back to stock - no phone signal - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

i had AMBASADII v4 installed on my n950F/D and all was well.
i sold my phone to a friend who was freaked out by the word root.
so i loaded up ODIN and installed MID_SM-N960F_1_20190211112001_r1d73jpuzn_fac using the CSC (hot home_CSC)
now the sim card manager doesnt work (freezes) and the device doesnt read the network (phone signal)
i am now downloading the latest ROM from https://updato.com/
what did i do wrong? could it be i had to do home_csc and not csc?
or maybe the ambasadii i had a newer CS and BL and the stock had an older modem file?

i know that's why i said note 8 and note 9.
ure probably tring to flash an old firmware on a newer bootlaoder rev. fone.
be sure to flash all files aswell... not just AP or CSC
but all 4 md5's.

ya exactly. i know i am flashing an old firmware ...when i had ambasadii i had updated the BL and CP ....
but still, if you flash a FULL suite of the files it should still work, right? i mean we're wiping fresh and restarting. why is the new one sticking? it should revert to the old one from the old firmware.
anyways -- ive downloaded all the latest and we'll see.

and if you goto Settings -> Connections -> Sim Card Manager it just freezes.

seems CP from ambasadii is still more recent than what ever was dled on updato.
try using samfirm tool 0.3.6 and really get the latest. or try sammobile.com
latest should be august patch.
get BTU region/CSC firmware

no no. you quoted me because i replied about the issues.
i still have not tried the downloaded NEW ROMs...i was just speaking of the ORIGINAL issues. i'll try later and see. the phone is with my friend, the person i sold it to.
on a side note; how do i make sure what the BTU region/CSC is from serial/imei ?

BTU csc is actualy but one of the carrier sales code within the oxm region and should cover what ever sim you put in it. imei is just the phones ID shown to the provider.
I suggested BTU (uk unbranded) as oxm is not a searchable/downloadable firmware persay. i could have just as well said DBT which would also be within oxm and be the same firmware zip file. using those region codes usually yields the most up to date multi csc firmware.

[Guide] Change Note 9 CSC Without Root - Easy Guide

I followed a guide by XDA User applepay from this link, but just wanted to try and simplify it because i found it pretty complicated to understand at first.
It would be worth reading that thread before this even if it doesn't make sense. Please also read this complete thread before you attempt it.
I have only followed the guide so i can't answer any questions to help. I am not responsible for any problems you run into. This is just a guide of what I did to get mine to work.
I was successful using my SM-N960F going from CSC XME to TEL.
I cannot confirm that this method will work on other models, but i don't see why not considering the guide was originally for a S9.
Make sure you select your exact model when downloading files and flashing files. Using other model firmware may brick your phone.
Backup your files! I used Smart Switch on windows. This method will wipe your phone in the process.
Use the original usb cable you got in the box and install the Samsung USB drivers if you haven't already.
I have confirmed on my device that OTA updates work fine after this procedure.
Please comment if you think there is a better way or there is an error in this guide.
Download your combination file from here
Download your new CSC firmware from here
Download Samsung Odin 3.13.1 from here
Download RealTerm from here
1. Open Odin.
Click AP and select your combination file.
Put your Note 9 into download mode by turning it off completely, then holding the volume down and bixby buttons while inserting the usb cable. Confirm that you want to enter download mode.
Click start in Odin.
Once this is complete, your phone should boot into the combination firmware and show your model number. Close Odin.
2. Open RealTerm and go to Port tab.
Set Baud to 230400 and Select Port to ssudmdm0000 or very similar name.
Click the change button.
Go to Send tab.
Enter "AT" and click Send ASCII.
If you get a response like
"+USB READY
BOOTING COMPLETED
AT"
or
"AT"
or
"OK"
or
"BOOTING COMPLETED
AT"
Proceed to the next number.
If you didn't get a response click +CR and send again.
If you get a response like "ERROR" proceed to the next number.
Still if you didn't get a response check your phone status and cable status.
If everything is normal proceed to the next number.
If still you didn't get a response it means your phone or cable is not normal status.
3. Enter "AT+PRECONFG=1,0" and click Send ASCII.
You will get this response.
AT+PRECONFIG=1,0+PRECONFG:1,???
OK
-??? is your current CSC.-
4. Enter "AT+PRECONFG=2,???" and click Send ASCII.
Enter ??? you want to change to another CSC.
You will get this response.
AT+PRECONFG=2,???+PRECONFG:2,OK
OK
-??? is your changed CSC.-
5. Enter "AT+PRECONFG=1,0" and click Send ASCII.
You will get this response.
AT+PRECONFIG=1,0+PRECONFG:1,???
OK
-??? is your changed, current CSC.-
6. CSC change is now complete. You can now close RealTerm.
7. Open Odin again.
Turn your phone off and then put it into download mode again by holding the volume down and Bixby buttons, then plugging the usb cable in.
Fill each field (BL, AP, CP and CSC) with their respective files from the firmware which has the new CSC.
Use the CSC file in the CSC field, not HOME_CSC.
Click start. This will now wipe your phone completely.
8. Your phone should boot into android and everything should be complete!
Enjoy using VoLTE, VoWiFi and RCS!
Many thanks! Will give it a go.

