Downgrade to android Oreo - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

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!

Downgrading is no problem atm, i downgraded from CSA2 to ARL3 . I flashed the non-home csc though for a factory reset.

You Rock! Thanks

I am a complete newbie... with that said, I HATE the new android Pie. Can someone help me downgrade back to Oreo? I'm reading the thread and I have no idea what you people are talking about.

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?

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.

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:

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.

Only funny thing is that it says "Country: Thailand" in OP, but you cant set your region to Thailand because the option is not there lol.
Which region is this C470?
I think it's either Cambodia or Singapore, not sure about it. Never know what region to expect if you buy a phone in the ASEAN haha!

You need to be rooted and do some modifications in the system files to enable multiple users. You should Google it, there are a few guides out there on how to do this. Don't really recommended though, theres this bug on some apps that you have installed on both users. If you open the app as a non main user or guest it will not load and instantly crash, and if you go back to your main account it will suddenly do the same. If you reboot the phone it will be uninstalled, together with all the data. It happened to me with Line, and lost all my conversations because of that.
Also, I have no idea what Keyguard is so I am not missing out on much XD

Any issues with Xposed. I assume you deodexed the rom for it to work.
I came from C470B180. If you want to go back to stock recovery you should extract it from the rom of the original firmware of your deice, and flash it with adb.
No problems with xposed so far, and yes I deodexed. The xposed for emai topic mentioned some trouble with bluetooth specific stuff but it's all stuff I dont use so for me everything works fine.

how to install a stock international firmware on a Korean N950N 256GB

Hey
I have been searching for a clear answer but couldn't find any.
I am looking for guides and information about how I could possibly install a fresh, stock, "vanilla" version on my Note 8 N950N.
mine is the korean 256GB variant. I can't replace it and i wanted to get the 256GB variant anyway.
but some bloatware and also a few minor annoying "bugs" that are in the korean software is really disturbing me. it gets all confused because i am not really in/from korea. i get plenty of korean marketing **** and more...
I would like to have an international version. have it work seamlessly with my local networks, and also when i go abroad (i will be going to the USA in april).
Preferably i would like to get the Stock version, without rooting anything.
but if i have no choice i would install a custom rom which is the "cleanest" and the one most similar to stock.
please, can anyone write down clearly what are the steps I should do. I would be really thankful.
By the way, if it matters, I live in israel (if need to install a software or modem which are compatible.)
please, help!
thank you very much

Because you can't install F fw on a N without rooting, odin will not let you.
If you don't care about Samsung Pay or Secure Folder, twrp/root & install any custom F based rom you want. Or with root you can remove all the bloatware from your stock fw that you want. Or you can install Weta Rom base only. Weta Rom has the mod installer seperate so if you just want a stock unbloated rom Weta base would be a good choice. Weta is by far my favorite ROM so far & is what I have been running....with the Weta mod though.

I actually don't mind about Samsung Pay. it's not being used in Israel anyway, and what is Secure Folder? i didn't know about it also anyway so i guess it wouldnt bother me.
So what is the process step by step?
1. Root phone.
2. then?
is it possible to root the phone and then install a stock firmware of an F variant? i am not interested in having a custom rom anyway...

Hey man, I tried doing exactly this on my 256GB SM-N950N with @_alexndr's DevBase ROM for the SM-N950F as you linked to above. Skipped the model check, however, I keep getting an error message during the installation process. @_alexndr stated, here in that his DevBase thread, that flashing the SM-N950F ROM on the SM-N950N isn't that straight forward due to different system partition size.
Please would you happen to know of the proper procedure to resizing my SM-N950N partitions so that I can flash the latest SM-N950F Oreo (don't like Android pie) DevBase ROM on it? Thanks in advance.

No, that's still Korean. I'm looking to install the unlocked and unbranded UK CSC on my SM-N950N. However, doing that breaks Bixby and other region-locked Samsung services as they detect my model number isn't in the region. So, I figured installing the SM-N950F ROM would resolve the region locking issue. Similar to how Tkkg1994's Iron Man ROM did it.

i believe by debloating a bit, the total amount of data written to the system partition was reduced to accommodate the N devices. or by pure fluke, maybe dev never intended to reduce data just for the N but just by removing some knox stuff and other unneeded stuff when rooted.

But if I change the CSC to the UK unlocked and unbranded, Bixby starts saying "Ok, I canceled it" to every single 1 of my commands.
Whereas with the Iron Man ROM, which virtually changed my device model number to SM-N950F, and the same UK CSC, everything worked fine. Unfortunately, it's development came to an end long before my Note 8 was even 1 years old.

Whereas with the Iron Man ROM, which virtually changed my device model number to SM-N950F, and the same UK CSC, everything worked fine. Unfortunately, it's development came to an end long before my Note 8 was even 1 years old.

So you're applying the same CSC patch to both ROMs? Or you mean that a CSC with the same name in Iron Man ROM and in a separate CSC zip behave differently?
My phone is running stock N950N base, with my USA T-mobile CSC patch and Bixby works correctly for a USA Tmobile phone because all its settings are in the CSC config files.
Thanks for the prompt response.

I used Tkkg1994's CSC changer ZIP file in both cases. How did you go about doing your CSC change? If I can simply change to UK unlocked and unbranded CSC while keeping Bixby and every other Samsung service working as normal, I'll be fine with that.

Just follow the steps in this thread below. XME is the Malaysian CSC which is included in the multi csc oxm.

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!!

SM-N9500 Pie Update for Bangladesh

Is there anyone know when we can get Pie update for SM-N9500 in Bangladesh? As far I know our neighbour country India already got pie update last month. Can't understand reason behind for our location. We are still stuck with December patch for long days.

Sm n9500 didn't come Bangladesh officially. So no update. Regular variant Sm n950f has got official one ui android pie in 26 of feb. Indian got this on 15 feb. Better find the official version of 9500 ( if released) of other rezone and odin it. Good luck.

Thanks Bro for the information.
So that means there are not chance of Pie update through OTA? I got official update from 7 to 8 version last year and security patch updated till December.
Regarding Odin, actually I never did it before. New to this mode. Could you give me each guideline with necessary file links? I would be happy if u do so. Thanks you.

Watch YouTube for how to use Odin.
Odin can be downloaded from sammobile.com under firmware section look under SM-N9500.
just check sammobile.com your model didn't get PIE yet (or they are behind in uploading it to their website). That link was for a beta pie firmware. I'll wait for the official release. It'll be a lot easier for you.
You have to know how to use Odin on computer. So do lots of reading up in Odin. Use Google search and YouTube on Odin. (Use Samsung Odin for search).

You have to have a computer for both Odin and smart switch.
On computer go here for smart switch:
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/app/smart-switch
Once pie is released for your phone smart switch will download it and install it for you. You'll need to connect your phone with USB cable to computer first.
Again search Google on how to use Samsung smart switch.

I think so. Found that my device belong to HK region. I like to tell u that few days back got security update (January) and few fixes through OTA. It seems that there is no chance to get PIE update in this month. Thanks.
