Yes, got mine there from Amazon. Us factory unlocked. I'm also looking for flashing but also afraid of bricking the device.
Official Firmware thread - All Regions (as available) - OXM for SM-G960F models
- Thread starter itskapil
- Start date
Bought mine in a best buy.
I'm the same "problem" as you.
I have a factory unlocked G960F/DS I bought on eBay, service provider code is AFG (Afganistan), it's on BRF8 firmware now but I want to reflash stock firmware because I messed with the OEM unlock option after 7 days and now it's gone.
Is it okay if I install this OXM firmware to make it brand new? I'm from México so I use a mexican sim.

Another potentially daft question here. I have the UK Vodafone vodafone version of the phone and am unlocking it. I also would prefer to move over to stock UK unlocked firmware, which appears to be G960FXXU1BRF8 for BTU (although query - what is the difference between XEU and BTU - is it still just that BTU is for handsets that come directly from samsung?)
If I flash with ODIN, will I trip Knox and will I get OTA updates in the future?
Thanks very much for any thoughts!

Flashing official firmwares trough odin never trip Knox!

You won't trip KNOX flashing stock, and you will still get OTA at the time that region firmware gets them, not vodafone
If I use the ATT room on my SM-G960U1 will I be able to get WiFi calling and Volte?
Well this may sound as a noobish question but its my first time flashing with odin and i wanted to know if i use this firmware i will get the last update for my s9 (August Patch) ?
Hi I’ve just got an Vodafone branded s9 with bre1 software is it possible to flash crgh straight away or do I need to do the install in stages?
All stock firmwares are full images, just flash whichever one you want
Which csc is in this firmware?
Is it INS(indian?)

You can install XEU firmware. Your device's CSC will remain unchanged when you select HOME_CSC file in the CSC tab. Only when you select the CSC file in place of HOME_CSC file, Odin will install the XEU CSC.
Select HOME_CSC doesn't change the CSC, that is it.
So if I don't change the csc i wont be able to get ota updates from xeu right?
UAE poorly pushes updates,so i want to change it to some csc which have better support.
Also this is the latest build right?
Can i flash it regardless of the current firmware?

Flashed my UK '3' S9 with the firmware linked in the first post (SM-G960F (single SIM) )
All appeared to work fine
But now I have the dreaded 'no entry' sign rather than mobile network bars.
Doesn't even seem to know the sim is in.
Tried reflashing again.
Tried resetting mobile network
I have fixed the issue now by following this tutorial and downloading an alternative Firmware version.

Would be interested to know if the firmware linked in the first post is meant for UK, because it did not seem to work for me.
