Yes volte and wifi calling work. As I said though.. If you flash HOME CSC YOU'LL BE SCREWED. I did use patched odin
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] capeorigins:
Lol but why, I've always flashed Home CSC and never had a problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Yup I know that Flashing HOME_CSC will likely result in a soft brick - But it's actually pretty difficult to really break a Samsung device when you have the Stock Samsung Firmware & Odin - I know because several years ago I was Flashing a Note 3 & a Note 4 at the same time & early in the morning I accidentally Flashed the Note 4 Rom on the Note 3... There was a moment of "oh sh*t" but it all worked out ?

Did you use the patched Odin to Flash the CSC or regular Odin? & Thanks again ?️

i installed one of the beta versions on my AT&T G960U. i admit it wasn't the U1 version of the firmware, but here's what i did to revert back to stock.

go here: androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=280875

(since i can't post links, remember to put https:// before the android file host)

download the firmware and the AT&T user data. the firmware file is super compressed so you'll have to use something like Winzip or 7-zip to uncompress it. the native Windows compression app will not uncompress this file.

i used Odin and flashed to ARG7, then used the native update from the phone to get the OTA updates from AT&T. if i remember correctly, it did 2 minor OTA updates before jumping to BRJ5. now i'm on BRJ6 that was pushed to me last week.

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

Although, this does bring up a valid question. How are we even able to flash unofficial builds? They should be lacking the security things that the stock recovery is looking for. If this is the case, couldn't one of these "unofficial" builds have a rooting utility injected into the system partition? Or are these leaked unofficial builds?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Terarod28:

Canadian SM-G965W here - Flashed BRJ5 successfully with Patched Odin - Flashed CRKK from sd card - Rebooted - But still on BRJ5? I'm very comfortable Flashing Custom Roms - But not sure what I missed?

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
How quickly did it install from the SD Card? Also, check your recovery log when you flash it. It probably threw some sort of error. All else fails, sideload it, which I will prewarn you is painfully slow, like in the order of 30 minutes slow.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
It didn't take all that long to Flash CRKK - But I don't have any reference point as to how long it should take? I'm just restoring apps with Smart Switch & I'll try Flashing the One UI beta update from the sd card when it's finished restoring.

I also have the ZRKJ on my sd card - Don't know if I should try it if CRKK doesn't work?

I miss TWRP lol.

Thanks for the reply ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
If it was pretty quick, it probably hit an error. Check your recovery log. It probably told you it couldn't mount the SD Card. Most people are having to sideload. Just bear in mind as an idea of how long it should take, your flashing a 2GB update. Most OTA's are 300-ish MB, so it should take a minute. No problem on the quick reply, I had my phone in hand atm anyway, I am still getting all my apps setup from switching to CRKK myself.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
I suggest do it adb way, some of these build on pie fails from sdcard, just thought i mention it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
And I will agree, TWRP would be lovely for our device. If I could map the partition layout (good luck to me with that), we might be able to flash something with a super, EXTREMELY heavily modified version of Odin, but don't get your hopes up. Samsung has done a pretty darn good job at locking these things down. Only reason Exynos has it is because Samsung will bootloader unlock those bad boys.

You need to start over fresh.. do not load your Canadian csc.. load it after you finish installing pie..
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
It's definitely not an error with your tools. It's one of three things and I honestly don't know which. First, your odm partition is corrupt, which is unlikely given you just did a restore with Odin prior to this. Second, your update.zip us corrupt and the partition didn't download correctly. Or, finally, your device isn't compatible with that particular update package. Maybe someone else from Canada can shed some light on this, and inform you what they did. I'm not sure.

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

Actually, Alphaman is probably right. This package is intended for US devices, not Canadian ones. I'm not familiar with Canadian carriers or what the spec differences are on the devices, but this does seem plausible.

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

Also if you need a Verizon CSC to help you out, I have one, but it's only gonna help if your carrier is CDMA, I'm not sure if any of them in Canada are. I know North America was pretty heavily CDMA until recently and I remember reading somewhere that the Canadian Government was trying to force all carriers to switch to GSM, but I don't know how that panned out.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
[MENTION=6843481]Alphaman10[/MENTION] Yeah I Flashed the BRJ5 CSC & running the adb sideload again - Seems to be getting further along at ~ 73% now - With the Canadian CSC it was kicking me out much before that.

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

Also, bravo Canada, I was correct. You guys are ditching CDMA fully. Sadly, in the US we still have 2 carriers that use it, Verizon and Sprint, and since like 75% of our MVNO's run on Sprint, I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon.
