Thanks bro !
I can flash this ROM with Rodin like lollipop ?
of course with full wipe

Flash with Odin
Wipe Data is not required if you come from TW Rom
Happy flashing...

Is this the Italian branded "Three" ROM?
I am currently upgrading to think after flashing the relevant BOC3 ROM.

What region is this?

For the knox counter is ok? Don't change anything?

Has anyone successfully flashed this gdrive firmware?
I tried it twice on my BTU 910F, and twice it failed near the end.
Any remedy?

Yes I've flashed it fine. You will more than likely need to flash a pit file to repartition your phone in line with the content/partition sizes of this particular firmware. It isn't really uncommon.
I've noticed the forum is swamped with similar posts of similar problems so have a search. I read this morning that someone had posted a tutorial on how to get around this.
sent from my Galaxy Note 4

How frustrating, I have a working link but can't paste it as I haven't reached 10 posts.
I'll say that I went to stackoverflow and searched for "google drive limit number of download", which has a solution to re-present the original firmware download url in a way that can be downloaded
Sorry I can't just paste the links, but I understand why

How to solve the problem rooting not possible?

not working anymore, try mega links

Download Link
Updated link on first post, sorry...

Works perfectly. I had to retar the archive as explained in other threads by removing hidden.img and cache.img, since I had the infamous "too big" error message. After few hours of trials, everything seems fine and indeed the UX is significantly smoother. I have a 910F model.

In English then.... How can I download it?
There's no working link to it, anywhere I can find!?

awesome - so just a standard odin flash yeah? I've only ever had the problem of the "not enough space" message when I tried going backwards to a uk EE version of 5.01. This is a standard unlocked version? There's people talking about it being 3 software?

Yes it has 3 boot animation and software, but you can uninstall 3 software.

N960U AT&T USERDATA Links and Flashing Discussion

For those who aren't already aware, N960U is the model number of all of the US carrier versions of the Note 9. The N960U1 is the model number of the same device, but sold by Samsung SIM unlocked and with no carrier bloatware. Firmware is 100% interchangeable among these models: any U or U1 firmware version can be flashed to any U or U1 device at any time, assuming that you're not trying to downgrade the bootloader. A "U to U" or "U1 to U1" flash does not require a factory reset, but changing from one firmware to the other will require one. Also, U firmware is identical for the 4 base files (AP, BL, CP, CSC) for each individual build, no matter which carrier it comes from. So if you download 2 different carrier versions of the exact same build, the 4 base files will be identical. Where the firmware differs is in the USERDATA file - that's where the carrier bloatware and customizations reside.
Manual Odin flashing is designed for those who:
- want to manually update to a newer version of U firmware on their U device, either because they don't want to wait for their carrier's OTA or because OTAs aren't working on their device, or a different carrier got a new feature/patch before they did
- want to flash U1 firmware to their U device
- want to convert from U1 firmware to carrier U firmware
- want to convert from one carrier's U firmware (with all apps and bloatware) to a different carrier's U firmware (with all apps and bloatware)
For those who aren't already aware, anyone can now download firmware for almost any Samsung device any time that they want, via the various firmware download tools posted here on XDA like SamFirm or Frija. There are threads and info about them here on XDA so I won't waste time explaining - do a search if you're not already familiar with these tools. But they only provide whatever the latest/newest/current version is - nothing older. I pay for a subscription to a site that gets the official releases (usually) before they hit the firmware download tools, so that's where my files come from.
This is not a "beginner's guide to Odin flashing" -type post/thread, so I won't list basic, step-by-step flashing instructions. My threads are geared towards those who already know what they're doing. If you're new to manually flashing Samsung firmware (or haven't done it in a long time), I recommend you consult one of those "beginner's" guides- there are tons of them here on XDA.
Happy flashing!
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=282951
Notes:
- DON'T QUOTE THE OP WHEN YOU REPLY, kthx
- I have lots of threads just like this one for other Samsung flagships, if it interests you. For those who have already made use of my previous threads for a different device and are upgrading to a Note 9, welcome back
- My zips are compressed extra small for space and bandwidth savings. The default Windows extractor can't handle it, so you'll need a 3rd party tool like 7zip, WinRAR, etc
- it's quite time consuming to download the files, zip them up, and upload them to AFH. And, I do threads like this for every single Sx and Note x model, so I won't be uploading every single version. The only full builds that I upload are ones where I get access to a new bootloader and/or Android version early, before they hit the firmware download tools.
- My naming method for folders on AFH is: build - bootloader - Android version
So "SAT - 1 - 9.0" means the full build number ends in SAT, it's bootloader version 1, and it's Android 9.0. When bootloader and Android versions increment, the first build to have those changes will have its folder notated appropriately.
- HOME CSC file keeps data intact; using the other CSC will wipe data. Flashing USERDATA will also wipe data.
- Since AT&T doesn't allow their firmware to be publicly available (for any of their devices), I'll try to always upload at least one USERDATA per bootloader increment for AT&T (and Cricket, if they get this model). I'll also upload any full builds if AT&T is the only carrier to get that specific build, because you won't be able to find the files anywhere else.
- For identifying USERDATAS, and to know what region/CSC to use in the firmware download tools if you're downloading yourself:
AIO = Cricket (not available via firmware download tools)
ATT = AT&T (not available via firmware download tools)
BST = Boost Mobile
CCT = Xfinity Mobile (Comcast)
CHA = Spectrum Mobile (Charter)
DSH = Dish Network
SPR = Sprint
TMB = T-Mobile
TMK = Metro PCS
USC = US Cellular
VZW = Verizon (available via firmware download tools, but Manual Entry is required - Auto will not work)
XAA = U1 firmware
- the correct procedure for switching from one carrier's firmware to another carrier's firmware is:
1. Flash full U1 firmware package including non HOME CSC
2. Upon boot, insert a SIM of the carrier whose firmware you want
3. Watch for the popup that says "reboot to apply new carrier settings" etc, and do it
4. After that restart completes, reboot back to Download mode and flash the full U firmware package, with the USERDATA file of the carrier whose firmware you want

