i've been trying to buy a s9 locally but most of it are really sketchy or have a cracked display. so i checked ebay for one and a Korean seller is selling a SM-G960N for 280$. its the same price locally but i says its a really good condition one. the questions i have are,
1. Korean version seems to have a lot of bloatware but i can hopefully root or use cmd to remove them. i want to know if that's possible?
2. found of google that korean version phones don't have Lte or cant use it a country besides Korean that's what i read at least. is that real? it seams weird if it is.
3.could i re flash a international version firmware to it so that samsung pay will work?
that's all the questions i have hope they get answered soon.
thanks!!

You can flash G965F rom on G965N by using TWRP recovery. I changed my phone to S10 5G recently so i do not have One UI 2.5 for S9+. With One UI 2.1, you can try it https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682934101

I don't have my phone rooted and I'd like to upgrade it to 5.0.0 lollipop. I see Samsung only put out the update to other countries and not the US, how nice of them.
Would I even notice a difference using it or would putting the Aussie version of lollipop on my US t-mobile phone be a no no?
Thank you
You cannot flash an Australian stock LP ROM to the USA T-Mobile phone via Odin.
There is a T-MOBILE Australian lollipop upgrade on Samsungs website for the m919. For verification, It won't work on my m919? Would u mind to help me understand why?
Thank you
The bootloader in the rom will be compared to the hardware being flashed. If it's a match, it will flash but not necessarily function properly.
If the Australian m919 is the same as the hardware as the USA variant, it will probably flash but I don't know if it will work n properly.
Ok thank you for the explanation
Why don't you install Lineage which will put you into >7.0

Sorry for this if it is answered elsewhere but I didn't see a specific answer in my search.
I'm looking for the unlocked international version of the S9 because I want to root it, flash ROMs, etc..
I see the international SM-960 models that have the Exynos chip, which I know can be unlocked.
I also see the international SM-G9600 models that have the Snapdragon chip. Can the international variant with Snapdragon also be unlocked, or is it Exynos only?
In some strings I've seen mention of getting an unlock code from Samsung after 7 days. Is that for the 9600 (snapdragon), the 960 (Exynos), or both?
The SM G9600 has an unlocked bootloader like the exynos variants, but since there is no TWRP for the g9600 you kinda can't do much with it. There are no custom ROMs out there for the snapdragon version. But there are GSIs that can be installed thanks to Project treble. But like I said, without twrp you can't do much.

Hi, I've bought an 960U in the USA, and looking to flash the Brazilian ROM, but the variant used here is the 9600. Can I Flash It?

No, the SM-G960U (AT&T carrier locked version, IIRC) has a locked bootloader. I do not think you can flash any new firmware to it, unfortunately.
EDIT: Maybe you can, follow the guide in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/how-to/how-to-flash-u1-firmware-to-device-t3765200
I'm not sure, but it may be worth a try.

Hi
I have the 960u unlocked, I bought it in a best buy.
This makes a difference to flash or not the 9600?

Carrier unlocked is not the same as bootloader unlocked. One let's you use any carrier SIM card the other let's you flash stuff.
I can buy the N9600 but I am not entirely sure if it will be able to get fully twrp working and root
Hi all.
I've bought an S9+ off Ebay in the UK and assumed that I'd be sent a UK model but instead I've received a USA AT&T Snapdragon version.
I've been on xda some time now and am used to rooting and flashing roms for UK versions but not the USA versions.
Does anyone have any advice as to what I should do? Ideally I'd only want to root it but unsure how to approach it. There doesn't seem many ROMs for the Snapdragon version!
If I do successfully root it and don't flash a custom rom, will I still get official updates?
Thanks!
No root or custom for Snapdragon US model S9s, Bootloaders are locked
You need the international Exynos version

that shouldnt make any difference whatsoever. i have brought several phones from the US to several EU countries, including the UK and never had any issue with US phones working over there and using europe specific apps as well. Should be fine.
Hey,
I've got an att locked S22, and att have gone and done a bunch of dumb stuff like locking rcs to their implementation and installing a bunch of stuff as system that I don't want etc. I'm wondering if it's possible to flash a non carrier-specific firmware to the NA S22?
Thanks
Yes, you can flash the unlocked software to the phone and it will convert it into a U1 model, with OTA updates and everything. Every S or Note series subforum has the instructions listed, except for this one for some reason.
You can follow the instructions here, just substitute the S901 for the S908 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...s908u1-versions.4400511/page-56#post-86785943

do you know if it's possible to dirty flash from U to U1 firmware?
I believe it will be a full wipe. Just back everything up to Samsung or Google.

Use U1 instead of W (region XAA) rom , with the latest version of security patch, and latest version of Odin. Esim will be enabled. Software XAA without carriers soft etc..
