You seem to be confused. You stated "the bootloader can be unlocked which would be quite surprising since this device carry's the snapdragon chipset which is used in US/CA models and is not able to have the bootloader unlocked". Just because the SoC is a Snapdragon doesn't mean the bootloader can't be unlocked, they've been making them for years. I own the Snapdragon device with an unlocked bootloader. So if you know how to check if you can unlock the bootloader why ask anyone else if it's possible? Don't be surprised if you can't flash different firmware, SM-R908N is an outlier but it can utilize Custom ROM's.

Your warranty is now void. If you root your device, Your KNOX status will be tripped. You can still pass the safety net after you root if you follow the instructions. Sorry for USA models, you can't root unless you can unlock your bootloader You...

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pcriz:
I'm pretty sure op knows how to check and knows the price difference since they mentioned it. They are asking someone that actually has the device to confirm
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pcriz:
I will confirm that the Korean snapdragon note 20 ultra could be unlocked.

Rom support was slim though. Most did not explicitly mention the N model and since more people in the world are unlocked on exynos, most of the support was for that chipset.

Also the fact that snapdragons are locked in NA is because of the region not the chip it self. Other regions with them aren't bootloader locked.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
OP would be better served if he/she included a Model Number. The specific properties are the same regardless. As everyone is aware price fluctuates depending on the seller.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pcriz:
Op isn't asking about the price though. Who knows where they are buying from.

Also the Korean models typically only have one model number. I think the same is true this year as well.

I figured the best person to answer their question is someone that probably knows they have a Korean model or someone with first hand experience with the Korean model.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] donkeyman1234:
Are you sure Korean model comes with SM-S9080?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Solace50:
Accuracy is not releveant but the firmware was on a few places listed as Korean model.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Solace50:
The SM-9080 is the model number... If I bought and received something other than the device listed it would be of no charge according to provincial law. The 909B is also an option which is the EU enyox model or 908W Canadian Snap dragon. The 908W cannot be unlocked however the root/bootloader unlock specifies 0 in the title which I'm assuming is the suffix to 908 and possible.

Snapdragon and bootloader unlock would be the best of both worlds as performance is better and does not suffer from idle drain issues. The cost is also about 20% cheaper on sale.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Solace50:
I'm, just going to yolo one one see what happens. Worse case is I might need to update the CSC, the modems firmware should support the same frequencies to be "international/global" The s8+ I have was the int version and worked just fine.

Some rated specs do differ ever so slightly between the EU and NA model such as the post processing used for images and throughput for the NIC used onboard but is negligible.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Solace50:
Thanks, generally MFG do not deviate from designs much due to costs involved. If SN by design was bootloader locked one would expect variants to be the same. I think Korea had enyox models in the past too.

The site used was pda plaza (google it) which lists various models and if you are buying new is usually cheaper than vendors, amazon and other places. I saw a 512gb ultra as low as 1500 for the ugly green. Considering we get ****ty perks for buying a phone new it does not make sense to buy from samsung.com unless you want sky blue or something.

Also I'm unsure as to why you linked the store pages, retailers listing unlocked is carrier specific, not bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Solace50:
Oop, sorry all the 9080 is China, 908N is Korea, editing main post.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G - Full phone specifications

www.gsmarena.com

Same as in HongKong, I would just flash their firmware, likely better overall.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CyberEvo:
I am in Taiwan, for your reference.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
I linked the Samsung websites so you could compare official Samsung pricing. As stated there are many different retailers with various offers. I also asked for the model number knowing the SM-9080 isn't available in Korea which you've since updated. The S21 Ultra in Korea is the Exynos variant which only lasted 1 year, they've now reverted back to Snapdragon. Of the 3 SM-9080's available I would recommend the Hong Kong (CSC - TGY) but if call features are a priority the Taiwan variant (CSC - BRI) is the best option. Stay away from the China variant, it's a mess. Plus one should always ask a retailer which CSC they are offering, they don't always sell the same variant for the region they are based. You could purchase a China variant from a Taiwan retailer but you won't know it until it's in your hands. Yes, they will mislead and lie just to make a sale. Firmware for the 3 variants are interchangeable however it's usually not a good idea to swap, firmware is Home CSC specific and the Home CSC can't be altered plus that will affect updates as well. All 3 are bootloader unlocked however there aren't many Custom ROM's for Snapdragon devices. Goods luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Solace50:
The hardware is the same as HK, only the firmware differs and can be flashed. The recommendation makes zero sense. Call features are CSC based and I doubt much differs across the globe these days especially for major regions. That would be false that you cannot change the CSC, the whole aspect of root/unlocked bootloader is to modify system/firmware partitions or flashing with odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
What do you mean it makes no sense? I've stated if you want call features buy your regions (CSC) device. I never said your CSC couldn't be changed, I've stated your Home CSC can't be changed. Have fun trying to figure everything out, we're done.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Solace50:
For those who also may care, I took the time to actually research things before speculating nonsense.