I'm currently on N960USQS2CSGB with my phone being on AT&T's network. Originally it was a Verizon note 9 and I swapped the SIM card. I then flashed the unlocked firmware to it to try to get VoLTE to work, but that didn't work so I flashed N960USQS2CSGA to the phone in hopes that I could get AT&T's firmware working. If I'm understanding correctly the USERDATA is where all the AT&T specific software and code is, so I'm wondering if I flash just the USERDATA, could I get the AT&T specific features to work. I got the OTA update to N960USQS2CSGB but that didn't fix the issue.

I'm assuming AT&T since some of their apps installed themselves and I have an AT&T boot logo, but I didn't flash the USERDATA when I flashed it back to the N960U firmware from the N960U1.

Thanks! I guess I'll be buying a new phone then, because I'm missing calls. The phone has to drop down from LTE to make or receive a call and it takes several seconds. I've had people call me and it ring all the way through before my phone steps down. When I make a call it takes about 10-15 seconds before it rings out. Oh well, I appreciate your help and quick replies!

Then that probably means that you don't have VoLTE in your area, or that you have poor signal in your area. I'm not sure that changing phones is going to help

That was my original thought, but my wife has an AT&T branded note 9 that she bought direct from AT&T and hers works correctly. I'm trying to hold out for the Galaxy Fold, but I may end up going ahead and getting an AT&T note 10

Then maybe they won't provision your IMEI for VoLTE because they know it's not originally their device. They do that with wifi calling

Before you buy a new phone, try flashing the latest AT&T update from here along with the user data from this thread if that download doesn't contain it. (It should). I'm trying to download to verify but it's only downloading at 1 MB/s for me.

These are used for converting from one carrier's U firmware to AT&T's, or from U1 firmware back to U firmware with AT&T features and bloat. I know these are much tougher to find than other carriers' files - they can't be obtained from SamFirm or SamMobile. So I'll be uploading at least one for each bootloader version. Firmware is universal on U models so you can use the other 4 Odin files from any other firmware of the same build. Can probably even mix and match builds (as long as the Android version is the same), if you can't find files for the exact same build. Can't mix and match bootloaders though, so the other 4 files have to at least be from the same bootloader.
- I remove the .md5 from each file solely for faster flashing (Odin won't check the hash without it). Rest assured, the files are perfectly fine and safe - Odin has a million safechecks built in.
- My naming method for AFH folders is: build - bootloader - Android version.
So "SAT - 1 - 9.0" means the full build number ends in SAT, it's bootloader version 1, and it's Android 9.0. When bootloader and Android versions increment, the first build to have those changes will have its folder notated appropriately.
- USERDATAs for any other CSCs can be gotten from SamFirm - for the latest version. If you need an old USERDATA for a CSC that's not commonly found on SamMobile (ACG, LRA, TFN, etc), let me know and I can probably get it.

