The csc files are not the same.. Here it is explained :)
CSC - If you flash the CSC file, it’ll perform a factory reset of your Galaxy device and wipe all data while installing a new firmware to bring your device to the same state as it was when you purchased it. Go with CSC if you want a clean installation.
HOME_CSC - On the other hand, if you want to keep your Samsung phone’s data and settings even flashing the stock firmware, you can select the HOME_CSC file.
Thanks Stephen! :) That's more detail than I had in the more info :P
@@MaowDroid anything to help kids on my writing breaks. Good luck 😊
@@MaowDroidis this still relevant? Looking to fix my phone as it is not receiving any updates since oreo
Is there any benefit of CSC over Home CSC because I want to keep my data and I want to know if there is any disadvantage of choosing Home CSC over CSC or does it just concern the data
Now you're also doing S8 videos? You truly are awesome! I hope your range of devices keeps growing as well as your fanbase. Cheers mate!
Oh yes haha, now its the 6P and S8, and thank you for your comment! :)
Thank you so much. I was flashing stock android using odin on my s7 edge but just used the AP file and experienced problems with the keyboard and repetitions of setting options (after it was done) . But when I re flashed it using all the files i.e. BL, CP , AP and CSC (NOT Home CSC), it worked for me.
Great video as always. I wish u would have released this a few weeks back when I had to fix my friend's Galaxy S6. Hope u can continue making more content on the Galaxy S8 and hopefully a review based on ur usage.
Thanks Ayush! :) I'll look to wrap up some loose ends on the 6P and then do some videos for the S8. :)
Very useful video. Worked great for me when my firmware was too old to successfully swap carriers.
This worked EXACTLY as described. Thank you!
Thank you very much! I had to revert back to 7.0 Nougat after my S8 plus stopped working with my 2018 Isuzu Mu-X head unit after the Oreo update. Now it works again! At first I was not sure if the problem was the car, the phone or the update. Now Im glad it was the phone because it would have been very expensive if the phone or the car was the problem. Thank you very very much good friend! More power to you!
Thanks LastLegend! I was unsure if downgrading would be possible for some reason, but thanks for trying and reporting back! I'm glad your phone is working with your head unit now. :)
THANK YOU!!!!!!! you're a freaking life saver!! I had some trouble when flashing the ROM, but your videos saved me! THANKS!
Thank you Isaac! :D I'm glad this was able to help you out in a pickle.
Every video you make is quite educational :D Liked and Subscribed to this channel
Thank you! I really appreciate it and I'm glad I could help. :)
You are a legend, thank you so much. We need more people like you in the world!
:D Thanks Rev! :)
i flippen salute u bro, my phone was bricked and it was only repeating the process of erasing and i did all ur steps and its all back to normal thank you so much
Oh that's great! I'm glad you got it sorted out. :)
This saved my day. Thanks . Keep up the good work
Thanks for commenting. :) I'm glad it helped you!
fair play..i know computer but not phones however i followed your steps and got the phone working. top man
Actually saved my ass about the factory reset when getting a boot loop tip, thank you so much!
Glad I could help Looted! :)
You are the KING of tutorials.
Thank you Diego. :)
Thanks mate , It worked for me flawlessly... thumbs up 😛
Thanks man, it actually worked. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Great Walk through thanks dude !
Thanks! :) Glad it helped.
I followed all the steps tho I'm using Odin V3.13 and it worked fine. Thanks a lot!
Awesome! I''m glad it worked out for you. :)
well done. good voice and turorial +++++ Saved my S8
dude, thank you so much! So I trying to flash the uninstaller for Magisk with TWRP right, and suddenly my phone just entered a bootloop! I tried several guides but they didnt seem to work. Finally I decided to just f--k it and flash a fresh stock rom. This video just made that process a whole lot easier and safer! Thanks for literally saving my phone
Glad I could help! Some things are just interesting like that haha
Really thanks. This really helped me to get rid of my previous irritating Custom ROM.
I'm glad this helped you out. :)
Amazing! I was able to resurrect a dead old phone because of you. Thank you very much and God bless.
