Hello Xperia users! In the meantime, I finally solved the VOLTE problem! I approached Qualcomm's diagnostic port-active-efsExplorer and solved the problem by inserting a VOLTE profile from my carrier
Sorry, this is Korea and I am Korean.
However, I will write down the method in English.
Unlike previous 1&5, Qualcomm's diagnostic port cannot be opened.
opening command
I don't even know. I don't think so.
So it's a little different from before.
I tried to force it open.
debugging connection
Open the Command Proposal window.
adb shell input
su input
Do you want to allow shell on your phone?
prompt acceptance of permission
Then the $ shape changes to #.
Now
setprop persist.usb.eng 1
Copy paste entry. Please enter
And you're gonna be out there during tethering.
In My Computer Item
View Device Manager.
Please turn debugging back on.
Of course, no access.
If you turn on debugging again,
I've already set it up, so it looks like that.
Among them, there is a product model named XQ-AT52.
There are four yellow exclamation points in total.
Manually update driver Press [port] to list the manufacturers
It's called Qualcomm hs-usb-diagh and 9091. with this
I need a manual update. gogo
Now run the EFS Express.
Press 0 on the ROW and OK.
(ROW or SF_Default)
Oh, it takes a long time. I thought it stopped.
It opens if you stay still. LOL
It's open. How nice to see you here!
I am the Korean telecommunication company EFS file extracted from xperia1.
I used it. If you need VOLTE,
XPERIA1 (Modem).Extract from SIN file
I will use the Korean communication file.
Just drag it and put it in a folder.
v check and Yes
There'll be folders that don't exist while you're pulling them in.
Then make it and put the file in.
In the folder where you can view this red file,
Drag and drop the file twice.
The reason is that once you do it, you just go in.
The red file is not updated.
That's how the numbers at the back change when you renew.
So make sure to put it in twice.
Files beginning with NV do not have folders.
Put it on top.
It's over now!

It was such a hard time for me!
I was sad because I couldn't get help.
With 5G mobile phones in 2020,
It was terrible to be on the 3G phone.
If there's someone like me,
This information will help you a lot.

This is great! How do we find VoLTE profile for our carriers?

It's hidden in XPERIA1 firmware.
After downloading the firmware via Xperia Pim, change the extension to Modem.img in the Modem.sin file and extract it to the compression program (7z) to view the folder! Surprisingly, the world's telecommunications company VOLTE EFS file is hidden. +_+ Take advantage of it! You can open the VOLTE menu through the magazine module.
Hi, why don't you show by video or pictures. The windowns language is English. ???
Attach the necessary software.
Thanks
I estimate, its only possible by unlocking/rooting the phone?
how to
Even with the great contributors' information, I think there are a few areas where I struggle.
For additional information, I will post my success stories.
I'm posting them in machine translation. Please forgive me if it's hard to read.
STEP 1: Implement the Tools You Need
Please install the following tools.
QPST(QPST_2.7.460)
Qualcomm-hs-usb-diagnostics-9091-952454(DIAG driver)
Flashtool (and XperiaFirm)
newflasher(INSTALL is unnecessary, but please get it.)
*All of the above were available on the internet as of 8/15.
STEP2: Get a "modem" that supports VoLTE.
As a prerequisite (regardless of the DualSim/SinglSim model)
For countries that want to use VoLTE, SONY is offering
Official firmware is required.
In my example.
Purchased model: XQ-AT52 (for Hong Kong)
The country where you want to use it: Japan -> SO-51A is available.
(The difference in the number of slots in the SIM doesn't affect it. )
This is the case.
If the firmware to run VoLTE does not exist in the country where you want to use it
This method does not work.
The annotations are long, but here are the steps.
Use XperiFirm, provided by SONY in the country where you want to use VoLTE.
Download the firmware.
STEP3: Use the newflasher to write the firmware from STEP2 to your Xperia 1 ii.
In this case, if you want to burn into a model with a different number of SIM slots
Example: Writing SO-51A firmware to XQ-AT52
→The SIM will not be recognized, but it is temporary.
STEP4: Use EFS Explorer to get the necessary files.
Follow the steps of the great htcmage and have your Xperia 1 ii recognized by EFS Explorer.
4-1: Install the QPST.
4-2:Install Magisk on your Xperia 1 ii.
Therefore, it is mandatory to unlock the bootloader.
4-3:Execute the commands at the command prompt as follows.
adb shell
su
setprop persist.usb.eng 1
Magisk's permission is now required to get SuperUser privileges in su.
Note: From the Magisk menu, go to "# SuperUser" and click on
You can allow.
4-4: The debug mode is disconnected, so you need to re-enable it.
4-5: If you have installed the qualcomm-hs-usb-diagnostics-9091-952454 (DIAG driver), you can use
It is recognized by EFS Explorer.
4-6: On the Phone Selectio screen, Banner selects the ROW port.
STEP 5: Back up the files required for VoLTE activation.
Before following the steps below, you must have the SIM of the line/carrier you want to enable VoLTE on.
Please plug in.
I have backed up the following folders.
There may be some things you don't need, but at least it works.
Data_Profiles
efsprofiles
Ims.
nv/item_files/datamodem
nv/item_files/ims
nv/item_files/mcfg
nv/item_files/modem
STEP6: Write the firmware you want to use, and copy the file from STEP5 to
Override.
Follow steps 3 to 4 of STEP 3 to 4 to get the firmware you want to use.
Write & make EFS Explorer recognize it. (Don't remove the SIM.)
Then, overwrite it with the files backed up in STEP 5.
You should probably now have VoLTE available.
Thanks to the person who walked me through the Magisk installation process, and to the great htcmage.
Also, I pray that others wandering in the same sea of information will be saved.

