I bought Galaxy Note 8 64GB model yesterday from Samsung India online shop, inserted Jio SIM but VoLTE doesn't work, mobile data connected only with LTE, In order to make calls I had to install Jio4gvoice app. Note 8 doesn't have option to enable VoLTE.
When I contacted customer service they said bar code mismatch issue between the jio sim and mobile phone, new software update will be issued to resolve this problem.
Has anyone facing JioSIM VoLTE issue with Samsung Galaxy Note 8?
I am facing the same issue.
Jio customer care executive said the same thing.
Hope it gets resolved soon.
Its working on ma bros note8 here in India with jio... Sim is in slot 1 like its supposed to be.. Also it shud be assigned 4g/lte in mobile network settings.
I am facing the same issue Volte does not appear sometime
Changed sim card no luck with note 8 where as same sim card is working properly with MI mobile.
Sometime cant find Network .Volte disappear,No call no sms no net all dead .
Need urgent Fix
facing the same issue
hi,
I'm facing the same issue. i spoke to the jio customer care, but to no avail.
I applied to port to airtel. In the meanwhile i'm using their HDvoice app for calls and texts.
Any solution yet
Hi, I am facing the same issue. In my case the mobile was bought from US. Is there a solution? Jio4GVoice is annoying to keep all the time in mobile data even though I have fibre net in my home.
have you looked if it can be enabled via ims using Shortcut Master lite
Download Indian firmware
extract a file that start with name HOME_CSC_OXM***
flash that with Odin CSC tab.
Before this make backup of data including Int storage as it may wipe everything.
OR
Simply use a custom ROM that support Jio VolTE
Any fix for this issue yet? It's annoying, especially when the phone is made in India for India and doesn't work as expected!
Hello Guys,
As the vodafone VoLTE is launched in Delhi NCR circle i was casually trying to activate the same in my connection! I wasnt able to find the right setting, but then on the vodafone website they said to send a msg "4G Check" to 199 for checking compatibility of VoLTE on my handset (That is Note 8), to my horror the message i received was,
"Your Mobile Handset supports 4G, but will not support VoLTE. Kindly upgrade your handset to experience Vodafone VoLTE.
Are you kidding me, Note 8 doesnt support VoLTE?? Any inputs?
Note 8 supports VoLte but firmware needs required changes. Samsung have applied changes to to only three devices S9 pro, J7 next and J7 Pro to support Vodafone VoLte. Jio users already using VoLte on N8 so sooner or later it will be available for Vodafone too
But if it works with airtel volte and jio volte on the same firmware then how can it be a Samsung issue .?
Same step can be done for N9500 model too, for replacing TGY(hongkong) CSC by INS CSC ?
Will it trigger knox if I do so ?

Hello, I have been wanting to enable VoLTE functionality on my Galaxy Note 8 N9500 bought from UAE. Though its from UAE I was given a N9500 Version which is a Honkong / Chinese version of the phone. I am in India and want to use Samsung pay and also VoLTE.
Samsung pay would only take me to Install Honkong version of samsung pay.
Is it possible to flash a INS (Indian) firmware on this phone ?

No!
N9500 is Snapdragon soc.
Indian market gets the ones with Exynos soc.
So not compatible!
Only way is to root your phone and flash the modded csc zip file. BUT you Will LOSE Samsung pay! (For good)

Thanks for the quick reply Buddy. If not Indian firmware can we flash firmware of a country supporting VoLte . Coz Currently when I want to toggle greyed out VoLte button it says "Volte is not supported by your current software version. Contact customer service for more details" . I can live without samsung pay.
To make VoLTE work you need the IMS APN, basically when using VoLTE all the voice is send as "data" instead of "voice" when compare to 3G but these "data" are send to the IMS APN. Some phone allow you to manually add the IMS APN and turn on VoLTE, I don't know if note8 can do this or not as I never try to do it manually.
You can copy the IMS APN setting from other phone or ask your operator for it.
As I know Samsung will only include the IMS APN of the firmware's region in the firmware only.

