One of my friends has received the OTA for One UI 2.1 on the Galaxy Tab A with S-Pen LTE model and the region is XTC, for those who want to flash this you can download this through Frija
Yes, I confirm. I flashed it on my XME without loosing data.
It can be done by using HOME_CSC file for those CSC :
and here's what's new : https://doc.samsungmobile.com/sm-p205/xtc/doc.html

it was working at the time I took the snapshot (may 25) and it seems that it's not working anymore...
and I dit it after clean flashing an XTC firmware
I was hoping that at least samsung had introduced "the magnifying glass with S-pen" and "samsung traslate"
Can anyone confirm if the update includes the 'Call & Text on other devices' feature under advanced features in settings?
I've got the SM-P200 (WiFi) version.

Hey
I have been searching for a clear answer but couldn't find any.
I am looking for guides and information about how I could possibly install a fresh, stock, "vanilla" version on my Note 8 N950N.
mine is the korean 256GB variant. I can't replace it and i wanted to get the 256GB variant anyway.
but some bloatware and also a few minor annoying "bugs" that are in the korean software is really disturbing me. it gets all confused because i am not really in/from korea. i get plenty of korean marketing **** and more...
I would like to have an international version. have it work seamlessly with my local networks, and also when i go abroad (i will be going to the USA in april).
Preferably i would like to get the Stock version, without rooting anything.
but if i have no choice i would install a custom rom which is the "cleanest" and the one most similar to stock.
please, can anyone write down clearly what are the steps I should do. I would be really thankful.
By the way, if it matters, I live in israel (if need to install a software or modem which are compatible.)
please, help!
thank you very much
Alon

Because you can't install F fw on a N without rooting, odin will not let you.
If you don't care about Samsung Pay or Secure Folder, twrp/root & install any custom F based rom you want. Or with root you can remove all the bloatware from your stock fw that you want. Or you can install Weta Rom base only. Weta Rom has the mod installer seperate so if you just want a stock unbloated rom Weta base would be a good choice. Weta is by far my favorite ROM so far & is what I have been running....with the Weta mod though.

Thank you,
I actually don't mind about Samsung Pay. it's not being used in Israel anyway, and what is Secure Folder? i didn't know about it also anyway so i guess it wouldnt bother me.
So what is the process step by step?
1. Root phone.
2. then?
is it possible to root the phone and then install a stock firmware of an F variant? i am not interested in having a custom rom anyway...

Hey man, I tried doing exactly this on my 256GB SM-N950N with @_alexndr's DevBase ROM for the SM-N950F as you linked to above. Skipped the model check, however, I keep getting an error message during the installation process. @_alexndr stated, here in that his DevBase thread, that flashing the SM-N950F ROM on the SM-N950N isn't that straight forward due to different system partition size.
Please would you happen to know of the proper procedure to resizing my SM-N950N partitions so that I can flash the latest SM-N950F Oreo (don't like Android pie) DevBase ROM on it? Thanks in advance.

No, that's still Korean. I'm looking to install the unlocked and unbranded UK CSC on my SM-N950N. However, doing that breaks Bixby and other region-locked Samsung services as they detect my model number isn't in the region. So, I figured installing the SM-N950F ROM would resolve the region locking issue. Similar to how Tkkg1994's Iron Man ROM did it.

i believe by debloating a bit, the total amount of data written to the system partition was reduced to accommodate the N devices. or by pure fluke, maybe dev never intended to reduce data just for the N but just by removing some knox stuff and other unneeded stuff when rooted.

But if I change the CSC to the UK unlocked and unbranded, Bixby starts saying "Ok, I canceled it" to every single 1 of my commands.
Whereas with the Iron Man ROM, which virtually changed my device model number to SM-N950F, and the same UK CSC, everything worked fine. Unfortunately, it's development came to an end long before my Note 8 was even 1 years old.

So you're applying the same CSC patch to both ROMs? Or you mean that a CSC with the same name in Iron Man ROM and in a separate CSC zip behave differently?
My phone is running stock N950N base, with my USA T-mobile CSC patch and Bixby works correctly for a USA Tmobile phone because all its settings are in the CSC config files.

I used Tkkg1994's CSC changer ZIP file in both cases. How did you go about doing your CSC change? If I can simply change to UK unlocked and unbranded CSC while keeping Bixby and every other Samsung service working as normal, I'll be fine with that.
Hi
Anyone has similar issue? Sammobile shows firmware update from 19-Feb-2018 but the phone is not showing any update. I checked for update manually and didn't work.
Anyone has solution other than updating using ODIN?
Thanks.

We need to record calls without rooting our devices (mine is a Samsung Note 8 updated to Android PIE).
All third party apps are not working anymore because Google (shame on you) blocked them with android 9.
We need a quick solution from XDA because the most of the Producers brands don't want to provide for that (only Xiaomi provide a native function in his smartphones, from what i know). Samsung seems not interested to this request of the users.
Please develpers focus on this...million of users waiting a quick solution!!!!
Thanks in advance.

Hi, i have taiwanese firmware BRI (in Sammobile i can see that Taiwan and India have same the same CSC N950FOXM5DSB2).
I have not record call native function with this firmware. Are u sure that in Indian software that function is present? I mean in Note 8 (SM-N950F DS) dual sim.
By the way, if i decide to flash indian firmware .....to change CSC what file is the one to use? home_CSC or CSC? I've read that someone flashed the other country firmware but then CSC didn't changed ....
Can u link me a video to do this? or a forum with a clear instructions to use a firmware of another country?

Hey Try this. *#272*Device IMEI# if it shows list of CSC select the one you desired.
Caution: It will factory reset the phone. When booting don't insert sim card as it will try to change back CSC to your sim country. Let me know if it working.
I had to flash through ODIN coz in NZ phones are network dependent. but asian and european version have multiple CSC so it should work fine without root.
HIT LIKE IF WORKED
---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------
If it didn't work let me know. Got few idea in my mind.
You should be presented with this pop up once you enter the code in dialer.
maybe it's enough that i only change my CSC (now BRI) to INDIA (INS)..to enable record calls native function.
then hard reset and let update the smartphone.
I have Taiwan official last firmware with PIE now (received OTA) and i've read on Sammobile that Taiwan and India have same firmware numbers.
So maybe i don't need to flash indian firmware with ODIN....what do u think? Should it work this way?
I will test when i have time (i need the phone and i dont have time to waste reinstalling and configuring everything again)....
Before this test i wait other suggestions please...thanks in advance

Just wondering if anyone has recently changed their CSC to allow them quickest access to updates and the Beta program?
My CSC is for O2 UK and I'd rather it was generic.

Does the XID CSC change affects the phone ? I mean the phone still remains a dual SIM phone?
Also, volte and WiFi calling are still there to XID CSC?
