Samsung Galaxy Note9 N960WVLS5ETH1 Firmware

Samsung Galaxy Note9 N960WVLS5ETH1 is an Android 10 firmware for Canada (BMC, BWA, CHR, ESK, FMC, GLW, KDO, MTB, PCM, PMB, RWC, SOL, SPC, TLS, VMC, VTR, XAC). It is the same firmware configured per region and carrier (CSC). Find your country below, verify the file and download for free. Compared with the previous build N960WVLU4ETG1: bootloader binary raised from 4 to 5, so after installing it there is no way back to older builds; security patch 2020-08-01 instead of 2020-07-01. A newer build for SM-N960W is available: N960WVLU9FVG2.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    N960WVLS5ETH1 is Android 10 firmware for Samsung Galaxy Note9, released for Canada (BMC, BWA, CHR, ESK, FMC, GLW, KDO, MTB, PCM, PMB, RWC, SOL, SPC, TLS, VMC, VTR, XAC). It includes the 2020-08-01 security patch. Samsung built it on 2020-08-10.

    No. A newer build for SM-N960W is available: N960WVLU9FVG2. Install it instead of N960WVLS5ETH1 unless you need this exact version. The previous build was N960WVLU4ETG1.

    Download the package for your region (CSC) and unzip it. In Odin, load each file into the slot with the same name: BL, AP, CP (if the package has one) and CSC, or HOME_CSC to keep your data. Odin checks the built-in checksum of every .tar.md5 file before flashing. The download is 4.538 GiB; keep about twice that free on the computer to unzip it. The Samsung Galaxy Note9 must be on bootloader binary 5 or lower.

    This build uses bootloader binary 5. It can be flashed on a Samsung Galaxy Note9 running binary 5 or lower; if the device already has a higher binary, Odin stops with "SW REV CHECK FAIL". 4 other builds of this model use the same binary, so you can switch between them in both directions.