My note 8 is SM-N9500 TGY Hong Kong (Un-branded Chinese Snapdragon 835 Dual SIM, Unlocked Bootloader) How do I change the CSC in order for VoLTE and wifi calling to work with US T-Mobile?
I have the same problem. I'm very curious
I have same problem
Hello, I've seen on french forum that it's not possible
Can you guys confirm LTE works on T-Mobile in the US?
Hi!
I have also SM-N9500 csc is TGY(HONGKONG)
you can check here
http://www.phonemore.com/compare/phones/galaxy-note-8-sm-n950fd-vs-galaxy-note-8-sm-n9500/6303040
it is only Rom problem,
normaly SM-N9500 much more capable from SM-N950FD,
but i think china don't give a permissions for video calling,
and our SM-N9500 has a software barrier for this.
Are there any people will solve this problem?
Yes I also have hk sm-9500 with no video call button on dialpad and no wifi calling feature. Pls help enable them both. Thanks.
I would imagine you should be able to flash a T-Mobile N950U ROM on the 9500 if it is also Snapdragon, and that should in theory make it essentially the same as a 950U, though I am not sure if the 9500 has the right LTE bands. T-Mobile primarily uses LTE bands 2, 4, and 12 in most areas (mostly band 4 near me).
So far as I know you can use Korean Rom (N950N I guess) on N9500 but ODIN will not allow it, you need to root and flash by TWRP

This will probably brick his phone.
The 9500 is Snapdragon like the 950U, while the N and F are Exynos.
Hi Guys, did so far anyone find any solution for this issue? i'm sitting in 2019 and still looking for a solution. please help!
We need to record calls without rooting our devices (mine is a Samsung Note 8 updated to Android PIE).
All third party apps are not working anymore because Google (shame on you) blocked them with android 9.
We need a quick solution from XDA because the most of the Producers brands don't want to provide for that (only Xiaomi provide a native function in his smartphones, from what i know). Samsung seems not interested to this request of the users.
Please develpers focus on this...million of users waiting a quick solution!!!!
Thanks in advance.

Actually You can. I changed mine from NZC to INS. Download the particular countries firmware and flash it with Odin.
I did it like 1 year back but just google it. There are steps. Knox will be still intact.

Hi, i have taiwanese firmware BRI (in Sammobile i can see that Taiwan and India have same the same CSC N950FOXM5DSB2).
I have not record call native function with this firmware. Are u sure that in Indian software that function is present? I mean in Note 8 (SM-N950F DS) dual sim.
By the way, if i decide to flash indian firmware .....to change CSC what file is the one to use? home_CSC or CSC? I've read that someone flashed the other country firmware but then CSC didn't changed ....
Can u link me a video to do this? or a forum with a clear instructions to use a firmware of another country?
Thanks in advance

Hey Try this. *#272*Device IMEI# if it shows list of CSC select the one you desired.
Caution: It will factory reset the phone. When booting don't insert sim card as it will try to change back CSC to your sim country. Let me know if it working.
I had to flash through ODIN coz in NZ phones are network dependent. but asian and european version have multiple CSC so it should work fine without root.
HIT LIKE IF WORKED
---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------
If it didn't work let me know. Got few idea in my mind.
You should be presented with this pop up once you enter the code in dialer.
maybe it's enough that i only change my CSC (now BRI) to INDIA (INS)..to enable record calls native function.
then hard reset and let update the smartphone.
I have Taiwan official last firmware with PIE now (received OTA) and i've read on Sammobile that Taiwan and India have same firmware numbers.
So maybe i don't need to flash indian firmware with ODIN....what do u think? Should it work this way?
I will test when i have time (i need the phone and i dont have time to waste reinstalling and configuring everything again)....
Before this test i wait other suggestions please...thanks in advance

Hello,
Thanks to this XDA thread and some other sources I was able to compile a list of CSC codes that enable native call recording on Samsung ROMs. This is the list:
Indonesia (XID)
Vietnam (XXV)
Ukraine (SEK)
Israel (ILO)
India (INS)
Thailand (THL/CAM/MYM)
Egypt (EGY)
Bangladesh (BNG)
Laos (LAO)
Libya (LYS)
Nepal (NPL)
Sri Lanka (SLK)
Allergy (TMC/WTL)
Tunisia (TUN)

nice work! it wouldnt surprise me if the sim placed into the phone would make the phone lock to that sims CSC and disable it. Are you able to give it a try and see?

