It's having issues with opening a com port to phone.
So try another USB port and/or cable. Make sure Odin says that phone is recognized by Odin.

Is the port on phone clean?
Try another Odin version?
Which firmware you are on?
And what firmware are you trying to flash?
List the full firmware name. Eg. N950FXXU5CRK1

Then that's ur issue. You can not downgrade your bootloader version from version 5 to version 4, 3,2,1.
Can't go from N950FXXU"5"CSA3 (latest firmware) to N950FXXS"1"AQK9.
You can only flash any firmware with "5" or higher # .

Not going to work for the Korean one the updat.zip is for n950f not n950n.
Try this:
Download N950FXXU5SCA3 for INS using samfirm
Use the latest Odin to flash it.
Make sure that your on N950FXXU5SCA3 after flash.
Download the update.zip from the pie beta thread.
Place it on a sd card (no folders just root directory)
Reboot into recovery and update from sd card and select update.zip file.
For you to join the beta program you have to have a phone that's from India/UK/Korea and have a SIM card that's from there and be there as well. It won't work if your outside the region with a different SIM card.

I have tried to join the pie beta with my n950f XEU from UK (which beta pie is available for) but since I'm in Canada with a Canadian sim card the Samsung member app won't allow me to join because of my Canadian sim card.
So the only way to get the beta pie is to do it manually by doing the above steps.

Change permission of the zip lol
Worked for me, thanks a lot.
Had to format first and then flash U1.
So I realized I am actually on the arc6 tmb update but they're both 960u.
I put the update.zip on the root of my SD card and when I boot to recovery it says installing update briefly and then goes to recovery. From there if click install update from SD card it says "can't mount SD" so I guess I'll copy this to my PC and then adb it over.
So my question is, can I install a ATT update.zip if I'm on 960u TMB? If so can I do it from recovery?
I don't think this update is certified yet / won't pass safety net. Someone on it correct me if I'm wrong.

any chance you have revision 4 of the SM-G935U firmware on oreo?
Thanks you repaired my phone !
This worked for my phone but now im getting an error with my recovery menu saying it doesn't exist. I saw an earlier post with the same problem.
I bought this phone used and now its saying that i am not the original account signed in to the phone. I took it to the 2nd hand shop i bought it from and they want to charge me money to fix the problem when i remember signing in first thing to the phone. Im not to savi with these things but did installing this firmware change my user data?
Hi all,
Please help me out!
I have a note 8 with (N950U) - XAA/XAA/SPR - and I have not received a single OTA update!
I used the firmware science method to install a few updates and flashed (using Odin) when Oreo was released.
But now I want to solve this issue and start receiving OTA updates. I do not mind using Odin again to get this sorted - but preferable not lose my data.
Thank you

I have tried looking for update on a US VPN but again, no result.
You think a change of region - SPR to something else will solve this issue?
Thnx
You have a branded device but not linked with any carrier in US. Change your firmware to an unbranded one and from CRL2 you will receive the last oreo stable CSA1 or you can download the firmware directly from an app like Updato from Google Play and wait that a beta stable on pie will be released.

Thank you i am going to try this.
Question, the guide says "Note - If you are flashing Unlocked Firmware from Carrier Firmware you must use Prince Comsy Odin otherwise, use regular Odin."
So, in my case i am going from a 950U firmware to 950U1, should i use odin or prince comsy odin? and is there a way to keep my data? or will it be reset for sure?

You can keep your data but in this case you will go to switch to a different firmware so is better that you do a backup with SmartSwitch and them go to recovery, do a format/factory reset , then in Odin flash the firmware, reboot and restore your data

I'm not sure what exactly is Comsy, I read about it but I guess this was an older version, I used the patched version linked in one of my previous posts and works like a charm. I switch from N950U to N950U1 and I had any trouble doing this procedure. About keep your data if you use Home_CSC you will preserve it but you need to delete your old CSC that is where go the preferences of a carrier, so you have to use CSC_oyn file instead

If you are not using a Sprint sim and your device is not a locked carrier (under contract) this message can't appear.
If you follow all the steps, factory resetting first in recovery, then flashing the CRL2 firmware including CSC_oyn then the bloat from the carrier has to be deleted.
It's probably too that you backed up settings with Smart Switch and then restored it, if this is the case try by factory resetting again and restore your backup but not your settings, also check any app related with sim provider that you backed up avoiding restore it.
Need help please

You have a branded device but not linked with any carrier in US. Change your firmware to an unbranded one and from CRL2 you will receive the last oreo stable CSA1 or you can download the firmware directly from an app like Updato from Google Play and wait that a beta stable on pie will be released.

Hi, like Ahmed I also have a SM-N950U XAA/XAA/SPR. My note 8 is not receiving OTA update and it seems like it never will (writing on 01-Apr-2019). Its probably because im using it in Pakistan. Im fairly new to the OTA and manual OS flashing thing. I dont understand any CRL2 or 3 whatever it is.. I would really appreciate if i could get a step by step guide about how to do it since im going to be making a transition from Nougat to Oreo (Or pie of possible). Please please i would really appreciate your help. as i dont want to brick my phone and i dont know what to do.
Thanks a bunch.

