Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ flashing - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

Hi All,
Can i flash my USA Tmobile Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ SM-N975U (USA) with SM-N975F/DS (Global) to activate dual sim functionality on my USA TMO phone?
As far as i know i need to replace the sim tray after flasing the phone with global rom to get second sim working as default sim tray doesnt allow you to fit second sim on the tray.Any thoughts on this?

No. They are two different devices. Even if you managed to flash F/DS firmware to your U, you would just end up with am $1100 brick.
And there's no way to "activate" the second SIM. It's not present in the U devices. Again, even if it were, there's no IMEI for it, so it would be useless.

[Q] Unlock carriers

Hi!
I am new to posting on xda.
I have a Sprint Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 and I am in Italy.
Now I have Three UK SIM card that I want use it with my device.
The Sprint network is CDMA and Three is GSM, right?
What can I do for use my tablet with 3G?
I've read in the forum, but I need a solution.
Thanks:fingers-crossed:
Please post the model of the tablet, and the carrier you wish to change it to.
Thanks.
Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 I want to use it three. My sim is three UK thanks
You cant use that tablet on europe at all, no CDMA carriers there, you need the ATT version and pay 19usd to unlock it.
THERE is NO way to get it working, the SIM slot on the sprint tablet is just for Sh1ts N Giggles..

Dual SIM tray

Hey I see that you can use a dual SIM card tray... Where do you get them from ?
Thank you
Edit I have 5g version if that matters
Update - I have UK on ee 5g pro but SIM tray will only take one SIM it's not double sided.
i bought one from ebay
just search for oneplus 7 pro sim tray
I don't think the 5g model will take 2 sims. (Noticed your 2nd post so you presumably already know this )
I don't know if the 5g is dual SIM how can I find out? It has no settings in UI for a 2nd SIM
Anyone know if the 5g version is dual SIM... Two different people say two different things.
Regards
has anyone checked this out for the 5G version yet? might just order one and try it.
The 5G model can do dual-SIM, but you will lose 5G. You literally would have to flash it do a different firmware to achieve this or hope for someone to create a ROM with the 5G firmware that enables dual-SIM. The hardware is capable of dual-SIM, it's just disabled in the 5G firmware.
eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-Du...var=522291973382&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Due to arrive in 7 to 10 days.
Update: it works perfectly!
How did you get.it to work

SM-N976V CSC Change to work with Verizon MVNO?

I purchased a Verizon Galaxy Note 10+ 5g from ebay last year to use for Total Wireless. Well the phone wasnt compatible with Total Wireless at the time and I had to switch to Verizon prepaid. Now the phone is compatible but I cant add APN's to the device because Verizon has greyed out the option. I bought a US Mobile Sim card so I can switch all of our phones over since it is cheaper and is a Verizon MVNO, but I cant get everything to work on my note 10+ 5g. I was able to download an app that let me add APN's and the LTE comes up but now I cant get VoLTE to work. Its turned on but when I make a phone call, it switches to 1x. This is a problem since Verizon is doing away with their CDMA Network. I have spoken to Verizon, US Mobile, and Samsung with no help. My other Note 8 will work just fine when I put the US Mobile Sim card in and my Samsung a71 5g wont work at all and wont let me add APN's even with the app.
I have been doing research and found out about SamKEY and bought some credits to change the CSC from VZW to XAA. I was in the process and it gave a warning about locking the SEC so I decided to do more research before I screwed something up.
The phone is unlocked but for some reason, Verizon phones have these issues with a Verizon MVNO. I can add the TMO sim card from US Mobile and it will allow me to edit the APN's without an issue but I get zero coverage here so I cant use it. So how can I change the CSC to get VoLTE working on a Verizon MVNO? Or can I even change the CSC on this phone? I am so sick of Verizon phones but Im afraid to buy an unlocked phone since It doesnt support all of Verizon's bands.

IDK about unlocking an US device. I prefer unlocked devices.
US unlocked versions of Samsung devices are called "U1". It's part of the model number/name.
E.g. SM-G981U is the US locked Samsung Galaxy S20 5g (like for Verizon), and the SM-G981U1 is the US unlocked version of the same device.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up selling the phone and buying a Google Pixel 4 XL. Saved some money and its unlocked. Ill never buy another Verizon Edition of the phone again.

Using Samsung Galaxy S8/S9 in USA (Verizon firmware) with an AT&T MVNO (UNREAL) after 3g shutdown

I have searched for hours without any luck. I have been with an AT&T MVNO (Unreal mobile) for two years. During the 3g shutdown I was unable to use VOLTE on my S8 (VERIZON FIRMWARE). I found out the only way to use my S8 on UNREAL was to have AT&T firmware. I spent countless hours trying to flash ATT firware onto the Verizon S8, but I was unable to do it by flashing, but I found another way. I put a TMOBILE SIM in my S8 and it automatically loaded the TMOBILE firmware. Once the S8 was booted up I was able to run a USSD code (*#272*IMEI#) through the dialer which allowed me to switch to ATT firmware! Problem solved!!!! But a few months later my S8 was lost and I got a S9 (Verizon Firmware). I tried the same method as I used on the S8, but it doesn't work. When I put a T-mobile sim in the S9 it does not automatically change the firmware like the S8 did. From the Verizon dialer on both the S8 and the S9 it will NOT ALLOW USSD codes. Does anyone know if there is a way to run the USSD code (*#272*IMEI#) on the Verizon S9? Does anyone know why the Verizon S9 doesn't automatically change to T-Mobile after inserting a T-Mobile sim? Are there any other sims I can insert in the S9 to change the Verizon firmware in order to run USSD codes? Flashing my S9 is not an option for me because I must be too stupid. Anyhow thanks for your help!!!!
Seem's you+I have similar problem! I have s9 verizon unlocked,but I am with consumer cellular. They went to 4g recently now no call or recieve call! They gave me new sim, still not working! Told me shorter mobile wavelength from tower's! Last update on this phone was 2018? Won't update normal procedure! Wondering since this is U.S.A version if any way to update to 4 g? I'm fine on micro-soldering but when it come's to tech,a little to old I guess!!Lol Any help appreciated!