Oh amazing! Thanks for your comment Kienje! :)
Looks like someone has a new toy lol. Thanks for all you do mate. I still hope you're waiting for the Pixel 2
Woot! :D Thank you and yes, I'll be keeping my eye out for that, but I may not be 100% upgrading to it at the end of this year.
Really great video, Thanks!! Consider getting a SM-G955FD (Singapore/Malaysia) but is it necessary to flash the stock firmware to Australian firmware? Would you still be able to use those services e.g. Samsung Pay with SM-G955FD stock firmware?
I would venture to say its not necessary. Perhaps, you might need to do a factory reset with an Australian SIM inserted. If that doesn't allow you to use Samsung Pay, then we might need to flash the Australian firmware, which should be no problem. :)
Let me know how it goes.
Alright then, so you tutorial, save me from satying without my phone, spending more money 'cause here in Brazil the technical assistance take a looooooong time so solve the problems, and since I also work with my phone, mand you have no idea how perfect and detailed your tutorial is, last night I downloaded all the files you discribed then this morning I just executed following your step by step. after that I had a new phone. Thanks again! You're awesome!
Awesome! I'm glad this helped. :)
Hi, Great video! I just have a question. I have a Chinese S8 which i bought during a trip there but I would like to make it to run same firmware as the phones back home here in Sweden. Should I pick the Swedish firmware which i want to change to? If i pick the firmware that is stored in my phone, then i will just get a newer Chinese firmware right?
Yeah that would be about right, I couldn't really find anything about the models that they sell in Sweden, but I'd make sure the processors are the same (model would be better), since the Asian ones should have Snapdragons, but I'm not sure about those in Europe/Eurasia.
Nice description.. You covered all the bases..!! I wasn't getting the COMBINATION file for days... This Up-dato site you have is just trying to keep getting me to unlock my phone at every move.. I thought.. But even now after downloading the firmware I can't find the Combination files even after I extract
Unlock what at every move? :o I have uBlock enabled for it so if you're getting intrusive ads, block them. Updato is probably by far the best place to get current and archived firmware IMO. :)
So did you end up getting it to work?
MaowDroid.. I think I got it it itvwas my mistake but I can't find the Combination files.. Where do they go
I'm still trying to get it to work I download that firmware and only one file comes up it's the BL file... Do I habe to save the firmware download to the USB Driver??
I have a problem, when I click start, this lasts 3 seconds and my phone automatically reboots. And nothing had changed
Hey Bro!Thank you so much i follow everything you said and now my phone is back in original factory setting no more root..Root is good but for me it always restart my S8.Guys just download the correct firmware model of your phone and everything will be easy and watch this video while doing it to your phone..God Bless!!Thanks again..
No worries! I'm glad this helped you out.:)
Hi i s8 plus model was G955w n i wanted to root but unfortunately i install some custom binary rom
When ever i try to reverse with the original g955w file is kept failing at odin. Is there any help you can provide because my phone has the custom binary that when i turn on the phone i can access to file system n settings which looks just like android but home or the interface doesnt look like android at all
Had to up vote the video ,even though i don't own GS8 :D
hehe thanks! :D
Thanks man, I appreciate!
while downloading firmware is country is important. o i can choose any country i want? thank you
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH. DO NOT CLICK THE ERASE NAND BUTTON EVER PEOPLE!
Thanks man this worked excellentley!!
Great to hear that it worked out for you! :)
@@MaowDroid :)
Hi, S8+ SM-G955FD having an error on the first bluescreen with an android logo and a 25% error. Any ideas?
Did you know if i can flash a T-Mobile stock room on a Sprint s8+ and if i do i will lose the unlock?
Do you think you could make a video explaining how to flash different carrier Modems? e.g., Flashing T-Mobile radio stuff on the unlocked GS8 to use the 4x4 MIMO and 256QAM. There's a lot of confusion since there isn't a clear guide on it yet.
Hey Maxwell, sorry I was meaning to respond to you earlier.
