Does the US Unlocked model (SM-G950U1) support HPUE? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I can't find the info anywhere... Does anyone know for sure if the S8 Unlocked Version supports HPUE? For now I've carrier switched it to Sprint (SPR CSC) but I'd like to run the XAA (Unlocked CSC) if possible again as my phone is an XAA version. For HPUE I'll keep it on the SPR version...

In test mode I see the transmit on B41 @ 26DB so I can confirm the unlocked has HPUE enabled.

Convert G900A (AT&T) firmware to SM-G900W8 VMC Canada (Virgin Mobile)

Hello,
Is it possible to convert G900A (AT&T) firmware to SM-G900W8 VMC Canada (Virgin Mobile) firmware?
Thanks!
no. different bands. odin will not allow you to flash the firmwares
the G900A is bootloader locked, not o good variant to flash roms/root
but if phone is sim unlocked it should work on any gsm netwrork.
as for canadian fw, why would you want it, all fw are basically the same except the bloatware that is added and/or specific carrier apps for some added user functionality.
the radio/modem might come into play depending on the variant/carrier, but should be ok from att to use in canada

How to change CSC from XAA to TCE?

I bought a S8 + originally from Verizon. Then installed firmware unlocked (SM-G955U1) then the CSC automatically changed to XAA (usa unbranded).
I am currently using it in Mexico with Telcel. Everything works good, samsung pay does work, but I want to active VoLTE and use carrier ID anti spam there's no option to activate that because my CSC is not TCE, the problem is that the firmware is not SM-G955F (exynos version) that includes TCE (telcel México) CSC which allows to go to a specific setting menu to activate volte and ID anti spam.
I'm almost sure it is not possible changing the CSC because proccesor firmware incompatibility Snapdragon (SM-G955U1) and Exynos (SM-G955F).
The question is, can I change the CSC that comes with firmware U to a CSC that is supposed ONLY included in firmware F (exynos) ?
And how to do that?

Cross version firmware updates

Is it safe to upgrade firmware targeted for one Galaxy S10+ device to another device?
Assuming both phones are either running Snapdragon or both phones are running Exynos.
Example:
- buy SM-G9750/DS (China/Hong Kong version)
- flash firmware from SM-G975U1 (US Unlocked version)
Will this be safe? What is the procedure? Has anyone attempted it?
Will I lose Dual SIM capability?
What are the potential benefits of doing so?
Will this also enable more bands (which are not enabled on China/Hong Kong version of the phone? example band 66 and band 71?).
Is there other way to enable those bands (CDMATool does not show those bands in selection).
Bands are hardware, not firmware. Flashing different firmware won't enable more bands. Flashing different firmware won't get you anything I'm afraid. They all effectively share the same firmware. All you'll do its cause potential issues.
I know the Exynos dual SIM variants share thw same firmware as the single SIM Exynos variants. But I'm not sure about the G9750/DS and G975U1 .

How to change region fw from G950U1 to G950W?

Hi, I'm wondering how I can get the Canadian XAC G950W firmware onto my XAA American G950U1 phone. I'm living in Canada right now and I'm missing out on some specific features so I would like to make my S8 into a full fledged Canadian phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
(In short, I want to change the region of my G950U1 to G950W)