I used a software called S1 Unlock Tool. You need to buy a credit from this website: https://networkunlocking.com/shop/sony-xperia-cable-unlock-0-counter-supported/. There is also a link to download the software. Along with unlocking your phone it will also grant you access to unlock your bootloader if you wish to do so. I did this and tried to root my phone but I wasn't successful, it just soft bricked my phone and was stuck in a boot loop. I had to use Xperia Companion to restore my phone. Maybe you can't root the Japanese variants, I'm not sure. I saw on here on another forum that you can root the Xperia 1 II.

I have this P800 dual sim that runs on Android 2.2 (which in fact I think it is 2.1) and a Chinese Ingenic JZ4760 CPU (600 mhz), 256 RAM, 256 ROM. It has capacitive screen, GPS and Wi-fi. I'm desperate to install Android 2.2.1 on it for some tweaks and I don't know how because I'm new at this. I contacted the supplier but he couldn't help me with this.
Main problems:
1. Where can I find a working ROM for this so I`ll still have the dual sim option? Can't I just install a ROM from any other chinese dual sim or it has something to do with the drivers, CPU on the phone? I saw the hero H6 modding thread here on xda..
2. How do I make a full back up of the phone so I can go back to the original settings if something goes wrong?
3. How do I install new ROM without bricking it?
4. Is it absolutely necessary to root before I install the new Android?
If you want more information about kernel, hardware or anything else I can tell you from "Android system info" application that I installed on it. I might be a noob but I can learn really fast.
Please help! I just need you people to point me into the right direction.
To see the phone just search "P800 Android" on google

this files was taken from russian forum (forum .china-iphone .ru / viewtopic .php?f=22&t=11424)
Thank you for this. I will try it. I just have some questions: who made this firmware? and why don`t they talk in english so everybody can understand? I need to know if anyone used this firmware and if there will be updated firmwares in the future.
This firmware is made by manufacturer of p800, "rooted" system.img repacked by enthusiast from Israel. I'm and other users from topic about p800 of forum china-iphone.ru use this firmware. Reseller in China promise to send newer firmware on this week. As soon as it happen, link will be available at that topic.
On that forum everybody talk in Russian and foreign-speaking peoples uses Google-translate service to understand us.
For me, for example, English is not comfortable. (I think you can see it in my posts because my grammar).
When the new firmware is available can you please post a link in this topic too?
And since you use this firmware can you tell me if some of the problems I have, are solved? For example:
-Android market working?
-proximity senzor
-microphone
-did you get rid of all those useless chinese applications?
-is it Android version 2.2 or 2.2.1?
-wireless working?
-bluetooth working (sending/receiving)
-both cameras working?
-GPS navigation with iGO working?
-if you reset the phone at factory settings do you lose the IMEIs?
what did you do to install this firmware?
Is adobe Flash and adobe reader working? what about yahoo messenger?

