Also. Does anyone know the new dialer code to access USB sections. *#0808# is broken and I can't set radio and other access to use my modem tools
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
So can anyone confirm yet if the SM-N986UZKAXAA in the USA has eSIM?

Its supper important that i be able to use two networks, and that's why I bought it from Samsung unlocked and not T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] j_hansen:
My Exynos 986b/DS also have eSim, I am using it already
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
According to the Samsung Expert, the unlocked USA model should have eSIM support, so 1 nano sim + eSIM. Hope he is right.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
I have the US unlocked model, and I can't find anywhere to access or activate the ESIM. There is an ESIM app, but I can only access the app info for it (force stop, permissions, etc) but not the actual app itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] GUnitNJ:
I have US unlocked version. It does not have ESIM support.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
T-Mobile said there is no app, you would just give them the IMEI number for the eSIM and they activate it. They said every Samsung from s20 has eSIM support.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Ok, that's very possible. Interesting, my box doesn't show two IMEIs. To use two SIMs at once, the phone has to have two IMEIs.

Either the US version will only support one SIM at a time (either one eSIM, or one regular SIM card), or there's a hidden IMEI. But I'm betting it only supports one at a time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
I wonder what would happen if you try to activate the eSIM, and put a sim card in as well.

Guess I'll find out when I get mine. If not I'll have to send it back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Let me know. I'm curious, too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
Did you get the US Unlocked version or a carrier branded version. If carrier branded then which one?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
US Unlocked direct from Sammy.

It SHOULDN'T be different than the carrier models. If it is, I'd be shocked. It would be the first time since the S7Edge that there were any differences (other than firmware) between any of the US/Canadian models.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
True, and if any phone would have two IMEIs then the unlocked version would be the one instead of carrier branded. I thought someone with US N20Ultra said they had two IMEIs on the box so wasn't sure
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Yeah, someone with an ATT device said that. But I wonder if they saw the MEID, which is also listed, and confused it with a second IMEI.

This is what the label on my box looked like.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] ekerbuddyeker:
Looks like a single IMEI.

(I got excited but alas)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
Well in that case, I should just cancel my order then. Seems like the one thing I need in a smartphone is practically impossible to get in the states.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] gotojanoo:
I have one extra line with sim on t-mobile. How can i make regular sim to esim? Do I have to call them?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
Welp, can't cancel my order.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] gotojanoo:
Esim Client pre installed on unlocked version. But they probably need push update to activate.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] lalu97:
I bought Note 20 Ultra Unlocked and I'm not able to find eSIM anywhere in settings.

Awesome. Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Maksim78:
BTW, just looked at Samsung's knox website and Fold 2 only has SamsungEuiccService in EU (Exynos) firmware

Exynos:

F916B_Q.pdf (samsungknox.com)

Snapdragon U/U1:

F916U1_Q.pdf (samsungknox.com)

F916U_Q.pdf (samsungknox.com)

If you can find out - would be awesome. I will dig into FW and see if service is there!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] rjohnstone:
FYI... the new TMB 3.1 firmware has EuiccService.apk in priv-app.

I just started digging into it this morning, but so far it's looking like the foundations for enabling eSIM are there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Maksim78:
Which phone? SM-F916U? F916USQU1CTLL ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] rjohnstone:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mdyche82:
I'm t-mobile and I've spoken to them and they say that they plan to support note 20 soon as Sammy releases it to them
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] rjohnstone:
It's interesting they say that as from what I'm finding, all the codes is there. Even TMB and SPR are not under the "single" folder in etc/carriers.

Looks like all T-Mobile MVNO carriers there as well. BST, SPR, TMB, and XAS. All other carriers are under etc/carriers/single
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mdyche82:
I take what they tell me with grain of salt. But was tech dept not sales, also for those with 9860, band nr41 is starting to turn on. They said they have about 500 sites in Los Angeles up and going. I haven't hit one where I live but they say their doing few every week. That was the reason for sprint merger to gain their bandwidth

So I effed up really big. I flashed tmb firmware now I get error saying locked by provider. Tried Odin. Sha256 failure.

This one I will give Sammy a,plus one. I have care plus through Sammy. Go to file claim. They don't care one bit about it being rooted. The lady didn't even know what I was talking about. I told her it's completely my fault and guess what. They don't care. 99 bucks. My new device is being overnighter and will be here tomorrow. I was thinking they was going to bust my xhops,but Sammy care is through asurion and they don't care. It'd treated same as broken screen or any other accident. I. Actually quite surprised. Mental note. Don't try to flash carrier branded software to xaa model.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
I've flashed carrier branded firmware to my xaa. I did Verizon tho.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mdyche82:
I was able to side load the euicc through fx file explorer and worked flawlessly adding esim. Lot better than my bootleg copy I had...so I had this genius idea. I'm t-mobile so why not add tmb firmware. Instant brick. Lesson learned. I'm new to this. But hey I can still do it 2 more time as I'm allowed 3 replacements in 1yr period.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mdyche82:
Idk what happened. Soon as it flashed. Passed. Reboot to this screen. Can't flash anything. Getting sha256 error. I made claim on Sammy care. 99 bucks. They didn't even know what root was when I was trying to explain what happened to it.

