Works great on my C470! Really happy with it, EMUI 4.0 is definately better than 3.0, really happy with it Xposed also working great.
Only funny thing is that it says "Country: Thailand" in OP, but you cant set your region to Thailand because the option is not there lol.
Which region is this C470?
I think it's either Cambodia or Singapore, not sure about it. Never know what region to expect if you buy a phone in the ASEAN haha!
İ need to c433b180 model please hellp me

You need to be rooted and do some modifications in the system files to enable multiple users. You should Google it, there are a few guides out there on how to do this. Don't really recommended though, theres this bug on some apps that you have installed on both users. If you open the app as a non main user or guest it will not load and instantly crash, and if you go back to your main account it will suddenly do the same. If you reboot the phone it will be uninstalled, together with all the data. It happened to me with Line, and lost all my conversations because of that.
Also, I have no idea what Keyguard is so I am not missing out on much XD

So it's not really compatible with B180? Sad, no suppprt for our model around the web too.
I upgraded from B180 so it should work. Just make sure you are on stock recovery, unroot and have the original ROM on your device first before updating.

Any issues with Xposed. I assume you deodexed the rom for it to work.
I came from C470B180. If you want to go back to stock recovery you should extract it from the rom of the original firmware of your deice, and flash it with adb.
No problems with xposed so far, and yes I deodexed. The xposed for emai topic mentioned some trouble with bluetooth specific stuff but it's all stuff I dont use so for me everything works fine.

Sir,
I have N9208 dual sim note 5 bought in Malaysia. It is not showing volte option with my jio sim but 4g data is working great. The sim when installed on my j7 is showing volte. How to enable volte on my note 5 duos phone. Do i need to install a new rom, if so then which one.
Please help me Sir, i am in a great distress.
Thanks in advance.

I am also using N9208 in malaysia and here no network supports volte only 4g.
That's why it's disabled in the stock rom, you can head over to sam mobile and search for N9208 roms and according to the region where volte works you can download the ROM and report back.
Also after flashing the rom if you want to change CSC, you may have to factory reset.

Hey
I have been searching for a clear answer but couldn't find any.
I am looking for guides and information about how I could possibly install a fresh, stock, "vanilla" version on my Note 8 N950N.
mine is the korean 256GB variant. I can't replace it and i wanted to get the 256GB variant anyway.
but some bloatware and also a few minor annoying "bugs" that are in the korean software is really disturbing me. it gets all confused because i am not really in/from korea. i get plenty of korean marketing **** and more...
I would like to have an international version. have it work seamlessly with my local networks, and also when i go abroad (i will be going to the USA in april).
Preferably i would like to get the Stock version, without rooting anything.
but if i have no choice i would install a custom rom which is the "cleanest" and the one most similar to stock.
please, can anyone write down clearly what are the steps I should do. I would be really thankful.
By the way, if it matters, I live in israel (if need to install a software or modem which are compatible.)
please, help!
thank you very much

Because you can't install F fw on a N without rooting, odin will not let you.
If you don't care about Samsung Pay or Secure Folder, twrp/root & install any custom F based rom you want. Or with root you can remove all the bloatware from your stock fw that you want. Or you can install Weta Rom base only. Weta Rom has the mod installer seperate so if you just want a stock unbloated rom Weta base would be a good choice. Weta is by far my favorite ROM so far & is what I have been running....with the Weta mod though.

I actually don't mind about Samsung Pay. it's not being used in Israel anyway, and what is Secure Folder? i didn't know about it also anyway so i guess it wouldnt bother me.
So what is the process step by step?
1. Root phone.
2. then?
is it possible to root the phone and then install a stock firmware of an F variant? i am not interested in having a custom rom anyway...

Hey man, I tried doing exactly this on my 256GB SM-N950N with @_alexndr's DevBase ROM for the SM-N950F as you linked to above. Skipped the model check, however, I keep getting an error message during the installation process. @_alexndr stated, here in that his DevBase thread, that flashing the SM-N950F ROM on the SM-N950N isn't that straight forward due to different system partition size.
Please would you happen to know of the proper procedure to resizing my SM-N950N partitions so that I can flash the latest SM-N950F Oreo (don't like Android pie) DevBase ROM on it? Thanks in advance.

No, that's still Korean. I'm looking to install the unlocked and unbranded UK CSC on my SM-N950N. However, doing that breaks Bixby and other region-locked Samsung services as they detect my model number isn't in the region. So, I figured installing the SM-N950F ROM would resolve the region locking issue. Similar to how Tkkg1994's Iron Man ROM did it.

i believe by debloating a bit, the total amount of data written to the system partition was reduced to accommodate the N devices. or by pure fluke, maybe dev never intended to reduce data just for the N but just by removing some knox stuff and other unneeded stuff when rooted.

But if I change the CSC to the UK unlocked and unbranded, Bixby starts saying "Ok, I canceled it" to every single 1 of my commands.
Whereas with the Iron Man ROM, which virtually changed my device model number to SM-N950F, and the same UK CSC, everything worked fine. Unfortunately, it's development came to an end long before my Note 8 was even 1 years old.

So you're applying the same CSC patch to both ROMs? Or you mean that a CSC with the same name in Iron Man ROM and in a separate CSC zip behave differently?
My phone is running stock N950N base, with my USA T-mobile CSC patch and Bixby works correctly for a USA Tmobile phone because all its settings are in the CSC config files.

