When we flash this latest update, there's no need to flash official firmware via Odin, and ota should work?

If you are in Germany and your original CSC is DBT, probably yes.
Otherwise, I do believe you must flash the firmware from your country, then you can get OTA as usual.

Negative...

If this build is released in your country too, you'll get OTA-updates...

If a "newer build" is released in your country, then you should update first in order to get OTA's again...

This build had Multi-CSC OXM; if your current CSC is in OXM -> you'll receive updates because your CSC is NOT changed to DBT!)

I am not sure that you have a true because I had ORX 8.1 fw with 4 DBT ? betas (from this thread) so I think that other OTA updates come normally in near future.

Final DBT Pie version not yet live on SamFirm.exe, so i guess its a final shakedown to test for any remaining bugs.

Is it obligatory to do a hard reset.

Sorry if this has been asked a million times. I'm coming from iPhone so all this is new to me.

I'm in South Africa with XFA firmware. SM-N960F (Exynos)

Will everything (ie calls, sms, reception etc) be fine if I use this guide to get Pie on my device?

    Samsung’s customer support staff may be wrong and clueless too many times to count, but they might have been right about the Galaxy Note 9 joining the One UI (Android Pie) beta. Well, Samsung might have, at the very least, pondered starting a Galaxy Note 9 Android Pie beta program even if it won’t actually do it. This is supported by test Pie firmware discovered by GalaxyClub for the Note 9 in Europe and South Korea.

    Galaxy Note 9 Android Pie beta still possible?
    Samsung is currently testing firmware versions N960FXXU2ZRKE and N960NKSU2ZRKF for the Galaxy Note 9. The interesting part here is the letter ‘Z’ in the build number. It has been used by Samsung for beta firmware since it began having public beta programs with the Galaxy S6. The Galaxy S9’s One UI beta, for example, comes with build number G960FXXU2ZRKA in Germany. And, before Android Pie, no such test firmware were ever spotted for a Galaxy Note flagship while a beta program was going on for that year’s Galaxy S smartphone.

    It makes the presence of such firmware for the Galaxy Note 9 quite interesting. And with the Galaxy S9 beta program having started less than a week ago, Samsung does have time to include the Galaxy Note 9 in the program. But, as we said at the beginning, it’s also possible the company has backed out of doing that despite having planned it at some point. We hope that’s not the case, of course, and we will now be spending all our waking hours looking at the Samsung Members app on the Galaxy Note 9 for any sign of the Android Pie/One UI beta.
