I get mine tomorrow. I already have the Puerto Rico firmware downloaded as well. I'll look into the Crom.apk though. I thought it was just for the China firmwares?

Not 100% sure, but the s8+, China fw was needed to unlock bl. Not sure about the s9 though. What carrier you plan on using it on?

I just got it in. I'm using Verizon and it works straight out of the box! I didn't even have to use the Puerto Rico firmware. I haven't tried the Crom.apk though yet

Yep! CDMA works as well! I did a test call and even the intelligent caller ID works. Volte does not work on this firmware, but I'm sure it does on the Puerto Rico one. I'm going to wait out the OEM unlock before flashing it though.

Still waiting on root to change the CSC. I have found a Chinese forum that has successfully rooted the 9600, but I'm still waiting on the files to download.
Apparently the only way to really change a CSC (especially from a different model) is to have root and to place the files. I'm fairly certain Volte can be enabled then. It seems all of that info is in the CSC files. Still, other than Volte, everything else is working perfectly even with stock.

Does that mean there's some sort of recovery to be able to flash root? Twrp maybe? One other thing do you get band 13?Thanks for the update

No, it is a modded Odin file. After using Crom (which is required for bootloader unlock) it accepts modified Odin files via Comsey Odin. Nobody has made a twrp yet though unfortunately.
I'm sure I get band 13 as it is pretty much my only option where I live. Again though, you can't know for sure what band you're on without root as far as I know.

The file is located at: Here
You have to join the site to be able to download, but there is a workaround using a chrome extention: Here
I was finally able to download the file and everything (2.1 GB) and it definitely looks legit. You basically Odin the China rom so that you can use the Crom (bootloader unlock) app. Then just sign out of your Samsung and Google accounts, reboot into Download, Load the modded AP file and flash. It has screenshots included as well. It is apparently rooted with Magisk (Preinstalled) and there are screenshots showing Xposed working as well.
All of the instructions are in Chinese, so I just cut and paste everything into Google translate and got a rough translation. I'll try my best to upload the downloaded file to Mega or somewhere, but the only internet that I have right now is Mobile. I am not at home right now, so I can't give it a try (Plus I'm a little nervous!!! haha). So if anyone wants to give it a go, please let us know how it goes. The guy that uploaded it has been a member of that site for a long time now and has a reputation on the site. I'm guessing the site is like the Chinese version of XDA or something.

Which Rom section Can I use then to flash the Canadian version ? Tmobile, Att, ?
you say that
"It is also sim unlocked, so it can be used with any Canadian carrier."
I have a roger version, seems to be locked. So if I root and flash this will unlock the sim carrier?
thank you

Odd my Bell one is unlocked, I popped in my buddy's Rogers sim with no issue.
Also says it's unlocked on the box.... I'll post a picture when I get home.

Rooting will not Carrier Unlock your device - Flashing a Custom Rom will not Carrier Unlock your device - Either pay Rogers $50 after 3 months - or go to sammobile.com - They offer a Carrier Unlock service.

I had problems with a tmobile rom so i used your steps with the stock NJ3 Wind rom. However the file turned out to be a Bell Rom. My csc even says BMC when i check it. My signal hasn't been as good on this stock rom.
Any chance you know where i can find the actual Wind rom that came with the phone?

Mine definitely is, and came out the box that way. I've adjusted the OP to omit the sim unlock given that its inconsistent.

Now to clarify, unlike the US or the rest of the world; all the carriers in Canada use the same rom.
Meaning no matter if you have wind, bell, telus, rogers etc its all the same modem, kernel, recovery, and system.
Its all N910W8, so there cannot be a modem/signal difference.
And for proof here is a list of MD5's checksums for the files I provide and what sammobile provides:

It was the exact same with the Note 3; we only get one ROM.
So I am going to change the OP to reflect this fact and only provide 1 set of files with instructions on how to change your CSC.
Boom done problem solved.

So this confirms that any bell, Rogers or tells phone can be unlocked to work on the AWS networks such as wind or chatr? I have done a ton of research and could not find the AWS bands on bells info but have seen both model numbers on bells, winds, etc. As N910W8
Has anyone had luck unlocking even though a company?

I'm going to say yes given that they are all N910W8 and all running the same rom.
But I haven't tested it personally; buddy at work has wind, I will try his sim in my phone next week and report back.

Firmware.
As for the CSC youll need to find OUT what yours is
but it should work the same as the guide you followed...
GLW is the Canadian CSC from what I see here.
di you remember where you got the phone or who the providor was?
You see, on BB110 people made us exe files where you plug the phone in click and it's automated. Android seems to be a lot different. What is a CSC and GLW? I really have no clue. I know I shouldn't have done this if I wasn't ready for it, but, I wanted to have the latest stuff.
keeps logging me out everytime I try and download the firmware. YAY. Delays and setback piss me right off.
Figured out my issue, How do I flash this patch/file/whatever it is. Over the current one?
EDIT: # hours to download unless I fork over 20 dollars. YAY, MORE BLOODY WAITING.

I think that's where you enter CSC code but it's been a while since I used it. A quick search online should help. CSC is Consumer Software Customization, basically a folder in the software that controls/sets specific features and settings for your region/carrier.
No worries if you flashed different firmware that changed your model number. When you flash stock it will change it back. U.S. and Canada Note 8s are essentially the same at a hardware level.

The files are no longer available. Can you repost them.
I cannot for the life of me figure out whats going wrong. I bought SM-G960UZKAXAA (US unlocked s9). I wanted VZW's advanced calling features so I put SM-G960U on the device (instead of the SM-G960UI, as it should be). I've used the special Odin and stock firmware to revert, and it seems to be successful, according to Odin, but nothing ever changes. Still get the VZW splash screen and other VZW stuff. HELP!?

