rooting SM-N950F

Just wondering if any one knows can I use another countries firmware on my SM-N950F Optus australia note 8 such as UK or something that had been updated.
TIA.
John

Yes. You can. Just make sure that the firmware is for N950F. I think that now BRI has latest firmware, with November Security Patch.

N9600 vs N960F updates speed

I have the N9600 dual sim (snap dragon) but it seems that the N960F version has quicker updates than the N9600. I'm still on arh2 while h6 is out for the F version
I never had this version before , can some one please advise on this.

Here with N9600 and with patch 1 august rom ... arh2

I think I goofed... in my hase to get a note 9 , I purchased the N9600 dual sim snapdragon version. I always had the exynos versions before an got faster upgrades by flashing via Odin. Now I've been stuck at H2 Aug update while N960F version has 2 September updates H6 and I9.
So as a warning to everyone; STICK TO THE EXYNOS VERSION for faster updates.

I have exynos version but I prefer the better battery life, no lagging gpu, and radio FM over the fastest updates.

[Q] Note 8 SM-N950U1

Dear admin,
My cousin gifted me with galaxy note 8 SM-N950U1. Now I'm using that in India. because of US model, I can't use Samsung Pay ( Indian cards are not supported ) and Volte ( no option to enable Volte ) in India. My model number and firmware details are as below.

My question is can I flash Indian firmware to use Volte and Samsung Pay Indian version.? If so, kindly provide the link. some people are saying flashing Indian firmware on US phone will hard brick the phone because Indian phones are bundled with Exynos and my phone is having Snapdragon processor. Please help me with a solution. Thanks in advance.

Nope. Indian models are N950F. You can't cross flash.
Edit, in your last paragraph you say you already got your answer. Not sure why you asked again, then. No matter how many times you ask, the answer will always be the same.

note 9 n960 f/ds feb patch

Hi all. I have a note 9 exynos dual sim from malaysia. I am still on Jan patch and havent received any feb patch ota. Heard from a lot of folks that feb patch is already rolled out. Is there any link that I can use to download this ota and flash?

See if this matches your device details:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy/SM-N960F/XME/
I've filtered out firmware updates for Malaysia (XME) and can only see one update for Pie on Feb 10, 2019. I don't think there's rollout for February patch rolled out for Malaysia yet. You can download SamMobile app and get informed about any new rollouts.
Hope this helps.
