Don't know which files to flash - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Can somebody help me please?
I still haven't got the Pie OTA and I don't know what UK ROM I would need to flash. I haven't flashed a phone for years and haven't used odin since the galaxy s3
Screenshots from the phone INFO app are below. I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direct of the correct firmware and an odin guide.
TIA

I usually use updato.com for firmware downloads. There are a few others like sammobile.
You can use search filters to find your device model, android version, region, carrier etc
According to your first screen shot your csc is XEU
Second screen shot - latest firmware - G950FXXS4DCS2 is latest firmware for your device so when searching look for these 2 things and also the date as there may be a more recent version.
Use latest Odin version 3.13.1 + latest Samsung drivers.

Then have a look at this thread for a quick guide to flashing firmware.

Thank you so much for your help, one last question will G950FXXS4DCS2 not conflict with my baseband or pda as they seem to end with CRIA OR CSC Version CRI5? Am I just complety misunderstanding those.

You should be right as the updates do change there name to reflect date of issue, version no etc. So CRIA is an older version of firmware than DCS2. So the next update will be called something else.

Thanks

There is no direct firmware to flash. You have to Odin the NB1 tar first, then flash the NC1 update. There is more information in Post 5 here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51130818
Keep in mind, I do not have a sim unlocked phone, so I have no idea what effect, if any, Odin back to ATT stock will have on that aspect.

Nice link.
Did you look at the link I sent you? It has a link to the files you need. UCUFNC1 was only a small 20MB update. Probably why it's not showing up on your link.

[Q] S3 Neo laggin after flash stock rom

Hi, I have the following problem with the phone Galaxy S3 Neo. Just flashed my phone to CM 12.1 but decided to come back to the stock rom. The only one who became ROM for my phone XCUAN with XXUAN not start my camera. So far so good just flashed my phone with the latest available firmware (with Odin) for my region (Bulgaria) but the phone is not the same, there laging in Connection Menu in any games. What to do?
Bulgaria got a very recent update.
Try to download an older one rom. Search for the stock rom that came originally with your device. It might work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647 Use this tool to get the latest firmware. Enter your model and region (BGL or VVT for Bulgaria, VVT is probably bloated with carrier apps.) then it will give you the latest firmware to download. You can also enter the firmware manually, if you want to get an older one. When you have downloaded it, press decrypt and it will give you a zip file, extract it and you will get a tar.md5 file. Then flash it normally via Odin. Credits to @zxz0O0 for the app.

My phone only works with XCUAN firmware with XXUAN camera not start. For my region Bulgaria has only one XCUAN firmware, With him my camera works but there is a slight lag in settings/connections menu and Swamp Attack Game.
XXUANH1 is an older firmware. Maybe your phone shipped with XCUANJ4 and it doesn't support XXUANH1? Try to download the latest XCUAOF1 firmware with SamFirm, I'm running it in SEB region. SamMobile doesn't have the firmware yet. I will attach a photo what you should enter.

Hello and thanks for the reply. I'm with XCUAOF1 region Hungary. I have some occasional lag while scrolling quickly the Settings> Connections, has notice stutter in that particular page. I did not notice the same stutter something else. Same lag is available in the game Swamp Attack. I tried about 10 different firmware and all observed this lag. It all started when I decided to come back from CM 12.1 to stock rom before I had this problem with CM 12.1 also do not have this problem. Already desperate not know what to do will be very grateful for advice

Downloaded firmware from Samobile and tried flashing via Odin over OK2 version but keeps failing. Any suggestions?
Wonder if this could be related to lack of PIT file ?
Can someone kindly extract PIT and upload it for me please ?
I would be really greatful.

Couldn't help you with this one, I ran the update thru OTA. Maybe somebody else here knows a workaround.

could be a different Product Code; for example, my N9208 is from Taiwan and the Product Code BRI. @pmredulla - what is the product code for your N9208?. THanks.

Probably you're right.
My product code is BRI and i was flashing Firmware from different country.
I thought it doesn't make any difference and as long as i have the same model (N9208) i can easily do it ???
So what do i need to do to successfully flash this ROM ?

No, flashing stock doesn't affect KNOX
This method is already being discussed in the main N thread too

Does it wipe my data ? I have RO(MANIA) CSC. Will it work?
Did not worked for me. Still on my Home CSC ... I flashed CSC not home_CSC
It's the same for me. SmartSwitch shows a DBT version although I flashed the CSC from SamFirm.
When I take a look at the CSC on the phone with *#1234# I can see the OXA CSC. I think that's wrong...?
What's wrong? Can u please help me?
Several people from different regions reported this guide and firmware works for them: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-galaxy-s7-edge-nougat-ota-update/
I am currently still downloading
If you're coming from DBT, you have to flash TPL/PRT/PLS before BTU!!! After this, it will work...
I am on BTU firmware but is rooted and modified. Can i flash this without loosing data? My status will be official after flashing it without loosing data?
This is my version. Can I get 7?

S10 Plus Snapdragon version not getting OTA updates

Hello guys, i bough my phone samsung S10 Plus with Snapdragon processor, G975U, and it is running android 10, i want to update it to android 11 but it displays my phone is up to date. OTA updates or Smart Switch doesnt work, tried many times. I live in Brazil and here its sold Exynos varian, since i dislike that version, i bought the Snapdragon USA version of S10 Plus, G975U.
The phone displays AT & T carrier when i turn it on, but its full unlocked, im using my carrier here in brazil, without problems. How can i update it safely, i am afraid getting the wrong rom or brick it. My bootloader version is showed bellow.

Thanks for your help. I will install G975UOYN5GUE3 one. Since i want to keep my apps and data i must flash HOME_CSC_*** right. Or it is not recommended and i should flash just the CSC_*** file? Im not sure
For some reason when i set odin up and the files, i get stuck on file analysis. I suspect is the home_csc that is causing it to take longer. I dont want to erase all my data. Yep waited like 10 min and the process did not start, still on file analysis. Using Odin 3.14.1
Finnaly i did it. Have switch versions, odin 3.14 worked for me. 3.14.1 did not, dont know why, but Who cares, now im running android 11 on my device
Congratulations! I don't know/care about CSC stuff, I never added it to the installation list.
I flashed with home_csc so i could keep all my data and apps. Everything went fine. Thanks

Hi... how about the latest android12 firmware ? Mine is same as OP, an unlocked ATT. Is it better to flash U1 version ? Can also direct to beginner guide as i'm not familiar with these procedures..

U1 is the unlocked variant. You can crossflash any USA Samsung variant, and you will not have any issues - just the carrier bloat and services are slightly different. Keep in mind that inserting a SIM card could change your firmware.