So, I did some digging because I did read along the lines of '4x4 MIMO and 256QAM' somewhere. Since the Snapdragon and Exynos versions are different, it's a little difficult to grasp as well.
Apparently this is a guide (see 3rd post for the 'switch carrier' guide): forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s8/how-to/eng-boot-root-t3608353
I would imagine that doing so will trip KNOX. Also, you'll need to download the factory firmware for the T-Mobile variant of the S8.
Omg thank you sooo much! I couldn’t find any websites that didn’t take 15hours to download untill now. I recently rooted, unlocked my tablets bootloader, and am currently trying to install a custom rom. Anyone here in comments I recommend flashing the most recent version of twrp as a custom recovery, since it backs up the entire device
Oh no worries! :)
TWRP is a staple, and I think it's the only custom recovery still being actively maintained. Note that flashing TWRP doesn't automatically back up anything, but yes, the backup and restore functions within TWRP are a godsend!
I didn't realise there was an unlocking process when it came to Samsung devices. From what I recall, they ether came with unlocked ones, or locked ones.
ITS DOWNLOADING RIGHT NOW I JUST HOPE IT WORKS!!! (Edit:) OMG IT WORKS YEEESSSSSSSS!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUUUCH!!!!!!
My Galaxy S8 (G950N) automatically erased and wiped everything after the PASS screen on my PC, now it's rebooting with the samsung logo. Is it supposed to do that?
Thank you for your video. I have galaxy s8 s/n:SM-G950U from t-mobile usa and I want to install original OS from samsung without all t-mobile bloatware. can I do it? Also after installing original OS will it be able to update by itself (settings-software update) automatically? if yes, which OS file I can download?
I never really did get the hang of carrier switching as the Australian models are quite tame in their bloatware (kinda). Could I redirect you to this XDA thread which will probably be of more help: forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/snap-guide-flashing-standard-fw-carrier-t3625817
If you have any questions just let me know. :)
Hey, my S8 is unlocked but has Optus branding on the boot screen, if I flashed the regular Australian XSA firmware, would it remove it?
Hey sorry for the late reply. That should do the trick, my Vodafone one didn't have it's own boot animation for some reason :o
Yeah thanks, it worked.
i got the s8+ i went to check the model # and it says sm-g955F .. but all the programs i use including benchmark sees it as a sm-G9550
and so i wonder if this is the reaosn why i cant update it .. it reports the last update was 2019 .. is this a chinese phone with a different firmware?
Hi, Im having a problem Im stuck in a bootloop where that blue screen with "erasing" is showing. It shows up for about 5 seconds, then restarts, and It doesnt end... Do you know how to fix that?
Hi, please bare with my questions, i am trying to download the model number (i got it from my phone G950F), but the region where I bought it is not displayed there, can i just choose any region as long as the model is correct?
Lisa Daniel where is your phone made from
It is possible ur phone has exynos processor
Hey just wanted to know if i use home_csc will it wipe my screen lock?( because my phone is locked and i forgot passcode. Badly need the data :( wanna know if re -flashing will help it get rid of pattern. I know the google acc details n all
Hi, I live in the U.S and using SM-G950FD, do you know which firmware or region would be ok to update my phone? Thanks
I guess its your choice whether to get the unbranded US firmware (XAA) or one of the carrier ones. But, generally speaking the unbranded firmware should be good.
As for updates, I'm not too sure on that. But Samsung seems to be rolling out those updates quite quickly for unlocked handsets.
Sorry for the really late reply too.
all the codes cant be used on the google chromes is there way to fix this or somewhere else i can go to get the codes that will work on my chrome
mind 2s8+ has flickering screen ca that help not able to see the screen can that fix it how to do a factory softwaer
Hi. Tks for the video, it helps a lot. I would like to know if you can answer me one doubt that I have.
I bought a S8 from china. New, but full of weird stuff happening in the phone. Weird Adds, strange files on system apps list... Anyway, trying to solve it, after factory reset did nothing, I see your video and other ones telling the same. Flash it, and it will be ok! Awesome. Few days into discovering how to do it and it seems I have a bigger problem than I thought.
