Samsung firmwares test versions - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hello. Searching on Google I randomly found (I don't know how) this website https://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/ITV/SM-N960F/version.xml . It is like a list of all RELEASED firmwares for any device and csc (in this case, my Note9 ITV). I also found https://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/ITV/SM-N960F/version.test.xml , that is instead a list of test/unreleased firmwares. Like we are now with CSA7 released, but in that list there are CSA9 and CSAB already. Near every "line" there is also the "filesize", so they are actually existing packages. How can I download those firmwares? I tried to download them manually with SamFirm, but it doesn't find them (it finds only the released firmwares). Is there a way to obtain those firmwares?
NB: Sorry for my English
Thank you in advance for any reply!

You can't. That site merely shows what is being tested internally at Samsung.

Official Asus Support Page

If you have trouble to find the official page of Asus Driver and Updates for the TF701 (like i have) here is the link for it
http://www.asus.com/support/Download/28/1/The New ASUS Transfomer Pad/32/
You might ask "ok,but why a Thread?" ... well, because not everyone has the Asus.COM page as standard,and the other regions still dont have a support section (or even a TF701 section at all, which is for example in Germany quite strange .. you can buy it since 3 weeks but Asus.de claims this tablet doesnt exist?)
As you can see on the page there are already some Firmwares released (even a new one i dont have myself).
Always remember to download and use the WW Firmware (stands for World Wide),except you are from US,Japan,Taiwan or China.
There is also some other stuff you might need, for example (for future developing) the Unlocker.
Hope it helps

Mine did no OTA from .45 to .47 until today (November 3) so I downloaded it from Asus und did a manual upgrade - fine until now :good:
For manual updgrade: Download the .zip from Asus and unzip it once (it's a ZIP inside the ZIP). Put this new .zip now best on a microSD (or the root of the tab itself) and when inserting the card the tablet will state that there is an available system update

Same here, no release notes on the 3 (!) firmwares released since I own the TF701T. Either Asus is listening very good to first customer complaints or they are still working on the firmware themselves... chose what you think
Anyway, I am very happy with it! :victory:

Well, there's really not that much to do. When the firmware is available for your customization, people with locked bootloaders will be able to download the update via SEUS to either flash it directly or create an FTF file.
Until the firmware is cleared for launch in your region though, there's nothing that anyone can do to magically make it appear. That's just the way it works :/

Yeah because I tried one I can read/write arabice but I can't set the UI arabic.

This really isn't Sony's fault. Usually OEMs will have firmwares ready for everyday use (with some bugs though), only weeks after the release of a new Android version. The time between then and the actual OTA release of the firmware to the community is spent partially on fixing these bugs,but mostly on geting the firmware certified in each country around the world. This certification procedure includes testing of the WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC and everything else that has to meet a certain standard. Unfortunately, not all of these tests are standardized, meaning that a lot of certifications has to take place in each country respectably, since a lot of countries have different demands to approve the firmware. (This is the main reason for the delay between different regions, since different countries finishes these tests at different times)
When this LONG procedure is done, you might have a carrier that wants to add some software (aka bloatware) to the firmware before they also approve its release. It is not until then that the actual firmware for your region will be available for download, so as you can see, the process of releasing new firmware is quite an extensive one.

