I even did a hard reset but all went in vain. I am worring that finally am i stuck with a brick.

Please Guys help me to configure this phone for TATA

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Noisedex:
Recently my phone (A520F) started rebboting itself, i didnt think much of it until one day i left it charging and i came back to seeing my phone on Download Mode. I tried getting out of it but it brings me right back to it. When i charge it, download mode. When i turn it on, download mode. I believe the ROM got damaged or something inside. I tried flashing it with odin using the Home CSC so i wouldn't lose important data, but when i tried to start it a error came saying that there was no PIT Partition.

Is there a way to install the PIT Partition without formatting my device? Because i heard you needed to. Or anyway i can get my data out? It's been a week since i cant access my data and im pretty worried.

Sorry if this isnt the right place to ask, first time ever using this platform.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] LR7875:
Do you have a PIT file selected in the Odin from the stock ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Noisedex:
Sorry for the late reply.

I do not have a PIT file selected, because im afraid that if i do select the PIT File correctly, and it flashes, it will format my device. I heard it somewhere, though i dont remember where.

I do have one ready for use.

Thank you so much in advance.

Looking for possible work arounds no way I'm buying a $1700. phone with Dual and eSIM disabled.

Done carrying around 2 phones

Wouldn't buying an international version be a solid option or would the US carriers still not support or disable the option ?

Galaxy Z Fold 3 has two physical SIM slots and an eSIM (but not in the US)

https://www.sammobile.com/news/galaxy-z-fold-3-two-sim-slots-and-esim/

​

Samsung's Z Flip 3, Z Fold 3 Are Both Single-SIM in the US​

https://www.pcmag.com/news/samsungs-z-flip-3-z-fold-3-are-both-single-sim-in-the-us​
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] mbze430:
yeha I am totally bummed out again. I have a S21 thinking I was able to use eSIM in the US...still nothing. Now that I am getting the Fold 3... it's going to be same.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Limeybastard:
Samscum. Go ahead blame the carriers. I dare you, I double dare you.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] gkarkala:
Wondering whether we can flash EU or south american ROM on our us U our U1 model, as all fold 3 models come with snapdragon processor now? This is how I was able to get esim on US unlocked Note20 ultra U1 by flashing T-Mobile ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Markeee:
Thats a good question Is eSIM still working on it ?

I don't see much up to date rom action in the note 20 ultra development forums no official LineageOS maybe better off just waiting for the Pixel Fold ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Fatmonk8:
I mean, I'm not disagreeing that Sammy is not partly to blame here, but T-Mobile did make the call to unlock esim on the Note 20 even after samsung refused to give esim to even unlocked models. So I do think carriers have some say in the matter as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ycats:
I ordered the T-mobile version of the device through Samsung........assuming it will come with T-mobile SIM card, what do I do to activate, just put in the SIM and go online to T-mobile to activate the device?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] mbze430:
I hate NA! I wish we have eSIM. I really do need two lines on my primary
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Arr6:
I noticed there are sim pins on top and bottom when I was inserting my sim. The tray is single, but looks like it has the hardware for 2 sims.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ycats:
So which one do you use?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] poincare:
Hello. It it known if there are any NA carriers that support eSim for Fold3 owners?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Drnms:
I dont get it . do you have any image please?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Drnms:
View attachment 5395889
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Drnms:
Why does it say “SIM 1” if there is only one SIM. My guess is that there is an esim but de-activated that is why the physical sim is named that way.

also on the back of the sim tray , looks like another sim card can fit. I am yet to get my fold3, but anyone with fold3 can see if a sim card sits on the back of the tray as well (PLEASE DONT INSERT IT IN THE PHONE )
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] uicnren:
it does not.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Markeee:
Can someone post a picture of the dual sim tray from the international version ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] AmyClaraRose:
Same as us one except sim slot both sides
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Arr6:
Look inside the sim tray opening with a light, you see gold contacts for sim card on top and bottom. Assuming or sim 1 and 2
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Drnms:
so theoretically if we get a UK version sim tray , it should be easier to try and see if the dual nano sim work.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Drnms:
and then the question is can we flash the UK/EUROPEAN FIRMWARe to the US phone given that the hardwares are exactly the same (other than the LTE, BANDS ACCESS MODULE)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Markeee:
Here's a Fold 3 disassembly video showing the Sim card hardware removal. Unfortunately to me it don't help much to show if its actually a dual or single sim reader
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] sunnyo_ola:
I believe that update will enable esim for US fold3 in future.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Markeee:
I wouldn't believe that for a min just look at Samsung's past actions with the Fold 2 and S21
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] sunnyo_ola:
Well, they did that with note 20 ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Markeee:
Waiting for Samsung to maybe enable it after they already disabled it is not a good idea odds are its never going to happen same as the last years Fold and this years S21.

