You CAN'T FLASH -F- firmware on a -N- device!

Got it on ebay. I will search the link.

It there a way to switch csc?

Nope: it's a different model (hence -N- instead of -F-)

Why didn't you buy the SM-N950F ?

i bought it from South Korea, the 256Gb unlocked version. Now just trying to debrand it.

If you're worried about bloat, I'd suggest BK Disabler from the PlayStore or if you are more comfortable, ADB.

Alternately, I am inclined to agree with @henklbr; a F branded Note would give you root and less bloat.

Not sure where you guys got that idea, it is quite possible to flash different firmware between similar models. You can indeed flash different CSC as well, assuming it is ported for the new phone so that the flash doesn't mess up any partiotions.

Please don't spread misinformation just because you don't know how things work or how to do something.

Thanks. Are you familiar with unbranded csc that can work?

i'm in a similar boat. I bought the N950N Korean variant 256gb model but i live in australia and they werent selling that variant here. I want to flash the N950F (australian non carrier firmware). its downloading now but not sure if it will work, i will report back here. I dont have positive hopes though since that rom is for 64gb models im not sure if it will mess the partitions for my 256gb model. it will be interesting to know if anyone has been successful before

I beg your pardon?

I know very well what you can/can't flash dude!

Do your homework!

Curious if you ever got this to work? I'm in the same situation with the exact same device.

Thanks!

I'm in the same situation, I wanna change csc to turn off camera shutter sound and use Samsung pay in my country.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon

Odin won't let you flash it but you can use Odin to flash TWRP, and then use TWRP to flash a zip of a 950F ROM.

That's mean I have to root my phone, right?

Not exactly but installing TWRP will trip Knox so Samsung Pay & other things related won't work.

I'm not willing to do that since I would like to use Samsung pay, that's sad...
