Hi, basically I used This N950N for a year now, warranty is almost out.
With the consequences about Spay and Secure-Folder, I would like to flash some custom ROM to my phone.
I was playing with Nexus 6, so I know "Basic things" about custom roms and how to flash it,
but using "Samsung" phone seems like way-more complicated.
Since I know that there are two types of note8, Exynos and Snapdragon. Which are not compatible between them.(Because kernel stuff)
But for Exynos family, I hope they share common boards and chips, guessing N950F and N950N are compatible. Therefore I'm planning to flash N950F Custom rom to my N950N.
Will that work?? (Sorry for messy English though..)
- I am not asking about stock rom. I am asking for Custom ROM

Hello people as the title states I recently purchased a note 9. I wanted to get the N960F model but when it arrived, to my surprise it was a N9600, which is no problem for me because snapdragon is a good thing, the only downside is the fewer development.
Anyhow I have some. Questions and I would like to hear your recommendations As I'm waiting the 7 days for the OEM unlock to appear.
1. Should I update the system? My n9 came with Android 8.1.0,but I don't know if I update it would be detrimental for the sake of rooting
2. Is this model rootable? I believe so but could you direct me to the thread on that regard.
3. Would you recommended self de bloating with TB or try WETA Rom?
4. What would you suggest: stay on stock + root or WETA Rom?
5. I've seen a lot of pie complains so should I stay on Oreo or give Pie a try? I come from the OnePlus3, I'm a former flashoholic XD and 'til my last moments with the OP3 I had HavocOS which was pie based, thus I'm hesitant to look back to Oreo.
6. This should be 1st but anyway do I need to unlock the bootloader or something special before rooting and installing twrp?
7. I've read that development for the SD version is difficult and that AOSP Roms are stuck because of gpu frequencies and other stuff, but do you think that this version will receive some. More loving from the development department in the future?
Thanks in advance guys and I appreciate your time in reading and for any suggestions you may give.
yes
Just like exynos, the bootloader is unlocked and you can always root it, version does not matter, pie , oreo. and yes you can also run all the GSIs on the phone cause its a Treble enabled device which helps a lot with roms and i think there will be much more roms for n9600 as well as soon as it ages a bit and people start rooting them. You could install WETA ROM or any other ROM / Kernel, Rooting is same as Exynos model except the TWRP has to be for Snapdragon

Thanks mate, in terms of rooting, should I use official magisk of a custom one?
On the twrp thread for the SD variant people mention the official. They just recommend versions 18.1 for Oreo and 19 for pie, is that alright?
And if I update my firmware and software over Ota before rotring and installing twrp, will it be a problem?
Hello everyone, I would like to know if there is still the possibility of leaving some roms for the M31! The device is great, with customs and more optimized kernels it would greatly improve the usability of the device.
We need devs here
Samsung smartphones with snapdragon chipsets won't have custom roms, also some of the exynos versions too. Because samsung's firmware is proprietary.
There are only two cases with XDA devs.
1. If there's possibility to build roms for a device, there would have been tons of roms already.
2. If it's not possible, then there won't be a single rom.
This device has very good hardware / specs however it has lot of Samsung bloatware we need custom rom like Lineage OS.
GSI have effectively replaced the unofficial ROMs. Try that.
Some people in this forum said that the best ROM for the Chinese variant is the China ROM or the XiaomiEU ROM and for the other variants it is the best to use the Global, Europe, Indian,.. ROM.
Is that true if I want the best Performance without big throttle or can I use every ROM on every Variant?
I personally got the Chinese variant and the EU Stock ROM because of my Region, but if I sometimes See people here getting insane antutu scores, I think I did something wrong with ROMs or even decided to buy the 8GB variant instead of 12GB
Can someone explain me everthing short and clear?
You can install any of the roms once you unlock the bootloader,(just don't relock it with any ROM except the Chinese one since your phone is Chinese version)
If you have a decent internet connection it doesn't take long to download them all , skip through the settings and run an antutu test on each one to see which is the best
its been a few years since i modded a phone. i recently got my hands on a used samsung galaxy note 8 {factory unlocked/no carrier} with a snapdragon processor.
model # SM-N950U1
Im searching around this forum but most of the info is for exynos processors.
i need to unlock the bootloader and root so that i can install
LineageOS 19.1.how can i do this?
The snapdragon version is called the "greatqlte". You can root it via twrp, but I'm not sure about custom rom support, and definitely not lineage19.1.
The snapdragon version has basically no support on xda. Someone posted a question similar to yours a while back.
too bad , its still a good phone, whats the highest version of android i can install ?
I don't think there are any roms.. I think I saw an oreo one, but you're probably better off sticking to oneui on android 9, which is stable (unlike the oreo build).
You can still root and debloat/customise your phone via magisk modules etc.
Hi, I'm new here and also suck at all things tech.
I recently got the Note 9 and it's just a beautiful phone in almost all aspects. I'm having some problems with it, but that's for another forum. I want to ask here about rooting and ROMs. Can the Note 9 be rooted and are there ROMs available for it? If so, what is the easiest way for me to go about rooting it and installing a custom ROM? Do I look for computer and cell phone stores in my city and ask them?
One of my past phones was rooted and had a custom ROM. It was splendid just because of the ROM and from then on, I couldn't imagine having a phone I didn't root and get a custom ROM for. Unfortunately, since then, all my phones have been ZTE which-- at least for a long time-- didn't have any available ROMs. If this phone can be rooted and upgraded with a custom ROM, awesome. If I can fix the other issues first.
You didn't say what processor your phone has so here goes:
For Snapdragon CPUs: https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/samsung-galaxy-note-9-snapdragon-roms-kernels.8318/
For Exynos CPUs: https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/samsung-galaxy-note-9-exynos-roms-kernels-reco.8016/
There are many custom ROMs, kernels, etc here in the XDA sections. In my opinion NobleROM would be one of the best ones just from what I've read/seen about it.
But do ask yourself if you really need root and a custom ROM on the Note9. I'm a guy who could never imagine having an unrooted phone until I got the Note9 - it has everything I'd want stock and there is also GoodLock modules which are made specifically for OneUI by Samsung and don't require root.
PS: Just NEVER put a Snapdragon ROM/kernel on an Exynos phone and vice versa or you'll most likely brick it.
