Need lastest FW for T-Mobile SM-N960U Note 9 - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hi-
I want to update my SM-N960U to latest firmware for T-Mobile. It is unlocked phone with N960USQU1CSA7, Android 9 and One UI 1.0. T-Mobile does not make updated FW available for it- so I'm assuming I need to do it myself.
Thanks,
Kirk

If someone could point me to the proper place that would be great. I searched but haven't found a detailed way to do it.

Thanks so much !?

Hi- I tried updating the firmware with Odin3-v3.14.4 but I get the following:
.
.
<ID:0/006> Can't open the serial(COM) port
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I have latest Samsung USB drivers (1.7.23.0) on my laptop. I tried 2 different USB cables and both USB ports. I'm trying to install the latest firmware N960USQS5ETH2_N960UOYN5ETH2_TMB.

Goto settings/developers option and turn on usb debugging mode.
Make sure your usb ports are usb 2 or lower version.
Make sure you have any antivirus program turned off or enable the port . Disable Samsung smart switch if installed.
Make sure your phone is in download mode, then have Odin running as administrator privilege (right click and run as administrator) then plug in phone and wait till you see com (device) added.
Make sure windows can recognize the phone when plugged in (can you browse folders on phone through windows explorer? ) if not redownload the Samsung usb drivers again and reinstall it.

Hi- I could not get it to work on my laptop which has USB 3.1 ports. I did get it to work on an older laptop.
A couple of questions- in Odin for the CSC file should I use the HOME_CSC file or the CSC file. What is the difference?
Also, in the firmware file there is a USERDATA_TMB file. Should i include this in Odin?
Finally- before doing the update I used the Smart Switch program to back up the data and apps on the phone and SD card. After I finish updating the phone with Odin can I use Smart Switch to put the data and apps back on the phone?
Thanks again,
Kirk

because you make a update from telekom to telekom, you can use HOME_CSC, it makes no factory reset,
because you make a update from Android 9 to Android 10 its better to use the normal CSC, it makes a factory reset,
because you update vom telekom to DBT you have to use the normal CSC ( not HOME )

Odin trouble... newer Captivate user

I'm having trouble flashing back to JF6 after a failed JH7 OTA update.
I can't flash back to stock firmware after following a lot of the directions posted around the forum. Odin One Click is all bank when I click start and I immediately get "All threads completed 0/0" and nothing happens. I've tried several different orders of operations in regards to putting into downloading mode and connecting to the PC, etc.
Also, Odin3 does the same thing after selecting the PIT file and firmware from samfirmwares. I get the same message and nothing happens.
Is there a more specific guide someone can point me to or share some insight? Thanks in advance.

How are you using odin?
The process is the same for either ODIN one-click or ODIN3
Your phone MUST be in download mode.
You will get a black screen with a yellow triangle, saying "DOWNLOAD"
The process to get into download (works for me) is by powering off the phone.. odin must already be turned on in your computer. <<IF you are using win7, run it as admin... right-click then "Run as Administrator">>
With the phone powered off, press and hold both volume buttons, then plug in the USB cable to the phone. The cable must already be plugged in to the computer.
Next, start ODIN and wait for it to finish.
This should be a foolproof method.
I am having the same issue...
I followed the exact directions on the thread title '[STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader and Drivers CAPTIVATE ONLY 'and I get into "Download mode" but nothing happens. I click start on Odin (the one downloaded from that thread) and it *instantly* says <OSM> All threads complete. (succeed 0 / failed 0).
What am I doing wrong?
Samsung Captivate running 2.1 rooted with "the beast". I bricked it last night trying to get OTA gps "fix" notice to stop bugging me.
Any tips? Thanks!

What OS are you running on your computer? Is it win7? If it is, make sure you run ODIN as administrator. Also, is ODIN on prior to connecting phone to computer?
Try following these steps:
1. Plug in USB cable to computer
2. Turn on ODIN (run as administrator)
3. Turn off phone (not connected to anything)
4. Hold down both volume buttons on phone
5. Connect USB cable to phone while doing STEP4
6. Click start in ODIN
This should work. If you are using ODIN3 instead of one-click, then make sure to set .PIT and PDA files properly, and to click re-partition if you are trying to unbrick your phone
Thank you....
I'm using Win 7 64-bit.
I've tried on both ways, prior and after, just to see if either worked.
The version of Odin is Odin3excution v1.00 downloaded from the aforementioned thread. (yes execution is misspelled on the actual program).
I am running it as administrator using the right click, run as function.
I can't link anything because I'm a new user (BAH! ) but it says Odin3 One-Click Downloader on the top in black.
ALL the boxes are blank. Every thing is blank...thank you!

