Hi i have a n920a unlocked gsm and i have Android 6.0.1. I would like to upgrade to 7.0 but ota does not look for updates and Smart Switch does not find them. flashando ap, bl, cp and csc via odin I will lose the unlock for GSM networks? c is some other method to update to nougat?
If your phone is already unlocked, you will not lose the unlocked status if you update the firmware. Use odin.
When I can find this firmware?
I have find a firmware. When i flash with odin what should i flash between ap bl cp and csc?

When you extract the archived firmware file you downloaded, you should end up with a .tar.MD5 file. Put that in Odin's AP slot and flash it.
Thank you. I have find a firmware at&t but I dont like at&t customization. Can I flash the firmware of another note 5 for example n920c?

Samsung support will likely not be okay even if you flash official firmwares through Odin. We once tried this as the Official unmodified Samsung firmware for the S7 broke to due to an official Google Business Android security update which stopped the phone from booting.
Then again, the slimy bastards will try to get out of everything.

Can I update directly from N920AUCU2AOJ1 to Nougat or i have to flash the previous updates first?

When you flash via ODIN all you have to do is flash the latest. No need to upgrade in between.

Failed to flash stock (XAR) firmware on U.S model
Using Odin. But can flash U.K (BTU) firmware. Why is it failing to flash U.S firmware?
Downloaded from official sammobile site and from
XDA link. Have pics attached.
Can anyone please advice?
Thank you.
It states;
FAIL! (Auth)
why is the authentication failing?
I also stupidly did not do a twrp backup of the original firmware.
Thanks in advance.

It says you are trying to downgrade your firmware. You have revision 2, you're trying to flash revision 1 firmware.
I guess you're flashing the UK revision 2 firmware T713XXU2APJ1?

Do you mean an older firmware can't be flashed?
This is the older failing firmware:
T713XXU1APG1_T713XAR1APG2_HOME.tar.md5
This is the one that works:
T713XXU2APJ1_T713OXA2APJ1_HOME.tar.md5
Or do mean a different model?
What can I do to fix this?
Thanks for your help.
Yes its UK firmware. I got greedy and didn't wait for the XAR version. So do I wait for the updated USA version then flash that?
Thanks again.

Not really anything to wait for. BTU version will work just fine.
If you're that fussed about it changing your csc, extract the cache and hidden images from the xar rom and repack with 7zip then flash with odin.
For what it's worth you must have already had the latest XAR firmware, so not sure why you felt the need to reflash?

It's the WiFi that's the problem. BTU rom has restricted 5Ghz. Won't go above channel 140Ghz. XAR rom unrestricted 5Ghz bands up to 161Ghz or 165Ghz.
If I do what you suggested with regards to CSC would that also give me higher range 5Ghz bands?
Otherwise everything is perfecto. I got it rooted, xposed installed.
I really appreciate all your help. Saved me a lot of time trying to flash Roms like a maniac.

I thought the U.K version is 2 months newer. Now that I think of it, maybe it just came out later behind the U.S version.
Hey thanks again.

I did what you suggested, flashed the CSC and I now have ch 161 working. Less interference with higher channels.
You're the best.
BTW, the BTU firmware has the September security patch.

Hi I'm trying to flash the T-Mobile firmware from sammobile.com, but whenever I try, I get an error at 32% when it says Installing System Update. I attempted to flash CSC,AP,BL, and CP with it saying PASS in Odin. I really need the T-Mobile firmware and am wondering if it is possible to do? I determined that I cant install CSC files and get the error when I try. Any Solutions?
SM-G950U
Odin 3.12.3
T-Mobile Firmware:
PDA: G950USQU1AQD9
CSC: G950UOYN1AQD9
I'm having the same problem with an ATT phone flash with the US "U" unlocked version firmware. When I don't flash the csc it will start up only with the USB plug in but shut down after the beginning startup
Search for a "modified Odin". It was what I used to be able to flash unlocked firmware on a 7 and 7 edge a few months ago. The "normal" Odin wouldn't let me do it, but the modified one did. Though you may need to wait until it's been updated....I haven't checked it in awhile.
Still no solution to avoid the error to 32%?
Try this Odin. This is the one I used to flash the Canadian firmware on mine.
I managed with odin version 3.12.5! But only with BL AP and CP!
When I add CSC I get the error at 32%!
So a priori everything works, I no longer have the Verizon overlay (nor the logo at startup) more by cons I have duplicates in the settings menu ...
What is the CSC file?

