Greeting
I am looking if the N960N NOTE 9 Korean version does support the DUOS, I have a Samsung note 9 which is ( second hand ) definitely support 2 sims, it is written on the back cover DUOS, and the sim card tray is showing sim 1 and sim2 written on it , also the device back shows 2 IEMI but same numbers, when I got the phone I noticed that it is rooted ( which I don't like), so flashed it with oden to original stock firmware, but got problem that the Korean version of the software is not showing nither the sim manager or 2 sims IMEI numbers like before , now I am looking for a software (stock) which may bring the 2nd sim card slot back, any suggestion or numbers or versions ?
the version I used until now:-
1- N960NKSU3CSI2_N960NOKR3CSI2_KOO
2-N960NKSU3CSJ1_N960NOKR3CSJ1_KOO

I know for a fact that N960N is a Single SIM device and does not possess a 2ndary SIM slot. As I have one.

süre, you go to DR KATAN procedure fır detailed one , but will go quickly with this :-
unlock OEM on developer option ( this is the hardest part as long as it wont just appears when you go developments,
then you go download the patched oden version ,
then you boot download mode and flash the TWRP recovery file , you need to press vol up and baxby and power when pressing start on odin , after that you will be in the recovery mode and able to flash the Dr Katan rom , you will see 2nd sim working in his rom

hello brother i'm having same issue with my note 9 N960N as u mention ealeir can u share the detail and rom with me please
hello there ,
I cannot post link due to reputation, but i will guide you to the right way , in google search for dr ketan rom n960 note 9 , then you there download the rom file and put keep in computer , then go To developers option and unlock OEM , then get The Patched version of oden and follow these steps :-
1- download TERP recovery file from official site for the note 9 latest version
2-open oden and choose the recovery file you downloaded as AP file
3- power off the phone , hardly press power button + volume down and connect the cable from computer to the phone , the phone will boot to download mode.
4-press power + volume up together , and press start , wait until your phone will boot to recovery mode , after that you need to WIPE EVERYTHING OFF FROM YOUR PHONE , i will suggest you keep copy of phone with smart switch.
5- from here you can flash the rom you downloaded before by copy it to phone via cable and flash it as any other rom
NOTE THAT THIS MAY DAMAGE YOUR PHONE AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE OF THAT , YOU DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK....
after phone boots you will be able to use your 2nd sim
Happy flashing

Hi
The N950F/DS as much as I can make out is very similar to SM-N950F/FD/N except for dual sim.
Can you install SM-N950F/FD/N listed roms like say Ironman?
Just pre-planning as will want rom support.
Thanks

As far as I know the N950F/DS is also known as N950FD. This is the same model, just written differently. Now this model is just like the N950F, except it has dual SIM. When I bought the N950FD, I checked the settings menu and it actually says N950F (but again, it has a tray for 2 SIMs, or 1 SIM + 1 SD card). To my knowledge, software for these at least should all be interchangeable. In other words, there is no N950FD or F/DS firmware, just F firmware. The N950N is indeed a different model, so I'll let someone else speak to that one

Ok, two more questions...
Did you use 'csc' or 'home_csc' in Odin?
And have you tried to factory reset since flashing stock again?

I am not 100% sure. I suggest asking in the thread of the rom.
Personally, if you have the DS version I would only flash that rom if it has DS in the title, which I don't think Ironman Rom has. (ALEXNDR Rom for example has)
A guy above it seems had the DS version, flashed a rom, I suspect to be one with does not state DS, which has now made it single sim, which I can't help him with..
Yet again, I could be wrong.

Ok, so you used CSC along with the BL, CP, and AP files, right? That should have wiped your phone and put everything back to stock, but if still not working maybe try a factory reset at this point (backup first of course ).

I try but not work. some apps says: the displayed model is not correct SM-n950F
well i try repair phone on z3x box
Unfortunately here in australia the telcos have blocked dual sim capabilities for this phone as well as blocking us from purchasing unlocked dual SIM devices from samsung themselves under a contract. i however heard from 3 seperate samsung reps that it is a CSC issue which can be resolved by rooting and removing the given telco CSC (in this case optus) and replacing it with an unlocked version. is this correct or does there need to be 2 device IMEI on the phone for dual sim to work??
I've downloaded the XSA firmware for us Aussies and will be uploading it to MEGA soon. But can any one tell me wether it's simply a CSC ISSUE or will I just have to live with single SIM??

I don't think changing your CSC to XSA requires a root. But yet to to find a working solution myself. I tried flashing the XSA stock firmware, but it doesn't change the CSC from OPS to XSA. I'll try flashing another country firmware and move it back to XSA and see if this changes the CSC to XSA.
Apparently you need to put a different SIM in for 5 mins to make it unbranded I'll be trying DR.Ketans rom and see what the difference is than maybe I can get it to work. We still need a dual SIM tray also

Ah cool. I'll try that later tonight if i have time. True that we will need the hybrid sim tray. I wonder if we can get a hybrid sim tray from Samsung to keep the waterproofing intact. Bit worried with the quality of the aftermarket products in relation to the waterproofing of the phone.
I found this thread about changing CSC for Note 8.

