Australian Stock Flash From Different Provider - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi I bought a brand new Note 8 from Optus, my carrier is Vodafone. I downloaded latest stock Vodafone AU rom and flashed it with Odin. Just wondering why when it boots it still has all the Optus logos appearing.
Are these hard coded, if so anyway to remove them, will a custom ROM remove these? I gotta wait as I dont have QEM unlock option yet.
Thanks

Actually, the rom is same and there is only one rom for all Australia carriers,
I downloaded BQKG roms with XSA, VAU and OPS, the roms are totally same.

The product CSC is fixed and can not be changed, you can find this in setting/software information.
That's why you still can see the Optus logo.
Probably you can use some tools to change the service provider CSC to Vodafone, but you can change the product CSC.

And don't use customized rom, unless you decide to root your phone, you will loss the Samsung pay and Knox will be tripped.

Would be good to know if there's any CSC chargers for note 8 that don't need root. I'd like to change my Optus handset to Voda or generic Au

I remember someone provided a solution before, but never tried.
The rom contains 5 files.
The solution is flash 4 files only, don't refresh home_csc file
Then try to change the CSC to any of XSA/OPS/VAU with *#243203855#
But please be advised, I never tested, because all data will be lost if you flash with odin from Note 8 (because the rom is separated to 5 files), just don't want to backup data and flash again,

Yeah that would be good to change it to a generic one.

Thanks for this unfortunately *#243203855# this code doesnt work i.e. "connection problem or invalid MMI"

Ive extracted the rom and your right the rom has all the CSC for Australia and New Zealand so I'm assuming that it auto switches between CSC depending on your sim.
BTW - if thats the case I dont have the option of Volte like I have for the S7 and same provider (Vodafone), no option with this ROM any ideas?
Thanks

Don't believe it has anything to do with sim. Otherwise every time you changed carriers you'd have a new setup.
I have the generic Note 8 which has a csc of XSA with a Telstra sim. A Telstra branded Note 8 bought through Telstra has a csc of TEL.
I can still use all network features but no Telstra bloatware or bootscreens....

Maybe Optus is different.
I bought from Vodafone with VAU, also doesn't have boot screens or any other vodafone logos.

Not quite sure, but I think you still can get VOLTE even your home csc is OPS but SIM csc is VAU.

My software provider software says SAOMC_SM-950F_OLN_OPS_0028 OPS/OPS/OPS
If I root I should overcome this yes?

On another note my CSC is stuck on OPS thats why I dont have the correct network settings, so the roms to a certain degree must be unique to providers. I did download the VAU version of my provider. Wondering whether anyone has the Home CSC file I can use to flash it.
Thanks - otherwise gotta wait for root access hoping to avoid it.

Official Firmware thread - All Regions (as available) - OXM for SM-G960F models

Hello there, here are links to firmware files for the Galaxy S9. This is a homepage for firmware of all models, and will be updated as more and more firmware become available.
Here are the download links:
SM-G960F (single SIM) -- Link
SM-G960F/DS (Dual-SIM) -- Link
Important note: As @murtaza02 mention in the S9+ thread, the OXM multi-CSC firmware is a good choice, so we are using that firmware for the SM-G950F model (Asia, Europe, Australia, etc.)
Check out his thread here for download instructions and to know more about OXM firmware, and why you should use this only if you have SM-G960F.

Is there a link for the T-Mobile U1 version that doesn't stay at 58% forever? I know that's how some ppl make money but it doesn't work if the files stay at 58%.

