CSC code can't change

Hi guys! I install custom roms and then stok rom.Reset flash binary ect...
BUT my CSC code is AFR,I'm live in Turkey so it must be TUR.I try *#272*IMEI NO# but says "No registered on Network"
(My IMEI number showed on settings,but in İMEI folder (in EFS folder) only one file.In this file not my IMEI number,it shows AFR.IS it NORMAL?)
It means "warranty is out?" What will I do?
Sorry for my bad english

Try to go to www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and chose your model and country. Then flash with ODIN, there is plenty of documentation about it in the net

if you want to change csc code that is the way to do it
to my knowledge there is NO other way
next time don't play with the phone loading all sorts of ROM's if you are not willing to deal with the possible problems should it go wrong

N920S Lollipop Downgrade

Hello all,
I have an N920S, SK Telekom, and i've done OTA update on Marshmallow. I don't like it and i want to downgrade to Lollipop. I've tried everything with stock firmware of N920S but everytime a click START on Odinit gives me FAIL from the beginning. Even installed TWRP, wipe everything, even DATA, the phone remained without OS but still can't install 5.1.1, only 6.0.1. Can anyone help me with this problem? It can be done downgrading to Lollipop on N920S?
Thank you in advance for your responses.

NO, as far as I know, you can not downgrade. you are stuck. lets see if someone has solution.

You need to use the absolute correct firmware in order to downgrade! Make sure OEM is enabled and Debugging also before trying to flash anything.
Follow my instructions here but substitute the Verizon firmware for your own.

I've already tried this with 3 official 5.1.1 ROMs of N920S SK Telecom, the first 3 5.1.1 ROMs that appeared. But when i click START on ODIN it gives me FAIL about 3 seconds from the start, and on the phone a message appears: Sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1. Maybe i'm doing something wrong. From Phone Info Samsung i got these: SM-N920S 64 GB, 23.10.2015, KNOX 0X1, on product code and original csc code i got nothing, firmware's csc code: SKC, active csc code: SKC.

Because you tripped knox you have to flash everything in the slots BL, AP etc etc.. you should unzip the firmware and find a guide that shows you how to flash them 1 by 1 by putting them in the correct slots in odin.

Also done this. I found an official 5.1.1 ROM with 4 files, AP, BL, CP, CSC and the Pit file, but nothing, the error is the same. I begin to think that on N920S this method doesn't work.
LE: It worked with another ROMA file. Thank you for your advice.

you flash the stockfirmware of an ireland carrier. figure out the CSC code for a provider of that region you want.( you might try DBT if u dont come up with one)
use samfirm tool 0.3.6(check app logs for any missing dependancies) and download the firmware file using these settings:
phone model: SM-N960F
csc: the 3 letter code of the carrier you want.
use odin 3.13.1 to flash the produce of the extracted file above once finished downloading.( fill in the slots: BL,AP,CP,CSC (for csc use csc.md5 not home_csc...)
you can search for how toos in any of the 2 procedures above.
data might be wiped so beware.

use your last valid twrp backup from before the issue to restore:
carrier configs (odm)
efs
also when you flash full stock, use csc.md5 and not home_csc.md5 as CSC file.
it migh be good to research what the very latest firmware files are for your device. there should be a july update somewhere. so use that and try again.
if you want and try to fix ure csc issue try to flash zip in:
https://1drv.ms/f/s!AhXVLDDj8g3AgeA6IyH1iTzQAGB4MA
beware that you flash this at tour own free will and i cant be held responsible for anything.
do a full backup first.
in aroma choose DBT and choose ure correct CSC code.

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.
