Well, in 0011 menu it's just off or connected.

If you are asking in secret menu root, I don't remember how I got there. But it something like setting/Protocol/yada/yada/Yada (basically all top pick till you get to page that has carrier aggregation, and rrc version on the bottom of that page.

It's option 2/1/1/1/ then last 2 options. Carrier aggregation is either on or off, including option for 3 CA, then goes up to cat 10.

Then rrc goes from ver4 to ver10.

Carrier aggregation pairs are from etc menu /somethig/information. Then second last option.

Depending on what rrc version is selected, the number of pairs and what they are shows here. Default is 14 pairs. With rrc 12 it's 18 pairs.

Lot of them are wasted on pairing with band 46 which I believe is tdcdma.

With us (I mean freedom people) band 66 is the one to get. The 7 and 4 and 13 are fallback. With rogers for example the best is having band 7 and 4. 12 and 17 and rest being fallback.

yeah i see it. but acctualy my initial inquiry was about modem rrc revision:

how were you able to determine what release your modem supports?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
i have a favor to ask you,

can you check your folder permissions on these:

system\app

system\etc\permissions

system\framework

system\priv-app

system\vendor\etc or vendor\etc

also please state which rom you are on and/or if on stock.

also do you ever use an USA sim from either?:

Verizon

T-Mobile

ATT

Sprint

thanks

When I flashed combination firmware. Secret menu root works (*#27663368378#) , kernel is permissive, and allows me to go to the RRC version (on this modem selectable from ver 4 to ver 12), as well CA settings (option for CA, 3CA and speed from CAT? To CAT10), also allows me to see CA pairs for this particular phone.. Unfortunately none of these changes I make, stick after reflashing to stock.

even if you backup efs partition and restore it?

also id be curious if you just exported efs/imei/nv_data.bin and then manually restore it with proper rights when you are back on regular rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
All permissions are 0755 for all folders.

Stock, rooted rom, stock kernel.

Used mint mobile last winter for 3 months when in states. They are on tmobile network. Had CA and VoLTE and VoWiFi on this sim with XAC csc loaded.

Can't boot to recovery with this firmware. Comes loaded with empty csc, it's own modem, system, vendor, bootloader, and kernel. If I repack anything other than removing csc, so they i can keep my own, the phone does not boot.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
thanks for the folder perms.

and for the combo, i forget that no partition can be kept over to stock.

edit

so new csc pack with added note 10 support. changed quite a lot of things installation wise. if any one can test and report back. ( need reports on note 8, 9 or 10 )

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AhXVLDDj8g3AgfIHllGFatUnojuCEw?e=Pl97jw
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
so i added an option to "reset modem" ( delete CSC files) during the setup. tested a couple times and systematically after a clean stock flash and reroot, CA was gone and doing CSC wipe fixed it.

current build in the test one drive folder now has this option.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
[MENTION=537184]Techvir[/MENTION]

i know u lost CA a while back. let me know if this fixes it. my tests were dine right after a full wipe so not sure if just wiping caches and flashing the csc pack with the reset option will work.( it should). just stay in home screen for a while and check ure data indicator(give it a good 5 mins to appear). when/if u see the + flash back csc pack without reset option.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techvir:
I saw that option in the new CSC v1. 6... Flashed it earlier today.... Checked a few times and have not seen CA show up on n960F yet...

I assumed I just had to flash the CSC and it will automatically delete CSC during setup

Ps: N950f it always showed ca...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
actually the one in test folder

https://1drv.ms/f/s!AhXVLDDj8g3AgfIH66xSUUYyF2YIHA

its a new option only in 1.7.what it does is deletes all csc stuff except keyboard and languages. you boot to home screen CSC-less for a few minutes and hope it appears(CA). then go back and flash csc pack again but dont choose the modem reset option this time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techvir:
I tried a couple of times but no sign of CA.

When I get time, I might do a full clean Odin flash and then try this once more. It has been many months since I had Odin clean flashed.

Otherwise, the flash went well. No issues.

Idea for improvement: It would logical to ask the question of whether to reset modem first. If the answer is no, then go to select the csc option.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
because I have to set wanted CSC id to efs/imei to mps code.dat so that system at least has an CSC code to show to modem to get signal but need also in the order of things to keed keyboard and display language files in odm folder and also i am lazy and thought about this reset thing after doing all the different device detection alteration i made. so yeah it could be done better that's for sure. what it does is flash full csc and deletes OMC and .prop file in ODM folder. so its kinda hackish and ugly but I'm no pro so...lol

but anyways atleast the moficiations made paved the way for gen 10 and probably gen 11. but they seem to like to screw alot with CSC file location lately so we never know...

i should probably be thinking of adding regular galaxy S devices aswell. guess its the next thing on the todo list. if you think of other csc mods missing or something broken, let me know
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techvir:
Nothing more that I can think of now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
Well that could be a key too. I remember when I manually deleted vestiges of csc, in order to replicate your discovery, back in February, I had to actually edit out all traces of csc in imei folder as well as delete the omc completely before my ca showed up.

