Hello
Please help, I'm looking in the topic of the latest bootloader and modem for android 7.0 and so it can be installed via ODIN ..
I found something myself but it does not work and I do not know if it is the latest one, please help.
N920C
What variant do you have? I have the N920i. If I knew how to grab the latest bootloader/modem I'd totally do it for you.
I don't think the bootloader's changed since MM!?
Either way, download a rom from Samdroid. But be warned, to get root - you may need to unlock the bootloader in settings and flash twrp.
I need a file to install in ODIN
Hello,
I have Samsung Galaxy Note 8 SM-N9500 HK variant with the latest Firmware and security patch
I bought it since 1 month. eagerly waiting for installing TWRRP and rooting it using Supersu
I tried the following TWRPs through Odin
1-Galaxy Note 8 N9500 Unofficial TWRP Android Nougat 7.1.1.tar
2-Galaxy_note_8_twrp-3.1.1-0-greatlte.img.tar
3-N9500%20Nougat%207%201%201%20Unofficial%20TWRP.tar
4-N9500_TWRP_3.1.1-0.tar
5-N9500+Nougat+7+1+1+Unofficial+TWRP.tar
All these when installed through ODIN showed "PASSED" in Odin. but failed to install in the phone, I can not reboot into recovery.
Then I got the following 2 TWRPs
6-N8-TWRP-835-3.1.1-1-greatqltechn.img.tar
7-N9500_TWRP_3.1.1-0.tar
Both installed , I swiped for system modification, then wiped to factory reset, installed SuperSU, but failed to reboot into system. it is bootlooped in recovery , I have to flash my stockrom to recover the phone.
So if anybody have the knowledge how to install the correct TWRP and root this variant , kindly help me and others who are in the same situation. It will be great help if they can provide the links for downloading the necessary files
Thanking You all very much

Has someone tried flashing sm-n950u1 onto sm-n9500? anyone please?
Has someone tried flashing sm-n950u1 onto sm-n9500? anyone please?
I'm using Note 8 hongkong n9500 128gb dual sim version. The android Oreo 8.0 final leak build (March 4, 2018) is for the n950u1 which I wanted to flash onto my note 8 hk model. Has someone flashed n950u1 to n9500? And if possible kindly show the steps to do so thank you.
I have been reading all sorts of threads for the past week on how to do this correctly. I think I got it down, just need some confirmation.
I got an international Note 8 SM-N950F 128GB.
I updated to the latest SW via the OTA - Baseband: N950FXXS4CRG6, Build Number: R16NW.N950FXXS4CRG6.
During Setup, I did not put in my SIM at all, I Logged in to the samsung and google accounts.
Waited 7 days and now have the OEM unlock option available.
I want to use the device on USA T-mobile, and root the device and install Xposed and Viper.
Can this be confirmed as the correct work flow?
I will be following Dr. Ketan's Guide to Root and Backup EFS. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-how-to-root-note8-efs-backup-t3677038
1) Flash TWRP via Odin
2) Flash the OEM Unlock Fix, which should also install Magisk.
at this point, I shall boot into the Stock ROM and ensure the OEM Unlock is available, and Backup the EFS partition using the app from Dr. Ketan's post.
Question is: at this point, after backing up the EFS, I can flash a custom ROM, correct?
3) Backup EFS
4) Install Custom ROM.
- I am thinking https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/development/rom-lightrom-t3768385
5) Flash the Tekhd Tmobile CSC Detonator https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ent/n8-s8x-s9x-oreo-t-mobile-efs-csc-t3772374.
A lot of Roms state they support Multiple CSC's. So, would this CSC Detonator be needed?
5) At what point in time Can I update Magisk or TWRP to the latest ones?
I just want to end some confusion I have. If you all on T-mobile can tell me the steps you took to get this working, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks for all your help.

hello,
any update from your effort to get volte ?
i think if you are on oreo, just need to flash the current detonator version for note 8 and see if it works. you can only use 1 CSC file (either multi or not) per phone.

