Issues after update - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hey guys. Having some issues after I flashed a firmware. Phone is falsely detecting root, and some apps don't work anymore. Apps affected include
Samsung Pass
S Health
Secure Folder
Phone has never been rooted. I've done a factory data reset twice, still getting the same errors. Went into download mode to check if Knox has been tripped. Please see attached picture.
When I try to switch on Mobile Hotspot, I get the following message: "All apps associated with this action have been turned off, blocked, or are not installed". Only app I disabled is Facebook.
Don't know if these issues are related
I used the patched Odin to flash the new firmware. Phone is originally an unlocked AT&T model (N960U). I flashed an N960U1 firmware (https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...SM-N960U1/XAA/download/N960U1UES1CSF1/278280/). Haven't noticed any other issue. Phone is fully functional, and there are no network issues (my biggest fear)
Kindly help

did you flash all n960u1 firmware files? or just the AP file?

Flash all the files, but also tick for "Nand erase" and repartition (U also need to use the pit-file, that you can extract from the CSC-file with 7-zip). Also when selecting CSC-file in Odin, don't use "Home_CSC."
Flash it, the phone will reboot (and a blue screen may appear, let the phone finish and again reboot.)
Maybe you should use this ROM instead? https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note9/firmware/SM-N960U/CHA/download/N960USQS1CSF3/277681/

URGENT HELP Stuck at Boot screen

Today I bought an ATT galaxy s6 edge for about $350, I was told it wouldn't boot past the powered by Android screen. I thought it would be an easy flash in odin. So I flaBootscreem ock 0I2 firmware and it passed successfully. But it still won't pass the Samsung logo. I've tried a few other methods people have posted. Like wipe data and cache but it still won't work. Now I feel bad that I spent the money on a paperweight. Anyone have any ideas?
Did you try to flash the latest firmware, with all 4 files via odin?
Here is the link for the latest. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6SkpQCi70hHY2NnZExnbThTblE/view

I tried OI2 which is what is on it. And I did flash all 4 files. I'll try the newest one. But I believe the efs file is corrupted
Ok, can you get to the recovery in the phone? Tell me if you see anywhere in the bottom "dm verify verification failed".

Yes it does say that at the bottom. I'm in the process of trying to sell it as I don't have the time right now to deal with it. But if its something simple I can download to fix I would. As I also don't have home Internet all download are through my carrier
Oh then its really easy, reflash latest software via odin with the 4 files. In options tab make sure you select the clean efs folder and there you go my friend

Please help! After flash this ROM from odin, It won't boot up and stuck at Android Recovery screen. It said dm-verification fail.... need to check DRK first......
Can some one give me the link to the file to fix this issue please? I just found the file G925F_6.0.1_fixdrk. I did not see the file to fix G925A.
Thanks in Advance!
Works very well installed it directly from 5.1.1 with BOJ9
Thanks!
Worked for me as well, but i noticed by battery is draining faster. When my screen is on you can just see the battery vanish no matter what application i use. I came from CPF1 to this and i am thinking of going back since i could get a day and some on my phone..
Running factory stock AT&T firmware.
worked fine for me from Vietnam
I had no trouble with this, and was actually the only firmware that fixed the issue I created during a hastily thought out root attempt.
Appreciate it
I'm in Georgia too so nobody should have any trouble if you set up Odin correctly.
You will have to re-flash another modem, but it gets the phone to boot correctly.

Yea I think it is locked. I think it's on Nougat or marshmallow. Not any the new firmware that's for sure

Do you get the 'blocked by mdm' notice when trying to factory reset via recovery?
Also could you post the actual firmware build.
You can find it in the 'about' section.
Firmware version is 5.1.1
When I do factory reboot like how you normally would it just reboots like a fresh tablet but then Knox pops up. That's why I was wondering if I flash a firmware (if I can find one) with Odin maybe that will work.......?

Factory reboot or Factory reset?
Can you post a screen shot of this pop up?
It's actually both. When it completes said process Knox Mobile Enrollment pops up regardless of the method. Do you think the method I think would work? Flash with custom ROM using odin?
Here you go, let us know if anything helps.

