N950F/DS - can I use SM-N950F/FD/N roms?

Hi
The N950F/DS as much as I can make out is very similar to SM-N950F/FD/N except for dual sim.
Can you install SM-N950F/FD/N listed roms like say Ironman?
Just pre-planning as will want rom support.
Thanks

As far as I know the N950F/DS is also known as N950FD. This is the same model, just written differently. Now this model is just like the N950F, except it has dual SIM. When I bought the N950FD, I checked the settings menu and it actually says N950F (but again, it has a tray for 2 SIMs, or 1 SIM + 1 SD card). To my knowledge, software for these at least should all be interchangeable. In other words, there is no N950FD or F/DS firmware, just F firmware. The N950N is indeed a different model, so I'll let someone else speak to that one

i have dual sim note 8. Flash custom rom and then back to stock. but now not working sim 2.

Did you flash latest firmware through Odin to get back to stock?

yes.
before flashing to custom rom my device show model n950f/DS. now my device show only n950F

Ok, two more questions...
Did you use 'csc' or 'home_csc' in Odin?
And have you tried to factory reset since flashing stock again?

I am not 100% sure. I suggest asking in the thread of the rom.
Personally, if you have the DS version I would only flash that rom if it has DS in the title, which I don't think Ironman Rom has. (ALEXNDR Rom for example has)
A guy above it seems had the DS version, flashed a rom, I suspect to be one with does not state DS, which has now made it single sim, which I can't help him with..
Yet again, I could be wrong.

@sefrcoko i use only CSC.
in odin i check nand erase

Ok, so you used CSC along with the BL, CP, and AP files, right? That should have wiped your phone and put everything back to stock, but if still not working maybe try a factory reset at this point (backup first of course ).

Desperately Need Help - Samsung SM-N960F/DS + T-mobile PUK and other issues.....

Hi. I am a complete noob when it comes to rooting Android.
**************************UPDATE************************************************
THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED. PLEASE SCROLL TO POST #89 ON PAGE 9 TO SEE THE SOLUTION.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77950935&postcount=89
***************************************************************************************************
I bought an *unlocked* Samsung Note 9 N960F/DS (Exynos 9810) international phone from a seller on ebay brand new and sealed. Received the phone yesterday (10/19/2018) and popped my working existing sim card from my iphone 6 with T-mobile into the new phone and it *worked*.........except no wifi calling.
Since my house has terrible reception I really do need wifi calling in order to receive calls (I use Skype for outbound). I decided to root and install Detonator (tekhd) even though I've never done this before. Somewhere along the line I messed up and installed the latest LUX ROM because I misred Tekhd's guide on Detonator (my fault).
Here's where I stand now: I found a stock ROM for this model (N960F/DS) and reinstalled it using Odin3 v3.13.1.
After a successful flash when I insert my working T-mobile sim I get "SIM network PIN blocked. Enter SIM network PUK."
Here the Service Provider SW shows XEU/XEU,XEU/MYM
I get the *same* message when I insert a spare T-mobile sim I happened to have that was confirmed as available with T-mobile customer service. If I take the working sim out and put it back into the other phone it works without a problem. I think that rules out the sim cards having issues.
Earlier when I had the phone rooted and Detonator installed (and working), I got a different message when I inserted the SIM:
Network Lock: This device can be remotely unlocked if eligible.
Please use the "Device Unlock" application to unlock the device.
Make sure the device has an internet connectivity to use the "Device Unlock application".​
Here the Service Provider SW showed TMB/TMB/MYM.
I tried looking for a T-mobile Unlock App apk to download but could not find a recent one. I would get a "Device not supported" error. It seems T-mobile has taken it off the Playstore.
Now, I can't install a stock USA ROM from T-mobile because those ROMS are only for the Snapdragon versions and I have the Exynos chip. I was given two unlock codes over the phone with T-mobile customer service to try and unlock the Pin lock but they both did not work.
Do you think an unlock service will be able to provide me with a valid "Sim Network PUK" code? I'm happy to pay for the service if I can just get the damn phone working. I've spent almost $770 on this phone and in hindsight should just have gotten the T-mobile branded phone for $100 more. I'm really at a loss as to what I can do to rectify this situation.
Also in hindsight I should have done more research before purchasing the phone and also should have backed up my partition in TWRP........You live and you learn.
The irony here is that I had an unlocked phone.....and now it has somehow gotten locked.........by the carrier whose SIM card is working perfectly fine......in a different phone. The device was paid in full btw.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

this is a first. I always though once the region lock was lifted it couldn't be relocked( to me it seems to be a region lock issue, which if it is you need to make a 5 min call on region soil... good luck)
anyways check on your box there is a sticker with model and serial . find what carrier or region its from and grab that firmware and flash it. might want to factory wipe everything (including cache) in the recovery before booting it up indownlaod mode to do Odin flash.
also remove sim before wiping/ flashing, let it boot and do the initial setup then insert sim.