watch 3 lte - Combination file vs old flash

Hy guys
I have not yet bought the watch but I have searched this subforum for all possible information and I have many doubts.
Assuming that I am chooising the lte version, the purchase will be bound to the possibility of ecg, SP02, BP.
I would buy the Italian version, but I consider other recommended version
i have reject the way to install the two mod apk & tpk by caravana( and the sequent updates) respectively for ecg & BP because i read of many updates & sync issues.
I know that in italy there are the sw update that introduce this features....but there are only for not lte version
Taking on that the right way for me is change country (CSC) ( This Is The way :cyclops: )
So we come to the questions:
-Which country i must switch for the correct working of ecg, SP02, BP, Spay?
-Why i can't change country without the use of combination file? I'm a ex Samsung user and i remember that I use only csc ap bl cp for the flash what are change? I don't underestand.
Thank you for the clarifications.
Thanks again.
Hello, i'm an italian LTE version owner's, i installed the two mod apk & tpk by caravana without any issue and they work wery well. Only thing i miss is the SPO2 reading!
I also would like to understand how to mod the watch in a reversible way without losing guarantee (i don't know if there is any knox counter or similar), continuing to use Spay and italian e-sim.
But why Samsung has never update this version yet????
Probably this workaround ( the two mod app for BP & ecg) will have issues when you update the Samsung healt monitor o Samsung Healt or the tizen.
An issue already present is the lack of sync BP.
It isn't a stable solution.
But if we change the country i think that we can Spay,BP,ecg & Sp02 work correctly in the watch.
If we flash a standard firmware from other region i think that there aren't issues with knox. BUT... i don't understand why the xda's users use just this magical "combination file".
For first we should find the perfect europe country where all these features work in correct way.
After this we can flash the firmware, csc, & co ....But i think that there's something i'm missing
I have bad feeling about the Samsu.g update...you know that in non LTE version there is a update that switch on all the feature?....
Thank you
i have study the situation.
I have seen that there are the combination file also for the lte version.
being able to choose, i would buy the OXA version...but u know...it's impossibile know the csc version before the purchase...
So i have the BIG question:
- i need use the combination file to install the fw OXA with NetOdin? Or i can simply flash the files?
The doubt comes to me because everyone posts this guide which is also the method with which the old device was flashed
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78800094&postcount=7
-are there people who have had issue with BP, ecg & co? Like not precise or total wrong measure, i don't interest a millimetric precision.
Thank u.
Up..
Pls

You can use multiple sites like sammobile, updato, yourmobile and probably others.
If you want to use a software for downloading samfirm_reborn is my recommandation as I used it for all my devices and it never failed.

Well actually I've no idea, but perhaps it helps looking here:
Samsung CSC Codes List (All) | Change CSC on Samsung Devices
Today, we'll explain Samsung CSC codes. Besides, we also have a list of CSC codes or region codes with a method to change CSC on Samsung.
www.droidviews.com
or
Samsung Firmware Region Code – RomFirmware
romfirmware.com
when searching for China you'll get several resultats.
I guess these all contain simplified chinese but am not sure.
Which firmware are you using right now? CSC should be possible to find out with that name.
PhoneInfoSam by vndnguyen app can give (needing root access) you the CSC you're using right now as well.

Question Need advice for the G998U/DS and living in France

Hi guys,
I need advice for the s21 Ultra that i bought on Rakuten. In the description the seller said it was an international/US version and at this time I didn't know that it could cause problems knowing that I live in France. I have the G998U/DS version
For now the phone is working perfectly. I don't have all the problem i can see in other thread like the broken GPS, a poor network, wallet broken etc. Everithing is ok.
But i need advice for the last update with Android 13. Actually i get the Android 12. And of course the phone does not offer me any updates. I know this is because i have a US version and i live in France.
So question 1 : Do you think I will eventually get the update in the future ?
Question 2 : If I install the update by flashing the phone, won't I have all the problems that others have with this us version and living in France ?
Thanks for your support fox.

Hi,
If everything is working out of the box, then you shouldn't worry much. It's always better to install the update via OTA. It doesn't matter where you live/use the device, as long as there's an update for your device (Snapdragron chipset and CSC), it should automatically show up. If you want to install the update manually, then it's better to download the official update via Frija and install the update via Odin.
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your answer. It help me a lot.
About the update, i read everywhere that where we live/use the device is impact the update. For now i don't have any update that show up. I am in Android 12 and i should have the android 13 update.
Lot of people said that i probably never had the update because it's an import us version and live in France.
What about that ? Do you thinks i will get the update in the future ?
Thanks again
It seems you are on a March update. I have a feeling your device's was a locked device which was then unlocked...I could be wrong through...https://samfrew.com/model/SM-G998U/ Here's what I could pull up regarding your device's update. You need to careful on which file you download as I don't see any OXM ROMs for US devices...they are provided by carriers.
Ok,
I think in my case, update will not be possible. I'll stay in Andoird 12 until next phone. Never buy again in Rakuten ahah.
Thanks for all your help.

Just try and not working but that was a good idea
When i chek on Frija, he give me this :
What do you think about this update ?
Edit : this firmware contains these files
If you are sure of the CSC, go ahead. The reason is yours is not OXM rom so you have to be extremely careful when choosing the files.

Ok, thanks, i think i'll do the update.
To be sure, you mention a OXM ROM but i can see that i have o OYN rom like you see in this screen :
I really can't place the device's region. There's no region called GCF in Samfrew. I feel it's a subset of another region. Dunno
Finally I did not dare to flash my phone, I am too afraid that I can not use it anymore
Anyway, thank you very much for your help