Looking for my firmware, I can find the right model on UPDATO or XDA... but I can´t find the correct PDA version or even the right rom for my buildnumber. I searched in a few places but no luck. My guess it is that it was tempered with before getting to me, since also some sistem files look suspicious.
My question is, could I use a different firmware? What would be my options to make my phone reliable if I don´t find the correct firmware?
Thank you very much for your video.
A Chinese S8 should have an unlocked bootloader, so I don't think PDA version would strictly matter. As for finding a ROM, you just need to make sure that it works with your model number.
You should be able to use a different firmware as long as it's for the Snapdragon S8, preferably the Chinese S8 model. What's your S8's model number? I can take a look for you if you want.
Thank you so much for your effort in helping me. I switched phones, to a, also chinese, galaxy note 8. But i figured something else. All I am getting are replicas, made of cheap parts. For instance, my camera should be 12mp but on mine is only 3mp. GPS fails constantly and so many other annoying things... That happened beacuse I wasnt carefull enough to find a trustworthy seller, and got excited about gatting a AAA phone paying little money. My fault and it wont happen again. I intend now, either keep this knockoff but try to put better parts on it... change camera, change battery, change gps (don´t even know if its possible) and see if it is worth to keep it for a while, or just put them in the garbage and start again, now wiser.
Thank you again!
Damn! Yeah knock-offs are always there, I'm sorry you got caught up by one. I would probably either somehow sell it and get a proper one. You never know what they have inside and if it really is even using any of the official parts or software.
Tip: the Home_CSC will not wipe your data. It only removes the root access. The Magisk app will still be on the phone(without root access) but you can't uninstall it. It's better to start with a fresh OS. I recommend you to flash using CSC file not the HOME_CSC.
Thanks for the clarification! The Magisk Manager app should be able to be uninstalled since it's installed as a user app. Also, would flashing just the carrier customisation unroot it? I was thinking that AP was the file that contained the stock system, recovery, boot, etc. images.
MaowDroid when you root the device, the magisk app is installed as a system app. So when you unroot using the Home_CSC , the custom binaries for the super-user access is removed but the system apps are kept untouched. So, the magisk app will remain on the phone with out root access. As we all know without root access, it's not possible to remove the system apps. And about the boot img, the AP file contains everything. Just flashing the CSC won't remove the root access. All the steps in the video has to be followed.
Question. I bought my s8 in best buy. It's unlocked and it doesn't come with wifi calling option at all. Which firmware should I use so I can get that option. I already tried G950U1UEU1AQG2 and it didn't work. My model is SM-G950U1 and I'm using ATT. Thanks
I'm not too experienced in this, but you mean you kinda want to 'covert' it to an AT&T firmware? I've seen an XDA post with some quite extensive steps to change it: forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/snap-guide-flashing-standard-fw-carrier-t3627255
@MaowDroid My mate purchased a rooted galaxy 8 plus I know crazy move, he is a total teck noob. Can he unroot by simply updting the phone software on his phone? Or do you need to use odin?
hello sir... when i hit the start button, it says set partition and stuck there... what is the problem? the log is : sboot.bin.lz4... stuck there for 1 hour
I have an S8 personalized with the operator, but it is free. I never changed anything. To put an clean ROM (without personalization), Just have I to do it this insctruction or have to unlock bootloader, root, etc?
Your bootloader should be either locked or unlocked, but since you'll be flashing official firmware, you don't need an unlocked bootloader.
Thank you so much dude!!!!!!!
Glad I could help out Ben ;)
can I install G950U1 firmware on G950U? Do my CSC code has to be same as the firnware i am going to install? if my csc ends on CSA4, should the target firmware have to be the same? Please help brother!
No it should not matter, I'd probably be a little more picky about model numbers, but it seems like the two can be used interchangeably.
how to extract files?I installed winrar 64 bit on my desktop but when I try to extract files showing like diagnostic messages.Could you please tell me ASAP. Thank you
Since it's just a .zip file, are you able to use the archive viewer that's built into Windows? It seems like you might have a corrupt download. It's hard to check as Updato doesn't provide hash sums for each download for you to verify.
