I really want stock oreo but I can't use this because I'm getting no sim card error. My suspicion is that when the kennel flashes, it's flashing oreo kernel, is there a way to skip kernel flash be cause I really think that's the reason why.

No
just there is no Samsung update for this device (newer than July security patches). Theoretically I could prepare N960FXXU9FVK1 update but it would rather be a psychological update No
What do you mean by psychological update ?
I saw this update was available for United Arab Emirates and for Iraq as they are with November 2022 security update, so I wondered if they both could be use on our European device ? I guess they should be our latest update for our Galaxy Note 9...
This is the same issue with Galaxy Tab S6 LTE which have the latest update but only for Germany and no other countries...
I wanted to try to patch it with Magisk but I'm afraid it would failed as it was already the case with another older firmware when you were late with your Devbase Rom.
Creating a DevBase ROM with N960FXXU9FVK1 would be very nice if you have time to do it.

Hello _alexndr,
Thanks for all you have done and are doing to make my smartphone a breeze to have and use.
My sweet Note 9 got a bump and is seemingly going to die on me soon sadly. So crazy question it may seem but on what other newer samsung phone are you doing the same kind of beautiful work if any ? Your answer would determine the next second hand phone I'll replace it with. Yeah it might sound crazy but hey I love your work so I'd love to toggle around with your kind of work on my next smartphone.
Thanks
Ps: Hi all, just a word to all the impatient folks out there on this forum and on so many others here. (each will recognise him or her self) be nice with this dude. The work he does is probably done by passion and very certainly done on his free time so ask kindly when you ask. Actually don't even ask (apart from unbugging) just take what he very kindly offers. It just bugs me to say the least when I see some folks "request". Ok there I said, feels better once out

I second what @lezig says. I used this ROM & loved it. First thing I did when I went on to my Note 20 Ultra was check for the same ROM but unfortunately there wasn't but luckily I found a similar ROM from another Dev.
I'm giving my Note 9 to my daughter and it will be rocking this ROM

(BL update is not necessary if you are on any Q bootloader already)
NOTE: I don't have any rooted device for testing anymore, so there is still Magisk v23 inside (same as in my previous build for N960F) - old but well tested with my last rooted device I'm just not sure if a newer version works well as a task in my DevBase installer and if it works better with this device overall. This is the only set I can prepare "blindly" Of course - you can install any version of Magisk as a separate installer, after flashing this ROM

THANK YOU SOOoooo Much Alexndr !!!
I was afraid you wouldn't have enough spare time to built this Rom.
You are the best
Thank you yes i flash with twrp 3.6.1.xxxx et no problem this rom work very well, i intall Firefox kit and gravitybox, all is OK and thank you to Alexndr for this rom
The latest update for your model is dated July 2022, so don't know if it's worth for an update... ^^
But you can try to ask _Alexndr very gently in PM...
If you use the Official TWRP App you can also find the 3.7.0_9-0 version of TWRP you can flash directly without the need of a PC or you can also download it from the official Team Win Project website and you will have to install it via your actual TWRP or with PC Odin.

