S8 HELP! unbranding and upgrading - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I'm a newbie with Samsung and firmware flashing.
I saw something on youtube and now I'm flashing an unlocked firmware (G950U1 and I have the G950F Claro) it has been a while since odin is at <ID:0/003>abl.elf and nothing is showing in the progressing bar, is it normal?
Also, If I flash G950FXXU1CRB7 on this G950U1 (G950U1UEU1AQE3) will it work and upgrade it to oreo?
How to safely stop the process?

Downgrade from Oreo to Nougat? [SM-G950F]

So yesterday I updated from Nougat (not rooted) to Oreo. After I updated I had some issues with my SIM. Basically most of the time I get "Out of service/Not registered in the Network". The SIM is working fine in other Phones. Already tried a reformat (with Stock Recovery) did not help.
So can I just use Odin v3.12 and the S8 Nougat files and flash them?
Will it brick If I do it?
The Oreo Firmware (and my phone) has no carrier. (DBT, Germany)
Same goes for the Nougat Firmware.
Thanks

Hi, in this case the Knox is altered? I was reading something about the new Oreo bootloader that would not allow the downgrade. Thank you and sorry for my English!

galaxy s7 edge at&t oreo 8.0

Hello Everyone
I've been searching for some information regarding galaxy s7 edge at&t but i cannot find specific info related upgrading this phone from nougat 7.0 to oreo 8.0 ? My phone is unlocked so i'm using different carrier but i believe bootloader of the phone is still locked so i cannot flash custom recovery or custom roms. My intention is flashing official oreo 8.0. What is the official oreo for this model ? Actually there are some that i found on the forum but i'm a bit confused which one it is. Is it possible to flash official oreo 8.0 without unlocking bootloader via odin ( people say you cannot unlock bootloader of U.S. versions ) ? If it is possible how can i flash it ? will be appreciated for any suggestions .
Thank you
Search for androidfilehost on google enter the site and search for G935A and you could use the first file , i'm currently using it (you'll need odin if you want to flash it , if you want any help ask) Have fun!

Samsung S8 firmware - Questions regarding flashing

Hey guys, I have a Samsung S8 which I was running LinageOS on but now was to revert back to the stock android ROM.
The issue I have is it appears to be a South Koera (KTC) phone, but it always has this KTMobile crap on it when I flash it. So my question is can I flash another firmware?
I need some help understanding the different components made up in the firmware and what I can and cannot deviate from (to avoid bricking).
AP
CSC
BL
CP
Which of these HAVE to be the same? Im guessing bootloader (BL) must match otherwise I will brick it.
There is also a little confusion over weather it is a SM-G950F or a SM-G950N. I have seen the phone report both.
Is there a way or a firmware I can flash without all the KTMobile crap on it, or could I just flash a New Zealand firmware as I am based in New Zealand.
The firmware I installed currently is G950NKSU5DUA2, but it is buggy and is causing crashes. Can I deviate from this G950NKSU5DUA2 and chose a different firmware?
Thanks in advance.
