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?

I bought a Korean version of Note8 N950N. I am having some problems using it in Bangladesh. For example, I can't turn off camera sound, Bixby search results in Korean language etc. Now I want flash N950F Rom. Is it possible to flash N950N to N950F without tripping Knox ? if yes, then how ?
Thanks in advance.
I think you can change CSC to Bangladesh CSC but you need Root your phone and that will trip knox.

not sure if we can simply flash another region stock rom over another.
As long as its same CPU class

I don't care about Samsung pay or health. But I need secure folder and OTA update. That's why I do not want to root/trip knox. Any other method will be very much appreciated. I tried using odin. Though both of the device have same hardware, but it doesn't allow me to do so.
One of the reasons why N950F firmware won't work on our N950N model is because of the PIT (Partition Information Table).
PIT is unique to a specific model number and storage capacity. So if you try installing N950F firmware, the information contained within that PIT doesn't correspond with what the N950N is expecting and will fail.
I read a lot of threads about Galaxy Note 8 carrier locked and unlocked firmware flashing guides in here but one thing I couldn't get clear of was that how to know that which firmware version with the following csc will be compatible to your bootloader if you are already having flashed note 8 with unlocked software on your carrier locked device.
I am having a Galaxy Note 8 bought from AT&T but it is running on firmware with active CSC code XAA which is for Unlocked US models and the baseband version is N950USQU1AQI9 which I checked on internet is the firmware of US Cellular carrier. So anyone can please help me If I want to Update my Firmware with Odin and I still want to have the unlocked device features then what files shall I choose. Please Help.
Greetings,
I just picked up a Note 9 SM-N9600 Its unlocked. Currently out of the box with just slipping in the SIM and setup works with no issuess.
Cricket Wireless in the US (aka ATT network)
I haven't flashed or rooted/roms since my Note 3 days. So i just want to be clear on the proper firmwares.
I currently have the following, and would like to flash it to Pie 9 since there is no OTA update i can detect at this time. I do not care what firmware as long as i can still use the phone I do not care about SAMSUNG PAY. That being said something real strange about this phone is the CSC code. It reads TTT/TTT/PCT. I know PCT is puerto rico. I don't know what the TTT is for. Isn't the order for CSC. Sim1/Sim2/Original country?
below is my devices info. Im trying to put my head around this. I downloaded SamFirm_v0.3.6 used the PCT for Region. I came back with this stuff to download PIE. Honestly i do not care if its flashed to some US based firmware unbranded if this is even an option?

hi,
Somehow my Galaxy note 9 i purchased form Dubai is showing SM-N960F/DS in the software information, but actually the device is SM-N960N model with single sim which is a Korean model. The seller actually made a software customization to work the dual sim and the device is also rooted.I can not see any software update options on the settings list. I have tried to install the Indian firmware using Odin, but nothing works.
So is there any solutions to change the firmware to Indian??
I would recommend that you install the stock N960N OS back onto your device. You can change the language interface to Indian, during the setup process after you installed the OS

So I bought Note 9 in Indonesia with XID firmware, and I tried to change it to Australian XSA firmware so I can use Australian Samsung Pay. I was thinking the process should be easy since Indonesian and Australian Note 9 has the same version (F/DS, Exynos, Dual Sim Hybrid), but turns out its not. When I flashed it with XSA firmware the phone somehow detect the Switzerland AUT firmware. I re-checked the tar file, re downloaded from different website, tried to flash the Switzerland AUT firmware too, tried to flash with Odin and Odin 3B, and the result is still the same.
Is this a common problem? I just want to be able to use Samsung Pay on my Note 9.
These are the download source that I get the firmware from
