Updated with ODIN, lost all data

I have a S7 Edge from Rogers Wireless (Canada) and they are painfully slow with updates- I was still on the Apr security patches (APD3). I found the firmware for the July update (APG1) which I downloaded (same CSC code -> RWC.)
Used ODIN, defualt settings, with all 5 files chosen in ODIN - followed the guide on XDA and ended up losing all my data.
Is there a way to install these "updates" without losing everything?
Thanks!

Did you used the normal CSC file?
With the HOME_CSC you shouldn't lose anything.

I used the CSC file that came with the package- (HOME_CSC_OYA_G935W8OYA1APG1_CL8421152_QB10225351_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5)
Is it possible to use ODIN and just use the AP file, and ignore the CSC/BL/other files- would that enhance the chances of not losing data?

you only need to flash 4 files, you flash the csc twice the second time was not needed and you erased all your hard work.
the files you need were BL, AP, modem and home csc only not the other csc file.
If you read the instructions carefully it tells you to make a back up so that you can restore your phone in case of problems.

Thanks Cosmic.
Yes the mistake was in using the regular CSC (instead of the home CSC.)
If I now want to change my CSC (Rogers RWC -> Fido FMC), can I flash just a single home_CSC file?
Or,
1. Can I flash the full CSC file (since it's a major change.)
2. Flash the 3 other system files as well, and then home_CSC.
Thanks.

CSC empty (multi csc) after flashing firmware with odin

HI.
I have 935F I bought with the CSC TPA.
I flashed a new firmware with another CSC, and now the CSC of my phone is empty (Recovery says multi-csc).
I flashed via odin AP. Do I need also to flash the CSC file in odin?
What is the solution to get the new CSC?
Thanks!

I have flashed nougat via odin without csc. My csc info shows nothing now. Will it make any problem or what if i flash csc only via odin?

Odin stops at set partition

Hello.
I got atm nougat with PLS csc, and want to flash with odin oreo with xeo csc. In odin when selecting BL AP CP and CSC ( not home_csc ) it always stop at set partition... Clicking repartition didnt help eaither.
And when I select home_csc - it skips all BL AP CP after phone turn on like after reset like nothing changed

SM-T580 Stock FW - CP partition missed ?

I do have problems - Wifi and BT can't be enabled. So I want to reflash Stock Rom.
In the manual at sammobile.com is mentioned to flash 4 partitions, AP, BL, CP, CSC - but in the download zip file there is no CP file (Modem/Radio).
I assume a reflash of CP might useful to recover Wifi/BT. How to get this file? Anything else I can do?

In the stock firmware there should be 4 files. I have this tab and have flashed OS without any problem. While downloading the firmware pls, Check the region and build number.
