Hi guys,
I have the S6 with 5.0.2 and CSC ITV (AP:G920FXXU1AOCV, CP:G920FXXU1AOCW, CSC:G920FXXU1AOCN). Since I leave in Greece, I tried to flash through odin the Stock firmware with CSC EUR but I had fails all 4 times. Tried with both odin 3.0.9 and 3.10. The problem seems to be the hidden file in the end, because everything goes fine until that moment. The result is soft brick. Any one has any idea what should I do?
I've worked with this just yesterday. If you have another firmware downloaded and it worked.. Extract the file from the firmware, from which it worked. I did this with a France version, so an African firmware will work.
Use 7-zip or WinRAR to extract the hidden file and it might be necessary to convert it into a .md5 file. Since it is an .IMG file. Once its converted use Odin and install the hidden file and it'll boot back up.
Hopefully this was clear enough for you to understand.. Maybe my method was a little confusing. It works none the less.

Thank you for the reply. I've just flashed the original firmware with CSC ITV and everything worked fine. The thing is, is there a way to flash stock firmware with EUR CSC and bypass somehow the hidden file problem, of course without trip knox?

Ok guys, Could be a simple answer. I currently have an S6 and it is unlocked and currently on German Vodafone. I have attempted to revert it to BTU firmware as I'm in the UK. I followed all the available guides to achieve this via odin but it failed almost immediately. It failed at Hidden.img I think? Anyway the phone then failed to start up and took me straight to an error screen telling me to connect it to smart switch. I then found out how to fix it and managed it so phone up and running again. Is it possible to flash the BTU firmware in the first place?
Thanks
Come on guys, surely there must have been someone out there with the same problem as me and has managed to overcome it?
The answer is:
extract the Firmware with winrar and extract the hidden.img separat to your Desktop. rename it to hidden.img.tar and Flash that again (AP), after that your phone should reboot. if not, go into recovery make a reset. Here is a link in german:
https://www.androidpit.de/forum/670145/samsung-galaxy-s6-s6-update-problem-hidden-img-fail
That's how I solved the problem with the phone going into error. I need to know if it is possible to flash the firmware BTU to my phone?

It's 100% possible but check first if the rar file is not corrupted.
I had problem with corrupted files failed in odin.
Ok, I completed yet another download of the firmware for BTU but once again the flash failed. I had to carry out flash with hidden.img.tar in order to restore phone. I don't understand why this is happening? Any ideas?
My G930F has Poland (XEO) Stock firmware with no root at all.
I am trying to install via odin Brazil (ZTO) Stock firmware using 3.11, 3.12, 1.85 but stuck on Get PIT for mapping and stops itself.
I am afraid to do something because I have just this phone like softbrick.
Does anyone knows how can I solve this, please?
I heard that I must put in odin bl, ap cp from XEO but the home csc ZTO.
You should be putting all 4 ZTO firmware files in, there's no reason for needing to use a mix of files. The 930F is the same world wide, you're not limited to using firmware from the origin country and it's probably what's causing you problems.
Also if you're flashing AP, you may as well flash the normal CSC and not home CSC. You only really use home CSC if you don't want to data wipe, but you're going to data wipe from AP anyway.
Flash this firmware (newest ZTO) http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=578B0E548EF711E7963AFA163EE8F90B with all options BL,AP,CP,CSC with Odin v3.12.3 or newer. Be sure in CSC section flash CSC file not HOME_CSC
At the first I did what you said here but with home csc. I will do again with all 4 and csc instead home csc. Thank u very much.
I am downloading to try. Thank u very much.
I downloaded the file and I did what u said but nothing happened.
what is the difference between flash CSC file or and flash HOME_CSC ?
Csc you will reset the one is already in your phone. Home csc will keep your csc and data, I think.
CSC resets the phone after flashing, HOME_CSC does not
Hello all in my haste to flash the stock Note 8 Oreo ROM I loaded the CSC file with ODIN and not the CSC_Home (As tutorial said I should) so the CSC version has been changed. Does anyone have the N950FOXM3CRC1 CSC file for me to correct this? Would be grateful for any help on this
Ok found I can use Samfirm https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Will update if this worked for me
Before I get to my question, a quick background, which might help with explaining my question. So recently I switched to another cellular carrier on my unlocked S6 Edge (G925F) and now I would like to flash the baseband from the firmware corresponding to my new carrier in order to get better/proper connectivity. I downloaded and flashed the new carrier's firmware .tar.md5 using Odin, however, in the process of flashing, Odin threw a FAIL message when flashing the hidden.img file. So I had to manually extract and flash that file again, and it worked.
Anyway, it seems like, because of the aforementioned Odin FAIL message, the flashing process did not include the new modem.img file. So now I would like to manually flash that in order to get better service on my new carrier. So how do I do that? I tried flashing just the modem.img file with Odin by selecting it in the "CP" field, however, the flashing process gets stuck on "File analysis..." and nothing gets flashed. Am I doing something wrong? Can I flash that baseband some other way?
UPDATE, SOLVED:
I figured out the solution. I had to manually create a new .tar archive (with 7zip) containing just the modem.bin file. When I tried to flash that with Odin (by adding it under the "CP" field), it successfully went through.

May I please ask you, how did you get a firmware with a modem binary inside it? So far I've downloaded two different firmwares for this device, latest baseband versions, and none of them ships a modem.bin or anything similar. I'm totally puzzled.

So were you able to get the latest baseband /modem?? And how??
So i downloaded Samsung firmware from Sammobile and i got these 4 files:
.BOOT_S7580XXUBOA1_REV00.tar.md5..CODE_S7580XXUBOA1_2814721_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
.CSC_OLB_S7580OLBBNK1_2799949_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
.MODEM_S7580XXUBOA1_REV00.tar.md5
Someone can explain where do each of these files belong to in Odin and I would be super grateful if someone could show me how to flash it by flashfire
you should have 5 files. 2 of them are nearly identical, CSC and HOME_CSC. Odin with files loaded
the only weird part is the CSC vs HOME_CSC. HOME_CSC will not factory reset your device, whereas CSC wipes everything
