Going back to stock ROM from Note ROM - are there problems? (G955F) - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

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

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.

Flashing only AP File

Hi guys
i got S7 930FD XSG,
Rooted using this Method [Recovery][Exynos] Official TWRP for Galaxy S7 (herolte)
Somehow mistakenly Turned off OEM
Device locked, Reinstalled Stock ROM using "Smart Switch"
Again rooted by above method.
Now OTA updates aren't available.
So I have two question, actually one confusion and one question.
As when i reinstalled ROM using Smart Switch, in Smart Switch it says "930F" instead of 930FD, while is device info it say 930FD.
1. are there same or single system/OS for both version ?
If yes, then can i install ROM of 930F XSG, with same AP and CSC of My device, i am attaching screenshot to share more info...
View attachment 4057525
View attachment 4057526
2. If answer to 1st question is yes and safe, then can i just Flash only AP file, leaving BL, CP, CSC etc ?
I just want to get latest update (either via Odin or OTA)
Regards
No help ??
Have a look in download mode what it says the device is, flash all 4 part of the ROM using ODIN 3.12.3
CSC will reset the phone
HOME_CSC will not
If you are upgrading or downgrading Android versions, use CSC to avoid problems
G930FD uses the exact firmware that G930F uses. So yes, they're the same.
Flash BL, AP, CP and CSC file (not HOME_CSC) if you want to return stock and have OTA updates. Remember this will format your phone. It's later up to you whether you want to root again or just remain on stock.

Hi
No all countries CSC are available yet , probably in the next weeks they may that is why there are not many choices yet
Flashing CSC thru Odin on top of rom.....not to sure about that
Did you check his thread about CSC? , hi has a tool to add different csc's maybe your country is already there ( pick the one for Nougat
If is not there and you must have it ....i would flash a stock rom with the desire CSC , install recovery again , flash Superman rom again and this time tell to keep your current csc
Remember if you use a MM csc on a N firmware some thing may not work like VoLTE
I just Odin flashed home csc from the latest sample for my carrier .... the latest I had already previously used on stock b4 flashing superman rom.

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

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

Flash Oreo on Samsung S7 with odin - how to change CSC from XEO to BTU?

Hello,
last days I flashed the new Oreo firmware for my SM-G930F, available now only for UK (BTU CSC code). I used the last odin version 3.13.1. When the firmware was flashed, after factory recet I received my old CSC code (XEO). I wrote in forums, that if I want to changthe default CSC I have to set in odin settings Repartition. So yesterday evening I decided to reflash the firmware, but now with ticked Repartiotion. When I cklicked on Start, afer one two seconds red Fail windows has been shown. Why I can't flash the firmware with set Repartition? Does somebody have an idea what went wrong?
Reasons why I want to change the CSC code by default from XEO to BTU is that BTU receives the updates at the earliest!

BTU contains XEU as it is Multi-CSC, you cannot switch between them directly
You need to flash a different region CSC not included in BTU first, then flash BTU

Which for example? Can I use one of the following: VOD or VDI? Both of them have available Oreo firmwares. Oherwise I have to downgrade to Nougat (by the way, how can I downgrade using odin?)

One with the same bootloader version as you are running, probably version 2
You can tell by this number in the firmware version
G930FXXU2ERD5
Have a look in download mode for B:2 or whatever number it says and match to the firmware
Downgrade the same way you upgrade, but use ODIN 3.12.7 for Nougat
Do not flash the VOD (vodafone) Oreo, it is bricking devices, very broken, only flash BTU Oreo

Exactly the same as XEO is also included in the BTU CSC

What about flashing the same firmware with odin 3.13.1, but with ticked repartition in the option? This, regarding the comments in sammobile forum works. But for me doesn't. Maybe for Oreo it doesn't work or there is something specifically to do?
I can't catch your proposal for flashing the other firmware. Can you tell me which exactly firmware I have to flash first, later on to receive BTU Oreo CSC as default?

here are my questions:
1. can i flash with odin the oreo files: BL, AP, CP (and keep in mind that they are 8.1.0) and the CSC (7.0) file form my region?
2. if the answer is yes, i won't brick my device?

I managed to flash stock 8.1.0 INS on my sm-g610f and everything is working fine.
My USB cable was damaged, that's it.
Good luck to all.
