So I brought a galaxy note 9 renewed fro. Amazon during the xmas holidays. The phone is running android 10 one Ui 2.0. And unwanted to update to 2.5 and update the security level from March 2020. The phone said it's running the latest software, when I plug it into my PC and run smart switch theres no update available for it. Any help would be appreciated
Samsungs have another way of installing firmware via PC called Odin.
You can find Odin on google (or even here in XDA by searching) and the steps would be as follows:
->Install Samsung USB drivers from their site
->Download your phone's firmware from sites like sammobile, samfrew or use something like frija to download it
->Boot the phone into download mode and connect to PC
->Start loading up the necessary files in Odin
->Flash
->Profit
I would look up a video on Youtube to be on the safe side, there are quite a few that tell you how to flash firmware with Odin, I'm pretty sure you'd also be able to find a tutorial specifically for the Note 9
I was sceptical about it because last Time I used Odin I got a failed at the end and didnt want to brick the phone

My Galaxy S has:
PDA: I9000JHJP8
PHONE: I9000JHJP5
CSC: I9000PTRJP8
Build info: 2010 . 10
When I try to update it via Kies(I have the newest version of kies installed) it shows me that theres an update is available and when I press Update it sais the I9000 Was disconected, a few seconds after the phone gets recognised by Kies again, and again I try to update, it looses the phone then finds it again, USB is fine so whats wrong? How to I update? I am not disconecting the phone in any part of the process...
Kies has some issues and is responsible for a lot of bricked phones, i would say if you want the newest firmware then flash it yourself thru a program called 'Odin'
you can download the newest firmwares from www.samfirmware.com (registering takes 2 mins) and its all official.. or type in the search bar above 'I9000 stock firmware'
just be sure to do a little reading before going ahead to fully understand what to do, or you could become another victim of a bricked phone... there are instructions on how to use odin on the samfirmware website, (it can sound confusing but its easy)
Turn Firewall OFF .

Someone wit the same problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962237
after playing with Kies for two days I gave up. The newest version could not find updates, version 1.5 with a patcher found updates but still old ones. As azzledazzle wrote try Odin. It is really easy and reliable. I was wary first, but now I switched to using CWM and have Odin as backup in case something goes wrong. Never failed. And it's fast.
hi all
kies refer to firmware upgrade. every times I start windows but when i follow the instuctions shows the latest version is installed is there any relations wit upgrading to gingerbread
what exactly does you mean mate? are you already in gingerbread? if so, you hae to make sure :
1. the battery is full
2. quality of connection
3. back up the data
4. plug n play for about 45' (my experience upgrading firmware dxjpc - dxjpe)
no i am in froyo
every times i start windows a pop up note in the tray indicate that there are firmware upgrade aviable for my galaxy tab click here to procede
clicking open kies but it says this is the latest firmware installed
any update please?
When you start windows the pop up that you see might be the "kies update" not the firmware update. My systems(both on windows 7 and xp) will not tell me of a firmware update for the tab unless I start kies and connect my tab to the pc.
2 things you can do for us to see your problem:
1. do this on the phone app-*#1234# and post here the result OR
2. better still post here what kies says about your firmware:
like: PDA= PHONE= CSC= (sales code here)
then somebody here can answer you....
this is the result
pda p1000jpjm5
phone p1000jxjm2
csc p1000jpjm6
the kies is uptodate . the pop up note telling that ther are firmware upgrading for your
phnone
i heard samsung offered gingerbread to galaxy tab 7 middle east edition is that make sense to the note above
thanks for help