I'm not playing that game

I would never buy an $1800 phone with Dual and eSIM disabled and no way I'm carrying around 2 phones going forward on my next phone upgrade

At this point I'm looking towards the upcoming Pixel fold or Pixel 6
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] sunnyo_ola:
I

I agree with you.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] skriefal:
Only for the T-Mobile branded version.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] chompx2:
I discovered that there are 2 IMEI numbers on the Flip 3 box. There were IMEI1 and IMEI2. This leaves me to believe the US version of the Flip 3 is physically identical to the International version. The difference is probably software.

I contacted Samsung’s costumer support and inquired about the eSIM on Flip 3. Customer Support said this is not a feature that US version is provisioned for. Not willing to give up, I pointed out that the box lists 2 IMEI numbers. I asked if this is something that could be fixed with a software. The customer support said Samsung would be sending out an update to fix this when ready. I am not sure if I was given an answer just to get rid of me. Since the international version has eSIM function so, this is not a technical issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Markeee:
Don't hold your breath they kept people hanging with S21 and Fold 2 with alot of the same promises and lies and still haven't enabled anything . I've read actual stories of class action suits and people suing Samsung and getting refunds over it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] mbze430:
although the hardware pins might be there, but I am 99.99% positive that the firmware disable the use of the SIM2 slot for NA. Just like they disable the eSIM in NA.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] sweetboy02125:
Only Tmobile
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Slicc98:
So you have dual SIM + ESIM?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] gkarkala:
In Note 20 Ultra with TMobile firmware, I have one physical SIM and one eSIM.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] kms108:
is it possible to enable the esim by flashing a new F/W from a enable version phone, like the taiwan model.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] jemfalor:
yes it is possible. the only problem now is there is a vault check or whatever check in the phone preventing variant firmware flashing
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] kms108:
thanks for the reply.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Jake.S:
I will be posting of my Sim tray since I got international one and my sim tray has SIM 1 and SIM 2. But on each side
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] cpufrost:
When you think about it, when you're carrying a fold you are in fact carrying two phones! Dual IEMI should be standard. It would be funny to have a way to have a dialer on each screen, you know because you can. ;-)

As far as ESIM support in USA, Apple has had this supported since 2018. I've used it since then with TMO on a physical SIM and VZW on the esim. Lot of frustration early on as the carrier associates didn't have training and understand the process of adding a plan (number) to an ESIM but now it's as easy as a simple call from a number that you are NOT adding! I've used Exynos versions of S9+ et-al that have a dual SIM tray and it worked fine but VZW doesn't work with those. AT&T and TMO no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] King-ish:
Looks like they are finally enabling it on the S21 Ultra the day I'm shipping mine to Samsung for trade-in on my Fold 3. Hopefully, they'll release it on the Fold 3 soon.

Galaxy S21 Ultra finally gets eSIM support, but there's a catch

You'll need to download the latest beta of Samsung's One UI to activate your Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra eSIM with a compatible carrier.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Markeee:
They talk about it here on Reddit

Samsung OneUi beta on the S21 ultra adds esim support!!!!!

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS21/comments/po25h5
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] bogdi1988:
Confirming that it has dual sim contact points in the socket at least. You can clearly see all the pins when you pull the SIM tray out.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Jerky_san:
Has anyone been able to get their hands on a dual sim tray for a single sim phone and see if the firmware is indeed locked down? Would be great if it turns out you just need a dual sim tray.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Markeee:
Seems One UI 4 Beta unlocks eSIM support on the U.S. Galaxy S21 which is pretty big news.​

Can anyone confirm if its also working on other phones like the fold ?​

Samsung's One UI 4 Beta unlocks eSIM support on the U.S. Galaxy S21

The first One UI 4 Beta release is here, and it unlocks eSIM support on the Galaxy S21, S21+, and S21 Ultra in North America.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] adika9:
Any updates on dual sim or esim activation?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] jemfalor:
dual sim physically impossible.

