It actually installed the latest build (arj4) but I didn't realize it was still in "completing firmware update" when I wipe cache partition in recovery mode.

When my phone restarted it said "failed to update firmware, visit a Samsung service center"

I'm wondering does it have an effect? Do I need to flash the latest firmware myself?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Can you take the OTA now if you check for it?

If not, then you will have to flash the latest build.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] RedDevils88:
No ota, and there's no latest update information too
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Yeah then flash ARJ4 for XME and do a factory reset so that you get OTAs again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] andrewbowes:
If you flashed the full rom through odin, would it show update information ? Surely update info would only show if the update was flashed?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
No it won't. Update information only shows when you've taken an OTA.

The phone is fully wiped after flashing, so it can't possibly retain any update information about previous updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] RedDevils88:
is it possilbe not wiping the phone after the update?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gee2012:
Use the HOME_CSC file.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Yes there is by using HOME_CSC but it won't fix your OTA issue.

There's NO update available for his CSC... ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaylence:
If you're already on December build (SKB), there's no point installing the beta as it would require you to downgrade to SJ1 (which can only be done thru Odin).

Just install DSLB directly from SKB using Odin.

Hi....

I've download GALAXY NOTE9 SM-N960F DBT GERMANY N960FXXU4DSLB FIRMWARE and flash it with Odin but my phone stay in android 9..... Why ???

Is it necessary to have full stock N960FXXS4CSJ1/N960FOXM4CSJ1/N960FXXS4CSJ1 firmware before flashing ?

Thanks in advance

If you ask this kind of questions it might be better to wait for the official OTA update.

Something is wrong while you install: Have you ensured you choose correct files while flashing via Odin?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaylence:
I understand your point but you're exaggerating with the 70%.

Of those asking for help/clarifications about the compatibility of thier phones/firmwares how many have re-posted they had their devices bricked?

This thread was created not just to provide firmware updates but also to assist anyone who wants to update their devices thru odin, sdcard, or adb method.

The fact the they're asking about the firmware details and flashing procedures before doing it is already a sign of patience.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
You know this thread is about the EXYNOS-version of the Note9, and not the SNAPDRAGON (US)-version you have?

If someone brick his phone... I call it natural selection, Darwin rulez ?

Next time these people will wait or collect more info before proceed.. And this is the meaning of a forum, asking and answering, because no one knows all without asking or trying.. In last years I've made many practice with phones, but my first android phone (galaxy s3), I bricked it downgrading baseband.. I didn't know what I was doing, and so I made a mess.. But searching on the Web, with 2 days (TWO DAYS!! ? ?) of "work", I revived it.. So, let them try, if someone don't know what he's doing, will understand himself.. ?

i would like to confirm that this upgrade went smoothly and i got android Q oneUI 2 installed in my phone.. yaaay.. btw i did a clean installation.

device N960F/DS

Phone origin csc - XSG

My home csc - SLK

All new features work and so far no crashes or restart or issues.. too early to say abt battery but so far its seems good, maybe tid bit better than pie.

camera looks nice and works well. will check if the nicelock works etc.

update after over 6 hours use - * via nicelock Routines works well, clock face works well but Task changer doesnt work! * Just found out samsung Dex works with the stock usb-C cable smoothly! no need of c to hdmi cable like on pie!

*tip - some apps may have startup issues after restoring them via smart switch so uninstall and reinstall them via store!

*on the quick panel the S-pen says air Actions but i dint think air actions work, maybe hardware not supporing etc, will keep checking abt it..

update on second day after Q -

*Battery life is good i feel...... i got 5hrs of SOT at 39% battery remaining..with lot of calls and chats etc

I believe that the "OXM multi-csc firmware" is a great thing, No More Waiting for OTA updates for days & weeks just to get latest update.

just follow the instructions carefully and good luck.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] McPhistot:
No Singapore (XSP) and days counting... One silly question, already answered for sure, but I have DBT stock rom Android 10 and the cable ready to flash... If I flash full (CSC, not Home CSC) I will turn my singapore XSP completely into DBT, (I just did a backup with Switch), will I get the monthly updates for DBT version OTA? My last update from XSP Singapore is October.... It works ok but Im missing the new magic... If somebody knows that with this method (stock DBT, Odin, full CSC not Home CSC) I will not get OTA for DBT, please tell!!! Using a Sim card from Argentina.... Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaylence:
Can you please check first if this code works on your phone:

*#272*IMEI#

IMEI = Your 15 digit IMEI number.

To answer your question. If flashing DBT firmware will change your CSC to DBT (which I am unsure of), then you will receive future OTA updates for DBT.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] McPhistot:
Yes, I already did the *#272*IMEI# and changed to DBT in december, thinking that I would get DBT updates but nothing happened, no OTA from DBT yet and my provider software version tells: DBT/DBT,DBT/XSP, but still on XSP CSI5 (lastest XSP quoted on Sammobile as released, in October!!) Any idea? Already thinking that XSP will never update, hehe! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaylence:
Odin flash any DBT firmware and you'll receive future OTA for DBT.

Or you can directly use the DLB build.

But if you want to test if you'll receive OTA, try using DBT October build. After that you'll receive the November patch via OTA (or it will skip the november patch and you'll receive the Android Q via OTA).

PS:

I also changed my CSC using the code (from SMA to DBT) and I never have problems with DBT OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] McPhistot:
Thanks for your replay! just checked sammobile firmware history for DBT and it has CSI5 in October... I'm getting convinced that I have to flash full DSLB from DBT and move on from XSP definitively, XSP will get soon DSLB, but it updated on a slow three month pace last year, while most others updated monthly...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaylence:
Sorry about the wrong info on the CSI5.

You're right they both received the CSI5 update but they are not the same.

XSG got CSI5 with CSC build: CSI3

DBT got CSI5 with CSC build: CSI1

Therefore: No OTA because your current firmware does not 100% match that of DBT's.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] McPhistot:
Now you convinced me! hehe! I'm flashing full DBT (CSC OXM included, not home) and then backup recovery. I'm stuck in CSI5 here. Don't feel bad If I blew it! I'be back to tell the results. Thank you very much!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] McPhistot:

I have a Note 9 N960F/DS and something must be wrong with the OTA updates. The updates are stacked back to January 2019.

I'm planning to manually update to latest Q firmware through Odin and using HOME-CSC so my files and apps remain intact.

1. After update is there any possibility the OTA updates to get back to normal and take the later OTAs (if there will be any of them of course)?