So the primary difference between the models is 5G support as apparently the 5Ghz bands are not supported in the firmware for the 9080. Given the 9080 can be bootloader unlocked it is a similar situation to the Galaxy S4 release across US/CA where you could buy the US model and flash a Canadian modem in order to gain support for carriers in CA. Likely the same can be provided for 5G support with a few hex edits to the existing modem or flashing one from another region considering the same hardware is used, however this would still need to be tested.

This would ultimately save people hundreds of $ along with providing the SN variant bootloader unlocked to various individuals and not end up being a slave to bloatware and poorly designed roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Solace50:
Thank you for the most useful post in the thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CyberEvo:
You're welcome, glad to be useful.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Solace50:
If you did or plan to unlock the BL you could be a guinea pig and test flashing the S908W modem via odin to see if there would be any work needed to be done. Odds are its a straight flash given the identical hardware. Worse that could occur is just no flash due to an integrity check or if your specific carrier lost a a feature you can just re-flash the current OEM rom or modem by itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] p.dixon0:
Can also confirm, S9080 on TGY has unlockable bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Solace50:
Can confirm as well, I just yolo the purchase, will be validating the 5Ghz bands in the stock firmware and attempting to tinker with at a later date. Overall the phone is impressive.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] p.dixon0:
I'll be really interested in your findings Solace50 👍 I'm yet to see the 5G icon on my phone but the 4G+ speed is massively impressive as it is, way faster than I've ever saw on my Note 9 on 4G+. These have the n78 (3500) band so they 'should' work on 5G here in the UK?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Solace50:
The hardware supports the bands, this is related to the chipset in place which has the support as it is enabled in US/CAN

The firmware (modem) appears to be lacking the support according to the site I linked earlier. I went ahead with the buy knowing I would not be leveraging 5ghz anytime soon (Koodo lacks 5g and 4g is plenty) and honestly China could roll out 5G in the future and update firmware would support the bands. See link for details,

In this page we are going to show you the compatibility of Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with the mobile networks of Canada and with the telephony operators that provide service in Canada.

Initial tinkering will be checking systools in the phone to see if a simple switch can be toggled (unlikely these days), followed by flashing a US/CAN modem to the device later or editing the current firmware to enable the bands as some others have done for the S4 in the past between US/CAN models.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] p.dixon0:
Ah very sorry, I didn't realise you were based in Canada 👍 You certainly sound like you know what you're doing so hopefully it's something relatively simple that you can do to get it working correctly for you 🤞

From my point of view in the UK, all of our carriers use the n78 (3500) band so I'm hoping this phone will pick up 5G correctly, although if not it's no biggie as 4G+ is plenty quick enough.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] crazyut:
I have the W series here in Canada using on Telus. I saw the blurb above about flashing the W modem on to another firmware.

I know I can do the following:

Flash u1 for BL, AP, CP and then W for HOME_CSC and have u1 model number but the software update generates "registration failed"

Does anyone know if I can flash u1 for BL, AP, CSC (which will wipe the device) and W for CP (modem) and have the software update work (assuming the phone boots with no issues)?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Solace50:
For those who are curious the variant purchased does support 5G in NA however it only supports the newer band and not the older ones which is more widely deployed in China. I've only seen 5G in one particular area in Vancouver and that was very recent. The US modem likely has wider coverage on the other bands.

I'm sure I could go flash the US modem however it is possible it would trip knox and I see little benefit in checking this.

If there is anyone else that wanted to try on their device they are more than happy to get in touch.

Hi

Whenever I try to connect the phone to my computer using USB, it simply gives the 'connected usb device' sound and after that nothing, it says the device cannot be recognized or, on a very rare occasion.. It works (2 times in the past 2 months). I tried numerous things, but nothing seems to work.. I just want it to show up as a Diskdrive, nothing more. I run Windows Vista Ultimate x64.

I just tried connecting to another computer with Windows XP. Without any problems, it recognized and installed it in a few seconds. So there's nothing wrong with the device itself or the cable.

Thanks in advance

I then tried installing twrp as per (https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-how-to-flash-twrp-on-the-xperia-5-ii.4188419/).

Just incase.

Actually you can format it before flash the rom. for example run

1. fastboot reboot bootloader

2. fastboot -w

3. fastboot reboot bootloader

then continue with flash.bat

sometimes if you use hardware to boot to bootloader, it's cause problem
