Updating from one carrier rom to another - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone,
I have an Australian S9 and I don't live in Australia.
I still haven't got the pie update and I understood that it's because I have Australian firmware.
Can I just flash another version with Odin?
Or I need to do a full wipe?

If it's the G960F just flash the DBT (Germany) Pie firmware with ODIN

Thanks a lot!
Where is it best to download from?
And does having firmware of another country affect me somehow or it's OK?

You mean, flashing a G9600 ROM in your G960U device?
I'm not sure if that will work.

I saw the 9600 rom is a 128gb and dual sim version, but the 960F is 64gb and single sim as the 960U is.
Do you think the 960F ZTO will work in the 960U?
thanks

I don't have experience with flashing Roms from different variants in Samsung devices.
I recommend searching this information with users who are experienced at flashing with Samsung devices before doing any action.

if you flash non Indian roms , you will lose native VOLTE calling function.
I wouldn't mind using it, I have the Wi-Fi version so what an effect me. But it probably won't work I have the SM-T830.
Any screenshots?

No
Will I still get OTA updates in the future if I flash this region's firmware and will I lose any data
hey all- any reports on whether something like Swift Installer will work on Pie? it does on my Pie on Note 9 but i know it doesn't on the S10.

Probably not, this should be a multi CSC ROM, so unless he change his CSC manually, he will stay on INS (India) CSC

Indian CSC (INU or INS) is not available in the French firmware. So when we flash CSC, it'll change the default CSC to French. This hap to me when I flashed French Oreo rom on my tab. I had to revert back to Indian rom to get the VOLTE call feature back.
Please excuse me if I'm wrong.
üdv.ez a rom jó sm-t835c?
welcome to rom good sm-t835c?
Can someone please share the boot image for this ROM? I'd like to root it using this method here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/root-recovery-root-device-magisk-t3779454 (rooting without recovery) because trying to flash the TWRP recovery that we currently have failed. Thanks

I am not sure if the French ROM is multi CSC, if it is, it should include the INS CSC, I flashed my Note 9 with Indian firmware but it was multi CSC, and my phone still have the MID CSC not changed
I didn't have the time to flash my tab yet, I'll do it soon and report if my CSC changed
Flashed my tab, CSC have been changed to XEF but I am using it without a Sim card, I used the home CSC so my data stayed intact without wipe (for testing because I factory reset it manually to avoid bugs)
If you've upgrade can someone see if you are able to downgrade back to Oreo? I am happy with the Oreo rom and hate when they make it so you can flash a lower build incase the new one is not up to par. Its odd that the French version is up before the Korean international version.

I just waited it for to reboot and started normal, i didn't do anything else but it was the same for Thailand only.
Exact steps:
I downloaded the INU firmware from sammobile
ODIN 3.1.3
Put the extracted files in AP / CP / BL/ CSC
Ran the update
It happened and completed -> Pass
Then i waited for phone and it was still Thai Firmware.
