there is no OEM unlock option on "U" model, there is no twrp either for "U" model since bootlaoder is locked.
if you are looking to root U model then go here

Hi,
I have same issue. I also tried the time and date method but I am unable to see the oem unlock button. My device is SM-G955W.
Will the same method work for me too?

There is no OEM unlock for you. It is permanent locked. No way around that's it. Done. Root method system only. And converted to a U model

Hi,
Is there a way to root without OEM unlock.
If so can you let me know.
Thank you

Samsung Galaxy S8+ G955F (SCV35)
Hello, I bought a Samsung S8 + from a German ebay dealer with the following software combination as a so-called new device:
G955FXXS5DSH5 / G955FXSA5DSFB / SCV35KDU1CSF4. The S8 + worked, but there were no further security updates
possible. The last one was from 06/01/2019.
According to the IMEI website, it is a device for the Japanese market: G955F Galaxy S8+ (SCV35) (au is on the back). On the S8 + I now have the original one Version SCV35KDU1CSF4 flashed with Odin:
Result: It works, but apart from the Asian languages ​​and Portuguese, only the English language selection is possible.
For this special case there is the possibility to flash a version (possibly as a combination above) to the device
to use in german language?
Note: Apparently a Snapdron has been installed here.

4G-LTE Issue

Long story, short:
I bought an LG g2 that i thought was an european model but however i think its a korean model,
If i want to use 4G(LTE) on the G2, i need to enable it by a "secret" menu every time i reboot. Isnt there any permanent solution on this?
Should i install a european firmware?
Do you have root? Custom ROM?

Stock Korean thing.
For 1 hour ago i tried installing Europe firmware and it succeeded, but however it upgraded back to korean.
Without root I don't believe there is a way but with root you can edit the build.prop to change target country

If it's a Korean model, flashing an incompatible ROM might ruin your device. Proceed with caution.
Managed to get CM11 on it. Everything works better now - Its a pain in the azz to root + recovery + cm11 on LG G2

[Q] SM-T330 vs SM-T330NU - firmware

Are the firmwares for the tablets in subject interchangeable? the NU is the North American version and I'm wondering if I could flash a European version of the T330 to support mode languages. I want to add that sammobile has the firmwares listed under different codes.
Anybody knows if it is possible to flash an LTE firmware on the WIFI version of the same tablet? Thanks

I dont know, but I highly advise not install LTE on WiFi only tab, since there are hardware differences and you most likely will brick your tab

Hi,
do you've already got any further information on this? For I have the same problem: in the US we purchased a tab for my mom, but she isn't doing too well with the english UI (though she already got used to it - it's still android, after all ).
Anyway: there's also a WiFi-Version (SM-T330NZWADBT) of this tablet. Is there anywhere a firmware available for download for this particular model? And: is the firmware interchangeable in this case, as it's wifi-to-wifi straight?

So can I install firmware from sm-t230 on sm-t230NU cause I want Polish language. or it's hidden and hidden languages are achievable with morelocale2?
"Locale More" did the job for me, all it requires is to run one adb command and it works well without root.

Same problem here. I tried whole different ways including reflashing ROM but didn't work. Then I found Region unlock app by chainfire. It worked like a charm. Also you need to root your mobile first. Rooting method is somewhere in xda. Search it . Hope it helps.

I live in Argentina and I see that the 2 Core Prime G360F for my kids purchased 3 days ago in parís, have the regional SIM block. The Fnac seler dont warned about this.
Now I see that on the lower side of the boxes has a warning on regional SIM lock. The solution of Samsung is to activate a 5 minute call with a European SIM. For me, it is a lote complicated from my country
I'm seeing that an application that unlocks it for Note 3 rooted. Somebody knows if esta apk with The G360F work?

replace Korean Samsung S8 (SM-G950N) stock ROM with another one from Spain.

Hi All,
Please excuse me in case this was already adressed in other post.
Case: I bought in South Korea a brand new Samsung Galaxy S8 (SM-G950N) Exynos version. Im very happy with the phone but there are a few diferences between this one and the spanish version of the phone. For example, since in Korea apparently is not legal to silence the shutter of the camera there is no option in the phone to remove this sound. Other things are for example the apps that by default are installed in the phone. In my case the carrier is KT and I have a ton of apps that I cannot use or Im not interested.
Questions:
Q1.- Is there a possibility to install the samsung stock rom for the S8 clean (from Spain for example) and get rid of all this crap and at the same time maintain all warranty and Updates as any other "not modified" phone?
Q2.- Will the software change once i insert the SIM car from my spanish carrier showing me option available in the S8 spanish software version that i cannot see now from the Korean version?
Q3.- can I use a baseband from any other carrier and if not is there compatible basebands with my phone?
any help will be much appreciated.
thanks in advance.

I have a Korean phone (g950N) and have done everything that you want to it EXCEPT my warranty is void. Initially, I rooted the phone and flashed a different stock ROM. Since then, I've flashed a custom ROM (Renovate-ice) as it gives me far more options and flexibility. During the installation, you can choose the country you want and it will add all the relevant software and frequencies etc.

AFAIK you will not get to the result you want, as long as you don't want to void your warranty (knox 0x1).
Flashing a g950F Firmware on a g950N device will lead to a not booting phone.

Also, no. Your CSC won't change when inserting a different SIM.
As to the third question, I can't answer.
But if you would be willing to void your warranty, you of course can change the csc to a spain one, get all the spain carrier bloatware and can deactivate the shutter sound.
voLTE ISSUE
I am facing a similar problem.
i bought a galaxy s8 (SM-G950n) from south korea. But here, in india, i can't use voLTE. i can use LTE and other band at ease except voLTE. Then googled and found that indian csc code installation may help. But the problem is that the phone i have is single sim and the indian model has dual sim. If i flash the indian stock rom will it brick? If it bricks i can't gp back to south korea to resolve that. i contacted the korean samsung service but their help didn't work.
Give me a strong solution.

yes, but that's the fact, on the pcb it says g950u, and the chipset is detected on PC qualcom, but the cellphone information says g950f and when dial * # 1234 # shows the results like this
but if I use the dial code * # 12580 * 369 # it will address the results like this
then when I use the 'phone info' application the results are like this
So its a950 u. With 950f stuff on it. Probably unlocked and setup to run on a international carrier. The bootloader version of the important one. And what i would go off of
and this test results from 'miracle thunder' addressed the results as shown below
like this
I blinked using the G950u and G950u1 all failed, luckily my cellphone didn't bootloop,

I dont really know. Some one had it customized to a non us carrier. So other than downloading the latest firmware you can find on sam mobile and try but it may mess with what ever carrier its setup to use
