Hi everyone,
I've a situation, i've got a used Samsung S8 from the UK, and it's working so far perfectly with my carrier (Moroccan one), and i'm trying to update it (via settings) but it always says that there's no update yet, and i'm thinking about doing it manually with Odin, but i'm worried if i install the wrong ROM or something it might lock my phone and i can't use my sim anymore, so my questions are:
1/ How can i know if my phone is already fully unlocked.
2/If i install a rom manually should i go with the UK version or the moroccan one?
3/ in case i install the wrong rom with the good (PDA / CSC) but with a different region, what're the risks?
(Here bellow Firmware / Service provider screenshots)

Try connect your S8 to PC, and run Samsung Switch (on PC). It should say after some minutes, that there´s a newer version of firmware

You flashed an old firmware that's why you are seeing that error.
Download THIS firmware, and flash in Odin. It's for Verizon but has no bloat.
sm-g930V
If I flash the 7.0 with Odin will it wipe my phone? Do I have to back up everything and if so what do you recommend I use to do the back up?

I'm trying to Flash Nougat 7.0 but i'm getting this error:
I have read tons of threads, none seems o solve the issue, one mentioned keeping new modem.bin from CP tar in the Nougat CP to avoid bootloader downgrade (which is not doable apparently) but I didnt manage to do it.
My Question is: is there any way to go to Nougat? I'm open for all options including custom ROM.

1. Do not send info about your IMEI number.
2. You can not down grade to nougat even with custom rom ( not I know of ) unfortunately
I've been looking for the firmware for this device for a long time and I can't find it, I need your help please. What I can do? Or do you know any custom rom? The stock rom would help me a lot, thanks... :C

Would you know what would cause the recovery/boot program to update system - show Erasing after flashing ? Thx in advance!

- install root etc.
Thanks for your support.
Have you already tried connecting to the internet and checking for an update?
I'm a few days beyond this step, and this vid seemed to help me on a Tab A SM-T295. Lots of stupid back and forth stuff but hey I got there in the end
I tried this steps several times no sucess with it. Also no software update available.
Now i am looking for a general software image from samsung (no Vodafone stuff) to install it with Odin.

It appears you have a tablet that is locked by the carrier. You may need to get Vodafone to unlock it.
Hello,
sometime ago, I tried to install a custom ROM (it required a repartitioning script) on my old Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) - SM-A320FL, but after many attempts I wasn't able to install the OS through the custom recovery (OrangeFox R11.0) so I gave up.
Now I decided to go back at it and give it another shot, but first I wanted to return to Stock ROM to see if everything was okay.
After flashing everything with Odin, the installation of Oreo fails, and so I'm stuck in the Stock Recovery.
I tried to flash the phone many times, I even tried doing Nand Erase and Re-partition by using the PIT file that was in the ROM I downloaded, but the outcome is always the same
(On the first reboot I can see the Android updating page, the installation fails, it throws me in recovery - If I reboot the phone it remains stuck on the white Samsung screen).
The stock Recovery always shows this error:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I downloaded the firmware files using Friya 1.4.4.0, with the Model set as SM-A320FL and the CSC as ITV (unbranded).
Maybe I choose the wrong CSC, and this is why it's not working, but I'm not sure. The other country codes for my country (IT) should be the following:
FWB, GOM, HUI, OMN (Vodafone), OXA*, TIM, VOM, WIN, XET

Honestly, I'm not sure on how this error can still persist after a complete re-flash of the device, so I'm here asking for your help. Thanks.
