Hey guys I'm planning to sell my note 9 and was wondering how to flash to the latest stock TMobile file ? I'm on zrll can I just grab the latest firmware and flash with Odin? Just afraid to brick it since I'm going back to Oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Yeah grab the latest (or any really) full firmware for tmobile off of samfirm (if you havent found it already) and flash it in odin. I havent flashed anything other than att in so long but I think when you get to the CSC portion you flash the one that starts with home (home_csc?) and that will wipe the device..

Make sure you go into accounts and remove your google account and samsung account as well before the reset or who ever buys it wont be able to set up the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
I'm sure Samsung uses better quality NAND than LG. I lost count, but I easily flashed over a thousand times in the 10 months I had the V20.

My experience with wireless charging was weird too. Turned off once on its own. Was charging pretty slow. Who knows what the issue is

Thank you downloading the full firmware now.

Might be but I usually skip the s series and wait until the note series. At the momenti have the oppo find x and I'm really enjoying it. It might not be better then the note 9 but I get bored easily. Also right now is the sweet spot to sell the note 9 imo
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] carrilloevo:
Are you in the beta official beta testing? If yes make sure you unregister from the Samsung members app, if you fail to do it you won't get the updates on the official tmobile firmware if not just flash the stock tmobile firmware........

This is the thread we're you can get the stock tmobile firmware

I dont think that is true. Especially because the beta has ended. Is that in the fine print somewhere?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] carrilloevo:
Have you done it? I did and that's what happened to me, couldn't do any updates until I went back to the U1 SOFTWARE and de register
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I'll test it out when I get back my hotel tonight. Seems like a big oversight since their documentation doesnt mention a requirement to remove yourself

Question...running CSA7 and having this issue.

When using Multi View I have GMaps and PocketCast going watching video podcast. I'll swipe down my notifications from top of screen and click the Clear button. It clears the notifications and then goes back to my Multi View. Everything seems fine except that PocketCast keeps playing audio but the video is frozen. Haven't tried it with any other video player yet....anyone able to duplicate?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Yeah I'm at dinner stuck on arh2 :-/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] damikachu:
Didn't happen with maps and YouTube. Didn't have any notifications to clear though
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] duracool:
On Oreo I could get notification sounds through my bluetooth headset and on my phone. Is there a way to do that on Pie? I'm running CSA7.

So .. with the pending release of Pie .. has Firmware.Science (or anyone else) discontinued releasing leaks/updates ?

CSA8 and now CSAA are no where to be found.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kcodya:
Because they're not available. If they were, you'd have them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordGeek:
Of course somebody had to put there 2 cents in .. that did not answer my question !

Plus .. if they weren't available .. why was CSA8 and CSAA posted on FOTA ?

They were available to the people who can access them .. they may have it, they may not .. it's up to them to make it available to us. Not that stupid.

My question was .. "with the pending release of Pie .. has Firmware.Science (or anyone else) discontinued releasing leaks/updates ?" .. not rocket science.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Why are you typing in white text? I have to enable dark mode just to read it.

They are not available. FOTA is a site that merely shows what builds are being tested by Samsung. It does not mean those builds have leaked.

No one at firmware.science or here on XDA are secretly hoarding leaked builds. They are made available as they leak.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordGeek:
Apologies .. my screen is in dark mode, so when I type, text color is black (to me) !

Ok .. that answered my question. I figured that since it's posted up there, it is available to whom ever has access to grab. Thank you for clearing that up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kcodya:
I'm saying they're not available because they're not available. Firmware.Science does not have them nor are they keeping them from you. Just because something shows up on FOTA does not mean they are automatically retrievable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KingVekxin:
I mean... [MENTION=4631220]Venom0642[/MENTION] magical ass might be lol he's like a master at the claw machine when it comes to grabbing leak builds
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Firmware Science is not changing how it does business nor is there any indication that it would.

Also please don't resort to immediately climbing down peoples throats when you don't get the answer you think you should get, you are the one asking the question. Anyone nice enough to answer you is giving you their two cents.

Nice to see you mate, So you finally got a Note9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] stratatak7:
Good to see you're still perusing the forums and posting content/helping out. I've had quite a few devices since then and have had the Note9 since preorder. I'm a bit of a lurker now and don't develop ROMs/Kernels anymore. Just happy to see the good, positive spirit and general helpfulness here and wanted to send a personal thank you for getting Pie links. The new release is solid, Play store certified, and battery is great. I'm hoping to see this as an OTA so I don't have to downgrade to get future updates. :)

A tip if anyone is experiencing lag with getting Gmail notifications like I was:

Settings > Apps > Three dot menu > Special Access > Optimize battery usage > All apps dropdown. Turn off optimization for any app you don't want heavily managed and notifications should come in faster. I had to turn mine off for Gmail and a few other messaging apps I use.

