if anyone can help i will really appreciate your help
big thanx

how to downgrade bootloader of A320FL please help

1. Incorrect place to ask
2. WHY DO YOU GIVE US YOUR IMEI XDDD. Now you are literally in danger if a hacker want to do something illegal with your IMEI.
3. You can't downgrade from Android 8 to Android 6.

1st. flash stock firmware for a320fl DUAL SIM
2nd. boot your phone, enable oem unlock
3rd. back to odin, flash stock 7.0 firmware *Choose the correct file
4th. enjoy your dual sim

This guy is silly of something he hasn't deleted the IMEI xDDDDD

SM-N960N Dual Sim

Hi guys
I want to switch my phone note 9 n960n to read two sim

You have to get your phone rooted first with twrp.
Then you must have z3x Samsung tool pro box
You can clone your main imei to 2 imei
Then flash dr keten rom that supports dual sim patch in aroma installer.
And you must buy sim tray for dual sim because the single sim phone only you can insert 1 sim and 1 memory card the second sim will not insert.
And also Cloning imei is not easy my friend you must have knowledge to use z3x tool otherwise you may brick the phone because you have to edit some files in EFS partition.
Dont try crack version z3x they will not work.
I am assuming you have a refurbished N960N that came with dual sim and you did flashed stock firmware to upgrade.
Because N960N originally never came with dual sim.
Some chinese refurbishing companies they clone the imei+they change back glass to duos model+they flash dual sim patched software. Because dual sim has more value in asian market.
So if this is the case all you have to do is flash twrp and flash dr keten rom and choose dual sim patch during aroma installer.
You will get back your both imei and dual sim suoport back as you bought.
On stock n960n firmware dual sim will never work.
Hope thus will help

For my information, my device was working in two dual sims, I updated via odin So he became single sim

Yes Because originally your phone is single sim
Someone clone the imei and convert it to dual sim via software.
You have to use dr keten rom if you want to use dual sim.
On stock firmware it will work as single sim.

Thanks

Hi, can someone share the dr ketan file for the dual sim?

@Trex888
I have an N960N with 2 Imeis and dual sim support( bought from a chinese friend, wasn't cheated) . I believe it has dr.ketan(Android 9) rom pre-installed with stock recovery( check Screenshot). I have seen your previous replies on how to get 2 imei and dual sim support using Dr.Ketans rom , but do you think this will work if I update to Android 10 stock(which is required) from Android 9 and then Flash latest Dr.ketan rom that's based on Android 10. I know there's a whole thread where I can ask questions but Dr.ketan is not available at the moment with the current situation going around the globe.

You could upgrade the bootloader and modem to android 10. The instruction is in the first page of Dr.ketan's thread.
Then flash Dr.ketan's latest rom.
However I'm not sure if flashing bootloader and modem will retain your second sim or not.
For sure if you flash stock rom, it will not work anymore.

Hey! thanks for your support. Yes i have seen those instructions, but i am afraid to take the risk, as when i went through the thread searching for imei related issues there have been many asking similar question but no solutions for now. Do inform me if you find a solution, as there are many of us who want to update to Android 10 without losing dual sim functionality on N960N. THANKS.:good:
Edit: And yeah i have Z3X box with me but i dont know how to use it.

It's good to flash stock rom first while updating from Pie to Q, but there's one more way to do it if you don't want to flash the whole stock rom. You can find full instructions by searching on Dr.Ketans rom thread. You just need to download his rom , stock BL & CP files that he has provided in N960N download section. Sorry for late reply

Do I have to root the note 9 to use dual sim on it?
It is originally N960N

I changed my note8 for note9 sm-n960n, the sim cartridge was duos but the same imei for both sim cards, the download sreen was in Korean language and few apps was Korean to, it works in both sims, i don't know if it was rooted, anyway i'm used to flash my own room choice, the Dr.keaton and super-stable rom work duos sim, but the Dev-base is single sim support. much as I have encountered any issue is the one, I cannot establish s-pen connection with Bluetooth other than using as typical stylus.

