[Q] Sprint VS Unlocked : Which One Should I Keep ?

I have both and want to sell one or just return it.. I've activated the Sprint one, but wondering if the Unlocked one is that much faster without the bloatware.. Any comparisons/suggestions are appreciated.

It's really all personal preference....but both devices can be flashed with either firmware...same...I have flashed the SPR, XAS, and ran the unlocked firmware XAA...I'm sticking with the unlocked firmware XAA because of the download booster but either device can do any of the firmware for you...

Can you show me the link for the Unlocked Firmware download ? It was recently taken down.. So I can basically keep the sprint and debloat it with no problems ?

Just registered with Sammobile and downloaded the Unknown XAS for my Sprint (SM-N950U).. So the Sprint bloatware automatically will be deleted, per following the download instructions ?

If the bloatware is all you're trying to remove you can do that with either Package Disabler Pro or BK Disabler. I use the latter but either gives you the ability to debloat or disable pretty much anything on the phone whether it be on the system side or the installed side. Most people get Unlocked for the freedom to take their device to any carrier without having to use their branded phones or for going overseas and not getting killed by carrier overages. But if it's just bloatware that can easily be removed with either of the options above and you won't need root either. I removed a lot of mine and between that and changing my animations to .5 in Developer Options my phone FLIES.

Ok quick question, will the Unlocked Note 8 (N950F) work on the Sprint Network without any issues and if so what would those be?

That is only for GSM (EXYNOS), so No it won't work with Sprint

So I have a Sprint N8, can I flash the unlocked firmware? If I have a choice I'd choose that.

If you use the modified Prince Comsy Odin you should be able to.
Make sure you edit the Odin config file's UMS/Patch setting from 0 to 1.
Load as follows:
BL file in BL slot,
AP file in AP slot,
CP file in CP slot,
CSC file in CSC Slot (not HOME_CSC),
UMS slot empty....the userdata file is in the AP for the Unlocked software.
Hope this helps,

Sprint is CDMA and Exynos devices do not carry those bands...

I want to get the note 8 unlocked from bestbuy and use it on sprint as well. I've been away from android for 2 years. If I flash the sprint firmware will I get regular sprint updates or will I have to manually update the firmware when it's released. I mainly want to do the sprint firmware bc of the visual voicemail(I didn't like google voice with my unlocked nexus 6) or what other options do I have? I've been reading around and the unlocked version has wifi-calling built in correct? Sorry for so many questions didn't know if I should start a new thread or not.

oh ok. So since the G965U1 (XAS) is possibly the same firmware as which I currently have on the device. If I flash the carrier G965U (SPR) it should work no problems without tripping knox correct?

Is it possible to flash Canadian firmware for US unlocked note 8?

Hello
Currently I have US unlocked note 8 and using Telus which is one of Canadian carriers.
Unfortunately Volte is not available for US unlocked note 8 probably due to different CSC country code.
If I flash firmware for Canadian will I fully be able to use carrier specific features?
Is there any guide for this ?
Thanks for reading.

Hey! I have kind of a similar issue. i bought my s8 from Canada (service provider : bell). When i moved back to India, i needed region specific apps like SPay to work. Then i could manage to change CSC code from BMC (Bell) to XAC (Canada unlocked). However, i need to change it to INS. I downloaded Indian s8 firmware. But i am not sure if i can flash HOME_CSC using Odin as my S8 is a snapdragon variant(obviously) and I'm really worried if it would brick my device. Or if i would not receive OTA's (Because ONE UI is all I'm looking for) . Please guide me here.

Official Firmware thread - All Regions (as available) - OXM for SM-G960F models

Hello there, here are links to firmware files for the Galaxy S9. This is a homepage for firmware of all models, and will be updated as more and more firmware become available.
Here are the download links:
SM-G960F (single SIM) -- Link
SM-G960F/DS (Dual-SIM) -- Link
Important note: As @murtaza02 mention in the S9+ thread, the OXM multi-CSC firmware is a good choice, so we are using that firmware for the SM-G950F model (Asia, Europe, Australia, etc.)
Check out his thread here for download instructions and to know more about OXM firmware, and why you should use this only if you have SM-G960F.

Thanks a lot!!!

Is there a link for the T-Mobile U1 version that doesn't stay at 58% forever? I know that's how some ppl make money but it doesn't work if the files stay at 58%.

I'm confused
I'm coming from Europe where the only model of the the phone we use is "F" eg.sm-g955f, sm-g 965f..
I'm now in the us and I got a galaxy s9 sm-g965U1 ulocked online from the samsung store..
I then found out there is a sm-g965U... which is also unlock and unbranded for the USA... some one please tell me what difference is there between these two models... And If there is no difference why does it exist?