esim possible after bootloader unlock but for u models, no solution to bootloader unlock as of yet
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] bogdi1988:
Physically why? The sim connector has pins for both sides.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] jemfalor:
you have a photo of the two sided pins?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] bogdi1988:
Look into the sim slot and you'll see pins on both sides
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Arr6:
In this case it seems the EU models with dual sim is the better buy without compromise (such as exynos)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Arr6:
Shine a light where the sim tray goes, youll see pins on top and bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] golalmo:
Model F926B/DS has dual sim and esim enabled. That's both side of my sim tray.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Zerobim08:
Just wondering whether the hardware to support dual physical sim is there already. I had a dual sim version and there is only one tray. You place both sims stacked with one sim circuit side face upward the other downward.

For the NA version how is the sim placement?

Edit: see above
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] XATAGuy:
I just need to know if an unlocked, dual-SIM UK variant (SM-F926B/DS), will be fully functional on the AT&T network? Will I get 5G/LTE? Will it update? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] gkarkala:
I used F626B for couple of weeks before sending it to my family in India. Here in US with AT&T, LTE worked flawlessly but could not get 5G to work. This is in SF bay area. It does not have all the 5G bands.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] agetupside:
I ordered my galaxy z fold 3 5g on US Samsung website and use T-mobile sim card. The model number is SM-F926U1. it is unlocked. I am planning to travel aboard in this December, so, I called T-mobile to see if eSim is an option yet. T-mobile's service was pretty good and they tried very hard, even talked to Samsung technical support. After a while, T-mobile came back to me said, I needed to speak to Samsung Technical support, and she could transfer my call, but, I didn't since I was at work. After I had more time at my work, I called Samsung Technical support. I have to say, the support absolutely was horrifying. The girl tried so hard, and after about 20 mins talking, and she said she had to put me on hold, maximum 30 mins. I said ok. I put my phone onside and back to work, AFTER TWO HOURS, I was still on hold. I finally hang up and called back again. A gentleman answered the phone and after about 20 mins, he said to me the eSim in US currently isn't enabled it but the hardware is there, just enabled by firmware. Samsung is still working with the Carriers to solve this and if this is solved, and update will be pushed to users and eSim will be enabled.

I tried to flash couple variant firmware, and none could passed. It failed immediately as soon as I click on Start in Odin.

Here is my thoughts:

I saw couple of posts mentioned the Sim card reader should support dual physical sim. I doubt, because I saw the sim reader has US model number on it from disassembly video, and also there is only one IMEI number on the box or in the phone. I just ordered a dual sim try and if the dual sim try can fit in, I will test two sim cards. Although it might be disabled by firmware, but, I think the signal bar will still show. Right now, even if I don't put physical sim card in my fold 3, the signal bar still shows so I would think that is a proof for eSim as well.

If the current sim reader doesn't support dual physical sim, I wanna try to find a dual sim reader flex and replace the current sim reader. I am just not sure if I replace the sim reader to support dual physical sim, will the current firmware recognize the dual sim or still only one sim will be available?

Any thoughts? Anybody?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Zerobim08:
I'm curious why Samsung cannot just standardized the hardware. Mine has a dual sim (I think most of the world outside north America has the dual SIM support)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Sword Fish:
Because Samsung thinks they can increase their sales by making us carry two phones but we are smarter than that. I have abandoned Samsung because of this and now have a dual SIM phone. Thanks for the push Samsung!!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Markeee:
Which dual sim phone do you have ?

I did had conversations with a few Samsung Techs and was told straight up

The final version of Android 12 ONE UI 4.0 will support eSims on the US Fold 3.

Not that i believe everything Samsung says they been known to string people along telling them eSim was going and it never came but in this case i think the odds of it happening are very high. I just can't see them adding the feature the S21 and not to there top phone the fold 3

What do you think ?

