Which CSC would you guys recommend for the N950F/DS using in Canada? I'm using the Taiwan BRI BQK6, and when I try to use Samsung Pay its all in Chinese. Is it even possible to get Samsung Pay working in Canada with the N950F/DS? Also I'm on Koodo, Band is 1700/2100 MHz (AWS). Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
No it's not possible to use Samsung Pay with the 950F in Canada due to the lack of a Canadian CSC for that model.

What live focus features? I have both downloaded.... which one is better in your opinion..?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Something to do with the portrait mode / live focus in the camera app. BQK6 includes that while AQK9 doesn't.

However, AQK9 is being pushed to almost everyone whereas BQK6 was only released in Taiwan.

People are reporting signal strength related issues with BQK6, so flash at your own risk.

[MENTION=2743227]gee2012[/MENTION] Thank you. Did you flash CSC (and thus reset) or home_csc? For me, I am getting epdg has stopped, when flashing from K6 to K9 with home_csc. Any way around that?

What would be the easiest way to recover after a reset? Is the Samsung cloud restore any good? Is it restoring app data as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gee2012:
No, i flashed the Home_CSC but before the flash i did a factory reset and rebooted to the bootloader and flashed the XEF rom. And Samsung Cloud backup service is amazing to be honest, it restores everything including user apps (even XDA so non-Playstore apps) except the themes and icons i used before. Restoring everything takes about 20 minutes give or take. It doesn`t restore all the passwords in sensitive apps like banking, Netflix, etc etc apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] corwin_amber:
[MENTION=2743227]gee2012[/MENTION] Good to hear. Why did you factory reset but then use home_csc? You did a factory reset in recovery, right?

Do you first use Google restore for the apps and then Samsung for app data? Or only Samsung?

I use Google and Samsung both to restore apps, but Samsung is much faster and they do not interfere with each other. I factory reset because the EU and Taiwan rom don`t mix well (especialy from BRI to XEF/PHN etc.)and causes FC`s all across the board as i experienced before.

Please see the attached screenshot for more details.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] StevePritchard:
I think to be clear, it would appear that flashing BQK6 --> AQK9 is going to cause problems because although the "K9" would appear to be higher than "K6", this only relates to the build date, and not the contents.

The Changelist of BQK6 is 12472670, whereas the Changelist of the "later" AQK9 is only 12007350. Downgrading is rarely successful without a full reset, and I think this will be the cause the force closing errors.

The bottom line is that BQK6 is still the "latest" ROM, by which I mean it has the higher Changelist, and therefore more changes.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mihailol:
I was wondering why a lot of people are trying to downgrade to AQK9?

K9 might be "higher" than K6, but that's not the whole build name, or at least my understanding is that the last four letters are. From what i've seen they always go incrementally, as BQK6 is newer than AQK9. Am I missing something?

On a side note: I upgraded AQI1 (BGL) to BQK6 (BRI) with HOME_CSC, everything worked fine and all data was preserved.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fonix232:
BQK6 has some adverse effects on the GSM radio - I myself have noticed a considerably worse battery life, while I'd get 2-3% drop overnight (from midnight till 7:30AM), with BQK6 I'm getting 15-20% drop in the same period, with no new apps or any changes.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gee2012:
Seems my batterylife got a bit better after flashing N950FXXS1AQK9 on my PHN device, also better reception then on non-PHN roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] StevePritchard:
No, I don't think you are.

I *think* it goes like this...

B - This is an indicator associated with the Changelist revision. A is the first released changelist, B is the second revision, C the third, etc, etc

Q - This is the year indicator. Q is 2017, next year will be R.

K - This is the month indicator. K is 11th letter of the alphabet, and represents November.

6 - This is the revision within the specified Year and Month.

If there's a new Changelist version in December, I'd expect it to be CQL4 (or some other number on the end); C = Revision, Q = 2017, L = December, 4 = version within December 2017. A release in January might be named DRA9; D = Revision, R = 2018, A = January, 9 = version within January 2018.

This means that the last three characters are associated with the date the build was put together, rather than the "uptodatedness" of the ROM. That's primarily driven by the first character of the 4, as you suggest.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fonix232:
Your assessment is correct, except for the first letter. Previously Samsung used the first letter of the four to mark major OS updates. Each phone had the initial firmware (e.g. 7.0 in case of S8, 7.1 in case of Note8) marked as A, then first big update was B (in our case it would be 8.0/8.1), and so on. It's pretty weird that Samsung changed that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
Correct...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] StevePritchard:
Yeah, agreed. I was just basing the first letter on observation as it's different to other devices which have used the letter to indicate the Android version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fonix232:
And even I was wrong, I just checked the S7 updates - A and B were 6.0.1, and D was 7.0. So it's not exactly linear, might be related to Samsung Experience updates then?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
You were correct; maybe Samsung has changed something...

This FW is currently on the test phase:

N950FXXU2BQKG.DM/N950FOXM2BQKG/N950FXXU2BQKG

Now we have "1BQK6", that's "2BQKG"...

"Oreo" or still "Nougat"?

We will know soon... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mihailol:
Thanks for the detailed explanation!

Last night I left it without charging to test that and it dropped about 4% in 8 hours. AOD is turned off during the night and I use battery saving on most of my apps. Might be some difference on the network?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fonix232:
Since the latest Oreo updates are CQxx, I'd say it's still Nougat.

My question is: this is also for Note 8?

You only lose warranty if you flash non stock roms, recovery's or kernels. B-sides that branding is both enabled in the soft and hardware of the device.