I did this and I do get into Download mode immediately, Odin3 One-Click Downloader just says <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0) instantly.
I'm guessing I need a different version of Odin? FWIW, the name of the actual file is I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0

I'm having the same issue. I'm on WinXP, SP2 (old computer, I know.) I'm normally a Mac user, this is the only PC I have.
I'm using the same Odin One Click version Drew stated, with all boxes blank. Perhaps a drivers issue?
look up the odin one-click thread and DL the appropriate drivers and try again
As soon as you get into download mode and connected odin should recognize your phone - is odin seeing your phone?
No, windows is a POS. I've downloaded so many different drivers and each time I get an error saying it failed. I've literally tried every Captivate 64 bit win 7 driver out there, I downloaded KIES and tried that too.
I'm *really* close to dumping windows and android and just going full Apple. I am so sick of this crap and I've always hated Apple products (almost to the point of being extreme) but...if ya can't beat 'em, join 'em.
I've spent the better part of 2 days trying to get this to work and the main issue, from what I'm slowly finding out, is windows wont recognize the phone and keeps dumping it before it gets connected.
It's just really too much at this point. I can go buy *shudder* an iMac, an iPhone *double shudder* and I'll be up and running in 15 minutes.
F8ck this noise.
Try this link for 64bit windows drivers.
Before you install, go to control panel, and delete all previous drivers.
Reboot your computer once before re-installing the drivers above.
http://http://www.mediafire.com/?3dh4d6up72me9re
I'm pretty sure you won't need to install .net framework for Odin to work.
But if after drivers it still doesn't work, try installing .net framework 4.0 as well. You will need that installed to root anyways.

Nope, ODIN does not recognize my phone. I've tried it a few more times using the correct sequence and got nothing. Even reinstalled the drivers and rebooted the PC (without my phone connected).
Issue has been resolved. I tried it on a newer system running WinXP and got flashed back to stock with no problem... although the OTA update failed again.... but I've got the one-click version of that too.
Thanks for everyone's help!

[Q] How to use ODIN to upgrade firmware on Samsung I9070

Hi There,
I would like to upgrade my I9070 to the latest firmware, i have the official correct firmware for my country (HK), but unfortunately Kies has stopped working via USB (Your device is not supported by Kies 2.0 - think this was after one of the last updates, but anyway i have given up trying to fix Kies).
So i would like to upgrade via ODIN, but not quite sure how to do it and don't want to brick my phone - could anyone give some quick instructions, i know how to put the phone into download mode etc etc, just not sure on what i do in ODIN, i have a single md5 file, but what buttons do i press in ODIN, seem to be options saying phone, pda, etc - the version of ODIN is 4.03.
Many Thanks !
Dan

Hi Guys ,could anyone help out a newbie ?
I found all the ODIN instructions, basically my official firmware i want to upgrade to is a one package deal, so according to all the reports i have read i need to select the one package option instead of all the different PDA etc options. No problem, i understand that.
The only problem i have now is that the ODIN versions i have tried ill not recognise my phone when it boots up in download mode (none of the COM ports turn yellow), the PC can recognise the device, no problem - and i can transer files over in explorer.
I have tried ODIN 4.34, 4.03 & 3.98, all with different leads and different USB ports.
The really strange bit, is i have an older version of ODIN (1.31 which does recognise the phone, except it is so old it doesn't have the single integrated package option, so i can't use it).
Can anyone help, as i am now totally stuck with no way to update my phone - i've already tried re-installing drivers from Kies etc etc many times
Thanks all

Research heimdall, or heimdall-one-click. The one-click is like Odin, and the regular one requires u to unzip the rom before u flash it. U have to put all the unzipped files in their corresponding fields, but it allows u to flash a single part of the rom, or the whole rom. So say u just want the recovery. Or just the kernel. U have that option. I like heimdall more. And maybe that will recognize your phone.