I'm confused
I'm coming from Europe where the only model of the the phone we use is "F" eg.sm-g955f, sm-g 965f..
I'm now in the us and I got a galaxy s9 sm-g965U1 ulocked online from the samsung store..
I then found out there is a sm-g965U... which is also unlock and unbranded for the USA... some one please tell me what difference is there between these two models... And If there is no difference why does it exist?
I'm also kinda confused with those versions of FW.
I've got US Galaxy S9 T-Mobile branded (960U), which I successfully "unlocked" right after purchase. I still had T-Mobile splash screen as well as their bloatware, but I could use my phone with any other US SIM. I didn't liked all that bloatware, so I just flashed 960U1 firmware, although I was not sure about all those "CSC" things (coming from HTC devices). Still can't find proper table with explanation of those CSC. Probably I've flashed XAR variant... At this moment my FW version (from FOTA check screen) says G960U1UEU1ARBG/G960U1OYM1ARGB/G960U1UEU1ARGB. Is it proper US unlocked version of FW or I've messed up something? I'm still using T-Mobile but I just want to get as stockish look as possible, without all carrier bloatware. Currently, WiFi calling works for me, but not video calling that was present on initial T-Mobile FW on my phone.
What is XAR in FW downloads? Why there are two T-Mobile 960U FW versions? Why there is also T-Mobile 960U1 FW?
Hey guys I note that OP states that if you have the S9 (G960F) then you should only use the OXM firmware, now I currently have that firmware on my phone but in the UK, EE does not allow 4g calling on that firmware.
Just curious if I'm missing something or is the OXM firmware the best apart from using EE and their 4g calling?
Thanks in advance

XXS1ARD1 is available for the G960F on the DBT (Germany) CSC.
OTA only. Will be available on SamFirm soon.
Good afternoon, first of all sorry for the bad English, I have a s9 sm-g960 sprint blocked, could I flash it with the unlocked sprint rom?
Doesn't Italy have the latest firmware? Supposedly fixing silences on calls.

I am trying to get a T-Mobile to Unlocked firmware without splash screens. There are U1 firmware with carriers listed. I am not sure which one to use, it is a little confusing.
I know I used XAA on my S8, is XAR the non-carrier version on s9?
Hi, I've bought an 960U in the USA, and looking to flash the Brazilian ROM, but the variant used here is the 9600. Can I Flash It?
Hello,
I am very new to all this. This is my first Android phone (Galaxy S9 SM-G960F) purchased from an ebay seller to use with a T-Mobile account. It is unlocked but it is missing the wifi calling feature and volte. I was hoping to flash it to the T-Mobile UI ROM in post 1 using Odin 3.13.1 but it keeps failing. I have been reading a lot of threads so my question is am I doing everything correctly or will that particular ROM not work on the G960F model? Thanks for any help

You have a international model F with a exynos processor and you tried flash a US model U with a snapdragon processor.
Off course it will fail!!!
Sorry but I can't help how to get Wi-Fi call working.

???Question: Purchsed note 8, Can't seem to Change Firmware Country origin

Hello, XDA. How are you?
I am used to flashing Sony Xperia devices and It was easy to change country of firmware for the device.
I have purchased SM-SAMN950FDBLKEU from Amazon Canada.
It looks like from United Arab Emirates and it has 4g and other important dates of UAE in Calendar eg. ramadan
I want to Change Note 8 firmware's country environment to Canada or European Countries.
I have tired downloading firmware from sammobile and flashing with odin while OEM locking is unlocked.
Auto reboot and F.reset was checked during the flash.
It still did not change anything. TRA ID is still UAE. Calendar is Still UAE. Still 4g logo. I want LTE logo.
What am I not understanding or doing it wrong?
Thank you.

Welcome to Samsung where they use 2 different SOC(cpu's)!
One Snapdragon soc (North American and China) and the other their own Exynos soc(rest of the world)!
And their firmwares are not interchangeable because of the different SOC's!
Since your phone is sm-n950fd (dual sim correct?) which is exynos soc.. You can only flash any sm-n950f stock firmware on your phone.
You can't flash any sm-n950U/U1/W stock firmwares because of different soc, snapdragon.
So all (which I've seen so could be one that I don't know) sm-n950f firmwares will have only 4G instead of LTE symbol.
Without root:
You can use substratum and sungstratum add-on (paid app) and a substratum extra mod to get LTE symbol if you want.
Edit: here is the link for the substratum extra add-on for the LTE symbol.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ohayoubaka.statusbarsamsung
With root: but you'll lose Samsung pay and secure folder for good so make sure if that's okay with you first!
You can root your phone and flash your country's CSC file/or mod a file for LTE symbol (search XDA for that method).
Or don't worry about it since 4G(world)= LTE(North America)(maybe other places).

