Hello XDA community
I am from India and i bought a Galaxy Note 8 from Dubai. Since I was not able to get VoLTE in my device through all general troubleshooting methods, I thought of giving a try to flashing the Indian Android O firmware of Note 8 available on sammobile.
I flashed BL, AP, CSC etc from Odin and the flashing went smooth. I would request developers for Note 8 to answer the 2 questions
1. After flashing this firmware, I am noticing some lags in system and delays in opening third party apps, so is this the general problem of Android O for Note 8?
2. If I try the emergency recovery option in SmartSwitch (which will take my phone back to Dubai firmwar), will SmartSwitch flash all the sections or just the AP?

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I performed a clean installation.
Still I feel that third party apps take more time to load. Webpages in chrome also take too much time to load.
Is it the general problem with Oreo or just me.
I hope it's ok if I flashed the Indian firmware to a Dubai region phone considering my device is SM-N950F I flashed the Indian firmware of SM-N950F only.

gotta give it some time for things to smooth out usually. but other than that it might just be you.
Hi everybody,
My phone is stock except root. I rooted it only for adaware and titanium backup.
I'm using these for years and there's no reason to change that
A long long time ago I had a Galaxy S3. But thnings have change a lot in the Samsung's World. I'm comming from Oneplus' world
With my other phones, I had to install a "update.zip" from TWRP.
I cannot found things like this for the Note 9.
So, how to upgrade ? (Dirty flash pie to pie)
With Odin ?
For small update I preafer to try first the dirty flash to save time. If the phone seems to slow, I'll made a clean install, but I really want to avoid the root process to install TWRP at every update.
Thanks

You can't avoid the root process, everytime you update you will need to root again! Also download SAMFIRM.EXE and use Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD to flash the update files.. See 7th post here for the tools--> https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/downgrade-to-android-oreo-t3890956

Unfortunately you can't downgrade. Once you have flashed a higher bootloader version you are stuck with it.
If you are on bootloader v5 you may be able to downgrade to the last Oreo build, I am not 100% sure on that though.
Only if they are same bootloader

You need to be rooted to be able to get that working again, some roms also have that patched already...
Although the thread is about the s7 I believe it is exactly the same for our note 8.

I dont want to root again.... rooting will not let banking apps work.moreover if i wanted to root. Root files for note 8 pie are not available right now. I installed patched app but it does not have heart rate monitor and spo2 which renders heart rate sensor useless.... thats why i am so desperate for that app

You can flash TWRP, copy /system/build.prop to the PC or SD Card, edit it on the PC, put it back in /system.
Once you are done, just flash stock revovery via TWRP.
It sounds hard, but it's eazy if you know what you are doing. Banking apps will still work, and with build.prop edited s health will work too.
I am not gonna walk you trough the entire process but this is a summary.

Oooh that, it's nothin.
You just need to hold volume up + bixby and power just before the phone auto restarts from download mode. When you do that it will boot twrp.
If you don't understand it go watch MaxLee on youtube, his method of flashing twrp on s8/n8

The way I know it, there is no way without twrp or root, and you said you don't want root because of banking apps.
If you flash twrp, do the thing with build.prop, and then flash stock recovery, you could still recive OTA updates and banking apps will work.
You just have to set up s health before the next OTA because that will revert built.prop back to normal.
But as long as you set up s health before that it will be ok.

The reason you can't install the modded version is because the version that was modded is less than pre-installed version on the device. As of now, you can't downgrade apps, only upgrade. Your only option is to wait for someone to patch a later version from the version you got installed on your phone.
I think someone can even just change a number in AndroidManifest.xml install it and then just upgrade.
I'm sure a patched version will pop-up again somewhere on xda, just make sure it's later version than the version pre-installed into the system.

Hi everyone,
I bought a Note 9 a few days ago and its rooted. It has got Android 9 One UI 1.0
I wanted to update the software but it has no software update option.
So I thought maybe I can download the latest software on it through odin.
It is N950F model. On settings, it has the following baseband version: N960FXXU2ZRLR
SE for Android status is showing the following: Enforcing SEPF_SM_N960F_P03_Dr.KetanROM
And bootloader is showing something like this: N960NKSU3CSG3
Now I'm really confused that which firmware should I download?
Can anyone help?
I would recommend that you download and install android 10 to your Note 9.

