I bought a new Galaxy Note 9 online about a month ago (which I'm slowly starting to regret because of this issue), and I'm trying to upgrade it to Android 10. However, the Model Number and the Baseband version says SM-N960F/DS and N960NKOU3ASG1. After searching online for a while, I found a forum post from here two months that talks about my exact problem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/help-android-10-update-note-9-t4047729 which basically says to flash the firmware via Odin.
However, I'm having some doubts of whether it is the correct firmware of not, though this could be due to having problems with Sammobile for a long time. When I talked with one of the admins of Sammobile, he said that my phone has a "Custom ROM"/"Modded firmware" and to ask "the procedures on XDA where you downloaded the Custom Rom from "Ketan"... " This is the forum discussion I had with him, along with images of my phone showing the software info: https://www.sammobile.com/forum/threads/45917-download-link-for-firmware-not-working
If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it

It flashed with a custom rom. I have seen so many F versions with this issue. You should be able to factory reset then use Phone Info app. Do a refurbishment check with the app and also check what firmware. Find out what model and region..get the firmware and flash with odin. Whenever I have purchased a device off line I always ask seller to send a pic of the software screen.

I'll do the factory reset tomorrow, its getting late in my time, and I have to sleep early cause I work as retail morning shift.
The app that you're talking about is Phone Info, made by uax.io correct? The phone I'm sure is brand new because I remember discussing it with my sister and talking about just getting a brand new phone and not wanting to deal with returning it due to the current pandemic situation. The big problem I seem to have is that I'm not sure exactly what firmware I should use, since the Sammobile admin said my phone is using a mix.

Hey guys, my friend has a T-Mobile locked Galaxy S (which he doesn't want to unlock) and he is still on 2.1, I could've sworn froyo had been released but he is saying kies is showing that no update is available, I never had this issue when I used to have my galaxy s, being unlocked meant I was always using the latest fw's. Just looking for some clarification on this issue, thanks in advance. On an unrelated note I will be rejoining android tomorrow or Tuesday, I have now sold my iPhone 4 in favour of the desire HD. P.S can a mod please delete my other thread titled "Has group been released for T-Mobile UK users?" as my stupid iPhone 4 renamed froyo to group, thanks.
Yes it has.
http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/discussions/index?page=forums&topic=80103803112d158012cbdd098960077e2
He may need to update to the latest Kies to get it "Kies 2"
If he cannot then details of his SGS's region and current software would be useful to get an answer.

Thanks for the response, have told him to try reinstalling lies, if no joy then I will get his current rom details. thanks.
I did the *2767*4387264636# in my dialer, and for my Pcode i got i9000HKDAUT...
1. how do i find out what country that is? I can't find a reference to it on anywhere other than here
2. How do i tell what firmware and ROMs I can load on it?
3. Is there another way to get 2.3 for this model other than kies?
link to where i purchased it from
Thanks so much for the help, it really means a lot
HKDAUT is unbranded in Switzerland. I have the same.
As for what ROM you would like to have, the possibilities are endless with Odin. If you want gingerbread, there is a leaked version or a Cyanogenmod 7 test version. I'm running CM7, there are a few bugs but overall I find it stable enough!
Just be careful before doing anything with Odin, as if you don't read carefully and follow instructions you risk bricking your phone!

very unusual seeing as i got my phone from a chinese seller, but thanks. How did you find out yourself?
Also, is the "i9000" an international model, or is there a specific product code which makes it one?
One more thing, how do i find the release date for my... swiss.. phone ( i still find it weird considering i'm in australia) for the official 2.3?
No release date yet for 2.3 .
Product code is tied to area country continent and network supplier of the phone .You get official updates through Kies for your product code when that network upgrades the firmware .In your case its whenever the generic/unbranded Swiss models get the update dont matter where in the world you are .
Unofficial channels firmware etc i would lokk on the Oz posts .

Stock firmware with a new an improve ROM, better theme with bigger "fonts"
Google it, I'm sure you will find it aesthetically pleasing.
Seriously though, i'm not sure what to look for when looking at ROMs. Do I need to look for compatibility our should I assume that they're all automatically compatible? Do I see if it's compatible with my product code or my firmware version or what? I'm at a loss so as to how to start searching for a custom ROM.

