for anyone wondering, its possible to change csc.

just switched to Rogers from korean skc.(im on a n950n)

had to manualy copy and edit files in odm and in efs folders on fone. it didint factory reset or wipe. ( downlaoded the snappy n960w firmware and extracted and converted everything from csc_omc??????.md5/odm.img.lz4)

so any exynos can be changed to any csc!

now we just have to wait for people to create csc packs to make it easier and fool proof.

one nice fact: once you are sucessful, in twrp take a backup of efs and carrier partitions and if you flash a new rom, restore these to get back your csc!

Samsung has proven to be fcuking lame again. It would take them 4-6 weeks to ship the preorder gift. That is ridiculous.

To update, I also got the $200 on top of the trade in value of the phone I handed in. That's additon to pre order gift of course. Though I do think the staff that helped me didn't read the fine print of the promo.

Please tell us more comprehensively how to do this. I get the idea but want to be extra sure! Wow

I'll find out soon I hope. Looks like it can be done, if so, heaven. Cause right now the smoothness and battery alone are giving me orgasms! Lol. This N9600 comes with unlocked bootloader too.

Look at this sick battery life. Half lte, half wifi, about 20 minutes of games, tekken 6 on psp emulator 10 minutes or so and tekken 3 on psx emulator 10 minutes. Didn't think battery would be special as it dropped to 98% quickly once off charge. Bluetooth on all the time, GPS all the time too.

Anyone know if it's possible to get wifi calling and/or VoLTE working on Bell or Rogers using an overseas Exynos Dual SIM model of the N9?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] greatg:
No, not possible. If your phone is not purchased directly from the carrier, they will not activate this feature. I purchased directly from Samsung and Rogers refused to allow Volte feature. They gave me some bs, that special software is required that only branded phones have.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] azim.esmail:
That's weird. I've bought phones directly from the manufacturer (S8+, Note 7, and Pixel 2 XL) and WiFi Calling worked fine on Rogers. Even phones I've got through Bell, like my LG G6 and G7, worked. The only phone that didn't work at first was my Sony XZ2 Premium.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] greatg:
I spent hours on the phone with Rogers and in the end they suggested I return my phone to Samsung and purchase a Rogers branded device so that this feature could be used. Guess you were lucky!

Anyone here get the 960 F / DS dual sim model? What features are you missing? I ended getting a really good deal ($850) on a new one and am using it...don't know if I should fork over $1100 to get the Canadian version...so far, I've noticed LTE speeds are good but not as fast as the 960W...and sometimes, incoming calls may be missed as the phone drops from LTE to 3G, but that is very rare. What should I do? Keep the dual sim and save $400 (considering it's essentially the same phone), or get the 960W? First world problems!!

Hey guys. Quick poll. I have yet to see any form of status for my free gift. I filled out the form 7 times got 7 confirmation emails yet no status.

I know some people have already received the gear iconx. My question is.

Are you able to see some kind of status in "My offers"? The girl from Samsung said you see nothing until it ships which is a crock of s**t Imo.

Let me know about your experience so far.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] coremark:
So I preordered my Note 9 on Aug 10th, received it Aug 24th and also I registered for the Gear IconX too. Received an email for my IconX that registration was complete on the 25th.

I then got an email Sept 7th that my IconX was finally shipped and received it on the 12th.

I just checked my status on the "My Offers" section on my Samsung account just to see and still shows "Pending".
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Thanks.

At least you HAVE a status. All I see is my charger from the not 8 last year.

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

Did you sign up before you received the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] coremark:
Yeah, I signed up for the Gear IconX before the phone arrived. I actually didn't know how to redeem it and I was told by a Samsung rep by email to register for your Gear IconX online through your my account. After that, he told me once you input your Samsung account credentials into your Note 9, it will automatically complete the registration.

So when I got my Note 9, I went through the setup process on the phone and when it asked for my Samsung account, I just input my email address and password on the phone and then within 2hrs, I got a Gear IconX email saying thank you for completing your registration, said something like your gear IconX will arrive within 6 to 8 weeks. Sorry, I don't have the email anymore.

Honestly, it was my first time ordering from the Samsung Canada store and would never know how to redeem it. I thought it would just automatically ship with the phone or something like that. If I didn't inquire, I probably wouldn't get them.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techvir:
The only provider I know that supports out of provider device is koodo... You may have to call koodo to activate wifi calling and volte on your line if u have a non koodo phone... Could be applicable to Telus as well.

Both bell and Rogers won't support other devices...

However, I think, if u have an iPhone after a particular generation, based on the provider it's universally possible. It is something to do with apple controlling some of these features. Even unlocking iPhone devices happens at Apple s end.

Such a shame that Android users cannot enjoy this.

Freedom also supports international rooted galaxy devices with proper csc onto their network for VoLTE and VoWiFi (in all this switching from csc folder to odm folder system, managed to get s9 working fully, and s8 partially (only wifi calling for now.

to anyone on a exynos note 9 that would like to change to XAC Canadian region and flash their own carrier please try:

XAC_CSCSelection_V1.0_SM-N960.zip

3caef8b2afc18c36e38a2bc01c3795a4

i tested quite a lot and adapted tkkg1994' pack to work on the exy note 9. My goal was to get the whole XAC carrier list to work. All credit goes out to tkkg1994.

As always, you flash this at your own risk. while i tested extensively on my N960N, your mileage may vary.

In Twrp, backup carrier files and efs partitions before flashing this.

after flashing zip, reboot and wait till home screen in completely loaded for about a minute or 2.

On my Rogers sim, i get wifi calling and volte and spamm options.

so unfortunately wificall is blacklisted by rogers but it would work if they whitelist your imei, volte is working and spam too.

do you guys think I will brick my device if I put on the SM-N960W firmware CSC-XAC? I just really want Samsung Pay without rooting.

Both are Snapdragon 845 devices.

SO my progress report:

SUCCESS!

Was able to easily flash SM-N960W firmware overtop of the SM-N960U1 no problem!

I am with Koodo, I see WiFi-Calling option but I am unable to enable it. Tells me to call Koodo (1 hour wait to get to an agent right now at 10am)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
What I can tell you is that on my snapdragon w8 model carrier aggregation is disabled (wtf). So not having it on F/DS would not be any different.

I am more worried about for example my s8 not really wanting to go to band 66 on freedom, unless forced, and even only then handshake at 5mhz instead of 15. Worried of the same behaviour with note as Sammy has locked secret menu's tight since oreo, so no chance of meaningfully playing with modem settings.

Lol unless [MENTION=4463570]force70[/MENTION] is also on freedom and can shed more light.

Thats the only thing stopping me from switching over.

Miss root and stupid limitations that I can easily edit out with proper access. I mean wtf.... I can only pin 3 text conversations max with Canadian model. Wondering if Sammy changed it for international as well, cause I only have s8 fds to go by, and pinning galore.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Sorry bro Im on Rogers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
I was too lol, but couldn't resist 13 gb with 35 percent off, considering recent lte deployment, and Roaming on big 3 (1gb there).

Can you pin to top more than 3 texts on international?

They moved the option from list to within text itself in the menu, so no more multiselect. Also no swipe to dial in the text app.

I'm describing behaviour on the w model, so if you can shed light regarding international.
