It's having issues with opening a com port to phone.

So try another USB port and/or cable. Make sure Odin says that phone is recognized by Odin.

I Tried to change a port and I have the original cable.
I don't know what to do?
I need to try install other firmware?

Is the port on phone clean?

Try another Odin version?

Which firmware you are on?

And what firmware are you trying to flash?

List the full firmware name. Eg. N950FXXU5CRK1

Then that's ur issue. You can not downgrade your bootloader version from version 5 to version 4, 3,2,1.

Can't go from N950FXXU"5"CSA3 (latest firmware) to N950FXXS"1"AQK9.


You can only flash any firmware with "5" or higher # .

My Baseband version is:
N950FXXU5CRHA
Maybe I can flash Korea last firmware?
I want join the beta and I saw only India and Korea can join the beta on Note 8.

Not going to work for the Korean one the updat.zip is for n950f not n950n.

Try this:

Download N950FXXU5SCA3 for INS using samfirm
Use the latest Odin to flash it.
Make sure that your on N950FXXU5SCA3 after flash.
Download the update.zip from the pie beta thread.
Place it on a sd card (no folders just root directory)
Reboot into recovery and update from sd card and select update.zip file.

For you to join the beta program you have to have a phone that's from India/UK/Korea and have a SIM card that's from there and be there as well. It won't work if your outside the region with a different SIM card.

I have tried to join the pie beta with my n950f XEU from UK (which beta pie is available for) but since I'm in Canada with a Canadian sim card the Samsung member app won't allow me to join because of my Canadian sim card.

So the only way to get the beta pie is to do it manually by doing the above steps.