Well, the steps are in all the thread.
Let´s go for the obvious first; I guess actually you are not using a sim card from US so you are out of US now and then no need on any carrier´s bloat.
You need first of all switch to an unbranded firmware, it´s mean from N950U to N950U1.
If you are actually on nougat then flash this firmware that is the latest Oreo since you can upgrade after to Pie https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397886161 Use this modded Odin to flash it https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657595813
Process to flash through Odin and switch correctly to unbranded firmware:
- First of all backup your important data using SmartSwitch (you can do it on a SDCard inside your device)
- Enable USB Debugging in developer options and OEM unlock if present.
- Go to recovery and Factory Reset/Format Data.
- Then use menu "Reboot to bootloader" to go to download mode.
- Load the files on Odin and from the two CSC choose CSC_OYN to delete/reset all the preferences, start flashing and wait PASS message.
- Reboot normally to system.
From here to upgrade to Pie go to this site https://firmware.science and complete the following: Model number: SM-N950U1 (this will be from now your model number), in Current version put the firmware ended with CRL2 (the firmware that you flashed previously) and download the first Beta ended on CSAB; move the zip onto your device and go to recovery and flash it using Update from sdcard (this could be wipe again your data).
If you want to update to the second Beta repeat the previous process; complete as Current version: firmware ended on CSAB and choose and download firmware ended on CSBB (less sized).
And finally to go to the last Beta available do the same, Current version; firmware ended on CSBB and download firmware ended on ZSC2 and flash it again using recovery updater.
It could be more Betas but not available yet on Firmware.science.
From beta firmware it´s unlikely that you receive OTA but when an Official Pie be release theoretically you have to receive them normally or if you want to receive them just now then you have to stay on Oreo CRL2 you´ll receive an Oreo OTA update CSA1 (more or less 40MB) and wait from there that an official Pie will be release.
First of all thanks a lot for getting back to me so quick i really appreciate it. Yes youre right about not using the US sim card. If you could just bare with my rookie questions a bit more.
Do i download the "firmware" and modded odin into my note 08 by following your shared links or do i have to download them into PC. If phone, then shud it be on SD card or internal storage?
Second, """Go to recovery and Factory Reset/Format Data.
- Then use menu "Reboot to bootloader" to go to download mode.
- Load the files on Odin and from the two CSC choose CSC_OYN to delete/reset all the preferences, start flashing and wait PASS message.
- Reboot normally to system."""
I only know how to enable developer mode. Thats when you tap built number. But debugger and OEM idk that. And everything you mentioned in """ how do i do it ? Whats to be done on PC and what on computer i have no clue. Youll have to guide me like a child about this i apologise.
Judging by your pie statements. Thats very techincal to do. So i believe its better off going for Oreo for now and wait for the Pie update automatically.
Thanks in advance

The first firmware linked at Android File Host is Oreo, this firmware you have to flash it using Odin so download it with your pc and put it in any place of your preference onto your pc DON´T move it to your device.
Second, """Go to recovery and Factory Reset/Format Data.

This is indicated to make a clean flash, to delete/reset some APN preferences and some traces that came preinstalled with this device linked to a carrier.
- Then use menu "Reboot to bootloader" to go to download mode.
- Load the files on Odin and from the two CSC choose CSC_OYN to delete/reset all the preferences, start flashing and wait PASS message.

Unzip the firmware that you downloaded till get some files in .tar format, within these files you´ll find two CSC files, choose the CSC_OYN file and not the CSC_HOME on the CSC box and all the other files load them on every corresponding box: BL, AP, CP that you´ll find in Odin.
I only know how to enable developer mode. Thats when you tap built number. But debugger and OEM idk that. And everything you mentioned in """ how do i do it ? Whats to be done on PC and what on computer i have no clue. Youll have to guide me like a child about this i apologise.

No, I refer to OEM unlock option but I forgot that this option is not visible in this variant so forget it, just enable Developer Options and USB Debugging that you will find them then to tap on build number 7 times.
Here´s a tutorial about how to use Odin https://androidmtk.com/flash-samsung-stock-rom-using-odin just replace some step by the indicated here.
Judging by your pie statements. Thats very techincal to do. So i believe its better off going for Oreo for now and wait for the Pie update automatically.

Really is not so hard to do all this but if you´re not so familiar you can flash just the firmware linked and wait for an OTA prompt update.
I have the N960U, and I'm using Tmo. I haven't gotten the android 10 update, and just realized that my baseband doesn't match the Tmo version. Mine is... N960USQS2CS15. Tmo's ended with 13. Is there anything that I can do to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Download from Sammobile the latest update and manually install using Odin. That is the universal solution for all Samsung smartphones.

All the discussion I have read on the forums say all versions should be compatible with all models. Just be careful when manually installing because you can run into problems.

Odin is saying to check the "oem unlock" in developer options. There is no oem unlock in there. I have the N960U model.

OEM unlock is for unlocking the bootloader. You don't need to do that. Did you boot into download mode before plugging in your device?

OK, now i can't get the download. Nothing from "mirror.com", and they won't let me in to sammobile, even though i have a valid account. Can you send me a link to a website that has the download? thanks.
Try using Frija. Its a samsung firmware downloading utility. Downloading from sammobile will take atleast a day. Tbis utikity takes a few minutes, depending on your connection speed.

Used MediaFire. All went well, and android 10 is up and running. Sorry that i'm so stubborn. I'm Irish you see. Just wondering why Odin doesn't want you to use your userdata files in the setup? Thanks again for pushing me when i needed it.
