Hey Guys, I got an n950u unlocked device and I need dual sim function. I was wondering if it is possible to flash n9500 (dual sim variant for HK) on n950u since the hardware for both devices is identical.
I assume most of you know that those with n950n (Korean single sim variant) have been able to flash global dual sim (n950fd) rom on their devices since both devices have identical hardware.
If the problem would be with ODIN, can I use prince Comsy's ODIN to flash such a rom?
If there is any other way to get dual sim working on n950u please share your suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
In theory you should have no problem installing the OS from the N9500 onto the N950U. However I believe the N950U has a different LTE modem, which uses different LTE bands from what is being used in the N9500.

Thanks for your reply. I did think just as you do, but when I tried to flash n9500 firmware on my n950 Odin stopped with an error and not succeeded and on the phone screen an error showed up in red saying SECURE CHECK FAILED. I also used patched odin from prince comsy and 3b but non worked for me. I assume that the issue is that n950 comes with locked bootloader while n9500 has unlocked bootloader. If you can suggest me any other ways I would appreciate that.

HI, i had this version and i didn't find any data related to it like firmware , i noticed that everything run smoothly and mobile run the latest update (your system is up to date ) lollipop and model n920f was written on the back although of that when i tried to use Samsung info apk it showed that phone made in Korea and it was Verizon version n 920v so i figured out that phone was a Verizon version and was moved to china to be unlocked and back was replaced also so, am i right ? and if i am right , can i download Verizon marshmallow update without problems.
I thought the f was an international version which hadn't been released. Its usually the tag for european models, which of course wasn't released for the note 5.

I know that it seems to me an assembled version hardware mad in Korea for American company Verizon and was sent to china to be unlocked version so they changed the model to n920f instead of n920v and applied modified soft and kernel and they replaced the back also and wrote n920 f
What do you think bonerp ?
Any ideas guys

The 'F' variant for Samsung devices is usually for European countries, but Samsung never released Note5 officially in Europe.
There is no N920F, the international variant is the N920C, If the actual device is N920V then those firmware should work.
Download and install : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en_GB
And see what the bootloader and modems are, they should specify what the actual phone is.
Remember that you are responsible for what you do to your device so proceed with caution and always back-up your data.
Here are screenshots from Samsung info apk , what do you think ?

It's a sprint model, you should be able to flash N920P firmware; It seems like the phone is running a custom ROM which has the CSC of the N920V.
Again you are responsible for what you do to your device so make a back-up before you attempt anything.

Depending on phone info apk it showed that model is n920v Verizon but you said its a sprint version i am confused.
how did you know it is a n920p not n920v ?

The bootloader and baseband belong to N920P.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/56804/N920PVPU2AOI6_N920PSPT2AOI6_SPR/
It's kind of confusing because your KNOX counter is not tripped but the firmware on your device seems to a mix between N920V and N920P with the Chinese and Sprint CSC

I'll be honest if there was a way to unlock sprint phones that way we'd already know about it, put in a T-Mobile sim and an att sim if they both work it's unlocked you can use any SIM cards if they work it's unlocked as long as you don't use sprint and Verizon for the rest. I'm very confident it's unlocked if it's not, it can be done easily

Hello,
Recently purchased a Note 8 SM-N950F from a fellow who said he purchased the phone while in India. Initially, it was reading my Telus Sim, but no Data, after a factory reset, the internet is now working. Curious if there is anything I should do with the phone, should I flash it with anything through ODIN for it to operate better on the Telus network, or do I leave everything as is?
The benefit of the N950F is that you can flash custom ROMs on it correct?
Thanks

Yes the N950F is an Exynos model, so you can root like normal since it's not bootloader-locked like most Snapdragon models. I have a dual-sim N950F on Bell Canada, and didn't have to do anything special to get it working.
You can't flash Telus firmware on it, since Telus models are Snapdragon and the N950F is Exynos, but if you decide to root then you can always change your CSC to Telus. Not sure it will add anything important though, and it still works without changing CSC of course.
I recently purchased a N950F that was open box from eBay.
First thing I did was flash the latest build of Oreo, based on my CSC, and reset the device back to stock.
Inserted my Telus SIM and now I have full service with two exceptions:
On stock, you will only ever see 4G or 4G+ as your connection status. Can be changed with custom ROMs.
On Telus, Band 29 is unsupported.
So, in the majority of my daily usage, I have 4 bars out of 5 whereas on my N950U1 , I averaged 5.
Since the N9600D is a Snapdragon device, would it be possible to flash canadian firmware for the 960w on the phone using ODIN without root? I am looking to install a Canadian CSC. Would it work and would I lose dual sim functionality?
There is no root

I know...which is why i am wondering if it's possible to flash a CSC from one snapdragon model to the other although one is dual sim and the other isnt

No.
Hi, did you figure out how to do this?? i just bought a N9600 and am having a very hard time getting stuff to work with it being on Panama CSC
I'm hoping to get root on this phone and I remember reading somewhere that bootloader unlock was possible on the n9600 model. I have the n9600 firmware and the patched Odin on my computer and was wondering if anyone had tried this or if this phone would even boot after being flashed with this firmware. The n9600 from what I understand is a Snapdragon model and the only difference is the addition of a second Sim slot.

you do know the phone is almost 1 year old right?
if the n960u still dosent have root, its for a good reason.
if it were so simple as to flashing an other firmware, i can guarantee you the snapdragon dev thread would be flooded with roms and stuff instead of having 2 releases.( 1 recovery, 1 rom)
to me implied logic tells me that the above should have been self evident.
sorry if i pass as a realist.
Hello everybody I have question about friends mobile. He bought it in USA from T-Mobile but now live in Europe. I think that there are 2 ways how to solve SIM lock right? First one: use some reliable but cheap service for unlocking by code. Second one: flash Android to global version? Can you tell me if it possible to flash N960U to some no SIM blocking Android? I flash some years ago some Samsung phones with ODIN, dont know if this can be used on phone sold in US.
I tried this https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/n960u-tmb-stock-odin-files-firmware-t3833205 but it keep asks me for unlock network code
Thank you for any advices...

maybe try n960u1 firmware instead of the regular U. use patched odin 3.13.1b to flash it.( and flash all 4 files not just the AP.md5....)
also I belive that it might be region locked. usualy to lift that a 5 min call should have been made on US soil with proper carrier sim. if he never used it on us soil then that might have been the issue.
jd14771 said:
A N960U1 rom might work. use the CCT csc for it to be completely carrier less. thats the "Unknown" variant as opposed to XAA which is USA unlocked.
use this to download the file faster than the freemium download speed on sammobile

they have the same files but depending on the csc it will load different configs for each. using CCT is the unknown variant so it should ask the sim card what region its in and hopefully sim unlock it.

the firmware file you dl is all the same regardless.
now on the device if you can manualy set the proper CSC code then yes that should work as you mentioned. but if nothing is modified, then system will just pick the appropriate or last csc that was set in root/efs/imei/mps code.dat
there is an other thread in the forums that has a procedure to force csc code for non rooted devices. it involves adb and flashing combo firmware if I'm not mistaken.

that very well may be the case. but at least before calling it quits might as well explore all available avenues.
