Just follow the steps in this thread below. XME is the Malaysian CSC which is included in the multi csc oxm.
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/foru...cial-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3677072/amp/

I finally flashed a new firmware(security patch from Oct) and everything went well!Status is still official and Knox wasn't tripped. One thing is weird though. Smart switch doesn't see my firmware version anymore.
Thanks everybody for all help,much appreciated!!

I don't know, I had tried to flash a russian ROM and it failed, had to reinitialize via kies
I've flashed on my phone lots of roms with odin, the only time one failed was a Serbian ROM, but I thought it was because the download failed.
As soon as I finish downloading this I'll report if it works.

Link to SM-G900H Lollipop (5.0)
True indeed. Unfortunately I can't post the link but send me a message if interested. Nevertheless, I will see if I can post a Mega link after some time.
I wonder if someone can change this rom to custom. So we can flash it easily from recovery. Please guys we want a stock custom rom.
plz post mega link

Exynos update is only available in one region, though it’s only a matter of time before the update becomes available to others either through Samsung Kies, an OTA or both methods. To check for the OTA, you can always head to Settings> System> About Device> Software Update.:thumbup::thumbup::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

How to install kazakstan firmware to india s5 exynos octa????
hi i have downloaded the kazakstan firmware and i want to install it to s5 india..
my phone is not rooted
please tell me how can i install the firmware?
I am on my 3rd reinstall, first I upgraded via Odin on top of kitkat, and system was too slow, 2nd I rooted via auto root (It works btw) and apparently I deleted with Titaniun Backup something important and system refused to boot. 3rd reinstall I just rooted and deleted some bloatware and everything is working ok. This is Multilingual btw. overall not so fast no so slow, I use cm12 official nightly in another device and its just a bit slower. Used Sammobile link to get the file
Hi! i downloaded it today and it's running now! works great! i don't know how to root the device with android 5
It works perfectly. Although I tried different versions of the country. Can we root that? Is anyone try to root it?

You've been using different CSC, probably thats why you can't get ota. Download and flash the correct version of firmware, that's it.
If the knox is tripped, which means someone rooted it or something. RIP knox.

How many times are you asking the same question?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76408024&postcount=1146
That said: do you know WHY you don't receive OTA-updates?
EGY: N950FXXU3CRC1 N950FOXM3CRC1
XEF: N950FXXU3CRC1 N950FOXM3CRC4
See the difference?
The FW you flashed, was NEVER released for your CSC, that's why you don't receive OTA-updates!

"Until I get the answer"?
That gives you the right to ask the same question many times in different threads?
That's what "we" call "spamming"!
What didn't you understand from my answer?
You WON'T get any updates for your CSC EGY with the XEF-builds on your phone!
Flash the latest FW for EGY, and you will get OTA's again...
@Elsa3ek,
flash with the latest Odin version, your CSC back to CSC CRC1 and you will get OTA updates again.
You need the CSC CRC1 from your Region.

Downgrade to android Oreo

i just upgraded my note 9 SM-N960F from dutch 8.1.0 to German 9.0 pie via Odin . and to be honest im so disappointing with this UI and the whole update i was wondering if is it still possible to downgrade back to Oreo again ???
thanks alot
I think that it should be possible with Odin but honestly I never done it before so don't know. By the way, is the black mode feature implemented it this version of Pie in the toggles or in settings ?
Because I read someware that the initial version of this black mode or night mode or however it's called is not fully implemented like the final version should be.
toggles and settings both of them in night mode , but its not stable i have the feeling its slower my phone down some unknows issus
First try clear cache in recovery mode maybe can resolve. also try to update apps with play store or with galaxy apps because some apps must need an update to the pie version.. After that if all is worthless, maybe a factory reset will resolve Sometimes corrupted data may do this after an update specially after a big OS change like this.

Hey let me know if you succeed, as I’m thinking of downgrading as well. ONE UI PIE-9 isn’t all it’s made out to be Oreo 8.1 rocks!

Im sorry but the page of the link you provided could not be found. Model # is SM-N960F/DS. Im pretty sure I was on Oreo 8.1, I just recently bought this Note 9 in Thailand from the official Samsung Store.

If you want to go back to Thailand firmware,it's one of the two versions here (MYM) or (THL) :

Please try now it's fixed sorry about that!!
These are all the firmware’s i found for your country as there are 2 provider for you country Thailand.. (SEE PIC) i got a feeling you will be on (THL) i could be wrong man I’m not 100% sure.. i hope someone answers you as i am kind of guessing, I don’t want to mess up your NOTE-9 for you!
i heard somewhere flashing wrong firmware, can make you lose OEM LOCK!! Why not try this launch SAMFIRM.EXE and input firmware from pic or try this first launch SAMFIRM.EXE and select auto to see if it picks up the firmware you need to download Oero 8.1!!
I have never used ODIN before and wanted to know if I need to be rooted to be able to downgrade from Pie to last Oreo firmware?
Also if doing so will cause a factory reset and will I loose the data.
Thanks.

No root is needed to dowgrade!! You will lose all your data! So make a back up before you proceed!

Will that affect Knox and Secure Folder feature in anyway?
If not, then this seems to be the Samsung approved official method of flashing firmware. Is that so?
Thanks

No Knox will stay 0x0 as your flashing official firmware.. Root and Roms trip Knox and secure folder S,Health etc. So you can flash away regular firmware without any issues!

I'm hoping someone can further clarify the steps needed to downgrade to Oreo. I have the 96OU unlocked US version and I upgraded using the modded Odin method for US Snapdragon versions in the Guides section. I do not like the carrier bloat that was added to my phone and would like to revert back to 8.1. I went to SamMobile and looked up my firmware which I believe is N96OU1UEU1ARL1, my actual model is SMN96OU1ZKFX. I have downloaded Odin3 v3.13.1. I originally used Odin3 v3.13.1 3B patchedD to upgrade. Do I run Odin (non-patched) then input the BL, AP, CP and CSC files from the extracted 1ARL1 file and select Auto reboot and F.Reset Time only, not re-partition? Can I use the patched version of Odin if I want?
I have been looking for a step by step tutorial for this but just can't find one.

Galaxy watch 3 firmware.

I use galaxy watch 3 Indian variant. To use samsung pay i change watch csc to US for some time and now i change watch CSC again to India.
Issue is I am not able to update watch software when I tap on update it show me that watch is updated but i watch is not updates.
My watch current Software version is R840XXU1ATF3 and current updated version is R840XXU1BTK1.
When I change my csc again to US then watch show me an update available with current software version but when I change again to India then there is no update.
Can anyone suggest me what I have to do or does anyone have the latest firmware for galaxy watch 3 SM-R840.
There's a good chance that the firmware release your watch is on was never released in India.
If your Indian CSC is INS, you can see here that ATF3 was never released for INS, the versión before BTK1 was actually BTG8.
So either you update to BTK1 while on US CSC and change the CSC to INS after the update, or you install the BTG8 and get the update automatically.
