I have a note CSC LA4 KOR. . does this mean my phone will never receive an update unless I root or change the coding and completely wipe all my phones data?
Kies says my device does not support updgrades and I read that I wont get push updates either? ..
Im new to android and I own a mac, so am I basically f***ed and stuck with 2.36 for the life of the phone?
or is my research totally wrong?
Thanks for any info. . much appreciated
I just did a quick google search and apparently if you know your way around a mac and it's terminal then it's possible to root and etc. As for receiving an update the new update was for Europe and since you have a Korean device you'd probably have to wait for a Korean update. I'm not to sure about Kies not saying your device doesn't support updates, I got off stock as soon as I got the phone.
Same problem
I am having the same problem

but doesnt that require completely wiping the phone? and isnt a PC needed to do that?
a user shouldnt have to completely wipe data to do a basic update. .
I had the LPY 4.0.3 yesterday and decided to go back to my original 2.3.6 GB
What I did was because my phone is the Hong Kong model (TGY) I went to SamFirmware site and under Asia I downloaded N7000ZSKK1
After flashing that on it still wasnt the right one as Kies still displayed that it wouldn't update.
But a firmware update OTA poped up and when I plashed to that I got my original GB 2.3.6 back.
So I tested it by connecting it to my windows PC and kies displayed that I had the latest firmware.
So my advice to you is you should look for the 3 letters in brackets under firmware and on SamFirmware site download the correct firmware for your device.
Mine was TGY for Hong Kong so yours will be different or the same.

From what I'm reading the KOR version will never recurve updates for some reason...can anyone confirm or deny this?...I don't mind waiting...
Hi... Actually same happened with me too... I bought ma phn from India and and took it to korea. And started using it on KT. But when i put ma phn on kies they said that this firmware is not supported vai kies. Before i didnt knew what tge heck is this. Then after some time i inserted indian sim (which obviously is not working here) n then restarted. Ma phone was recognised by kies n it come that YOU HAVE THE LATEST FIRMWARE. So what i understood was of u have the sim from where you bought ur phone(in ma case it was India), just insert it,restart it. N update or do whatever with kies or if dont have just download the correct and latest firmware acording to ur country from sammobile.com, put ur mobile on download mode (by pressing volume down, menu, power button in same time until the warning screen comes up then press volune up key) n by using odin flash that latest firmware. If you dont know how to flash using odin Just tell me. I will let you know. I hope this will help you.
Ps: for flashing no need of rooting and all.

Thanks for the advice. I will try it.
I bought my phone in Thailand. .but I believe it is a Hungarian model made in korea (the owners manual is in Hungarian). the back of the battery says made in japan/finished in korea?? .and now I live in Vietnam. .what a clusterf**k
I can do the odin thing but I dont own a PC (I own a mac) so it is not easy. Last time i did it it took well over an hour with downloads and installations.
Ill be in Thailand shortly so ill see if it will update with a Thai sim, but i doubt it as I dont think it is a Thai made phone ..
KOR doesn't mean Korea.It's for some European countries,and every Note will be updated.

Dont worry. The place you bought matters not the place where it is made. But i dont understand, Y ur phone showing kor. Are u using ur note in veitnam?? If yes then y its still showing korean csc. Anyway for mac there is heimdall same as odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265. :thumbup:
not sure why its saying KOR when im in Vietnam. . I really dont understand any of this. . this is my first android.
Ill try to mess with it tonight and see what I come up with, but from what im reading people are saying KOR is not a valid CSC or its a generic CSC and will never receive updates. .
man this is all overally complicated to get a basic update that was supposed to be released in Q1.
thanks for all the help and advice.
Worry not cuz csc doest matter. Samsung phone are most hackable devices. U ll know how to deal with it. I also learnt all hacking with this device. Njoy...
success!!. . I updated to ICS using Odin and it was really easy.
My only difficulty is owning a mac and the use of a PC at work is very restricted, so i needed the IT guy to allow access to download all the drivers, kies etc. .
but when all is said and done if you own a PC it is a really easy process thanks to Dr Ketans tutorial. .