I'd try downloading it again, or using either the built-in 'zip viewer' in Windows or 7-zip and see what they say about your downloaded file.
I'm all new to this, but I managed to get into the menu to reset to factory settings on an s8 with unresponsive screen. There's an error message fail to open recovery - cause: no such file or directory.
I used Odin with the correct firmware and everything proceeds as normal. But in the end the phone is stuck on the first page of the setup.
When I go into the recovery mode, it shows the same error of fail to open recovery...
I'm at wits end. Any advice appreciated 🌹
Ah so you're unable to boot into recovery mode? Or you can, but when you bring up the recovery menu (not sure if Samsung devices had to do the Power + Volume Up combo to get the menu to show) and try to wipe it gives you that error?
@@MaowDroid I do get into recovery mode. The black screen with the menu at the top. But from there I can't do anything meaningful. I tried flashing the stock firmware with ODIN. Everything seems fine. But then I get the same error again.
I gave up and sold the phone for spares.
@@infinityplusone72 dang sorry to hear that, yeah sometimes it just doesn't work.
you are an absolute beast
its a compliment btw
I knew that ;) Glad it helped you.
Hello,
Please share from where i can download the Samsung firmware. Link share in the description is not working.
Try this site: samdb.org/ I just had to google 'Samsung Firmware', things have changed a bit since then.
So when all is done I will be able to upgrade the software version whenever a new one is available (From Phone Settings) ?
Should be able to do just that from my knowledge. :)
MaowDroid Ok thank you ☺
Thank you I flashed a wrong image and my phone turned into a expensive brick but this helped me a ton.
Oh daym! Did you get your brick working again? :o
MaowDroid Got the firmware used TWRP to format data went to download mode flashed the firmware and it is working now I'm even using the phone to write this comment!
Oh awesome! I'm glad you got your phone working again. :)
pratik elektronik yes
Possible you could guide me? I've been searching for HOURS.
My S8 has the Three UK firmware and I want to flash it to have the normal S8 stock firmware, are there any suggestions as to what kind of firmware I should get?
I would take the BTU region firmware. Just a quick Google shows that the XEU and BTU are pretty similar.
MaowDroid alright thanks man
BTU drains battery like crazy won't recommend it
bro i have problem plz help me my device i rooted after i flashed firmaware i dawnload firmaware iraq but after i flashed see install united state emarat plz help me how can fix your problem?
IN THE NEXT WEAK I will buy the s8 and i do the same with my s7 and its tripped my knox its do the same thing with the s8?
KNOX should only trip if flashing unsigned/custom firmware. Flashing stock firmwares using Odin should not result in tripping KNOX.
But I must say, your question isn't very clear.
here is my problem, i cant access the phone because it crashes before i make it through the initial setup process so im not sure what my build number is, all i have is the phone itself and need to flash it. please help. and no i do not have the box.
I don't think the build number should matter too much, just your model number. Find the respective firmware for your device model and region (other regions are fine too) and attempt to flash that.
So
I can use any region.. It won't affect my sim cards
It shouldn't affect your SIM cards, but you may have to do some additional configurations on the APN side of things if you do have issues.
hay im using galaxy s8+ im in japan.... its branded by DOCOMO carrier (DMC)my modle number is SC-03J is there a unbranded firmware to use for me.....?? Please help
It looks like your model has the Snapdragon SoC, you should be able to flash any firmware that the Snapdragon devices use (forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/help/firmware-model-t3631047).
US Unlocked S8+ firmware: updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-G955U1&exact=1&r=XAA&v=&rpp=15
There is no unbranded firmware for your Japanese model, but you should be OK to flash any Snapdragon based S8+ firmware.
Bro i have the g950fd version... All i want is to unroot the device properly but cause i checked root access and it want available but yet i wan unable to use secure folder and the rest...