Do you ha e the user data for SGB-2? I saw that you have SGA-2. Interchangeable? Or if they are not, do you have SGB-2?

Noob question but if I do flash the N960USQU2CSGA firmware for AT&T with the USERDATA provided here, I should be good for my unlocked Note 9 which is on N960U1UES2CSF9 right?
Also I would be able to get future updates OTA since I have an AT&T sim, right?
Thanks!

Try an open firmware via Odin of your country if you have a Exynos SOC.
Flash via Odin with your prepaid sim card installed. Normally your csc code changed after this.
Use JDownloader to download free fw updates like websites sammobile.
JDownloader still has a crc check to beware corrupt download archiv.

If he purchased the phone in the US from AT&T as he stated, it won't be an Exynos, UT yes he can use Odin and update manually.

Same is the case with me like OP but I do get notification on Smart Switch that a new update is available. The size is 5GB which means it's a full ROM and not just OTA equivalent file. I need to know if installing the update will wipe the phone or not.
There's no mentioning of this aspect anywhere in Smart Switch help section or on the update notification.

now will i receive OTA future updates or i have to do it manually ?

If you want to test for OTA updates, use "settings - software update" manually...
Also, if you want Android 10 beta, download Samsung members app in playstore and register for open beta.
For safe debugging: Activate developer options - oem unlock!
Please use the thanks button... [emoji6]
Have fun and no problem.

I tried to install One UI 3 android 11 and didn't let me install it's said current software is up to date, this is AT&T carriers so please help me, thank you.

Note9 Signapore version not getting OTA for Android 10

I have been using Note9 Exynos 128GB Singapore version. Last update was on October'19. I'm yet to get Android 10 update. Need to know is there anyone facing same issue? Anyone have any update on getting OTA for Singapore version?

According to Samsung, the note 9 in all Versions will not get Android 10 before February 2020. My Provider here in Europe told me the same, so i made oan update with odin.
But anyway, the update is officially not out yet, according to samsung.

If I do update using odin, will I need to do rooting? One I update using Odin, will there be official update coming regularly?

It hasn’t been release yet in Singapore.
Samsung said February. However today is Feb 26 and still nothing. The gang of three (Singtel, Starhub and M3) have to put their rubbish in the rom so they won’t meet the deadline I think. Every year the same story. Singapore gets less frequent update than other markets making Samsung phones a real security hazard. I have to praise Apple for cutting the telcos and going on their own update cycle.
I applied the update on my Note 9 but I am having battery life issues. Have to use power saving mode all the time if not the battery is gone within half a day. I will do a full reset once the official XSP built for Singapore is out.

My wife's s9 has received the update. Me on the other hand, note 9, still nothing. They are Soo freaking slow with updates.

I downloaded and flashed the German rom from sammobile website using odin. Now my note 9 is running One UI 2 and Android 10 with Feb 2020 security patch. Everything seems to be working well so far
Note: when flashing using Odin, select "home csc" to preserve user data, or "csc" for full wipe. Personally I did a full wipe
Using N960F bought from M1, using on Gomo network (previously Starhub)

Can you please teach me how to update my NOTE 9 128gb variant from STARHUB? I'm getting frustrated about this. Everyone in the whole world got the android 10 update, Singapore is always last on the list.

You should be getting it soon. As I got the Android 10 update a couple of months after it was released in Germany.

All the countries using the N960F Variant received the Android 10 update. There is even up to 4 different built with bug fixes and security updates.
Last built released in Singapore: Oct 24...

You can follow these steps (works for both telco and retail models, so will work on your Starhub model too):
1. Download the firmware for N960F model from sammobile ( I downloaded both UK BTU and German DBT rom and both worked - currently using the German one, I think it doesn't matter which country the firmware is designed for as long as it isn't tied to a specific carrier).
Note: the rom is quite big, around 5GB so be patient. I left my laptop on overnight while the rom downloaded.
2. Unzip the rom and you should see 5 files inside the folder
3. Use Odin to flash the files (please backup all data before attempting to make any modification to your software - I used Samsung cloud to back up phone settings and manually backed up everything else to micro sd)
a) download latest odin version and unzip it. Run the exe
b) Add the respective files. The BL, AP, CP and CSC files are named accordingly. Make sure to select the correct files for each selection while flashing. To preserve data on your phone, select the home csc file instead of csc. Selecting csc will wipe the entire phone giving you a clean reset.
c) your phone needs to be booted to recovery mode in order to flash the rom
4. Enjoy your Samsung note 9 with Android 10
If unsure, just google for detailed instructions on how to use odin.
Hope it helps!