your research is totally wrong, ICS is being rolled out to different countries at different stages
I followed a guide by XDA User applepay from this link, but just wanted to try and simplify it because i found it pretty complicated to understand at first.
It would be worth reading that thread before this even if it doesn't make sense. Please also read this complete thread before you attempt it.
I have only followed the guide so i can't answer any questions to help. I am not responsible for any problems you run into. This is just a guide of what I did to get mine to work.
I was successful using my SM-N960F going from CSC XME to TEL.
I cannot confirm that this method will work on other models, but i don't see why not considering the guide was originally for a S9.
Make sure you select your exact model when downloading files and flashing files. Using other model firmware may brick your phone.
Backup your files! I used Smart Switch on windows. This method will wipe your phone in the process.
Use the original usb cable you got in the box and install the Samsung USB drivers if you haven't already.
I have confirmed on my device that OTA updates work fine after this procedure.
Please comment if you think there is a better way or there is an error in this guide.
Download your combination file from here
Download your new CSC firmware from here
Download Samsung Odin 3.13.1 from here
Download RealTerm from here
1. Open Odin.
Click AP and select your combination file.
Put your Note 9 into download mode by turning it off completely, then holding the volume down and bixby buttons while inserting the usb cable. Confirm that you want to enter download mode.
Click start in Odin.
Once this is complete, your phone should boot into the combination firmware and show your model number. Close Odin.
2. Open RealTerm and go to Port tab.
Set Baud to 230400 and Select Port to ssudmdm0000 or very similar name.
Click the change button.
Go to Send tab.
Enter "AT" and click Send ASCII.
If you get a response like
"+USB READY
BOOTING COMPLETED
AT"
or
"AT"
or
"OK"
or
"BOOTING COMPLETED
AT"
Proceed to the next number.
If you didn't get a response click +CR and send again.
If you get a response like "ERROR" proceed to the next number.
Still if you didn't get a response check your phone status and cable status.
If everything is normal proceed to the next number.
If still you didn't get a response it means your phone or cable is not normal status.
3. Enter "AT+PRECONFG=1,0" and click Send ASCII.
You will get this response.
AT+PRECONFIG=1,0+PRECONFG:1,???
OK
-??? is your current CSC.-
4. Enter "AT+PRECONFG=2,???" and click Send ASCII.
Enter ??? you want to change to another CSC.
You will get this response.
AT+PRECONFG=2,???+PRECONFG:2,OK
OK
-??? is your changed CSC.-
5. Enter "AT+PRECONFG=1,0" and click Send ASCII.
You will get this response.
AT+PRECONFIG=1,0+PRECONFG:1,???
OK
-??? is your changed, current CSC.-
6. CSC change is now complete. You can now close RealTerm.
7. Open Odin again.
Turn your phone off and then put it into download mode again by holding the volume down and Bixby buttons, then plugging the usb cable in.
Fill each field (BL, AP, CP and CSC) with their respective files from the firmware which has the new CSC.
Use the CSC file in the CSC field, not HOME_CSC.
Click start. This will now wipe your phone completely.
8. Your phone should boot into android and everything should be complete!
Enjoy using VoLTE, VoWiFi and RCS!
Many thanks! Will give it a go.

Hmm, will this allow my unrooted n960f/ds to flash the TMB CSC and work? Or does this just let you change to another CSC within the multi CSC?

Odin still won't let you flash firmware files from an other phone model. which is a good thing since csc.md5 contains a pit file that is very much phone model specific....you dont want that. home_csc.md5 dosent but regardless Odin should still throw an error. I wouldint be game to test with the prince Comey edition of Odin that allows you to do this forcefully apply wrong model firmware file. might work... or not
how about future OTAs after ? if I flashed TMO csc will I get all TMO OTAs in future ?
@laneyyy i need to select combinations file Odion in AP right ? I guess I have to downgrade my firmware first Odin don't let me flash I have the last one firmware

My phone was up to date before I used the latest combination file for my model on that site. I didn't get any errors about downgrading.
As far as OTAs, I'm not sure yet, but worst case is you just need to flash new firmwares by Odin. I think it's definitely worth the trade off to get volte, vowifi and RCS if that's the case

I have two s10+ devices, one has received software updates a few days after the release, however, my other device does not receive software updates. When the device was purchased, it received one software update, I had to factory reset the device not too long after that. After factory resetting I haven't had any updates, I had to flash the April update via Odin, the other device has already received the May update, and this one even after searching says software is up to date. I've tried Samsung smart switch as well, and it says the same. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks for any assistance.

I wonder if both of your devices are from the same region. You can go to Sammobile website and check the firmware info for your device that rarely gets updates. It will show the latest update available for that region/device

Both are from the same region, I flashed the April update via Odin after downloading the firmware from Sammobile. I just would rather not have to flash updates all the time via Odin. It only received one update, and then nothing ever since. The only thing I did after receiving the one update is factory reset the device and eventually switching carriers. I'm wondering if that could be why, but the other device I purchased is on the same carrier, and it gets the updates very quickly, both are factory unlocked devices.