FW-8.0.0] S7 EDGE SNAPDRAGON - UNIVERSAL OREO G935UUES4CRG3 July 1/2018 sec

I Downloaded The Fw From Sammobile, Yes Its Was Very Slow, Thats Why I Re-upped It Untouched To Androidfilehost, Much Faster To Dl For Others.
Only For Snapdragon Variants, Its The Universal Firmware, Its Free Of Carrier Bloat But Has Some Samsung Useless Apps.
Not For Exynos Variants Like The Sm-g935f, Etc.
MORE ABOUT UNIVERSAL FW READ THIS
The Zip Has The Att Extension But All Universal Snapdragon Fw Are The Same Afaik, It Does Not Install Anything Specific For Att,
Im On Telus/koodo Using The Sm-g935a Without Issues, Shows Lte Signal When On Data Mode.
Idk If Auto Updates Work, Although Update Options Are Available From The System Menu
Instructions:
Dl Zip, Extract Zip, Put Phone In Dl/odin Mode. Run Odin As Admin, And Load Each Cp, Ap, Bl And Csc(Dont Use The Home Csc As I Read Its Fracks Things Up), Just Use "Csc_oym" File In Odin
Fyi. I Used Princes Odin But Failed, Used Untouched Odin And It Flashed Successfully. Was On Nougat 7.0 Sim Unlocked SM-G935A At&t Branded Stock Fw. I Included Both For Your Pleasure.

Hi Vincom, yes i have already read the article. the main reason im flashing the rom is because of the hidden DATA icon in the toggle screen. and also i want my phone to have the OREO update as well. this is my first samsung phone. i have experience in flashing ROMs in my xiaomi redmi 1s phone. so im a bit skeptical if i can do this on my own. this odin process is very new to me. so what is the worst thing that can happen it i brick my phone? can i do a hard reset and will it default to the stock AT&T ROM if ever?

yes and no, csc controls what bloatware and which settings are setup by default dependant on carrier and country, hence why this is a universal fw and not dependant on original csc files.
if u truly have the att s7edge g935a, which is what i had, then yes.

@vincom, initially got an error sha256 when i started to flash it. and my phone started to boot loop after i use a different odin, the prince odin. but after some searching. i fount out i just need to use the newer patch version of odin - Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD and now im running Oreo on my s7 edge. hopefully this can help others too.

yup i tried that one the first time. thats when it gave me the error message sha256. then i tried the prince odin that gave me the error mmc something.
The author claims performance and battery improvements but has anyone that switched over really noticed that big of a improvement?
I mean i already disabled all the carrier bloat with adhell isn't that basically the same as installing this rom? Does the universal maybe have a different kernal/different system level tweaks?
Bro , what will happen if my unlocked at&t s7edge installing this ? Is there sim will be locked again or not ? Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english...

Not Receiving OTA UPDATES!!!!

Hi all,
Please help me out!
I have a note 8 with (N950U) - XAA/XAA/SPR - and I have not received a single OTA update!
I used the firmware science method to install a few updates and flashed (using Odin) when Oreo was released.
But now I want to solve this issue and start receiving OTA updates. I do not mind using Odin again to get this sorted - but preferable not lose my data.
Thank you

You have a branded device but not linked with any carrier in US. Change your firmware to an unbranded one and from CRL2 you will receive the last oreo stable CSA1 or you can download the firmware directly from an app like Updato from Google Play and wait that a beta stable on pie will be released.

Odin Tool normal just in case you need it:

Last Oreo Odin rom available:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397886161
Staying in this version you have to theoretically receive updates from OTA

Thank you i am going to try this.
Question, the guide says "Note - If you are flashing Unlocked Firmware from Carrier Firmware you must use Prince Comsy Odin otherwise, use regular Odin."
So, in my case i am going from a 950U firmware to 950U1, should i use odin or prince comsy odin? and is there a way to keep my data? or will it be reset for sure?

Use the modded Odin mentioned.
You can keep your data but in this case you will go to switch to a different firmware so is better that you do a backup with SmartSwitch and them go to recovery, do a format/factory reset , then in Odin flash the firmware, reboot and restore your data

Great I will do a full reset. But when you say modded Odin is the prince comsey Odin?
try restoring your phone's firmware using Samsung Smart Switch.