There is still no official kies update for your tab which is Arabic firmware.....
Hello,
I am not new to flashing stuff on android devices, but new to dealing with this tablet.
I was looking to find an old firmware that would support GSM voice calls as seen on that well-known gsmarena.com video that shows it.
I was running the latest available Clockworkmod recovery as found in the development section and on top of that - [4.1.1][PORT][P7300/P7310] AOSP Android 4.1.1 Stable[11-08-2012]
So I fired up Odin 1.85 and downloaded the oldest available Open Europe firmware (Honeycomb 3.1) available on sammobile.com
The result was the tablet's screen would not light up but it would still have the Samsung boot sound and the short vibration that notifies of the OS startup. The display is black, nothing shows up but the tablet is indeed running.
I am still able to enter Bootloader/Download mode by guessing the time it takes to get there but flashing more recent firmwares from sammobbile is not helping. Still no display.
Any ideas on how badly I managed to f*ck this up?
Edit: Could an old firmware version have fried the display? nothing I manage to flash gets it running... this is so bad.
Edit: Oh wait, the display actually works, but only displays distorted images, a pile of pixelated garbage.
zohmygoodness
Edit: Really, would someone please try and dump their bootloader using ADB shell?
The Open Europe region firmware I flashed and caused the problem has a bootloader in the package so this must be the reason the display is not properly initialized.
Could someone knowledgable enough please provide an ODIN flashable 3.2 bootloader for Tegra 2 P7300 - I do not know if it is possible to dump it from a device. I really need your help.
I am currently downloading almost every 3.2 ROM available on sammobile.com in search of a bootloader.
RESOLVED
Okay, I managed to bring the tab back to life - it only cost me a one month subscription to Hotfile Premium in order to be able download all available firmwares from sammobile.com and search for one that comes with a bootloader.bin.m5
The solution came with Hong Kong. The following firmware release contains a working 3.2 bootloader for the Galaxy Tab 8.9 GT-P7300: should someone ever (and I hope they never) end up in the same situation as me:
Cant post links just yet. Simply visit sammobile.com, do a search for P7300 and download the 3.2 firmware for Hong Kong
I have a GT-N7000 Galaxy Note which I won in a competition in the UK from Samsung, so it was already unlocked when I got it and can put in any SIM Card I want into it.
It originally came with Gingerbread - I've updated so that the phone is now rooted and currently has android 4.0.4
I want to upgrade to Jellybean but I'm confused by all the various ways there seem to be to update it.
At present I have totally reset the phone and installed Kies on my PC (windows 7 32bit)
When I connect the phone Kies says there is an upgrade
CURRENT FIRMWARE VERSION : PDA:LRQ / PHONE:LRK / CSC:LRQ(DBT)
LATEST FIRMWARE VERSION: PDA:LSZ / PHONE:LSO / CSC:LSZ(DBT)
I'm kinda scared to do an official firmware upgrade because the last time I tried an OTA update it failed although nothing bad seemed to happen to my phone but I'm really scared of bricking it.
If I use Kies do I loose root?
Do I need to worry about not being on an original Samsung Kernel?
Also I installed several mobile phone tracking software such as Prey Project to my phone - so I'm not 100% sure if it's still there or not after resetting. I can't seem to see any trace of it on the various screens.
Is KIES the safest way to upgrade to JellyBean?
The current state of my phone is full reset (also wiped the USB Storage and SD Card) and as follows:
Android 4.0.4
Baseband
N7000XXLRK
Kernel Version
3.0.15

No, it is not the best to do a upgrade is pc odin after factory reseting the phone on a safe kernel as you are on speedmod it is safe
Just follow this guide. This should be appropriate to upgrade to JB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156242

I would say kies will be the official way to do it ..
I'm a little worried about upgrading via a cable from my PC to the phone in-case I loose the connection
I was having trouble last night simply copying files from the phone to the PC via a datacable
it kept disconnecting after a few seconds.
At first I thought it was software on my phone that was the issue but even after resetting the phone to factory default setting I still got disconnections.
Then I went through my PC and removed any possible causes of problems such as firewall software, antivirus, etc
I only reinstalled windows on my PC a few days ago so there's not much software on the PC but I did remove USB software for my Motorola Phone and I think that's helped. The connection seems a lot more stable now. But doing something as sensitive as a firmware update worries me.
Removing windows software isn't an issue as I've ordered more RAM for my PC to take it up to 8GB and will have to re-install a 64 Bit version of Windows anyway to make use of the extra RAM.
I did come across this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2023907
The file named
ThaiDai_Small_XXLSZ_v1.0_MD5_12395d7c826d3cad45e9e b1e57f9e2a9.zip
Looks appealing because it seems to be a stock ROM but with a lot of Bloatware removed that I wouldn't want anyways.
Is this a good and safe option compared to using PC Odin?
The version of ClockworkMod on my phone is v5.8.1.8
What's the kernel?
That rom is good also there is one by eybee too. Full stock.
I did find this video which seems to show how to use PC Odin really well

Hello all.
My S20FE (SM-G780F) has not updated from OneUi 3 and Android 11. It always says that I'm using the latest software. I've tried factory resetting the phone and using Smart Switch to no avail.
I'm in the UK. Never lived anywhere else. I reside here permanently. It's where I bought my phone brand new.
I checked the service provider software version and it says ZT0/ZTO,ZTO/EUX . However, when I use the dialler method to check the same information it says the CSC is BTL3.
I researched and ZTO seems to refer to Brazil. I've never been to Brazil or anywhere in that vicinity so I don't know why it says ZTO as the service provider information.
Could this be why I'm having issues updating? If the phone thinks it's Brazilian then it would stop me updating if I'm in the UK? Is that correct?
Samsung suggested I send it to them to flash the drive but they require a proof of purchase and as I bought the phone over 2 years ago I can't for the life of me find the original order email.
Just for clarification the phone has never been rooted or modded and all software etc is "official." I've looked into flashing the software with Odin. Would I need ro download the update file for the CSC my phone says it is or for the CSC it should be? Do I only download the latest update or would I have to stack them and download all the previous ones my phone missed too?
Please help before I tear my hair out.
flashing the phone yourself with Odin is very easy, there are dozens of YouTube vids to get an idea from. actually downloading the firmware is more difficult.
whoever sold you the phone is who you should be angry at, it obviously wasn't intended for use here. let me know if you want help flashing!
Same thing happened to my Mom's phone (a Galaxy A series device).
Use this guide and manually flash the latest firmware.