Ok, I'll post link to new firmware, when it will exist.
Mic on my phone working excellent, Android 2.2, proximity sensor worked on Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B11, but on Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B16 it is not working, both cameras taking photos, but not video. GPS works with (download .osmand .net /latest-night-build/OsmAnd-stable.apk). Wifi is ok. I didn't here about loosing IMEI by this device. I didn't use Andr. market. Now when you have root access you may uninstall everything yourself.
would you please see if the bluetooth, android market, flash player and yahoo messenger is working? Do I need offline maps for OsmAnd to work?
Just now I send a *.docx file to Nokia phone by bluetooth without any problem. OsmAnd as i know will ask you to download offline maps at first run (You need just select Country/region you want to download) BUT i don't know is it free or not. My phone have no internet connection now, thats why i can't help you with flash and yahoo
Hi,
I've questions about this phone. I've see this chinese model with new processor and dual sim support. On the paper it seems a very nice product:
http://www.shanzai.com/index.php/ma...00-phone-running-on-a-chinese-made-jz4760-cpu
but the problem is when i want to find to buy this product
1. is only in english or chinese (french is my mother tongue)
2. i had 3 p/n z800 or p800 or pz800 (in russia)
3. in some site it claims it's a MTK6515 cpu inside and is only a fake on the system properties for the p800
4. in all site it claims 256 ram and 512 rom, but in this topic you say 256/256
for exemple here for P800:
http://www.fastcardtech.com/goods-5...droid+22+os+GPS+Dual+sim+card+phone+wifi.html
and here for z800:
http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/s...iFi_JAVA_GPS_Qaud_Band_GSM_Smart_Phone_-37579
Where is the truth?
Finally if it's really the new Ingenic CPU, it's really better than a MTK6516?
Thanks for you advice

Hello.
1. Android on this phone (like on other) is multilingual (French exist exactly)
2. As i know p800 = z800 = pz800.
3. If it will be useful to you I can say that i owned Toshiba portege g810 for 1.5 years, p800 is really better. It is not so fast as HTC HD2, but not so slow as Toshiba Portege g810.
4. I don't know about it's ROM and RAM, beside it is enough for me.
Now some useful application are not installable on p800, but i believe that new firmware will made progress in this.
Some users said, that old versions of firmware had problems with low sensitive mic, now it is ok.
Till now the preamp level of speaker are too high, that is why not comfortable to use it on max volume.
And the 3rd difficulty us in setting up navigation software, people says, that it is impossible to install iGo or navitel (OsmAnd is workable).
The next problem is inability of setting max ringer alert volume, when speaking volume is not on the max level.
The quality of materials and manufacturing are high.
Oh, i forgot to say about excellent touch and bright (suppose AMOLED) screen.
The CPU model is jz4760
P. S. In store where i bought it the details are mistaken too ( www .aliexpress .com /fm-store/403972/210660520-441180847/Hot-Selling-2011-Android-2-2-Phones-P800-phones-with-gps-wifi-java-dual-sim-dual.html)

Please tell me step by step how did you root and install this firmware. If you could answer today it would be great. I tried to root with SuperOne Click to make a full backup in case something goes wrong but it didn`t work and I opened USBbootTool.exe but it`s in chinese and I don`t know what to do. A video tutorial would be really nice..
Step 1. Installing the driver loader.

Thank you for the reply. Where can I get that serial number? And what do you mean it doesn't matter? What settings did you had in USBbootTool? Mine is in chinese.

