Hi, i have a samsung s9 running android 10 one ui 2.0 and want to upgrade to latest firmware One UI 2.1 or 2.5, but issue is the device is g960n but with a g960f firmware, if i want to update to latest firmware, OTA software update is showing error, do i flash g960n or g960f. Checking the 1234 code, device details are
Ap is g960f
Cp is g960n
Csc is g960f.
Please I'll appreciate if i can get a feedback as i will not want to brick the phone, and how was it possible to flash a g960f firmware on a g960n device. Odin mode on phone also shows device is g960n

Hello,
The firmware of my Galaxy S9 SM-G960F Dual Sim was last time updated in May 2018. I moved from Asia to UK, so that may be the reason. I to update it mainly for security reasons.
I have had a look at Sammobile and they offer updated versions of SM-G960F with my current carrier (Vodafone). Will that work? Is the same firmware for a single sim than a dual sim?
I will appreciate any additional recommendations whether I should update directly to Android Pie or stay in Oreo.
Thanks and regards,
Yes the G960F firmware works for the FD and DualSIM still works fine

I bought a A50 from ebay it was a SM-A505F/DS unlocked etc its a 4GB 128GB model
now i downloaded the xeu firmware for the UK and flashed via oden and everything flashed and it worked but when I try to check for updates it says processing failed when checking for updates
IT DOES NOT EVEN REGISTER TO THE UPDATE SERVER.
I TRIED WITH THE VODAFONE UK FIRMWARE O2 FIRMWARE BTU FIRMWARE AND XEU FIRMWARE ALL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE
this phone is an XSG model the firmware i used was from the SM-A505FN phone
why does everything work but updates anyone know how to resolve this.
Well if it does not work then you should keep your eye on the samsung's official galaxy a50 development page, and if update is available download the firmware and flash it with odin... Dont worry none of your data will be gone.. and btw if your bootloader is unlocked you wont get updates..

How do you expect it to work by flashing the wrong firmware? You’re flashing a NFC model firmware on a Non-NFC model. Download the desired region firmware for A505F, Remove your sim and flash the firm via Odin.
Hello,
So I am in France and it seems I won't get Android 10 update until March.
I have seen a lot of contradictory information regarding flashing firmware with different CSC, changing CSC...etc.
SO, is there a way to update to android 10 if I have the Multi CSC ROM, currently set to XEF?
Hi ondris,
You can use SamFirm tool, try to find it on xda, probably you're familiar with it. I've updated my phone, bought originally in Sweden, and I'm using it in Serbia with SEE CSC, you can use also BTU, phone will automatically detect network operator, and you are good to go. Flash it via Odin, steps are also on xda, and what I can tell you as an advice is that when you use Odin and flash CSC, you have CSC and Home CSC file. Regular CSC delete all the data from the phone, and Home CSC will save everything you installed and kept in you phone. I hope this helps you.
Thank you for the tips.
But the thing is i don't want the rom to change the csc by itslef.
I want to either change my crurent csc to one that has been updated to android 10 or flash an android 10 firmware with csc different of mine.
Can I flash SM-G960U US unlocked firmware on my SM-G960W device to get android 10?
I've tried to flash btu firmware on my fe 5g via odin and it keeps saying failed, I'm doing everything right because I use the same odin and frija download tool as my s20 plus, is there a different odin I should use? Also when I turn my phone on there's a "3" network logo appears, is my phone locked? I bought it cash from the shop itself, how do I flash newest firmware?
Whats the exact model number of your S20FE?
What version of android is on the device (including the baseband version, setting>about phone>software info>)
What version of the BTU firmware are you trying to flash? Android 10 or 11..?
I feel like I've done a big door.
I work in a cell repair shop and we had an ATT unlocked S20 FE that came in and I liked it so I bought it.
Long story short. I did some reading that you can install the XAA software using patched Odin. This was essential because I'm on Tmobile and didnt get 5G on the ATT firmware.
Easy enough. The device now has 5G access on Tmobile, and identifies itself as SM-G781U1/DS in settings.
The issue I'm facing is now unlocking the bootloader. The XAA firmware doesn't have the option and I'm unable to flash back to ATT firmware without (auth) fail errors in Odin and 'Secure boot check fail: PIT' on download mode.
Here's what I've tried that's failed so far:
- show option using time/date change
- software updating (I do receive OTA)
- flashing stock ATT firmware
- flashing stock TMB firmware
- Fastboot oem unlock (command not found)
- fastboot getvar unlocked (unlocked: no)
I'm about out of ideas, could use some guidance on where to begin looking next, I really like the power of this phone and wanna see what custom roms bring.
Device stats:
Galaxy S20FE SM-G781U (with U1 XAA flash)
CSC: ATT
Build: G781U1UESAGWC7
Service provider info:
G781U1_OYM_TMB_13_0011
TMB/TMB/ATT
Android 13, One UI 5.1
To be honest the custom rom screne for this phone is not so great yet. I imagine once the official support ends we will be getting some well developed custom roms.
As for the bootloader unlock issue, try using smartswitch to restore stock firmware, or try changing only the CSC if the firmware is multi-csc, the oem unlock option might reapper.
What kind of patched odin did you use to flash the XAA firmware? stock odin should be able to flash it too. As far as i am aware north american samsung phones do not offer oem unlock. The option probably dissapeared for good. There was etoken but since you are on android 13 i imagine the exploits have been already patched. You're basically stuck on XAA now. You can try using samkey to change the csc but i doubt that even that can help you oem unlock it.

for some reason Samsung doesn't allow bootloader unlocks in the US anymore. if as a phone repair guy you have the means force older firmware onto the device then you could pay someone to get an unlock token on the DL from a contact of theirs.
downgrading isn't something we can do at all hence me mentioning you maybe having access to resources others don't.
if you could get it onto the very first firmware you'd have a chance, if you can't there's no chance.