But everytime I flashed the combination file, ODIN stucked at odm.img.
Let me know how you go.

Hi there,
I actually downloaded the combination rom for note 9 from gem-flash.com. For some reason when I flashed the AP and Home_csc, it always stuck at odm. Tried this several times.
Not sure where I went wrong.
I'll try flashing to another country ROM and then follow the steps on your original thread and flash using the combination rom for Note 9. All i want is to change the CSC from Optus to XSA.

tried to flash AP only and it worked. however, on the factory IMEI, *#243203855# doesn't give me the list of the csc. When I tried to flash the AP and home_csc or csc it always stuck in odm.img. Not sure what's happening.
Did you guys get this working at all? I'm in the same boat with a telco note 9, either going to return it and buy one outright or try get it working. i ordered an additional tray with the hybrid sim slot.
where have you found the various stock australian roms?

Sammobile.com...
Has all the latest Stock ROMs for all regions...
Thankfully I bought from Samsung (pre-order)... Came with Hybrid Sim card holder and 2 IMEI's though I have yet to try...
Cool. I'll give it a go now that I have it and if the new sim tray and flashed stock rpm doesn't work Telstra can stick it and I'll get from Samsung too...
What i've done so far:
Got a hybrid sim tray. Doesn't reject the second sim.
Flashed with odin and the stock XSA rom. Didn't work.
Flashed with Dr Ketan using TWRP. Doesn't work.
Tried to enable the sim manager setting using package disabler. Enables it but no way to access the settings.
Used a shortcut app to try to access the sim manager setting but crashed out.
About to try a different rom...
It seems to be software related only.
If there was a way to access the sim manager setting/software...
Where did you get the hybrid sim tray?
I'd assume the lack of an imei for the second sim would be the issue

Looks the firmware is same for OPS/TEL/VAU and public version.
I believe the logic should be same as Note 8, it's controlled by EFS not only CSC number, you also cannot change the HOME CSC.
So you have to decrypt the EFS, write the second IMEI, then you will have the dual SIM function.

You still cannot connect to network even you can open the sim manager app.
You don't have the second IMEI which is required for network.
The rom is same for Australia and New Zeland, you won't able to change your CSC if you just flash the rom in ODIN.
You have to use combination rom to change your CSC, but I don't think you can change your HOME CSC, you only can your normal CSC.
Dual sim function is not controlled by CSC if the logic is same as NOTE8.
OK, been a little while coming but I FINALLY got around to testing my Samsung bought XSA Note 9 for dual sim cards.
Both sim cards work fine, Just means my sd card is now floating around out of the phone and my backup phone has no sim...
Made and received calls off both sim cards.
So, the dual sim Note 9 bought directly from Samsung Australia with the XSA firmware CAN use both sim cards. It does have 2 different IMEI numbers and both work...
Glad I got the Samsung phone over the Telco distributed phone as it seems they have actually crippled one of the primary features of this awesome device...
Cheers...

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.

Hi all,
I'm coming into a such weird situation and I'll try to mention all the aspects.
I bought my note 9 a week ago from an online store (noon.com in UAE).
Seems like the phone is korean variant. Here's what is weird:
1- Model no. : SM-N960FD
2- model no. In the software (settings): SM-N960F/DS
3- phone's back at the very bottom (small text) reads: *N950F*
4- the phone was sealed and had samsung sticker which states it has never been opened before.
5- I came to realize that the spen has no bluetooth as there has been connectivity issue forever.
6- as i opened the hotspot, the device name is "DrKetanRom_5e10" which is a custom rom i believe.
7- I can't fine phone update section in settings.
8- The device is rooted when using root checker app.
9- phone status is custom.
10- SE for android status mentions DrKetan as well.
11- the camera lens has variable aperture which proves it's a note 9
12- knox status is 0x0!.
I am very confused! The phone seems totally new and is scratchless all around. I don't know if maybe Korean or chinese version phone comes with no android basic stuff as other shipped phones so Samsung re-installed the software or somethinhg?
If any body can help, that would be highly appreciated!!
Thanks.
Anyone?

If you go to bootloader mode you will see that it is n960n, not n960f.
I think these are SKTelecom phones from Korea.
they are original phones but have been refurbished or I don't know the exact term but they are repurposed to be sold like n960f - ds phones.
I also have a similar phone but I got all things intact no issues, I am actually running Dr. Ketan Q rom.
Only My Download mode shows some Korean stuff and I'm used to it from my note 4 days. I had an n910s
Just put your IMEI number on https://www.imei.info/ and it will show your phone details.
I also believe there are certain apps on play store that gives out device info.
All the best, since its already rooted just, go nuts with a badass custom ROM already.
Samsung Phone Information app from playstore has a refurbishment check. And yes it has been rooted with custom rom.