Hi!
I didn't fill serial number at all, somebody fill this with random digits.
USBbootTool is in Chinese, all settings are correct, you do not need to change anything there. Just follow the instruction.
Good luck!
Thank you very much. It works.
1. After you unpack the archive the Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B16_生产版本 folder must be renamed to Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B16
2. The steps were correct but I don`t know how to verify that it`s rooted
3. Like you said it didn`t work on my Win 7 x64 so I went to my neighbor who had Win XP
4. I put 11111111111111 when it asked for serial number and it worked so it doesn`t matter indeed
5. Proximity senzor not working at all
6. Android keyboard missing (Sogou Input instead)
7. The name of the operators still doesn`t appear in notifications just like before. There are just some numbers: 22610 for Orange and 22603 for Cosmote
8. USSD code for Cosmote still not working. *123*2# - This is for showing me how many messages I have left on Cosmote.
I will test different applications so I can see what's working and I`m waiting for updated firmwares from you. Thanks again. You`ve been very helpful. There should be more people like you.

Thank you for comment.
I'm just translating information from Russian topic. And giving my experience of using this phone.
2. To verify rooting i'd install Root Explorer and now it is possible to set RW parametr on system folders. Some application start workig after changing firmware, before this apps said that root permission missed.
5. Yes, proximity sensor is not used by interface in this firmware.
6. Android keyboard are able to be selected. For example, open messages and choose creating of new SMS then made long press on text field and tap "select input method" appeared, you need to choose "Guboi alphabetic..."
7th & 8th problems are nod fixed yet
Hello everyone, I have the same phone and when I was trying to root it start making problems and then it's not booting anymore, so this firmware is very important to me, I'm in United Arab Emirates and it's almost impossible to download from Rapidshare. So can anyone be kind and upload both of the firmware to any other site midiafire will be great if possible
http://www.mediafire.com/?ptgu7rdps2gjd22
http://www.mediafire.com/?5j53v5x0zg6zc1c
At the end just wait until it doesn`t do anything anymore(just be patient), then unplug the cable, put the battery and power it on(don`t put the battery with the cable pluged, you could distroy the battery). The booting will take a little longer than before.
If you can root it, please tell me how you did it..
BEFORE YOU READ THIS ARTICLE:
- This is not a step by step explanation. There are already published tutorials with very good explanations. However, I will share my own experience and try to guide you and solve the problems you may encounter when unbricking your phone.
Said so,
I wanna thank you all for the effort you put in to demystify the unbrick of this beautiful smartphone. However, some of us have experienced problems after all those steps.
So, for those of you who have these problems:
MY IMEI IS 0049... -----> search for a tutorial on how to use PhoneTool 191. You have 2 options - (1) Install a SERVICE ROM (already rooted) and change both IMEIs (using setprop to change the target IMEI) or (2) ROOT your current ROM and use ADB with these commands - adb shell | su | setprop system.at-proxy.mode 1 (for SIM 1) and setprop system.at-proxy.mode 3 (or 4) for SIM 2.
MY SIM 1 IS "NOT INSTALLED" ------> If you suspect it is not a hardware problem, then deactivate SIM 1. Remove SIM Card from Slot 1. Then, activate SIM 1. Insert Card and wait for PIN insertion. Keep trying this or alternatively insert SIM Card on SLOT 2. Then insert PIN. Deactivate SIM 1. Remove SIM Card from SLOT 2. Activate SIM 1 and after the message INSERT SIM 1 on SLOT 1. It should ask for a PIN. At least on my case using last WW ROM 5.0 (UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.198-user.zip) .
MY SLOT 1 ALREADY ASKS FOR PIN BUT I SEE NO NETWORK/CROSS ON THE NETWORK ICON -----> if your IMEIs are already the right ones/not blocked in your operator, you should check if your PHONE's SERIAL NUMBER is correct. If it is not, there is a file called factory.zip where you can alter file "ssn" and file "PhoneInfo_inf" to your correct serial nr. NOTE: YOU MUST USE AN HEX EDITOR CAUSE "ssn" file should finish the serial number with an HEX "0A". Reboot phone and everything should be fine.
IF THERE IS STILL NO NETWORK.. and probably your phone is a CN version (like mine), you SHOULD UNLOCK BOOTLOADER. I wasn't able to do it with the official APK, probably because of my bad serial (even after I corrected it with the method described). So I googled it and found some nice tools: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenf...odder-t3458145. Use the "UNLOCK.bat" file.
- After unlocking bootloader, when the OS started, my phone started to gather network on SIM 1!!!
If you have questions or doubts and need a more detailed explanation, feel free to post it here. I will try to help you out. And btw, if you cannot repair your serial using ASUS FLASH TOOL (AFT) and a RAW file of an original ROM, probably the bootloader is locked and you need to change the serial manually (you must copy factory folder of factory.zip file into the root path of your phone and of course, change ssn and PhoneInfo_inf files using an HEX Editor like xview32 freeware like I said before).
FACTORY.ZIP --> http://www.megafileupload.com/oz7F/factory.zip
I hope you can fix your SIM 1 SLOT :good:!
Big hug from Portugal,
João
hello link for factory.zip don't work. can you re upload please ?
Most old methods of changing the region on the samsung watches don't work anymore. Given their return policy I thought I bought expensive junk.