Maybe I should try unrooted flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mdyche82:
That is on my replacement device. Flash then root. I magisk patched whole ap in the t-mobile firmware then flashed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
Weird. Never seen that screen before. Idk but I flashed Verizon firmware on my xaa to try and get certain features, also flashed back to unlocked firmware with no problem. I'm also not rooted tho, so idk.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mdyche82:
Also for those who know how displays normally refresh the screen. This writes vertical instead of horizontal notice how the refresh lines look. Didnt know that. Standard display is top to bottom. This looks kind of vertical
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mdyche82:
It's probably cause I patched then flashed. I'm going to try before I root .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mdyche82:
Well find out tomorrow, what I don't like though is carrier based tether. Rooted I get shared 5g internet unmetered. With branded I'm capped at 50gb 5g/lte then after that they drop me to 3g /4g speeds. Most months I use 100 plus gb. I stream live TV while I work instead of radio I watch TV
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Maksim78:
Use patched ODIN to cross-flash any carrier or XAA firmware. This version doesnt check for SHA and signature.

You probably got vbmeta FAIL since you didnt flash vbmeta_disabled.tar and got locked.

You you even get that locked screen again:

1. Disconnect phone from PC

2. Press and hold Power and Vol - together until screen turns off. Release keys

3. Immmidiately after press and hold power and Vol Up and Vol down together.

4. Now you are in download mode. Flash official firmware with CSC, not CSC_HOME, log back into the phone, skip setup.

5. Put phone in Downoad mode again. Flash vbmeta_disabled in AP

6. Flash your Magisk patched firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mdyche82:
ea c v4

That's exactly what red box says. Vbmeta fail. I have new device here Monday, but your saying I can fix this,one?

Absolutely. With instructions above.

Can you send email to aartn@live.com with full process , sorry I know hassle

Sweet. I'll just keep my replacement..after all the work I put into that one ...it feel like I lost one of my children

im back up and running, i will have another 986u1....500 bucks anyone want it. 128gb xaa, i dont have to return my old device so i got phone for 99 bucks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
How do you not have to return your old device? If you made a claim thru Samsung care or Assurant, you definitely have to return the defective device. Iv done a couple thru Samsung and T-Mobile who both use Assurant, and every time I had to turn in my defective device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mdyche82:
the lady on phone said i didnt have to, this is my first claim so idk ... i guess ill see monday when i get it,
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mdyche82:
i already paid to have thisone unlocked so i may just send back new one if i have to return it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
I mean I hope she knows what she is saying, I know if you don't return the old device they will charge you the full price of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
She probably was misinformed. You have to return your defective device within 14 days or something once you receive the new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mdyche82:

Changing CSC to Verizon doesn't provide you all features? Do you really need to flash firmware? Just curious. What additional features does one get by flashing firmware that you wouldn't get by changing CSC?

Or Is it because u had XAA firmware?

FYI i have unlocked Tmobile branded Note20U and then when i moved to ATT, i changed CSC to ATT and get all features, no need to flash ATT firmware unless im missing features im not aware of.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
RCS does not work in samsung messages on unlocked Verizon no matter what you do. I had also followed another thread to get RCS working but it turns out it's a Verizon thing that is blocked on unlocked USA phones. Flashing Verizon firmware gave me that feature, but I eventually went back to XAA because I just use Google messages now.

After unsuccessfully trying to root latest DUB5 firmware form T-mobile with Magisk - found a solution:

Samsung apperently changed vbmeta in ONE UI 3.1 so we need to wait from vbmeta 3.1 disabled.

1. Patch original T-mobile AP with Magisk.

2. Replace BL_N986USQU1DUB5_CL20936746_QB38027387_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 with other BL image from Android 11 (One UI 3.0 XAA will work).

3. If you do not repalce BL file, you will get an error "vbmeta_fail" and your phone will get locked.

The t mobile euicc is looking for 30.0.6 version before it will install and run correctly.

I can't mount it as editable to look for just 30,

Any ideas, unpack on my laptop and edit that way...

