UPDATE (7 APRIL 2022): Samsung has officially declared the Galaxy S9 and S9+ EOL. They will no longer be supported, and FVB4 will most probably be the final build for this device.
Latest stable firmware:
G965FXXUHFVG4 / G965FOXMHFVB4 / G965FXXUHFVB4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to flash the stock Odin flashable firmware:
1) Download Odin v3.13.1 - Link
2) Extract the firmware file you just downloaded. You should get 5 files:
AP (System & Recovery)
BL (Bootloader)
CP (Modem / Radio)
CSC_OXM (OXM CSC file, will wipe your phone)
HOME_CSC_OXM (OXM CSC file, will NOT wipe your phone)
3) Add each file to it's respective field in Odin v3.13.1. Use CSC_OXM if you want to do a clean flash and HOME_CSC OXM if you want to keep your apps and data.
4) Reboot your phone in Download / Odin mode with the following button combo:
POWER + VOLUME DOWN + BIXBY
5) Once in download mode, connect your phone to the PC, preferably using the original USB cable you got with your phone. Odin should detect your device and a blue box will show up with the COM port number.
6) Do NOT tick any extra boxes. The only options to be ticked are F.Reset Time and Auto-Reboot.
7) Click the start button, wait for Odin to say 'PASS'. Once the flash is complete, your phone will reboot.
Firmware screenshots, changelog, and download links will be in 2nd post of this thread.

FAQs:
1) Will this trip KNOX, and will I lose my warranty?
Answer: Short answer would be no, your KNOX counter will remain at 0x0 and warranty stays valid as well.
However, some service centers might note regional differences between builds based on the latest build available for your CSC, indicating that the phone has been flashed, so if you're sending your device in for a service/repair/replacement, then I'd suggest flashing to the latest build available for your home country's CSC. Usually not required though, so not a big deal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) What if the firmware build number mentioned above is not available for my CSC, can I still flash it?
Answer: Yes, if your current CSC is part of the OXM multi-CSC. You can check that using the Google Doc I made here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IQglKMUCJXfs5UIeSehd1d6s5a6Rh_fC1WuPdycxotY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) I flashed 'XXXX' build, but now I can't get OTAs for a newer build that's available on my CSC?
Answer: Now, I'll be using fake build numbers in this example, but you should still understand how I'm explaining this.
Suppose your current build is very old, XXU1ARA1, and the latest available multi-CSC OXM build is XXU1BRA1, so you flash it on your device.
Now, BRA1 is not released for your specific CSC, so you won't get OTAs for it to any further builds because no subsequent OTA file exists on the Samsung server for your CSC.
Samsung will then release a new build for your CSC called XXU1BRA2, so the only OTA file existing on the server for your CSC is XXU1ARA1 > XXU1BRA2, so an OTA from XXU1BRA1 > XXU1BRA2 will not be possible, and the only way to regain the ability to get OTAs, is by flashing BRA2 and then accepting further OTAs from there on.
This may seem cumbersome to some people, but if you're impatient and always want the latest build, then just continue flashing as you normally would.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Can I flash the ROM in the main post without flashing the builds that came before it?
Answer: Yes you can. When flashing ROMs with Odin, you don't need to be on a specific build to flash them. They don't need to be flashed in order.
You can be on the oldest possible build and flash directly to the latest one.
Important:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The files linked in this thread are ONLY compatible with the following devices:
SM-G965F (International Single SIM)

Latest OXM ROM for S9+
This ROM was released on 6 March 2022 and can be used for all OXM Multi-CSCs, you can check the list below to see if your CSC is part of OXM:

THanks for doing this - very helpful -
@murtaza02 nice thread, I think you will find this link useful - http://downloadmirror.co/Wol/G965FXXU1ARC5_G965FOXM1ARC4_XEU.zip
Yes, it's OXM one, the same one you mentioned above.