Thanks very much, but looked a bit too complicated for what i wanted to do. In the end, i just went for it and used the old version of ODIN, and selected the md5 file under PDA, hit start and held my breath. Luckily it worked.
My phone is now miles faster, and as a bonus (or not) it fixed my kies recognition problem, thanks for your help !

Kies and GG - Connection issues

Hi all. After reading that Tizen was out via an update through Kies, I figured I would give it a shot. I downloaded the official Kies 3.0 and 2.6 and neither will recognize my gear. I have tried the following.
1. Using different USB ports on my desktop
2. Using a different computer
Possible issues: I have read that 2.7 is necessary, yet I can't find the download anywhere and updating does not work. Also I am using a generic usb to micro usb cable... not sure if that would cause an issue.
Does anyone have anything for me to try?

same here any help?????????
In order to jump from android to Tizen you need the first release ending with NE9. In order to flash Tizen, put watch into download mode. Hold power button until you see it say rebooting, then tap 5 times. Connect to PC and use Odin to flash stock Tizen firmware.
Download*Odin v3.09
https://mega.co.nz/#!UdRRyCAT!H4FyVxYynNWvXqRNmnpMGQRCP-dG3uykgP2pT4rh8Ek
Extract Odin zip-file
Open Odin v3.09
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes
Reboot and you'll be stock Tizen, first release. In order to upgrade Tizen you can flash the newest firmware the same way.

Help required: Galaxy Tab

I've been searching XDA & Google for about 1 month but can't find a solution. I don't know why everywhere in some threads whenever somebody asks the same problem there's no reply to that question. So I decided to post this question here to try my luck...
Problem & History:
I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000R with DoonLord V_4, it couldn't root it but left the tab with touch problem then I tried to root it with famaroot various versions, I then again tried to root it with z4root V_1.3.0, all attempts were useless, I don't know which attempt of them, made my tab unable to connect to pc even in download mode.
When I set my tab to connect to Kies or Media it shows that it's connected but PC doesn't detect it. Please help...
Tab Specification:
Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 (Rogers)
Firmware Version: GB 2.3.6
Baseband Version: P1000XXJR2
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 ([email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXJU2

Thanks for your reply but I have already gone through this post but as I mentioned problem is that PC doesn't detects it even when I put the Tab in DL mode. Is there any method to root it? So that I could use Mobile Odin to restock it.
It is an usb-driver problem and not rooting, I'm 99% sure of it. It's the PC that HAS to find the Tab first.
Hmmmm

I've tried on another PC and with another USB cable but in vain. Other Smartphones connect it without any problem.
Any smartphone or the P1000 are not the same. I have had on multiple occasions that even Samsung Kies did not recognise it and had to reinstall Kies. Same for the Samsung Mobile phones drivers. And don't forget to reboot your PC after installing drivers.
Keep on trying because it is still going into download mode and logic tells it should be accessible. Does the PC give a notification like driver not found or similar?
NO.

No. There's no activity in PC when I connect it. It neither shows new hardware found nor any other notification like unrecognized device etc.
BTW I have reinstalled Kies, updated it, uninstalled it, installed separate drivers for Samsung USB but no gain...
One last option, let the battery become completely empty (0% charge). Recharge and try again, it rescued my tab once after a bad flash.
That is to my knowledge the last resort.
Alas!

