Hello guys
I used the mini tools to root my phone.
Installed BLN kernel without any problem.
My phone is on I8190LUBAMA1 and CSC I8190LZTOAMA1
i was looking at samsung-updates.com and saw some other firmwares newer than my stock.
Is it safe to download and install the firmware I8190LUBAMG2 ? Is marked as an Mexican firmware(I live in Brazil).
Installing this new firmware, do i lose cmw, root?
Thanks

Hi Sergio, it is safe to install the mentioned firmware, however, consider that you are going to lose CWM and root. Furthermore, as the firmware is Mexican, it contains local apps. So, if you are planning to move to this new firmware I suggest you to after do it install the cwm again through Odin and then a Custom Rom in order to get rooted again and remove those local apps. Regards
Reyesteban,
So if i install this firmware, it will update kernel and baseband, right?
Later, when i install a custom rom the kernel and baseband will be keeped from the mexican firmware?
The installation for the Mexican Firmware should be done via Odin? or i could use CMW?

The Firmware, as it is an official one, replaces kernel, baseband and even the boot screen and you just can install it through Odin. And you are right, when installing the custom rom, kernel and baseband will keep the same. However, boot, rom apps and look&feel are going to change...
Flash N910T with F910F ROM
Hello guys, I need your help. I got as I thought SM-N910F brand new in Russia with 4.4 KK. It worked fine except for being weak to work with 3G. 4G was OK. Russian localization was OK. When I tried to update the ROM, I discovered this device is not 910F but unlocked 910t instead. While experimenting with flash, I damaged efs. Then I restored it with Kies flashing stock ROM. So now I'be got lollipop phone which says "insert T-mobile SIM".
SI my idea is to flash it with some European ROM which support Russian language. Possibly, some 910f mod? Can somebody suggest which ROM to flash? Unfortunately, I didn't backup original ROM.

You cannot flash a N910T phone with a N910F custom or stock twrp flashable zip file rom.
What you need to do now is to find, download and ODIN flash the official firmware which
came with your phone in order to get your phone working properly again.
Sorry about that,
Have a great day!

Thank you, Misterjunky. There is no such a thing as "official firmware" for my phone. Because it was brought to Russia and unlocked unofficially as I can see now. They even changed the phone label on the back side. So they flash some custom firmware, I think so but I have no idea which one.
To put it more clear, what i have now is exactly official firmware. I've got it with Samsung Kies Tools - Firmware upgrade and initialization which downloads the official firmware based on model name and serial number. But unfortunately this is not what I need because it doesn't accept my local SIM
BoBCaTROM by @turilo worked for my device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...cial-bobcatromn910fton910tw8-v2-0nk5-t2992648
But the problem with 3G persists. Device works with 2G and 4G without problem, but doesn't work with 3G. Any ideas how to adapt modem from 910C to this model?
Hi I'm trying to flash the T-Mobile firmware from sammobile.com, but whenever I try, I get an error at 32% when it says Installing System Update. I attempted to flash CSC,AP,BL, and CP with it saying PASS in Odin. I really need the T-Mobile firmware and am wondering if it is possible to do? I determined that I cant install CSC files and get the error when I try. Any Solutions?
SM-G950U
Odin 3.12.3
T-Mobile Firmware:
PDA: G950USQU1AQD9
CSC: G950UOYN1AQD9
I'm having the same problem with an ATT phone flash with the US "U" unlocked version firmware. When I don't flash the csc it will start up only with the USB plug in but shut down after the beginning startup
Search for a "modified Odin". It was what I used to be able to flash unlocked firmware on a 7 and 7 edge a few months ago. The "normal" Odin wouldn't let me do it, but the modified one did. Though you may need to wait until it's been updated....I haven't checked it in awhile.
Still no solution to avoid the error to 32%?
Try this Odin. This is the one I used to flash the Canadian firmware on mine.
I managed with odin version 3.12.5! But only with BL AP and CP!
When I add CSC I get the error at 32%!
So a priori everything works, I no longer have the Verizon overlay (nor the logo at startup) more by cons I have duplicates in the settings menu ...
What is the CSC file?

