European version to North-America - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I bought an european version of the Oneplus 3 in june, it works perfectly fine in France. But in next January, i go to Canada for work and live, and my european version seems doesn' work on network frequency used in Quebec(CAD), so my question is : is it possible to turn my OnePlus 3 in a North America Model (with mod) ? or i need to sell mine et re-buy a brand new phone ?
Thanks in advance

or just add some Band for LTE ?

I have done some research on this topic (used Google ). There are snapdragon based phones for which people could load a different software for the modem which used the bands they needed.

Quick Replies :
1, No, you can still flash any stock rom for any country.
2. As long as the Note will not be locked to a specific carrier you will be able to use the 3G in your country..

Hi all,
I need to know the availability of the Xperia M5 Dual SiM in France (Model E5633), because in France 4G LTE use currently 800 Mhz / 1800 Mhz / 2600 Mhz bands. As i can seee, only the model E5633 hold 800 Mhz 4G band.
Others model use 850 Mhz band instead 800. It depend of the country area.
Thanks for your reply.
Available here in Finland. And while I'm somehow interested about this phone, I'd like to know if we already know if those serious problems which almost
all M5-users seem to have are only software-based(so they can be cured with updates) or from hardware, and that would mean that M5 is doomed.

Actually theres a hardware problem. The battery causes the phone to die. Check this
Just got my M5 dual sim variant last week in South Africa.
The single sim version became available in Greece. Don't know if the auto shut down problem is fixed. I assume it is. Waiting for the dual sim version...

I got my dual sim variant in January and havent experienced the auto shutdown problem. There has been one big update since I got it, so I reckon its been fixed.
I have a dual sim version bought in France. For the moment, I also never experienced the auto shut down problem.
M5 single sim 5606 in Argentina

Will new firmware solve LTE compatibility Galaxy Watch US-->International

Hi,
Two week ago I've ordered from Amazon US The Galaxy watch 42mm LTE version (4G LTE SM-R815UZKAXAR)
Yesturday I've noticed that the LTE bands in my country (ISRAEL) are different from the one specified on the watch US spec (Only Band 5 [850]) are supported on both the US and my country - all other bands are different).
1. Will one band only support (B5, 850) be enough to get all data & voice functionality ?
1. Is this a firmware issue only, or different zone Samsung watch have different hardware as well ?
2. Any link for an international firmware that would open other bands as well ?
Thanks a lot,
G.

SM-G988N CSC bypass for UK location?

Hi everyone,
I got a S20 Ultra (Korean version) as it was one of the few with Snapdragon to work on UK bands but I am struggling to trick the phone to show me content in english on native apps (Samsung Daily, Weather, Members app...).
Don't get me wrong, the initial content is in english but once you try and get more info, about the weather for example, it takes me to a korean website. Members is in Korean all around and daily has Korean cards inside.
Which I think is normal due to the Korean CSC.
I changed the CSC from SKT to KOO but it only removed the network branding and default carrier apps.
Is there a way to bypass the CSC or install an English CSC from UK for example?
did you find how to change it ?
Also have the same issue. I am in Australia. I was thinking about installing australian firmware?
I have an SM-G9860, which is the Hong Kong S20+, and live in Romania. Anyway, I'm pretty much in the same boat as you, having the TGY csc instead of ROM or ORO. Samsung Weather sends me to samsung internet to accuweather.com, which is just what my old exynos s10+ would do, and samsung daily seems about normal, with only the spotify recommendations card showing something in chinese. On the other hand, Samsung Members, which had been acting like I was living in Hong Kong (showing me the offers from there and so on), has, since a few days ago, started showing me content from Romania. Upon randomly launching it last week, it gave me a message as such: "App might reset due to regional settings change" or something like that. My csc is still TGY and samsung pay for instance still is the hk variant. Other than that everything is pretty normal.
Thats why I was asking if its possible to dowbload firmware for the Australian version of the S20 Ultra which is not snapdragon (the reason I bought Korean version because it is snapdragon). Will things still function as normal if I put on Australian firmware that is designed for a korean phone? Sammobile has the firmware for all countries spec phones.

No. Quite simply put: You can only flash Firmware intended for that specific handset.
For example: I own the SM-G9880, which is the (snapdragon 865) Asian version of the S20 Ultra 5G.
I can only flash three firmwares: TGY (Hongkong), BRI (Taiwan) and CHC (China "open"). NO other firmware. Certainly not, say, the EU Firmware, which is for another CPU entirely (Exynos 990)

Thanks Roman. For example I cant use Samsung Pay because it says 'cards must be from Korea'. And a few other things of that nature.
Firmware of a US s20 Ultra running Snapdragon chipset wouldn't work either?

The same way I can't use it because I'd need a card from Hong Kong, but I just use GPay instead, works like a charm. Nope, nothing, I'm afraid. You can only flash the Firmware intended for that specific model number. I am in a slightly different conundrum - I got the SM-G9880, and I'm using it in Europe. While LTE and 5G bands are similar, they aren't identical. LTE, it's barely noticeable, since 1,3,7 and multiple others are supported, 1,3 and 7 work in 4x4 MIMO and the most important Carrier Aggregation Combos like 7-3-3-1 (12) work too. Only thing I don't have is CA with Band 20 (only supported in single mode) and on the LTE side that's basically it - I even have 28-7-3-1. However, 5G wise, different story. Only Bands I got for the EU are N1 and N78, which luckily is exactly what my carrier uses, but there might be N3 and N28 down the road like in other EU countries so it'd be nice to have that...

Question SM-F936B/DS not having 5g support in Europe (estonia)

So like the title says, i dont have 5g in mt 2k€ phone, what gives? is samsung lazy with the firmware updates? or is the international unlocked phone actually hacing some locked bands? any way to unlock n75/n77 bands? i tried my sim in my australian netgear m6 pro in estonia in my location and it works perfeclty, other phones, older samsungs also work fine, but fold 4 just doesnt seem to find anything, besides competing isp tower and saying unknown frequency and 5g sa, if im not mistaken the int fold 4 should have everything? sa, nsa, all bands, etc? no? anyways maybe someone has a solution for me what firmware to flash or what to do, i rma'd my phone but i am 99.9% sure that samsung validated "repair" center wont be able to do anything like that as i have had different issues with different samsung phones before and they wont flash you anything than baltics firmware
Fold4 has 5g and it's working perfectly no need a firmware update. Witch csc are you using ? Witch firmware ? Did you check and search your provider in settings ? 5g/4g/3g/2g is selected ?
I'm not living in a big city in France and have great signal
5G from Orange Flex (Poland) works perfectly.
The same model. No issues. 5G is ok in Germany.
Same here. Latvia, 5G works fine.
the issue is in the firmware side, one of the operators doesnt work, every other operator 5g works, already got samsungs answer that they are working on a fix for it
