I'm on Vodafone and they always seem to drag their heels when rolling out there upgrades

Note 9 are scheduled to get the pie update in Feb so you still have to wait about a month.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mimo2008:
On unlocked BTU in no rush to update it but will keep you informed if anything comes OTA but like last person said could be febs till we see something.

No bro, I'm from Egypt and some of note 9 users here and in the middle east already recieved Pie update.

How did you get that to work?

In the comments someone specifically asked about the UK EE build, and they were told it's not compatible as the device is not part of Multi-CSC OXM?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] SK Chowadry:
UK is probably one of the last to get updates. Cant wait so flashed an update.zip and works great
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hinnn:
You can download the official offline firmware via Samfirm now, don't have to download update.zip

CSC is XSG
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ant78:
Do you have a quick guide on how to do this ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] яι¢αя∂σ:
Download from sammobile or with samfirm app, model sm-n960f csc xsg

With odin v3.13.1 select bl, ap, cp, and HOME_CSC to update!

Note 9 powered off, press volume down and bixby buttons wile plug the usb-c then press volume up when asked, in odin you press start!

If in CSC field you choose the csc only file, the process will factory reset your device, due to pit configuration present on csc only.

HOME_CSC does not contain pit configuration so will only update. Always use odin v3.13.1 or later.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] SK Chowadry:
Updating through update.zip via recovery is much better then flashing via Odin.

Last week I tried to downgrade from ark3 to ark2 via Odin and used home-CSC ended up with frp lock had to visit Samsung service centre and they did factory reset and upgraded to ark3. Tried again using Odin and ended up with same result.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ant78:
I saw the Samsung ad saying January for the UK

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ant78:
Thanks , might try later on today
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] яι¢αя∂σ:
Sure, one or two things may get phone in problem:

-downgrade wile frp on and oem on

-use csc file contained in the fw pack

Your problem would be solved by flashing your current FW you had before doing the downgrade. Not mention you doing downgrade without backup info...

I just did my note 9 from ark3 to CSA2 just as i wrote, and many people can confirm, it worked without a problem!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cosimoss:
No point in waiting so flashed and working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cerealwar:
When I try this I'm getting the following error while pushing the update via ADB:

E2014: odm partition fails to recover

E:Error in /sideload/package.zip (Status 7)

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ant78:
how did you flash yours, what method and what source?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bensdad01:
No my phone came from sky os 02 but had an ee card. It is OXM
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cerealwar:
Ahhh, that explains the errors I'm getting then. Back to the waiting game for me!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] daniel4653:
Guess I was wrong lol. Seeing people get the Pie update now. [emoji39]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cosimoss:
Odin and SamFirm from the stock firmware thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cerealwar:
My CSC is N960FOBE2ARI7 - I think that's the problem, need to wait for the EE specific firmware. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Yes. According to that post, you need to be on ARL3. In order to apply an update.zip, you have to be on the correct base build number. You can't just flash it over whatever you have, otherwise you get that error 7.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] nbhadusia:
Will it work for me?

Hi, can anyone confirm if the firmware will work on my phone. It's from the UK and not locked to any network. I've attached the current firmware details. If it will, will flashing the new firmware change the region for the phone / cause issues with the radio/ modem for UK network compatibility? If the region does change, does that mean future OTA updates for the UK will no longer be automatically received? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaylence:
Yes. ARL3 ---> CSA2 will work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ant78:
let us know how you get on:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] nbhadusia:
Cheers Jay. Ant, worked flawlessly. Did it via adb. I didn't factory reset. All my apps and settings still goes. So far, very smooth and improved battery life.