Do the research about SM-N950F combination file. This is the only way to change CSC if yours N950F. Do it by your own risk.
Sorry for my English.

Record calls with Note 8 recently updated with last firmware (android 9)

We need to record calls without rooting our devices (mine is a Samsung Note 8 updated to Android PIE).
All third party apps are not working anymore because Google (shame on you) blocked them with android 9.
We need a quick solution from XDA because the most of the Producers brands don't want to provide for that (only Xiaomi provide a native function in his smartphones, from what i know). Samsung seems not interested to this request of the users.
Please develpers focus on this...million of users waiting a quick solution!!!!
Thanks in advance.

I did it like 1 year back but just google it. There are steps. Knox will be still intact.

Hi, i have taiwanese firmware BRI (in Sammobile i can see that Taiwan and India have same the same CSC N950FOXM5DSB2).
I have not record call native function with this firmware. Are u sure that in Indian software that function is present? I mean in Note 8 (SM-N950F DS) dual sim.
By the way, if i decide to flash indian firmware .....to change CSC what file is the one to use? home_CSC or CSC? I've read that someone flashed the other country firmware but then CSC didn't changed ....
Can u link me a video to do this? or a forum with a clear instructions to use a firmware of another country?

Hey Try this. *#272*Device IMEI# if it shows list of CSC select the one you desired.
Caution: It will factory reset the phone. When booting don't insert sim card as it will try to change back CSC to your sim country. Let me know if it working.
I had to flash through ODIN coz in NZ phones are network dependent. but asian and european version have multiple CSC so it should work fine without root.
HIT LIKE IF WORKED
---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------
If it didn't work let me know. Got few idea in my mind.
You should be presented with this pop up once you enter the code in dialer.
maybe it's enough that i only change my CSC (now BRI) to INDIA (INS)..to enable record calls native function.
then hard reset and let update the smartphone.
I have Taiwan official last firmware with PIE now (received OTA) and i've read on Sammobile that Taiwan and India have same firmware numbers.
So maybe i don't need to flash indian firmware with ODIN....what do u think? Should it work this way?
I will test when i have time (i need the phone and i dont have time to waste reinstalling and configuring everything again)....
Before this test i wait other suggestions please...thanks in advance

Try to install this and try the code it will work fine. Then you can update to PIE
Just out of curiosity can you install 3rd party apps like boldbeast recorder?
It is what I am using on PIE BETA

SM-N960N Samsung pay and Firmware flashing?

Hello there XDA community!
I have been lurking around for years, but somehow never got to create an account or use it, that's why i'm a junior member. I do admire the knowledge of many here, and how the tinkerer community came together here.
Getting to my question, I just received my new Note 9 SM-N960N from Korea, And I was gonna try Samsung Pay out, in Europe. To my surprise, it didn't work, saying I have an "Invalid SIM card".
So I checked around, but couldn't find any conclusive info on this. Some say changing the CSC would work. Some say flashing a new ROM does, but the info available isn't clear.
Especially for the SM-N960N series.
Which are the compatible ROMs? And will it help with my Samsung Pay issue? Is there a different workaround to get Samsung Pay working?
Thanks!
Flashing a new ROM certainly works but you need to find one for the Samsung pay country that's compatible with your phone model. Multi CSC devices like the 960FD are the most flexible.

Just to add that you'll need the relevant sim card as well.

How do I go about finding a compatible ROM for both my country and my phone? Also, does this trip the knox fuse, if I do it?
If 960FD are the most flexible, does that mean that's the direction I should be looking for a ROM?
And what do you mean that I'll need a relevant SIM card?
Thanks!

I also own a N960N, from what I undersrand after doing a some research on here. You can't flash a firmware from another region i.e. N960N to N960F. You can only flash a firmware from the same region. I was hoping to flash my N960N to N960F, but failed.

I saw lots of tutorial out there flash N960F ROM to a Korean Note 9 N960N to enable dual SIM support

Could you link us, mate? I only seen people saying that you can't flash N960F on a N960N, sadly. But I am willing to try,if you've seen a solution...
Thanks!