I used Tkkg1994's CSC changer ZIP file in both cases. How did you go about doing your CSC change? If I can simply change to UK unlocked and unbranded CSC while keeping Bixby and every other Samsung service working as normal, I'll be fine with that.
I use the Asian H8296 in Germany with a German provider.
On XperiCheck.Com I see that the firmware update A4 is only for customized hw and tk.
Not for customized DE like the H8266.
Does that mean that I won't get any updates, until I flash a H8266 firmware or use a Hongkong Sim card?
I only see the A4 firmware (8296) for CN on xpericheck. But to answer your question, no you don't need to flash another firmware.
Your phone will get the update whenever it is released for your firmware region, it doesn't matter where in the world you use it. So if your 8296 is on TW firmware, you will get it when Sony releases that one. If you were on CN firmware, your phone would have the A4 update available already.

I had the Honkong Version.
But I flashed now the German H8266 Version via XPeriFIrm and NewFlasher V13.
It deleted my entire phone (not the sdcard), but it was a good decision to get faster updates.
I got A4 and the entire 6GB ram are shown.
The complete OS is German and working perfectly.
Thanks for the info. Hmm, I might do the same then. I had the TW version (had to send it back because the speaker was defective), but the 8266 seems to get updates faster. My only concern was the ram. Does it ever show more than 4GB being used?
Is that the info you need?
PS
Don't install the cn china firmware.
It has no Google apps, but apps with Chinese names.
Nice, it looks good. Thanks! :highfive:
Haha, I had flashed the CN on the one I had too! I reflashed right away when I didn't see any Google apps. :laugh:

I don't know if the Romania firmware is optimized for your mobile network.
My average ram usage is 3.6GB
I assume, that it will consume more ram if you play a 3D game.
I also assume, that future android versions will consume more ram, so my phone is future proof.
I will use it or several years.

Hi, Martin. I also want to flash my Hongkong version as German H8266,
but I cannot find Oreo version yet, I can only find Pie version for German H8266 from Xperiafirm.
I have flashed this version, but it is stalled at accessing google service because I am in mainland China
Thus, I tried the French Oreo version because I found that at Xpericheck.com
For the Oreo, I can get into the system, but OTA to Pie is failed at the end of Stage 1 installation.
Do you know the reason, or could you share me the flashing image for German H8266 Oreo which can get OTA correctly?
Thank you very much.

You could flash the PIE version directly.
I don't know why the french firmware would refuse OTA.
Maybe it's your great firewall in china?
Only restricted google services are allowed in your country.

The dictatorship of china blocked it.
You would need a VPN in your Wifi device (router?).

Yes, I know the wall in China. My router cannot set a VPN,
in Oreo, if Google service cannot be accessed for a while, it can be skipped for next step.
Thus, I want to find a Oreo version to flash and OTA to Pie.

well global firmware(if there is such a thing) would be more towards the n960f since it is more popular and also the same same chipset as ure phone. its sold in UK, greater asia, india, Oceania etc...)
the n9600 is a snapdragon chip. and only sold in china and south America.
but regardless you cant flash stock firmware on different model devices. its a known fact.
if you root then u can flash custom n960f roms no problem on the n960n.(i have it too and been flashing all sorts of custom roms made for the F variant)

thank you for the answer I want to flash stock ROM but not the Korean version, because I don't want to lose the features on One UI ... if you use a custom ROM what do you mean? is there a tutorial for a problem like this?

u cannot flash any other stock firmware than n960n with odin.
if you want to flash a custom rom.zip , you need to install twrp recovery and root. this will void warranty and also trip knox and some services will no longer work:
samsung pay
might be others.
please read the guides and discussion forums for more information on rooting.

what do you think, because I am a beginner I better use the current stock ROM (N960N) or have to replace another ROM? actually I just don't like Korean accents and Korean network operator logos when I turn it on or trun off my device because I'm already outside Korea. then what is the ROM recommendation for me?

As a beginner the best and most important thing you need to do is research and read up on these topics.
Head over to the development forum and see what each rom offers and choose the one which sounds most suitable for you.
None of us can answer whats best for you dude only you know that.
The nice thing is you can flash and try out as many roms as you want!

ok. then yeah just check the dr. ketan root oem fix guide in the guide and dicsussion sections.
I too want to flash the Spanish stock ROM, so as to get rid of d the bloatware and also to use Samsung Pay. A friend of mine told me to buy the Korean version and then flash the Spanish stock ROM, which he did with his note 8 and didn't trigger Knox. I'm getting the Secure Check Fail: Bootloader error when trying to flash with Odin, it's stuck at SYSTEM flashing. Don't know what to do anymore, tried rebooting everything, changing USB ports, running Odin as an admin, and flashing different versions of Android.
Can anyone help?

you say that u bought a sm-n960n (was told to)
then u say that you were aslo told to flash a spanish firmware from a sm-n960f device.
that is very very misleading.
again, you cannot flash firmware from a different model.
your buddy gives the best advice. he is your friend. listen to him always.

Strongly agree to you ....

I know for a fact that the Korean variant of the Note 9 and the international variant both run on the exact same hardware. With the only differences being in the bloatware included with the Korean variant. So theoretically speaking installing the Spanish N960F/D variant's OS onto the N960N should work perfectly without any issues

it work only if you flash a custom ROM, even thought they are the same but you cannot flash a F/D firmware with odin in N model, it mos be a bootloader thing or something else.
by the way the n9600 is a snapdragon model so that is even more impossible.
