You need a Korean SIM-card to have a Korean CSC, which then allows you to install the beta update. If you live in Germany and your service provider is O2, your CSC will be German instead of Korean. This blocks the installation. It doesn't make any sort of a difference if the phone was originally bought from Korea or if the language is Korean, only the inserted SIM-card's country matters.

Thank you for your time
So there is no way for me to get the beta...

I registered on Samsung members earlier and tries to manually update through settings... Didn't work. Tried again a few minutes later and it downloaded.
Hating the new navigation bar. It's either sitting there for you to use or its completely hidden and you have to use gestures to swipe up at the point where the button would be
On the old software I had my bar set as hidden, then you swiped up to reveal and pressed what you wanted

Dowoad latest firmware of UK BTU and download your own one too.
Flash your phone through odin by using both firmwares you downloaded.
*In BL, AP, CP use UK BTU firmware files
* In CSC use your own firmware CSC like O2.
Once you flash it and if it is successful like mine, then go to recovery and install the pie update zip file as Update from SD card. It will update you to pie by still keeping your csc and data hopefully.
I have attached my phone screenshots in case.

SM-N9200 HK version root?

Hey guys, do any of you know if we have root already for this version for Note5?
I found this the other day:
http://apk.tw/thread-706898-1-1.html
But... I don't speak Chinese and I don't know that website so I'm not risking it. Would love to get a root on my HK SM-N9200 as well.

Thanks bro. I don't think I will risk it either. There are also no comments there that confirm that it works...
At the moment I don't have a real reason to root, but i'm sure I'll need it in the future. Hopefully we will have it soon.
Good luck!

Since you have the N9200 as well, could you do me a massive favor? I'm really dissatisfied with the scrolling behavior on mine. I've made a thread about it in the General section.
Could you let me know what software version you are on? Have updated to the latest one (N9200ZHU1AOI1)? But most importantly: do you notice stuttering behaviour in scrolling through apps like Google Play store, Youtube, Facebook etc...?
You can capture the behavior by following the steps described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/note-5-scrolling-behaviour-t3195672.
Thanks in advance!

No problem, I'll try to get to it as soon as I get home, Going to Uni now.
Though I must say that I dont really use those apps because I live In china. If I use them I have to open Astrill VPN. I just Tried it with facebook, and it seems pretty smooth, except when it loads new content because of Chinas great firewall.
(Im also on the new version, but today I tried the "Package debloat" app from the Q&A section and disabled 150 or so apps)
So does anyone found any clue for N9200 root (OI1 firm) ???
Still no :\
@Seven Winds @tisfo @Willyman just got my device, im on it.
got twrp so far..
roots next..
then arter's kernel with dual sim intact..
Edit:
current progress and planned
unlock bootloader
install twrp
backup everything
reboot
notice GAPPS get removed when you unlock
verify my knox container still works (says KNOX has been locked contact your IT admin need to change lock type)
flash stock n9200 kernel with ',verify' removed (aka allows system to be mounted and modified, without this change a kernel cant boot a rooted system)
reboot and verify knox container still works (same message)
flash gapps reboot and verify
flashing back gapps didnt restore everything i was missing (looked like every app i downloaded from play store was also removed), so i reflashed the stock system i pulled out of odin tarball
restoring data
Damn im glad I backedup everything as soon as I got recovery, first boot after unlocked BTloader, it was next reboot that it deleted all my data ( so after reinstalling stock system and restoring my data, everything is back to how it was)
*** im here ***
twrp su root
reboot and verify knox container still works
flash arter kernel that I merged n9200 sources for dual sim support
reboot and test
(ii know knox wont work with any other customer kernel (i really want knox workspace with custom roms and plan on making it work)
Thank you gundal for your hard work!
I am using n9200 HK version. And I rooted my note 5 already!
Thanks for my friend in China, he helped me a lot and everything works fine.
I also installed xposed framework in my note 5.
Can you please share links to the files you've used? I tried to install twrp via Odin and I'm getting error RQT_Close and the phone writes something in chinese in the download mode.
Any customer ROM for dual sim yet?

If not too much has changed from the Note 4 to the Note 5 you can do it. It will void your warranty and may or may not totally brick your phone.
Google how to unpack and repack firmware. Do a lot of reading because you alone are responsible if you wind up bricking your device.
Thanks but please do let me know where i should start reading.

ok so i used a root and installed google play services. All well there.
Also google contact sync was not working so i used sync adapter and i can see google contacts in phone.
Now one problem has started since google sync started:-
If i open a contact to view it and then close it, a message thread is added for that contact in message application. Although its empty.
It is not really a problem but an annoyance.
Let me know if someone can provide a solution.

Hi, I am trying to load the default software back onto my P10 Plus, It was originally on the GB software and I changed it to the duel sim VKY-L09C432B160, I did that with no problems but now I have downloaded all the right rom files but when I do the HWOTA method it fails, I think its something to do with the OEM file, It has it for most but not for the VKY-L09GBRC555 and I cannot locate it anywhere, Can anybody help?

u can flash using odin any pie firmware if same model number, ie n960f/d.
sure u know how to flash via odin since u in xda forum, also whether simply flashing odin firmware will void knox or not.
Funny how Samsung is handling this. Having a Note 9 in Malaysia is like having the best hardware with appalling after sales software support. ... Even Chinese competitors like oneplus 6t and huawei mate 20 pro are on Pie here. No wonder Samsung is losing its ground!!!

Just flash it with the latest firmware like everyone else, there are guides on how to do this. Malaysia isn't the only country that doesn't have Pie yet, not sure what isn't being understood here.

Hi,
I'm curious and really tempting to do so.
Just wondering - by doing this - will not affect our installed apps, right? Finger cross (as i don't see anything saying required to wipe data / internal / factory reset)
How's the One UI performance overall after you installed it?

i did a factory reset after installation. but that was my choice. i was still able to use the apps without the reset. performance wise.. the phone felt smoother after the reset but that will be the case even if i did not update i guess.

Question S21 Korean issues

Hello everyone and merry Christmas
I got an S21 Ultra and facing some Issues
Seems to be the Korean version with no esim and caller ID for incoming calls isn't matching the name since I have all my contacts in international format
I am reading this can be fixed by changing the csc but I have it fully updated and patched and stock
Any way to solve my issues, preferably without factory reset?
Thanks
