Hi there, I need help.
I tried to flash the stock firmware but I got this message on my phone.can not do anything
I was on dr.ketan P13 trying to flash the stock firmware.
My device was UNITED ARAB EMIRATES(XSG) now is:
UNITED KINGDOM /IRELAND (XEU) since I flashed P13.
SW REV CHECK FAIL(BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 2
After flashing Dr ketan's bootloader device booted well, but CSC country changed.
Any ideas how to go back to my original CSC Country.?
I will appreciate your help

use your last valid twrp backup from before the issue to restore:
carrier configs (odm)
efs
also when you flash full stock, use csc.md5 and not home_csc.md5 as CSC file.
it migh be good to research what the very latest firmware files are for your device. there should be a july update somewhere. so use that and try again.
if you want and try to fix ure csc issue try to flash zip in:

beware that you flash this at tour own free will and i cant be held responsible for anything.
do a full backup first.
in aroma choose DBT and choose ure correct CSC code.

ure flashing older firmware rev 2 on a bootloader revision 3 firmware phone.
u cant downgrade to 2 or 1. u have to flash 3 and up firmware.
u can search and read all about it if u take the time.
So after a bit of research it looks like it is not possible to flash stock att firmware to the n-960n. Does this sound right. I'm leaving Korea and will be going back to att when I get home.

Not officially, no. However I don't think samsung pay will work in the US on a Korean Note9 anyway, so if you unlock the bootloader and root you can flash a CSC changer to get all of the ATNT features (including voLTE/voWIFI). You will void your warranty and lose knox/Samsung Pay.

you can't flash snapdragon firmware on a exynos device. but regardless, just pop the sim and be happy. no need to change CSC for voice and data.
but if you do root as the suggested then you can get the additional csc features by flashing a csc pack.

Exactly which CSC pack can I use and where do I get it?
I am in the exact same situation: Korean SM-G960N, rooted, on AT&T's network with Android 9.
Do I extract the CSC from the latest SM-G960U1 file and flash that with Odin? Can I use an Android 10 CSC on an Android 9 phone?

Are you looking for AT&T specifically? Cause from what I know they don't release them. I used N960U since the 1 is the unlocked version software. Sorry I can't be much help beyond what I know of AT&T files. Best of luck.

Thanks for the respopnse. Well the link from SamMobile has the CSC in it. I tried to flash the HOME_CSC file via Odin and the Odin PrinceComsy version (I don't think this works on Android 8) and it would not flash.

Hi,
After an upgrade to Android 10 I am really disappointed at its performance and decided to go back to 9.
I have an officially unlocked G973U1, but am really confused what CSC should I use for flash.
I guess it should be XAA. Is there any risk in using a different CSC for flashing? I noticed another few for unlocked, like USC, XAS...
Also, what firmware version should I use? There's BSIA, BSIP, BSKA, etc.. Is there one that's safer than others?
I hope to keep my data so I might use HOME_CSC. But is it gonna work since this is a downgrade.
Thanks.
I don't think u can downgrade

USC is not unlocked.. its for US Cellular and no it doesnt matter since its multi-csc they should all have all the csc then it changes based on sim
and as advised ur bl is locked so u cant downgrade.. u also cannot use any other csc except ones made for U U1 or W variants other variants csc i.e can only use firm for stock combo
Hi, i have korean unlocked note 9 witn SM-N960N code. I wanted to flash sm-n960f netherlands stock rom but i bricked(subject is not this) the my phone. which sm-n960f country should i choose ? austuria ? uk ? germany ? greece ? which one will work properly ?
You can ONLY flash the firmware with SAME model number.
Btw, wasn't G960N this model number belongs to S9?

flashing through odin n960f firmware to n960n its not possible my friend, the only way to do so is to root your phone and then flash a custom rom, in your case android pie with custom csc to your country, i have the same model and tried this and it worked, it doesnt work in android 10 because samsung/google made some changes in csc, soo i guess we will have to wait until we find a solution for andorid 10/on ui 2.
this is the link to csc selector for changing to your country if you root your phone:
csc selector
It does not matter. I found solutions
1) combination file way
2) custom rom, root, csc selector (i use that one now)

Hello.. I have the same problem. I bought an unlocked SM-N960N phone that was still in Android 9. Somehow the seller was able to put in a SM-N960F rom in it. I have tried flashing the latest Android 10 but I'm getting stuck with a "SECURE CHECK FAIL: (BOOTLOADER)" error and now I have bricked device.
Can you share the steps and what to download?

Maybe it was a custom rom. Afaik no way to flash n960f fw into n960n.
Just flash n960n fw.

yep, probably custom rom with named 960f. not imposibble but requires very effort for 960f to 960n...
if you buy from second hand, i mean used phone like me. i suggest stop trying official roms. if you are sure that your note 9 %100 original. you can find phone infos from download mode. i prefer using custom roms with used note 9. i suggest it you too. i wrote my solution already:

It seems to be custom ROM indeed. I figured out what stock ROM to use through my IMEI number. Flashed it and I'm now typing this from my Note 9.
It doesn't seem that my phone is rooted yet but the OEM is already unlocked.
Where can I get a combination file? My device is in the KTC csc.
I'm also not familiar with using combination files, can you point me to a guide?

Looks like the Dr. Ketan ROM will retain the features I'm concerned about on a custom ROM (i.e. DeX, Samsung Health, Dual SIM). I'll try it out some other time.

Hey just wanted to understand if this affects warranty. Also if you can post step by step guide on how to do this with samkey?
For people who can't switch between csc in the same mult csc pack. OXM multi csc pack contains all the european generic and network branded firmware (csc) so if You are at MEO (part of OXM multi pack), and flash it with TPH (part of OXM multi pack) the MEO will stay. What you need to do is to flash it with different multi csc pack (just see what packs are available for your model), try to flash Brazil csc ZTO, it's part of multi pack OWO. then flash it back with OXM multi pack, and it should switch to some generic csc, then if you instert your sim card it should ask you if you want to customize your phone to the inserted sim card and it will change your csc to the one you want.
Hello.
In my own case, I bought the SM-G998B from Korea, which is KOO/KOO/KOO, and I live in Africa. I won't mind being able to flash on OXM or any other multi-csc firmware, just so long as I can use my sim card here.
All I'm getting right now is limited service, and the option to select network operators is completely missing from my phone.
my s21U original comes with XSP CSC and firmware.. i have tried flashing to XME the flashing is ok and everything except that under software provider it still shows XSP... will it affect me receiving ota from XME?
