If you're like me and have the US version of the SM-T580, you know it hasn't gotten any updates for about 6 months now. Out of curiosity and frustration, I tried flashing recent updates for other country's versions to my tablet. And so far they have all worked fine. So far I have tried the following:
Russia:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/122154/T580XXU2AQA2_T580OXE2APL2_SER/
UK:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/123227/T580XXU2AQA2_T580BTU2APL2_BTU/
And I'm currently running the Singapore ROM with absolutely no problems whatsoever:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/123790/T580XXU2AQB1_T580OLB2APL1_XSP/
The Singapore version is Android security patch level February 1, 2017. So since we will probably be waiting forever for Samsung to update the US version, you can safely use these more updated ROMs for the US model. I flashed everything, BL, AP, and Home CSC. As I said, I'm currently on the Singapore ROM and it's working flawlessly. As long as you flash the Home CSC and not the plain CSC file, it will keep all your user data, including language settings, etc.
Wrong forum, this is the forum for the original Galaxy Tab

Greetings, I'm new to Samsung. I was always an HTC consumer before. All have been rooted and manually updated, but I'm trying to go about things differently for a little while with the Note 9.
I'm just wondering if the OTA updates are rolled out via CSC, and are they only rolled out to specific CSC's in each country? I have a SM-N960F with CSC : N960FOXM2ARK2
I'm currently living in Ireland, not Germany.
My current software version is AP: N960FXXS2ARK2
CP: N960FOXM2ARK2
Still on November security update.
Just browsing I thought I should at least be on a higher Oreo update, if not pie already.
Just want to make sure I don't have to go a different route or just wait. Any insight would be appreciated!
I would follow this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78660727&postcount=384
so first update to Oreo Arl3 then to Pie CSA2
then keep an eye on the main thread for future updates

Thank you for the link, I did see a couple posts like this, and lost the link. Though, I was more curious how the update process worked with the CSC to try and troubleshoot a bit. Of course, very easy to flash a zip, just wondered why a brand new, unaltered phone would not find an update.
I have been using Note9 Exynos 128GB Singapore version. Last update was on October'19. I'm yet to get Android 10 update. Need to know is there anyone facing same issue? Anyone have any update on getting OTA for Singapore version?
According to Samsung, the note 9 in all Versions will not get Android 10 before February 2020. My Provider here in Europe told me the same, so i made oan update with odin.
But anyway, the update is officially not out yet, according to samsung.

If I do update using odin, will I need to do rooting? One I update using Odin, will there be official update coming regularly?
It hasn’t been release yet in Singapore.
Samsung said February. However today is Feb 26 and still nothing. The gang of three (Singtel, Starhub and M3) have to put their rubbish in the rom so they won’t meet the deadline I think. Every year the same story. Singapore gets less frequent update than other markets making Samsung phones a real security hazard. I have to praise Apple for cutting the telcos and going on their own update cycle.
I applied the update on my Note 9 but I am having battery life issues. Have to use power saving mode all the time if not the battery is gone within half a day. I will do a full reset once the official XSP built for Singapore is out.
My wife's s9 has received the update. Me on the other hand, note 9, still nothing. They are Soo freaking slow with updates.
I downloaded and flashed the German rom from sammobile website using odin. Now my note 9 is running One UI 2 and Android 10 with Feb 2020 security patch. Everything seems to be working well so far
Note: when flashing using Odin, select "home csc" to preserve user data, or "csc" for full wipe. Personally I did a full wipe
Using N960F bought from M1, using on Gomo network (previously Starhub)
Can you please teach me how to update my NOTE 9 128gb variant from STARHUB? I'm getting frustrated about this. Everyone in the whole world got the android 10 update, Singapore is always last on the list.

You should be getting it soon. As I got the Android 10 update a couple of months after it was released in Germany.
All the countries using the N960F Variant received the Android 10 update. There is even up to 4 different built with bug fixes and security updates.
Last built released in Singapore: Oct 24...

