Greetings fellow Samsung Galaxy Note9 users. I just purchased this brand-new in box, so I'm really, really late to this party. However, I seem to have purchased an imported set, and my seller on Shopee can't seem to tell me how I can update the phone to the latest update from Samsung. It's probably in the 6 previous threads that this matter has been addressed before, but my search-fu is not very strong.

Would appreciate any help in this matter. How do I go about loading a new firmware in the phone when OTA doesn't seem to work?

Yes, it's an Exynos, what can I say? The set originally came from Vietnam (XXV), however, the firmware is a multi-CSC (OXM) variant.

I guess what I want to know is whether or not I can flash a different CSC (exactly the XME version) rather than the XXV one, and aiyoh, I also dunno how to find the OXM firmware. I already downloaded the XXV and XME firmware for Nov 2021, now am just waiting to see if the sifu-sifu can confirm whether I won't brick my phone if I flash either one.