Use 'samsung phone info' in playstore. Check which csc the phone originally. Download that csc's firmware and flash.
By right any firmware should do but who knows.

once rooted you will lose knox protection, secure folder Samsung health and yes oem updates. even if you flash official again you may receive oem updates but some oem features may not function again. so u might have two options here. one is to re flash via odin the official firmware and use the phone without some features as i mentioned above! also now that our beloved note 9 got the final 2.1 major firmware update it is highly unlikely to get anymore upgrades such as oneui 2.5 but will continue to receive monthly security updates! then the second option is we have some great devs like dr.ketan, AlexisXDA, etc with highly customized roms and many workarounds to get features like S-health and secure folder working and they do keep upgrading the roms and we might even expect to get oneui 2.5 features from them which is excellent. i too am still on stock rom not even rooted but will start having fun flashing roms after my warranty expires for sure! cheers

Hi everyone,
I had updated my Galaxy Note 9 with March 2020 update and I am one among many poor souls who are suffering from display discoloration, horizontal lines during low brightness and over heating.
- I have tried all possible methods as suggested by Samsung team in their US community page, tried factory reset multiple times, nothing worked. Took screenshots of the screen and shared it to other to check if the problem is with display, but the screenshots were just fine, no colour distortion or verticle lines. So i am of the opinion that, its basically software glitch in March update.
So, I have some following specific queries. I tried looking for these queries in the forum but did not find any, so, have collated all my queries below:
- My current Bootloader version is 5. Is there any process by which i can downgrade my Bootloader from 5 to 4? I would like to go back to January update.
- If I root my phone and install custom rom (latest version of Linage OS. You guys can suggest a good OS, if you have tried one), will the display problem be solved?
- After installing custom rom as mentioned above, can I go back and install stock firmware with Bootloader version 4?
As you can see, I am just trying to find a solution to come out of display problem. Any other suggestions or any tried and tested solutions are welcome.
Thanks everyone in advance

I tried to downgrade to pie ..still no success...it has same issue...
I also believe that its software issue or some connection issue
Sue samsung for trying to force user to change screen. Samsung's screen is so expensive. Apple was fined for throttling the iphones.
I have same issue on my N9600... :'(
What is causing the distortion? Sofware bug? Can shot a picture showing the issue?

Ita all over the internet. Just Google Samsung galaxy note 9 display discoloration.
I don't know if this will solve your problem but you would be able to flash a Android 9 ROM on a Android 10 bootloader. If you're like me you hate Android 10. What you do is you flash Android 9 bootloader made for twrp flash the Android 9 rom of your choice. Than flash the Android 10 bootloader that you want via Odin, than fastly reflash twrp for Android 10
For me it works but I kind of jerry-rigged it to work. I regret every day updating to Android 10 but since I'm able to still run Android 9 on an Android 10 bootloader, I'm okay with that.
Hope this kind of help you.

only way is to trip knox by rooting and then flashing an android 9 rom. as you know once it has been tripped you will instantly lose access to samsung pay, secure folders etc. however on the plus side you have the choice of root or non root.
Hi guys,
Me and my mum are experiencing a similar situation.... I'm trying to downgrade my galaxy Note8 boot-loader, everything was working till I press the button to upgrade. Now I cant use any memory card all i see is 'the Sandisk card is not supported' and for my mum's Note 9 when she activates the biometric sensor the phone restarts each 15 - 30 mins. I always bought Samsung but now I'm considering to don't do it anymore...
How do you install android pie over android 10 BL

I don't know if this will solve your problem but you would be able to flash a Android 9 ROM on a Android 10 bootloader. If you're like me you hate Android 10. What you do is you flash Android 9 bootloader made for twrp flash the Android 9 rom of your choice. Than flash the Android 10 bootloader that you want via Odin, than fastly reflash twrp for Android 10
For me it works but I kind of jerry-rigged it to work. I regret every day updating to Android 10 but since I'm able to still run Android 9 on an Android 10 bootloader, I'm okay with that.
Hope this kind of help you.

Hi, ok so assuming we don't care about tripping knox, rooting and flash.. still, how would this be done?
I'm on a SM-N9600 atm, with latest Android 10, rooted and TWRP installed. Where do I find a custom Android 9 Rom (compatible with my model) that I can flash via TWRP?
Thanks in advance

All you do is just flash the android 9 rom. Downgrading the bootloader makes no difference if you have already unlocked it. The whole point of it is for people who are on later bootloaders and still have knox and want to go to android 9 which is not possible without the trip.

Hi @A|ex , thanks for your answer. I still don't know where I can find a custom Android 9 rom, compatible with Note 9 snapdragon (SM-N9600) that I could flash via TWRP... (Assuming it's impossible to flash stock Android 9 via Odin even if my phone is currently already rooted on latest Android 10 (bootloader == 5).
Here on XDA there are some ROMs for the Exynos model but nothing except the 'WETA' rom for Snapdragon model, which is not a full rom anyway from what I understand.
If you could shed some light on this it would be much appreciated: where can I find a custom Android 9 rom, flashable via TWRP, compatible with a rooted SM-N9600 (currently on latest Android 10, with a BL==5, unlocked)?
Thanks again for any help!!
