If you have a PC and you are on a OXM multi csc firmware download the latest pie firmware for the oxm firmware and use Odin on PC to flash pie.
What is your CSC and your current firmware? (Dial *#1234# and read the ap and csc line.) List the 3 letter CSC and the CSC line from the dial prompte .

You should be getting it soon. As OS releases are dependent on the device's country of origin. Of course you could just install Pie manually via Odin, just make sure the OS model number you are planning to install matches that to your device's model number.

Please check

Since your on an oxm multi csc firmware use Odin to flash the latest pie but if you want to go back to oreo don't flash the March pie update . Only flash the first pie release. On the March update they said you can't go back to earlier release. So I wouldn't try it unless you like pie and don't want to go back to oreo.
I would flash the first pie release to see if you like it first. But be warned though you might have to factory reset if you go back to oreo if you get any issues with system.

SM-N9600 firmware and TTT/TTT/PCT and CSC Region questions before flashing.

Greetings,
I just picked up a Note 9 SM-N9600 Its unlocked. Currently out of the box with just slipping in the SIM and setup works with no issuess.
Cricket Wireless in the US (aka ATT network)
I haven't flashed or rooted/roms since my Note 3 days. So i just want to be clear on the proper firmwares.
I currently have the following, and would like to flash it to Pie 9 since there is no OTA update i can detect at this time. I do not care what firmware as long as i can still use the phone I do not care about SAMSUNG PAY. That being said something real strange about this phone is the CSC code. It reads TTT/TTT/PCT. I know PCT is puerto rico. I don't know what the TTT is for. Isn't the order for CSC. Sim1/Sim2/Original country?
below is my devices info. Im trying to put my head around this. I downloaded SamFirm_v0.3.6 used the PCT for Region. I came back with this stuff to download PIE. Honestly i do not care if its flashed to some US based firmware unbranded if this is even an option?

Please help! Question about which firmware to flash

Hey guys,
I have a question about my new note 9 I bought recently. So I bought the phone which was described as a Tmobile unlocked note 9. I noticed the phone is on android 9 still and won't update via the software update or samsung switch PC app. Says I'm on the current version and no available updates. I decided to try and flash the newest update but when I looked at the software information, I saw the following:
One UI version
1.0
Android version
9
Baseband version
N960USQS3CSJ2
Kernel version
4.9.112-16352588
#2 Wed Oct 23 12:37:16 KST 2019
Build Number
PPR1.180610.011.N960USQS3CSJ2
Service Provider SW ver.
SAOMC_SM-N960U_OYN_TMN_PP_0019
28f15f89d33f7ece
TMB/TMB/SPR
So if i'm not mistaken, this phone is originally from Sprint? How should I go about flashing the newest android 10 firmware ? for future updates as well?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

It does seem that you have the Sprint model of the Note 9. If you cannot update the OS via OTA in the device. you would need to download the update from Sammobile and install it onto your device using Odin.

Thanks, that's what I plan on doing. Should I flash the Sprint or T-Mobile version of the update via Odin?

You can install either OS. Or the Samsung stock OS as all of those will run perfectly in the US variant of the Note 9

OTA update for N960USQU1CSA7 baseband version?

I'm trying to look for the OTA update to update my Note9, which is running on N960USQU1CSA7 baseband version. I can't seem to find it anywhere though, the baseband version isn't listed on firmware science either. Any help would be appreciated
Baseband version: N960USQU1CSA7
Security patch level: January 1st 2019
Build number: PPR1.180610.011.N960USQU1CSA7
While I persumably have your attention, might as well ask this
Using Odin can I flash USC (USA Unbranded) region firmware to my device? The device is an AT&T carrier version so it's region is ATT.
If I was to update, either by OTA or by flashing with Odin, how do I avoid losing any data on the phone? I have backed up my important files but wish to avoid the hassle of setting up my device again.

Changing CSC to receive OTA updates

I bought myself a supposedly brand-new, in-box SM-N960F/DS (so this is the dual-SIM version of the Note 9) using the Exynos 9810 from an online retailer in SEA. As it turns out, the phone has an Android patch level of Nov 2019, so I wanted to update it to the latest Android version available for the phone (Nov 2021). And that's when I found out that my set was an imported set from some other country in SEA, and about Samsung's *wonderful* CSC region-locking 'feature'.
Okay, so basically, I'm going to try to go to a Samsung service centre to see if they can change the CSC on my new phone so that I can receive OTA updates. Failing which, and this is the reason I am making this post, I would like to change the CSC myself and update the phone - using Odin, if I have to.
The phone is using what I believe to be stock ROM with a baseband version of N960FXXS4CSJ1, and a Service provider SW ver. of SAOMC_SM-N960F_OXM_XXV_PP_0010. From what I was able to gather, this means that I have a multi-CSC (OXM) firmware, but it is currently set to generic Vietnam (XXV). The two CSC combinations currently reported are XXV/XME,XXV/SKC.
Now, I have tried to change the CSC by using Google Phone and dialling the *#*#27262826#*#*, and that didn't work for whatever reason. I tried the *#272*IMEI#, and that didn't work either, for whatever reason. I guess I will have to flash a new firmware in myself.
I currently have downloaded via Bifrost both the XXV and the XME latest firmware versions (Security level Nov 2021 as of now). I do not intend to root the phone or anything like that (that said, AIDA64 reports that my device is rooted, for whatever reason). I have also downloaded the Samsung USB drivers for Windows and Odin 3.14.1 (both patched and unpatched). I don't know where I can get the OXM version of the firmware, which would be best, because dual-SIM allows me to slot in an Aussie SIM when I do travel over there.
I would greatly appreciate it if I could be advised as to whether I can simply flash the XME firmware and then receive OTA updates thereafter, or do I flash the XXV firmware and keep a watchout for future updates manually. Or, indeed, what my other options are. Step-by-step instructions would be nice, although I intend on following the tutorial as listed here: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-update-samsung-galaxy-smartphone/
Hopefully, I will retain the dual-SIM functionality, along with VoLTE, Wi-Fi Calling, Call recording, and so on and so forth.
Thanks in advance!

just download latest firmware for your phone from here https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ (you can select country and operator)
put your phone on download mode and flash with odin. Done!

Does that mean I can disregard what the current CSC is, and I can choose whichever CSC (country) I am currently in regardless of what the Note 9 is set to at the moment?

Greetings all; would appreciate any insights as to whether it will be safe to flash the XME or XXV firmware into my device. I'm more than happy to provide additional information if that would help.
