Can someone direct me to a tutorial on how to extract my current stock Samsung firmware and make an Odin flashable zip file?
The firmware I am currently using has July security patch for N986N and the firmware is not available anywhere online. I would like to extract this firmware and make a flashable zip file. Others might find it useful too incase they need to change the CSC sometime in future.
As of now, CSC changes are only supported in July security patch. So having a backup of this exact firmware might help in future.
Help please?!?? ???
If you're doing this just for "security". Don't bother. Too much work. Security patches are useless.

No. In order to change CSC in future, I'll need July firmware reinstalled. CSC updates dont work with August/September updates sadly. So I thought it will be handy have the current July update backed up.

Stock? The current one? This one I cannot find anywhere online.
I checked almost everywhere.

The two patches displayed for ops model are both older than the July patch they need.
Edit: newer

Hey thats with September build, not July.
Looks like you didn't understand what I was trying to say.
In order to change CSC, your security patch needs to be earlier than August which means July.
July build is not available anywhere online. I have 2 Note Ultras - both N986N
One of them has September patch so I am not able change the CSC on it.
The other one is July, which works flawlessly for CSC changes. If there is a way I could extract the firmware on my July version N20U, I could try flashing the same on to the other device.
There are others searching for the same firmware too.

Lol, the Note 20 wasn't released until August-September. How on earth would you expect to find a July build?

I just flashed the unlocked 930U ROM on my Verizon S7. I notice that the Android Security Level is all the way back to May. Is there any way to force an update of this?
Go to Korea and kidnap the team responsible for updating that rom. Then, force them to build a rom with the newest security patch. Easy as pie...

LMAO no no no I meant to catch up to whatever the newest is. Maybe my understanding is wrong, but I thought that the security updates were pushed out separate from the actual ROM update itself.

They haven't had any so no way to get them.
May is the latest patch date for the 930u. I've been checking daily for an update. I even have the Samsung Smart Switch app installed on my PC looking for the updates for the phone. I'm not sure if the updates are going to come OTA or if they will be a PC download only. It would be nice to get one!

I just did my daily update check and a 180mb update downloaded and is installing now. Nothing exciting in the changelog. Improved stability of the Dial??? Security updates, etc.
The update size is 163.86MB for me

hello you have converted to u firmware and reciving update ?
No, I flashed PG5 and PG9 from "full" FW with ODIN.
I've searched through all the threads but none answered my question. I have an S8+ with XEU/XEU/VOD and have applied for the beta.
Am I even eligible for the update/will I get it?
In recovery and the samsung info app it says that my CSC is XEU, but there is still the VOD at the end...
SOLVED: If you are not getting the Oreo update but you have registered for beta, CLEAN flash either August or September firmware (through ODIN, no KNOX tripping, both available on sammobile) and the Oreo 8.0 update will be waiting for you straight away!

I don't know then, that's what happened to me anyway as you can see from the screen shot in post 2 xeu/xeu/h3g and that was after flashing xeu firmware and the csc (not the home_csc)
The 3rd line of the csc will stay the same unless you have another sim afaik.

You cannot change the last value. That's a hardware that can only be changed with root
Well damn. Thanks for the help guys, appreciate it.
Will wait for someone to drop the update file so I can flash it through ODIN. Do you think anyone has it yet? Cheers.

I upgraded my XEU/XEU/VOD yesterday through Samsung Members without modding. I was originally on Vodafone firmware back in April.

Interesting, you're on the September security patch. I'm on October.
Someone was also saying to downgrade and then try to update to oreo. I already have it downloaded so once I get home I'll clean flash the September FW and try to download the beta. Cheers mate!

Where'd you manage to find the september FW? I'm struggling to find a link. This is my plan too. I'm on the latest BTU Firmware at the moment, registered for the beta but no update has come through and it's been over 24 hours. If you could link me I'd be very grateful!

Could it be that the 5000 UK registrations have ended and that's why no download is presented?

This is interesting. I just looked and the security update is from back in Aug. I think the change list is the same as all the others that have been out already.
The 810 has the same update with different build number. I'm thinking that these are just late updates for that country. They were behind everyone else.
I don't see any reason we need it. But I could be wrong.
Edit
This is China's first Nougat Rom. They've been on Marshmallow til now. I think it was the last to get Nougat.

Hi,
I purchased an S10+ from Telus today and I was wondering what firmware I can use to update it. I'm on February security level and I believe there is more recent available.
Based on a thread in the Guides section, the Muti CA. Firmware doesn't cover the TLS "region"
Thank you.

The latest firmware ends with VLU1ASBA and has a February security patch. If that's what you see. You're on the same firmware as everyone else with Telus and most likely Canada.

Thank you, that's what I'm running. I thought maybe the phone could run something more recent. Similar to the Note 9 that was loaned to me for a bit, it was XSG region but I was able to find updates via samfirm or XDA.
you might as well wait a day or two .... cuz the march security update is supposed to release april 15th .... u can see that on telus update schedule

I'm not aware of being able to cross flash. I would suspect that if possible, it would probably be destructive to the data on the phone. Perhaps one of the more modding savvy folks can chime in and provide better instructions.
I'm unable to update my phone for whatever reason, it still says January 1 and I'm up to date. I'm fully stock and have looked all over here and the Internet with lots of international 9.0.13 zips or tmobile 9.0.3. I'm looking to update manually but need the zip, does anyone have it, the newest one?
When my wife comes home I will check her phone if there is an update I was unaware that t mobile released an update. Where did you find out about an t mobile update? The one plus update is about a week old or so in official channels so t mobile should be out in a couple weeks if they stay on task. The quarter #2 release has till the end of June to be considered on time since the updates are quarterly.
Thanks for the reply.
I found this on Tmobile site but no link.

Your build number seems to match the newest from that link you sent. 217 seems to be the newest from your screenshot. You must remember that one plus uses different number schemes than t mobile. T mobile also has January security patch and not the newest security patch. That you see in beta and custom ROMs.
You are right, weird it still says January and I haven't gotten an update in a while

Security patch is from January the update came a few weeks ago. In the release notes you will notice no mention of new security patch as it was still beta when the update came. Security patches are not always the newest and is part of the main reason people use custom or international ROMs phone carriers across the globe are slow at updated security since that is not their focus.
That is very confusing. Thank you for the help. I take it I'm not the only one.

Lol, I had the international Rom, pixelfy, and dragon I think it was called but none had service as good as the stock T-Mobile rom. Download speeds and radios seem to work better with stock, and I'm using it as my work phone so I have to be clean, no root. I have the note 9 for my personnel.
