    Note 9 SD card sideloads /firmware how to.

    Ok, I honestly cannot thank you guys enough for all the help that you've given me. It's very late (do you guys sleep? lol. Worked out well for me.) but here I sit, with my phone recovered because of an update that you guys posted to this or another thread earlier (and I'm now on the June patch...

    Note 9 SD card sideloads /firmware how to.

    So, that's the odd part. I got that firmware file from the reddit link (which, maybe it's for the wrong phone or something), and tried flashing it with the Odin 3.13 B, and the very first time it tried to flash, it failed. Not once has it worked, and I've tried two different firmware downloads...

    Note 9 SD card sideloads /firmware how to.

    So, that's one of the crappy parts. I can't get into the regular download mode. When I do the correct key combination, (Vol down + Bixby + power), it gives me the regular prompt, volume up to continue, volume down to cancel, and when I hit volume up to continue, it just goes back to that "An...

    Note 9 SD card sideloads /firmware how to.

    Oh, are you saying Odin is corrupt, or the firmware files I'm using?

    Note 9 SD card sideloads /firmware how to.

    Ok. Weird that this would be happening with multiple downloads. Any suggestions on where to get the files?

    Note 9 SD card sideloads /firmware how to.

    Failed again at the exact same step. I think it's always the same: system.img.ext4. Do I need to format this thing, or something? Maybe the file structure is messed up? (My IT experience is coming out now.)

    Note 9 SD card sideloads /firmware how to.

    Nope. The file posted at the first link in post 74 of this very forum. Trying again with the USERDATA box filled. (What is that one, anyway?) I know that the others are bootloader, network, etc., but I don't know what that one is.

    Note 9 SD card sideloads /firmware how to.

    Ok, it failed again. These were the settings.

    Note 9 SD card sideloads /firmware how to.

    Thanks. So, I had another idea. I downloaded the file that you mentioned earlier in the thread; I think it's the September patch. I'm transferring it to another computer now and am going to try that. The first time that I tied this, I used all the slots in Odin except for USERDATA, because a...

    Note 9 SD card sideloads /firmware how to.

    Oh, and I forgot to mention the build number. I can't get that. Whenever I do the button combination to get into download mode, it takes me back to that same message: "An error occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software."...

    Note 9 SD card sideloads /firmware how to.

    So, I'm pretty sure it's the SM-960U. It's the AT&T locked Note 9 128GB. I tried downloading the firmware from sammobile, but it looks like they won't let me download it with a free account. I couldn't find a link; only links to upgrade to premium. Sorry; I'm probably not thinking very clearly...

    Note 9 SD card sideloads /firmware how to.

    First of all, THANK YOU THANK YOU for getting back to me. I can't tell you the model number because I can't get into the OS. I've been trying to find it online. I've used Odin 3.13.1 3B Patched, 3.13.1, and 3.14.1. All of them fail.

    Note 9 SD card sideloads /firmware how to.

    Hey, all. I know that this thread is really old, but I'm having some huge issues with my Note 9. Every time I try to flash the firmware (found in the reddit post here https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyNote9/comments/evbpy6/n960u_android_10_download/ ), it fails. I've tried multiple times. I've used...

    Note 9 SD card sideloads /firmware how to.

    Hey, thanks for this. When I click the link for the file in post 38. it says that the file doesn't exist. Also, when I'm finally ready to flash, are the updates cumulative, or do I need to install all the updates before whatever one I install? I want to make sure that I get the camera...

    Note 9 SD card sideloads /firmware how to.

    Hey, all. I was in this thread earlier, and now I'm back. So, I've got an AT&T Note 9 that won't update...again. Oddly, this is the second device that's doing this, so there's obviously something wrong with them. I got AT&T to send me a new one, and this one's screwing up as well. So, I...