I bought a phone like that recently (N960F/DS). I never checked it well when i bought it because it was sealed, so i thought all was good. When i got home i found out it was already rooted (surprise!!) and that it was originally N960N converted to N960F/DS. Now I wonder if the process can be reversed because i want to remove the root and update it to android 10 (it is still in 9). Please anyone knows how to reverse the conversion?
If I flashed N960N firmwares will that work or will it brick the phone?

My reply is coming in a bit late, I don't know whether you still need the answer - but yes, you can easily reverse the process by simply flashing original N960N firmware. I have done it myself in a similar constellation to yours. If your phone ends up bricked, it won't be because of this flashing per se.
Allow me to ask you a question - how did you confirm that your phone was originally N960N as you say?

Software update option is not available

Hi,
I bought my device from Dubai, im using it on India. Now it is running Android 9 with OneUI 1.0. When tried to update software I can not see the update option in the setting list.
The model no mentioned in About phone is SM-N960F/DS
Current Build no. PPR1.180610.011.N960FXXU2ZRLR
Baseband N690NKOU3ASG1
Security patch January 1,2019
Also I can see netflix is not showing in the playstore and Magisk manager is pre installed.
My question is, if flash the latest android 10 firmware from sammobile using odin 3 , Does it will work indian sim? and is there anything I need to do to update the latest software.

The box still had the retail seals on it? Then your device maybe brand new. In which case I would return it to the retailer and ask for a replacement.

I cannot return beacuse , i bought it from Dubai and i am in India. Thats why opted for firmware updation.

Did flashing the stock firmware help ?

FOUND the answer
I HAVE found the source, i have a phone with same exact situation as the person who started this thread and i did some investigating and i found out my model is actually the korean variant of the note 9 single sim converted to duos variant F model with dual sim tray installed, meaning if you go to download mode you will be greeted by Korean and once you press volume up, you can see in the top left that its actually SM-N960N variant, but if you check the imei in the phone it will say its the F variant meaning imei have also been changed.
So if you flash stock rom you will lose dual sim status and probably enjoy korean language on the welcome page on loading up the phone and might even lose 4g 3g connectivity cause korean 4g/3g bands are different compared to india.

This is a risky procedure, we may loose our imei numbers or lose 4g connectivity, so for now ill stick with this rom, flashing the stock firmware and then upgrading to android 10 and redoing the entire conversion again from an N variant to an F/DS variant might be an option but that requires tools and skill, that is not easy.

No, you won't as the Korean N960N is essentially the same as the N960F (single SIM model). They are both GSM devices and will run on any global GSM Cell network. I have a N960N and I am using it on a Hong Kong Cell network and I get excellent coverage.
Also you can change the language during the Setup process, I believe it is on the bottom of the screen. I can't remember as it has been a while since I setup a Note 9.

Issue being we might loose our changed imeis if we flash stock firmware because the current imeis are not the original imei for the N variant but show up as F variant instead.

Hello, I have the exact same problem as the two of you above.
My question is have you found a way of updating to android 10?
Did you unroot the device or is the device still rooted?
If yes, how did you do it?
And is the device functioning properly?

I have this exact problem too. Is there any solution. Cos this OS I'm using is frustrating me

What options do we have in order to update to a later version? Is it possible to flash a stock ROM downloaded using Bifrost, and will that have any impact on the IMEIs and serial number? Can Knox be 'untripped' or the phone unrooted?

Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960N Flash Indian firmware

hi,
Somehow my Galaxy note 9 i purchased form Dubai is showing SM-N960F/DS in the software information, but actually the device is SM-N960N model with single sim which is a Korean model. The seller actually made a software customization to work the dual sim and the device is also rooted.I can not see any software update options on the settings list. I have tried to install the Indian firmware using Odin, but nothing works.
So is there any solutions to change the firmware to Indian??

I would recommend that you install the stock N960N OS back onto your device. You can change the language interface to Indian, during the setup process after you installed the OS