I'm also kinda confused with those versions of FW.
I've got US Galaxy S9 T-Mobile branded (960U), which I successfully "unlocked" right after purchase. I still had T-Mobile splash screen as well as their bloatware, but I could use my phone with any other US SIM. I didn't liked all that bloatware, so I just flashed 960U1 firmware, although I was not sure about all those "CSC" things (coming from HTC devices). Still can't find proper table with explanation of those CSC. Probably I've flashed XAR variant... At this moment my FW version (from FOTA check screen) says G960U1UEU1ARBG/G960U1OYM1ARGB/G960U1UEU1ARGB. Is it proper US unlocked version of FW or I've messed up something? I'm still using T-Mobile but I just want to get as stockish look as possible, without all carrier bloatware. Currently, WiFi calling works for me, but not video calling that was present on initial T-Mobile FW on my phone.
What is XAR in FW downloads? Why there are two T-Mobile 960U FW versions? Why there is also T-Mobile 960U1 FW?

Hey guys I note that OP states that if you have the S9 (G960F) then you should only use the OXM firmware, now I currently have that firmware on my phone but in the UK, EE does not allow 4g calling on that firmware.
Just curious if I'm missing something or is the OXM firmware the best apart from using EE and their 4g calling?
Thanks in advance
Dee

XXS1ARD1 is available for the G960F on the DBT (Germany) CSC.
OTA only. Will be available on SamFirm soon.

Good afternoon, first of all sorry for the bad English, I have a s9 sm-g960 sprint blocked, could I flash it with the unlocked sprint rom?

Doesn't Italy have the latest firmware? Supposedly fixing silences on calls.

I am trying to get a T-Mobile to Unlocked firmware without splash screens. There are U1 firmware with carriers listed. I am not sure which one to use, it is a little confusing.
I know I used XAA on my S8, is XAR the non-carrier version on s9?

Hi, I've bought an 960U in the USA, and looking to flash the Brazilian ROM, but the variant used here is the 9600. Can I Flash It?

Hello,
I am very new to all this. This is my first Android phone (Galaxy S9 SM-G960F) purchased from an ebay seller to use with a T-Mobile account. It is unlocked but it is missing the wifi calling feature and volte. I was hoping to flash it to the T-Mobile UI ROM in post 1 using Odin 3.13.1 but it keeps failing. I have been reading a lot of threads so my question is am I doing everything correctly or will that particular ROM not work on the G960F model? Thanks for any help

Yes just flash the Us firmware (g960u) but you won't get any software updates on U model. Other than that, there's no way.

Or you can flash U1 csc XAA and get updates

So the mix and match does work but does not get updates. What about wifi calling on AT&T. Can we have wifi calling on U1 firmware? If I can get that on U1 then
there is no point keeping it as U which is more restricted.

SM-N960N Samsung pay and Firmware flashing?

Hello there XDA community!
I have been lurking around for years, but somehow never got to create an account or use it, that's why i'm a junior member. I do admire the knowledge of many here, and how the tinkerer community came together here.
Getting to my question, I just received my new Note 9 SM-N960N from Korea, And I was gonna try Samsung Pay out, in Europe. To my surprise, it didn't work, saying I have an "Invalid SIM card".
So I checked around, but couldn't find any conclusive info on this. Some say changing the CSC would work. Some say flashing a new ROM does, but the info available isn't clear.
Especially for the SM-N960N series.
Which are the compatible ROMs? And will it help with my Samsung Pay issue? Is there a different workaround to get Samsung Pay working?
Thanks!

Flashing a new ROM certainly works but you need to find one for the Samsung pay country that's compatible with your phone model. Multi CSC devices like the 960FD are the most flexible.

How do I go about finding a compatible ROM for both my country and my phone? Also, does this trip the knox fuse, if I do it?
If 960FD are the most flexible, does that mean that's the direction I should be looking for a ROM?
And what do you mean that I'll need a relevant SIM card?
Thanks!

I also own a N960N, from what I undersrand after doing a some research on here. You can't flash a firmware from another region i.e. N960N to N960F. You can only flash a firmware from the same region. I was hoping to flash my N960N to N960F, but failed.

Could you link us, mate? I only seen people saying that you can't flash N960F on a N960N, sadly. But I am willing to try,if you've seen a solution...
Thanks!

It's in Vietnamese, not sure it's really N960F ROM or not

This method will not work because Knox will get trip and he won't be able to use Samsung pay.

stock firmware:
you can only flash n960n to n960n ( n960f won't work and vice versa)
custom rom: (once rooted/twrp v3.2.3.0)
you can flash n960f custom roms to n960n
so any rom in note 9 development thread will work.

Yes, but if I do that(custom ROM), Knox fuse will be tripped and I won't be able to use Samsung Pay.