I made the jump today from arl2 to csa7 and it went great .

only issue I have is and maybe someone here can help me with it is

in the Samsung messenger app the names are very dim ,can barely see them

same with the notification pull down,all the icons in the circles are very dim

Thank you

I thought it was a bad update ,so I did a clean install ,but the same issue
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
That means you either have a corrupt download, or are not on the correct base required to apply the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] FYL21:
Just got it in Taiwan this morning:

- Bluetooth audio delay has been improved significantly. No indication of whether AptX HD and/or AptX Adaptive is supported or not. There was some discussion a few months ago on a Samsung community forum about introducing AptX Adaptive rather than AptX HD but no news since then. Samsung HD is no longer listed as a codec.

- Video recording is in a separate tab, and there's no more video recording in Pro mode. They're trying too hard to be like Apple's UI. I don't know about you but I prefer having the video button below the photo button.

- Bixby Vision hasn't changed which is a shame as Taiwan variant uses Taobao for shopping instead of Amazon and I can't change it.

- Can no longer readily access battery usage screen from quick settings. I keep a device care widget on my home screen to access battery and other things. Device Care now shows 100% even if you have virus scanning turned off.

- Shutter lag seems reduced in good light - the paused image seems to be what you get. Still there in low light and with slower shutter speeds in Pro Mode.

- Game Tuner no longer works. I can no longer force a game to run at a specific resolution with overclocking.

- Really hate the clock on the top left (blame Google not Samsung), but at least "Do Not Disturb" mode doesn't stick out like a sore thumb anymore (but they should still put it on the right side like Sony does).

- Weather clock widget only opens weather regardless where you tap it, unlike weather clock widgets from other brands (like Sony and HTC). As a result I need a separate weather and clock widget on my homescreen.

I'm okay with waiting for the official version on Android Pie. This latest beta has not given me any problems. Samsung has dominated my phone usage this year we and it is because of the beta program. The last 2 years I would stay with the Galaxy S and then switch to the Pixel because Samsung would always release the next version of Android so late.

This is my 1st time getting a Note since the Note 2. However the size transition from the S9+ to the Note 9 is minimal. In my opinion the Note 9 is more feature packed then the Pixel 3Xl and the best part is the battery life with Android Pie. It's been a while since I can honestly forget about my phone dying while I'm at an event.

Honestly, with the next version of Samsung coming in about 1 month, I feel the Note 9 will still be the best option. Fingerprint scanner under the screen and a side notch won't be enough to make me switch.

N960U1UEU1ZRLL

It's the latest available for a US unlocked Snapdragon Note 9 on the official beta channel. For me if this doesn't happen in my pocket, the screen will go black (except for the status bar), the phone will lock up for a few seconds, and then it'll kick me to the lock screen and ask me to enter my pin (and not use a fingerprint) as if the phone had rebooted. Very weird.

Granted, I'm using things like Immersive Mode Manager, bxActions, and Substratum so maybe something funky is going on with one of those. Just trying to track it down.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] damikachu:
Probably substratum. I don't use immersive mode manager but I use bxactions and I never have anything like that happen so probably safe to eliminate that app from the list of suspects

So I'm running CSA7 on a Verizon note 9. My question is when Verizon puts out the official OTA FOR PIE will my phone get it or am I going to have to flash back to stock???

Nope. You will need to Odin back to latest Verizon firmware to get an ota's pushed by Verizon.

I've been on ZRLL since December 27th when it was released. I've had two reboots. Both occurred when I had a bunch of apps running. Other than that it's been 100% stable.

When the official is released, just use the SamFirm tool to download the most recent Verizon firmware, then use ODIN to flash it.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ksupernor2:
Thank you very much. Much appreciated!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
You cannot answer this with certainty.

If Verizon pushes out CSA7 as their OTA, then no Odin will be required to get future updates. You will only have to go through the Odin process if they push out any other version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Still on ZRLL, or did you go back to carrier leaks? I'm on the latest carrier leak, and Samsung Cloud works fine here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] redlee90:
Did the same thing. Having two activate windows is a god send, extremely handy when you are in game but sometimes need to jump into instant messing apps to do a quick reply. Glad that an old version good lock app supports multistar. But I will wait for the official release.