Try install the last official firmware with home_csc in odin. Check your cable too. It may caused by data transfer... I've resolved a same problem once. Good luck.1
Because this is how it should be done, otherwise you'll get an error and Magisk won't install !!!
FVK1 is older than FWB3 !
First make sure the options.prop file is correctly setup as described in OP !
If you're still with a Devbase custom rom with TWRP, and if you still have an older TWRP backup, then restore the EFS partition from there and reboot.
If your IMEI is still missing, remove you SIM card and reboot. Wait a while and put your SIM card back and see if you retrieve your IMEI.
If not, make sure you have a full TRWP backup (including your data partition), and optionally a SmartWitch backup to an external media : micro SD or USB device.
Make sure you have internet connection : data mobile and/or wifi
Download and install an official Samsung firmware with PC Odin (FVK1 with your current CSC). You can try both HOME_CSC or normal CSC ( you may lose your data so the reason of the backup). Do all settings including the OEM and USB debug options in Developer mode.
Once again make sure you have an internet connection and thus set up your wifi.
Watch at your IMEI and if it's not back, try to remove your SIM card and put it back after a few minutes. It may take a while before it comes back.
If all is fine, reboot in Download mode, and flash the latest TWRP available. Once again it may ask you to format your data partition. So do it and reboot. Once again you may have to rebuild all your settings...
Finally, reboot in TWRP mode and flash the Devbase rom you want and see if all is working fine.
It may take a few long minutes before it boots up in your working system.
Reboot in TWRP mode, and flash the Magisk module as described above and optionally restore your latest Data partition backup.
I understand it's a long and boring procedure but this is what you have to do after messing up your whole system...
EDIT : Forgot to say all this is available with International Galaxy Note 9 (N960F) !!!
If you have a GNote 9 from elsewhere then use the official firmware and Devbase rom from your actual place.
This procedure should NOT work with US mobile Phone as you might guess !!!1
This is for Great Britain.
But if you use @_alexndr's Devbase rom make sure you set your options.prop file to keep your current CSC.
If you flash an official Samsung firmware, then use the HOME_CSC to keep your data and your CSC.
But for some unknown reasons, it can erase your data randomly... the reason of the need to do a full TWRP backup and more specifically your data partition... ^^
And after fews way i can get back IMEI
Good news then -
97Important notes for Developers / Chefs !!!
Hello
I have decided to create a pure base with my unified installer (should work with many other Samsung devices), which can be a pattern for ROM Chefs (not only for beginners) ROM is initially safe de-bloated (read below what does it exactly mean), but all features are present and works!
ROM can be installed by normal users as well. If you like a little de-bloated ROMs, clean, but with all working features - there is no better alternative I think
ROM for N960F/DS contains OXM multi CSC package, list of available CSCs is as follow:
ACR, AFG, AFR, ATO, AUT, BGL, BNG, BRI, BTC, BTU, CAC, CAM, CPW, DBT, DKR, ECT, EGY, EUR, GLB, ILO, INS, ITV, KSA, LAO, LUX, LYS, MAT, MID, MM1, MTL, MWD, MYM, NEE, NPL, NZC, OPS, ORX, PAN, PAK, PHE, PHN, PNG, PRO, ROM, SEB, SEE, SEK, SIN, SKZ, SLK, SMA, SMP, STH, TEB, TEL, THL, THR, TMC, TNZ, TPH, TUN, TUR, VAU, VFJ, VNZ, WTL, XEF, XEH, XEO, XEU, XEZ, XFA, XFE, XID, XME, XNX, XNZ, XSA, XSG, XSP, XTC, XXV, XNF
ROM for N960N contains OKR multi CSC package, list of available CSCs is as follow: KOO, KTC, LUC, SKC
NEW !!! I present you new, unique option: "Keep current CSC", so you can install my DevBase keeping your original CSC even if it is not listed above! Note that in such case this option has some limitations - more informations you can find in related older threads, e.g. HERE
ALEXNDR.N960FXXSAFWB3:
1. Base:
- Odexed (original stock files) + stock kernel
- Multi CSC OXM (list of natively supported CSC as above) (*)
- Removed KNOX related content (useless on rooted phones)
- Removed Rlc.apk & vaultkeeperd (to avoid "OEM unlock issue")
- Rooted systemlessly (Magisk v23.0) (*)
- All original features are present and works (except KNOX related apps)
- Added "App Lock" feature (Settings -> Advanced features)
- No visual changes (100% stock look)
2. CscFeature MOD (enabled some built-in, hidden features):
- Added shutter sound menu in Camera app
- Sending/receiving MMS without data on
- Show SMS/MMS sending time instead of receiving
- Added "Call/Message block" option in Settings
- Added "Show network speed" toggle (Settings -> Display -> Status bar)
- Added "LTE Only" network mode (NOTE: voice calls may not work in this mode)
- 4G/3G network support in any CSC (master/slave SIM, applies to dual SIM variants)
- Call Recording (via "Record" button or "Auto record calls" option)
- Enabled "Recent App Protection" feature
3. Xposed framework & Xposed Installer app [optional] (*)
- NOTE: Applies to Oreo DevBase. There is no Xposed for Pie yet
4. Virtual / physical Safe De-Bloat (more info below) (*)
(*) - these options can be controlled by editing options.prop file (you can find such file in ZIP's root directory). Just place modified options.prop file (use e.g. Notepad++ to edit) in the root directory of internal emulated scdard (/data/media/0) or extSdCard (recommended if you plan to format internal emulated sdcard) and then start the installation. More info below:
NEW !!! Starting from DevBase v3.0 there is a new customization method - you can change frequently switched root options or encrypt your device just by renaming installer's ZIP file name (instead of editing options.prop file). Currently supported "strings" in the file name: "noroot", "encrypt", "rescue", "xposed", "CSC_xxxx.zip":
Case 1 (default) - install the ROM with Magisk & MagiskSU as root solution
(just flash ZIP file "as it is")
Case 2 - do not root device
(place "noroot" string anywhere in the ZIP file name, e.g. "N960Fxxx_DevBase_v6.x_noroot.zip")
Regardless of the above root options, starting from DevBase v4.4+, you can also use "encrypt" option (place "encrypt" string anywhere in the ZIP file name, e.g. "N960Fxxx_DevBase_v6.x_encrypt.zip"). All your data will be encrypted "on-the-fly" at next boot after ROM update/reinstall. Wipe data is NOT necessary to use this option. You will NOT lose your data & apps but it is extremely important - do not interrupt encryption process during this "special" boot! Booting can take much longer and you may think it is a bootloop, but it isn't! If you have a large amount of used data - it is recommended to connect your phone to the charger during boot (and open a beer to avoid heart attack while waiting). You do not need to use "encrypt" option again in case of another DevBase update(s) - please read carefully notes below.
In DevBase ROM v4.5+ there is a "rescue" option, which may be especially helpful in case of encrypted device if you experienced bootloop caused by e.g. systemless mod/module/xposed stored on /data (without access to /data from TWRP). In case of bootloop just place "rescue" string anywhere in the ZIP file name, e.g. "N960Fxxx_DevBase_v6.x_rescue.zip" and then (re)install the ROM - should help in case of (probably) all possible bootloop reasons. In addition to the normal (re)installation of the ROM (thus restoring the original /system, kernel, modem, etc.) this option will also force "Core Only Mode" in Magisk and will move all SYSTEMLESS DevBase modifications to /data/devbase/system/.backup, before performing bind mounts, so original files will be used.
In DevBase ROM v4.6+ there is a possibility to force CSC by renaming ZIP file name - this is the only case-sensitive variable which have to be put at the beginning of ZIP file name and must be folloed by "_" (due to the fact that there is a high risk that ZIP file name may contain CSC code accidentally). Example (to force CSC DBT): "DBT_N960Fxxx_DevBase_v6.x.zip"
In DevBase ROM v5.6+ there is "xposed" option which allows you to force Xposed framework installation. It is NOT forced by default - you need to force it manually while installing ROM with Xposed first time, renaming ZIP's file name to e.g. "N960Fxxx_DevBase_v6.x_xposed.zip". Next ROM's updates will detect and apply Xposed profile automatically, unless you wipe /system - then auto detection is not possible.
Notes related to encrypted devices:
Notes related to EFS backup:
Installation:
TWRP recovery (KNOX 0x1): open file using "Install (Zip)" option and confirm operation. If you want to perform "clean install' - perform "wipe data/factory reset" BEFORE flashing Zip!
Wipe data is NOT required if you are coming from stock ROM (already rooted) or a previous version of my DevBase (if you leave "Keep current CSC" option untouched in /options.prop or if you choose same CSC as you are currently using). In other cases - wipe data is highly recommended!
I do not recommend using any additional "superwipes" or format /system before install my DevBase (my installer cleans your system well enough!).

