There is a new Australian voda firmware in sammobile. It seems like there are a lot update in the changelist. I have flashed the firmware but is yet to find any difference. Would really be glad if someone can help to point what's the difference other than the baseband and modem version.
In settings > about device, what is your Android Secuirty Patch date, if its December it will carry the 24 Security fixes as outlined on the Samsung Secuirty Blog.

Yes it is December. ..
Just to share another finding...I found an extra option which is not available in the previous xsa Australia version for VoLTE call. You can find this under setting and mobile networks.
Kuailan, which model do you have? I have SM N920I & no updates?

As I have mentioned in my first post, you will need to go to sammobile web site (you cant just check update for your phone manually). The firmware is for 920I model but it is a Vodafone released. My phone is 920I but it was Australian XSA flashed firmware initially but I have updated to this firmware now.
Australia models have VOLTE? Can you screen shot this for me please?

As I have said in my previous xsa Australia firmware I don't have this option. However once I flashed the updated voda firmware I have this option.
One important thing about this new firmware and funny at the same time:
All European languages enabled by default and somewhere deeper in CSC it says for Italy
EDIT: It seems to break TWRP recovery atm - Philz works.
Yes, all European languages enabled but i don't have VOLTE.
I have an international version of n920i (so no carrier firmware), can I apply the update and still be carrier free?

You can still apply the update. I don't think applying Voda firmware will mean it will lock your phone down to voda.

I don't think it will be locked to Voda but that it wipe everything or that it will load my note with Voda bloatware

Flashing firmware will not erase any data..all your stuff will be in tact. The only bloatware you probably get is only the voda app. But you can disable it...I have checked there is nothing else.

Bro...why don't do the simple one...just use Odin and flash. It won't trip the knox anyway. Just make sure it's latest version of Odin ...otherwise won't work.
I have never flash through kies...but I'm pretty sure it won't affect your data. Just when you receive Ota update on the phone. Installing them won't erase your data.
many thanks!:good:

Hi.
I need to remove all Bloatware, from my Note9
I think one way to do it, is installing the N960U1 Firmware (USA unbranded)
Reading on the Internet and watching videos on YouTube, I obtained the following procedure:
My Note9:
Model: SM-N960U (AT&T)
FW: N960USQS1ARI5
1- Flash Stock Firmware (N960USQS1ARI5) and make a Wipe Data/Factory Reset
2- Flash CSC from Firmware (N960U1UEU1ARJ5)
3- Flash COMBINATION File (COMBINATION_FAC_FA81_N960USQU1ARG4)
Enter - Menu - Factory IME
Press *#243203855#
Select CSC = XAA (in my case)
Reboot
4- In ADB Shell, enter the following command: echo "XAA" > /efs/imei/mps_code.dat
5- Flash Stock Firmware (N960U1UEU1ARJ5)
6- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
7- Done
This is a summary procedure (without details), but...It is right?
I have a doubt with step 4...
Why is it done?
Is it necessary to do it?
Thank you.
Flashing stock firmware isn't going to help, there will be no Samsung provided Firmware without the bloat.
To remove the bloat, it's actually much easier than before, thanks to these recent versions of Android.
All you need to do is open an ADB Shell and paste in the contents of the quoted text in the first post in this thread. This will disable almost all bloat but personally, there are a couple parts of the bloat I like to keep, so I omit a few of the lines.
What bloatware are you wanting to remove?

I agree with you, "Flashing stock firmware is not going to help"...but, I will change from custom to Operator to un-customized.
and Maybe later, the list (Galaxy Note 9 Bloatware Removal Thread) that you mention can be shorten a little more.

Correct. Just flash the U1 firmware. If you're on ATT theres no reason to mess with the CSC. You wouldn't want to anyway.

Yep, I flashed the U1 non-carrier specific firmware with the patched Odin yesterday. Absolutely no problems, ATT 4G LTE still works (even a little faster than before), Wifi Hotspot now works, and no ATT bloatware anymore (I re-installed Visual Voicemail from ATT, that is the only ATT specific app i have now). I even got two or three OTA updates for security right away.