Just thought I would post this for others that drive BMWs and use the phone for music over bluetooth. When I went to pie the music was in mono so worse than before. It was however more reliable when searching via Google assistant. I found that going into dev options and changing the bluetooth codec to use Sonys made huge difference and put the quality back as it was before and possibly better. I am stoked that finally this phone is working as designed :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ant78:
what am i looking for when i enter the code, what does it need to match? my note 9 is from Vodafone UK
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pigglett:
Just a heads up ant78 on my previous note 8 BTU I had working WiFi calling after flashing couple of OXM firmwares it was fine but on the last OXM update I lost WiFi calling with Vodafone nothing worked (factory reset etc) and I had to wait for Vodafone firmware to release same update and flash that to get WiFi calling back :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ant78:
Thanks for the info mate, I think I will wait for the official roll out then as I do like wifi calls
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pigglett:
Same here I'm sim free on Vodafone and signal can be iffy at home so WiFi calling is needed :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] SK Chowadry:
You can't flash this in Vodafone Note 9 if your CSC is VOD. Bcz VOD CSC doesn't comes under OXM. Flash only if your CSC is BTU/XEU
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ant78:
Seems like quite a lot of European countries are now getting the official pie roll out, has anyone been lucky or any info about the UK roll out?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pigglett:
As of 20:25 on 19/01/19 ..No
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Can anyone confirm if wifi calling is working properly on Pie. As the thing pissing me off with my note 9 oreo on EE the most is wifi calling does not work properly. And I need it quite alot for work etc. But doesnt work properly. My oneplus 5 used to work flawlessly how can this premium phone not have it working is beyond me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] beta546:
Got pie today, I'm on O2 but have an unbranded note 9 I bought from Switzerland, no VAT :P

Anyway, I wouldn't be getting excited if I were you, I would almost go as far as to say I now hate this phone thanks to this update. One ui is completely garbage, and so many nice and useful features are now gone.

I am just thankful I got adhel working again after updating or I genuinely think this phone would have been put through the wall by now :D

I had no reason to root the note 9 either, first time ever for me with an android phone, but now I have no choice but to root and fire up some custom ROMs, just to get my lovely phone back the way it was before Samsung took it and abused it with their filth lol.

I left the phone updating while I went to the shop, I came back and the poor thing was sat in the shower rocking back and forth trying to wash away the filth it had been filled with.

I do not like this update.....

Hi, I downloaded the XSG firmware from SamFirm for my UK Unlocked N960F/DS that I use with O2 and Vodafone. (The Multi OXM CSC includes the BTU CSC that my phone has defaulted to).

I can confirm that WiFi calling works just fine for me on both O2 and Vodafone lines.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ripnetuk:
What have they broken?

Ive been waiting for this update, since apparently Pie has better support for Xbox One bluetooth controllers.

I cannot flash the generic one, since I am on Three UK and they need 'special' firmware to enable VOLTE and their 800MHz network, which significantly improves coverage, so I have to wait for the official release

What have they broken that you dont like? im already aware that ill be losing voice call recording with this release (booooo!) but havent read anything else about the new experience being bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggy_s:

For o2 note 9 update we should get it this week guys
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] iceepyon:
The unlocked variants will probably get the Pie update first. The device which are branded by Cell Providers, will probably have to wait a while longer. As the Cell Providers will need to check that Pie works with their bloatware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mimo2008:
Did you flash the update through Odin or did you get it via OTA? When I got my update i turned off the phone hold the volume up button whilst holding the Bixby button and the power button once the Samsung logo appeared let go of all three buttons then once in bootloader select clear cache and then restart phone.

Other than that that's all i done.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Lol dont know if I'm keen on bits of the update. Clock has been moved to the left which is annoying. And not keen on the new phone app layout.

Wifi calling still doesnt work if volte is enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
I like the update. Everything seems to work. Came OTA yesterday. I'm on unlocked CPW 960f with EE (Exynos). Battery life is amazing. Like some of the new features like night view and the central touch points but still dont like the native samsung sms app as the delivery messages are received as notifications whereas my other sms apps (mysms) just adds a delivered notification under the text.

This is certainly more polished than the beta on my note 8 that I was using last week before getting my note 9 back from warranty work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] invisiblesense:
Hello,

Thanks for all your help! Finally solved the problem, I had to delete all Samsung Notes data and synced it all again, now it's working fine. So relieved!