The stock firmwares linked here are either to update your phone manually or to return to the stock firmware if your phone is rooted and you want to remove root and any modifications.
Thanks for your immediate reply. I just got my s9+ but I hesitate to root now. I have one year warranty on it.
There is a newer OXM firmware available now. It's G965FXXU1ARC6 from the CSC XSA.

It's the same as ARC5 but released specifically for XSA (Australia). The changelist is exactly the same and the changelog mentioned by Samsung is the exact same for ARC5 and ARC6. I didn't post it because it's unnecessary and brings nothing new to the table.

CSC is not supposed to change after flashing. That's the whole point of of the OXM multi-CSC.

First you have to flash a carrier firmware (not part of OXM), without the SIM card inserted in your phone. Then you have to flash back to ARC5 OXM, also without a SIM card insterted in your phone. Then activate your phone without a SIM card and after going through the setup wizard, then you can put your SIM back in.
Even then, there's no guarantee that the CSC changes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
I'm not providing any further support for this in this thread or via PM as this wasn't the purpose that I created the thread for.
Bixby is overrated. The effort required to change CSC is not worth it. You may enjoy it for one day, maybe two days, but after that, it'll just be another gimmick.
Use Google Assistant instead if you really want to.

This firmware works on multiple countries, including UK.
Check the OXM countries list in the 2nd post. If your country or CSC is listed there, this firmware (and all future ones) will be compatible.

I have found the schedule for the monthly security patch updates on the Nokia website, and thought it could be useful to share. Apparently, not all builds* get the security patch (SP) / maintenance release (MR) at same timeframe.
Build Number
00WW_2_13B_SP02 - SP Only (Oreo 8.1) - Jun-18 on Wednesday, June 13, 2018
00WW_2_22A_SP01 - SP Only (Oreo 8.1) - Jun-18 on Wednesday, June 13, 2018
00WW_2_22A - MR Update and SP (Oreo 8.1) - May-18 on Wednesday, May 16, 2018
00WW_2_13B_SP01 - SP Only (Oreo 8.1) - May-18 on Saturday, May 19, 2018
00WW_2_13B - MR Update and SP (Oreo 8.1) - Apr-18 on Wednesday, April 11, 2018
Link: https://www.nokia.com/en_int/phones/security-updates
It could indeed be usefull, although all these dates have passed already.
Though one can calculate that mostly in the 3rd week of the month a security patch will be released.
From the link that you supplied, a new link to the Security Bulletins are given and those give a more detailed insights in the previous releases and upcoming (july) release.
It seems the July security patch for Oreo is up

Hope the Gcam Mod now works!
Yup ! July Security Update is here!
If someone is brave enough to install July update, please check with Gcam mods & share here
I am still camping on May update with Gcam Mod V3 working fine.
Thanks,
Sony.
Ooo, don't you know? There is a new gcam version which works with both june and july updates...

N7+ software is getting android P beta so its not required to provide security updates, beta software itself get monthly updates. Security updates will resume once the official android P ll be launched

Thanks for the replies
My phone is also TA-1055
I am still a bit confused, why would the nokia 8 receive security updates for android 8.1.0 and not the N7+?
Imchandu03, not sure if I understand correctly, but are you saying that because android P beta is receiving updates the stable version (android 8.1) will not be updated until android P stable is released?

Right, once the stable version of Android P releases the monthly updates will be resumed.

My nokia 7 plus is also TA-1055 and it had been updated with the last July security update.

This one works, but the result of a picture taken is not the same as I had in the view finder. It is as if the second camera (with 2x zoom) is taken and not the first camera with normal lens.
NOkia doesnt offer security update for TA-1062
Hi everyone,
Hope you've all been doing well and enjoying a nice weekend.
Wanted to get a hold of you to ask if anyone knows if the SM-N985F Android 13 official upgrade with the October 2022 security patch is Flashable via Odin?
Are there any complications? Also, if there's no complications, which Odin version should I use? Should I keep the defaults or should I tick anything additionally?
I'm unrooted - always have been - so, I'm only looking to clean flash the official firmware I've downloaded from SamMobile.com (as most do with all new firmware upgrades).
Thank you very much in advance.
