Ok I'm hoping somebody can please help me! I've been searching for a long time now (5+ months) and I FINALLY found a Note 8 that had a Baseband version of 5 (b/c from my understanding, the bootloader/Basebands 6 and up CANNOT be downgraded via Odin)
So I bought the phone, and was all excited to finally get Android Version 8 (Oreo) back on my phone (there's a specific reason I really want Version 8 Oreo on my phone)
So I downloaded Odin, updated my usb drivers on my computer, and then when it came to downloading the correct firmware, I then realized that I couldn't find ANY version 8 Oreo Firmware with the Baseband 5 version!!!! They were all 4s or 3s...
So am I just s*** outta luck or what? Or maybe I just haven't looked in the right places or what?? PLEASEEE someone help....I'd appreciate it Sooooo much ...thanks

Wait so that custom ROM is Android Version 8/Oreo though? And is it for Baseband 5? Also, aren't the firmware that u load onto it phone with Odin have to be specifically for your model phone? Sorry for all the questions...I just really don't know about this stuff.....
But yaa...if it's for sure going to work for my Note 8 (SM-N950N)...then ya send the download link...thx

Hi guys,
I just replaced my note 3 after 14 days and switched to the note 4. I was liking the note 3 and already rooted it and had a great custom rom on it. But something was calling me to get the note 4, so here I am. This is probably answered somewhere, and I tried searching the threads, but I'm getting old and I think I just can't find anything anymore. So quick question, I'll probably run stock for a couple of days just to get a feel for it as I usually do but I wanted to know is there any concerns I should have for rooting the note 4? besides the Knox issue, which is not really a concern for me. I'm currently on stock android 4.4.4, with ANJ7 firmware. I'm seeing a 128.37 MB software update from tmobile, anyone know what this update is? and if I should not download it , because of rooting concerns? Not sure if its just a security update or something...
Thanks for any help given from a long time xda member since before android on my ancient mogul windows mobile pda .
Ok I think I might have answered my own question, I couldn't wait no longer so just did the update and its just updated the firmware to K4, which I see is already supported on the latest custom roms.

The Note 4 and Note 3 are basically exactly the same as far as ROOTING
is concerned and both are rooted in the same manner exactly.
Here is a direct download link for the latest cf-autoroot which has everything
you need to root the N9010 Note 4, it has the windows odin and cf-autoroot
which is specifically designed to work with the Note 4 N910T:

The 128.37 MB software update will upgrade your phone to the latest NK4
baseband and I would highly recommend to go ahead and make the upgrade.
Good luck and have a great evening.

I don't know, I had tried to flash a russian ROM and it failed, had to reinitialize via kies
I've flashed on my phone lots of roms with odin, the only time one failed was a Serbian ROM, but I thought it was because the download failed.
As soon as I finish downloading this I'll report if it works.

Link to SM-G900H Lollipop (5.0)
True indeed. Unfortunately I can't post the link but send me a message if interested. Nevertheless, I will see if I can post a Mega link after some time.
I wonder if someone can change this rom to custom. So we can flash it easily from recovery. Please guys we want a stock custom rom.
plz post mega link

Exynos update is only available in one region, though it’s only a matter of time before the update becomes available to others either through Samsung Kies, an OTA or both methods. To check for the OTA, you can always head to Settings> System> About Device> Software Update.:thumbup::thumbup::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

How to install kazakstan firmware to india s5 exynos octa????
hi i have downloaded the kazakstan firmware and i want to install it to s5 india..
my phone is not rooted
please tell me how can i install the firmware?
I am on my 3rd reinstall, first I upgraded via Odin on top of kitkat, and system was too slow, 2nd I rooted via auto root (It works btw) and apparently I deleted with Titaniun Backup something important and system refused to boot. 3rd reinstall I just rooted and deleted some bloatware and everything is working ok. This is Multilingual btw. overall not so fast no so slow, I use cm12 official nightly in another device and its just a bit slower. Used Sammobile link to get the file
Hi! i downloaded it today and it's running now! works great! i don't know how to root the device with android 5
It works perfectly. Although I tried different versions of the country. Can we root that? Is anyone try to root it?
Hi guys can someone quickly explain how i can use TWRP to flash my note 8 N950N (Korean branded) with a N950F rom off sammobile. I've never used this program before and want to make sure I can use the N950F rom. Can someone point me in the right direction please or give a lil tutorial it would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
If you've never used TWRP you may want to watch some YouTube tutorials before you jump in. It is very simple to use but also easy to mess your phone up if you don't know what you're doing.
And where does it say you should use twrp ?
Sammobile firmwares are not twrp flashable. At least try to read a thing or two...

