Restore CSC with Odin?

I was rooted on AOE, but decided to Odin back to stock to update to AO2. The update downloads, but fails to install at 25%.
The phone works fine, and data works, but would like to update. I used an app called Phone Info *Samsung* to find that in the CSC part, Firmware's CSC Code, CSC Country and CSC Country ISO is empty. The other fields do have something in them.
Can I just Odin the CSC_ATT tar.md5 file via the CSC box? or are there settings or anything that I might need to change before I can do that?
Thank you in advance!

Download the stock firmware for your device and flash all 4 files that you will find inside that file all at once.
BTW if your S6 is from AT&T the versions are NOT AOE nor AO2. They are OCE and OE2.

Yes, those are my versions, sorry about the confusion!
Can I flash all 4 without the risk of tripping Knox? I'm concerned about flashing the bootloader in particular.
Thanks again for your help.

Flash all 4 files at once, not individually. Bootloader is locked so no flashing for it.

Please help! After flash this ROM from odin, It won't boot up and stuck at Android Recovery screen. It said dm-verification fail.... need to check DRK first......
Can some one give me the link to the file to fix this issue please? I just found the file G925F_6.0.1_fixdrk. I did not see the file to fix G925A.
Thanks in Advance!

Works very well installed it directly from 5.1.1 with BOJ9
Thanks!

Worked for me as well, but i noticed by battery is draining faster. When my screen is on you can just see the battery vanish no matter what application i use. I came from CPF1 to this and i am thinking of going back since i could get a day and some on my phone..
Running factory stock AT&T firmware.

worked fine for me from Vietnam

I had no trouble with this, and was actually the only firmware that fixed the issue I created during a hastily thought out root attempt.
Appreciate it
I'm in Georgia too so nobody should have any trouble if you set up Odin correctly.
You will have to re-flash another modem, but it gets the phone to boot correctly.

Not Receiving OTA UPDATES!!!!

Hi all,
Please help me out!
I have a note 8 with (N950U) - XAA/XAA/SPR - and I have not received a single OTA update!
I used the firmware science method to install a few updates and flashed (using Odin) when Oreo was released.
But now I want to solve this issue and start receiving OTA updates. I do not mind using Odin again to get this sorted - but preferable not lose my data.
Thank you

I have tried looking for update on a US VPN but again, no result.
You think a change of region - SPR to something else will solve this issue?
Thnx

You have a branded device but not linked with any carrier in US. Change your firmware to an unbranded one and from CRL2 you will receive the last oreo stable CSA1 or you can download the firmware directly from an app like Updato from Google Play and wait that a beta stable on pie will be released.

Ok, this is the first guide as reference:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74087672&postcount=4
Odin Tool normal just in case you need it:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850505662
I used the patched version:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657595813
Last Oreo Odin rom available:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397886161
Staying in this version you have to theoretically receive updates from OTA

Thank you i am going to try this.
Question, the guide says "Note - If you are flashing Unlocked Firmware from Carrier Firmware you must use Prince Comsy Odin otherwise, use regular Odin."
So, in my case i am going from a 950U firmware to 950U1, should i use odin or prince comsy odin? and is there a way to keep my data? or will it be reset for sure?

Use the modded Odin mentioned.
You can keep your data but in this case you will go to switch to a different firmware so is better that you do a backup with SmartSwitch and them go to recovery, do a format/factory reset , then in Odin flash the firmware, reboot and restore your data

Great I will do a full reset. But when you say modded Odin is the prince comsey Odin?

try restoring your phone's firmware using Samsung Smart Switch.

I'm not sure what exactly is Comsy, I read about it but I guess this was an older version, I used the patched version linked in one of my previous posts and works like a charm. I switch from N950U to N950U1 and I had any trouble doing this procedure. About keep your data if you use Home_CSC you will preserve it but you need to delete your old CSC that is where go the preferences of a carrier, so you have to use CSC_oyn file instead

If you are not using a Sprint sim and your device is not a locked carrier (under contract) this message can't appear.
If you follow all the steps, factory resetting first in recovery, then flashing the CRL2 firmware including CSC_oyn then the bloat from the carrier has to be deleted.
It's probably too that you backed up settings with Smart Switch and then restored it, if this is the case try by factory resetting again and restore your backup but not your settings, also check any app related with sim provider that you backed up avoiding restore it.

Need help please

Hi, like Ahmed I also have a SM-N950U XAA/XAA/SPR. My note 8 is not receiving OTA update and it seems like it never will (writing on 01-Apr-2019). Its probably because im using it in Pakistan. Im fairly new to the OTA and manual OS flashing thing. I dont understand any CRL2 or 3 whatever it is.. I would really appreciate if i could get a step by step guide about how to do it since im going to be making a transition from Nougat to Oreo (Or pie of possible). Please please i would really appreciate your help. as i dont want to brick my phone and i dont know what to do.
Thanks a bunch.

