I'm trying to downgrade from one ui to oreo to get photo editor Pro back on my device but I'm struggling to find the correct firmware on sammobile, my model number is SM-N950F and I'm in the UK on virgin mobile network (who use EE) so not sure if I use the EE firmware as the only match I can see in the phones settings is under Service provider SW ver. Where BTU is written multiple times and UK BTU is an option in the firmware list. Just don't want to flash the wrong one. Any help appreciated.

You should be okay using the LAST oreo firmware for BTU.
Since you said you have multiple BTU like this:
BTU/BTU/BTU
Dial *#1234# in dailer and look at the CSC: line if you see "OXM" in the n950FOXM.... then you have a multi-CSC firmware. So you'll can use the BTU with the multi-CSC OXM.
Just be on a cautious side going back to oreo needs a factory reset! So BACKUP first!
What does the photo editor pro do that the regular photo editor in PIE doesn't do?
Hello,
I have refurbished unlocked Note 8 and recently when checking for updates realised it hasn't received any security updates since Sept 2018 but says it's up to date. When further investigating with Phone Info app it showed following message on Refurbishment check: It looks like the firmware has been modified. Your phone doesn't have active CSC code, CSC version and CSC country.
When searched the imei number it says it's been made in India, I live in Europe. Do you have any advice what can I do? I read I could flash stock firmware but how do I find the right one? Should I do it for the country I live in or the one phone has been manufactured for? I haven't done anything like this and I don't want to brik my phone. Any help is much appreciated

My s10 exynos phone is from Australia and was rooted when I bought it. I got it online. I used frija and odin to install latest stock firmware. All done and good but network is not registered. I live in Oman. Base firmware shown in mobile is BTU and Active firmware reads as TEL. I installed firmware with CSC MID, XSG, INS but all does not help.
Did I do something wrong ?
I bought myself a supposedly brand-new, in-box SM-N960F/DS (so this is the dual-SIM version of the Note 9) using the Exynos 9810 from an online retailer in SEA. As it turns out, the phone has an Android patch level of Nov 2019, so I wanted to update it to the latest Android version available for the phone (Nov 2021). And that's when I found out that my set was an imported set from some other country in SEA, and about Samsung's *wonderful* CSC region-locking 'feature'.
Okay, so basically, I'm going to try to go to a Samsung service centre to see if they can change the CSC on my new phone so that I can receive OTA updates. Failing which, and this is the reason I am making this post, I would like to change the CSC myself and update the phone - using Odin, if I have to.
The phone is using what I believe to be stock ROM with a baseband version of N960FXXS4CSJ1, and a Service provider SW ver. of SAOMC_SM-N960F_OXM_XXV_PP_0010. From what I was able to gather, this means that I have a multi-CSC (OXM) firmware, but it is currently set to generic Vietnam (XXV). The two CSC combinations currently reported are XXV/XME,XXV/SKC.
Now, I have tried to change the CSC by using Google Phone and dialling the *#*#27262826#*#*, and that didn't work for whatever reason. I tried the *#272*IMEI#, and that didn't work either, for whatever reason. I guess I will have to flash a new firmware in myself.
I currently have downloaded via Bifrost both the XXV and the XME latest firmware versions (Security level Nov 2021 as of now). I do not intend to root the phone or anything like that (that said, AIDA64 reports that my device is rooted, for whatever reason). I have also downloaded the Samsung USB drivers for Windows and Odin 3.14.1 (both patched and unpatched). I don't know where I can get the OXM version of the firmware, which would be best, because dual-SIM allows me to slot in an Aussie SIM when I do travel over there.
I would greatly appreciate it if I could be advised as to whether I can simply flash the XME firmware and then receive OTA updates thereafter, or do I flash the XXV firmware and keep a watchout for future updates manually. Or, indeed, what my other options are. Step-by-step instructions would be nice, although I intend on following the tutorial as listed here: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-update-samsung-galaxy-smartphone/
Hopefully, I will retain the dual-SIM functionality, along with VoLTE, Wi-Fi Calling, Call recording, and so on and so forth.
Thanks in advance!
just download latest firmware for your phone from here https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ (you can select country and operator)
put your phone on download mode and flash with odin. Done!
Does that mean I can disregard what the current CSC is, and I can choose whichever CSC (country) I am currently in regardless of what the Note 9 is set to at the moment?
Greetings all; would appreciate any insights as to whether it will be safe to flash the XME or XXV firmware into my device. I'm more than happy to provide additional information if that would help.
I purchased an unlocked S10 from Best Buy in Canada and it ended up being a US version of the phone (Samsung support says it's originally from AT&T). It currently has One UI 3.1, Android 11, and the December 1, 2021 patch - all of which appear to be outdated - but attempting a software update on the phone says the software is up to date and Smart Switch also says there's no update.
I've spoken to 8 or 9 Samsung agents but, to put it politely, they've been completely useless and my local Samsung store said they "won't even touch" my phone because it's from the US. I know people will say to flash the new firmware with Odin, but I'm using a mac and Odin seems to be Windows-only. Is there any way for me to get updates on my phone?
