Yesterday I flashed my S8 to CRAG... I'm not sure if that was the latest or not... now I see that CRA5 is the latest... is that true? If so what is the best way to flash? Do I just need to go to https://samsung.firmware.science/ and select my old firmware and download CRA5 or can someone sent me the update file?
THANKS

Hi everyone, I am facing a dilemma while rooting my TA-1033 that is currently on build no. 00WW_5_22A_SP01
I want to have a full firmware file to flash in case something goes wrong during the process.
Can anyone link me to the correct firmware, or is there perhaps cross compatibility between different models
e.g. I may be able to flash TA-1021 firmware?
Thanks in advance for your help

You came to right place, but let me tell u
To get official and regular update, u need to follow some steps
I can guarantee that u will be on ur official ta-1033 not on other ta-10xx
Here are the steps
1. Goto this link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/how-to/updated-mirror-link-ota-monthly-updates-t3733784
2. Download only mena firmware and December OTA zip from first row
3. Goto recovery (stock one, if u dont have then flash the stock recovery through twrp) install December OTA zip, you will get error but dont worry, just reboot
4. if u now see the nougat stock recovery then u r downgraded the bootloader too.
5. Reboot into bootloader or download mode.
6. Install mena firmware( i know it shows ta-1033 in setting menu but internally its ta-1025)(just dony worry).
7. After flashing mena firmware, connect to wifi network and hit system updates, u will get the official 8.0.0 either January or February ota update directly.( Remember this official update will change your ta-1025 to ta-1033 internally and make u official again)
8. After official oreo 8.0.0, you will get next monthly updates
i.e., February, Marchh then 8.1.0 March, then april
Done you will be on ur official ta-1033, not on ta-1025(mena)
I did few days ago and m on my regular and official ta-1021
Enjoy
Thanks for your help, I'll test it out tomorrow and let you know if I encounter any problems!

Hey guys, One of my friends S7 edge(SM-G935FD)duos unlocked bought in Australia, Probably a grey import is stuck on MM without any updates
Software update Just says no updates available. Tried connecting to Switch, still no luck finding updates.
I been reading that it could be updated through Odin. Just trying to get it updated to Oreo!
Just few questions before i proceed
1. Can Oreo be flashed directly on MM without going to Nougat?
2. Since he is using the phone in Australia can i flash SM-G935F firmware's found on this link? https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935F/XSA/
(just hoping he would get future OTA updates if i flash Australian Firmware. right?)
3. From the above link, how important is the CSC & PDA , can i just choose the latest and flash? Unlocked phone
4. any tips or guides you guys can point me towards
Thank you
sorry, anyone able answer my 1st question if possible?
is there a tg group?
I have Samsung Galaxy S8 G950W having Android 7.0 with Samsung Experience 8.1 and Baseband Version G950WVLS2ARA1. I intend to update it to 9.0. Where can I find its official update through Odin installation? I'm not in the region to find OTA.
Thanks
Use updato.com. You can use SamMobile but it takes years without a premium account. HOWEVER YOU CAN'T FLASH THE NEWEST SOFTWARE IF THE PHONE IS WAY BEHIND..... EITHER FLASH THE FIRMWARE BUT THAT ALLOWS OTA UPDATES OR FLASH EVERY FIRMWARE ONE BY ONE. I hope this helped:laugh:
I have found G950WVLU5CSD5_G950WOYA5CSD5_VMC and downloaded. But am not yet sure about the right firmware. Is there any way to get it confirmed?

As long u are searching for correct model of your phone u are good to go
U can use sammobile,updato.com, samfrew.com to download firmware for your model ( there is even samfirm pc app to download firmware at full speed)
Also u can flash pie or any other release without needing to install one by one firmware as suggested above.
Good to go. Trying...
Hello,
Recently I've updated my Galaxy S8 g950fd from Android 8.0 to 9.0, however i found it terrible and I would love to go back to 8.0. I've read many topics and all of them states that I have to downgrade it through the Odin. I've downloaded a few softs from websites:
SM-G950F_1_20181227130827_c3nriwjmas_fac
G950FXXS4CRLB
G950FXXS4CRLB_G950FOXM4CRL1_LYS
G950FXXU3CRGH_CL14023573_QB19093103
G950FXXS4CRLB_G950FOXM4CRL1_LYS
G950FXXU1AQG5_G950FOXM1AQG5_ZTO_4file
And non of them works. Odin keep showing FAIL message, phone stuck on bootloop and the only software I can use is 9.0 ( G950FXXS5DSF1_OXM5DSF1_(SM-G950FD))
At this moment I'm downloading 2 firmwares from sammobile.com website: XSG-G950FXXU4CRL3-20181218135110 and XSG-G950FXXS4CRLB-20190128142840 and I hope they will resolve the issue I'm facing.
What am I doing wrong? Is there any other way to downgrade my phone?
Thanks a lot for replies!
Your bootloader version is v5 and all other firmware including previous pie and all Oreo firmware are at v4 . If u installed June or July update on your phone then u can't go back anymore and thus Odin keep faling for your

What about going back to 8.0 through TRWP? Impossible?
I've found this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/s8-downgrade-version-9-t3922577 and I've downloaded G955USQU5CSA4_G955UOYN5CSA4_CCT.zip
G955USQS5CRL1_G955UOYN5CRL1_USC.zip
G955USQU5CSA4_G955UOYN5CSA4_LRA.zip
G955USQU5CRK1_G955UOYN5CRK1_TMB.zip , however when I try to install s8+ firmware through Odin it keeps showing FAIL. Damn.. No other way to go back to 8.0 than new phone?

I've found Lineage 15.1 OS with bootloader v5 on android 8.0 however I am struggling now with installing TWRP. Keep getting FAIL in ODIN and note in phone: Only official relased binaries are allowed to be flashed (RECOVERY). I've tried to reset cache, perform factory data, OEM is enabled and usb debugging as well. I don't know what's going on to be honest and after reviewing thousands of posts - I can't fix that issue.. My current software on my g950fd is G950FXXU5DSFB Android 9.0.
Is here anyone who can advice me what should I do? I would really appreciate that. Thanks!
Anyone?
Sorry can't help you with that much, it seems u did all correct steps for rooting the phone. dunno why u get only official binary message.
Edit:
Post your issue here, maybe someone here can help you more

Thanks! I try!
So my son broke his phone and is now using my old Verizon s10+. At the time I stopped using it, was still on firmware VZW SJ8 ( Android 10 beta)
My question is this.
Do I need to flash all subsequent firmwares sequentially? Can I just download a full version of the latest firmware and flash it and be up to date?
If so, does anybody have a good place to download said firmwares?
It's been a minute since I flashed anything. I don't remember anything apparently.
