Is your device 2d hand? If it is then I believe it has been rooted.

The box all the same had the retail seals on it? Then your device maybe brand new. In which case I would return it to the retailer and ask for a replacement.

FOUND the answer

I HAVE found the source, i have a phone with same verbal situation as the person who started this thread and i did some investigating and i found out my model is actually the korean variant of the notation 9 single sim converted to duos variant F model with dual sim tray installed, meaning if you become to download way you will be greeted by Korean and once y'all printing volume up, you tin can encounter in the top left that its actually SM-N960N variant, only if y'all check the imei in the phone it will say its the F variant meaning imei have also been changed.
So if you flash stock rom yous volition lose dual sim status and probably bask korean language on the welcome page on loading up the phone and might even lose 4g 3g connectivity cause korean 4g/3g bands are different compared to india.

jijeshvu07

I Accept institute the source, i take a phone with same exact situation as the person who started this thread and i did some investigating and i institute out my model is actually the korean variant of the note 9 single sim converted to duos variant F model with dual sim tray installed, pregnant if yous get to download way you will exist greeted by Korean and once you press volume up, you tin see in the tiptop left that its actually SM-N960N variant, merely if you lot check the imei in the phone it will say its the F variant meaning imei take also been inverse.
So if you flash stock rom you volition lose dual sim status and probably enjoy korean language on the welcome page on loading upwards the phone and might even lose 4g 3g connectivity cause korean 4g/3g bands are different compared to india.

Did you lot constitute any solutions to the problem??

Ahmed123004

Sadly no

Did you found any solutions to the problem??

This is a risky procedure, nosotros may loose our imei numbers or lose 4g connectivity, and so for now ill stick with this rom, flashing the stock firmware and then upgrading to android 10 and redoing the unabridged conversion again from an N variant to an F/DS variant might be an option but that requires tools and skill, that is not easy.

So if yous flash stock rom y'all will lose dual sim status and probably enjoy korean language on the welcome page on loading upwardly the phone and might even lose 4g 3g connectivity cause korean 4g/3g bands are different compared to republic of india.

No, you won't as the Korean N960N is essentially the same as the N960F (single SIM model). They are both GSM devices and will run on any global GSM Cell network. I have a N960N and I am using information technology on a Hong Kong Cell network and I get excellent coverage.

Also you tin change the language during the Setup process, I believe information technology is on the bottom of the screen. I can't call back as information technology has been a while since I setup a Note 9.

Ahmed123004 · Aug 25, 2020

No, you won't every bit the Korean N960N is substantially the same as the N960F (single SIM model). They are both GSM devices and volition run on whatever global GSM Jail cell network. I have a N960N and I am using it on a Hong Kong Cell network and I go excellent coverage.
Also yous tin can modify the language during the Setup procedure, I believe it is on the bottom of the screen. I can't call back as it has been a while since I setup a Note 9.

Upshot beingness nosotros might loose our changed imeis if nosotros flash stock firmware because the electric current imeis are not the original imei for the N variant but show up every bit F variant instead.

What options practice we have in club to update to a later version? Is it possible to flash a stock ROM downloaded using Bifrost, and will that have whatsoever impact on the IMEIs and serial number? Can Knox exist 'untripped' or the phone unrooted?