To those who flashed the T-Mobile MM6.0 firmware published last week and locked up your SIM network, please try flash the Modem extracted from the 5.1 firmware with Odin under the CP option, make sure "re-partition" is unchecked. It will get your signal back. It was tested on my device, and so far so good. We can use the T-Mobile firmware finally
download the modem from here

By chance is this a similar instruction compared to the reddit thread? It seems theres alot of questions surrounding the unlocked version, in reference to this variant that came out of the box, for me as g920tzkax, then updated to g920tueu3cok1.
I agree with this method as it worked for me. I didnt factory reset i just flashed both mm and modem with oden. The only thing for me was it took 2 reboots to get lte to kick in. We unlocked users of this variant should create a thread

yes, I got idea from that thread, but I didn't see a post here. there is not much information about the unlocked version and it took me quite a lot time to do research and trial
for additional detail and information you can refer to the URL below, hope I didn't break anything to post external link here

I had chat with Samsung service support a couple of hrs ago and the guy said we unlocked G920T will likely get the OTA push in next two months. sigh...
Well at least we have mm, just with minor bloatware

Help what is the original firmware for this phone
That's an International model, you can flash whatever country firmware you want.
No I want to flash stock firmware back to it, and you could be right but I have not read that anywhere. Yeah I see the film where for every other variant but the G called Samsung they offered me no help because it wasn't international version. I do have a rooted now but I lost most of my functions with the S Note and Spen.

There are LOTS of different firmwares you can install because the SM-N920G was sold in many countries. Just use Odin to install whatever version you like the most, check out the attached screenshots. If you wanna feel like you did it right, select a firmware that could be compatible with your country, but there is no wrong or right firmware for a G model, because it is international.
Wow it's 4 am I did not expect to get a response so quickly and so thoroughly will put thank you very much.
Hey bro I got that right but I'm trying too hard and I am stuck on the team win screen so I can't get into the recovery how do I get out of that boot loop please and thank you
Hey thank you very much XDA members your advice is always the best even though being new sometimes I don't quite understand it but I was able to fix my first bricked phone it took 3 or 4 days figure it out but I got everything in the pass and now I'm going to try to reboot it again lots of love
I bought a Note 9 from Amazon I thought it was an official AT&T phone but it is the unlocked version. My unlocked version does not support a number of AT&T's features I would like to have access too. I have read how to flash the Rom and I know how to do it. I downloaded a Rom which I thought was the AT&T stock rom but it was actually the same Rom I had the unlocked version. So when I flashed it it was the same as before. I think it is possible it flash the phone so that it is like I bought it from AT&T. I have seen people do this on youtube with their Galaxy note 10's. I am unable to find the Official Stock Rom or maybe I have and am unsure if it is the official one. So if anyone knows where I can get the dang official Rom so I can flash my unlocked phone and turn it into an official AT&T phone that would really help me. Thank you very much.
My Model Number is
SM-N96OU1
My Baseband Version is
N96OU1UEU4DTC7
My build number is

in fact that DID answer your question.
in sammobile, you could find your "carrier" rom version as you want, which is U, not U1 (unlock version).
then use samfirm or frija to download the rom with max speed.

So If I want to flash it too the official AT&T I should look for SM-N96OU instead of SM-N96OU1, correct? I am nervous about bricking the phone. I have read that the AT&T version and the unlocked phones are exactly the same they just have different firmware. Is this true?

I'm looking to convert my SM-N960U1 (unlocked) to the AT&T version as well. I'm seeing the following as the lastest firmware I should be downloading to convert to AT&T. Can anyone verify this because the N960U does not have AT&T firmware available?
...firmware/SM-N960U1/ATT/download/N960U1UEU4DTC7/335086/
All the U firmware is the same. If you have At&t sim you can flash any Note 9 U firmware and it will provision to your sim. If you are coming from U1 you will need to do a factory wipe. Was your device purchased as unlocked or was it U?....
Oops never mind I see its unlocked.

For some reason i feel that Sammobile its more about selling firmware software to buyers of samsung instead of helping people take the best out of their phones. Some of use pay over the 1000 dollar for a phone and dont get easy help while samsung should atleast give us the freedom to get the firmwares for our devices for free. Sam mobile has ablot of information on their website,but ofcourse nothing for free. Even signing up their websites is an issue,and to get support thats another issue. So i most say Sam mobile its all about selling Samsung software,while you and me who buy the phones,not sammobile! Resell it back to us. Seriously its discrimination in my eyes. Maybe am wrong, but thats how i feel about. Now i dont know what business relation sammobile has with samsung,but i know the founder is not a. Chinese, but a Holland guy. Thank u.
