Bl and cp the same as CSB2?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] MrPhilo:
I was going to flash the stock ROM and solo remove stuff, so glad I saw this thread before I did, makes life easier!

Is there any chance you can do a mirror? The AndroidFileHost is really slow at the moment for me as they're based in US (the downloads), while I live in UK
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] _alexndr:
CP is same (included in the ROM), BL is CSB3 (update is optional)

Use MEGA mirror (available in post #2)

@ _alexndr

it's about smartview;

i'm trying to understand when i'm using Samsung stock Rom rooted i can't pair my TV but with your rom it works very well.

So i'm thinking you've made something ?

I would like to understand and learn how to make it works.

Thanks for your help

Are you using the stock kernel included in the ROM? With stock kernel it should work. For custom kernel you need to ask kernel's dev
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] itzdroid95:
I'm using the stock kernel which is included in the Rom.

The first time it says bad internet connection.

The second time it's starts but crash's a few seconds later.

After that it broke every time .

So I added _encrypt end of the name but it seem it didn't work, I am using the most recent, can I just use the encrypt from Samsung setting in security? Would that still achieve the same outcome?

no csb3 base for n960n?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] _alexndr:
Try clean install with default debloat list (without custom options.prop file in /sdard). Flash also Oreo bootloader because it may be somehow related to device status (it is Official with Oreo BL). Do not use any Magisk modules before first try

If it will not help - no other ideas, but then it must be an other reason, not rom related, since it works for other people

What do you mean by "it didn't work"? Does it cause bootloop or just your data stays unencrypted?

Make sure that you added "enrypt" string at the end of file name but before ".zip" extension - file name should end with "*encrypt.zip"

With the latest Magisk I would also NOT recommend to use encrypt with clean install, but after performing initial setup - reboot to recovery and then dirty re-flash with "encrypt" string

NO, encrypt from Samsung setting in security will NOT work and you may lose your /data while trying

Latest stock ROM for N960N available @ Sammobile / SamFirm is CSA1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] MrPhilo:
N960FXXS2CSB3_DevBase_v6.0_Encrypt.zip is my file name, maybe because it's the E is a capital letter.

It didn't work encryption but I was able to boot as normal into the OS without encryption. Is what I meant.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] tycoon78[stoner]:
yeah its working on dev base. but not all modules are working. for reference which module is working in pie look here.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Gandicela:
adding "_encrypt" at the end of the file name gave me bootloop at the Samsung Logo (N960FXXS2C2B3_DevBase_v6.0_encrypt.zip). This is with or without the edited "options.prop" file in the root folder of the external SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] _alexndr:
How long have you waited? First boot after using encrypt string may take 5—60 minutes (depending on amount of data to encrypt)

There is pulsing samsung logo during entire encryption process
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Gandicela:
Guess what?

A totally brand new downloaded file, and renamed with the "_encrypt" text at the end of the file name just worked! I can't explain it any other way around.

For those who wanted to have the last Oreo Update with the highest changelist available... I present you Devbase modified ROM with ARL4... have a quick look if you're an OREO lover ❤

{ROM}[N960F/FD]-DevBase[[ALEXNDR]] Modified by [Da-BOSS]-[ARL4] Final Oreo Update

If you don't mind [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION] could you add this ROM to your Main post? If you don't mind or if possible... :) Thank you for your amazing Devbase ROM :)

No problem at all if you refused... and if you don't like this current post.. just let me know and I will delete it immediately :)

Hey Alexndr can you tell me where the file is located to change the network mode to LTE Only for both Sim slots? Is it possible just to see the file with some root explorer?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jack allen:
I knew there was a reason i always go back to your devbase its so stable does what it says on the tin, no bugs (for me anyway..) another perfect contribution from yourself and i thank you for your time and effect that has gone into ypur hobby for us its appreciated when pip gets paid you shall receive some money well earned.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] _alexndr:
FYI - ARL3 & ARL4 have exact same changelist & security patch level. The only difference is that build date differs by... 1 day :)

In theory it is still possible that it contains minor fixes, but personally I doubt :)

It is not pssible at all to use LTE for both SIM slots at the same time
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Eamo5:
https://github.com/Eamo5/crownlte-endurance/commit/5502c39f951b61b7b86eba2cfcdaad992b393a93

Interestingly, between ARL3 and ARL4 kernel sources, there were quite a lot of changes as you can see
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] _alexndr:
I haven't analyzed sources, just changelist, build date and security patch level :)

So... seems like I'm wrong :) as the kernel's dev you know better :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] HorstiG:
Then it would theoretically have to be enough to flash the ARL4 kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] yaesudx:
Hi again

Sorry this is not what i mean.

I just need to know where i can find the Option to anable LTE only Band selection so it shows me directly in the Network Section of the Samsung Firmware.

And i asked that i need that for both SIM Cards because without Root or Modification the 2 Sim slot is not able to go LTE only at least with European Firmware.

So agin i want only to know where the file is located to set this LTE only mode in the Options.

Than regarding your answer: You can off course set both cards to LTE only on both SIM Slots at the same time. I am doing it right now. But you can only use one Data connection at time this is surely clear.

thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] _alexndr:
I agree that there SHOULD BE a solution against wiping data by idiots of jokers... but note that same idiot can easily enter STOCK recovery and erase all your data (there is no protection even in case of official, stock firmware).

Also - Download Mode works ALWAYS, no matter if you have USB debugging enabled or not. Let's imagine that somebody created password protected TWRP. Since you allowed to flash custom binaries (by enabling OEM unlock) - workaround for a thief is as simple as flashing another TWRP (without password protection).

The only advantage of having stock firmware is really effective anti-thief protection. FRP protection in fact does not protect your data against idiots of jokers (wiping data), but a thief can't sell your phone without possibility to log in successfully into your Google account (no matter if a thief wiped your data or flashed another stock firmware which wipes data)

In many bussiness cases (sometimes in private life) - data may be more expensive than the device itself - this ROM protects at least your data. Note that your encrypted data are really safe (despite root) if you are using "secure boot" feature. It's due to the fact, that in case of enabling OEM unlock - without enabled "secure boot" feature - ANY flashed custom kernel (also a kernel created especially to steal your data) may get access to encrypted data at post-fs-data boot stage (before you will be asked for credentials like password or fingerprint). Attacker in theory may create a dedicated kernel to copy your data to an external storage or just to wipe only your credentials (and in effect to bypass password/fingerprint protection).

Can't test & confirm if "secure boot" works here (Note 9) but it SHOULD - at least it works in case of my DevBase and encrypted S9+
