Great news !

I just got myself a S9+ from a Korean colleague in the office. He said he prefers to move to the OPO 6T because he can it there cheap. So I did a great deal on the S9 + he had (350euros).

This is was last Friday, before he left.

I was searching how to update this s9 + to Pie (im coming from a OPO 1 guys! )

Phone specs: SM-G965 N with Exynos 9810

BAND: G965 NKOU1 ARJ1

SK Telecom ROM - South Korean

I'm located in Portugal and the phone is working fine at the moment.

Im just wondering if its ok to flash the German ROM and if it will be any problem using it in Portugal. I guess not, because this working fine now

Thanks and merry Christmas to everyone from sunny lisbon

nothing i noticed so far it's all the samw wit the same issues with the last beta

1- the keyboard pace above the navigation bar

2- play store while downloading it doesn't show the notification

3- camera is not like the OREO i feel it needs work

4- no Manual video recording option
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
No, that's not OK: you can't flash "International" -F- firmware on a Korean "N"-device!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kadirpasa:
So for s9 plus I have to download the one shown in the picture?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Vapochilled:
Thanks for the info Henklbr

But isn't the hardware the same ? I mean, just wondering why we wouldn't be able to flash any SW on the same HW (im just commenting from the technical perspective) .

Really disappointed if I really cant :( Whats your recommendation then ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Unfortunately the partition sizes are different, while the hardware may be the same, the ROMs are different on the F and N devices.

You can flash a custom ROM that will allow you to choose a CSC of your choice, then you can select Germany and use features like VoLTE, WiFi calling and 4G+, however Samsung Pay will not work once you root your device so keep that in mind.

Yes. Download and flash with Odin.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Vapochilled:
Thanks for the info! I'm gonna do that. So, you mean to say I can go with a custom ROM, meaning TWRP, root, change of CSC and so on, and after that, I can go to this official Pie ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Well, not really. You'd have to do all that, but I'd suggest waiting first for a custom ROM to be fully rebased on the latest stable Pie build and then flashing that ROM.

You can't flash a stock ROM directly.

Did you guys get a bit heating after you guys play game after updating to latest stable pie?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] madvinegar:
First of all, a big thank you to everyone that supported this project, i.e. capturing the updates and sharing the zip files in this thread.

I downloaded and flashed the CRLI via ODIN. All went well. I used the simple SCC (not Home_CSC).

I have two questions:

1. Does this mean that now I am officially back in official software and so I will be receiving the next updates via OTA?

2. I am currently abroad, i.e. not in the country of my sim card. (more specifically the sim card is Greek but currently I am in Switzerland). So the card is on roaming now. Nevertheless I had my laptop with me so, as I said, I flashed the official update via ODIN. My csc used to be eur/eur/itv/itv. Now I see that it is eur/eur/eur/itv. Is that a problem? Will that affect at all receiving the next OTAs?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
When this Pie-build is released in Greece too (EUR), you'll receive OTA's...

Because I'm not able to use samsung pay and VoLTE in current region's firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] andrew81:
Hi guys, I know many people are wanting to change the CSC on their S9 for things like VoLTE, Samsung Pay, or debranding and it's not working. However I was successful on my SM-G960F/DS by entering *#272*IMEI1# into the dialer (you can get your IMEI1 by dialing *#06# and writing it down). This no longer works when I enter it now, but it did before so it may be that it can only be done once after flashing or it may depend on timing or sequence of events, etc. I had flashed the phone in ODIN with the local carrier FW I wanted (adding all four files including the CSC file and NOT the HOME_CSC). I was hoping to use a local SIM card to change the CSC. No matter what local SIM I inserted it wouldn't prompt me to change even though these carriers are all contained in the Multi-CSC OXM.

Then I flashed the corresponding firmware of the last CSC that is listed under Service provider SW ver. So xxx/xxx,xxx/XXX which for me, was XSP, so I flashed the Singapore XSP firmware, then set it up (not sure this is needed, didn't add Google account etc.) to confirm it still wasn't going to allow me to change CSC using local SIM card (my local carrier FW as well as the XSP FW contains the same Multi-CSC OXM file). So then, I was going to just set the phone up on its current CSC and forget about changing it so flashed back the local carrier firmware (the only difference in the local carrier FW and the XSP FW files was the CP file).

So I quickly set the phone up again (not adding Google account etc.) and it was still stuck on its original CSC. Powered it off, came back a day later and powered on, entered *#272*IMEI# and it brought up a list of CSCs and I selected the one I wanted, hit Install, phone reset/rebooted and I set it up this time on my preferred CSC. Now it has the localised carrier splash screen, apps etc. So it IS definitely possible, and also possible to get a CSC that is not of a carrier, like XSA or XEU etc. but the process to get there is unknown or at least intermittent.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sharavan21:
Nope... Everything is still the same.

~Black Crushes are still noticeable at lower brightness

~Battery drain by Android System is still high

I guess the update is just security patches from Google. No under the hood improvements or bug fixes yet.

Can anyone provide me boot.img?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ianmacd:
Interesting. I just had a look at a few very dark images on my S9+, and laid it side by side with my S8+ for comparison. If there's any difference at all in image display quality, then it's a very small difference in favour of the S9+. I certainly see no banding or graininess, though, which were phenomena also mentioned in the reports. Perhaps not all units are affected.

As for battery life, my S9+ is performing on a par with my S8+, but it could just be that my configuration and usage pattern don't happen to tickle the bug, if there even is a bug to speak of. This last point is important, because nowhere do I see an acknowledgement of the problem by Samsung. Unless the bug is recognised as such by the manufacturer, a fix is unlikely to be imminent.

This is the info I found about using a combination file to change CSC in the post S7 world. This is from an S8 thread by yojosefo:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
No harm in trying.

Worst case scenario, soft brick and you just flash stock firmware to get back to square one.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Genebaby:
I'm downloading it now and I will give it a go as I've already soft bricked my phone today after uninstalling the BK Disable program on my phone and it won't boot now with a verification failed message, so I've not nothing to lose atm, except whatever data hasn't been backed up lately.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] saveferris:
Fingers crossed mate.

I actually cant believe Samsung has gone down this path with its CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Verification failed comes up because the 'OEM unlock' toggle is enabled, not because of BK disabler.

Keep OEM Unlock ticked and then try. It's not required to be enabled when flashing stock files anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Genebaby:
I don't think I've ever ticked OEM Unlock on this phone. I have been playing with a Moto G5 Plus, unlocking the bootloader, rooting and installing a ROM and I did tick that on that one, but I can't think that I would have done it on this phone as I want to use Gpay and such things.

I've just reset it finally now, gave up on it. No chance of unticking OEM Unlock anyhow, can't get back in.

Guys I think I found a bug with the CRLI.

I don't know if it has to do with the fact that the wps has been removed, but when you connect wifi via an access point, the samsung apps don't synchronize.

Specifically when I connect my s9 plus via a netgear ex3700 extender, I cannot open samsung apps, synchronize my samsung email, connect to samsung cloud etc. Google play store works great, FB works great etc.

When I connect directly to the router, everything works great.

My father's A5 and all other devices like laptops, iphones, tablets etc work just fine.

There seems to be a problem with wifi extenders (maybe just netgear ones?)

A workaround is to use a VPN. Then the wifi of the extender works fine.

Anyone else with this problem?
