I've noticed that a couple of the carriers are rolling out different firmware versions. CSAA and CSAB for the Pie Updates. Anyone on XFinity that got the official OTA Pie update that can tell me if its CSAA or CSAB please? I don't want to miss future OTAs because my firmware isnt correct. I'm running the update.zip CSAA universal leaked update. If I need to be on CSAB I gotta get to flashing back to Oreo and taking the OTA.

Who pushed CSAB? The only carriers to release Pie in the US pushed CSAA.

To be honest I'm not exactly sure where I saw it. It appeared to be TMO or Verizon but it wasn't really clear(I was skimming). Pretty sure it was from one of the other Android specific forums, don't wanna name names here. The article said they were adding a feature other carriers were not yet. The SS they had, had CSAB for Firmware Version. If it was Verizon I may need the same firmware as XFinity Phones are always the same firmware as Verizon.
In my catching up on Android stuff today I see about the one firmware across all the carriers tho. That should be awesome. All the dev's can work on it all together instead of being locked to working on their carriers version. Should make for good ROMs and amazing themes. And make for much faster updates from Samsung. Hopefully Treble gets them on track.
If I find that darn article again I'll send you the link but its MIA. I cant find it anywhere but I know I saw it. It was in my Google Feed which has as many Android news sources as I can pack in to it.

You sure it wasn't referring to the S9/+? Because all the carriers released CSAB for those devices. I would be shocked if T-Mo and Verizon released a different build than ATT and Sprint for the Note 9. It defeats the purpose of the carrier switching firmware.
Hi all,
I bought an unlocked note 9 from eBay which arrived today. I got it set up and went to begin installing a different firmware to be able to get the one UI update - only to find out it's a N960U1! I'm in the UK so was expecting/hoping for a N960F.
It's all working, calls work, I've pulled over 3GB of data today all nice and fast, texts working etc. If I was the 'average user' I wouldn't know that it's not a UK one...
My question is, am I likely to hit any road blocks? As long as the radios all work I can't imagine there being any and the play store has all the apps I use available. I'm just wondering if I'm at any advantage/disadvantage?
Thanks

I'm on the same boat (I mean, a similar situation because I'm not in the UK I'm in El Salvador). When I received my phone I started looking for the new UI, but I noticed that I had a very old android build version (I was in September security patch, I received my phone February 11) I started reading about and found out that N960U is the branded version of the note in the US. I wanted to update by Odin to one UI but I was afraid to get my phone carrier locked so after reading a lot more, I found that you can update using the right firmware for the phone (N960U) you don't lose carrier unlock and in my case after installing updates, I don't even have any bloatware.
Now, after this context history, I can tell you that the only thing that will affects is any "radio band enhance" or "carrier feature" and that's because you will not be able to install any UK carrier software to that version because N960U and N960F are different hardware, not just software.
Maybe there is another road block that is about updates, I'm on 9.0 but with January security patch, I have not received any new update. To be hones I'm not sure if there is a new one, so I need to wait to confirm that OTA updates are working for me, if not I will take the time to update by ODIN again haha so that's not something that will drive me crazy, and also related to this I think that N960U android versions are coming faster than I thought, some of my friends with N9600 are still stuck on 8.1
If you want to upgrade go to the following thread, there you will have enough information to update.

Awesome, nice one dude
I used Odin on my previous S8+ to be able to install the one UI beta and that worked fine. Though it did come with a couple of apps that were a part of that carriers firmware (three UK)
I'm aware that the F uses an exynos processor whereas the U is Snapdragon and have seen a couple of guides already. Though they use AT&T firmware and, from what I've seen, have bloatware that would literally be useless to me.
I'll have a look at the guide you linked.
I'd like to have one UI again, but can happily live with the Samsung experience UI if I had to.

Option1:
You can flash the Pie beta since you're running U1, there isn't an official release of Pie as yet.
Option2:
You can switch your device to the U firmware and flash the latest OTA however you would have to manually update each time because you won't be getting an update automatically.

How come the U firmware wouldn't get OTAs?
My S8+ was flashed to get the beta and that received OTA updates.
If I'm to go onto one UI I'd want it to get OTA updates still. If that means waiting for an official release then so be it
On a different note, I installed an app to get the FM radio working today. Can't do that with the UK exynos version ?