As usual - you can dirty flash it over previous version :good:
Download ROM:
SM-N960F/DS:
NOTE1: If you are on Pie or older bootloader, then after flashing the ROM it is mandatory to flash also Android Q bootloader - otherwise device will not boot with Android Q based ROM!
NOTE2: It is highly recommended to use TWRP 3.2.3.0 (e.g. THIS build). For some reason there is "make_ext4fs: not found" error in newer TWRP versions and in result "Failed! Not enough space..." appears while applying CSC (CSC content will be incomplete). Note 9 is the only device with this issue and I'm not able to play with it because I do not have N960F device phisically. More info HERE
NOTE3: If you want to perform clean install with encryption - it is highly recommended to use TWRP 3.2.3.0 to format /data. More info about bug with TWRP 3.3.1.x - HERE21Thread has been updated, S4CSK2 DevBase v6.0 (December security patches, changelist 16685647)

Download ROM:
SM-N960F/DS:
(BL update is not necessary if you are on any Q bootloader already)
NOTE1: If your current bootloader is Pie or older - it is mandatory to update bootloader to Q - otherwise ROM will not boot. Flashing order is not very important, but it is much better to flash ROM as first and then BL - one by one - due to auto reboot command at the end of BL flashing script
NOTE2: Dirty flash over Pie BevBase is also possible without issues, but before you try - I would highly recommend you to set default (stock) theme, set default (stock) icons and temporarily disable all Magisk's modules (or just enable "Magisk Core Only Mode") !!! However, before you report any problem, please try if it occurs also after clean install to let me know if it is related to dirty update or the ROM itself.
NOTE3: If you want to perform clean install with encryption - it is highly recommended to use TWRP 3.2.3.0 (e.g. THIS build) to format /data. More info about bug with TWRP 3.3.1.x - HERE
NOTE4: Note that if something will go wrong then you will not be able to restore standard System backup. To avoid problems with restoring backup(s) you need to perform following backups: (1) "System Image" (NOT "System" !!!), (2) "Data (excl. storage)", (3) "Boot", (4) "Baseband", (5) "Vendor Image", (6) "Carrier Configs"
