Stock t713 firmware fail with Odin, pics attach

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.

n920a nougat

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?

When I have buy my n920a was installed 6.0.1 but there wasn't at&t customization

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.

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

Stuck with old firmware (no updates available)

I'm stuck with the an old firmware, even the security update was on March 1, 2018. It is from Singapore (STH) but I am currently in the Philippines. When manual update is used, it says latest software installed.
Build number: R16NW.N950FXXU3CRC1

You have to get familiar with using ODIN if you want to have the latest firmware.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note8/SM-N950F/SER/download/N950FXXU5CSA3/251208/
This will wipe your device due to mismatched CSC, so backup first.
Don't worry. You can switch to English for these ROMS.

Thank you kind sir. Flashing official firmware via ODIN does not trigger knox? Also is it normal that I do not receive ota updates because I changed countries or networks?

Well I can answer one of your questions and that NO it won't trip Knox because you'll be flashing the OEM firmware straight from Samsung.
If you have Samsung switch on PC you can see by plugging your phone to the PC and see if it comes up with an update. If not use the Odin to update your phone.
Use the home-csc file and you won't lose your data! (Flash the bl,ap,cp, "home-csc" in odin)
Warning ! The csc file (CSC be itself) WILL delete your data!
But choose just one csc file, so choose the one you want.

If I choose the CSC file and not the Home CSC file, will I be able to change from STH (Singapore Starhub) to XTC (Philippines Openline)?

If you take your sim card out and do the csc file flash it will default to xsg/xsg/xsg. (I think)
As soon as you put your sim card in it will go to the csc that your sim card sets it to as long as it's in The multi-csc firmware. ( the OXM in the firmware name is the multi-csc.)
So check the official note 8 SM-N950F firmware thread in the guide sub forum to see if your csc is in the oxm firmware.
You can change the csc but you'll need the combination firmware to do that. Search for changing csc in xda there are guides on how to do it.
edit for some corrections.......
Edit 2: just check the oxm XTC is included in it. So take sim card out (!!!!but first backup up all important data to pc!!!) Use Odin with the csc file (to erase phone, basically start from scratch like you just turned on the phone for the first time.) Let it boot up without sim card, then place sim card in and see.

Sorry you can't anymore because the bootloader version (bl ver.) "7" in N950FXXS"7"DSG1 won't allow you to downgrade to a lower bl ver 6 or lower.
You now have to wait for firmware N950FTIM6DSF3 to get patched with July security patch from Samsung. Also since Germany DBT is the first firmware and Italy the 2nd july patch firmware you'll have to wait for others to catch up.
If you have any issues BACKUP your phone and do a factory reset!.

If you are on N950FTIM6DSF3 TIM (Italy) and want to keep data intact you'll have to wait for TIM to get updated, but if you want to be on the latest firmware from Germany DBT N950FOXM7DSG1 then you'll have to convert your N950FTIM6DSF3 csc to a multi-CSC OXM N950FOXM7DSG1 firmware which may or may not will erase your data.
You'll might have to flash the combination firmware to change the csc from TIM/TIM/TIM to DBT/DBT/(DBT or TIM not sure if this can be changed.) (BACKUP first this will delete data!)
The multi-CSC OXM doesn't support the TIM csc but it does support ITV csc (Italy). Before changing make sure you will not lose any Carrier specific features (etc. VoLTE, VoWIFI, .....) that you use.
Search for "how to change csc with a combination file" in google for more information.

Odin flash UAE firmware

Hello everyone
I have a question and yes i searched the web
My phone has OJM CSC and MID Region i want to flash UAE android 11 firmware (its OJM) and change the region back MID i wanted to know if i can still get OTA and if there will be any problems like knox
Thank you in advance and i have downloaded the firmware using frija
A715F
And which files should i flash in odin? Sorry its my first samsung phone

If i understood your question correctly then you can surely do that! Before anything make sure to backup your files because some times changing the CSC wont work and it will corrupt all your data. First you need the OJM region firmware and MID firmware after installing OJM using odin BL+AP+CP and CSC use HOME_CSC if you want to keep your precious files! After installing OJM put your phone in download mode and flash just the MID CSC and that should do the trick! Note that you will get OTA updates from the MID region and if you update using OTA it will change your AP BL etc there will not be any problems with knox just if you decide to root. If this helped you make sure to like my response!
