S9 update - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hello
I have the SM-G960F. My CSC code is PRO ( proximus branded, Belgium). Apparently it is a vodafone branded. I was wondering if I can update to the newest version. I am stuck on the march security update, but there's a new one on let's say VDF ( The netherlands Vodafone), 2 updates even. Is it possible to flash that firmware without changing my CSC code? I guess it is a Multi CSC in Vodafone, so it shouldn't be any problem?

S9 with an active PRT play CSC ( branded )

Hey Samsung Experts ! :laugh:
I'm a newbie to this CSC stuff But I'm used to flashing via odin and firmwares switching.
My question is like this : I live in Morocco and I have a Samsung S9 Exynos Sm-G960f ( dual Sim ) with an active PRT csc ( poland and I guess it is branded ) when I first got the phone a month ago I got october security patch OTA and installed it. Now my phone says it is up to date ; yet , it is stuck at october security patch. Is it a CSC related problem or poland users hadn't received any OTA ever since october ?
I want to update my phone to Pie but I don't know which firmware to use.
I downloaded the newer ISREALI one with january security patch and ILO csc.
I'm intending to flash it. And if I flash csc instead of Home_csc will my phone work normally ? I mean no IMEI or network related problems ? and will My PRT CSC be replaced with ILO ?
I have read about combination files method but it is way complicated.
thank you.
Could somebody here possibly help me out with this ?
I will be thankful , buds.

Multi CSC Firmware changed CSC to XEF instead of XEU - N976B

I wanted to debrand my Vodafone branded Note 10+ 5G so flashed the latest Multi CSC firmware but when the phone booted back up everything was in french.
I checked the Software information and my CSC is listed as XEF/XEF/VOD when I expected this to be XEU/XEU/VOD
Never had this happen before and not sure how to get back to a UK CSC now?
Did you manage to flash your phone, because am going to do the same. updates from Vodafone are too slow

It is part of the Vodafone firmware . You would have to flash unbranded firmware to remove the app . Is the phone network locked ?
If its doing no harm you can leave it there and just ignore it
The phone has no Simlock :
1 x Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Plus 5G SM-N976B 256GB Aura Glow without Simlock New OVP
Will i get all regular Updates from Samsung (like Android 10) or do i get the updates from Vodafone ?
I´m confused.
Thanks
In Germany there are a couple of branded Firmwares out which are provider based.
You own a vodafone Note10+ which means you get OTA (Over the Air) Updates from a Samsung based by the provider overworked Firmware (normaly monthly).
You have the possibillity to remove the app via ADB or you can unbrand it with a open UK Firmware Countrycode BTU (no provider stuff on it).
Your current countrycode should be VD2 (Vodafone Germany).
If you are able to read german there is one big forum in Germany for android devices, take a look at android-hilfe.
if there is no simlock on the device, its also not against a law to 'rebrand' it with an other firmware.
Before starting this take a closer look here or in other forums to inform you about flashing an Samsung Firmware with a tool called odin (for Windows).
you can download the newest firmwares on sites like sammobile.com.
But don't do it hastily until you've read your way into the matter!
This is my Firmware. Could I flash DBT or DTM without problems ?
The unbranded Firmware for Germany is DTM ?
1. Don,'t know if this will work without any problems, if you can read and understand German take a look on the Android Hilfe forum there is a thread discribing unbranding.
https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...anding-auch-beim-note-10-moeglich.929549.html
2. Open Germany is DBT (which stands for debitel, now mobilcom debitel).
DTM is Deutsche Telekom which is also branded
On the other side, all this to only get rid of one app...
Have you tried to deactivate the app under settings - apps - three-point-menu (upper right corner) - show system apps.
Then Navigate to the app and tap on deactivate in app settings
since a couple of years branding (in Germany) is shrinked to one or two provider apps.
Also OTA Updates are nearly as fast as for the Open Germany DBT.
My last action in rebranding was on an Galaxy S7 so I can not say if debranding the Note10+ from VD2 to DBT works with out problems and afterwards fully access to OTA Updates.

Hello,
thanks for all this information.
I did get a Update for the phone already. It was the Securitypatch 1. November 2019.
I have a Deutsche Telekom Sim in the phone. It works without problems .
So i will get Android 10 sometime OTA with my Telekom Sim too ?
It´s not possible to stop and deactivate this App.
Thanks again for your help.
Sure you will get Android 10 also with this card, as soon it was released here in Germany for VD2

Hello,
i looked at Androidhilfe.de and followed the instructions at the thread https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...anding-auch-beim-note-10-moeglich.929549.html.
I used SamFirm to find a BTU Firmware (2019-10-30). I flashed it with Odin (normal CSC )
and got a clean phone.
Now my note 10 + 5g is debranded. No more Vodafone App. I´m on XEF/XEF/VOD now.
Today there was again a newer Verson of BTU Firmware (2019-11-13)
I flashed that with Odin3 3.13.3 using homeCSC .
My phone got updatet with no dataloss.
So my problem is solved
Thanks again for helping.:good:
Had a similar problem with my DTM (Telekom) branded Note10+.
Just flash the newest DBT FW with the home csc and you'll get the unbranded version without vodafone apps.
Also you'll get updates much faster.

Is there a DBT Firmware for the Note 10+ 5G
I didn´t find one yet.
I had to search a bit, but couldn't find an unbranded version for the german market.
Also it could be difficult to get 5G with a different country firmware because it's new, regulations and stuff.
But you could flash at leats the DTM firmware, so you'll get telekom preinstalled apps

So I think that's the 3 net work.
Would it be better for update to stay on the rom or flash a BTU rom?
There is no such CSC as BTU anymore, at least on a z fold 3, what's your service provider software ?

BTU has gone!
My phone has no provider.
But the ROM is B3G which is three.
So it must of been on three at some point.
It probably is running three branded software, but that will just be your original CSC code. If you wanted to change it you can, with free software from samfirm but the equivalent to btu now, is eux, Samsung have changed the way updates happen. UK the no longer has its own CSC unbranded code, we fall under eux, so Samsung can release faster updates all at once
By 3 branded I mean the ROM is customised for the 3 network, apps added etc. mines on o2, but that's an multi CSC ROM, oxm which means it has multiple CSC, including eux etc, but eux doesn't come with network customisations and is now the European unbranded