Yeah this is for unrooted devices
Hmm, will this allow my unrooted n960f/ds to flash the TMB CSC and work? Or does this just let you change to another CSC within the multi CSC?

Odin still won't let you flash firmware files from an other phone model. which is a good thing since csc.md5 contains a pit file that is very much phone model specific....you dont want that. home_csc.md5 dosent but regardless Odin should still throw an error. I wouldint be game to test with the prince Comey edition of Odin that allows you to do this forcefully apply wrong model firmware file. might work... or not
how about future OTAs after ? if I flashed TMO csc will I get all TMO OTAs in future ?
@laneyyy i need to select combinations file Odion in AP right ? I guess I have to downgrade my firmware first Odin don't let me flash I have the last one firmware

My phone was up to date before I used the latest combination file for my model on that site. I didn't get any errors about downgrading.
As far as OTAs, I'm not sure yet, but worst case is you just need to flash new firmwares by Odin. I think it's definitely worth the trade off to get volte, vowifi and RCS if that's the case

someone please confirm that N9600 chinese snapdragon variant can have working Volte after changing CSC to any US version.
Why the Heck Samsung put region lock! if they do same thing on S10 then I must say goodbye to Samsung for ever!!
we cant even buy a mobile in a foreign country! ?

Note 9 SM-N960U - Pie Update - No Internet While Calling - No LTE

I recently upgraded my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960U to Android Pie 9.0 - One UI Version: 1.0 - Baseband Version: N960USQS1CSD1 - Build Number: PPR1.180610.011.N960USQs1CSD1 - Security Patch: April 1, 2019 and now i cannot surf the internet while on a call, and don't have LTE as well. I've been searching the web trying to find the resolution.
I will reluctantly downgrade back to Oreo 8.1 if needed and have Odin downloaded but finding all the correct software needed to do so plus the Oreo 8.1 version for my model is a pain as well, and i haven't done this for sometime either.
Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks ahead of time!

arent there any May patches ?(btw june updates should be right around the corner...if not alredy out)
so pretty sure there is. just flash a may or june update.
you can download stock firmware via web sites which can be slow or via frija:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/how-to/tool-frija-samsung-firmware-downloader-t3910584
then extract zip when its finished dling and flash via odin 3.13.1
there is more than enough documentation about all of this in xda,google,YouTube....etc
so all in all try and flash a new firmware instead of an old one.
try resetting ure device also( wipe data) before flashing.

xaa wont have any bloatware(extra crap apps) but might be missing carrier specifics like volte, wificalling and other feature specific to Verizon .
start with VZW and if that works out well then stay on it.
so u should have entered in the app:
SM-N960U
and
VZW
once the big 3 or 4 gig zip is finsied dling, extract it and in odin fill in all corresponding Slots...BL,AP,CP,CSC
for csc use csc.md5 and not home_csc.md5 for best results. but it also might erase all ure data so be sure to backup ure stuff first.
also, ull need samsung android drivers so that odin recognize the phone under a com X device when u plug it in.( odin will show it connected as com and a number.)

edit u can also install samsung smart switch have the drivers auto install and use the software to backup fone. so that might the best case for you

sammobile is very slow.
try updato.com
thers an other utility:
samfirm tool 0.3.6
i needs some dot .net and or vcredist versions to be installed though. i think the log window would state which you need:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Updato is garbage too.
samfrew maybe?
anyways both samfirm tool and frija work fine and fast for me..
Update: Note 9 SM-N960U - Pie Update - No Internet While Calling - No LTE
I figured I'd post a update. I never had luck with Pie period. Been reading VoLTE has been disabled on Pie updates but still available.. I don't have it. So it's either go back to Oreo or find a app that I can access it and enabled it. Either way, thanks for all the comments...