Your stuck on v2 bootloader as carrier bound devices released them first
Ypu will have to wait til u1 firmware releases a update to the v2 bootloader then everything should go back as normal
can you update the links?
also, how come one person said FED 1 2018 and another person said May 1st security patch?
if this is the same U1 firmware available in other posts, why flood xda dev with so much duplicate posts?

Hi David
Hello i Just am in Wonder. I lately have recieved à gift S9 sm-g960x but i was told that it is à démo live unit i tried to flash it with Odin in order to use it with à simcard but later on it was stuck and iit switched itself on and off.
Please help. By thé way i searxhed for thé right firmware but i only found g960f so i used it. And here I am in trouble.
Slitsh123, That's an unallowed subject on XDA
Hey 5G Pioneers,
I am wondering can I flash the sm-g 977b firmware onto the sm-g 977n device through the Odin? Did someone make it?
Since these two models are all using the same Exynos 9820 chips
And from my previous experience of using my galaxy s8, Samsung actually enabled me to flash the firmware in different regions only if the devices were using the same chip version.
I am currently in Australia. The Korean version of 977N is much cheaper, and it seems that is the only network unlock version that I could buy from the market.
Not sure where are you in Australia but I bought mine from a Telstra Sales Rep (based in CBD, Melbourne) where he got a discount code and gave its to me for AUD 1400 for the 512 GB Majestic Black Version, unlocked , I'm using Optus, VoLTE, VoWIFI works fine on it.

Hi everybody,
On Sammobile website, I found 4 firmware Korean variants. I tried getting more information on the "KOO" variant to see if its a stock Samsung firmware without Carrier Apps/Bloatware without luck. I couldn't get any detailed information whether it can be flashed over any other Korean variant. Can anyone here clarify if its possible and If yes provide further details?
Attached a snapshot.
Many thanks

That is the non bloatware Korean version but it doesn't allow me to flash it. I suspect you have to flash it with the userdata file also.

I have successfully flashed the "KOO" variant once with and a second time without "userdata", however that did NOT remove any of the Bloatware/Carrier Apps.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
I did disable the apps which is great, but there menu operator items as well!
Edit : Forgot to mention that the boot logo is of the operator as well.
I was researching something about using the PIT file along with the firmware but can't find the specific PIT file for S10 5g.
Use Odin or the modified version to flash combination firmware. Then flash your desired firmware.
This is the only way I am aware to remove all carrier bloatware and boot logos.
Dual SIM

I am particularly interested in this as the 977N variant seems to be dual sim. I notice it also has additional bands to the 977B varient and I would like to put the telstra firmware to ensure operation of VoLTE VoWiFi RCS etc.
The main purpose is to use at home and overseas. So more bands and access to features (VoLTE, VoWiFI, RCS etc. on my telstra SIM and local overseas SIM) when overseas are the goal.
Unless someone can confirm that the 977N with vanilla firmware will support all the telstra features?
Thank you for your assistance
Good morning
I'm looking for global FW and I can't seem to find one that has bootloader version 5. My VZW phone just got an update on Jan 24 and evidently updated the BL to V.5
The most recent SM-G998U1 firmware only shows bootloader version 4. Am I just stuck? Any guidance is way appreciated!
Not sure what you mean by global FW, probably unbranded US FW.
You will just have to wait until G998U1 FW with BL 5 is released. Basically stuck until then...

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up!
I just posted a thread on how to carrier unlock the same exact phone and FW/BL you are using, this may also lead to possible BL unlock later on, but may help you for now if you just trying to use a different carrier. Otherwise, yah, you are stuck for now, can't downgrade the bootloader. (As far as I know of yet)
Thanks for all of the advice and insight. Mucho appreciado.
My goal here is to purely load the non-carrier specific FW while maintaining my ability to use VZW and still have mmWave or UWB support. Also, VZW removed the ability to do "calls on other devices" like a Samsung tablet. That feature was removed on VZW FW but worked fine on an unlocked Note 20 Ultra that I had a few months back. Loading this G998U1 FW should make it act like a direct-from-Samsung phone, right? I don't really care about an unlocked BL or unlocked SIM slot, at the moment, as I'm staying with VZW. Thanks in advance!

Even if you're referring to your post from 10 hours ago:
Where you do think SamMobile and SamFW get the firmware from....???
They get it straight from Samsung's servers, using tools like Frija and others. So SamFW may not have uploaded it yet (as of the timestamp of your post from 10 hours ago), but if SamMobile already had it, then Frija definitely did - because that's always the first and earliest available firmware source, since it pulls straight from Samsung's servers
Thanks for everybody's help! I'm going to take the plunge here -- looking to download the modded/patched version of ODIN and flash this sucker. *fingers crossed*
If I flash this on my AT&T branded s21 ultra, will I lose any features?
This worked great on my VZW variant -> unbranded -- flash took about 3 minutes. I did do a factory reset prior to the ODIN flash just to ensure that Google or Samsung didn't have any weird reactivation-type lock on the device. Thanks again for the help!
As far as the Samsung "allow calls on other devices" option, that does NOT work on VZW, for whatever reason -- when I initiate a call via the S7 tablet, I get an error that essentially states that it "Can't Make Calls. Make sure that your phone and tablet are connected to the same wifi network." Huge bummer! I'll keep trying. I know that when I had an unlocked, direct from Samsung Note 10+ and the S6 tablet, this feature worked perfectly. Fast forward and I no longer have either device and it's not working. Any thoughts are welcomed!
