Hi Guys,
I originally asked this in the ROM's thread, over here
But i didn't get any answer, at all, so i was hoping someone here could clear the questing up for me.
Everything on the Custom CWM Flashable ROM matches my existing software verson apart from the CSC as found by *#1234# .
Will this be OK or will this brick my device? Any help would be really appreciated, i know there's someone out there that can help me out.
All the searching I've done on CSC's just tells me the differences not the consequences.
I live in the UK and i'm on O2, just need to know if the ROM will work?
Thanks in advance!
from my experience about my older samsung devices galaxy tab and note 1 it cause only factory reset your phone but don't know if knox thing change something about csc too.
I've been having a problem on my S5 where the data symbol is stuck on 4G and doesn't show anything else. It might be a baseband/modem error since I'm using a Canadian model in Cyprus. Can I use the modem from the Cyprus G900F firmware and flash it on my G900W8? Also can someone explain how I could do that so that I don't screw it up, if it is possible?
!
RE UP!
Same pb...
To flash a modem you need a .bin file and odin.
Clear your delvik/cache,
put your phone in download mode,
load phone with the .bin file and flash it.
I also am having data issues with all custom ROM's. If it's not one thing it's another. Canadian phones always get left in the dust it seems.

Probably not. You neglected to tell us what your W8 baseband and firmware are, which is rather crucial information. Making it impossible to give you a definitive answer. In most cases Odin will refuse to allow the change.
That isn't really an issue most of the time. There should be a variety of W8 modems for you to choose from if you want to change your modem.

i bought an S8 in Cancun it has the telcel splash screen it looks cheap also know its a g950f can i just download any g950f rom and flash it?
i dont like it cause when i recover it it auto starts in spanish i live in the US and want it in english not sure which rom to use if i can.
any pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. i already have odin and drivers for the phone. any unbranded english rom would be great.
I would first try to check if it's a Snapdragon or Exynos model. Usually Mexico will carry the Exynos and not the Snapdragon model, this will help to see what (if any) unlocked firmware you can use.
Hi all, not had a Samsung phone since the first Note so cant remember a thing about flashing/de-branding on these aside from Odin and I know things might be different now with Knox.
So I've just ordered a Vodafone S8 in the UK and I'm considering switching firmware when it comes to an unbranded one but was hoping someone could point me to a good guide of where to get the firmwares (and which one to use) for the latest updates etc.
Is this still a fairly easy job and doable without unlocking and rooting/tripping knox? Do you lose access to wifi calling on unbranded phones on Vodafone?
Thanks
Go to updato.com and search firmwares for the G950U1 (If those are the snapdragon variant). I always use the XAA as it's not specific to any carrier.
It's still the same method but I'd use the modded Odin which has been posted around here, rename each file and remove .md5 from the end of them. From there it all matches up. BL, AP, Etc. When flashing the csc file, HOME CSC will NOT wipe your device after flash, CSC WILL wipe it. You'll want to wipe initially anyway.
It doesn't trip Knox and you'll lose wifi calling and volte

He's got a g950f which is the European model(exynos)
Thanks for the info, i did a little more research myself and looking at my software version it says SAOMC_SM-G950F_OXM_BTU_0062
My CSC's are listed as BTU/BTU/BTU which as far as im aware means its already the unlocked version correct? There was no vodafone junk preinstalled but wifi calling shows up as working. So im a little lost now, I dont think i need to do anything and I have wifi calling so all seems ok.

Where did you get your S8 from, direct from Vodafone? I've had mine for about 6 weeks now and got mine from Vodafone direct and my CSC is VOD, my current firmware is:
G950FXXU1AQH3
I was just looking into flashing mine with the BTU firmware so I can get the Oreo beta.

I got mine from www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk they told me it wasn't unlocked so I assumed that meant it came from Vodafone. Not tried any other SIM in it yet to test that side.
Wifi calling definitely works, there's no vodafone crap installed no branding anywhere.
According to
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950F/VOD/
there is G950FXXU1AQI7 for the Vodafone branded CSC im on G950FXXU1AQH3 for BTU.

Ah, I see so yours is definitely unlocked then as I've purchased from them before, same as CPW.
Yes I've checked samfirmware too, I will need to flash the older BTU firmware then by looks of it, however I need to look into it a bit more as I've read somewhere that flashing the S8 is a bit different.

Hi,
Now on the phone:
Model : SM-G955FD
Buildnumber: NRD90M.G955FXXU1AQ19
But it is a S8 Plus with only 1 sim
thnx
That makes no sense?
The SM-G955FD and SM-G955F use the same firmware.
The only way that would happen is if you flashed a SM-955FD specific firmware. it won't cause any problem or affect your device in any way.
But it would help to know exactly what you did while you "were playing" in Odin.
If you tell us which country or carrier you are with, we can find the correct firmware for your device and you can flash that back and it'll be back to how it should be, if you really want to get it back to normal.
