DBT region receives firmware with OXM multi-CSC, which also includes TPH CSC (Portugal), so there should not be any issues.
Flash
I loaded the .tar files into Odin.
Auto Reboot is checked.
F.Reset Time is checked.
Everything else is unchecked.
After my phone boots into download mode do i have to press anything on it or i just press start on Odin ?
The only phone that i have flashed was my Galaxy S in 2010 and i haven't done anything like this before.
If I do this, will I receive ota updates in the future?

Use HOME_CSC not CSC, however, if there would be any issue during the upgrade, the storage would show only 16GB and you would have to do a factory reset anyway. If you are going to try to do the upgrade, I strongly recommend backing up your data.

Yes, the firmware for any regions included within OXM multi-CSC is the same.
For variant G950FD i neeed to use this same firm, right?
EDIT: i did this method and works fine. But the baseband was not to be CRB7? My phone says baseband G950FXXU1CRAP and the compilation number said R16NW.GF50FXXU1CRB7. Does its good?

Yes, that's right. Samsung did not update modem firmware or CSC package. Only bootloader and AP (system) were updated.
I flashed Oreo CRB7 final build from Germany and everything is great. But notifications for viber doesnt work as supposed. When i snooze them for only 15 minutes they never appear again and even after 2 hours when i open viber app i have new messages for which i didnt get notification neither sound and stays like that. But when i restart phone everything becomes normal untill i snooze some notification again. I did clean install, clear cash twice and factory reset the phone before Oreo.
Followed the instructions from this site step by step (it was flashing with extracting .lz4 extensions). Help?

Baseband/Firmware?

I have a SM-G920F that is network unlocked (as far as I can tell...). I updated it to the latest stock firmware available at the time and since then I have had Lineage 14.1 installed which I regularly update (along with OpenGApps). The Baseband version is G920FXXU5ERA5 which I think was installed as part of the stock firmware?
I noticed a couple of days ago that there is a newer stock firmware which I think has a newer baseband - although I am a bit confused as to what the baseband actually is (modem firmware?). I think the latest for my S6 is G920FXXU6ERF5 from June 2018 although there seems to be firmware from September 2018 for the Vodafone varient?
Is it possible to install the latest Baseband independantly of the whole stock firmware? Is there a .zip available for this?

When you write and select options given above, press "Check Update" and then press "Download" to download factory firmware for your device.
Once the download has been finished, extract the zip file that you've downloaded via SamFirm.
After unzip it, download and run this Odin (even if you have another one);
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3804544&d=1467772303
When you open it, press CP and select file which starts with CP from downloaded (from Samfirm) and extacted zip folder.
Other sections (AP, CSC, etc) should be empty.
When you set the CP file to Odin, connect your phone in download mode.
After that, press Start. When Odin done the installation, phone will restart. When it is restarted, disconnect the cable.

Thank you for the very detailed reply.
Will this break anything?
My device I think is region UK BTU so is there any difference in the baseband firmware for XFA region devices (South Africa I think?).
Obviously I don't want to break anything or trip anything that will cause something to stop working - i.e. SafetyNet
Thanks

By the way, my baseband version is as follows G920FXXU6ERL2

Question help: SM-a125U stuck in Hash of data does not match digest in descriptor

Previous android version: Android 11
Previous base-band version: A125USQU2BUG5
company: wireless cricket
In the context of flashing with the new firmware I used :
- Odin version: 3 v3.14
- Firmware used: Samfw.com_SM-A125U_USC_A125USQU2BUL1_fac_2
The error is related to the vbmeta check. Did you used a sock firmware or you have patched it with magisk? Btw i reccomend to use frija to download the firmware.
If i can suggest I would make this steps:
1) download latest firmware with frija
2) Flash the stock and see if it work
Otherwise if this not help:
1) download latest firmware with frija
2) patch the whole ap and not only boot.img with magisk
3) open odin and flash it using the patched ap on the ap slot
If nothing above works, I think you can try this... not sure it will work. Replace inside the ap the vbmeta.img with the attached one that have the disabled verified boot.

Thanks for the reply.ok
1- The firmware is stock.
2- I didn't patch any of the files I got ( any recommended guide on how to proceed>?)
3- I' so new at this
But anyways, yesterday I kind of sorted out the stuck by adding BL file, and CSC file along the AP file to ODIN, the phone restarted ok but found out it hasn't been unlocked from the carrier yet, so I guess that by judging what u just said, there are few thing I need a guide to
- Flashing the stock
- Patching the AP file
Ps Frija opens up when executed, but it closes in less than 1 second. (Pc 's OS: win 10 enterprise 64 bits)

When you flash with Odin you always need to use all the files provided on the stock firmware ap, bl, csc and cp. If u are upgrading you can use the home_csc instead of the csc file that will let you keep your data.
Are you sure you have installed the framework that Frija need?
For the ap patching, is only meant if you want root your phone, flashing the whole ap instead of the boot.img only will let you fix the vbmeta checks too.
Install the magisk app.
Open it and tap Install, it will ask for a file to patch, chose the ap file of the stock firmware you downloaded.
Final step, flash ap patched and the others (bl,csc,cp).
When you say unlocked by the carrier what do you mean? You have any sort of sim block? Or you only want remove your carrier apps and configs?

Mannn thanks!
I rooted my tab 5Se a long time ago and deleted the firmware files except the AP.
I got stuck on the same screen today when I re-locked my bootloader after a stock AP-only flash
Then I saw your reply here and got the rest of the files flashed and it worked and booted
And for those who are reading if you don't have a SIM on your tablet you don't need a CP that's why you won't find it in your firmware zip file
