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.

KNOX - Flashing different region ROM

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?

Fail to Flash N960N with N960F firmware

Hi,
I'm having a problem flashing my N960N with a N960F.
So far, I've rooted my phone with twrp and installed magisk.
However, when I tried to flash my phone with stock firmware in Odin I would get a fail to re-repartition error.
Any help would be great.
Thank you

you should use a custom rom and flash it throught twrp and not odin, use odin to flash official firmware.
in this case go to the note 9 roms forum and search for a rom that supports your model in this case its usually in the tittle N, even thought i read that you can flash the F rom to N model but i didnt try it, maybe some one can confirm this or not.

Thanks for reply, I've been trying to flash my phone with official firmware using Odin from N960N to N960F BTU (United Kingdom). I don't want to use custom rom.
then you are trying for nothing and it will never work. worst comes to worst you might brick.

You shouldn't have any issues installing the N960F BTU OS onto your N960N as they are basically the same device and run on the same hardware specs. They even run on the same LTE bands...

You can ONLY flash the firmware with SAME model number.
Btw, wasn't G960N this model number belongs to S9?

flashing through odin n960f firmware to n960n its not possible my friend, the only way to do so is to root your phone and then flash a custom rom, in your case android pie with custom csc to your country, i have the same model and tried this and it worked, it doesnt work in android 10 because samsung/google made some changes in csc, soo i guess we will have to wait until we find a solution for andorid 10/on ui 2.
this is the link to csc selector for changing to your country if you root your phone:
csc selector
It does not matter. I found solutions
1) combination file way
2) custom rom, root, csc selector (i use that one now)

Hello.. I have the same problem. I bought an unlocked SM-N960N phone that was still in Android 9. Somehow the seller was able to put in a SM-N960F rom in it. I have tried flashing the latest Android 10 but I'm getting stuck with a "SECURE CHECK FAIL: (BOOTLOADER)" error and now I have bricked device.
Can you share the steps and what to download?

Maybe it was a custom rom. Afaik no way to flash n960f fw into n960n.
Just flash n960n fw.

yep, probably custom rom with named 960f. not imposibble but requires very effort for 960f to 960n...
if you buy from second hand, i mean used phone like me. i suggest stop trying official roms. if you are sure that your note 9 %100 original. you can find phone infos from download mode. i prefer using custom roms with used note 9. i suggest it you too. i wrote my solution already:

It seems to be custom ROM indeed. I figured out what stock ROM to use through my IMEI number. Flashed it and I'm now typing this from my Note 9.
It doesn't seem that my phone is rooted yet but the OEM is already unlocked.
Where can I get a combination file? My device is in the KTC csc.
I'm also not familiar with using combination files, can you point me to a guide?

Looks like the Dr. Ketan ROM will retain the features I'm concerned about on a custom ROM (i.e. DeX, Samsung Health, Dual SIM). I'll try it out some other time.

I am assuming you have a refurbished note 9 that is SM-N960N korean version with modified software that shows N960F because N960F has more value in market.
But sadly you got korean note 9 which is fine in most cases but if you want to upgrade the software to android 10 you have to flash N960N firmware via odin tool.
If your phone is dual sim you will lose dual sim capability if you flash N960N firmware because N960N never came with dual sim variant.some refurbishing companies they clone the main Imei to dual imei so it can convert single sim to dual sim "software wise" but its actually faked 2nd imei.

Make sure choose dual sim patch option when you flash the rom.
Thank you very much for giving a full tutorial to me.
@Trex888 Will this restore the mobile to Official status or it will still be rooted? And will we encounter any problems with wifi or the network we use?
Also, in our country we have to pay tax for each IMEI, will my IMEI change as well?

Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960N Flash Indian firmware

hi,
Somehow my Galaxy note 9 i purchased form Dubai is showing SM-N960F/DS in the software information, but actually the device is SM-N960N model with single sim which is a Korean model. The seller actually made a software customization to work the dual sim and the device is also rooted.I can not see any software update options on the settings list. I have tried to install the Indian firmware using Odin, but nothing works.
So is there any solutions to change the firmware to Indian??
I would recommend that you install the stock N960N OS back onto your device. You can change the language interface to Indian, during the setup process after you installed the OS