The Canadian firmware you got it or? On sammobile I find it not:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/
The Canadian firmware is stock or operator?
I would have access to all the bands?
Its the firmware with the "w" at the end. Please read this thread for all the information on doing this and make sure you want to do it.

so to do this we actually have to go to the canadian firmware first, do the csc change then flash the Tmo firmware? You can't just flash the Tmo Firmware via the modded Odin? Just to save confusion.
I would imagine it's worth it just to get the proper network options, VOLTE, WiFi calling and such.

This is the exact thread that I used. Follow the steps and you can skip engboot. If you flash the full Canadian firmware, its impossible to reverse. So, only flash whatever is in the steps. I successfully went from Verizon To T-Mobile and then back to Verizon. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/switch-to-carrier-firmware-100-t3609487

Hi, I have the Singapore firmware on my device (non-rooted): XSP
This firmware is absolutely ridiculous when it comes to updates. I am currently Sept 1, 2018 security patch, and that is the latest available for this device.
Is it possible to flash another exynos firmware from ODIN to my device WITHOUT factory resetting my phone, so my data and apps don't get affected? Can I just download the UK version, for instance, from Sammobile and flash it without affecting my data?

Yes thats no problem, just make sure you flash home CSC, if you flash CSC it will factory reset your devcie.
Thanks! I'm guessing it's not considered a dirty flash or anything right? If I install another firmware on top of XSP and flash csc_home, can it effect performance negatively?
What's the best recommended firmware to flash that gets the latest updates to replace my current XSP?

You can flash ANY firmware where OXM is mentioned in the CSC
Flash AP BL CP HOME_CSC_OXM with Odin 3.13.1 to your device: your data & CSC (XSP) will stay intact.
You can't change CSC on your device; if you flash i.e. the latest UK-firmware (BTU/XEU) and that build is NOT released for CSC XSP, you won't get OTA's to your device and you'll have to flash later FW's again via Odin.

Does this mean you can use any CSC from other official firmware and the drawback is that you cannot get OTA?

If your CSC contains OXM (check with *#1234# in your dialer), you can flash every OXM-firmware released.
But: if that build is not released in your country, you won't get OTA-updates.
If your country will get a newer build, and you flash that to your device, than you'll receive OTA's again...
download the stock firmware from sammobile for your variant
use odin 3.13 or higher to flash the ROM.
extract the firmware from sammobile
take the AP and CSC files from the stock firmware and put them in ODIN
put phone in download mode and press START to make it flash
phone will reboot and be stock (lock bootloader or flash custom up param to hide bootloader unlocked message)

I've to update It manually? And if yes, which Is the right update to choose in order to make It works in Italy without problems? And the right update procedure? Thank you for your help
So after a bit of research it looks like it is not possible to flash stock att firmware to the n-960n. Does this sound right. I'm leaving Korea and will be going back to att when I get home.

Not officially, no. However I don't think samsung pay will work in the US on a Korean Note9 anyway, so if you unlock the bootloader and root you can flash a CSC changer to get all of the ATNT features (including voLTE/voWIFI). You will void your warranty and lose knox/Samsung Pay.

you can't flash snapdragon firmware on a exynos device. but regardless, just pop the sim and be happy. no need to change CSC for voice and data.
but if you do root as the suggested then you can get the additional csc features by flashing a csc pack.

Exactly which CSC pack can I use and where do I get it?
I am in the exact same situation: Korean SM-G960N, rooted, on AT&T's network with Android 9.
Do I extract the CSC from the latest SM-G960U1 file and flash that with Odin? Can I use an Android 10 CSC on an Android 9 phone?

Are you looking for AT&T specifically? Cause from what I know they don't release them. I used N960U since the 1 is the unlocked version software. Sorry I can't be much help beyond what I know of AT&T files. Best of luck.

Thanks for the respopnse. Well the link from SamMobile has the CSC in it. I tried to flash the HOME_CSC file via Odin and the Odin PrinceComsy version (I don't think this works on Android 8) and it would not flash.

The last 2 times I updated I used the Comcast files to update my note9 i got from AT&T i am currently on the newest release this way and everything seems to work at least the limited options I use from AT&T.