Hello guys,
I have Samsung Note 9 (SM-N960F) and updated to Pie.
I usually use custom ROMs.
Recently after flashing a new custom ROM, I lost IMEI and signal.
To fix the problem, I flashed stock ROM successfully but IMEI is empty (UNKNOWN). There is not network signal.
I have previous custom ROM TWRP Backups. I restored to the old TWRP backups. But still the IMEI is UNKNOWN and no signal.
I had efs backup of a custom ROM as efs.img. I tried to restore it using Partition Backup app and terminal but no success.
I flashed Alexander's ROM (DEV BASE) as indicated in this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/lost-imei-please-help-t3847336
But still the IMEI and the signal problem is not resolved.
If you have any idea, please help me fix it.
Thanks.

what fine model you have?
anyways flash back full latest stock firmware for your device and ull get back imei.
use frija or samfirm tool to quickly download firmware.
when you flash dled firmware with odin, flash all .md5 files. also flash csc.md5 instead of home_csc.md5
if you fully flash latest October/November firmware as suggested it will work.
if you skip steps or don't use the latest files then it might not work.
once back on stock with signal, follow dr ketans guide for OEM root fix as per his pinned topic in the note 9 general discussion forums.
then flash back a recent custom rom.
suspected cause of your problems:
-modem mismatch with device model
-modem mismatch compaired to rom base
you should always flash/maintain BL and CP manually with Odin and never through rom zips. and always read rom OP regarding modem and bootlaoder.

Thank you for your info.
Currently I have slow internet connection. Anyways, I have started downloading the latest firmware using frija.
I will let you know after flashing the latest firmware when the download completes.
Thank you.
Exact same thing happened to flashing the same rom. Made my sim cards not detect. My phone has been down for a week. Finally have a day of work yesterday and fixed it by flashing stock bl, cp, and csc then flashing back to tgp rom.

Thank you bobber10113 for your guide.
I followed your guide and downloaded October firmware update and flashed.
But the problem is still there. No IMEI, No baseband.

Previously, I flashed October update. The flashing process completed successfully but the problem (IMEI & UNKNOWN) was not resolved. I posted the problem is not resolved here.
Then I downloaded another more recent update from another region and flashed and the problem is gone. My phone is full life.
Thank you bober10113. You helped me fix this problem.
Thank you m. murray too. I appreciate your help.
[SOLVED] Hey, so I purchased the Note 9 (SM-N960U, baseband : N960USQS1CSF1) about six months back, and for some reason, I haven't received any OTA updates, I'm still stuck on Android 9 :'). I've decided to flash the firmware, but it's gonna be my first time,
And I do have some questions..
1. Is it fine if I flash the latest Android 10 UI2.5?
2. I have the AT&T variant but I live in The UAE, I don't have any European sim either, so is it fine if I flash the Verizon version ( or is there any other recommended Carrier) cuz I can't find any firmware of AT&T.
3. Is it necessary to root the phone in order to get it flashed with Odin?
4. I don't see the OEM UNLOCK option, but that does that matter right? ( I do have the snapdragon version)
6. Are there chances of bootloop or bricking if I follow all the instructions and download the correct firmware?
Lastly, if you guys could offer some tips and suggestions, I'd appreciate
Thank you!
[EDIT] Heres how I did it
1. Installed the latest Samsung drivers for mobile on my pc
2. Factory reset my phone and cleared all the cache
2. Got the U1 firmware for my sm-n960u unlocked phone (as advised by a fellow redittor) from sammobile.
3. Used the patched Odin 3.13.1.3b to do a *clean install* of the new firmware. And done!
Problems I faced: Odin failed to recognize my device, so I had to use another USB port and reboot my pc

Note: I did watch some YT tutorials and have read some stuff, so I do have some basic knowledge on flashing the firmware

1. If there is update available
2. I don't know about U phone
3. No root needed. This is official fimware
4. No need
6. Provided the firmware you're going to flash is correct, shouldn't be a problem. Upgrade shouldn't cause stuck/bootloop, just don't downgrade.
Be sure to find the correct firmware.
