Guys, i'm literally in panic. I really need some help, please.
I have an unlocked bootloader, was using Nougat 7.1.1 with december security patch, but these sec. patch "bricked" my cam, so i downgraded to marshmallow but without flashing gpt.bin and bootloader.img, I upgraded to 7.0, and then upgraded to april sec. patch 2017, but after the ota was being installed, the phone bricked, i was not able to do anything. My led doesn't appears after anything. I tried a lot of blankflash files, but none of them worked for me, since those files were for users who were in 7.0(I guess), so i literally need your help guys, what to do? will Motorola release blankflash for us? I want my phone back, i use it all the time, I don't know what to do, i'm almost crying for this lost.
Please help me!
I've searched on the forum, but nothing worked.
IM IN PANIC OMG!

I'm from Brazil, so channel retbr
I was using latest version of 7.1.1 (NPNS26.118-22-12)
RSD Lite i was using the 6.2.4 version
Remember that I downgraded to 6.0.1 and upgrde through OTA to 7.0, with that OTA my phone gt bricked.
I can't reboot into bootloader to flash anything, that's why I want the blankflash
Edit. As I want my device ASAP, I've gone to a assistance. He said he was gonna send my device to another city to their software team. If they get the problem and solve it, I'll just pay 80 reais(my currency), if not, i don't pay anything.
What do you think? Do you think it's possible to fix it without changing the motherboard? And about the board, do you think that it's worth it changing it?

Hi guys.
recently got a used s9, did all the updates (for security updates) and didnt even look, just kept updating and find myself on android P.
I've played around with it and found it less intuitive and pretty lacking in some regards. (and may possibly have some issues relating to the OS too; battery and phone)
software updates says:
Code:
current version: G960FXXXXU2CRLO / G960FOXXM2CRLO / G960FXXXU2CRLI
Security patch level: 1 January 2019
SM-G960F, Phone status: Official, baseband version G960FXXU2CRLI, Kernel version: 4.9.59-15076275, build verison: ppr1.180610.011.G960FXXU2CRLO
I'm wondering if it's possible to flash back to official Android O, while retaining untripped KNOX. (having KNOX in a usable/official status)
I've read online that it should be possible to do, but talk of using the "OEM unlocking" option has me weary.
I dont want to blindy follow a guide to find i've broken KNOX or have a brick.
some of you guys are pretty cluey. so i thought it be a good first place to ask.
cheers
Once you pass a certain bootloader baseband you can't downgrade.... So odds are your stuck on Pie

Hmm, thats what I'm afraid of.
The downgrade guide i mentioned was here:
https://techbeasts.com/downgrade-ga...xy_S9S9_Plus_to_Android_Oreo_from_Android_Pie
not sure how legit it is though.
I havent read anything on XDA on the forums here, hence my new topic.
Yes you can downgrade, just flash with ODIN as normal using CSC and not HOME_CSC
The bootloader thing is true but you can check here which version you have vs which version you want to flash
G960FXXU2CRLI <<< Version 2
Boot the phone into Download mode, look for (BL:1 or BL:2 or BL:3)
As long as you are not trying to flash a lower version BL you will be fine

I booted into download mode and read and reread the stuff there. Doesnt seem to mention "BL" anywhere unfortunately.
but it has "U2" in a lot of different places, so I'm guessing its BL2.
The previous 3 or 4 have the "U2" version string, but the direct previous firmware has "S2" instead, and also the firmware that is suggested to use. Any hint as to what that means or if it makes any difference?
Second; I'd just like to triple-confirm I wont break KNOX (I'm pretty sure it wont, so I should be fine, but better to check now and make a fool of myself, than be sorry later)
Third;
I couldnt find/get the files off of the recommended sammobile ( https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s9/SM-G960F/XSA/download/G960FXXS2BRJ6/245612/ ) as apparently they are not hosting the files right now, instead googled and found another source, but I'd like to be sure they are correct and aren't fake, so to speak. or wont compromise the integrity of the phone.

I've had a little google but the MD5 and SHA1 hashes dont really lead to anything in particular.
just googling the name of the files returns that they are also named similarly to the Slovenian firmware.
last;
according to http://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-G960F/XSA/doc.html which appears to be the release notes for this specific version of the S9, build number G960FXXS2BRJ6 was indeed the previous version
any further insight from anyone would be appreciated.
many thanks.

No you won't trip KNOX unless you flash something custom
It is in Download mode but says B rather than BL (First set of dark red text)
Files will be fine, no reason for anyone to "fake" a random firmware, and you cannot flash modded firmwares through Odin
DL it again from here if you are unsure
https://samfrew.com/model/SM-G960F/
G960FXXS2BRK3 is the November update Oreo, BRJ6 was from October

Thanks for all the helpful information.
Downloading again now just to check hash comparison.

I found the latest version of ODIN around....
followed that guide I linked previously (without OEM unlock, as its not needed)
Installed the SAMSUNG usb drivers
Flashed the last OREO AP, BL, CP, and CSC
everything worked just fine.
running now great.
Thus ends my journey,
I hope Pie improves in the future.

Good to hear, for future reference, you usually don't need to install any separate drivers, they are installed automatically by Windows when you first connect your phone to the PC USB

It wasnt being picked up at first, and I couldn't get it recognised in ODIN. one of my tutorials mentioned the SAMSUNG drivers, and once I had installed them it was picked up instantly.
But I agree with you, it should have been fine.

