Probably has credits with TMobile or something that requires them to have to buy from a TMobile store.

You are very wise and knowledgeable.
Thank you for your compassion

Yes I KNOW.
my question was in what site will it show up... if it ever do.
and BTW the 256gb is already available on ebay to be shipped internationaly...but only the single sim
Ah, so we're talking grey market. In that case first will be eBay but which outfits are hard to guess. One of those will likely be reasonably reliable, seems like the international phones didn't get the jump US phones did though, my FD didn't ship until Friday.
Krabman, Where did you get your FD please?

I saw that one but it's missing a couple bands. Looking for the UK Dual SIM as it seems to have all the bands the US does....
Krabman! Is JTBC Legit? Do you have your phone in your hand? Is it an FD? Is there any issue with region lock on the FD?
Thank you!!!!!
I answered your PM but I can get back here if others are interested, phone arrives tomorrow, it shipped on the 9th but lagged in customs for a few days.
Thanks for the info. I ordered one from them as well, but I wasn't able to view the model number. I hope it is an "FD".
I would be curious to see which CSC this phone will have and if you will be able to use Samsung Pay with the US sim card. I have a S8+, supposedly with Taiwanese CSC and can't use SP - it requires a Korean sim card.

Yep, it's FD, both SIMS in and working fine. No, it's not region locked. Yes, it's a carrier phone. No, you are not stuck with useless bloat, it's stock Sammy but downloads a few apps during setup which you can delete. You didn't ask but you'll be glad to know they threw in a US Samsung charger.
I'm not sure if this constitutes taunting or not but I haven't been on Sammy since the Note 7 and I'd forgotten how many features they have salted all over the place. I've been screwing around for hours and still haven't got my setup in yet.
Oh, one other, other thing. I didn't see any way to enable LTE on both SIMS, it seems you can do either one but not both together. Isn't an issue for me but that bugs some people although I don't recall ever having a phone that could.

No Root For N960U and N960U1?

Hi!
I want to ask. And forgive my question. Some possibility of root Note 9 N960U & N960U1?
I know that many here are bothered by these types of questions.

It is not available, and there is a high probability that it never will be available.
For example there is still no root for S9/S9+ in U version.

Thanks for answer. If the USA version It is so complicated to root, then I will buy exynos version. Personally I like the devices that I can have control and rooted.
We are bothered by the questions because it seems like every person creating a new thread asking about it seems like they will get a different answer if they create their own thread about it.

I asked because I have not seen a thread with that question. But, my apologies if they bother here to.
In my case, and where I work, it has never bothered me that they ask me the same thing, because I like to help people.
Thanks!
As far as I now, S9 and S9+ snapdragon versions are still not rooted.
There is at least 1 guy searching for root but so far, no progress.
So, maybe s845 Note 9 will get root someday but don't have high hopes about that and if root really matter to you, I will advise you to buy another phone.
I strongly advise buying the exynos version now, or buying another device if updates and such will be a big deal. I had the same concerns, this is my first unrooted Android device I am considering purchasing, and I have to make the decision based on what is most probable, root not being an option. Otherwise, you'll be pissed the entire time you have the device that you let yourself fall into the hope trap.

I will wait few months, as it happened with note 8, that a root for the snapdragon came out, if the root does not come out with note 9 snapdragon, I follow your advice and buy the version with Exynos. Thanks! ?
I do not know, but with so much developer here in XDA and other forums; there must be some way to unlock the bootloader. Or is have to pay for it, or beg of carrier companies??

I asked the OP of that thread a month ago and he confirmed that that root method can not be done on the S9, S9+ or NOTE9, which means that the device will most likely never be rooted, unless Samsung suddenly, randomly, allows for the bootloader to be unlocked.
I upgraded to the Snapdragon Note9 anyway though myself. I found that I didn't really miss root all that much on my Note8 and didn't want my battery on my new phone to only charge to 80% by using SamFAIL, so I just got the non-carrier branded one this time to cut down on some of the bloat. I could've went Exynos, but in the past I'd mainly only used root to put other roms on the device and maybe clear out some space, but the Note9 comes with 128gb internal minimum with the potential of an up to 512gb sd card, which is plenty of space for me to just disable a few apps. Most of the roms too most often didn't have the air command features for the spen(or most of the other functionality that Samsung devices are supposed to have) and the pen is why I buy the Notes in the first place. The ones that did try and incorporate those features(including the Touchwiz roms) always still had other problems too, so I most often found myself going back to stock anyway.
Frankly, it's just been nice having a device where Samsung Pay and everything else just works. I've had the unrootable Snapdragon Note9 for a month now and I love it. It has tons of features that the Note8 didn't have, like an spen that works as a wireless bluetooth remote for your camera, music and other apps, as well as more space, a better battery and more. That's just my take though.

Not so much bothered by questions (even if they have been asked 100 times over like this one lol) more so people refuse to use the search function.
If you had of done so you wouldn't have needed to even ask.
Dont be afraid to try and help yourself sometimes, its not that painful.
But yeah as the guys said....never going to happen
I took the advice of several users of the forum, I bought the note version exynos. And I did not break the my Head, Waiting for someone to get Root the Note 9 USA Version
The other note 9 I want to sell it by ebay or by Swppa.