I did wipe and reinstall the stock rom with the sim removed. The strange thing is..........I get the same message if I insert an old, blank, unused t-mobile sim into the device. Plus the working sim works fine in my old phone. So how could it be that the sim is locked?
There is nothing on the box that says anything about a carrier. This was advertised and sold as a factory unlocked phone which by all indications it does seem to be. The only thing on the box that says anything about country is that it was manufactured in vietnam.

Yes there are stickers. But it is not associated with a carrier, specific region, or country. I just see IMEI info on the sticker on the back of the phone and S/N.

https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-N960F/region/MYM/
did you flash one of these?
these should be the original firmware U1 and the lates U2 which if you flash wint be able to downgrade bootloader but shouldn't be causing rhe sim lock issue.
flash U1 first and see if it fixes your issue. then try the October U2 just for fun
you can also download it using samfirm tool
enter 960F and MYM in settings it should also be a faster download then the web links

ok so it's too late for U1 . ure phone is already on U2 latest bootloader. so flash the October build
but be sure to wipe all with no sim before flashing
and in Odin fill in all slots and for csc use CSC but not HOME csc file.
good luck

yeah might as well use tarp. and erase all. but before, did you sift through internal s or ext s for an efs backup that detonator might have made automatically?
check for a folder called .backup and or for a file like:
efs_backup.img.gz
efs_backup.img
or anything similar

No, but I did download Dr. Ketan's tool to make an efs backup. But that was way later in the process....so it wasn't the original efs directory......It was after I flashed my current "stock" rom. I'm going to try and find another site to download since that one will take 2 days on slow speed......
Btw what does the ZBD mean? MYM I figured is Myanmar......

Note 9 SM-N9600 CSC Change to INS (India) for Enabling Jio VoLTE

Hi All,
Can someone please guide me to a method, if any, to change the CSC of an N9600 model CSC which is currently TGY to INS?
This is to make VoLTE work via the phone dialer instead of using the external Jio4GVoice app.
Is this possible? I know my version is the snapdragon and the Indian version is Exynos 960F or 960FD.
I want to know if the CSC file is processor specific? Can 'only CSC' be flashed via ODIN? If yes, where can i find the CSC files with fast download?
Would it trigger Knox and disable Google/Samsung Pay?

Can someone please provide their inputs?

I don't think this will work because the .PIT or partition file is in the CSC image. You would likely require the entire firmware image set to get the support files, frameworks for the dialer. It is not only a matter of a new CSC / region code change.

So, just for further clarity, I don't want to trip knox or lose samsung/google pay options.
These are my original ROM files:
AP_N9600ZHU1ARJ6_CL14505206_QB20159198_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5
BL_N9600ZHU1ARJ6_CL14505206_QB20159198_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CP_N9600ZCU1ARJ6_CP10967940_CL14505206_QB20159196_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CSC_OMC_TGY_N9600TGY1ARJ6_CL14505206_QB20159198_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_OMC_TGY_N9600TGY1ARJ6_CL14505206_QB20159198_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
I want to know if i could flash the following files in odin and still have knox and other stuff intact?
AP_N9600ZHU1ARJ6_CL14505206_QB20159198_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5
BL_N9600ZHU1ARJ6_CL14505206_QB20159198_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CP_N9600ZCU1ARJ6_CP10967940_CL14505206_QB20159196_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CSC_OMC_OXM_N960FOXM2ARK2_CL14366801_QB20490073_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_OMC_OXM_N960FOXM2ARK2_CL14366801_QB20490073_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
If yes, which CSC should i choose in this scenario, Home_CSC or CSC_? I don't mind a factory reset.
The only thing i'm looking for is to have the CSC changed to a multi-CSC which is the OXM version without tripping Knox and Pay features.
Would the PIT file/partition entries be different in N960F and N9600?
I have noticed the .pit file in the extracted CSC files and they have the model numbers written in it when checked with np++.
Also, would this kind of an inconsistency trip knox?

Bump. Can someone please provide me any info.

As far as I know, there isnt a way to use Snapdragon CSC on Exynos without root, so you will be out of luck, also because CSC file is signed with Samsung key, so cannot flash your own without tripping Knox

Yes i did that and the sim is in slot 1 only i even removed the other sim from sim 2 slot. I did reset the phone twice like you mentioned in the previous post.
What could i be doing wrong? When you say you're able to enable VoLTE, you're not using the Jio4GVoice app for calling and all right?

The thing is i'm unable to find a download for your firmware version N9600ZHU1ARJ3.
Can you please provide me a screenshot of the firmware page in Phone Info app from playstore?