Interesting. Haven't had that happen to me.
1) Which carrier are you using right now?
2) What is the model # of your phone and which CSC code, XAA or another one? - how can I locate your phone's firmware on Sammobile site?

I'm currently on the Bmobile network as I'm from Trinidad. The device that gets updated, the Software service provider is listed as TPA/TTT, TPA/TPA. The device that doesn't get it is listed as TTT/TTT, TTT/TPA. Both are on the same network. I downloaded the April update from Sammobile, the one listed here: firmwares/galaxy-s10-plus/SM-G975F/EON/download/G975FXXU1ASD5/267193/
I hope I provided all you asked about, if you need anymore info to assist, let me know.

Use attached SamFirm tool to search and download what you need and in your case it is either EON or TPA. You can start from flashing EON firmware and see if it will help you get updates or from TPA, your choice.
1) I would advice you to remove sim card from your phone
2) Use backup/restore in your phone's settings(if you need it) to back up your phone. Then do "reset" option in your phone settings to wipe it
3) After phone comes to "welcome screen", turn it off and put it in download mode for Odin and put 4 files where they belong and the rest you know...I personally use CSC files instead of HOME_CSC as I like to wipe the whole phone(you can try home_csc first if you so desire)
I also included the screenshot with your model and CSC code in it. Just check for update in the tool and you can change the EON to TPA if you need another firmware.
If you could take a screenshot of your software info screen, where it shows TTT/TTT/.... stuff and also after you click check for update on your phone, I wonder how the screen looks like where it tells you "software up to date"

I see that on the night mode device, the firmware is TTT and on the other is TPA. I think the TTT doesn't get the update, so use the tool and download TPA and flash your phone. If everything is good, I believe you should be receiving updates.

Correct, search for TPA instead of EON firmware and once the firmware is found, click download and the rest is the same. After that you would just unzip files to the folder and use Odin. Don't forget about the steps I provided before flashing

Remove the sim, factory reset the device. After that it will restart and boot to welcome screen. Put phone into download mode, start Odin, connect your phone, add files, flash firmware. After your phone restarts, it should be at the welcome screen. Now put your sim and see if you get any message that tells you something about "carrier settings..." which is good, then it will restart

So I downloaded the TPA firmware and flashed it, I also followed your instructions with regards removing the sim. When I reinserted the sim, no carrier settings showed up, and the software version still shows TTT, so I'm guessing the lack of software updates will continue.

I just saw the image. Flash again. For my phone, I had to flash 3 or 4 times before it changed the SW version. I used 3 different Odin versions as well.
Use Odin version that I attached here too. You need to flash and make sure the SAOMC_SM-G975F_OXM_TTT changes to TPA

Where does it show TTT? In the software version?

Yeah, the software version still shows the CSC as TTT/TTT, TTT/TPA. And it shows as SAOMC_SM-G975F_OXM_TTT.

Do I need to flash it clean once again with the CSC, or can I use Home_CSC to keep my settings as I've already started to set the phone up again. And mind if I ask what the difference in the versions of Odin are?

1) I mostly use regular CSC file as I like to clean everything, but try Home first, then regular csc if you don't like setting up the phone. Don't setup the phone next time until you get positive results
2) So I used "Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD" that I included in the thread and also used Odin 3.13.1 and 3.13.3
3) If after flashing again, it won't change the firmware, then do this: get EON firmware, flash on your phone following the list of steps as you did previously.
4) Put the sim card in and see if there are any messages about carrier updates. This message is a good indication that firmware is getting changed(unless on international model message is different from US version)
5) Check the SW version in settings and then you will need to flash TPA firmware again, which should give you proper results.
I had to flash XAA firmware, then TMB to make my phone change to TMB and it took me multiple tries

4) Put the sim card in and see if there are any messages about carrier updates. This message is a good indication that firmware is getting changed(unless on international model message is different from US version)
5) Check the SW version in settings and then you will need to flash TPA firmware again, which should give you proper results.
I had to flash XAA firmware, then TMB to make my phone change to TMB and it took me multiple tries

Ok, I'll try flashing a couple times. To be honest, I only started setting up the phone as I thought that was all that could be tried, didn't know there was some hope of it working after all. If I don't get to flash the EON firmware tonight, I'll be sure to try it tomorrow in hope that it actually changes. I think once it changes it should work, because the other s10+ and even the s8+ both have TPA and they're both unlocked on the same carrier. I have no idea why this one would have switched. As far as I can tell there isn't any TTT firmware for the S10+, there is one for the normal S10 however, so I'm really not sure.

