Quick question, in relation to specifically Pie.

Is there a way to change my CSC to get back WiFi calling, VoLTE ect? In Australia with Telstra, upgrading to Pie I lost it all. I realise there is for a Oreo, but not for Pie? Without losing my Data is the tricky part.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaylence:
That's the problem. Applying CSC and Network Code specific to your sim card reqires a system mandatory factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] aussiesausage:
Ah right, so there is no work around to do it without losing my Data :(

My phone has more stuff on it then all my laptops put together.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] aussiesausage:
From my understanding official firmware need to be installed Via Odin, if you have TWRP why not just got for a custom Rom.

I wanted to try this. But my Note 9 is SM-N9600 with TGY CSC code. Any thoughts for my Note 9 version. I also want to change my CSC code.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaylence:
You can't. Cross-flashing firmware between diffrerent variants of Note9 won't work.

Also, N960F/DS is an exynos variant while N9600 is snapdragon.

Yes, only OTA at the moment.

However since NEE never got CSA2, I believe the update is ARL3 > CSA7.

It's MAX allright. Austrian T-Mobile. So this means I can't use this method for now..? How come it takes so long to get the OTA update notification?! It's almost february crying out loud. I've contacted several Samsung support sites (Belgium support via phone, Support via mail, Austrian support via chat, facebook messenger), no one can give descent info, other then "you just have to wait".
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] high_voltage:
No, just the standard that includes "all" (performance/enhancements/bugs) without anything specific. Given how unfinished (buggy) the android 9 looks in some regards, I am glad there is a new builds. For example, do you know that the android 9 won't pass google compatibility test? Yep, confirmed by max, the poweramp developer who had quite a lot problems to make the hi-res output work and even so - the sound is worse vs oreo (I feel in general the sound is worse even if I go by stock sound + speakers sound) + there are compromises as samsung didn't follow the google's compatibility guide and in reality should had problems to cert it (but as we all know, when you are big - exceptions happens). Also there are quite a lot of bugs or unfinished features that clearly needs more time. The problem with that is that more than not, when someone rush like that with the intention to polish/fix later, it is never polished/fixed or atleast not to the level it would be before release. After all, people already downloaded, installed, complained and now live with it.. why waste dev power/engineer power on a old phone when galaxy s10 is here. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Generally, in the past I didn't mind a lot Samsung's "ideology" of late/extremely late software update cycles to have "acceptably finished" products later. But delivering as final stable only to experience as "unfinished" doesn't make sense. Treble helps to an extent, changes required turns it into a trouble.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] high_voltage:
Highly doubt that we will ever see the multiwindow capabilities that samsung destroyed with android 9. Maybe they will return them for the next android. Really dissapointed on that one as right now for me the multiwindow is almost useless (for my personal use case that is). PRO mode for video is an option as it would need just an app update. Most likely the new base is primary a bug fixing as there are quite a lot when one deep dive into the android 9, sadly I see also a lot of rushed and half baked features like the dolby for gaming + missing features that was core for the phone experience like the multiwindow... after all this is a NOTE phone, marketed for multitasking, not the small galaxy s9.

You have a branded Note9 which is not a part of Multi-CSC OXM.

To answer your question. YES.

You can flash OXM Firmware.

If you use the CSC File (not the HOME_CSC), your device will factory reset and will become "unbranded" with OXM CSC.

Just wait: Vodafone has started rolling-out OneUI Pie to their devices...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] high_voltage:
Well, don't know what to say anymore... this year the update was faster, but:

1) still not officially out for my country, the date in samsung members note was changed from January to February. For some other regions it was changed for March!

2) I love some things about the update, can see the idea behind it, BUT I also clearly see silly (read as: obvious in the first day of testing for a junior QA) bugs, missing core features and half baked ones. I also know for reported (from more than one person and confirmed by samsung) easy to spot issues that was not fixed at all.

3) it still didn't came that more faster than the oreo, realistically if we go by "when first showed up" it's just a month faster.

4) Samsung 10 000 regions are leading to really not even and fair update receiving and also as always they release for one region so the media can write up the articles (ANDROID 9 OFFICIALLY AVAILABLE, THE ROLLOUT BEGAN WITH X REGION) and theeen the real rollout starts like a month later lol + it's super slow and some region got it few months later.

5) all that said, it hurts to write how they rushed the update, given how many months they had and the beta test program.

Atleast when I got the nougat on my s7e it was really improving the phone. Oreo I received in the summer, so disappointed there, but was solid too. Android 9 is both missing core features and buggy, also it has some features that are clearly rushed and not finished for production cycle.

It depends on the CSC installed.

Some CSC, such as mine, supports changing CSC via code.

If I did change my CSC (say SMA --> DBT) the code will no longer work on DBT.

Going back to my home csc (SMA) requires a full reset with SMA sim card inserted.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] edwardob:
well the context is the firmware in the thread..........we have choice of home_csc or csc_ in the multi csc firmware

what happens if i dont use the home_csc and use the other will it just reset device or can you change csc at that point
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaylence:
Well, that is the case with previous models ( say S7 Edge). When I flashed the CSC_, my CSC was changed to whatever firmware I used (e.g. BTU).

But with this new implementation of Multi CSC, (starting from Note7?) I've no idea if it is still the same when the CSC_ is used.

I think now, it's different. If you happen to be on OXM, your CSC remains the same no matter OXM firmware you flash. (Hope someone who actually tried, verify this)

One thing is for sure, though. Those who have "branded" note 9 flashed with "unbranded" multi CSC OXM firmware using CSC_, ended up with an "unbranded" note9.

Their CSC's were changed.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaylence:
Factory reset is required.

Actually, you don't need to flash a new firmware over DBT.

You just have to factory reset with Telstra sim inserted.

Try emptying the sim2 slot. Leave the telstra sim at sim1 slot then factory reset.

Select SIM1 (Telstra).

Then your phone will factoru reset again and will be configured based on Telstra.