What version of windows are you on? Because windows 8 is a *****, Vista or 7 should work.
(Or GNU-Linux). And have you tried Heimdall already? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323527
Heimdall download https://code.google.com/p/heimdall-one-click/downloads/list
Get a stock ROM and how to use Heimdall (these are old instructions so there could be newer versions available).
-----------Heimdall install instructions ------------------
1. Download Heimdall.
2. Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) and install it. Download it here List All Devices.
5. From the USB Device list chose "Samsung USB Composite DEvice".
6. Press "Install Driver", click "Yes" to the prompt and if you receive
a message about being unable to verify the publisher of the driver
click "Install this driver software anyway".
7. Done. This only needs to be done once.
-----------How to use Heimdall-------------------------
1. Put your tab into download mode - Power off Tab, once powered down hold power and the volume down button at the same time. You will see a android digging.
2. Start Heimdall
3. Hook your tab up to your PC or MAC and you will see a progress bar. That must say Ready to get heimdall to work.
4. Find you Firmware and unzip it until you see the following files below.
(NOTE: when you first unzip your firmware it may unzip into a .tar file unzip the .tar file to get the files below.)
a. Zimage
b. FactoryFS.rfs
c. Param.lfs
d. Boot.bin
e. SBL.bin - not always included
f. cacher.rfs
g. dbdata
h. modem.bin - not always included
5. Place each of those files in their correct spot and hit start.
ONE BIG NOTE: if you use a PIT file do NOT select repartition. It might brick your tab as heimdall has a problem when selecting repartition w/ a pit file. It is ok to use the pit file just make sure repartition is unchecked.
(Use ODIN for repartition with pit)
Got it working...
Thanks buddy, I bought a half dozen of USB cables for the tab and got it working with one of them at last... I don't know but I thought it was the last way out to try different cables... And at last, I got it working after long...
Please let me know the correct way of rooting, as DoomLord v. 4 has already failed to root it. Please guide if possible... I have a Ragers (Canada) Tab. GT-P1000R

Bricked Korean Note 5 (SM-N920L) in Europe. Any options other than trashing it?

I got a cheap Note 5 from Amazon.co.uk that was shipped from South Korea. It looked like a used/refurbished SM-N920L in pristine condition, which at the time I thought it was fine with the price. I've soon found out the battery was at the end of its life since it was rebooting when under heavy use around 50% in Sweden's cold, so I was considering going somewhere to change it. But summer came and I forgot about that, now with Autumn with one of these reboots it wouldn't turn on anymore, only showing Galaxy Note 5 on the screen. I can boot into Download Mode (power down + home + power buttons), but I cannot boot into recovery mode (power up + home + power buttons).
I tried to flash different versions of the original firmware with Odin on Windows but it stopped at the Initialization stage. Tried flashing twrp and same thing.
Installed adb and Android Studio in Linux to try anything with adb and fastboot but it won't list the device when it's connected in download mode, maybe because I never enabled debug tools while running the device. (?)
I went to the official Samsung Repair service here in Sweden and they said they don't fix non-European versions (why is the "hardware region locked"??), and only Korea's Samsung Service would repair it but of course they wouldn't ship it there. It's obviously outside Amazon's seller warranty options (it was 30 days only).
Are there any options of things I could try to revive the device? Or things I could do with it instead of trashing it?
I thought about forcing the back open (I don't have a suction cup) and trying to disconnect the battery, but I doubt that would do anything.

Tried different firmware versions, from different models even, different usb cable, different ports on multiple computers, all ways exactly the same.
I was thinking, if I do a NAND Erase and start from scratch, where would I get a PIT file for the firmware?

First please confirm if it's original handset bcoz I had seen lot of China fakes for the Samsung note 5.
Secondly I think you have to search hard for the Pit files if I had the link then I would have shared but I don't so try to check few videos on Samsung note 5 pit files in YouTube so that you get proper idea of whole thing.
Usually pit files are searched for locked device like example FRP LOCK etc.
I had done an FRP lock reset on SAMSUNG A5 bcoz of the FRP lock.

That's what I think might be the problem, when I get into download mode it has FRP LOCK: ON. But how do I disable FRP lock with only Download mode access?

You should have mentioned that frp is locked, as I said search in YouTube for how to disable frp. I'm sure you will find it there.
For that you will need combination files for your device to reset everything off which will take you back to lollipop. Once frp is disabled you will have to flash marshmallow & later on nougat stock firmware. You can thank me later on.

No dice. I had already googled about unlocking FRP but most results involve some APK while running the OS, or something on the OS. Or flashing something with Odin. But Odin always stops at the Initialization step.
It's a refurbished 920L from Korea, so they could have mix matched other pieces that are failing the device identification (when I unplug or reboot while on the Initialization Odin fails with "FAIL (DeviceInfo)"). Kies also doesn't recognize the device.
Is there a way to flash a firmware in a Note5 without Odin?
I tried adb on Linux but it also doesn't list the device.

I guess odin is the only way to do it.
Sounds like the NAND chip may have fried. May be a cause of the frequent reboots. Might also explain why you cant get to anything except download mode, since thats the only thing that isnt stored on the chip.