Changing CSC to enable VoLTE and VoWIFI

Hi there,
I'm about to order a Galaxy S10 directly from Samsung since they are way cheaper than what my carrier sell them. But, when I do my carrier tells me that VoLTE and VoWIFI will not work on Android phone bought from other than the one they sell...
I've read a little bit and it seems that I'd have to change the CSC of the phone, I've chatted with samkey about the particular model and it's not supported, because of bit 4 or something like that. Anyways, I've downloaded samfirm and found the firmware for my provider "VTR" but it seems that all firmwares from any provider in Canada share the same thing because what is getting downloaded is a "VLS" and the CSC one is "OYV"

I need advise to modify the firmware or options in my new phone to make it look like it's coming from my provider (Videotron) and when I insert the SIM (with NFC+VoLTE) in it I have a chance that the option will be available.
I'm an IT Specialist, I've flashed my old S7 with those files before with no luck. It's the same story with the S7, bought from Samsung, initialized with an other provider SIM though. Then flashed the phone with my provider CSC got a proper SIM card and I had them enable VoLTE on my line, but the option never showed up. I'd like to be able to enable it on my new phone, that's why I'm doing research before getting my hands on it.

Can't you just download the video tron firmware and flash it to the phone with Odin?

I sure can, just wondering if it's gonna work since last time I did that on my S7 it didn't work.
I downloaded the firmware using SamFirm v0.5.0 for 2 providers, VTR (Videotron) and RWC (Rogers) two very different providers and I compared the two CSC files using sha256 and they are both identical (I didn't test the big 5G files though, but they have the same exact file size). So I'm wondering if I'm even downloading the right thing now. It's probably multi CSC. Then does the stock Canadian Samsung firmware the same as the one I'm downloading?

It should tell you on sam firm what firmware you need to download or if you're running the current stock firmware, then just look in settings to see what base band you're on and go from there. I wouldn't flash rogers if you have another carrier, that may cause some issues.

Thanks I'll look into it a little more when I actually receive the new phone from Samsung. I wasn't going to flash a Rogers firmware, I downloaded it to do a compare and check to see if they actually are identical to VTR ones and they seem to be identical, at least the CSC files are.

many folks have found that buying direct from samsung doesn't guarantee the phone will work.
several on xfinity mobile found out the hard way.

[Guide] How to convert s10-g973N to sm-g973f, change csc from skc to koo or any another, fix emergency calls only. No need of paid apps, boxes etc.

**********This is first time am posting a guide so pardon me. *******
********As usual am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.*******
*****Am not claiming ownership of the above technique, its what worked for me*****
I saw many posts here about people struggling to change csc from skc to koo or international***
Others had issue with their phone suddenly lost network and just displays emergency calls only****
so I have s10 sm-g973n which had csc as koo then flashed skc my mistake. The phone booted with annoying skc boot logo, and branded junk from the carrier. Then one morning the phone couldn't connect to gsm network!
I tried all manner of things to fix it. Rooted with magisk, flashed custom rom nothing.
Tried samkey to change csc still nothing. modified odin in flashing multi csc rom nothing.
Got some luck in changing csc by editing efs/imei/mps_code.dat using root explorer, text editor and vola the carrier junk disappeared. But still no network.
was told only way is to use z3x box or chimera to patch certificate but didn't give up. I posted question here in xda but no guide or response.
But that gave me an idea of what could be the issue- corrupt efs that needs the certificate to be patched. so got keyword.
After watching many YouTube videos I came across a video about a rom that has certificate patched. Just flash with odin and done!
I downloaded and followed the instructions. The phone booted up fine and after going through initial setup the network was back!
Not only did the network came back but the model changed to F, csc became oxm! You can now use tools like Samfw from too to change csc to your local region.
Later in the day, will be flashing firmware with my region csc.
Here is the link to the rom:

Yes sim 2 will work. And after completing flash stock rom for security reasons. Because the above rom is rooted and modified we don't know how secure it is. after network certificates are patched now flash a stock rom from eg sammobile or samfw etc.

When i flash this file the storage becomes 64gb

Hey bro have u found any android 12 rom for g973N ???

Did you find a fix for that? For me the internal memory become 32Gb. Is there a solution for that?

I bought an S10 that turned out to be a G973N(SKC) flashed to G973F-D/S(XSG). I think they used this method and these files to do it. I can't get the OEM unlock option to come up. I've tried everything. I am starting to think that it's because of the XSG country code. I was going to try to change it XEU (Great Britain) in SamFW but it just stalls and doesn't do anything. Any suggestions on what I can do here to change the country code? I need that OEM unlock option so I can degoogle it.

Hi guys,
I have I big problem with this rom man, each time I restart my phone i lost network and I have to reflash your rom and factory reset the phone to get it back. It's like it's forbidden to restart the phone, otherwise my network get lost and IMEI Status NG again.. Is there a fix for that? Thank you. Is there a for that fix?
Or do you guys have a rom based on android 12 for g973n u7 converted to dual sim that can solve this IMei STATUS NG? I watched on youtube some guys that have it but it's not free or I can't pay that from here in my cluntry the poorest country in the world.
Thank you guys.
