My phone was up to date before I used the latest combination file for my model on that site. I didn't get any errors about downgrading.

As far as OTAs, I'm not sure yet, but worst case is you just need to flash new firmwares by Odin. I think it's definitely worth the trade off to get volte, vowifi and RCS if that's the case
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] arturodfw:
[MENTION=6991161]laneyyy[/MENTION] so the combination file it's on AP option in odin right
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] laneyyy:
Ooooh yes. I just saw that I accidentally wrote AT in the guide.

Why the Heck Samsung put region lock! if they do same thing on S10 then I must say goodbye to Samsung for ever!!

I can confirm it worked to replace the hedious Hong Kong CSC with a Costa Rica CSC, but just as others, I would like to see if I can use a firmware from US, meaning using a SM-N960U variant on a SM-N9600. Can someone please confirm?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] androidloveRs3104:
Ok so you have multi csc ( oxm). Android 10. You don't need to find combination file.

1. try from phone dial pad *#272*your IMEI NO.#

you should enter the csc change page there you can select which one you like and press install. Your data will erased.

2. If the above option don't work try to follow this link video

https://www.google.com/search?q=cha...sung-gn-rev1&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#

Or

https://www.mysterious-dev.com/2020/05/changecsc-all-samsung-free-tool-android.html?m=1

Also you will find details how to do it in the post before your 1st post.

3. If you really need combination file you have to search in Google with your model no which is N960FXXS5... you need Binary 5 combination file. I think you will not find that. In this method you might need to downgrade to android 9.

I suggest you to follow 1 or 2.

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

By the way remember to remove your sim until phone completes startup while changing csc by 1 or 2 no. Method.

It's been a while since I received any OTA update for my phone. I guess Samsung will not provide any update for my phone so I've to do it manually.

Which stable version of stock rom shall I download and flash my phone for Android 10 and One UI 2.0 (or 2.1)?

Frija do not show any rom to download.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] androidloveRs3104:
try indian or UAE stock firmware. csc will be INS for indian and XSG for UAE. you can actually download any oxm I mean multi csc based stock. you can find latest firmware information in sammobile website. you can also download that file with Freja by manual input.

I don't know which csc you are running but it is multi csc.

you can check your active csc by going

about phone>software information look there for Service provider SW ver. check the last line. you will find csc/csc,csc/csc like this. the first csc will decide your ota.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] razortooth:
Tried manual input in Freja but didn't work. Will check sammobile website.

Last line of Service provider SW ver. read as..

INS/INS, NS/XSG
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] androidloveRs3104:
ok that's good that means you have Indian csc. India has released Android 10 one ui 2.1 for note 9.

check the numbers for Indian firmware in sammobile and download it flash it via Odin. you can download latest Indian firmware via Freja also.

or you can check for update via smart switch PC app.

Which could give you update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] razortooth:
Tried with Smart Switch PC app..

it says: Your device software is up to date: SBA(INS)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] androidloveRs3104:
why don't you download the file and flash via odin

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PlutoDelic:
Guys,

Are these two methods valid for changing CSC. In this case, between two CSC's that are inside the OXM region.

Method 1: Wipe through recovery, have SIM card from the "NEW" CSC inside while setting up.

Method 2: Wipe through CSC_ package through ODIN, same as above with the SIM?

OR is this method obsolete now?

PS, in case of success, are both SIM Slots changed? Even if the 2nd one is empty?

Thanks.

EDIT: Obviously this doesn't work anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PlutoDelic:
Any chance you got out of this mess? happened here too.

Phone wont even turn off. Boot normally to the KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE. If i try to hard-reboot to download mode, it says POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE. Recovery mode also reboots constantly failing to load the partitions.

This smells hard brick, but Odin didnt push anything through, there must be something to do over it.

EDIT: there's a stupid way out.

Make sure you head for the download mode button layout, to reboot once again to the "POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE." again, for some reason it doesnt work from the "KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE".

Stay there for like 20 seconds.

Power up Odin on your computer. Get the cable ready, but dont connect the phone.

Initiate a hard-reboot (vol down + power), and as soon as it restarts (screen is off), get all your fingers OFF and QUICKLY ONLY ON Vol Down and Bixby, and connect the cable before any output is shown. The window of opportunity is idiotically small.

Also, regarding the Guide. While i made it to download mode again, it still got stuck without pushing anything yet again, and for some reason it does that with trying to get the PIT file for the partition layout.

On my second try, i extracted the PIT file from the CSC tar.md5 and loaded it on the Odin Pit tab, and the rest as usual. Worked like a charm.

What a fiasco for a bloody CSC change.

Hi All, i currently have an SM-N9600 Note 9 with the following firmware info.

PDA N9600ZHU1ARL3

CSC N9600TGY1ARL3

Baseband N9600ZCU1ARL3

I require a CSC from the Note 9 SM-N960F firmware, having an INS CSC

The thing is i need a CSC from the Exynos variant while i have the snapdragon variant.

Can i use the method described in this thread?

Can I

1. Flash the combination file

2. Change CSC to INS using Realterm and

3. Flash only the BL, AP, CP but not CSC?

CSC contains the PIT file specific to the processor variant i guess so can i make it work like this?

Can someone please explain what exactly is going on while performing each of these steps?

Does the combination file on its own not be booted into and used as a normal rom?

If none of this works, how do i even root and change the CSC?

I'm new to samsung devices and it has been a nightmare using it due to this stupid CSC lock. I wish i had stayed with Sony. :(

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
thats the issue with XAC region(canada). they all have the same basic QS tiles if i remember correctly. bejng rooted ive added hotspot, mobile data etc but on n960w i believe you will have to adb it. there was a guide on the proper commands to send dor the s7:

That's pretty cool although Odin attempts CSC works perfect no root.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
? flashing unmodified csc from other providers won't get you anywhere. pretty sure all canadian providers are missing the quick setting tiles mentioned before.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] DAGr8:
It's not modified, it's stock att flashed on my Rogers. That was my first point. I didn't need to manually add apn and the toggle is there.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Abu-khulzat:
I was following the procedure, but in very last step while flashing new firmware something happened to ODIN, it failed to flash it. I tried to restart the phone, but it entered KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE. I was trying to get of this, but I was only able to enter recovery mode which didn't work properly either. It was indefinitely looping between installing update screen and other screen with error messages.

If I try to Volume down power for some time, I get POWER RESET OR UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE.

So, no way out to get into download mode again.

Rookie question, just purchased a UK model N960F how do I know which CSC to use for Canada? I'm using it on Rogers and Bell, and would like to get volte, wifi calling etc.

I use this phone for work, so can't trip knox. Also will this block me from getting the pie update OTA?

Thanks in advance.

hph198
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sefrcoko:
I don't think you can change CSC from an N960F to an N960W without rooting, and I'm not sure you can get volte, etc. without the proper csc.... But rooting would trip Knox of course, and even then some providers like Rogers require devices to be whitelisted, which I've read they will not do on non Rogers models... the phone itself will still work with those providers though, just not straightforward for CSC change, volte, etc. Why not get the N960W instead if you don't need root but want Rogers or Bell csc/features?

4g IS lte. its just that the csc you are using dosent have the right logos. Its cosmetic really. 4g is the speed. LTE is the technology used to achieve those speeds.

for wifi calling its under the phone app' own settings. there might not be a quick settings tile. Volte might also be something of interest. again, if not available under the quick settings tile, it might be in the system/connections/mobile networks.