It's in Vietnamese, not sure it's really N960F ROM or not
This method will not work because Knox will get trip and he won't be able to use Samsung pay.
stock firmware:
you can only flash n960n to n960n ( n960f won't work and vice versa)
custom rom: (once rooted/twrp v3.2.3.0)
you can flash n960f custom roms to n960n
so any rom in note 9 development thread will work.

Yes, but if I do that(custom ROM), Knox fuse will be tripped and I won't be able to use Samsung Pay.

Changing csc for N960N - Android 10

Update: 1
I was able to change csc in Q for our n960n and this is how i did:
I flashed Superstable Q rom and the Dev included the option during installation in aroma to chose a different csc, i keept using the rom for 2-3 days and didn't have any issues, but before returning to Pie i did tested Dr.ketan's Q rom rom and Alexndr's-devbase Q rom and in both cases i still had my csc.

Im opening this thread to find a solution on how to change the csc on note9 n960n in android 10.
Doing so in Android Pie was easy ( of course with help from this great community ).
there is a tool provided here called - Csc selector - which i used and it worked great ( for note8/note9/note10), some roms offer the option to chose during installation.
when i updated to android 10 it changes the csc i had, probably because Samsung made some changes so i guess we will have to wait until more csc are released with updating process still in the way.
i will post any news/tutorial i find here and hopefully you too.
Almighty bump for this frustrating problem. I too am on the incorrect CSC on Q...everything works so I just ignore it but I can't help but think I am not getting the reception I would otherwise be getting if all available bands were utilised. I am on n960 FDS and should be on XSA CSC but I'm on XSG.
I'm not sure there are even Android 10 roms available for XSA region code yet.

We might be near because Samsung keeps releasing android Q to more regions for n9 and s9 now started to get its update.
I'm not sure how they've done it but there is a fix if you are prepared to flash a non-stock rom or already have.
You can flash either Alexandr's Devbase or Zeus Rom beta from the zeus telegram group, and before flashing rename the rom zip to include your appropriate csc followed by _. Read first post of devbase for details, it worked a treat for me and I didn't even think XSA was available for Q roms yet.

that doesnt work for my device i have an n960n and the only supported csc are KOO, KTC, LG, SKC, i can change to one of those in alexandr's rom ( by the way i love that rom and i came back from it to pie because of this problem) but no to n960f csc's so i guess i will have to wait until there is a mod to change csc in android q.
thanks for your reply.
Maybe you can try with Samkey software, but it's not free.
Even I am in this boat, I downloaded an n960f rom and tried to flash the csc on my n960n.
And yeah it failed.
Wish it were an easier process.
I just want the random reboots to go away on q.

they offer only sim unlock, i didnt see in their web page that they can change phone model, your reply made me think if we could change the bootloader/model completely with a tool ( my friend has some of those he uses them to unlock/repair/flash phones).

No need to reset device to change csc if you already have a multi csc firmware for example OXM. Use phone info or something similar from play store to check.
I used samkey (purchased 2 credits from ebay for $5) and in a minute changed csc to THL

Buy samkey credits from ebay (you need 2 to change csc) you get them in a form of a username and password
Download samkey from theit website
Connect N10+ to your pc with the cable you got with your phone
Open samkey, input username and password, input THL in the csc field and execute. (my first attempt failed with a server error the second one suceeded)

thanks for your input but this model of note 9 - n960n is made for Korea and i has only 4 csc - KOO/LG/KTC/SKC , these csc have limitations when used outside South Korea which is the case for me, because of this i have network issues so i want to change it to a n960f model or multi csc so i dont have those network limitations.
i changed my phones csc to multi csc with a flashable tool "csc selector" and i works great but this works only in PIE, samsung made some changes in Q and it doesnt work.
Oh, ok, didn't know the story about n960n.
I need to change too!

Can i change n9600n firmware to n960f ?
Please advice me, I am new to this kind of works, thanks in advance

If you mean N960N, Yes you can as i mentioned couple post ago.
You need to root your phone by following the instructions in note 9 guides forum, then go to note 9 rom development forum and choose the one you prefer.