You don't have to flash the firmware for your region if there is a later one for another region, for example BTU (United Kingdom) has a newer Oreo build as I mentioned above
Flash using HOME_CSC to keep data and csc as they are
Another advantage of doing this is you cannot receive OTA updates when CSC and firmware region do not match, so you would not get update notifications and would be forever on that Oreo firmware
The day you want Pie again, flash the correct region with Odin

Not really, I am running DBT firmware with XEU CSC just because the DBT firmware updated first, once XEU releases the same update I`ll flash back, and so on

What was the bootloader version of the Android 8 vs the version you had on Pie? Did you downgrade the bootloader as well?
can the same method be used to go down from 10 to 9? i have snapdragon 960w
Hi guys just got a galaxy s9 here in the uk it was locked to the EE network. But i brought it unlocked its on the latest august security patch. But i want to simply flash the unlocked software on the phone as i dont like the EE bloatware. Can i flash the latest august unlocked software on my phone. Or should i wait till a newer patch comes out first? As i read you shouldnt flash the same security patches

youll be fine to flash the U1 firmware. Just know that the phone will think that it is a U1 model and only get its own updates from there. You might need the patched version of Odin tho. If the phone thinks its currently branded, itll throw errors thatll cause Odin to fail

I think BTU/XEU are your options for CSC. 'People' say BTU is better... IDK
BTW both firmwares have same baseband version so not sure whats the difference..
G960FXXU6CSGD is the firmware U need.
Security Patch Level: 2019-08-01. U should be fine on that.
After flashing to 'BTU' U should receive updates according to this website http://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-G960F/BTU/doc.html
EDIT:
Have U flashed new software yet? Whats the results??
Thanks paul appreciate the information. No i did not flash yet.
Only reason being when i checked samfirm program it said u can only flash the newest rom otherwise it could cause issues.
Im on the august security patch and the newest btu is also august so im guessing technically its not the newest.
So i got put off.
Unless it will ne fine im not to sure

I never heard that flashing with the same security patch date will cause issues.
Then what about reflashing? If U wanna flash with the same firmware? Many people do it.
I would not use samfirm to download software.
Check this site https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__S9__/plhu/BTU/G960FXXU6CSGD/G960FOXM6CSH1/
Choose slow speed, download zip file, extract, install with ODIN.
Yes btu software is the correct one i need.
The reason why is because i dont like the carrier bloatware on my software.
And because i unlocked my phone i want to put the unlocked software. What is wrong with samfirm?
Is there a reason you say to avoid it

Greetings,
I'm super new here, also a tech noob so pls be gentle.
I purchased an unlocked At&T Note 10+, and i am living in Malaysia. Little that I know At&T would never send updates to out network, and that I require an At&t SIM in order to get the updates. Currently I am stucked with Android 9, ONE UI 1.5, with no hope of getting anything higher than that.
My question is, how can i get the updates besides flashing a new firmware? I tried connecting to Smart Switch on my laptop, and all it can says is that my software is up to date on SJ8 (ATT).
Hope there's a way other than flashing. HELP.

Hi Mohd Azrimny,
Am in the same boat as you. In Malaysia and have the note 10 plus at&t version. How did you manage? I am using Odin and getting error message connection failed. Not sure what is the problem.
Can you point me from where you downloaded the firmware? I am suspecting that is the culprit.
Thanks!

I'm sorry but I don't think there's other way around, you'll need to flash another firmware.
I have an Unlocked Verizon Note10+, the first thing I did after getting it out of the box was flash the unbranded firmware (CSC: XAA).
Ever since, I've had OTA updates as quick as they're released for N975U1.

I see...tq man. Can u help me out with one last thing? As they are thousands of firmware out there, which one should i choose? Can i simply choose any unbranded firmware (N975U1) from any month security updates n just flash it? I just need a stock ROM, not the latest should be ok as the OTA will take care of the rest.
Right now i'm at nov 2019 security updates SJ8 (ATT).
Thanks in advance.

Well, unfortunately I'm not sure about previous versions, however I'm leaving attached my SW information, my CSC is XAA.
You can download it from sammobile or frija (this is way faster).
Hope this helps,
Regards.
So, knowing you are a noob is half the solution already...
I highly recommend you look for Frija on the internet. Download the tool, search for the phone you have , it is a SM-N975U , and since you want to get rid from the AT&T version, you can install the SM-N975U1 version with XAA as CSC, that Samsung themselves push updates to. Even if they will not, you can always download the next revisions..
I assume you know how to use Odin..

No worries, as Odin and the phone check revisions and suitability. If not the right firmware, it should not write it.

and after a month or so, it cant detect my local carrier as well (maxis) and i receive a message constantly about the sim is not verizon sim
so i was hoping , flashing the firmware would eliminate this problem
what i did was :
1) download odin v3.14
2)download frija 1.4.3
3) download firmware SM-n975u1 csc XAA from frija
4)tried to flash using odin..and failed multiple time
5)tried download a patched version of odin 3.14
6)download a bunch of other firmware from USA verizon, malayisia and others
7)failed and failed and failed again
so sifu please help me?where did i go wrong? will flashing new firmware fix my carrier problem? or its a verizon issue?because it was working fine a month ago ..please help..
Hi there,
my G20 5G (Europe) doesn't find any updates after security level September, and that's been going on for some time. It's not a branded version, so I think I'll need to update manually. Now I haven't manually flashed anything since my old Nexus 5 and have never flashed anything with Odin.
Could anyone point me to the correct OTA-file and instructions how to flash OTA-files without wiping the phone? With the myriad of options I'm not sure which file to get for my specific model.
This is my phone info:
Modelnumber: SM-G981B/DS
Buildnumber: QP1A.190711.020.G981BXXU4BTIB
Basebandversion: G981BXXU4BTIO
//edit:
ok, i found about CSC and stuff, I'm on a T-Mobile software and they are the reason I don't get security updates in time.
Case closed for me, will look in to samkey.
