Stay with oreo
System updates bring a newer look to your phone, fixes bugs, solves most heating problems (which mostly depends upon your phone's processor) and gives you a faster and improved performance and they are often necessary for device security or efficiency. And be sure to install (and use) Secure Update Scanner so you don't fall victim to the pileup flaw.
First, sorry if my english is not the best.
I have buyed second hand an s9 note, wich was updated to android 10 Pie. I need call recording to work, i have call recorder pro, but as you know gogle removed ability to record calls. I want to downgrade to oficial oreo 8.0 or 8.1, but on odin 3.13.1 in download mode i get binary error ( bootloader locked). I can not understand policy that samsung fore user. If i have an pc and want windows xp on him, what is the problem ? If the phone has initiali oreo, why is forced the user to update and cannot revert back ? I am deeply disapointed about samsung methods. Why you pay past 1000 Euro (on release) on something that canot help you in the long run ? Why samsung dont listed to user need to revert back ? Internet is full of thread with this problem, is full of thread that promise to show how to downgrade to oreo but most of them did not work. I am not a geek of phones, i have some background in it repair shop, but that is all i know.
I need desperatly to get call recording, as i need in my daily work, tried more than 10 apps in the store none of them working good (only my voice is recorded and no asigned contact number)
Is there a way to officialy downgrade to oreo or achieve call recorder corectly in android 10 ? My phone dont have knox triped (any way is out of waranty). I fear to root because i use internet banking. If i go to a samsung service will be able to help me ?
I am in romania (europe). I DON'T care if we put an firmware from india (readed that in this country work call recorder,) if language for phone is at least enghlish, and all other apps work well.
Please help me !

You are on latest bootloader so Downgrade to oreo is impossible once you upgraded to android 10.
One thing you can do is to root your phone and flash custom rom that supports built in call recorder in dialer app.
Alexis rom 1.4 has built in call recording feature so you can have call recording working with android 10.
But you have to unlock bootloader and install Twrp recovery to flash this custom rom.

Many thanks. Although i do not want in principle to rooting, seem that is the only way. I feel so cheated by samsung and google. I have some background in pc repair and here you can put whatever os do you like, my hardware my software. But this android makes me crazy, and hammer my liberty of actions. It is real unfair that canot revert to oficial rom, from the begining of product life, I am sory becouse maybe i had to make my leson before to buy this pretey device.
Thanks a lot, Is it posible to downgrade in cascade, to 9 and after to 8 ?

No it's impossible even to downgrade to pie because you are on latest android 10 bootloader 5 and pie is on bootloader 4 & 3 and oreo is on bootloader 1 & 2 so forget it.
And even if you downgrade somehow to pie the call recording will not work on pie either it's only work on oreo or earlier android.
Only way to get call recording is to unlock bootloader and install custom rom via Twrp recovery.

Some banking apps and samsung apps dont work with rooted phone such as samsung pay and some knox related apps but with magisk root you can hide root from banking apps .
If i ware you i won't risk to root my phone just to get call recording.
I rather buy a cheap used or any budget phone with earlier android and use as my secondary phone to get call recording.
But if you flash custom rom you will get lot of features that are not available on stock firmware.
The developers put lot of effort to make this roms and enabled lot of cool features that Samsung has disabled.

What? You had an update notification for OneUI 2.1 ?
It's not supposed to be out yet: https://piunikaweb.com/2020/06/06/s...e-ui-2-1-update-to-release-mid-of-this-month/
About call recording I'm pretty sure it's carrier / country dependent so that's why some users have it and some don't.

Install samsung phone info. Most of the firmwares are multi csc. If I'm not mistaken, you could switch to other csc easily as long as your csc listed in the firmware. I'm not sure which csc(s) have call recorder though.
I myself with custom rom, so I'm not sure if stock has call recorder.
You can try flashing the Indian firmware as I too saw that topic on Samsung forums but there's no guarantee that it'll work. If not flash some custom ROM and it'll work then.

Need help with recording
i find another option here on xda with a member who seem to find a very good rout for achieve call recording.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/enabling-native-call-recorder-csc-t3962224/page2
Problem is i am puzzled on tons of firmware on tons on country on tons of models, on tons of carier, Momentarily i dont understand very wel how is crosed. i like the universality of windows instal and linux instal . Why not these device are seed like simply computers and instal what ever we want, with drivers and like ?
If someone can sugest a step by step procedure . I am good to fallow the procedure but i have problem to choose files. (and files - is crucialy). I dont understand very well why my phone if buyed in europe , not work in india if the hardware is supposed to work ? This kind of restriction make me feel nervous and humiliated.
here is a screenshot to post on xda in case that server scramble the link i posted (why scrambled- there is no reclama or ofending ...)
https://ibb.co/bWCqf98
SOLVED
Finaly solved my problem, with help from some info and users on romanian softpedia forum.
First, download latest oxm firmware for your phone if exist (for my phone s9 note 8gb 512, exynos it is).
Second, flash phone with this firmware.
Last. Put an thailand sim in your phone, reset to factory with new sim (this make your phone to accept new csc). i have now (02, first, buyed from uk, rom, and thai). After that restart phone and change sim with your curent sim carier. If everything worked, native cal recording apear. As a plus, cal recorder pro working now behalf cal recording, wich is very handy, becouse it has a lot more options.
I am not a geek, but i was desperete, suficient to long time find a way to achive but worlds, a good phone and call recording.
Many thanks to all friend who take time to replay to this question, and sory if my enghlish is not the best.
