Question using AP,BL,CSC instead of Home

Hi I usually download from sammobile where they have one file and I select ap it does everything itself. However I have downloaded from updato website it has given loads of small files like ap, bl, csc.. Do I use all them for the upgrade on odin or can I just up the ap?
the files are like the following: BL_G935FXXU1DQB3_CL10422490_QB12410567_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
my version on my current phone is g935fxxu1bplb
Thanks

Do NOT select the regular CSC file that starts with CSC in its name, as that would replace your CSC and thus would result in a factory data reset of the device.
Click on CSC tab and select the firmware file starting with HOME_CSC in its name

You need to flash all of them (bt/ap/cp). Regarding the csc: if your csc is equal (or included in case of multi-csc roms) to the one of the rom you are going to flash (meaning: you have installed a BTU rom and you are going to flash a rom with the BTU csc) then use the home_csc as it will update the csc to its latest version without making a factory reset. If your csc doesn't match with the one of the new rom then you either use the home_csc of your actual rom or use the CSC file (bot the home) of the new one (this will factory reset your phone so backup first)

Sorry I've mistaken you with another user I think, but I STILL neeed your help mate

Finally fixed the issue. I just had to let the AP file load even though the widnow said it was not responding, aslong as i didnt click on the window and make it freeze, it eventually settled in there. along with the CSC files bl.cp. etc/ Thanks for this life saving info you've got going here guys

Galaxy S7 G930F - DBT / Downgrade from Android 7.0 to Android 6.0.1 possible ?

Hello,
Is it possible to downgrade from Nougat back to Marshmellow without triggering Knox ?
I upgraded my S7 via OTA Update. Now i have big trouble with the GPS indoors while playing Pokemon Go. The location via wifi seems messed up in 7.0. On 6.0.1 i never had problems.
Can i just flash the latest 6.0.1 (G930FDBT1BPH2) via Odin ? Or can there be a problem with the Bootloader which could be upgraded during the 7.0 Update ?
Does this procedure trigger Knox ? I want to keep the phone on Stock Firmware without rooting oder custom Firmware.
I downloaded the 6.0.1 from updateo with the following files :
AP_G930FXXU1BPLB_CL9689434_QB11912457_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
BL_G930FXXU1BPLB_CL9689434_QB11912457_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CP_G930FXXU1BPJJ_CL9519568_QB11350220_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CSC_DBT_G930FDBT1BPH2_CL8887037_QB10698583_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_DBT_G930FDBT1BPH2_CL8887037_QB10698583_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Can i just fire up Odin and put these files according the first letters in the fields ?
Greetings,
Chris

Yea just flash with ODIN
CSC = Reset (You'll need to choose this one to downgrade as 7.0 apps are not compatible with 6.0)
HOME_CSC = No reset
Only flashing custom will trip knox, flashing stock with ODIN will not trip it

Thank you
Just for my safety
I need the first 4 files. Put em into the 4 fields in Odin 3.11.1 including BL - Bootloader (This part ist the most fear for me ) and flash them with "F-Reset Time" and "Auto Reboot" selected ?
After rebooting the phone a Full wipe is a good thing, i think.

Use ODIN 3.12.3 or newer, that version is too old
3.12.7
Code:
https://mega.nz/#!jUgRiTSa!fnAVwr7yFi4dlPk4V0oQ5DuoFe3iiG0jH-ws91IHOPc
Flash AP, BL, CP and CSC
The phone will automatically factory reset after the flash so no need to wipe again
DO NOT change anything in ODIN, leave everything as it is

Thank you for your Help. I´ll do it exact this way

Hello I am very new to this and like to know if i can downgrade too from android 7 if there is a security path already applied to the phone? Can I also just flash it with Odin stock rom?
Do I need the exact build number or just model number? And does model number needs to be the same so I got SM g930v? Can I flash from different country that is not G930V but G930F
And would the PDA number also need to match? Thanks for helping!

You cannot flash a G930F firmware on a G930V device. They have different hardware. You need to flash G930V firmware

thank you can you tell me why it needs the exact same model number when the phone is still the same S7?
1. how about PDA will i need that the long build number will that needs to be the same?
2. I will need to flash the same model number to root it? And not a different model number?
Thanks!

Can you explain why the hardware is different?
And with Flashing using ODIN do I only need the model number and nothing else?

The USA variants use a qualcomm chipper, the G930F (international model) uses an exynos chipper. You will end up bricking it by trying to flash incompatible firmware

S7 G930F stuck on odin "Get PIT for Mapping"

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

Going back to stock ROM from Note ROM - are there problems? (G955F)

Hi!
I have a question, I am on the CARHDRom, not the 8.0 but the Note ported ROM from about a month ago.
Can I use ODIN and flash the stock ROM for the G955F with the 4 files to have a "clean" handy without root and with the settings as it came from the factory?
The 4 part ODIN Firmware I have is the AQH3 Firmware. If someone can answer, have I got to use the HOME_CSC or the other CSC file? The Firmware is DBT (for germany) and this is right for me.
Any help needed
lienot

You can return your phone to fresh using the stock OEM ROM. Use the stock CSC file, as that will clear our your Note 8 port CSC, which I'd guess you'd have.
Don't use the Home CSC, unless you wish to have your old CSC data remain on the phone.

Thanks a Lot,
No I finally know the exact difference between the two CSC files.

Yes you can flash the 4-file firmware, using AP, BL, CP and CSC_OXM (not HOME_CSC).
Just keep in mind that AQH3 is quite old (August 2017), and the newest firmware available is AQL5 (December 2017).
You should flash that instead.

Trying to Unroot g930aucs4bql1 via Odin

Hello,
During an attempt to recover data on the phone after a factory reset mishap, the phone was rooted by a 3rd party program.
I wanted to do a fresh install of the stock firmware but I keep getting a fail message via Odin when trying to flash the firmware from the Unroot forum.
As posted in the title the current firmware is from the December update and I cannot for the life of me find a download for it. Am I missing something obvious here ?

If your goal is a fresh start on stock firmware, don't use any customised unroot firmware files.
Just go to sammobile.com or updato.com and download the correct stock firmware for your model, and flash all 4 firmware files (CP, CSC, AP, BL).
Flashing stock firmware via Odin will undo root, there's no need to use specific unroot firmware.

Sorry for hijacking the thread but I've a question that is somewhat connected to the OP's one.
Will flashing stock firmware with Odin check my void_warranty flag? I f***ed up and my S7 constantly talks that unauthorized actions have been detected.

Stock firmware via Odin will not trip knox or any warranty flags
