5G Unlocking Indian bands in S23U SM-S918N(Korean variant)

[Aur321]

I had purchased a S23 Ultra from korea, I came to understand that the Indian 5G bands are software locked in this variant eventhough this phone has the hardware to support Indian bands.

Is there any workaround or is there a current working way to unlock all bands in software.

Also , will a custom rom with custom kernel fix the issue?

Not possible for now. Unless you find a way to change CSC of your device and that process can even leave your phone bricked.

Hey, is this exclusively for S23 ultra? The post doesn't mention any specific model it seems. I have an S22 ultra SM 908N from Korea and 5G doesn't work in India.

Follow these steps u can change the csc very easily without bricking ur device

Indian and global variants have 2 physical Sims, whereas the Korean variant has sim+e-sim , will changing CSC (if possible through the above method) have any impact
