Hi,
I recently moved to Canada and the 5G doesnt work, no matter what I tried.
I was thinking about to flash the canadian version of the ROM, G871W, considering that it is the same hardware (https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s20_fe_5g-10377.php).
I'd like to know if anyone had the some problem and solution (like that, or any other).
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I bought this off Gumtree and unbeknown to me it was not the UK version. Is there anyway to flash this onto the UK firmware and get rid of the korean apps etc? If I click a number even thought the dialer is set to system it pops up a Korean one which it then states is not supported.
Thanks
Why did you choose this model ?
I think there is a different model released for Europe? G977B if I am not wrong!, the issues you mentioned could be resolved by away or another but you will not be able to activate the 5G capability of the device!. furthermore, as far as I know, no one has proved successful flashing of other models firmware to this Korean model!.
If 5G network is not important for you, then you may be able to customize the phone to meet some of your required customisation.

When I bought it I didn't know it was not the UK model. It's only when you use it more that the differences come up.
My situation might be similar to yours!. however, I was somehow aware of the model and it's possibly shortcomings!, but I was able to modify a lot of features until it becomes almost whats I want except the ability to use 5G feature!.
BTW: Although the phone is KT oriented still you can use it and do some changes that meet your local settings. nevertheless, ultimate changes/customization could be achieved if you can root the device and install custom ROM.
Same Problem of G977N in Qatar

Dear, I have the same phone and my Vodafone Qatar 5G is not working. I am using LTE only. I know how to root and install custom firmware. Can you tell me how you attain 5G working on your korean S10 5G?
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi,
Anyone know of plans for LineageOS support (or other custom ROM's) for this unique model? Most of the ROMs are stock or for the Exynos model - not looking for that.
I'm still using a Galaxy S5 with each new Android OS release (now LineageOS 17.1) - looking to upgrade. The S10 5G Sprint (G977P) model allows bootloader unlocking, has a headphone/mic jack and has a capable notification LED around the front camera (unlike the S20 models). And the S10 5G (Sprint) is much cheaper now on eBay- $500-$600, less for preowned. Plan to use this phone on AT&T bands, despite the chance that 5G may not work well or at all.
Thanks.
Hello guys... i saw few custom kernels from normal s20 and Note 20 Ultra 5G... i quite like my exynos S20 FE but i think it have much more potential in it.. can you answer me if someone is building it? Thanks
Your better of asking in the S20 forums I would think as there is not a lot of dev work happening on the S20FE atm its too new (3 months in the Uk).
I'm wondering if anyone knows if its possible to flash the firmware for a regular S20 5G (SM-G981) to an S20 FE 5G. My phone is from Verizon (SM-G781V) if that matters. They both have the same processor I believe (Snapdragon 865). Only difference is amount of RAM I think. I would think the regular S20 would have more features than the FE version and would like to enjoy them. Thanks in advance.
This would not work, there are many hardware diffences between the two phones even if the basic specsheets look the same. Best case scenario flashing another models ROM would it not installing, worst case a total brick.
Right now there are no 3rd party ROMs (as far as I know) for the S20FE, your two options would be waiting for custom ROMs to come out for the FE or consider selling it and using the money to get a refurb S20.
hi guys, I have a question hope someone can help.
I have a S20 FE 4g snapdragon (G780G) and would like to know if it is possible to flash on it an old firmware of a S20 FE 5g snapdragon.
AFAIK, s20fe 5g snap and s20fe 4g snap are the exact same phones, except for the 5g functionality (modem).
I don't want 5g to work on my 4g version of course, but with old firmwares of the s20 fe 5g (one ui 2.0 iirc) it was possible to hide the punch hole the way I like it (moving the status bar down, system wide) while on the 4g version that came with one ui 3 and newer, that is not possible anymore (you have to hide the punch hole per app basis, so for example in settings app you can't hide it, and you don't move the status bar actually, you can just tint black the existing status bar now).
hence my question, can i downgrade my s20 fe 4g to a old s20 fe 5g version? in theory it should work evertything except the 5g which I don't care about at all, but maybe it won't flash at all or even worse I could brick my phone?
tia if you could help!
firmware from another device and firmware that is also. too old will not be flashed via Odin. if it was flashed your device would be bricked. this is a big NOPE!!!