starts the csc selection but doesn't actually change the region.
TL;DR you need to install the combination firmware and edit two files
INFO: Netodin works fine in linux as well with wine since it works over the wifi
1. Start NetOdin3 click options and disable auto reboot
2. Click AP and select the combination firmware
3. Hold reboot button on the Samsung watch, when the reboot screen shows up press home multiple times to get into the boot menu
4. Jump to the Download (Wireless) and hold the boot button again to get into the Firmware download menu
5. Press the same button to more times to switch the watch to AP mode
6. Connect your wifi to the watch SM-R830-someid
7. In NetOdin3 press Start to flash the combination firmware
8. Click reset and now press CSC button
9. Select the CSC md5 and press start
10. When you reboot the device hold the boot button again until you enter the boot menu again
11. Select recovery and let the device restart
12. Enter settings -> About watch -> Software -> Tap software version until debug mode starts (you may need to restart your watch)
13. Connect watch to wifi
14. sdb connect <watchip>
15. sdb root on
16. sdb shell
17. backup active-customer.info: sdb pull /csa/csc/csc-active-customer.inf
18. backup prodcode.dat: sdb pull /csa/imei/prodcode.dat
19. edit /csa/csc/csc-active-customer.inf and replace csc code (I used vim and the XAR for the US version, https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/vi-editor-unix/ )
20. edit /csa/imei/prodcode.dat and replace last three characters to csc code you want (don't enter the csc selection after this it will reset it to the factory region)
21. reboot the device into recovery (i used /usr/bin/csc-util --reboot customer_change but i'm not sure it's necessary)
22. run netodin again and select AP, BL and CSC to flash stock
23. enjoy samsung pay if you have a US credit card (seems like you no longer need to install samsung pay apks on non samsung phone it's part of the wearables app)

A Beginner
Hi,
First of all I want to thank you guys for the grat work.
I want to say that I am actually a beginner or amature when it comes to what you are doing
The instructions are very clea. But I would really appreciate it if anybody describes what to do with more details, especially the codes of sdb. Just some more details
It would be great if you can upload a video "If possible"
1. What is the worst thing that might happen if I do something wrong? Can the watch be ruind? Can I fix it if it happens?
2. Where can I find the csc of my country "Sweden" I googled it and found like 5 or 6 different csc !! Is there any trusted source?
3. Is it appliable to R820??? the 44mm model? or do I need to do something different in my case??
Thanks in advance
Coming from the other thread to confirm this worked for me, thanks a ton! Didn't think it would be that simple with just editing two text files.. lol
For those who missed it(I did), some steps are missing where one has to repeatedly connect back to AP every time something has to be done in NetOdin.
Also if anyone is confused about the steps, it's pretty much the same process for all samsung watches so just search for it on youtube, it's there.
Out of curiosity, where did you get the firmware from?? @tb_

Hi ,
Thanks for your feedback,are the sdb thing code mandatory?on youtube they only add the 3 or 4 files on odin and just flash it...
Hey guys, firstly thankyou! This worked perfectly and now I'm able to use Samsung pay down in Australia! Only thing that I would add from the perspective of being a complete beginner to Odin, is how to save the files when you edit the CSC (press escape then type ":wq") it took me an extra 20 minutes to figure it out and I thought someone might find it useful

Got it from a third party. I was worried that it was counterfeit so before installing it I went through the system files to see if it's really the right model. But I can of course not guarantee that it wasn't modified by a third party. But I kinda assume that samsung won't boot from any random image given that you can't downgrade Samsung and even their tizen to any version you want apparently.