u cant flash firmware of a single particular CSC when its part of multi csc firmware. ure sim will default to xyz specific csc.
there are ways to force or change csc. use search on xda.
You can add India (INS) to that list.
And you need the sim card of the particular country to get the CSC features. When the phone reboots after flashing the OXM firmware, the phone detects the sim card and it will ask for a reboot. Then you will have the CSC features of the country that sim card belong to. Later then the sim card can be switched back and the settings will remain even after reboot.

So does call recording work in Android 9 & 10 since it is disabled by default in Android 9 & 10 ????
On Samsung Note 9 (dual sim) N960F I tried the following roms:
Israel: Too old rom, haven't tried.
EGYPT: NOPE.
TUNIS: NOPE.
INDIA: NOPE.
SRI LANKA: NOPE.
If anyone has any tips on which region shall I try, hit me up...
Somebody knows any of Snapdragon CSCs (ACG, AIO, ATC, ATT,BST, CCT, CHA, GCF, LRA, SPR, TFN, TMB, TMK, USC, VMU, VZW, XAA, XAG, XAS) with call recording support?

So I got call recording on my Note 9, Android 10! YAYYYY!
Well today I paid for SamKey so I could share my experience.
- Original region: XEH (EU/Hungary)
- Base firmware was the latest (March)
- Phone: Note 9 SM-N960F Dual-Sim, 128GB version, factory unlocked.
The process...
PART I: Flashing the base ROM.
- Use "SamFirm" tool to download the latest firmware for a region you want.
- Use Sammobile.com to see which region you need, what is your phone model, etc.
- I recommend using an SSD for this cause it's way faster to work with that in ODIN.
- Use the regular "CSC" file, not the HOME_CSC one.. this will wipe the phone, but it only worked for me this way.
- Once you installed the rom, just enable dev settings, enable ADB, allow your PC.
Part 2: SamKey.
- Bought credits on Samkey (hella expensive.)
- Removed SIM card.
- Flashed latest INDIA [INS] rom (supposedly has call recording).
- set up phone as per instructions, enabled ADB, opened SamKey.
- Changed region to INDIA [INS].
- Reboot, insert SIM.
- Call recording shows up.
My life is complete.
Ps.: First I posted a message saying it did NOT work, but turns out I wrote "IND" instead of INS in CSC field. lol.
Pps.: Changing CSC only costs 1 credit. You can find 3 credits on eBay if you can't afford the bulk option from the main site.
There is also "chimera tool" that supports new(er) phones.. you MIGHT need that one.. uh for me this worked.
I AM NOT ASSOCIATED WITH EITHER, I FOUND THEM TODAY, I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY ARE AS LONG AS THEY WORK.
My KNOX did NOT trip during the process. It's still 0x0.

I dunno, I am still installing my phone but I can't tell any difference so far...
maybe you don't even have to wipe, you could try that too in the name of science.
Also make sure to use a CSC that has call recording. India has it, that's for sure. Israel for example SUPPOSEDLY has it. But if you check Israel for Note 9 on Sammobile, you can see their updates lag behind a lot. I feel bad for the people of Israel... weird thing they get lagged so much. So anyway, check if you are flashing a newer or same version at least. No biggie if you mess up, ODIN will get stuck, you gotta reboot phone into ODIN, start over with a proper firmware pack.
Good luck everyone.
Ps.: Keep this low(ish)...? I realize we are on XDA, and sharing is caring, but honestly I don't know if Samsung will take this method out if it gets "out". Maybe I am just paranoid. Please Sammy if you read this, DO NOT REMOVE this feature. Thank you.

