Hi, I want to flash a ROM from a different region on my Note 9. Will Knox be tripped if I use Odin to flash a stock ROM from sammobile?
I know Samsung's have either the Exynos or the Snapdragon chipset and it's not possible to flash a Snapdragon firmware on a Exynos phone.
However, I have an Exynos Note 9 (SM-N960F) and I'm planning to flash another stock Exynos ROM from a different region (also model SM-N960F).
My question is, will Knox be tripped if I use Odin to flash a different region, stock ROM from sammobile?
Knox won't trip if only flash original different firmware
Has anyone tried it?

I've got a Telstra-branded S8+ (code TEL according to Sammobile) and I want to flash regular unbranded firmware onto it but I'm a little confused by all this talk of CSCs and so on. Is it safe to download the Australia (XSA) firmware and simply flash the HOME_CSC file over the top of what's already there, or is there more to it than that? Do I need to worry about this tripping Knox/breaking Safetynet/disabling OTAs/etc?
I have had no issues with flashing XSA on my Singapore model Note 8. As long as it is the official firmware this will not trip Knox.
Though your original CSC will appear in the Software Information as the third CSC. Mine currently shows XSA/XSA/XSP (XSP is Singapore)
I bought a Korean version of Note8 N950N. I am having some problems using it in Bangladesh. For example, I can't turn off camera sound, Bixby search results in Korean language etc. Now I want flash N950F Rom. Is it possible to flash N950N to N950F without tripping Knox ? if yes, then how ?
Thanks in advance.
I think you can change CSC to Bangladesh CSC but you need Root your phone and that will trip knox.

not sure if we can simply flash another region stock rom over another.
As long as its same CPU class

I don't care about Samsung pay or health. But I need secure folder and OTA update. That's why I do not want to root/trip knox. Any other method will be very much appreciated. I tried using odin. Though both of the device have same hardware, but it doesn't allow me to do so.
One of the reasons why N950F firmware won't work on our N950N model is because of the PIT (Partition Information Table).
PIT is unique to a specific model number and storage capacity. So if you try installing N950F firmware, the information contained within that PIT doesn't correspond with what the N950N is expecting and will fail.
Hello.
I am using Galaxy Note 9 Korean model SM-N960N.
A few day ago, I have decided to root my note 9 and OEM Unlock my note 9. and flash twrp via odin and found custom rom.
but N960N Rom was hard to find......
I am flashing some N960F roms, and boot success.
anything was ok.
signal ok. sensor ok. call ok. sms ok. button ok. etc.....
Now I am using N960F AOSP Extended rom.
Question.
1. Note 9 Korean Model (N960N) hardware = N960F Hardware?
2. Can I Flash N960F Stock Firmware Via Odin?

you can flash any custom rom for F version in twrp.
99%it will work. the 1 % that dont, you simply wont be able to boot. in that case just flash an other rom.
you should NOT flash stock firmware with odin for F.
your device is N so flash stock N firmware.
Hi. I'm planning to buy S21 Ultra 5G at my trip. It is cheaper in there then my own country. I'm lucky, there and here using both Exynos SoC.
I was away from Samsung for a long time, as I remember Samsung was locking devices with CSC and Region based firmwares. That time Samsung Knox was not that expanded, as I see now it controls all system and builded top of it. I talked a bit now let me ask my question.
Is changing CSC blocks OTA? Or changing all firmware blocking OTA? I think odin is still around, Is using ODIN tripping Knox or blocking OTA? As I see Knox have 2 different fuse; one of them trips from custom firmwares&root other one trips from Odin with official firmware. Is that true? Actually my main question is, am I able to keep Knox untouched and OTAble after changing region.
Edit: It's not carrier locked.
Thank you.
csc transfer will not be blocked OTA if you transfer using samkey.
the use of odin for flash firmware does not trigger knox it is the custom recovery installation or root that triggers it.
Changing csc does not block OTA if you have not made any software modification (root & twrp).
Thank you for this post. Actually i have and exynos model too non carrier locked. My phone originally come in XSP firmware and service software provider is XSP too.. i have tried flashing XME firmware however that did not change my service software provider it's staying the same. I used odin to flash with.
I currently have a XFV Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.
Will knox trip/void warranty when I flash a different regional csc(XFE) firmware (using Odin) as the current one as a lot of default bloatware and Vodacom bookmarks that can't be removed.
As far as I know, changing CSC using Odin shouldn't trip Knox. If you want to be extra safe just make sure your bootloader is locked and there shouldn't be a problem.