The csc.img has BTU inside. But I can't guarantee you anything when I ran this with my zone set to XTC it was booting fine but I couldn't get my phone to connect / initialize the watch after the factory reset. But not sure if it was the app or because i didn't properly reset or if I maybe shouldn't have reset.
So I can tell you that it will boot without issues but whether it works no idea. Maybe someone else can comment on that.

I think you are talking about steps 17 and 18. If so can you please till me a bit more detailed how to do these steps ! I mean Do we edit manually in the sdb?? or how are we editing? Why do we need to save the files after editing? there is nothing about saving files in the steps above!
Sorry if my questions are silly but I am a real beginner here!

No one will give you guarantees on this because no one wants to blame if something goes wrong. But if you try absolutely under no circumstances interrupt the flashing process and absolutely don't use the wrong model ROM. Also to be safe don't try to flash a firmware that has a lower version than your current one.

csc usually depends on the vendor. So there are a bunch of sweden csc's . But you should be able to find your current csc in /cas/imei/prodcode.dat

Lower frimware? I have Tizen version 4.0.0.7
1. Do you know if the availabe combination frimware for R820 is of a lower frimware??
2. Yes My R820 is the 44mm bluetooth. thats correct. I guess I should use R820 which you linked in your original post!
3. Can you please describe more about steps 17-18 I didn't really understand how to edit! It's my first time using this sdb thing
Thanks for your patience everybody answering or even reading my questions
I think I am the most commenting member on this topic.
I have read a lot and almost all the details in each shared link in this thread.
I am trying hard I swear. Lately after downloading the shared files in the links in the original post. I can't start the file "web-cli_Tizen_Studio_3.3_windows-64"
It is just flashing a cmd window and nothing happens after that!
What should I do in this case??
The other file in the link "web-ide_Tizen_Studio_3.3_windows-64" is telling I should have JDK software which I installed but It didn't help anyway!

Don't use that because I had the same issue in Windows 10. Go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74585286&postcount=330 and download SDBstarterKidv1.zip. Extract it and run ansicon.exe under data/tools folder. It will open a command prompt.

Normally the watch comes up with a prompt to allow your pc to connect to your watch. Maybe you might have to restart your watch. I would try the netodin step first because it might be more straightforward to connect the combination firmware to the computer because I didn't get any prompt on that.
Also maybe check that your virus scanner/firewall isn't blocking access.

I have even tried to create a private wifi from the computer I use and connect the watch to the same network but it didn't help either.
I am still only trying to connect the watch to the computer through sdb. I haven't done the odin steps yet. I am afraid doing odin steps and not being able to complete the sdb connecty steps !!
I have another question:
Where I live in Sweden. Samsung didn't release a bluetooth version at all. That's why I bought mine from Germany.
If I change my csc to Sweden. Will it work as there is actually no swedish bluetooth SM-R820 !! I mean that mine watch will be probably the only bluetooth r820 with swedish csc !!!! will I get updates as usual? will the watch even work?

OOPS!
You were following guides on XDA, and throwing random commands in ADB from the posts under the guides (DON'T DO THIS!) and now your slick new ROG phone 2 doesn't have mobile data, calls, wifi, or bluetooth. You quickly find out that flashing the phone with any firmware old or new, doesn't help you, as this issue is directly linked to your chip in your phone.
I quickly found that I needed a QCN file from someone with a rog 2 phone, however I could not get any help here on XDA except from the user Greatuser123, who did not want to give out his QCN file (understandably), but did send me some notes to try and help with other tools.
With nothing working, and no QCN file, I ordered another ROG 2 and waited for it in the mail. After it got here, I quickly extracted the QCN file, replaced the IMEI's in it, and used QPST to restore my phone.
I am simply writing this guide with the generic QCN file with my info masked out of it, so no one has to go through what I went through.
Common issue
This most commonly happens with ROG 2 Phones from the commands:
DO NOT RUN THESE COMMANDS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
(spaced command to ensure no one runs this!)