Your answers are in his photo he attached. He obviously has the ATT carrier-branded Note 9 model N960U, same as you.
He flashed software build N960U1UEU1ARJ5.

what others said is correct, just flash u1 in modified odin and ull be on xaa with little or no bloat..
the dialer code is nice to do it on the fly.. u can use it to only apply network settings or change the brand or both..
the adb commands are not needed at all.. i also am pretty sure they dont work at all (permission denied) on note 9..
keep in mind pie builds are different.. i dont think it matters what u flash, it changes based on sim inserted.. the csc code also doesnt work on latest pie builds so no way to change it up unless u put in another sim card.. i think one of the earlier pie builds i was on the csc dialer code worked..
on latest pie build i notice a new line in dl mode, anyone by chance know what "KG Status" is?

Re-Partition (with PIT file)
Nand Erase All
When is it recommended to use those options?

Search here through the forums. The files are linked in a few threads, as are the instructions.
You could just Google ODIN instructions and find it.
N960W, Snapdragon (so no root / bl unlock)
I flashed the Oreo FW after trying the Pie fw from ATT (link was around here somewhere - it required flashing in Odin as well as a local recovery zip flash - two separate files)
Now Odin fails and the phone shows "An error has occ ured while updating the device software" and wont boot. I've downloaded and am trying to flash the official pie update originally for my phone that just came out a few days ago (N960WVLU1CSAA or something like that)
Are you using the patched ODIN? If so it should work just fine. Try a factory reset in Recovery, then boot directly to Download mode and flash it again.

Yea I'm using the patched version.
I will try this next. I flashed the ATT oreo and then XAC version but didnt include CSC this time and it flashed but it boot loops.
I'm currently flashing all of XAC and if it fails then I will reflash ATT oreo, factory reset in recovery and dirctly flash xac oreo.

Odin (patched) gets right to the end and fails, followed by the download mode error mentioned earlier.
I can successfully flash ATT fw 8.1.0 (AT&T_N960USQS1ARJA), but cant flash anything else (Canadian XAC 8.1.0 or Pie).
I am contemplating downloading and flashing the ARL1 fw from the same att source

sounds like a bad download. Re-download your Canadian firmware and try it again.

I started off with the Roger's fw for 8.1.0 and wanted to try pie so I followed a guide to flash some pie build which I believe was the UK version, and when I realized I hated it, i had to follow a guide to revert back to oreo but a different source, thatz where the at&t oreo fw came from.
Now, i want to revert back to the official fw for my phone so i can choose to officially ota to pie, which is not possible right now because I'm stuck on at&t oreo, and pie just became available for me.

To download it.
The reason I was avoiding this was because Canadian carrier versions (including the Roger's fw) don't seem to have mobile data and hotspot toggles and they also have unnecessary bloat, so I figured if I'm gonna flash a fw, I'll just flash the full Canadian unlocked fw to stay away from bloat and carrier restrictions.

What is your CSC? I'll check SamFirm myself tonight or tomorrow.
Ok so I re-downloaded the Canadian XAC Pie FW, did a factory reset (via recovery), and then Odin (patched) flashed the XAC Pie fw, and guess what!!! PASS.
It must have been a bad download this entire time, or possibly the issue was that I unchecked the option CRC32 in SamFirm.

use your last valid twrp backup from before the issue to restore:
carrier configs (odm)
efs
also when you flash full stock, use csc.md5 and not home_csc.md5 as CSC file.
it migh be good to research what the very latest firmware files are for your device. there should be a july update somewhere. so use that and try again.
if you want and try to fix ure csc issue try to flash zip in:

ure flashing older firmware rev 2 on a bootloader revision 3 firmware phone.
u cant downgrade to 2 or 1. u have to flash 3 and up firmware.
u can search and read all about it if u take the time.
So after a bit of research it looks like it is not possible to flash stock att firmware to the n-960n. Does this sound right. I'm leaving Korea and will be going back to att when I get home.

