Actually, I just found a video on YouTube where Yakapa40 is able to unpack the xml files using some "cscfeature" executable.

[MENTION=4583018]yakapa40[/MENTION]

Is there any chance you might be willing to share your "cscfeature.exe" file for unpacking the feature XML files in the CSC?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] VetteMike69:
Ah sorry, nevermind... I was able to make a ps1 for it instead. I'm good one decoding and encoding the XMLs now.

Hi bober, don't know where else to post this, so posting it here...I have seen a bunch of your posts and it seems you've figured out a way to use Canadian CSC on the 960 F/DS...i have a few questions:

1- First step is install TWRP?

2- then root?

3- do I have to change the actual firmware of the device? Mine is a singapore unit

4- Once I change CSC, how are updates handled after that if I want to keep using stock firmware?

5- If I can't do OTA, then how will I update to the latest version and security patches? Do I download these for the Canada version? or the Singapore version?

Any help would be highly appreciated!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
i think you should weigh in what you want to achieve by changing csc and if it really is worth rooting for.

i rooted for custom roms, sound mods and just sheer control over my device.

but this comes with a price:

no samsung pay ( yet)( can always unroot)

tripped knox fuse, so probably no warranty. depends.(once tripped, this cannot be reverted)

misc apps detect root and might no longer root.(can always unroot)

so you should read up and get informed on what you need and if you need root/twrp.

concerning updates once rooted:

either use custom roms. BL and CP can be manually updated via stock firmware while custom rom keeps the system up to date.

or flash full stock firmware each time then re-root.

in both cases above, firmware files to be used are for exynos F devices. forget the canadian firmware, you cant flash that since it's for snapdragon devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] VetteMike69:
Hi [MENTION=4583018]yakapa40[/MENTION]!

Thank you, this looks like it'll be a bit more convenient than the one I made previously. I'll put it on record for next time. Luckily I was able to find what prevented me from flashing the older revision CSC and modify that. So now I was able to use Odin to drop down my PDA and CSC while keeping the newer Bootloader and Baseband. I guess it's a bit of a Frankin'-Firm now. ;) Whats weird though, is that now my knox sometimes shows tripped and sometimes doesn't; sometimes root checker fails and sometimes it passes.

I wonder if I grazed on something that's related to the knox handler... Nagh... probably just wishful thinking. Still weird though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] VetteMike69:
Hi [MENTION=1053675]hkalltheway[/MENTION]!

Bober10113 is absolutely right on this. Really, you need to know what exactly you are rooting the device for. If you don't have a set reason, it may be better not to root it. You can flash stock firmware and CSC all day long without needing a root. But if you want to customize the features (there's not really a lot right now by the way) and setup custom menus, layouts, or run CFW... Then you'll have to go the way of rooting. But again, there is currently no definitive way to "untrip" your knox. As he said, you can "unroot" but you cannot "technically" regain your unmodified status; even though you can revert back to a stock rom. By loosing this status you loose access to Pay, Secure Folder, and a few other things. I think there is a mod out there to get Samsung Health working again, but as far as I'm currently aware, that's the only one you can re-gain. Most of them validate against your knox value.

Regarding your questions.

YES! You should always install TWRP first before doing any 'messin'. This is your ultimate line of recovery and the best mulligan your gonna get from your device. Always follow the two step wonder on this:

1. Install TWRP

2. Boot into TWRP and create a full backup of your partitions (Before anything else). I do this to the SD card in the tray. That way it's always handy.

After this, feel free to play around, but keep in mind what versions/revisions your flashing. If you jump to a new one, it's not easy to downgrade -it'll take hours to download and rewrite the firmware you need and trick the phone into thinking it's flashing the latest update.

Regarding a changed CSC and the updates... You should have no problem getting updates. But Samsung sends out updates to devices based on the CSC. So, if you flash the CSC, the updates you get will come at the same time interval of the country and location of the CSC that you flashed. For example, you have a Sin model with Sin CSC just like me, but if you flash to a UK CSC, then you will get your updates at the same time that the UK get their updates. Etc, Etc...

For the OTA Updates, if your on a stock firmware you should get these fine. If they do not automatically update you can just tap the update button manually in settings to check for new updates and then download them. Some have said you need to turn off automatic updates, and some say you do not. This, I'm not 100% sure on this one. Also, you can manually update by flashing the newest version through Odin as the come in. Usually SamMobile.com is good about keeping up to date firmware that you can download with all 4 packs, nicely labeled for you.

Hopefully that helps you out a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
phone info tool and other root detect apps are notorious for reporting wrong Knox status.....

he wants a csc from a snapdragon to a exynos. so flashing csc from SD in odin is ill advised. so it will require root and files be either manualy modded or i have updated tkkg1994 csc pack to work on note 9. ive only added canadian region.

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AhXVLDDj8g3AgdkwkPIxwDu5ZFASuQ

in twrp backup:

EFS

carrier files

then flash zip.

i wont be held responsible for anything. Ive tested on my N960N.

should work on any F or FD/DS too.

all credits to tkkg1994.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] hkalltheway:
Thanks for the help guys! The only reason I wanted root was for having VoLTE and Wifi calling working in Canada. One more reason is titanium backup so I can back up the device completely so it's easy to restore. Finally, I was curious how the scene is now and what else I can play with in magisk, as I've never used it. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
well then root might be food for you.

have a read at Dr Ketan roms thread for the root procedure and details of what it involves.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
what is your carrier?

because Rogers blacklists non carrier phones. i believe bell might also do that too. So even if all is there and options appear, your phones imei code will be blocked from enrolling for wifi calling.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] hkalltheway:
I'm currently with fido but thinking of switching to freedom mobile. Still too worried about all this rooting stuff that it seems the best thing to do is stay away from now and choose from one of the 2:

1- use wifi calling / VoLTE by getting the rogers/fido phone directly; that phone will not have dual sim capability

2- forget wifi calling / VoLTE and use this dual sim version, which has a lot of advantages while traveling

Seems like I'll stick to the 2nd option for now. Thanks for the help!

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] tomo100brt:
Battery is good. 1 day to 2 days depends on your usage.

Only issue I have with this phone is that it is super slippery. XZ2 Premium doesn't have the brightest screen but the screen is exelent. If you want the best lowlight camera buy this phone. And if you ask me it is the best camera in daylight too. And the same goes to video recording.

You can download the stock firmware for whatever bootloader you're on right now and then after it's finished downloading the entire firmware you can unzip and pull the modem out and then repackage it as a .zip in order to be able to flash it with odin..

I am of the opinion if the screen bleed is not interfering or degrading Ur phone experience including videos watching and day to day use, forget about it. As it is everybody concurs that this condition does not get worse with use

Everybody has different perception about what they want and no point in losing Ur peace of mind, just enjoy the phone.

PLEASE PEOPLE STOP SPAMMING XDA AND TWITTER IT'S NOT THAT BIG ISSUE and many of us don't have this issue.