If I put it to look for 29 and up it should work. I got it to back door install but it's,not writing profile cause version it's looking for ain't there yet
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mdyche82:
I can attest to that , briked mine 5 times
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Maksim78:
What exactly are you trying to mount? What is 30.0.6? Verison of euiccservice?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mdyche82:
looking into the tmb euicc file i got from you, you know how thye look for version of android to run and install on, this one is looking for 30.0.6 to install on, open up the installer package and in the android manifest, in complie version sdk it says 30.0.6 for version name r.0x1 android:versionName "30.0.6" like its looking for highr version than is installed as om sdk 30

i found a retorfit installer inside the package that writes the kotlin to metadada but looking at install log it freezes after it sees im only on sdk 30...was thinkingif i could modify the version it was looking for to 29 and up that it might install correctly maybe 30 and up because file system is way different, i cant edit the file though , im going to try to open on my laptop and see if i can modify...but thats project for tommorow...theyre laying foundation to enable but this should have been back in 10 like they promised, i got it halfway working and it found and added my plan but wont make or recive callss as it cant fine imei for esim ......
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fluke1979:
Ok ive seen a lot about the esim but what about the dual sim option? or does the snapdragon model not have the slot for that? I know it doesnt com with the dual sim tray and its obviously not as easy to just get a new tray and pop your sims in. But is it a software or hardware issue for it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Maksim78:
I have euiccservice running on TMB DUB5 firmware natively. 30.0.6 is the actual verison of euiccservice.apk, NOT SDK. Min SDK is 30 and Taget SDK is 30 as well. Still cannot get eSIM to work, it gives me "Invalid chip on eSIM" whne trying to add plan.

I flashed AP from 9860 into 986U1 and it does appear with 2 physical IMEI numbers. BUT the SIM is not recognized in secondary slot (I bought a tray with DUAL-SIM from Exynos verision) so no LUCK.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] rjohnstone:
A dual SIM tray will fit, however there are no SIM contacts for the second slot. Only contacts for an SD Card.

First IMEI is for the physical slot, second is for the eSIM.

ok so how do we get the esim activated then? with unlocked bl this should be possible now right?

Do you guys have anything in this UE menu (LTE BANDS & CA COMBINATION)? I'm trying to set aggregations and don't find a way to do it. On recent firmware update I see 4G+ sign is way less often and using NSG app I can see that phone tries to connect to 2xCA finds second tower and then disconnects.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] a43:
Would you mind sharing these files with me?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] a43:
I've been trying to enable CA combos. Unfortunately Snapdragon 865 and it's sx55 modem is not using 00028874 file anymore for carrier aggregations and I've found that TGY (Hongkong region CSC) and CHC (China) firmwares have different CA combinations in /nv/Item_files/modem/lte/rrc/cap/prune_ca_combos files. Also TGY firmwares have additional folder /ca_band_combos with ca_bands_454_06 (45406 is the MNC of SmarTone mobile operator) and it's having same format for CA something like that:

e-3AA-mAll;e-3CA-mAll;e-3CC-mAll;e-3AA-3A-mAll;e-3AA-3A-7A-mAll;e-7C-20AA-mAll;e-20AA-7A-3AA-mAll;e-38CC-mAll; etc.

I`ve created my own prune_ca_combos list and ca_bands_ files for 25001, 25002, 25099 - I live in Russia and those are Russian MTS, Megafon and Beeline MNCs. I can see my newly uploaded combos in *#9900# logs and also in UE Menu *#*#27663368378#*#* Protocol state - AS info - LTE PRUNE CA COMBOS page they are there but looks like my phone is not really using them. I have an old Samsung S10e Exynos as well and it always gets LTE 3xCA if I check *#0011# code while my Note 20 Ultra 9860 Snapdragon only connects to LTE 2xCA sometimes and doesn't use ULCA. It's weird and I thought maybe someone here knows where we can read more about it or where to dig in the modem or firmware together?

Would you guys be able to post your prune_ca_combo files from different firmwares of different 986x phones you have? You need QPST for that.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] a43:
that's good to know how to activate it then. You were saying "I can get you CA up to 3dl and carrier features by modification of the sx55 fusion modem file." would you mind briefly explain that a bit more? I only get 2dl CA if I remove prune_ca_combos files.

P. S. I have only 3 or 4 Chinese MCFG. How did you get 18? By copying them from 968U to 9860? I need those files...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mdyche82:
I also had another thought, what if I make my 9860 configure like 986u1 via board name and such. Anyone tried that. Going from c2q to c2qxxx. It's thought. I'm going try later. I got no data back from the place that I sent my 970 Evo pro too. Said it was complete loss. Thanks again samsung. I had all my work saved on there. @maksim, I'm doing same thing. Mixing and matching various firmwares. I did speak to hk samsung rep and he said there is no plan to turn on 9860 esim. Said that's why it's dual and I kept pressing about why make us chose 2 numbers or SD card and that other versions of their phones support it. And got hung up on. Such great customer service.
