[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] zaudy:
Flashed done , thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] owoblow:
Thanks for the post. I followed the steps and was able to change my csc.

I changed from ECT to DBT and thereafter flashed android Pie. But I noticed the moment after I inserted my local sim card and I restarted the phone, the csc info changed from DBT/DTB, DBT/BRI to DBT, ECT, ECT/BRI (before changing it, it was showing ECT/ECT, ECT/BRI) . I was hoping there's a way I can get around having just DBT/DBT, DBT/BRI as it appears my phone is region locked to Taiwan.

I needed a new CST so I can be able to record phone calls (when there is a reason to), a function not available in my home CST - ECT.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
That's perfectly normal.

The first CSC means DBT is active, so you'll have DBT CSC features and you'll get OTAs for DBT.

The 2nd and 3rd CSC are showing the CSC for your SIM card, it doesn't affect OTAs or CSC features. Just keep in mind, if you do a factory reset with the SIM card inserted, it will change back to ECT.

Your phone isn't region locked to Taiwan. If it was, you would be permanently stuck on BRI.

It's the same as for Germany... (TUR is also part of MUlti-CSC OXM)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kadirpasa:
I know but I wanted to install the turkey one to get official OTA automatically without having to do anything. Wouldn't it be easier to just flash the turkey one when it's out?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
Are you getting OTA's now?

If so: you'll also get OTA's when installing the German/Swiss/Italian Pie firmware, because all those CSC's (DBT/AUT/ITV) are also part of Multi-CSC OXM (where yours, TUR, is also part of).

Flash AP BL CP & HOME_CSC_OXM with Odin 3.13.1, and everything will stay the same, your CSC will stay TUR, and you'll get OTA updates...

Oh, and by the way: the OFFICIAL Pie has been released for Turkey (TUR) too! So: why haven't you got it OTA already if your device is TUR?

All OXM-firmwares are exactly the same!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kadirpasa:
I haven't gotten a software update yet but officially 9 is out for turkey. Looking at the picture I attached well I get OTA?

Hi guys,

Does anyone here have call recording feature on their S9+ Exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] omrij:
Works here with official Pie, but not on WIFI calling.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Incarniac:
Yes, however it is likely you have to allow repartitioning for a correct flash of the OXM multi-CSC (which does include NEE from what I can find), and for that to happen you need to use the normal (non-home) CSC. This, in turn, will wipe data and do a factory reset. I think your boot loop is indicative of this, too.

Don't connect any other devices to your PC when flashing your phone. Especially if the other device is also a smartphone.

Also, reinstall Samsung USB drivers as well, just in case it's a driver conflict.

Has anyone with G965FXXU2CRLI problems with SoftBoots (UI crashes)?

It appeard with final version G965FXXU2CRLI and never had it in beta.

Now it happend five times since release of the final version on 24.12.

after two times I flashed the firmware new with odin (AP, BL, CP, CSC_OXM) and set up the device without a backup.

But problem persits. It also happend in different situations. sometimes while using the phone (different apps) one time while I tried to unlock the screen.

The way it happens is always the same.

Screen goes completly black, device is not responding to anything.

After some secounds the status bar comes back with mobile signal strength not aviable.

Some secounds later mobile signal is back and also the complete UI is back and device works like nothing happend.

I definitly know it is a softboot because under Device status the runningtime is still counting (45hours now).

Last softboot was about 3 hours ago.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Any themes, status bar mods, lockscreen mods or custom font running or enabled?

Boot into safe mode and see if it still occurs, and if you can perhaps retrace your steps and let us know what triggers it, or whether it's completely random.

Aside from abysmal battery life, I haven't had any issues with CRLI yet.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Rather than cropping it, you could have just sent a full screenshot of the software information on your phone.

This question has been answered countless times in this thread and on this forum. You don't need to be on a specific firmware to flash the Pie build. Current version doesn't matter at all.

Yes you can flash it, but you may not get OTAs as this build will likely not be released for Pakistan. To continue getting OTAs, you'll have to flash a newer Pie build which will eventually be released for Pakistan in the coming weeks.

Make sure to thoroughly read the first and second post next time before asking questions.

I'm on the last Pie beta (ZRLF). Is it okay to update to the stable version using home_csc? Or is clearing data the only way to make the jump?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
It would be highly recommended to do a wipe when jumping from beta to stable.

Sent from my SM-G965F
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Incarniac:
You can do it (use HOME_CSC and avoid wipe/reset; I did), but it is highly recommended to do a (non-home) CSC flash and a full reset; if you do try HOME_CSC and do encounter any issues then definitely do a full reset flash.

I've discovered that my payment app (Barclaycard) doesn't seem to stay in the background and keep asking me for login to use it, and this is likely to do with going from beta to stable without a full flash. I'm going to one at some point, just not right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kxdaorbit:
Not too sure this is the case. We have this app on my Note 8 (Exynos, Oreo 8.0) and my daughter's Note 9 (Exynos, Oreo 8.1) and it has the same behaviour as you've outlined.

I actually think it's part of the security feature of the app, that once it loses focus, it's booted from memory and you won't even see it in 'Recent'.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Incarniac:
Interesting. When I used it on Oreo it was working fine, and was running with a permanent notification when not the active app. That doesn't happen anymore, so payments fail unless I log in every time.

Maybe that's changed (been a few months since I used it as on the beta it kept crashing) and that's now required?

(It always did get removed from recents once you exited the app itself.)

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kekela:
I flashed CRLI through Odin on my SEE device and it is working flawlessly. I have a few questions if someone would be kind to answer them.

1. So, I was on SEE and in the multi_csc document it says SEE is supported. In the About Phone it says SEE/SEE, SEE/SEE. Does that mean that I will get OTAs when SEE receives them? I'm asking because on Oreo I didn't get the latest one (BRK3), but thankfully it was so close to Pie release that I skipped flashing the whole ROM again (and this is what would be my next question).

2. Every time an update arrives for DBT and I don't wanna wait till SEE receives it (assuming the answer to the previous question is that I can get OTAs) do I need to flash the whole 4GB ROM with home_csc or is there a way to flash only the update?

Thanks for the answers in advance. Love Android 9 so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
I can not say this enough, please read the FAQs in the first post before asking. A good amount of this thread is full of repeat questions.

1) You will only get OTA if CRLI is released for SEE. If a newer build is released for SEE, you will have to flash that first, and then you will continue getting OTAs. Otherwise your phone will always show 'Up to date' when you check for a software update.

2) If an update is released for DBT, and you want to flash it, you have to flash the whole ROM with HOME_CSC, there is no way to install JUST the update.

There is no changelog since CRLN isn't being pushed to existing Pie users.

The changelog for users in Israel who are jumping directly from Oreo will just get the standard Pie changelog.

Besides, Samsung has the most vague changelogs in the world so it wouldn't show you anything meaningful anyway.