All the dual sim tray phones I've bought in the past (international versions) did in fact accept two physical SIM cards. They also had TWO IMEI numbers on the information label. I don't think this dual sim tray is going to work except SIM one.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Markeee:
Have you ever been able to get a dual sim international version of the fold 3 to run in the US ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] cworrell:
Yes and everything works well 5G and all, but I still have the US model I want to test it on before I sell it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] cpufrost:
Mine are unlocked USA versions that I was told had e-sim support (possible but not getting excited LOL). The "duos" nomenclature of the past was an Exynos thing apparently and to my knowledge there are no Fold 3 phones with Samsung processors. 5G is another thing altogether especially with Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Markeee:
Wow really your like the first confirmed person I've been able to find that actually has a dual sim international working in the US along with 5G

I have a few questions hope you don't mind ?

I'm hoping I can copy what you did for myself

How did you get Sim manager working here in US ?

What network are you running on ?

I'm on Xfinity Mobile which which still runs off old CDMA and need a MEID number does the box have a MEID number on it ?

I just snagged a deal on a 512GB US Samsung unlocked SM-F926U1 off Swappa for $1260 https://swappa.com/listing/view/LVLI62772

I thought for sure One UI 4.0 beta would enable US eSIM like it does on the S21 but so far not happening. Samsung support promises that it will be US enabled in the final UI 4.0 version on the Fold 3
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Markeee:
Samsung support promises that the final UI 4.0 version on the Fold 3 will have US eSIM enabled will see if there not just stringing up along again.

Personally I have a feeling where going to finally get it

just can't see why they would give it to the S21 and not there big shot flagship Fold 3
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] cworrell:
The Mexican Phone is the F926B model and E-SIM works right out of the box. 5G works on both modems. I use T-Mobile and a Mexican Carrier (Telcel). but they cost around $2200 in Mexico, but it's worth having duel sims.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Markeee:
When you say the phone works right out the box you mean it already has Sim manager options working coz the US version doesn't have Sim Manager on it

Also I don't think the F926B model phone is compatible with Xfinity Mobile if you have a chance you can check it on the below link

https://www.xfinity.com/mobile/byod/compatibility/device
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] cworrell:
This is what I received with my IMEI.

Unfortunately, your phone isn’t compatible​

Not all phones are made to work with Xfinity Mobile, but you can still join Xfinity Mobile by trading in your current phone and buying a new one.

The phone has Sim Manager right out of the box, and I can confirm it does work with T-Mobile 5G network. I am guessing with xfinity you would only see 4G.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] WZDISMINE:
Mine from UK its dual sim. Really its very nice.. 5g...

SM-F926B​
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] jeromepearce:
It's the same in Australia, only one sim card slot.

Personally I'm not that bothered because I have a Samsung M30 with dual sim for my two other foreign sim cards. If I manage to become a Malaysian resident too, I'll need 4 sims in all and then dual sim Fold would be useful.

My experience of dual sims is that batteries are hammered by them. It makes sense because two radios have to work at once. The M30 has a great battery and low performance which is perfect for a second phone just as a phone, though. Given the poorish battery performance of the Z Fold 3, I imagine it'll suffer.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Markeee:
Are you running that UK dual sim here in the US or are you in the UK ?

I don't think any of the International versions of the phone will work on Xfinily mobile at all . Xfinity still runs on the old CDMA network and needs a MEID number on the box to be compatible i think

I spoke with Samsung support several times spoke with them again today and asked them straight out. Will the US Fold 3 support eSims on the final version of Android 12 One UI 4.0 ?

Today they said yes defiantly and also said there working on bringing it in with the next update.

I'll believe it when i see it

Esim is not enabled in 4.0 BETA 2
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Markeee:
Your saying there defiantly is no esim manger in the US Fold 3 after updating to beta 2 ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] pattmyn:
Canada doesn't have access to the beta (officially) and since I'm not sure if I'm keeping the device (it's less about the device and more about the carrier) I'm sure as hell not going to hack it in to check up here.

Took a screencap of the OS build info and whatnot and can confirm that I haven't been able to get eSIM functionality working. HOWEVER, Telus included a voucher for one in the box so I played dumb with a CS rep asking what an eSIM was, had it explained to me, and then I asked "So why did my parcel come with both a voucher and a physical SIM?". The reply, and I quote, was "Oh, we include those with any phones shipped out that are capable of making use of it but do keep the physical SIM included for those who have shareable data plans".

So unless Jean-Guy at the shipping depot screwed up and the rep was also brain dead about the process, something tells me that there's a bit more to this.

You are right. Just received OTA update, and no sim card manger in settings, and all is the same as previous oneui 3.0 or 4.0 beta 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] agetupside:
