Baseband stuck on Korea on SM-960F (exynox) - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hello guys
1:- I bought a used note 9 8gb varient. At the time of purchase it was on super stable ROM Android 9 and was working fine (sim was working)
2:- I tried to go back to stock. Downloaded the firmware from Sammobile for N960F. When I tried to flash it using Odin there would be some error, (like secure check fail :
pit file)
Tried it many times. During that I checked the option of nande errase
3:- every thing was erased but It would still not accept Firmware for n960f. At that point I tried to install different custom Roms like Alexis and Dr ketan using twrp but it would not accept it
4:- In download mode the download was written in Korean so I downloaded the firmware from Sam mobile for n960n (Korean) and it was flashed with out any problem
5:- Every thing besides SIM was working on that. So after that I tried Dr ketan's Rom and Super Stable ROM but same problem
Please watch these pictures to understand the issue
drive.google.com/folderview?id=1tlFhDmWf13PD4s5R8ZeZujXxOcFL3ZUs
(Pless enter https:// before the drive link, I am a new user so I could not add link directly to the post)
Now at this point it is on Dr ketan's ROM. It is showing 2 IMEI's( I have check both are valid). In settings it shows Mode N960F but in download mode it says N960N.... The base band (CP file) is Korean... I does not accept N60F firmware( secure check fail : Pit file) comes up. Even tried to flash only CP file of N960F but (Radio error) comes up
PS: I am in Pakistan trying to run it on Pakistani network
Please if any one can help me.. THANKS

This is original N960N device modded by custom rom to be N960F also add 2nd IMEI to be dual version of N960F, all of this will stop working once U flash the OEM firmware so you will need to edit kernel and repair mipi to get network again cause modded IMEI can't work with OEM FW

[Q] a question about debranding, which firmware.

hello,
my phone is branded to orange in the uk. i have been looking into this for the past 3 days.
i am now at the point where i am ready to flash with odin but i am unsure which firmware to flash with, and i have read so much info im getting my head all wrapped around the situation
basically my current firmware is
PDA:I9000 BVJS4
PHONE: I9000 BVJP4
CSC: I9000 ORAJS4
version 2.2.1
i have looked at http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm and the amount of firmware staggers me not one all i am requesting if someone would be so kind and reply saying "flash this one mate"
i may have already read the answer but i have spent 3 days trying to figure it out for myself.
it was locked to orange but i have since unlocked it. it is currently rooted.
im not particularly bothered about warranty because i can add it to my home insurance to cover loss or damage. and from what i have read the phone is difficult to brick fully,
i have the download mode already, its just a case of get the firmware and flash.
i apologise for the very long post and i hope someone can help me
thanks for reading.
EDIT: i already have a backup of the efs folder
in my opinion don't use odin only , only if you want stock or root . Go to Doc Rambone's kitchen and build yourself your desired rom . I suggest JS8 wipe (you will lose all your data) or nonwipe ( you will have crappy data from previous rom ) , select your own csc if you want APN Settings , hardcore/SuperCurio/DamianGTO(never tested this) Kernel at your own desire , an european modem , themes sounds and boot amination at your own desire and need , and at apps and tweaks choose what you think you will use. SORRY FOR CRAPPY ENGLISH ( I'm not a native English speaker and I wrote very quickly .
I agree you can choose a CSC to suit your network .
CPW CSC covers all UK networks .
XWJS8 v9.9.5 WIPE base rom
CPW csc
Hardcore's Kernel *RECOMMENDED* kernel
JPX modem
Apps choose what you want .
Themes and boot animation choose what you want .

thamks guys, i have used odin to flash the new jvk firmware, (there is an app on market for my apn settings (im on giffgaff))
i have used criskelo's rom in the develeopment forum with his theme.
it really does amaze me when only 2 weeks ago i didnht know anything about odin or flashing and now i can downgrade/upgrade my firmware using odin, root it. and its all thanks to this wonderful website!
i even know how to install different themes etc and now i just installed a battery im just astounded.
there are a few other questions:
1) if i want to change my theme, can i just install it over the old one using cwm?
2) is there a thread/website etc where i can download certain mods? (ie i see a few of the themes have the market in different colours, different lock-screens, i just wondered if there was another place where i can get these from to install)
3) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934729&highlight=theme+creator i have found this but there doesnt seem to be a guide or anything, i cant get it to download the framework from my phone? i have tried in usb mode (kies and mass storage) download mode and mounting usb storage from the cwm. what i havent ried is with debugging mode on.

hi gazza1988, good to know u were able to debrand and flash the firmware through ODIN.
I also got my SGS through 3 UK. Its unlocked now.
But i am not am not able to install any apps and market is also not working. I also want to remove the branding.
My current config is :
PDA : I9000NEJP5
PHONE : I9000NEJP2
CSC : I9000HCGJP5
I want to flash to a stable stock firmware. Some people on forums suggested to flash JS8.
I downloaded I9000XWJS8 from samfirmwares.com but it has only one file - NEE.tar (which i guess is PDA file).
Will my current modem and CSC be compatible with I9000XWJS8 ?? Do i need to include .PIT file and select repartition ??
hi, if you want to debrand you will need new complete (ie 3 firmwares csc pda phone etc)
i assume you have odin already
if you want to debrand then download the jpu firmware (has all 3 files) here http://hotfile.com/dl/99955459/dea6962/I9000XXJPU.rar.html password for archive is samfirmware.com
once you have flashed that one go back into download mode and flash the NEE.tar as PDA to update to JS8.

Thanks for the quick reply man !!!
Do i also need to select PIT file and select re-partition ??
Also samfirmware has listed I9000XXJPU firmware download as 1 file only. Link
Like this :
I9000XXJPU ## | 512.PIT | Version 2.2.1 | 2010 December | DOWNLOAD | 1 file select NO .PIT
I've have started the download anyway, so lets see.
As i'm using my SGS in India, is it better to flash an Asian firmware with CSC which has info about indian networks ?? Can u tell me which Asian firmware on this page has all 3 files ?
possibly would be better to flash asian but what the effects of changing from one region to another are im not 100% may be worth startin a new topic in this forum as people are less inclined to look in here as they think my issue is being seen to by someone else.
the asian firmware for india is DD (ie I9000DDxxx so i would guess that the I9000DDJF2 would contain all 3 files to flash then you would have to flash I9000DDJP6 to get indian stock froyo firmware. but i would ask a more experienced person about moving regions i was a noob at this 2 weeks ago.
i am 90% certain that flashing indian firmware would debrand and enable the market, it may be worth adding a post to this thread detailing what you have now and what you would like (ie branded uk firmware to stock indian firmware - it may also be worth asking if you can use european firmware with a indian csc as i have read the indian froyo is not very good)
the reason you cant download apps from the market would be your location (ie the phone's firmware is 3 UK and you are in india so it get "confused". do you have 3g connectivity.
i have researched some of this and the CSC (country specific code) is what holds the apn settings etc so you would need an indian csc
gazza1988 said:
... do you have 3g connectivity ...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, i have 3g, but not able to sign in to google account even with 3g. And the strange part is that i can't even directly install most of the apk files. Adobe flash player apk didn't install. Even asphalt 5 didn't install. I was able to install Winamp for android. I downloaded many apks for the internet (some of them specifically packed for SGS) but 99% of them don't install on my SGS.
I have started this thread, so lets see.
Is I9000XXJPU a Unbranded firmware ?? I think we can safely assume that if I9000XXJPU firmware is designed for factory unlocked phones sold by samsung in Europe when i could solve the market issues. And i can manually enter the APN settings of my network. The issue currently i think is the 3 UK crap.

[Q] Q : how to flash samfirmware tar file ?

hi every one
i just downloaded il orange rom 2.3.3 from sammobile i tried million times to flash it with odin , odin every time says pass but the i9000 just still booting .
i tried to remove the battery , to use pit file with the rom , to flash with defferent odin versions but it still the same , odin says pass but the phone booting all the time .
the rom is a tar file .
( every else rom "not tar file" working fine , but i need to flash the original rom )
any body can help me please ?
Download this guide. It is a direct link from the sammobile site.
How long are you waiting for the phone to start up. If you aren't waiting up to 30mins it is not long enough.
You should receive all the files required within the .zip file you downloaded from sammobile.com. If it was a single .tar file put it in PDA, if it is .pit file as well use that as well.
Does that help?
thank you , but i waited more than 30 min until the phone had become very hot then i feared to broke it .
it's a single tar file , should i use pit file with it ?
( in the guide samsung explains how to flash with non single file rom )
If the pit file came with the package then yes use it!
Can you give me a link to the rom you downloaded, and a link to the page you saw the list of firmwares for you.
What rom were you using before?
Also copy and paste what is says when you finish flashing, a screenshot would probably be better.
And lastly have you tried another computer?
F.M.K said:
3. i tried another original roms like cellcom rom its the same , but another roms like 2.3.6 and ics working just fine only the roms from sammobile do this to me .
4. i don't know how to take screen shoot of the mobile.

Make sure re-partition was ticked when you use the pit file.
Is there any reason you need a stock rom??
Ok it could be a bug with that FW somehow, try the links here
If the link is not there or after you try and flash the above rom and you still want to install the FW from sammobile then try after using the most similar firmwares above.
Finally if all that still doesn't work then download and install this.
Hopefully after installing that you can install the original. Or just stay with one of the other original roms above. I don't think having a carrier version of the rom is that important, but you know better than me because I assume it is important in your country.
If you do decide to stick with any of the firmware above then make sure you type in *#262*your imei# and select your correct csc code (3 letter code). Changing the selected code will reboot and factory reset your phone!

first of all thanks to you for helping me
second : i need afirmware with arabic , hebrew & english interface build in - only the il original one have this .
third : there is 3 providers in israel cellcom pelephone & orange , orange have a special band not like the others & this is the provider i use .
4. all the non original roms and ics's have too much problems , like radio dosn't work , low signal , market unfotunetly stoped , Restarts suddenly.
If you have a special band are you sure you have the i9000?? Is it another version of i9000 like i9000T or something. Check your box or the back of your phone after taking out the battery.
Again have you checked the firmware here it is the original firmware. It has JV9 firmware and therefore probably has your languages.. and once the correct csc is in and your APN is correct all should be fine.
This is all assuming that your phone is actually gt-i9000 not another variant.
Also the links i provide are generally quite stable and so have little or no bugs. For example this is known to be quite stable. However i am not sure about the languages..
Just found this link click by searching for the firmware name in google
And then if that doesn't work then you are not meant to have that update. Use the link for the firmware called I9000JHJV8 on sammobile, it is the earlier firmware however should fit your requirements. After setting the CSC and apn attach it to your computer with Kies and it will update to the latest.

Above link is a thread on xda, that has stock firmware... find one you want the same one if you can...
http://samsung-updates.com/gt-i9000-samsung-galaxy-s/
Is a link to list that has same firmware you are trying to use from sammobile.
The reason i am giving you these links is because the files that you downloaded from sammobile.com may be corrupted. These are alternative links of the SAME firmware but different files.
Finally if these do not work and you have the same outcome that the phone does not boot. Then download and install the firmware called I9000JHJV8 on sammobile.com. It is the earlier firmware however should fit your requirements. After setting the CSC and APN connect your phone to your PC. Use Samsung Kies to update your phone.

i thing you are not understanding me , the proccess of flashing the phone completes just fine and the phone start booting but it still booting ( the booting animation working fine ) it get not into the system .
i think the problem is the single tar file because all the roms with three files and icses working fine .
if there is a way to un.tar the file and made from it 3 md5 files to flash with odin maybe it will works.

try download your firmware using this software.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3803841&d=1467715462
you need .net 3.5 to be install on your pc.
put your model as SM-N920P and region SPR. Tick the binary nature, check crc and decrypt automatically. it will download your firmware. then try flash with odin.

u cannot downgrade to lollipop u should flash same version of installed android or newer version . thats probably because of locked bootloader .
Its not FRP issue. Actually Samsung has implemented security on new firmwares and now we cannot install old firmwares anymore. As I installed:
N920IDVU3BPL2 firmware from Sammobile, so now I am just able to install one previous firmware ie: N920IDVU3BPJ2 and other than this I cannot install any firmware of Marshmallow or Lollipop at all.
If I still try to install any firmware I get [sw rev check fail binary: 3 device: 2] error.
My problem is that the new firmware is not working good and I cannot use my phone on LTE and even 3G is not goos at times so I am helpless at this stage. I think if I try my old modem of "N920IDVU2BPG3" firmware then may be I get LTE because this was the last perfect firmware working on my phone.
ODIN is throwing error so I think may be flashing the modem and bootloader via twrp may work but do not know if it will cause damage and also do not know how to make flashable zip of twrp for modem and bootloader.
Samsung has really messed me up and I hate it. From last one week the phone is not good on data.

Note 9 SM-N960F/DS Firmware problem.

I have a Note 9 SM-N960F/DS model. I bought it from KSA (Saudi Arabia). The phone came with Android Pie (9) out of the box.
Unfortunately my friend rooted my phone and now i am running on "N960FXXU3CSFA/N960FOXM3CSFA/N960FXXU3ASF1" version with "Security patch level: 1 June 2019". I am unable to use my Samsung account and all the security features (finger print, Ratina scanner, Face recognition etc).
When i switch back to original firmware i.e
PDA N960FXXU3CSG1
CSC N960FOXM3CSG1
i got all the features functioning but my SIM card shows "Emergency calls only".
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Well, My friend took my phone and told me that he will make it compliant with our local network and make it approved from the Telecommunication authority.
He has downgraded the phone with older firmware version i.e N960FXXU3CSFA/N960FOXM3CSFA,N960FXXU3ASF1. The security patch level is 1 June 2019
I have checked the Knox e-fuse which is not tripped which means its an official ROM and not altered.
Now, i have the latest firmware version downloaded i.e N960FXXS3CSG1 but when i try to install it in my phone it does not recognize my SIM card and phone is in "Emergency calls Only" state.

not sure how you check knox but if he really rooted then its too late and knox cannot state cant be reverted.
typically checking via software is not a good method . going to download mode and checking warranty state 0x0 means is not tripped. anything different means it been tripped/blown.
anyways that dosen't make you phone have no signal though.
i suspect he screwed up the twrp recovery flash procedure for twrp and botched the flash back to stock via odin.
read up on odin and how to use it. get latest version.(search and read)
read up so on how to get latest firmware for your phone and which csc your carrier is so that you can download the correct firmware and have best results for your sim carrier.( in doubt try BTU csc firmware)(but search and read about the subject of phone types firmwares and CSC)
also the firmwares your quoted seem old. not sure why you ended up using it but you should get one that is from july.
E.G.:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note9/firmware/SM-N960F/BTU/
(get the most recent! july 25th)( u can dl odin from there too)
on your PC, install samsung android drivers or simply install samsung smart switch. it will install the necessary components.
in it self smart switch can flash firmware automatically for your device. so you might want to try it first.
if you go towards the odin flash route and found the correct firmware or want to try BTU multi csc as suggested above:
put phone in download mode and unzip on PC firmware and flash with odin BL,AP,CP and CSC. But for csc choose csc.md5 instead of home_csc.md5
(be patient while AP is being checked before adding cp and csc)
edit: details steps on odin flashing procedure below

last but not least don't listen to your friend or let him close to your phone again. reading and searching on xda is much better. everything has been already asked. you just need to search for it.

I haven't try SmartSwitch for N9 but worth to try as it should be able to detect proper csc for your phone.
Else find the latest firmware for your phone with Frija/Samfirm then flash with odin.

I have a Note 9 SM-N960F/DS model. I bought it from KSA (Saudi Arabia). The phone came with Android Pie (9) out of the box.
Unfortunately my friend rooted my phone and now i am running on "N960FXXU3CSFA/N960FOXM3CSFA/N960FXXU3ASF1" version with "Security patch level: 1 June 2019". I am unable to use my Samsung account and all the security features (finger print, Ratina scanner, Face recognition etc).
When i switch back to original firmware i.e
PDA N960FXXU3CSG1
CSC N960FOXM3CSG1
i got all the features functioning but my SIM card shows "Emergency calls only".
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

well may be your friend tried to change IMEI of phone which is illegal in any country. Match your IMEI with box by dialing *#06#, if IMEI are same then no need to worry. you need to register your phone IMEI with PTA by paying tax. after paying tax they will whitelist the IMEI of your phone and you will be able to make calls.
just for information, my note 9 is also brought from Saudi Arabia, but at that time one device was free, so i got my phone registered by providing my travel details to PTA and they whitelisted my phone.
Please guide me solution.

which N960N software version does support the DUOS (2 sim card)

Greeting
I am looking if the N960N NOTE 9 Korean version does support the DUOS, I have a Samsung note 9 which is ( second hand ) definitely support 2 sims, it is written on the back cover DUOS, and the sim card tray is showing sim 1 and sim2 written on it , also the device back shows 2 IEMI but same numbers, when I got the phone I noticed that it is rooted ( which I don't like), so flashed it with oden to original stock firmware, but got problem that the Korean version of the software is not showing nither the sim manager or 2 sims IMEI numbers like before , now I am looking for a software (stock) which may bring the 2nd sim card slot back, any suggestion or numbers or versions ?
the version I used until now:-
1- N960NKSU3CSI2_N960NOKR3CSI2_KOO
2-N960NKSU3CSJ1_N960NOKR3CSJ1_KOO

I know for a fact that N960N is a Single SIM device and does not possess a 2ndary SIM slot. As I have one.

süre, you go to DR KATAN procedure fır detailed one , but will go quickly with this :-
unlock OEM on developer option ( this is the hardest part as long as it wont just appears when you go developments,
then you go download the patched oden version ,
then you boot download mode and flash the TWRP recovery file , you need to press vol up and baxby and power when pressing start on odin , after that you will be in the recovery mode and able to flash the Dr Katan rom , you will see 2nd sim working in his rom

hello brother i'm having same issue with my note 9 N960N as u mention ealeir can u share the detail and rom with me please
hello there ,
I cannot post link due to reputation, but i will guide you to the right way , in google search for dr ketan rom n960 note 9 , then you there download the rom file and put keep in computer , then go To developers option and unlock OEM , then get The Patched version of oden and follow these steps :-
1- download TERP recovery file from official site for the note 9 latest version
2-open oden and choose the recovery file you downloaded as AP file
3- power off the phone , hardly press power button + volume down and connect the cable from computer to the phone , the phone will boot to download mode.
4-press power + volume up together , and press start , wait until your phone will boot to recovery mode , after that you need to WIPE EVERYTHING OFF FROM YOUR PHONE , i will suggest you keep copy of phone with smart switch.
5- from here you can flash the rom you downloaded before by copy it to phone via cable and flash it as any other rom
NOTE THAT THIS MAY DAMAGE YOUR PHONE AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE OF THAT , YOU DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK....
after phone boots you will be able to use your 2nd sim
Happy flashing