Sent from my phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
im a bit wary of removing anything in the .dat files in imei. if a puk lock or sim lock occurs, i might get crucified lol. i could put 3 or 4 warnings and confirmations before wiping..lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techvir:
Something I noticed with your latest CSC pack : In note 9 after modem reset, I still get Volte and WiFi calling without vmc CSC for Virgin mobile...

No ca yet but I think I will have to play with imei folder [emoji848]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
actually that's by default now.

so the pack is almost useless now...lol unless you flash a rom that flashes an undesired csc. but then anyone could just go and delete the OMC folder and .prop file in ODM and basicaly that should do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techvir:
I actually got ca back...

It came back after flashing the reset modem option...

Previously I reported that it was not working.... The issue was, all the bands for CA was not available in the room I was testing.. Moved to a different location and ca shows up... Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techvir:
Was playing with Samsung messaging app and got rcs working.... At least the icon is showing up

I knew Virgin had this enabled sometime ago

Now I will have to find someone who has it enabled as well to test it out
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
oh so that's what that icon was. i remember when system had no root installed, we could see it.

so what did you do to make it show?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techvir:
Lol.... Removed root....

Gone again when rooted.....

I will find another device to play with and test if the rcs thing will work with root
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techvir:
Yesterday I got time to play with rcs.

I installed google messaging app and was able to activate it with a hack that has recently come out.

I tested with another device and it works. It was fun testing and solving but I do not see using it much :)

I was able to get CA working on Koodo with the csc reset.

I did the reset and let it sit half a day but it never enabled CA.

So I installed the original csc for my phone (OXM-SIN). Once that was installed, CA worked.

I then loaded the Koodo csc and CA remained.

Thanks [MENTION=8132601]bober10113[/MENTION]

I still cant get VOLTE and WiFi calling working though.

I just got a Koodo Note 8 and tried my sim in it and VOLTE and wifi calling work.

Then when I put the sim back in the note 9 and booted up, the volte icon appeared on the note 9 but went away after a few seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
the reset was with test version 1.707 or regular 1.706?

https://1drv.ms/f/s!AhXVLDDj8g3AgeA6IyH1iTzQAGB4MA

if it was on 1.707, then it might be something i added because i was testing with a USA user. so 1.706 would have probably worked.

anyways if u have CA working then that's the goal.

just ket me know what version you used initially.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] costy11:
It was an older one, 1.702
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
oh
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
Lemme guess... Your phone is originally from south America.

Well, I have this theory that South American exynos devices modems are setup differently from euro-asian. Which is why when I went to test some exynos note 10's, ones from Europe wouldn't ca, the ones from south America did immediately. Might be bunch of crap, but explains why s8 (Panama) exynos can ca on Freedom 66+66, 7+4 and I never could with n9 (Singapore). Even with csc reset trick, all I could manage is to get 2ca going on the robellus, never 3ca or 4ca. Still never got network top speed, compared to snapdragon, but was marked improvement.

Anyways...decided to keep n10+ Canadian despite missing root badly. Just can't compromise my plan price point, while not being able to utilize full network capacity.

Twas a good 15 year fun being rooted (yes counting previous years on Nokia smartphones as well lol).

All the best.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
so i think i figured out a way to make CA appear without full wipes.( initially i had mentioned full wipes and going back to stock...etc)

still am unsure of it and if it was a fluke.

but for others that want to try and confirm. im using (ambasadii rom btw)

flash latest csc selection pack 2 times:

https://1drv.ms/f/s!AhXVLDDj8g3AgeA6IyH1iTzQAGB4MA

1st flash: use CSC reset option

and boot to home screen and use device for a while. might want to go out side if possible

2nd flash: use puk reset option

in both cases, still choose your desired csc code afterwards.

there is a 3rd option in the reset menu, dont use it.

edit

nvm it dosent stick. saw it for like 15 seconds.

i restore an d backup of efs that i know CA stays on it and in the very same location it stick and dose t disappear after a couple seconds.

Copy/paste from Samsung.ca website

01

While purchasing your new Galaxy device, select the Trade-in option and complete the survey.

02

After receiving your new Galaxy, back up and then factory reset your used device. Be sure to disable any locks or anti-theft programs.

03

You will receive a confirmation email regarding the Galaxy Upgrade program following your order placement. Use the attached return waybill and follow the steps to send in your used device.

Looks like Samsung is again offering $200 above and beyond the quoted trade value, when purchasing a Note9. The fine print shows this can be any phone, any condition, so long as it's a Canadian model phone.

I would mention that it is for purchases beginning today. I'm not sure if pre orders made online and shipped prior to today would be eligible as those transactions would be dated before today.

If anyone is a fan of Samsung Flow btw but hate the persistent notification at the top, it can be muzzled by going into its details > categories: ongoing > and changing the priority to low. It doesn't fully remove it but makes it extremely discrete as a dropdown status bar only and not a notification tray icon constantly in your face.