Well im getting this
Samsung Galaxy Note9 SM-N960F INS India N960FXXS5DTB6 firmware
from sammobile ( excrutiatingly slow) i hope i wont get any problems, is this the same Firm you flashed?
And yes i can try to do a flash without wiping just for the science.
Also clarify something to me, you had to use the samkey and pay the credits in order to unlock your phone? or is it needed just to change the region to INS after flashing? i ask this becuse my phone is already unlocked.

- You really use Sammobile only to find out the CSC/Region code you want, and the phone model. Maybe you know both already. I didn't. So I went to Sammobile -> Firmware and checked. You don't need the site further.
- To get the firmware, use "SamFirm". It is a tool.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Make sure "Decrypt automatically" is ticked, and "Check CRC32" is NOT ticked. (this is the default).
For my SM-N960F (Exynos, Dual SIM), I just wrote:
Model: SM-N960F
Region: INS
[CHECK UPDATE]
then
[DOWNLOAD]
- Flashing is really harmless. Can't really trip KNOX, can't do any harm.
- Yes, you must pay for SamKey. The main site has an expensive pack (15 credits), I got that, but ebay has like "pack of 3" keys and whatnot. Try to buy such a pack from a seller with good reputation. I'd just give you credits if I could but I don't think that's possible. I can send you credits apparently on the site. It says I can send you one a day. So make an account on SamKey, and send me your name in private. I'll send you 2-3 credits if you want.

- You really use Sammobile only to find out the CSC/Region code you want, and the phone model. Maybe you know both already. I didn't. So I went to Sammobile -> Firmware and checked. You don't need the site further.
- To get the firmware, use "SamFirm". It is a tool.

Make sure "Decrypt automatically" is ticked, and "Check CRC32" is NOT ticked. (this is the default).
For my SM-N960F (Exynos, Dual SIM), I just wrote:
Model: SM-N960F
Region: INS

- Flashing is really harmless. Can't really trip KNOX, can't do any harm.

1) You messed up the model number.
SM-G9600 is the "global name".
Your phone is.... "SM-G960F" for example.
You can check here: https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s9-8966.php
2) You can use Sammobile and SamFirm, they are the same thing. Just SamFirm is SO MUCH FASTER...
3) Okay, just send me whenever, not in a hurry lol. I want to do the CSC change for my friend's Note 10+, but that still leaves me with a lot of spare credits, don't worry.

well that is the model i get either on the About phone and everywhere else SM-N9600 on gsm arena it says SM-N9600/DS and on the back of the phone itself i can barely see but im sure it says SM-N9600/SS. so what to do next? should i get the SM-N960F file instead?
EDIT: by the way i sent you that PM or at least i think i did, i cant confirm ( not showing on my sent items).

- I am no expert, I'd say install a tool like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
- You can also install the "SamKey" tool (without paying) and it has this function called "Read phone info". That might also tell you. Again, you just install it, run it, and it uses ADB to tell you every little detail.
- Maybe even the ODIN Download mode also tells you...
I THINK you have the SM-N960F - if your phone is a global, dual SIM Exynos variant. But only if you have that. SM-N960U is the Snapdragon variant (USA). "SM-N9600/DS (LATAM, Brazil, China)".
I donwloaded that app you told me.. this is the info...
Samsung
SM-N9600 /Galaxy NOte9
Device type: crownqltechn
country of origin Made in china
Date of fabrication: 2018-12-05
Knox warranty counter: 0x0
thenon the CSC code tab it says..
prodict ID: SM-N9600ZBMMXO
csc code of firmware: TPA
CSC Active code: MXO
CSC avaliable codes: CHO, COO, EON,MXO,PEO, TPA, ZTO; BVO, DOO, GTO, UPO, UYO
CSC country: MExico/MX
Mobile operator: 334020
not sure if the rest is relevant..
So it is a8gb/ 512gb ,Snapdragon variant for Mexico Made in china.
Hello Guys,
I want to change my s21 csc from egypt (EGY/OXM) to ukraine or india for faster updates with call recordings but will that make me lose OTA updates? and i also heard that it may make problems with the mobile network? any suggestions?
Thanks
i think the only way without root it's Chimera
not true. you can change csc with SamFw_Tool_v3.31 .. easy and free