You can follow these steps (works for both telco and retail models, so will work on your Starhub model too):
1. Download the firmware for N960F model from sammobile ( I downloaded both UK BTU and German DBT rom and both worked - currently using the German one, I think it doesn't matter which country the firmware is designed for as long as it isn't tied to a specific carrier).
Note: the rom is quite big, around 5GB so be patient. I left my laptop on overnight while the rom downloaded.
2. Unzip the rom and you should see 5 files inside the folder
3. Use Odin to flash the files (please backup all data before attempting to make any modification to your software - I used Samsung cloud to back up phone settings and manually backed up everything else to micro sd)
a) download latest odin version and unzip it. Run the exe
b) Add the respective files. The BL, AP, CP and CSC files are named accordingly. Make sure to select the correct files for each selection while flashing. To preserve data on your phone, select the home csc file instead of csc. Selecting csc will wipe the entire phone giving you a clean reset.
c) your phone needs to be booted to recovery mode in order to flash the rom
4. Enjoy your Samsung note 9 with Android 10
If unsure, just google for detailed instructions on how to use odin.
Hope it helps!

You can actually use samfirm or frija(both in xda) to download the firmware within 5mins

All noted! Thank you very much. Last question. My Note 9 from Starhub is still on plan, and only for starhub carrier. Can I change the firmware even if this one still not finished on payment?

Yup this is no issue. Flashing the official samsung rom via Odin is like manually updating the software and we are not making any "illegal" modification which can trip Knox, so no worry about warranty being voided.
I have attached a screenshot of my current software info. As you can see, my handset was bought from M1 shop. After I flashed a non-Singapore rom, the original carrier info remains intact so I can use the phone without any issue. In your case, after flashing the rom, your carrier info will still remain as Starhub
If you manage to update your phone successfully to Android 10 with no issue, just post it here so that others can update their phones too. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Reminder: Please backup everything before updating to be on the safe side
I'm back! I followed your instruction and the instruction from Sammobile. Everything went well! So far no problem after updating to Android 10. At first I was worried that when I upgrade it, my phone will be locked or bricked because I'm still paying it monthly at Starhub. But now I can still use my phone. I made sure to back up first using Samsung Smart Switch. I love the android 10 update. Everything becomes smooth and fast! Thank you very much!
Hi,
I have a note 8 (SM-N950F) UK. It's unlocked and is still on Android 8.0.0 and the security patch version is 01/04/2018.
When I try do an OTA update it says I've got the latest version of the software installed. I've downloaded Samsung Smart Switch and and that says "Your device software is up to date: RD7(XEU)
I don't think my note 8 has a OEM version of the rom on it. (When I originally got it, I believe it was on the EE network, but wasn't locked to that network).
I was wondering if anybody can help me with the fact i can't seem to update it to Android version to 9 or update the security software.
The details are:
AP: N950FXXU3CRD7
CP: N950FXXU3CRB9
CSC: N950FOXM3CRDC
Don't really know what the above means, but would like to update the ROM to Android 9.
Many thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
Terry.

BACKUP First!!
On PC: (computer)
-Download samfirm.exe or frija
-Download latest Odin version (can be found in sammobile.com firmware section or google search)
-Open up samfirm.exe or frija use : SM-N950F and XEU in the search fields and download file (~4.8 GB File) and unzip the zip file.
-Open Odin and put PHONE in download mode and connect to PC.
-Place the 4 files in its correct place:
BL = BL-FILE
AP = AP-FILE
CP = CP-FILE
CSC = CSC-FILE or HOME-CSC FILE **
** CSC-FILE WILL DELETE EVERYTHING and bring back to factory settings (like doing factory reset!) Backup first before choosing this file.
** HOME-CSC FILE will keep data intact
So choose only ONE File!!!
If you run into bugs after update do a factory reset!
They're YouTube guides on how to use Odin and samfirm.exe or frija!
But beware that you CAN NOT go back to android 8 period! So make sure that you really want to go to pie!!
Just to add to what Bluephnx said, the link below will help you on how to use Odin, but also has the download link for SamFirm. (For region in Samfirm, use either XEU, which is UK and Ireland, or BTU, which is UK, or you will get carrier bloatware. You can obviously flash carrier filmware if you choose)

Many thanks for that. Much appreciated.
I'll give what you suggest a go.
Really don't understand why I can't do it OTA tho', would there be something wrong with my phone to stop OTA update working?
And is there any reason not to go to Pie (9) and stick on 8 that you know of?