The USA version is never going to see root.

Carrier companies do not have control over bootloader locks. I have tried going through them in the past about this and they have no clue what you are talking about unless you get lucky and get a person that knows about root and even if that does happen they can't and won't help you with it. It has to be done by manufacturers.

Have you considered the N9600, international version? It has the SD845 processor (like the U and U1) and root/TWRP are already available. Knox gets tripped, of course, but that only negates Samsung Pay and a couple others.
Just having a little trouble locating units for sale (at good prices) here on mainland US.
Forgetting N960U and N960U1! I bought N960N!! And my problem resolved! Finally I got root!! ?

Just to figure out my info on versions is correct... I thought N9600 (with Snapdragon) is the Hong Kong version (i.e. not "international" or "global"), and N960F (with Exynos) is for "global"/europe (although it seems to have different band lists for UK). (I'm not considering rootability etc., just the target market / naming.)

So the 960F model has different radio / bands for UK market compared to the 960F sold in mainland Europe? I doubt it.

Personally, I have no idea. I read it on this page: https://www.techwalls.com/samsung-galaxy-note-9-sm-n960-model-number-differences/
I found another list (much shorter one) that does not have separate entry for UK. Maybe the longer list simply lists bands that are active in the region (e.g. if there are bands in use in UK that aren't used elsewhere in europe even if the phone would support them).
Not relevant to this topic (rooting U/U1), though, I just noted it for the peculiarity of seeing that difference for the same model code.

Personally how I verify bands used it to go to samsungs website for that country to check specs for a particular model number.

You can find the device on Amazon and on foreign websites. There is no U.S. warranty. You can perhaps pay for out of pocket repairs, but my understanding is that it is difficult to find state-side repair shops that will touch it.

I am considering picking up a SM-N960F/DS Samsung Galaxy Note 9, installing LineageOS 17.1 with MicroG and use with T-Mobile in the US. I have read that certain T-Mobile Services don't work out of the box, however, I have also read of a TMO Detonator configuration that can be installed which restores those missing features. Did you use TMO Detonator? If so, did TMO Detonator fix all the T-Mobile compatibility issues? If not, which features are still missing? Does Carrier Aggregation work? If not, what LTE Data speeds are possible? Are you happy with the SM-N960F/DS Note 9 experience on T-Mobile? Is there any site that still hosts the TMO Detonator File/Package and Instructions? Any other thoughts or advice? Thanks again for your time.
No, I never installed anything extra. CA did not work, but speeds were still decent.

Help Please ! which one to buy ? N9600 or N960U or N960U1

Hi guys i am new to this forum. Have downloaded roms and kernels before but never actually asked a question.
Any ways i tried finding an answer and i have seen alot of guys talking about the snap dragon on the note 9 not root able but i would like to know if any one actually knows any major differences between the N9600, N960U and N960U1 before i go and buy one and then realize WTF did i do.
I live in Canada and all N9600, N960U and N960U1 are compatable with the network that i am trying to use them for.
i do know that N9600 is for china or international market (correct me if i am wrong) and the N960U and N9601 are for US market only.
i was looking at on custom firmware thread where they were talking about the wifi calling feature and some other features that dont work and they were trying to install N960U1 custom firmware.
I also saw in 1 forum where someone from the US bought the N9600 and was not able to set the phone to us time or somehing like that or use samsung pay because the phone would show his location in china.
So please help me i would really appreciate it. it is a very expansive phone and i want to be sure.
Thanks in advance.
Depends. What do you want to do with the phone?
I have the N9600 and it works excellent on T Mobile. Also is the only Snapdragon model that has root. I also flashed mods to get all the features of the carrier version. Seems also faster without all the bloatware. I am running a custom rom as well.

For daily use. i am the kind of person who buys new phone and keeps his phone till it breaks and fixing it is not worth it.
Rite now i am using a Note Edge N915T. Bought it brand new from ebay unlocked but was from T mobile. my screen is cracked and to replace it, its arround 200 - 250 CAD (digitizer, screen and frame). so who not put that money towards a new phone. Also its very slow now.
Sorry for that long drawn story. I dont think i will be ever rooting the note 9 but if i would need to, i might.

Then getting a N960U or N960U1 is probably your best bet if you don't plan on rooting. In my opinion, rooting isn't needed anymore. You can adblock and disable apps without it. And with the N960U or U1, everything will work with no fuss, inlcuding Samsung Pay.
If you have to have root, then you'll need the N9600 or N960F. But once you u lock the bootloader, you trip Knox PERMANENTLY and lose Samsung Pay, Samsung Pass, Secure Folder PERMANENTLY. NOT reversible. Even if you don't unlock the Bootloader, you probably won't get Samsung Pay to work in the US, since it's region locked. Some people have got it to work, but jumped through hoops.

No. All Note 9s from T-Mobile are N960U.