Well, the steps are in all the thread.
Let´s go for the obvious first; I guess actually you are not using a sim card from US so you are out of US now and then no need on any carrier´s bloat.
You need first of all switch to an unbranded firmware, it´s mean from N950U to N950U1.
If you are actually on nougat then flash this firmware that is the latest Oreo since you can upgrade after to Pie https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397886161 Use this modded Odin to flash it https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657595813
Process to flash through Odin and switch correctly to unbranded firmware:
- First of all backup your important data using SmartSwitch (you can do it on a SDCard inside your device)
- Enable USB Debugging in developer options and OEM unlock if present.
- Go to recovery and Factory Reset/Format Data.
- Then use menu "Reboot to bootloader" to go to download mode.
- Load the files on Odin and from the two CSC choose CSC_OYN to delete/reset all the preferences, start flashing and wait PASS message.
- Reboot normally to system.
From here to upgrade to Pie go to this site https://firmware.science and complete the following: Model number: SM-N950U1 (this will be from now your model number), in Current version put the firmware ended with CRL2 (the firmware that you flashed previously) and download the first Beta ended on CSAB; move the zip onto your device and go to recovery and flash it using Update from sdcard (this could be wipe again your data).
If you want to update to the second Beta repeat the previous process; complete as Current version: firmware ended on CSAB and choose and download firmware ended on CSBB (less sized).
And finally to go to the last Beta available do the same, Current version; firmware ended on CSBB and download firmware ended on ZSC2 and flash it again using recovery updater.
It could be more Betas but not available yet on Firmware.science.
From beta firmware it´s unlikely that you receive OTA but when an Official Pie be release theoretically you have to receive them normally or if you want to receive them just now then you have to stay on Oreo CRL2 you´ll receive an Oreo OTA update CSA1 (more or less 40MB) and wait from there that an official Pie will be release.

First of all thanks a lot for getting back to me so quick i really appreciate it. Yes youre right about not using the US sim card. If you could just bare with my rookie questions a bit more.
Do i download the "firmware" and modded odin into my note 08 by following your shared links or do i have to download them into PC. If phone, then shud it be on SD card or internal storage?
Second, """Go to recovery and Factory Reset/Format Data.
- Then use menu "Reboot to bootloader" to go to download mode.
- Load the files on Odin and from the two CSC choose CSC_OYN to delete/reset all the preferences, start flashing and wait PASS message.
- Reboot normally to system."""
I only know how to enable developer mode. Thats when you tap built number. But debugger and OEM idk that. And everything you mentioned in """ how do i do it ? Whats to be done on PC and what on computer i have no clue. Youll have to guide me like a child about this i apologise.
Judging by your pie statements. Thats very techincal to do. So i believe its better off going for Oreo for now and wait for the Pie update automatically.
Thanks in advance

The first firmware linked at Android File Host is Oreo, this firmware you have to flash it using Odin so download it with your pc and put it in any place of your preference onto your pc DON´T move it to your device.
Second, """Go to recovery and Factory Reset/Format Data.

This is indicated to make a clean flash, to delete/reset some APN preferences and some traces that came preinstalled with this device linked to a carrier.
- Then use menu "Reboot to bootloader" to go to download mode.
- Load the files on Odin and from the two CSC choose CSC_OYN to delete/reset all the preferences, start flashing and wait PASS message.
- Reboot normally to system."""
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unzip the firmware that you downloaded till get some files in .tar format, within these files you´ll find two CSC files, choose the CSC_OYN file and not the CSC_HOME on the CSC box and all the other files load them on every corresponding box: BL, AP, CP that you´ll find in Odin.
I only know how to enable developer mode. Thats when you tap built number. But debugger and OEM idk that. And everything you mentioned in """ how do i do it ? Whats to be done on PC and what on computer i have no clue. Youll have to guide me like a child about this i apologise.

No, I refer to OEM unlock option but I forgot that this option is not visible in this variant so forget it, just enable Developer Options and USB Debugging that you will find them then to tap on build number 7 times.
Here´s a tutorial about how to use Odin https://androidmtk.com/flash-samsung-stock-rom-using-odin just replace some step by the indicated here.
Judging by your pie statements. Thats very techincal to do. So i believe its better off going for Oreo for now and wait for the Pie update automatically.

Really is not so hard to do all this but if you´re not so familiar you can flash just the firmware linked and wait for an OTA prompt update.

Issues after update

Hey guys. Having some issues after I flashed a firmware. Phone is falsely detecting root, and some apps don't work anymore. Apps affected include
Samsung Pass
S Health
Secure Folder
Phone has never been rooted. I've done a factory data reset twice, still getting the same errors. Went into download mode to check if Knox has been tripped. Please see attached picture.
When I try to switch on Mobile Hotspot, I get the following message: "All apps associated with this action have been turned off, blocked, or are not installed". Only app I disabled is Facebook.
Don't know if these issues are related
I used the patched Odin to flash the new firmware. Phone is originally an unlocked AT&T model (N960U). I flashed an N960U1 firmware (https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...SM-N960U1/XAA/download/N960U1UES1CSF1/278280/). Haven't noticed any other issue. Phone is fully functional, and there are no network issues (my biggest fear)
Kindly help

Flash all the files, but also tick for "Nand erase" and repartition (U also need to use the pit-file, that you can extract from the CSC-file with 7-zip). Also when selecting CSC-file in Odin, don't use "Home_CSC."
Flash it, the phone will reboot (and a blue screen may appear, let the phone finish and again reboot.)
Maybe you should use this ROM instead? https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note9/firmware/SM-N960U/CHA/download/N960USQS1CSF3/277681/

No OTA Updates thru ATT

I have not gotten a single OTA update for a long while, stuck on February 19 security update. Called both ATT and Samsung and they were not successful at pushing updates to my phone. Anyway to fix this?

Assuming you have att&t and are in the US, you can flash one of the recent updates posted from here through Odin. Flash the latest one if you want to be done, or flash an update one or two updates old to verify if you get OTA'S after flashing.
Use home_csc to keep data when flashing through Odin.