+1 using cho firmware
guys just use samfirm tool 0.3.6 on your PC to check for the update. no need to ask or post if its out or not:
enter as device model:
SM-960N
And Region: dosent really matter but u can choose the carrier that the device is from:
LUC
KOO input this one if unsure
SKC
KTC
or choose the one with the latest fimrware/date code
(but rightnow only May is available)
check regularly as the app seems to connect to samsung servers so it will be the first place for the firmware to pop up.( and download speeds are fast. way faster than sammobile free or other crapy sites.)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...g-firmware-t2988647/post57842725#post57842725
to dl the tool on the post link above , skip the part where it says depreciated and dl it from attached OP post. read up though on the windows ( MS redist) dependencies to run it.
downloaded firmware is flashable once extracted using odin 3.13.3 from here:
https://dl2018.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.13.3.zip
this required to see phone com port with odin
samsung usb drivers:
https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/M...ver-for-Mobile-Phones-1-5-65-0.shtml#download
put phone into download mode:
(make sure your device is off before doing anything.) hold the following button combo: VOLUME DOWN + BIXBY and plug usb cable from PC to phone then release button when you see DL mode and press vol up to accept to enter it.
in odin:
to not reset/wipe data fill in all slots with unziped md5's from file downloaded with samfirm: BL, AP, CP AND CSC (use ONLY these 4 corresponding files*)
(* For csc: home_csc.md5 is to not loose data and regular *csc.md5 will wipe clean.) (userdat.md5 is korean bloat, skip it not needed if you are not on korean sim carrier)
if you are on a custom rom(rooted device) and just want to update bootlaoder and modem to latest, then flash only ;
BL.md5 and CP.md5 in the according slots.
flashing official firmware and components like this dosent trip knox or voids warranty so its all safe.
edited for links to the tools needed and some clarifications.

with root its easy. but without i dont know.
try to install the KOO firmware. i believe it is the "unbranded" firmware for korean n960n devices.
be careful of personal data if you try. using the method described above to flash with odin.( the part when using csc.md5 file because i might wipe data from phone. but it might also remove bootlogo and more bloatware apps from korea)

I tried flash trwp crownite and failed at flashing via odin, i think is not working for now (pie)
This is my buildnumber N960NKSU2CSE3 this for baseband N960NKOU2CSD2 if i download KOO firmware
which one should I choose? Buildnumber or base band?
Btw i got firmware KOO but unziped file i get 6 fil, AP, BL, CP, CSC, HOME CSC, and USER Data how i must input User Data File to?
I'm in Korea too, using an unbranded KOO N960N (exynos). It seems like the update is unavailable in this region. I left a question on the Samsung Members forum, and it seems like they're saying the night sight camera mode had some pretty large bugs, so they have to fix that. Also, the night sight camera update was just released for the S9 series, so hopefully it shouldn't be long before we can get it for the Note 9.
[edit]
Also, checking the latest firmware for N960N in SAMFIRM results in the same firmware, an outdated May 2019 version withOUT night sight camera. Looks like we will have to await the official release ...
This sucks because my Mate 20 Pro takes absolutely stunning pics at night.

all required information was posted in my big post. please read it and follow it correctly to get your answers.
moreover you might need to install samsung android drivers. you can search for them on xda or you can install samsung smart switch. it has the drivers built in. the software is useless it is only being installed for the driver package.

No carrier logo on KOO, but the phones are more expensive. No bloatware whatsoever.
BTW, we just got night mode a day or two ago.
The night mode is still 2 or 3 generations technologywise behind the Mate 20 Pro, Im gonna have to sell my device so if anyone in KR wants to buy it, leave me a PM.
Its in pristine condition with 6 cases

there will always be some carrier bloat leftover. the only way is to root and install a custom rom to get rid of everything.
Hi, don't know if anyone can help?
I live in the UK and have a Samsung Note 9 which came from the UAE. The phone will not update and is currently Android version 8.1.0 with security patch dated 01/11/18.
I have tried updating via Samsung Smart Switch.
I have cleared the cache, done a factory reset and checked if the phone is rooted, which it isn't.
I believe the only way to update the android version is to do it manually, can anyone help with this.
The phone is SM-N960F dual sim Serial Number RF8KC1DMFSR
Thanks

As far as I understand, your phone has OXM which includes multi CSC, so it doesn't matter which firrmware you can download and flash.
If you have doubt, just install Samsung Phone Info from playstore. In CSC code tab, check what is its original csc.
Use samfirm or frija to download at very high speed.

This is multi csc firmware so don't worry it will detect your sim card and select csc/country code automatically where you live.