In my case I had a Verizon unlocked s9 and it turns out Verizon has bloatware that prevents many MVNO's from using VolTE. After tons of research the only solution I found was using patched ODIN to flash unbranded stock firmware in order to chance my model from a U model to a a U1 model. Now the phone works perfectly. Someone should file a lawsuit against Verizon (and ATT) for circumventing federal law on unlocked phones (technically they are unlocked but you can't use them because of their bloatware). It really is a major scam.

Question Le2125 dual sim

Like title says, can I put a dual sim tray in my 9 pro north american LE2125 to get dual sim?

Hi, I have an dual sim card tray in my unlocked NA model, the same model you are referring to. i bought it (dual sim tray)off of Amazon from a link someone posted quite a while back when android 12 was first coming out. There was a thread here with the info at the time. I haven't ever got to use the other sim because at the time they had a few uncertainties. I'm still on a android 11 based custom ROM.

It is? Strange, my sim tray is only a single sim, my ROMs only show 1 sim number. And yes, my phone model IS LE2125 and not the T-Mobile version. I have used the LE2125 msm numerous times and global OOS and never had issues with modem/base bands and stuff so my model is the north american global unlocked

is your device perhaps a telecom device (telecom devices are only single sim) which has been flashed to a global device?

No, even if it WAS flashed to global, I would have to use the T-Mobile msm, which I don't need or use. Also, don't have radio issues using custom ROMs like T-Mobile users have.

No, LE2115 and LE2125 are both single SIM. In fact the T-Mobile LE2127 is a dual SIM device, one of the reasons people were buying it, but it's totally unstable, as it ships with a single SIM tray and the second is disabled.
I received a couple days ago from Amazon my order for OnePlus 9 Pro 5G LE2123 Dual SIM 12GB+256GB EU/UK Model Global ROM Factory Unlocked International Version. After setting it up and done migrating all my files from my OnePlus 8 Pro Model IN 2025 Dual Sim, I am surprised to see that the item I received is the Model LE2125 which is confirmed Dual Sim.
My previous research all said that Model LE2125 is only Single SIM, but here is my newly delivered Model LE2125 and it is indeed Dual SIM and both SIM cards are confirmed working. Can anyone enlighten or confirm that LE2125 is actually not Single SIM?
My primary TMobile card on Sim 1 is working fine and picking up 5G, while my secondary international roaming card on Sim 2 is also working.
Your feedback and input will be appreciated. Thank you much.

So, LE2125 is single sim ONLY. I know because I bought a dual sim tray and put 2 active T-Mobile sims in it and only 1 showed up.
But mine is LE2125 and I was surprised to see that it is in fact DUAL SIM, with dual sim tray and both sim cards are working (I put in my primary US T-Mobile sim in tray 1 and my international roaming sim card in tray 2). I bought the device from Amazon Marketplace used or refurbished.
Please see the 3 screenshots I posted showing the ModeLE2125 with 2 Sims and 2 IMEIs in device settings.

I think your software may be LE2125 but its either T-Mobile hardware or EU hardware.
Thank you for your kind observation. But all I can say is that this LE2125 is DUAL SIM with dual sim tray with 2 sim cards working (even my international roaming sim card on sim 2 receives my multiple test sms mesages sent from my US Tmobile number). So, as a hardware this LE2125 is working fine. As far as its sotware is concerned, it's already beyond me how it got into the device.
Thank you anyway for your input.

What I am meaning is, you phone might actually be LE2123 or LE2127 with north American OOS showing LE2125. Software is not hardware specific. Some ROMs will change your model number
Thank you so much for this info, that software is not hardware specific. This info is very new to me as I thought all along that frequency bands on a device is dictated by the physical hardware itself and not assigned via mere software configuration.

It's not the bands that are being spoken of, it's the hardware model shown in the settings. If you have a full conversion device, it's possible to convert from, say, LE2127 T-Mobile to show LE2125 US unlocked instead.
This is likely what happened because T-Mobile devices sell for cheap because nobody wants to deal with the headaches from them.
Thank you for this valuable information. I thought specific device models made for let's say, Europe, China, US have the radio hardware baked in with specific 5G or 4G LTE bands that work in specific regional markets.

They DO have this. Changing your model number with software won't change the bands that are supported, it just can change the model number (which is incredibly stupid as it makes it easy for people to sell a phone as something that it's not).
Wow, thank you again. Yes, it looks like it borders on deceitful practice although it is not illegal.
if u wanna be absolutely sure which model u're getting, check the IMEI number against online database.
it will show u exact model.

I have LE2125, & i can confirm that it's a single sim device.
though i always if there's any way to make dual sim work in this model.