Help what is the original firmware for this phone
That's an International model, you can flash whatever country firmware you want.
No I want to flash stock firmware back to it, and you could be right but I have not read that anywhere. Yeah I see the film where for every other variant but the G called Samsung they offered me no help because it wasn't international version. I do have a rooted now but I lost most of my functions with the S Note and Spen.

There are LOTS of different firmwares you can install because the SM-N920G was sold in many countries. Just use Odin to install whatever version you like the most, check out the attached screenshots. If you wanna feel like you did it right, select a firmware that could be compatible with your country, but there is no wrong or right firmware for a G model, because it is international.
Wow it's 4 am I did not expect to get a response so quickly and so thoroughly will put thank you very much.
Hey bro I got that right but I'm trying too hard and I am stuck on the team win screen so I can't get into the recovery how do I get out of that boot loop please and thank you
Hey thank you very much XDA members your advice is always the best even though being new sometimes I don't quite understand it but I was able to fix my first bricked phone it took 3 or 4 days figure it out but I got everything in the pass and now I'm going to try to reboot it again lots of love
i just upgraded my note 9 SM-N960F from dutch 8.1.0 to German 9.0 pie via Odin . and to be honest im so disappointing with this UI and the whole update i was wondering if is it still possible to downgrade back to Oreo again ???
thanks alot
I think that it should be possible with Odin but honestly I never done it before so don't know. By the way, is the black mode feature implemented it this version of Pie in the toggles or in settings ?
Because I read someware that the initial version of this black mode or night mode or however it's called is not fully implemented like the final version should be.
toggles and settings both of them in night mode , but its not stable i have the feeling its slower my phone down some unknows issus
First try clear cache in recovery mode maybe can resolve. also try to update apps with play store or with galaxy apps because some apps must need an update to the pie version.. After that if all is worthless, maybe a factory reset will resolve Sometimes corrupted data may do this after an update specially after a big OS change like this.

Hey let me know if you succeed, as I’m thinking of downgrading as well. ONE UI PIE-9 isn’t all it’s made out to be Oreo 8.1 rocks!

Im sorry but the page of the link you provided could not be found. Model # is SM-N960F/DS. Im pretty sure I was on Oreo 8.1, I just recently bought this Note 9 in Thailand from the official Samsung Store.

If you want to go back to Thailand firmware,it's one of the two versions here (MYM) or (THL) :

Please try now it's fixed sorry about that!!
These are all the firmware’s i found for your country as there are 2 provider for you country Thailand.. (SEE PIC) i got a feeling you will be on (THL) i could be wrong man I’m not 100% sure.. i hope someone answers you as i am kind of guessing, I don’t want to mess up your NOTE-9 for you!
i heard somewhere flashing wrong firmware, can make you lose OEM LOCK!! Why not try this launch SAMFIRM.EXE and input firmware from pic or try this first launch SAMFIRM.EXE and select auto to see if it picks up the firmware you need to download Oero 8.1!!
I have never used ODIN before and wanted to know if I need to be rooted to be able to downgrade from Pie to last Oreo firmware?
Also if doing so will cause a factory reset and will I loose the data.
Thanks.

No root is needed to dowgrade!! You will lose all your data! So make a back up before you proceed!

Will that affect Knox and Secure Folder feature in anyway?
If not, then this seems to be the Samsung approved official method of flashing firmware. Is that so?

No Knox will stay 0x0 as your flashing official firmware.. Root and Roms trip Knox and secure folder S,Health etc. So you can flash away regular firmware without any issues!

I'm hoping someone can further clarify the steps needed to downgrade to Oreo. I have the 96OU unlocked US version and I upgraded using the modded Odin method for US Snapdragon versions in the Guides section. I do not like the carrier bloat that was added to my phone and would like to revert back to 8.1. I went to SamMobile and looked up my firmware which I believe is N96OU1UEU1ARL1, my actual model is SMN96OU1ZKFX. I have downloaded Odin3 v3.13.1. I originally used Odin3 v3.13.1 3B patchedD to upgrade. Do I run Odin (non-patched) then input the BL, AP, CP and CSC files from the extracted 1ARL1 file and select Auto reboot and F.Reset Time only, not re-partition? Can I use the patched version of Odin if I want?
I have been looking for a step by step tutorial for this but just can't find one.
