Yes, that's the Odin version i was using to try this and it's getting stuck on this version.

Earlier versions of Odin will not flash the CSC at all. This modified version does start to flash the CSC but it's getting stuck in the middle - only when flashing with the combination file.

When I used this Odin with the normal firmware, the CSC flashed fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] holifo:
very strange, i will try too and come back
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] holifo:
What about if you flash it on its own?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] clubtech:
If the factory binary is already installed on the phone and I try to flash the CSC on its own, it still freeze in the middle of the flash.

If the stock firmware is installed on the phone and I try to flash the CSC on its own, it goes through.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] holifo:
Since you have already the full firmware then you only need the COMB to change the CSC that is part of your firmware OXM for example.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] clubtech:
When I only flash the combination firmware, it boots up fine but when you go and enter *#243203855#, the CSC code list never pops up.

Have you tried this combination firmware on your phone? Is it working for you to change CSC?

If yes, please send more detailed steps on what exactly you did to make it work because I don't think the normal process works to change CSC anymore. Maybe they changed the code you need to enter in the dialer from *#243203855#.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] holifo:
No I haven't tried didn't needed yet as I went from BTU to VOD for IMS stuff and changed via SIM. The file is original though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] clubtech:
Yes I have no doubt the file is original as it boots and flashes correctly, but the CSC change method is not working for me and it looks like it was not working for the other person who posted earlier in the thread. Hopefully someone can figure this out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] holifo:
Maybe you can try with earlier firmware version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] clubtech:
Do you mean the CSC file of an older firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] holifo:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] clubtech:
Sadly I was not able to find any older Odin firmware to flash CSC from.

Hopefully someone's who understands more than me can chime in.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] yanuarsia16:
This is exactly what happened to me as well. The combination firmware only works when you flash it by itself. As soon as you flash it with the CSC, it get stuck in odm.img.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] holifo:
Hi mate just seen you have SM-N960U1 is this the phone you are trying the COMB file?

because this file is for SM-N960F(Exynos) and not for SD.

Try this for SM-N960U1:

[MENTION=726705]holifo[/MENTION]

Samsung patched the CSC change method with combination files. I've tried 3 different files for the S9+, if you boot the combo as is, and type the code to change the CSC, it doesn't work. The ADB shell command to force change the CSC doesn't work either.

Flashing the combination along with a CSC file from a firmware results in the phone not booting.

Your method involves Root, Isn't it?

I guess the reason why everyone needs the combination method is to switch CSC without tripping Knox.

Change CSC Note 9 - Combination FAC

I'm new here, I wonder if in the case where the combination file worked with HOME_CSC (in Note 8), the CSC file was renamed to "tar" or was used as "md5" itself. I saw in another forum something about renaming this file to work along with the AP combo file. I have a Note 9 SM-N9600 and am trying to change the CSC to ZTO (Brazil) for use by Samsung Pay. When I use Odin with both files (AP + Home CSC) it hangs, I have not yet tested renamed to "tar". When I use only the combination file, it works normally, but when entering the command code, nothing happens.

4glte = 4g if you're just looking for the letters lte use substratum.

You have to understand that 4glte and only lte are north American crap and the rest of the world correctly shows it as 4g, which is what it is.

North America 3g, 4g, lte, or 3g, h+, 4glte, or 3g, 4g, 4glte, or h, 4g, lte, depending on manufacturer, model, and provider.

The rest of the world 3g, h+, 4g and variations.

There is this app that does it well, the only drawback is that it could lag a bit on keeping the picture even after unlocking but that was on the s8 plus. Have t seen it do it much on the note 9. Then again have not used it much.

Also if you want your picture you have to pay. But for now thos is the only one I know that has worked. Just can't say if it will lag like it did on the s8 plus or not. As mentioned picture would stay a couple of seconds more than what you would expect.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] teegunn:
Thanks for the heads up on that app. It doesn't lag on my Note 9. It has plenty of great AOD custom pics that you don't have to pay for, but even if you want the "prime" pics, the prime app is only $3.49. Not even a cup of coffee for most people.... in other words, it's a very good value.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] lmanlo:
Yes, $3.49 is not much but just wanted to mention if you wanted a particular custom picture that is not on the app that you would like to have that would be $9.99 which is still not bad for them to put up the work on getting your picture as a AOD picture. But not everyone would need it as there are plenty that it already has and this has been for quite a long time so it has accumulated several custom pictures that everyone could use which is a plus for this app.

But yes this has worked better on the Note 9 then it did on the S8+. It was a bit laggy on my S8+. This has been a good alternative and likely would be the best one for now that does Custom AOD.

The good it worked good for you and I'm glad that I did upgrade to Note 9 as well. Seems to handle everything better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] teegunn:
I may end up paying the $3.49 for the prime version. Don't really need custom pics done, but there are some nice prime pics I may use.

For right now I am testing it out to see if it effects battery life differently than stock AOD. There is no lag for me and I doubt anyone with a Note 9 will have lag.
