. all you will lose is the Samsung members access to beta community and beta feedback.

but the next beta's you will receive them.

P.S.: I`ve did it!

Quick question, If I change to the UK BTU (I'm on NN (Nordic) atm) will I loose Samsung Pay? or is it totaly safe to flash BTU and not loose any functions
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] namgniw93:
As I understand you won't be able to use it as long as you have the wrong CSC, but when you flash back to stock everything will work as normal

Since the BTU CSC doesnt support VoLTE and VoWiFi on my Greek sim card, I reseted with my sim card inside and it went to EUR.

My main question is, am I going to get any future updates with the EUR as my CSC?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Elfmirth:
Thanks, then ill just wait until official release since I use Pay daily ^^

Got my Lycamobile SIM today. Is the UK beta second wave still open?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] t-shock:
it was at Tuesday

So I guess it is
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xenios:
Tried a lot of times to do the steps. I was on DBT CSC. So I used SamFirm to download the BTU one. Installed and got PHN CSC. Could see Beta access in notices but got an error, device not compatible. UK SIM was inserted. Apparently mine fails for not UK CSC.

Downloaded MOB CSC which is not OXM (per other instructions), flashed.

Then reflashed BTU and I got PHN again. Either with UK SIM card in phone or not.

After flashing 6 times I gave up.

Saw it last night but was too late and was too tired to try it out. Will do today. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xenios:
OK. Managed to do it and get Beta.

As far as I understand it, the steps to flash a non OXM CSC are redundant. If you are on OXM like mine was (DBT first and PHN after several efforts) these are the steps.

1. Remove any SIM

2. Download the combination file listed in the posts above.

3. Flash it as BL and the HOME_CSC file from the OXM image you have installed now(yes just those two).

4. Give it time to boot into service/test mode

5. Press the 9 dot pattern button up left.

6. Select Factory_IME (nothing to do with IMEI so don't bother scripting down yours).

7. A keypad will display on screen.

8. Enter code *#243203855#

9. A list comes up with all the OXM CSC you can have.

10. Select BTU and aplly/set (don't remember the exact wording).

11. Turn off and reboot. Repeat from 4 to see if the current CSC is BTU.

12. Turn off and insert UK SIM card

13. Reboot into download mode.

14. Flash your 4 OXM files (BL, AP, CP, CSC).

15. Boot into Android.

16. Restore your data/accounts/whatever so as to log in to Samsung.

17. Check Samsung Members app. If the beta is still going on you should see an invitation. Register there.

18. Wait for update to come (around 1.3 GB).

19. Install enjoy.

20. I replaced my carrier's SIM after Oreo beta installed. Just to be sure. No reboot request after SIM card change, unlike Android 7. Just like Nexus/Pixel.

21. No Knox tripped, no errors.

Why wont it show in my notifications section? Im in the uk, on ee. Registered the phone in the members app and nothing....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] samteeee:
You are sure you're registered?! When you tap on the invitation in Member app, does it say "De-Register"?

If it does, reboot>Settings>Software Update>Force the update.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jaffa1980:
When I say registered I mean it is showing in the my products section. The invitation isn't there in the notices section. I would upload a screen shot but im using xda legacy and it says the feature has been disabled.

Does this make it any clearer?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] samteeee:
My "Products Section"?

Also your original "csc" ?

Sim-Free?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jaffa1980:
The my products section of the members app... yes the phone is all original I have not altered a thing.... sim free?? Im not sure about that, I got it from ee telesales... not got another sim to check it with... is there another way?

Im guessing it's probably not if the invitation is supposed to just be there... coz it isn't lol

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jaffa1980:
As I said.... it's not there. I guess it's not meant to be for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sirobelec:
Ra darn it. -.-

Managed with a VPN and the DBT CSC to trick the app to let me go as far as getting the notice, but wouldn't let me do it with no SIM card at all, and the moment I put in my actual SIM card (not German one for sure :D ), it resets the Samsung Members app.

Flashing TWRP and a Oreo Beta based ROM, snapping Knox in the process, is the easy way, of course, but isn't there any way to trick the phone our SIM cards are from another region, at least for 30 seconds (probably as long as we need)? :D

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] AsuraDas:
I know Samsung Pay only works with select flagship phones out of the box. I also remember reading months ago they were experimenting with opening up SP to other OEM's I believe Samsung Pay Light is what they called it. Is there anyway to get SP working? I have $20 worth of credits from my old s8. I definitely don't plan on getting a Samsung phone anytime soon. I also love Samsung Pay even if I can't use the magnetic magic that allows me to use it at places with no NFC.

I am expecting that this isn't possible but I figure I would ask.

Also I did Google and even tried to sideload the APK. It was Korean version and would not let me use it because I don't live on South Korea.

Some people think this is just a $900 phone. And that it is only good but not great. These people are very incorrect in their findings. I can't believe they're scoring the phone I have so low. She said my pixel was like garbage. Hearing this while watching this video they were going out of their way to elaborate their feelings and knowledge of how cameras work to basically say literally say the camera was taking garbage pictures and that it was the whole experience garbage. I'm for the pixel and against the other presented. But this is ridiculous. I guess I should remove the video because people will think I am trying to advertise for it or some crap. Which I'm not, only wishing some knowledgeable person would go over there for us pxl2's and tell her a thing or two

- Remove the rear fingerprint reader, replace with underscreen and improved face/retina unlock

- Remove the heart rate sensor

- No curved screen, ideally go back to a more square screen

- Larger battery, smaller motherboard
