Help required with this guys if possible.
I bought a Samsung galaxy note 5, when I go to settings, about the model number comes up as a SM-N920F N920FUBS3BPJ1. But when I put the phone in download mode the phone shows it as a SM-SM920T model. The question is, can I flash this with odin with the new version 7 software to obtain the newest firmware. also can anyone tell me what the original stock firmware was,I'm in the UK and the phone is unlocked and presently using it on vodafone. Thanks.
hello , i bought an used note 8 dual sim yesterday . the model on the back cover of the device is N950FD , the software installed is not official ( no knox folder , no update option , magisk installed ), i checked imei on google and the model is N950N, then i boot into download mode (volume down ,bixby and power button ) the language it seems like Korean . how to know what is the true model to flash official software ? or can i just install any software model to it (like middle east) ?
If the download mode language is Korean then you have a Korean device and need to install the N950N OS.
Hi All Developers!
I Have a big issue
Recently I bought a used Note 9 Which Shows Different Model Numbers
When I dial *#11111# it shows N60N.001 Model
And from Setting it shows SM-N960F Model
And it still runs on Android 9
And also there is no option for software update in Setting
So please provide me a link from where I can update this phone
My phone baseband version is
N960NKOU3ASG1
Please Help about updating my phone to Android 10
Thank you!

I am assuming you have a refurbished note 9 that is SM-N960N korean version with modified software that shows N960F because N960F has more value in market.
But sadly you got korean note 9 which is fine in most cases but if you want to upgrade the software to android 10 you have to flash N960N firmware via odin tool.
If your phone is dual sim you will lose dual sim capability if you flash N960N firmware because N960N never came with dual sim variant.some refurbishing companies they clone the main Imei to dual imei so it can convert single sim to dual sim "software wise" but its actually faked 2nd imei.

Make sure choose dual sim patch option when you flash the rom.
Thank you very much for giving a full tutorial to me.
@Trex888 Will this restore the mobile to Official status or it will still be rooted? And will we encounter any problems with wifi or the network we use?
Also, in our country we have to pay tax for each IMEI, will my IMEI change as well?

Is your device 2nd hand? If it is then I believe it has been rooted.

The box still had the retail seals on it? Then your device maybe brand new. In which case I would return it to the retailer and ask for a replacement.
I cannot return beacuse , i bought it from Dubai and i am in India. Thats why opted for firmware updation.

You can try reinstalling the stock OS back onto your device using Odin and see if that helps.
Same issue

Did flashing the stock firmware help ?
FOUND the answer
I HAVE found the source, i have a phone with same exact situation as the person who started this thread and i did some investigating and i found out my model is actually the korean variant of the note 9 single sim converted to duos variant F model with dual sim tray installed, meaning if you go to download mode you will be greeted by Korean and once you press volume up, you can see in the top left that its actually SM-N960N variant, but if you check the imei in the phone it will say its the F variant meaning imei have also been changed.
So if you flash stock rom you will lose dual sim status and probably enjoy korean language on the welcome page on loading up the phone and might even lose 4g 3g connectivity cause korean 4g/3g bands are different compared to india.

This is a risky procedure, we may loose our imei numbers or lose 4g connectivity, so for now ill stick with this rom, flashing the stock firmware and then upgrading to android 10 and redoing the entire conversion again from an N variant to an F/DS variant might be an option but that requires tools and skill, that is not easy.

No, you won't as the Korean N960N is essentially the same as the N960F (single SIM model). They are both GSM devices and will run on any global GSM Cell network. I have a N960N and I am using it on a Hong Kong Cell network and I get excellent coverage.
Also you can change the language during the Setup process, I believe it is on the bottom of the screen. I can't remember as it has been a while since I setup a Note 9.

Issue being we might loose our changed imeis if we flash stock firmware because the current imeis are not the original imei for the N variant but show up as F variant instead.
Hello, I have the exact same problem as the two of you above.
My question is have you found a way of updating to android 10?
Did you unroot the device or is the device still rooted?
If yes, how did you do it?
And is the device functioning properly?
I have this exact problem too. Is there any solution. Cos this OS I'm using is frustrating me

What options do we have in order to update to a later version? Is it possible to flash a stock ROM downloaded using Bifrost, and will that have any impact on the IMEIs and serial number? Can Knox be 'untripped' or the phone unrooted?
Hello,
Recently i bought a used Japanese Docomo Note 8 (snapdragon), i believe that the stock rom is tweaked/upgraded/modified to accept my local carrier in Malaysia.
I did a search and found that Snapdragon chip is only available on SM-N950U/SM-N9500 version but it appears that my phone model number in "about phone" is SM-N950F.
As far as i know that N950F is using Exynos SoC.
I am now having trouble to install and use Shealth together with others banking app or even Samsung Pay.
I checked my chipset from CPUz and it is indeed a Snapdragon but running on SM-N950F version of firmware.
this is my current firmware information:-
BL : N950FXXS5DSC5
AP : N950FXXS5DSC5
CP : N950FXXS5DSC5
CSC : N950FOXM5DSB2
HW REV : N950JPN.04
(More on details on my attached screenshot)
I downloaded latest firmware for N950F and flash with latest Odin, result is fail attempt with "secure check fail : pit"
I have limited knowledge on Samsung Note 8 firmware and hoping that you can enlighten me.
My plan is to identify what is going on with the current stock firmware and if possible to flash back to Original stock rom (CSC: XME) or perhaps any Multi-CSC stock firmware.
Or is it save to just using custom rom with bricking the device?