On most phones, on a reboot, these partitions would be restored on reboot, but not on most ROG's.
Prerequisites
Rooted Phone
QPST
Qualcomm USB drivers
IMEI Converter
Platform Tools
The Fix
Follow the above root linked video, or find the root thread for your phone here on XDA, and root your phone. This will not work unless you are rooted, although I do not know how you would get into this mess without having your phone rooted already.
Install QPST tools
Install Qualcomm USB drivers
Download the attached zip "good_qcn.zip" and extract the .QCN file anywhere on your machine
Open the .QCN file with any Hex Editor (I used HxD) and search for the Hex-Values: 08 3A 85 99 99 99 99 99 99
NOTE: There will be TWO locations with this value. This is where your IMEI_1 and IMEI_2 will go. Your IMEI_2 goes into the FIRST occurrence, while your IMEI_1 goes in the second.
Download the IMEI Converter app and type in your IMEI_1 and click "Convert", place the converted hex output into a notepad or similar
Do the same for your IMEI_2 and place it in the same location
Now that you have the HEX version of both your IMEI's, paste your IMEI_2 in the FIRST occurrence of the fake IMEI in the QCN file
Paste your IMEI_1 in the last occurrence of the fake IMEI and now save your new .QCN file.
Ensure your device is in USB Debugging Mode.
Download and extract the Platform Tools if you do not have them already.
Plug your phone into your computer using either port
Navigate to your extracted Platform Tools and in a Command Line type "adb devices" to ensure your device is visible.
Run a shell with "adb shell" and elevate your permission with "su"
Now it is time to enable Diag mode by running "setprop sys.usb.config rndis,diag,adb"
At this time, if you installed the Qualcomm Drivers, your device manager should have a port similar to "Qualcomm HS-USB Diag". If not keeping trying to re-enter diag mode and ensure the drivers are correct.
Open up "QPST Configuration" which was installed earlier. You should see your phone listed under "Active Phones". Click "Start Clients" -> "Software Download"
The Port field of the QPST Software Download should list your phone, if not something is wrong.
Click "Restore", and in the xQCN field, click "Browse", change the file type from XQCN to QCN, and select your newly made QCN file
Click "Start", and once the process is done, restart your phone
Conclusion
If all went well, your phone should now have all its bells and whistles again. Sometimes it may require a Factory Reset, and this should always be the practice anyways. If you have mobile data, but only H+ or EDGE, dial *#*#4636#*#* on your phone and ensure LTE is provisioned.
Good luck guys!

Hi bro, Nice to meet you and I did my best to help you out, as I spent some stress on this when I was one of the first people that suffered with this issue. And gladly you solved it, bro you misunderstood badly about I did not want to give you the qcn, I was going to give you my qcn file but first I was asking to you for some proof , photo of same phone as me and the package to know that you are not going to change or edit badly ( doing mischievousness) as you never sent the proof I did not send the qcn file.. you can re check again your messages. Bro
Thank you very much for this, life saver.
My wifi and bluetooth works fine but I cannot get my mobile to power back on. When I go into the menu mobile power is just not there :/
Do you have the global or the cn version?

This QCN came from a global device, but I imagine this could be used to recover the mobile at least temporary to fully fix the device, no matter the origins.
Sorry for the delay.

No no, please do not think I meant you by that. It was other users (understandably) that questioned my motives before you. I absolutely would have taken you up on your offer if I did not already have the phone on the way Either way, I really appreciate your help during this, and I hope you continue to help other users the same way you did for me.

After a lot of heart ache and even making an EDL cable I could not get cell network back. I"ve sent it into ASUS to get fixed. I have made a few backups and will diff them when I get my device back so hopefully I can see what they have fixed so others don't have to experience this.

