Hey All -
As a newbie I'd like to get some clarity as it's a little unclear to me still....I almost purchased a Note 8 from my carrier (AT&T) and
prefer to remove all the bloat so I wanted to get more details before finalizing my purchase. So the phone would be a Snapdragon CPU and carrier locked - which isn't a big deal for me. My goal would be to install pure Samsung firmware and be able to receive updates from Samsung without waiting for the carrier and remove the bloat.
Btw, I did a forum search and found something close but it was a Verizon related topic.
So my questions:
1) Is this possible without tripping knox?
2) What is lost between stock firmware and carrier firmware other than bloat? I'm assuming all the bands and network features keep working as before.
I'm also assuming since the IMEI number is an ATT branded phone Wi-Fi Calling and VoLTE is not lost or is CSC uploading still required with stock firmware?
Thanks!

There isn't much bloat on them anymore these days. Yes, anything you do will prompt Knox. You can disable almost any app now without rooting the phone, so no root is needed at all for that purpose. Just disable it in settings, or if not allowed on a specific app to do that, just install "BK Disabler" from the play store.

I've flashed the stock rom through Odin and fairly certain it didn't trip Knox or any issues that aspect since my company verifies Knox compliance.
With the stock rom I get my hotspot through AT&T which I couldn't on the AT&T rom, I just used the tutorial on here to flash it with no problems. I will get the updates for the U1 when it gets pushed down and have got security updates just fine. You can disable a lot of apps already though on AT&T stock
Oh and you don't lose anything other than the AT&T pre installed garbage that nobody really uses
**edit just checked and yes I'm 0x0 on Knox so it didn't trip it

Yes you absolutely can install the unlocked 950U1 firmware on your ATT device. All the 950U devices are identical and the firmware is 100% interchangeable and will NOT trip KNOX. I'm running for T-Mobile firmware on a Verizon Note8 right now. KNOX is only tripped when you flash unofficial firmware, such as custom recovery and ROM.
There's really not much of a reason to do it though. Theres very little bloat on these, and you will lose VoLTE and WiFi calling by flashing the unlocked firmware.
But if you still want to flash the unlocked firmware, follow this post:

Did you guys who flashed stock firmware get stuck with the 80% battery issue? Cause I thought about it just to get Oreo early but I don't want to lose 20% of my battery. Also have any of you tried to flash a regular update to a carrier note 8 using the update from SD card option?

You only lose battery capacity if your root a snapdragon. Not just by flashing official firmwares.

Okay I was confused. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I hope they find a fix for that eventually.
Don't hold your breath!
Hi, I want to flash a ROM from a different region on my Note 9. Will Knox be tripped if I use Odin to flash a stock ROM from sammobile?
I know Samsung's have either the Exynos or the Snapdragon chipset and it's not possible to flash a Snapdragon firmware on a Exynos phone.
However, I have an Exynos Note 9 (SM-N960F) and I'm planning to flash another stock Exynos ROM from a different region (also model SM-N960F).
My question is, will Knox be tripped if I use Odin to flash a different region, stock ROM from sammobile?
Knox won't trip if only flash original different firmware
Has anyone tried it?
I bought the Samsung note 9 SM-N960F/DS Exynos Iam using it in USA with Metropcs. At the moment the twrp are not restoring it fails to mount system. Help please.
Hello.
I am using Galaxy Note 9 Korean model SM-N960N.
A few day ago, I have decided to root my note 9 and OEM Unlock my note 9. and flash twrp via odin and found custom rom.
but N960N Rom was hard to find......
I am flashing some N960F roms, and boot success.
anything was ok.
signal ok. sensor ok. call ok. sms ok. button ok. etc.....
Now I am using N960F AOSP Extended rom.
Question.
1. Note 9 Korean Model (N960N) hardware = N960F Hardware?
2. Can I Flash N960F Stock Firmware Via Odin?

you can flash any custom rom for F version in twrp.
99%it will work. the 1 % that dont, you simply wont be able to boot. in that case just flash an other rom.
you should NOT flash stock firmware with odin for F.
your device is N so flash stock N firmware.
Hey,
I have a Note 9. When I updated the firmware (from custom rom, so there is no warranty), I've got the green screen problem, so I want to downgrade it.
I'm not intrested about "it's impossible" comments, because it's a software, everything has to be possible.
So, I have binary version 9, I wanted to flash BL binary 4 and dr.ketan's ROM (Pie version).
I just want to downgrade the Bootloader version to 4, but I couldn't do it.
On S4 and S6edge, I could do it without any problem. On note 9, I can't do it.
Thanks