I'm not sure what exactly is Comsy, I read about it but I guess this was an older version, I used the patched version linked in one of my previous posts and works like a charm. I switch from N950U to N950U1 and I had any trouble doing this procedure. About keep your data if you use Home_CSC you will preserve it but you need to delete your old CSC that is where go the preferences of a carrier, so you have to use CSC_oyn file instead

If you are not using a Sprint sim and your device is not a locked carrier (under contract) this message can't appear.
If you follow all the steps, factory resetting first in recovery, then flashing the CRL2 firmware including CSC_oyn then the bloat from the carrier has to be deleted.
It's probably too that you backed up settings with Smart Switch and then restored it, if this is the case try by factory resetting again and restore your backup but not your settings, also check any app related with sim provider that you backed up avoiding restore it.
Need help please

Hi, like Ahmed I also have a SM-N950U XAA/XAA/SPR. My note 8 is not receiving OTA update and it seems like it never will (writing on 01-Apr-2019). Its probably because im using it in Pakistan. Im fairly new to the OTA and manual OS flashing thing. I dont understand any CRL2 or 3 whatever it is.. I would really appreciate if i could get a step by step guide about how to do it since im going to be making a transition from Nougat to Oreo (Or pie of possible). Please please i would really appreciate your help. as i dont want to brick my phone and i dont know what to do.
Thanks a bunch.

Well, the steps are in all the thread.
Let´s go for the obvious first; I guess actually you are not using a sim card from US so you are out of US now and then no need on any carrier´s bloat.
You need first of all switch to an unbranded firmware, it´s mean from N950U to N950U1.
If you are actually on nougat then flash this firmware that is the latest Oreo since you can upgrade after to Pie https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397886161 Use this modded Odin to flash it https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657595813
Process to flash through Odin and switch correctly to unbranded firmware:
- First of all backup your important data using SmartSwitch (you can do it on a SDCard inside your device)
- Enable USB Debugging in developer options and OEM unlock if present.
- Go to recovery and Factory Reset/Format Data.
- Then use menu "Reboot to bootloader" to go to download mode.
- Load the files on Odin and from the two CSC choose CSC_OYN to delete/reset all the preferences, start flashing and wait PASS message.
- Reboot normally to system.
From here to upgrade to Pie go to this site https://firmware.science and complete the following: Model number: SM-N950U1 (this will be from now your model number), in Current version put the firmware ended with CRL2 (the firmware that you flashed previously) and download the first Beta ended on CSAB; move the zip onto your device and go to recovery and flash it using Update from sdcard (this could be wipe again your data).
If you want to update to the second Beta repeat the previous process; complete as Current version: firmware ended on CSAB and choose and download firmware ended on CSBB (less sized).
And finally to go to the last Beta available do the same, Current version; firmware ended on CSBB and download firmware ended on ZSC2 and flash it again using recovery updater.
It could be more Betas but not available yet on Firmware.science.
From beta firmware it´s unlikely that you receive OTA but when an Official Pie be release theoretically you have to receive them normally or if you want to receive them just now then you have to stay on Oreo CRL2 you´ll receive an Oreo OTA update CSA1 (more or less 40MB) and wait from there that an official Pie will be release.
First of all thanks a lot for getting back to me so quick i really appreciate it. Yes youre right about not using the US sim card. If you could just bare with my rookie questions a bit more.
Do i download the "firmware" and modded odin into my note 08 by following your shared links or do i have to download them into PC. If phone, then shud it be on SD card or internal storage?
Second, """Go to recovery and Factory Reset/Format Data.
- Then use menu "Reboot to bootloader" to go to download mode.
- Load the files on Odin and from the two CSC choose CSC_OYN to delete/reset all the preferences, start flashing and wait PASS message.
- Reboot normally to system."""
I only know how to enable developer mode. Thats when you tap built number. But debugger and OEM idk that. And everything you mentioned in """ how do i do it ? Whats to be done on PC and what on computer i have no clue. Youll have to guide me like a child about this i apologise.
Judging by your pie statements. Thats very techincal to do. So i believe its better off going for Oreo for now and wait for the Pie update automatically.
Thanks in advance

The first firmware linked at Android File Host is Oreo, this firmware you have to flash it using Odin so download it with your pc and put it in any place of your preference onto your pc DON´T move it to your device.

This is indicated to make a clean flash, to delete/reset some APN preferences and some traces that came preinstalled with this device linked to a carrier.

Unzip the firmware that you downloaded till get some files in .tar format, within these files you´ll find two CSC files, choose the CSC_OYN file and not the CSC_HOME on the CSC box and all the other files load them on every corresponding box: BL, AP, CP that you´ll find in Odin.

No, I refer to OEM unlock option but I forgot that this option is not visible in this variant so forget it, just enable Developer Options and USB Debugging that you will find them then to tap on build number 7 times.
Here´s a tutorial about how to use Odin https://androidmtk.com/flash-samsung-stock-rom-using-odin just replace some step by the indicated here.

Really is not so hard to do all this but if you´re not so familiar you can flash just the firmware linked and wait for an OTA prompt update.