As soon as your KNOX counter is tripped (0x01) you will not be able to use Samsung Pay or Secure Folder again. :(
But if you want to unroot, you should have no issues following this.
Hey! I have some issues and maybe someome can help me out? A friend of Mine has the smg955f too and tried to flash it after he got the bootloop but got fail after boot.bin in the log section. Now i tried it but it softlocks on boot instead of changing to recovery... even with the right stock firmware it wont to anything please help me!
Not sure about that one, I presume they've tried different USB cables, ports and tried to get a somewhat recent version of Odin as well?
@@MaowDroid yeah we tried 3.12, 3.13, 3.14 we tried different ports and we tried stock android 7, 8, 9 but nothing changed guess this phone is dead and we gave up yesterday i heard something about frp lock and oem lock but we cant even boot the phone up or open recovery. If i try to open recovery the screen goes black and the phone softlocks
@@jonasschubert5437 generally you should be fine with flashing stock firmware with whilst OEM unlock is disabled, but FRP maybe not, although as you mentioned you'd need to boot into Android to sort that out. :(
Will this remove my data(photos,accounts,etc) from the phone?
Hi sir/Ma'am, Actually my device is rooted already so I am trying to flash new PIE 9.0 firmware for my samsung galaxy s8 by following all tips as you are telling in the video, so after all the process when I click on start button on odin3 its shown "Fail" What is the problem please explain me.

What does it say in the console/log?
thank you brother for giving us fastest sites link
esto funciona para liberar la red?
i have been facing a problem for few days, one morning when i woke up i just realize that 2 applications has been installed alone overnight, i checked lookout it says that two apps has been installed 4 hours ago and they are safe, i felt like it was something fishy, i tried to scan the device and did not find anything, downloaded avast then found one malware which is exactly one of those two apps has got installed four hours ago and the other app remain invisible in the app drawer even in system apps i can just see one of those two apps. i tried to delete it with avast and could not do, tried with bit-defender, malware bytes and a lot more non of them could, then i factory hard reset, wipe cache partition and the malware still there, then i reinstalled avast etc and non of antivirus apps could recognize the virus again and i see that still in there. i have been told that flashing the device would be the best solution i did flash it and the virus still there any help please. my phone is Samsung galaxy note8 sprint version.
Is that not carrier installed apps? So you don't have the names of those apps that were installed?
It is not, it is dected as a malware the first time before i factory rest. It is a 100%a malware by the way they have hacked my credit card as well
+joseph kehdy I'd probably try flashing the sprint firmware again for your Note 8. I wonder how they got your card details. 😮
I tried twice maybe i am doing somting worng, but i am putting all the files the BL, AP, Csc etc
You think should i do something else to wipe it full, because the virus remains in somwhere and survive and i have no micro sd installed at all.
hello man if I put a stock version from France on my phone that is Swiss so with a Swiss rom I could continue updates normally and without problem with knox
I'm not sure about updates, but flashing official firmware packages do no trip KNOX.
ok thx man :)
Thank you very much!!!!!
No worries Lucas :)
thank you so much!
i could finally get the pie update to my old galaxy s8, i couldn't get it before because it wouldn't get the update...
That's great to hear! :D You get the OneUI with Pie right?
hi there .. i see that on ur s8 u dont have frp lock .. but on mine there is frp lock , my carier is tmb and ots locked no network or anything , i trie to flash the phone but it wont work and i followed everything .. any solution ???,,, thanks
There's nothing that I know that would help with FRP. Flashing the factory firmware won't do much either.
that site you have provided contains millions and millions of adds. How do I even download it
how do I know which firmware is stock? I want to get rid of custom boot animations and bloatware
You would look for the firmware with no branding or association to a carrier. Filter by region and select the region you want your firmware from.
For example, Vodafone Australia is VAU, while unbranded Australia is XSA.
I try it but it just took about 10 sec to erase, wipe the phone, on the blue screen and restart the system again. Nothing change. Why? Did I miss anything?
Did you choose the 'HOME_CSC' to flash? That doesn't wipe your phone automatically.
What changes were you expecting to see?