OOPS!
You were following guides on XDA, and throwing random commands in ADB from the posts under the guides (DON'T DO THIS!) and now your slick new ROG phone 2 doesn't have mobile data, calls, wifi, or bluetooth. You quickly find out that flashing the phone with any firmware old or new, doesn't help you, as this issue is directly linked to your chip in your phone.
I quickly found that I needed a QCN file from someone with a rog 2 phone, however I could not get any help here on XDA except from the user Greatuser123, who did not want to give out his QCN file (understandably), but did send me some notes to try and help with other tools.
With nothing working, and no QCN file, I ordered another ROG 2 and waited for it in the mail. After it got here, I quickly extracted the QCN file, replaced the IMEI's in it, and used QPST to restore my phone.
I am simply writing this guide with the generic QCN file with my info masked out of it, so no one has to go through what I went through.
Common issue
This most commonly happens with ROG 2 Phones from the commands:
DO NOT RUN THESE COMMANDS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
(spaced command to ensure no one runs this!)
On most phones, on a reboot, these partitions would be restored on reboot, but not on most ROG's.

Warning: Do this at your own risk, I am not responsible for any damage that is caused to your device. This method worked for me and should work for everyone.
Credit to yakapa40 on XDA for the apk. This would be impossible without him!
You must make sure the model numbers are the same for the country you want to change to. To check that go to
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/recent/
and type in your device model number. Leave country code blank. The countries that are listed are those that will work on your specific device. DO NOT TRY TO CHANGE TO A DIFFERENT MODEL NUMBER COUNTRY!
MAKE sure device has above 70% battery just to be safe
OK lets start!
Backup all your data on samsung cloud and google
This process will erase all your data
Download samsung drivers
https://www.hardreset.info/download/samsung-drivers/
Check the CSC code you want from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2546689 credit to Jasi2169
Important later
Download the firmware you want from sammobile (slow download speed) or
https://samfw.com/ for faster download speeds.
It will be a zip file so use winrar to extract and you should get 5 files that start with
AP (System &Recovery)
BL (Bootloader)
CP (Modem / Radio)
CSC\_ (Country / Region / Operator)
HOME\_CSC (Country / Region / Operator)
DELETE the home file.
Next download Odin.
https://dl2018.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.14.4.zip
Extract the Odin file and run as administrator.
Add each file to its respective field in Odin.
Now we need to put the phone in download mode to do that go to:
https://www.hardreset.info/devices/s...download-mode/
Keep trying until it works.
Next plug the device in and press start. It should take about 3-4 mins for odin to say PASS.
DO NOT UNPLUG THE PHONE AT ANY POINT EVEN AFTER ODIN SAYS PASS.
Let the phone do its thing and dont worry if it takes too long on the Samsung screen.
You should then be greeted with the welcome screen BUT it may not be the correct language so set it to English.
Set the phone up but dont worry about apps we are going to reset the phone again.
Head over to (APK provided by yakapa40).
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hU3...ew?usp=sharing.
on your device or PC and download it. Extract and it should be a apk file. Download it with your device.
Allow unknown sources and it should says done and not open (that is normal).
put you device in flight mode/airplane mode.
hold down the home screen and go to themes.
Galaxy themes.
My stuff.
Select mysterious theme(make sure not to click update).
Select try it out.
Go to Settings.
About phone.
Legal information.
Change Carrier or whatever third option is (the one that says android 10).
Choose and install the CSC you want (that 3 letter code) remove sim and it will restart phone.
again, dont worry if its on the Samsung screen for too long.
You should be back on the welcome screen and you are done!!!
Set up the phone and enjoy!!!
Credit to yakapa40 again on XDA for the apk. This would be impossible without him!
Download link is broken
This app will NOT work on firmware with August 2020 (or later) security patch. .
The App was originally discussed in the S20 thread and stopped working for all Samsung models if August update was installed)
is there any easier way for changing CSC?
this one seems so complicated.
*#272*IMEI# for CSC change. No need for any app.