+1 using cho firmware
guys just use samfirm tool 0.3.6 on your PC to check for the update. no need to ask or post if its out or not:
enter as device model:
SM-960N
And Region: dosent really matter but u can choose the carrier that the device is from:
LUC
KOO input this one if unsure
SKC
KTC
or choose the one with the latest fimrware/date code
(but rightnow only May is available)
check regularly as the app seems to connect to samsung servers so it will be the first place for the firmware to pop up.( and download speeds are fast. way faster than sammobile free or other crapy sites.)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...g-firmware-t2988647/post57842725#post57842725
to dl the tool on the post link above , skip the part where it says depreciated and dl it from attached OP post. read up though on the windows ( MS redist) dependencies to run it.
downloaded firmware is flashable once extracted using odin 3.13.3 from here:
https://dl2018.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.13.3.zip
this required to see phone com port with odin
samsung usb drivers:
https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/M...ver-for-Mobile-Phones-1-5-65-0.shtml#download
put phone into download mode:
(make sure your device is off before doing anything.) hold the following button combo: VOLUME DOWN + BIXBY and plug usb cable from PC to phone then release button when you see DL mode and press vol up to accept to enter it.
in odin:
to not reset/wipe data fill in all slots with unziped md5's from file downloaded with samfirm: BL, AP, CP AND CSC (use ONLY these 4 corresponding files*)
(* For csc: home_csc.md5 is to not loose data and regular *csc.md5 will wipe clean.) (userdat.md5 is korean bloat, skip it not needed if you are not on korean sim carrier)
if you are on a custom rom(rooted device) and just want to update bootlaoder and modem to latest, then flash only ;
BL.md5 and CP.md5 in the according slots.
flashing official firmware and components like this dosent trip knox or voids warranty so its all safe.
edited for links to the tools needed and some clarifications.

with root its easy. but without i dont know.
try to install the KOO firmware. i believe it is the "unbranded" firmware for korean n960n devices.
be careful of personal data if you try. using the method described above to flash with odin.( the part when using csc.md5 file because i might wipe data from phone. but it might also remove bootlogo and more bloatware apps from korea)

I tried flash trwp crownite and failed at flashing via odin, i think is not working for now (pie)
This is my buildnumber N960NKSU2CSE3 this for baseband N960NKOU2CSD2 if i download KOO firmware
which one should I choose? Buildnumber or base band?
Btw i got firmware KOO but unziped file i get 6 fil, AP, BL, CP, CSC, HOME CSC, and USER Data how i must input User Data File to?
I'm in Korea too, using an unbranded KOO N960N (exynos). It seems like the update is unavailable in this region. I left a question on the Samsung Members forum, and it seems like they're saying the night sight camera mode had some pretty large bugs, so they have to fix that. Also, the night sight camera update was just released for the S9 series, so hopefully it shouldn't be long before we can get it for the Note 9.

Also, checking the latest firmware for N960N in SAMFIRM results in the same firmware, an outdated May 2019 version withOUT night sight camera. Looks like we will have to await the official release ...
This sucks because my Mate 20 Pro takes absolutely stunning pics at night.

I'm in Korea too, using an unbranded KOO N960N (exynos). It seems like the update is unavailable in this region. I left a question on the Samsung Members forum, and it seems like they're saying the night sight camera mode had some pretty large bugs, so they have to fix that. Also, the night sight camera update was just released for the S9 series, so hopefully it shouldn't be long before we can get it for the Note 9.

all required information was posted in my big post. please read it and follow it correctly to get your answers.
moreover you might need to install samsung android drivers. you can search for them on xda or you can install samsung smart switch. it has the drivers built in. the software is useless it is only being installed for the driver package.

well its the one i posted 6 or 7 messages ago...
just got the update with night mode and july security - n960n.
I am also a N960N user, cheers!
No carrier logo on KOO, but the phones are more expensive. No bloatware whatsoever.
BTW, we just got night mode a day or two ago.
The night mode is still 2 or 3 generations technologywise behind the Mate 20 Pro, Im gonna have to sell my device so if anyone in KR wants to buy it, leave me a PM.
Its in pristine condition with 6 cases

u have to flash a minimum of BL AP CP CSC
there will always be some carrier bloat leftover. the only way is to root and install a custom rom to get rid of everything.

Sim Card Changed Error after flashing new rom.