My phone is stuck at "erasing". The wheel in the center is not spinning. Any work around?
Sorry for the late reply. Try force your phone off by holding Power + Vol. Down + Bixby and see if it can boot up. If not, try going into recovery and wiping again.
Hello. My phone region is UAE..can I flash and change to another region?.
Mine keeps failing when i click start i chose the correct file aswell please help
sorry i don't understand the title because i'm french. is for unroot or unbrick a s8?
Ceylan melih it might work for you. just try it.
MaowDroid ok thank you
I have an at't vesion they haven't updated it since the launch can i install a verison android 9 on my phone????
If you can get the firmware for it you should be good to go. Make sure its for your model and preferably ATT.
Hey, whem i flash the stock firmware i see that my firmware isn't really stock. My settings are weird to.
Did you do a factory reset after flashing the firmware? Using HOME_CSC will not wipe data, but CSC will.
MaowDroid yes i did. I tried to reflash the stock firmware but now it doesnt get trough the ap flash. Its softbrocled atm and i dont know what to do.
Does the log say anything +Potato?
+FAHADTHEBEAST GAMING do you have OEM unlocking enabled?
I'm attempting to recover my Galaxy S8. Finally finished downloads and began running Odin and it gets stuck with this message: FAIL! (Auth)
Complete(Write) operation failed.
All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Did I download the incorrect file?
You may have. Make sure the firmware is for your device's model number and that should be it! I don't own an S8 anymore, so you might have to search around for more ideas of what might be wrong.
tbh great vid ty mate
Hello i need help my phone is stuck to the “samsung galaxy s8+” and i’m trying to flash is to make it work again. I don’t know any of this stuff and i am trying to fix it. Please help or reply. Thanks
Is this method can fix my phone?
How to change the CSC code to S8 Plus, the phone bought from the operator inserted clean firmware but the CSC code will not change, must it be root or can it be without root?
You should be able to flash the CSC file for the new firmware and then wipe data/factory reset in recovery. You shouldn't need root access to do that.
Just some Googling and found these resources: forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/guide-changing-csc-s8-s8-root-t3799045
(Mentions root in the title, but the steps don't indicate that). Another thread mentioned that they had just flashed the firmware for their desired region and that was it!

@@MaowDroid There was Telenor software (MSR) on the phone, I inserted pure German DBT firmware without Home CSC and it says DBT / DBT / MSR again What do I need to do to make it DBT / DBT / DBT?
So if I do this on a custom rom it will revert back to how I got the phone (stock)?
Pretty much! With the exception of things that won't work once KNOX is tripped (Samsung Pay, Secure Folder).
@@MaowDroid wow thank you so much even after 2 years!
the new Odin has a USERDATA option. And my downloaded firmware also has a USER_VZW*** file. I selected all of them and hit start and got an error message saying (all threads completed (succeed 0 / failed 1).

Any idea what could be wrong with it? my s8plus is connected and is sitting in downloading mode.
I have tried 2 separate usb ports, one connected to motherboard and the other in front of the pc. Nothing works. Help!
That's good to know! Although I'm not too sure as the logs don't tell much unfortunately. Does anything happen to your phone? Or does it just stay in download mode?
i have an oem lock on and my phone is stuck in a boot loop is their any thing i can do?
You should be able to flash official firmwares via Odin without having OEM Unlock enabled.
But if you haven't done anything and you're in a bootloop, and you've tried factory resetting, it may be a hardware issue?
Every time I press start, my phone doesnt show that anything is downloading and it just turns off and on back to the system
same problem,I`ve also written a comment.
Maowdroid, please help us
Can you post the log from Odin please?
MaowDroid nevermind I was able to fix it by using another modified version of Odin
Oh, which one did you use? I'll add it to the description. :) Is it that prince or cosmy something version?
Me too, only show flash modem on odin and reboot
Can you help me with S8 G950N Korean version?
Hi, can I unroot my phone and get Secure Folder to work again with my phone after I do this?
I think Secure folder is permanently tripped after KNOX is tripped.