Because on the U most OTA comes from the carrier (ATT & VZW) while the rest comes from Samsung.
U1 all updates come from Samsung but U1 updates are months behind.
Advantage of running U firmware is you always get to be on the latest OTA as one is available.

So correct me if I'm wrong but to simplify what you're saying:
The U gets the latest updates sooner but comes with carrier bloat
The U1 gets non bloated updates but Samsung doesn't release then until months later?
I'll leave it and wait if that's the case. I'd be more bothered about having bloat than One UI

Well yes the U comes with bloatware but the amount varies according to carrier, but since you're in the UK. Your CSC will read as XAA/XAA so therefore I doubt you would have any bloatware.
I know this because I myself had own a US device while using in the UK.

Right so even if you switch to U firmware it would still remain XAA/XAA because that would be the default CSC code for Unbranded for American model. F model is normally XEU or BTU

When I did the S8+ I had to go through a pretty big list to find the BTU firmware so assumed I'd have to do the same for the N9
I might give it a go if I get a chance this week
Seeing as you have the US variant of the Note 9. You may have issues receieving connecting to certain networks outside the US. As most US Networks use a different LTE band from the EU/UK
I'm just curious if there are any other N960W users that can confirm that they're also still on the May update on Telus. I have yet to receive the June or July update at all.
Anyone else?

i don't have your phone, however, samfirmware shows there at least being the June update available., with the security patch showing as:

If you search "baseband version" in settings, does "N960WVLU1CSE3" match with your phones version? if so you are on the latest at the moment as far as i can see.

Thank you for the reply, that baseband version matches, so I guess I am on the latest build available after all.

Hi. I am with Rogers and have the same model as you. Rogers will have an update at the end of July and I am pretty sure you will too. It will be the July update but I do not know if it will include the camera night mode which is what I really want.
BTW, I am also just on the May 1 update
jd14771 said:
since you have the snapdragon variant, then the chances of getting night mode is .1%. only exynos has gotten camera night mode so far.

The update actually just happened now on Rogers - over 700 MB - and it includes night mode.
Korean Exynos variant here (KOO), I also still have the May update only. Tried all kinds of crazy stuff to get the camera night mode and latest security update to no avail. Samsung sucks.

same here, n960n only that im in (SKC) and on april , which by the way is quite bad, you would think samsung will update those models first seeing that its for their home market but nope.
i thought maybe samsung knows we are outside korea but when i check sammobile and other web pages it doesnt show new updates.
i really didnt want to root but this might make me to root and flash a rom with latest updates, but first i have to visit samsung service center to check my camera module.
Same here, verizon update last night. Includes night mode. Also includes typo...lol
just got the update with night mode and july security - n960n.
Still on the June update. Im on sprint
Sorry for going off topic here, I see you "W" guys updated the firmware - any battery life hit on Canadian N9? I am on Koodo and still on Oreo, scared to upgrade after reading many complaints about the battery life issues.
Thanks
Just got an update from at&t 882mb
As the title suggests, I haven't been able to find anything just tmoble
From what i understood while helping a few snapdragon users, AT&T firmware handling is done through them and not Samsung. Considering how snapdragon is a month or two slower on releases to Exynos, with AT&T you seem to get another layer of delay.
Nevertheless, you can always flash the Unlocked (SM-N960U1 XAA) firmware to it, but i would assume you'd lose a few AT&T features specific to their CSC.
Have been looking for any US based version of the update and still nothing yet. Hope we see something soon. I will be honest I want wireless DeX.
Weirdly, AT&T got 2.5 yesterday, before the unlocked one.

No SM-N9600 has got One UI 2.5 yet. The latest one is TGY (Hong Kong) ETJ5, but that's still One UI 2.1. We still have to wait for a FXXX firmware.
I'm on Spectrum and this is the latest in the month I've gone without an update. Im guessing there was a bug in first build, maybe thats why the release of the 2nd and the delay?

Are you on U firmware or U1? I'm on U1 with T-Mobile and don't show an update. I'm guessing that I'll need to flash back to the stock T-Mobile firmware.