Not officially, no. However I don't think samsung pay will work in the US on a Korean Note9 anyway, so if you unlock the bootloader and root you can flash a CSC changer to get all of the ATNT features (including voLTE/voWIFI). You will void your warranty and lose knox/Samsung Pay.

you can't flash snapdragon firmware on a exynos device. but regardless, just pop the sim and be happy. no need to change CSC for voice and data.
but if you do root as the suggested then you can get the additional csc features by flashing a csc pack.

Exactly which CSC pack can I use and where do I get it?
I am in the exact same situation: Korean SM-G960N, rooted, on AT&T's network with Android 9.
Do I extract the CSC from the latest SM-G960U1 file and flash that with Odin? Can I use an Android 10 CSC on an Android 9 phone?

Are you looking for AT&T specifically? Cause from what I know they don't release them. I used N960U since the 1 is the unlocked version software. Sorry I can't be much help beyond what I know of AT&T files. Best of luck.

Thanks for the respopnse. Well the link from SamMobile has the CSC in it. I tried to flash the HOME_CSC file via Odin and the Odin PrinceComsy version (I don't think this works on Android 8) and it would not flash.

The last 2 times I updated I used the Comcast files to update my note9 i got from AT&T i am currently on the newest release this way and everything seems to work at least the limited options I use from AT&T.
Hey all
Strange one here, i have a SM-G977B (S10 5G on EE UK), i have unlocked it and trying to flash BTU firmware on it via ODIN (download fw from sammobile)
It flashes ok and passes but when phone starts up its CSC is TEL! (Australia!!)
I have re done the flash with XEU and still the same. firmware version says TEL/TEL/EVR in settings
any ideas on this? can this model be flashed to a different region? i want it on BTU not EVR (EE UK)
tried few versions of ODIn too, and left all check boxes default
Thanks
ok, i have reflashed the latest EVR firmware back to the phone and it has taken this fine
Wonder why it doesnt like BTU or XEU?
What firmware files were you trying to flash specifically?
Sounds like you downloaded the wrong one. What are the names of the firmware files you flashed?

Hi
Tried these
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/firmware/SM-G977B/BTU/download/G977BXXS2ASJ7/299842/
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/firmware/SM-G977B/XEU/download/G977BXXS2ASJ7/299840/
The above all flash on in Odin, but when the phone starts (even with uk sim in the phone) it defaults to Australia language and 2x Telstra apps install automatically, software info says tel/tel/evr
I then tried this one:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/firmware/SM-G977B/VOD/download/G977BXXU2ASJ5/299590/
And the above install the 2x Vodafone uk apps automatically which is fine as I am on Vodafone uk but in software Info is still says vod/vod/evr
What my issue is now is I don’t seem to get 5g on this phone even though I’m on a a 5g contract and has worked previously on a note10+ 5g handset.
Is this handset 5g modem locked to ee?

Did you enable OEM unlock in developer options before flashing?
I am waiting for delivery of an EE branded S10 5G tomorrow and planned to flash BTU firmware

OK, well I have always had to do that to change CSC via FW flash since the S9 range was released in 2018.
I am waiting for postman to deliver my S10 5G today so will try to flash BTU with OEM Unlock enabled, and let you know the outcome.
(If it doesn't work for me, i will do same as you and flash a network specific FW via Odin - H3G is my network provider).

If you go to software information in settings, does it say h3g/h3g/evr?

Yes exactly. My product code is also SM-G977BZAAEVR, so its always going to be an EE UK handset
Hello,
I have the same phone (SM-G977B), I exchanged it with someone in Shanghai (without a box, stupid me)
It was rooted with some CHC firmware (which did not let me download any Google play services), I tried to root the phone (my first time) and ended up re-locking the bootloader.
Later on, while trying different things, I ended up deleting the firmware from TWRP (as I formatted the data, cache folders/directories) as it was not booting up (bootloop on Samsung logo).
Long story short (and rather sad and stupid):
I have a brick phone which has no SD card slot, No OS installed, I do not know the original CSC (except that it was bought in some country in Europe), other firmwares does not flash with Odin (gives me Repartition error failed error), I am unable to mount the device (thought I could transfer the firmware using MTP), I can not change TWRP (downgrade or upgrade) as disk won't mount (for some reasons). I have formatted the disk, changes its format to ext4, ext2 etc.
Any ideas?