The Canadian firmware you got it or? On sammobile I find it not:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/
The Canadian firmware is stock or operator?
I would have access to all the bands?
Its the firmware with the "w" at the end. Please read this thread for all the information on doing this and make sure you want to do it.

so to do this we actually have to go to the canadian firmware first, do the csc change then flash the Tmo firmware? You can't just flash the Tmo Firmware via the modded Odin? Just to save confusion.
I would imagine it's worth it just to get the proper network options, VOLTE, WiFi calling and such.

This is the exact thread that I used. Follow the steps and you can skip engboot. If you flash the full Canadian firmware, its impossible to reverse. So, only flash whatever is in the steps. I successfully went from Verizon To T-Mobile and then back to Verizon. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/switch-to-carrier-firmware-100-t3609487

I have done several searches re the above.
As stated in a previous post I want to change my phone back to tel/tel/tel from xsa/xsa /tel ( xsa is generic unbranded phone in australia and telstra is a branded in Australia phone )
I have no oem unlock available as it has not been 7 days since I have flashed my phone.
should it be possible to change the csc without oemunlock with olin_csc not home_csc ( and using the other associated firmware files bl,ap etc)
and picking f reset time, auto reboot and repartition in odin .
You're good, oem unlock is only needed for flashing custom binaries.
I'm curious, how did you get xsa/xsa/tel? I have been trying to achieve this but haven't had success.. I have flashed stock xsa rom with Odin with CSC and wiped everything and it's still tel/tel/tel. I even tried Optus software and it never changes..

I did the below with oreo firmware
flash xef french firmware and setup without simcard or sd card ( you will get xef/xef/tel) then flash xsa firmware
both times use csc not homecsc. you will get xsa/xsa/tel
I
but even though I tried to reverse the above with the telstra firmware instead of xsa after reflashing french to try to get back to telstra but it did not I still have xsa/xsa /tel. no biggy samsung pay volte and richtext messages work still . Just thought I might get back to branded for something to do.

Hello guys,
I have Samsung Note 9 (SM-N960F) and updated to Pie.
I usually use custom ROMs.
Recently after flashing a new custom ROM, I lost IMEI and signal.
To fix the problem, I flashed stock ROM successfully but IMEI is empty (UNKNOWN). There is not network signal.
I have previous custom ROM TWRP Backups. I restored to the old TWRP backups. But still the IMEI is UNKNOWN and no signal.
I had efs backup of a custom ROM as efs.img. I tried to restore it using Partition Backup app and terminal but no success.
I flashed Alexander's ROM (DEV BASE) as indicated in this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/lost-imei-please-help-t3847336
But still the IMEI and the signal problem is not resolved.
If you have any idea, please help me fix it.
Thanks.

what fine model you have?
anyways flash back full latest stock firmware for your device and ull get back imei.
use frija or samfirm tool to quickly download firmware.
when you flash dled firmware with odin, flash all .md5 files. also flash csc.md5 instead of home_csc.md5
if you fully flash latest October/November firmware as suggested it will work.
if you skip steps or don't use the latest files then it might not work.
once back on stock with signal, follow dr ketans guide for OEM root fix as per his pinned topic in the note 9 general discussion forums.
then flash back a recent custom rom.
suspected cause of your problems:
-modem mismatch with device model
-modem mismatch compaired to rom base
you should always flash/maintain BL and CP manually with Odin and never through rom zips. and always read rom OP regarding modem and bootlaoder.

Thank you for your info.
Currently I have slow internet connection. Anyways, I have started downloading the latest firmware using frija.
I will let you know after flashing the latest firmware when the download completes.
Thank you.
Exact same thing happened to flashing the same rom. Made my sim cards not detect. My phone has been down for a week. Finally have a day of work yesterday and fixed it by flashing stock bl, cp, and csc then flashing back to tgp rom.

I followed your guide and downloaded October firmware update and flashed.
But the problem is still there. No IMEI, No baseband.

Previously, I flashed October update. The flashing process completed successfully but the problem (IMEI & UNKNOWN) was not resolved. I posted the problem is not resolved here.
Then I downloaded another more recent update from another region and flashed and the problem is gone. My phone is full life.
Thank you bober10113. You helped me fix this problem.
Thank you m. murray too. I appreciate your help.
