Question on ODIN flash

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...

which firmware to download to manually upgrade?

I'm still on this firmware, which to download to get the latest firmware?

Go to sammobile, there you can find the latest available firmware for your country/carrier

from One Ui beta to the OTA

Can I change China CSC to TGY CSC on G7810?

I have chinese version of G7810 S20FE 5G. I want to change it to TGY CSC as CHC version now isn't updating regularly.Is there any chance of brick? Will the device broke if i do that?

if the Hong Kong model is a 0 or O model than it'll work. you'll need a modded version of Odin.
Patched Odin 3.13.1
For those looking for a modified, modded, or patched odin that is a newer build than all the fake and renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around. I patch recent Odin versions to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy; in that...

Question S21 Ultra Software Update problem

Hello guys, I need your help. I bought the phone in the US and moved to country Georgia. As I understand because the CSC code changed I can't update the software. My only option is to flash it via Odin. Following the youtube guide, I downloaded Frija and Odin apps, but I am stuck in the Frija app because don't know which CSC code I should provide alongside my phone model to download the firmware. Could you clarify this matter for me? Thank you in advance.

Thank you for reaching out. After a whole day of digging into the matter I solved the issue. I changed CSC code few times, suprisingly which didn't work. Then as someone pointed out that model of my phone was for Verizon, I changed CSC to verizon branded phone one and viola it did the trick. Although, after all the updates csc stayed same and it brought some Verizon bloatware and verizon start animation during bootup. Do you have any info as to should I change csc back to XAA or let it stay as it is? Note: I bought phone as an unlocked one and it's unlocked but still it was Verizon branded one. Would that cause any problems?

Download SM-G998U1 (XAA) in sammobile.com. Flash it using odin patched (Regular odin will not work)

I have zero knowledge of flashing modding firmwares. Can I ask you why you are suggesting this, is Verizon version of the firmware inferior in any way?

Verizon firmware comes with verizon apps. You dont need those. By flashing U1 firmware.
Then i would say youtube is your bestfriend. You will need samsung drivers to be installed in your pc. patched odin, then the firmware from sammobile.
1. Latest XAA Firmware (sammobile)
2. Samsung Drivers (Personal Mirror)
3. Patched Odin (Personal Mirror)
4. Youtube Guide (skip frija since you already download the firmware in sammobile)
Good luck.

gujikoo​if your device is unlocked you can stay with XAA CSC ( U1 firmware ) and you will not have Verizon bloatwares
​gidzdlcrz​3. Patched Odin (Personal Mirror)
Caution #1 - There are many stock/mod/patch copies floating around the internet with redirected links and other misleading claims and changes. The XDA links below are the only source for clean originals and the original 3B files.