All noted! Thank you very much. Last question. My Note 9 from Starhub is still on plan, and only for starhub carrier. Can I change the firmware even if this one still not finished on payment?

Yup this is no issue. Flashing the official samsung rom via Odin is like manually updating the software and we are not making any "illegal" modification which can trip Knox, so no worry about warranty being voided.
I have attached a screenshot of my current software info. As you can see, my handset was bought from M1 shop. After I flashed a non-Singapore rom, the original carrier info remains intact so I can use the phone without any issue. In your case, after flashing the rom, your carrier info will still remain as Starhub
If you manage to update your phone successfully to Android 10 with no issue, just post it here so that others can update their phones too. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Reminder: Please backup everything before updating to be on the safe side

I'm back! I followed your instruction and the instruction from Sammobile. Everything went well! So far no problem after updating to Android 10. At first I was worried that when I upgrade it, my phone will be locked or bricked because I'm still paying it monthly at Starhub. But now I can still use my phone. I made sure to back up first using Samsung Smart Switch. I love the android 10 update. Everything becomes smooth and fast! Thank you very much!

SM-N950F Note 8 UK update help

Hi,
I have a note 8 (SM-N950F) UK. It's unlocked and is still on Android 8.0.0 and the security patch version is 01/04/2018.
When I try do an OTA update it says I've got the latest version of the software installed. I've downloaded Samsung Smart Switch and and that says "Your device software is up to date: RD7(XEU)
I don't think my note 8 has a OEM version of the rom on it. (When I originally got it, I believe it was on the EE network, but wasn't locked to that network).
I was wondering if anybody can help me with the fact i can't seem to update it to Android version to 9 or update the security software.
The details are:
AP: N950FXXU3CRD7
CP: N950FXXU3CRB9
CSC: N950FOXM3CRDC
Don't really know what the above means, but would like to update the ROM to Android 9.
Many thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
Terry.

BACKUP First!!
On PC: (computer)
-Download samfirm.exe or frija
-Download latest Odin version (can be found in sammobile.com firmware section or google search)
-Open up samfirm.exe or frija use : SM-N950F and XEU in the search fields and download file (~4.8 GB File) and unzip the zip file.
-Open Odin and put PHONE in download mode and connect to PC.
-Place the 4 files in its correct place:
BL = BL-FILE
AP = AP-FILE
CP = CP-FILE
CSC = CSC-FILE or HOME-CSC FILE **
** CSC-FILE WILL DELETE EVERYTHING and bring back to factory settings (like doing factory reset!) Backup first before choosing this file.
** HOME-CSC FILE will keep data intact
So choose only ONE File!!!
If you run into bugs after update do a factory reset!
They're YouTube guides on how to use Odin and samfirm.exe or frija!
But beware that you CAN NOT go back to android 8 period! So make sure that you really want to go to pie!!

Just to add to what Bluephnx said, the link below will help you on how to use Odin, but also has the download link for SamFirm. (For region in Samfirm, use either XEU, which is UK and Ireland, or BTU, which is UK, or you will get carrier bloatware. You can obviously flash carrier filmware if you choose)

Many thanks for that. Much appreciated.
I'll give what you suggest a go.
Really don't understand why I can't do it OTA tho', would there be something wrong with my phone to stop OTA update working?
And is there any reason not to go to Pie (9) and stick on 8 that you know of?

It just glitches/bugs out sometimes. It has happened to me before, but once flashing via Odin, it usually resolves the OTA problem. You could try a factory reset, which can sometimes resolve the OTA bug, just back your data up first.
I honestly can't remember what Oreo was like to make a comparison for you, but some people do hate Pie, where I have been very happy with it since it's launch.
Here is a little explanation of Pie on the Note 8 on YT that you may find useful.

Did you ever do the OTA update yourself before on that phone or did you just buy it on AP: N950FXXU3CRD7 CP: N950FXXU3CRB9 CSC: N950FOXM3CRDC? If it's been that way since you got it then the most likely answer is that someone else updated it using a version of firmware that can't update via OTA and the only way to fix that is to use odin and flash the latest version of firmware.