It just glitches/bugs out sometimes. It has happened to me before, but once flashing via Odin, it usually resolves the OTA problem. You could try a factory reset, which can sometimes resolve the OTA bug, just back your data up first.
I honestly can't remember what Oreo was like to make a comparison for you, but some people do hate Pie, where I have been very happy with it since it's launch.
Here is a little explanation of Pie on the Note 8 on YT that you may find useful.

Did you ever do the OTA update yourself before on that phone or did you just buy it on AP: N950FXXU3CRD7 CP: N950FXXU3CRB9 CSC: N950FOXM3CRDC? If it's been that way since you got it then the most likely answer is that someone else updated it using a version of firmware that can't update via OTA and the only way to fix that is to use odin and flash the latest version of firmware.
I wrote a full guide on how to flash One UI 4.0.
This can be implemented for any of the phones supported for the One UI 4.0 Beta. However I only own an S21 Ultra, so I'm only hosting the files linked within the guide for that device, but the other files can be found around here in the OTA download threads.

Here's the step by step video:
This is such a great guide!
Out of curiosity, is it normal for the beta build to periodically "restart"? I noticed that the lock screen flashed, reloaded, it required me to use the PIN (instead of face/finger print). When I checked the uptime on the phone that stayed the same.
Any ideas?
Can some tell me if I have a Verizon S21U (SM-998U) on 4AUIG how can I install the beta? Will this method work? Thanks

Yes this will work, you will have to use Odin 3.14.1 patcheD, downgrade to 998U1 XAA AUH9, then factory reset, enter adb sideload, flash beta 1, reboot, reboot to sideload, flash beta 2, factory reset, reboot, done.
All files are linked in the guide
EDIT:
OR you can use the 998U beta files lingering around here, really doesn't matter, only difference is that the CSC I believe has to match, so if you have 998U VZN, and the beta 1 update is for 998U TMB, then it's going to see that the firmware is different and I think it's going to fail, which means you have to flash whichever one is for the update zip first. Which the person who uploaded should say their exact firmware they were on that they captured the update from.
This is why U1 is just easier, there's only one, they're all XAA, no CSC stuff to worry about, no carrier bloatapps in the background. It's the ideal choice for the best experience.

thank for your explanation and recommendation! Greatly appreciated.
Hi! My s21u CSC is ZTO (Brazil), part of OWO multi-CSC, and it's still on AUHB firmware. Can I manually update to AUHD? Or do I have to wait for the AUHD update specifically for my CSC and only then update to ZUID (Beta 1) and then to ZUJ1 (Beta 2)? Also, the device is not rooted yet.

You can manually wait but the likely hood of something for that specific model being leaked around here probably won't happen.
Best to just use patched odin to flash auh9, flash zuid beta one, reboot, flash zuj1 beta 2, factory reset, start from there and call it a day. wait for leaked updates to appear here, it's going to be the most common device to get leaked builds
I did some research @hthiengo and I found a few things

Just follow this guide, but replace the initial firmware I have linked with Exynos firmware for SM-G998B AUHD, then flash the ZUIC file linked in that thread, from there follow along with the OTA section and flash ZUIC to ZUJ1 and you're in business.
From that point, you can continue to flash OTA update's as people capture the .bin file.
Alternativly, there's an updated section at the bottom of that opening post, where someone has also captured AUIE to ZUJ1. This will just go from the October Security patch of One UI 3.1 to One UI 4.0 Beta 2 directly, saves you a few steps out of the gate.
thanks for updating the guide to include exynos
So I switched to TMobile from Verizon so I have a actually TMobile phone. I enrolled to beta yesterday thinking I'd have it by now still haven't received it. The only update I got was the security update for September. Any idea help please haven't done this in a while and don't have the proper laptop at the moment to use odin. So help would be awesome plz.

Hello guys, anyone has the link to update beta 3 ZUJG to beta 4 on s21 ultra exynos?
