well global firmware(if there is such a thing) would be more towards the n960f since it is more popular and also the same same chipset as ure phone. its sold in UK, greater asia, india, Oceania etc...)
the n9600 is a snapdragon chip. and only sold in china and south America.
but regardless you cant flash stock firmware on different model devices. its a known fact.
if you root then u can flash custom n960f roms no problem on the n960n.(i have it too and been flashing all sorts of custom roms made for the F variant)

thank you for the answer I want to flash stock ROM but not the Korean version, because I don't want to lose the features on One UI ... if you use a custom ROM what do you mean? is there a tutorial for a problem like this?

u cannot flash any other stock firmware than n960n with odin.
if you want to flash a custom rom.zip , you need to install twrp recovery and root. this will void warranty and also trip knox and some services will no longer work:
samsung pay
might be others.
please read the guides and discussion forums for more information on rooting.

what do you think, because I am a beginner I better use the current stock ROM (N960N) or have to replace another ROM? actually I just don't like Korean accents and Korean network operator logos when I turn it on or trun off my device because I'm already outside Korea. then what is the ROM recommendation for me?

As a beginner the best and most important thing you need to do is research and read up on these topics.
Head over to the development forum and see what each rom offers and choose the one which sounds most suitable for you.
None of us can answer whats best for you dude only you know that.
The nice thing is you can flash and try out as many roms as you want!

ok. then yeah just check the dr. ketan root oem fix guide in the guide and dicsussion sections.
I too want to flash the Spanish stock ROM, so as to get rid of d the bloatware and also to use Samsung Pay. A friend of mine told me to buy the Korean version and then flash the Spanish stock ROM, which he did with his note 8 and didn't trigger Knox. I'm getting the Secure Check Fail: Bootloader error when trying to flash with Odin, it's stuck at SYSTEM flashing. Don't know what to do anymore, tried rebooting everything, changing USB ports, running Odin as an admin, and flashing different versions of Android.
Can anyone help?

you say that u bought a sm-n960n (was told to)
then u say that you were aslo told to flash a spanish firmware from a sm-n960f device.
that is very very misleading.
again, you cannot flash firmware from a different model.
your buddy gives the best advice. he is your friend. listen to him always.

Strongly agree to you ....

I know for a fact that the Korean variant of the Note 9 and the international variant both run on the exact same hardware. With the only differences being in the bloatware included with the Korean variant. So theoretically speaking installing the Spanish N960F/D variant's OS onto the N960N should work perfectly without any issues

it work only if you flash a custom ROM, even thought they are the same but you cannot flash a F/D firmware with odin in N model, it mos be a bootloader thing or something else.
by the way the n9600 is a snapdragon model so that is even more impossible.
I have the chance of getting for quite cheap a Chinese version of the S10e. While I've read that it should work alright where I live as it is, it seems I can't install International firmware. Would that prevent me from installing future custom ROMs? If yes, is it possible to change the firmware?
Also, if not, is it possible to install a Hong Kong firmware? Both versions are G9700, but I suppose the HK firmware is more international and has Google Play
Yes, it is possible to flash HK software on 9700 ;
Most chinese people who want a Samsung phone buy the HK version (because it's cheaper) and then flash Chinese ROM, so it's possible to flash HK ROM on Chinese version.
However, make sure you download the ROM for 9700 and not 9730 or 9750 (S10 and S10+)
btw it is not possible to flash on Note10+ 5G
The specs for both models are same including CPU but 960F (Asia) support DUAL sim whereas Korea only SINGLE sim.
If I odin 960F to my Korea model phone, will it still work? or probably freeze on E.g. Settings when I click Sim 2?
How about the Samsung Pay?
If firmware 960F can work, can I use Samsung Pay in Asia? or they are some in-built mechanism E.g. Knox that will prevent this?
Same question. I have a SCV38 - Japanese KDI/AU Galaxy S9. I have only Android 9, but there are a bunch of US Snapdragon Galaxy S9 based on Android 10. Can I flash this (US firm on JP phone)? I just want to get to Android 10. I have a feeling that wont work, and I checked for the S8 - US and JP phones, altough based on QC chipset had other hardware differences...
Anyway, appreciate any advice on the matter.
Do you have solution? I have same problem

As long as the specs are the same you can flash any region rom. You will just have to try it yourself and see if both sims work. Google pay shouldn't have any problems. The only problem you might have is some roms have different baseband files so you might not get network connection if it's not right for your region.

Make sure in download mode you don't have RMM prenormal if you flash Android 10 and it's prenormal you will never be able to get rid of it.

Hi,
Have heard of reports of people getting Android 10 via crossflashing to the Korean unlocked rom, but heard of possible caveats. Are there special steps to take? Besides loss of possible LTE USA bands in the firmware, anything dangerous about crossflashing to this
V409NO30b_00_OPEN_KR_OP_0515
firmware?
Thanks so much
Hello,
I have the same question. I'm tired of waiting Sprint for Android 10. Does it work with this Korean rom ? There is any step to be careful ? Thank you !
EDIT : if there is a Verizon Rom that work with Android 10, please let me know were to download it, i don't find it on lg-firmwares.com
Hello Phantafun/fireblade20, i have the sprint model. And i download the V405UA20A Verizon firmware from lg fan club and as soon as i booted the phone it requested me to update to Android 10, note i do not have a Verizon sim. I did not like the bloatware so i went for the Korean version V409NUA30d BEST DECISION EVER, nothing wrong, did not loose the network bands, plus the Korean version gets monthly updates.
Thanks a lot for the feedback ! I try it if as soon as I can get rid of the error 0x6004 CrossDl :/

sure ... because the korean version is 128 gb, memory, rom?
So, can anyone confirm that v405ua can be crossflashed with korean firmware?
I cannot flash the Korean rom (a new error code), but I finally get rid of the error code 0x6004 : i change the LGUP_Common.dll for another one found on another topic.
I'm on Verizon rom, it's really great : I can now desactivate the bloatware unlike the sprint Roms that lock this option.
I'm not clear on this. Is there a an android 10 ROM I can safely flash on a Sprint version?

I flash my Sprint V40 with the Verizon rom I found on LG Fan (lastest version I found, Android 9, and I received OTA update to Android 10).

DO you have any link to the instruction to cross flash it?

I bought Korean samsung note 9.is there any way to convert frimware to international version
My model is SM-960N CAN I flash SM-960F frimware which is International version
No way to do that with official firmware. Some custom roms can force the N variant as dual sim though
Are you having issues with your N960N? As I have a N960N as my backup device and it functions flawlessly without any issue. I use it for a few months while I was repairing my N950N. Now I currently use it to back up my N950N as a backup device.

You could just install the stock Samsung N960N OS onto your device and that will remove all the bloatware. I personally have the LG U+ variant of the N950N, I just disable all the LG U+ bloatware and ignore the ones that I can't.

If you have the stock Samsung N960N OS installed onto your device and it is running smoothly. I don't see the point in installing the N960F OS onto it.
Please provide a screenshot of what you are trying to explain as I don't see those options on my N960N