@vishnu vijay
You are definitely correct, the model number in bootloader mode shows n960n! And download mode shows "download mode" in korean.
So can i just flash the stock rom of sm-n960f/ds and recieve the android Q whenever sasung releases it for the note 9? Or I'm already stuck now?
Also i coming from a note 3, so i have no ideas what are some popular roms for the note 9, also I don't want to loose spen functionality, so can you recommend a rom to install that is stable and saves battery?
Thanks alot for your help!

I would recommend that you install the N960N OS back onto it. As the N960N is a single SIM device. I don't know what will happen if you install a the dual SIM variant's OS onto it.

SM-N960F firmware is the same used for SM-N960F/DS. He should flash the Original firmware meant for the phone. SM-N960N.
Also, if his IMEI that pops up when dialing *#06# matches what is on the back of the phone, then he can flash the SM-N960F firmware.
Actually my phone is dual sim, and sm-n960n is a dual sim firmware.
IMEI is consistent in everywhere, with the box, with the back of the phone, when checking it on the internet.
I know that samsung will not support the note 9 after android Q upgrade, so shall i install a custom rom instead? If yes which one shall i install?
Is there a need - as of now- to install a custom rom, or the stock rom is fine (battery and performance wise)?
Or shall i go for stock android experience (project treble) to enjoy maximum performance?
What do you think?
Sorry for annoyance !
if you dont want it i might trade u for a brand new tmobile branded note 9. but u probably dont want it. (long shot)
im currently looking into what i can do with it if anyone knows feel free im also utilizing att but phone is tmo with device lock app untouched as of right now. . (needing leads)
jus wanted to get in on this thread so i can follow progress
It is probably a real phone but with the software modified.
Just flash the boot loader for n960n from Odin and the Twrp recovery then flash any rom that supports n960n ds or f rom. It works. I've tried ambasadi rom, the galaxy project and dr ketan. All worked for me. Just backup using TWRP and read all dev recommended steps before you flash anything. Or if you prefer stock there was a particular thread I think. All the best.

Hi all,
I'm coming into a such weird situation and I'll try to mention all the aspects.
I bought my note 9 a week ago from an online store (noon.com in UAE).
Seems like the phone is korean variant. Here's what is weird:
1- Model no. : SM-N960FD
2- model no. In the software (settings): SM-N960F/DS
3- phone's back at the very bottom (small text) reads: *N950F*
4- the phone was sealed and had samsung sticker which states it has never been opened before.
5- I came to realize that the spen has no bluetooth as there has been connectivity issue forever.
6- as i opened the hotspot, the device name is "DrKetanRom_5e10" which is a custom rom i believe.
7- I can't fine phone update section in settings.
8- The device is rooted when using root checker app.
9- phone status is custom.
10- SE for android status mentions DrKetan as well.
11- the camera lens has variable aperture which proves it's a note 9
12- knox status is 0x0!.
I am very confused! The phone seems totally new and is scratchless all around. I don't know if maybe Korean or chinese version phone comes with no android basic stuff as other shipped phones so Samsung re-installed the software or somethinhg?
If any body can help, that would be highly appreciated!!
Thanks.

Hello guys
1:- I bought a used note 9 8gb varient. At the time of purchase it was on super stable ROM Android 9 and was working fine (sim was working)
2:- I tried to go back to stock. Downloaded the firmware from Sammobile for N960F. When I tried to flash it using Odin there would be some error, (like secure check fail :
pit file)
Tried it many times. During that I checked the option of nande errase
3:- every thing was erased but It would still not accept Firmware for n960f. At that point I tried to install different custom Roms like Alexis and Dr ketan using twrp but it would not accept it
4:- In download mode the download was written in Korean so I downloaded the firmware from Sam mobile for n960n (Korean) and it was flashed with out any problem
5:- Every thing besides SIM was working on that. So after that I tried Dr ketan's Rom and Super Stable ROM but same problem
Please watch these pictures to understand the issue

(Pless enter https:// before the drive link, I am a new user so I could not add link directly to the post)
Now at this point it is on Dr ketan's ROM. It is showing 2 IMEI's( I have check both are valid). In settings it shows Mode N960F but in download mode it says N960N.... The base band (CP file) is Korean... I does not accept N60F firmware( secure check fail : Pit file) comes up. Even tried to flash only CP file of N960F but (Radio error) comes up
PS: I am in Pakistan trying to run it on Pakistani network
Please if any one can help me.. THANKS

This is original N960N device modded by custom rom to be N960F also add 2nd IMEI to be dual version of N960F, all of this will stop working once U flash the OEM firmware so you will need to edit kernel and repair mipi to get network again cause modded IMEI can't work with OEM FW