Hello, recently i've flashed 2 roms on my Note 9 N960F version, everything works fine but when i insert my SIM card in the phone it promotes me with this error " Sim card changed, please restart to start using your new sim card" when i restart, the error pops up again. Iam able to receive calls and everything but cant use the phone since the error doesnt go away. Any help with that ?
The ROM i've flashed is LightRom https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/development/teamexykings-lightrom-t3890084
Thanks in advance <3
Edit : by 2 ROMS i meant 2 different ones, same error pops up on both

try flashing with the latest odin csc_home.md5 corresponding to your sim cards CSC or region.
csc.md5 can also be flashed but might wipe data.

Do you mind telling me where the csc.md5 ? the phone came from UAE but im living in Egypt, do i flash with the csc being the original place where the phone came from ( UAE ) or to egypt where im living ?
EDIT : I just found my phone's CSC from Sammobile.com if i flashed CSC do i have to flash to stock rom or the custom rom will work with that csc ?

just the csc.md5 or home_csc.md5 should work.
you can also download your firmware with sam firm tool 0.3.6 as well. should be much faster.
regarding csc, your sim card is from a carrier(phone company).
carriers have a 3 letter code that identify them. you can use that 3 letter code to search and install the csc file.

So it is ok to just flash csc on a custom rom, right ? if yes, do i flash the csc via odin ?

as always do a full twrp backup 1st.
flash home_csc.md5 = no data wipe
flash csc.md5 = possible data wioe/phone reset
also id take out the sim 1st, flash and make it boot to home screen. then shut down phone insert sim and then power up again.

Alright i'll flash csc.md5 via odin rn with the rom i've listed above and see what happens

[Guide] How to convert s10-g973N to sm-g973f, change csc from skc to koo or any another, fix emergency calls only. No need of paid apps, boxes etc.

**********This is first time am posting a guide so pardon me. *******
********As usual am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.*******
*****Am not claiming ownership of the above technique, its what worked for me*****
I saw many posts here about people struggling to change csc from skc to koo or international***
Others had issue with their phone suddenly lost network and just displays emergency calls only****
so I have s10 sm-g973n which had csc as koo then flashed skc my mistake. The phone booted with annoying skc boot logo, and branded junk from the carrier. Then one morning the phone couldn't connect to gsm network!
I tried all manner of things to fix it. Rooted with magisk, flashed custom rom nothing.
Tried samkey to change csc still nothing. modified odin in flashing multi csc rom nothing.
Got some luck in changing csc by editing efs/imei/mps_code.dat using root explorer, text editor and vola the carrier junk disappeared. But still no network.
was told only way is to use z3x box or chimera to patch certificate but didn't give up. I posted question here in xda but no guide or response.
But that gave me an idea of what could be the issue- corrupt efs that needs the certificate to be patched. so got keyword.
After watching many YouTube videos I came across a video about a rom that has certificate patched. Just flash with odin and done!
I downloaded and followed the instructions. The phone booted up fine and after going through initial setup the network was back!
Not only did the network came back but the model changed to F, csc became oxm! You can now use tools like Samfw from too to change csc to your local region.
Later in the day, will be flashing firmware with my region csc.
Here is the link to the rom:

Thanks for your post. I think before do it we need back up all anything

Yes sim 2 will work. And after completing flash stock rom for security reasons. Because the above rom is rooted and modified we don't know how secure it is. after network certificates are patched now flash a stock rom from eg sammobile or samfw etc.
When i flash this file the storage becomes 64gb
Hey bro have u found any android 12 rom for g973N ???

Did you find a fix for that? For me the internal memory become 32Gb. Is there a solution for that?
I bought an S10 that turned out to be a G973N(SKC) flashed to G973F-D/S(XSG). I think they used this method and these files to do it. I can't get the OEM unlock option to come up. I've tried everything. I am starting to think that it's because of the XSG country code. I was going to try to change it XEU (Great Britain) in SamFW but it just stalls and doesn't do anything. Any suggestions on what I can do here to change the country code? I need that OEM unlock option so I can degoogle it.
Hi guys,
I have I big problem with this rom man, each time I restart my phone i lost network and I have to reflash your rom and factory reset the phone to get it back. It's like it's forbidden to restart the phone, otherwise my network get lost and IMEI Status NG again.. Is there a fix for that? Thank you. Is there a for that fix?
Or do you guys have a rom based on android 12 for g973n u7 converted to dual sim that can solve this IMei STATUS NG? I watched on youtube some guys that have it but it's not free or I can't pay that from here in my cluntry the poorest country in the world.
Thank you guys.
