I just flashed my G950N using these files: PDA G950NKSU3DSF2 CSC G950NOKR3DSF2. From the documentation I was reading, using the CSC, not the CSC_HOME should have erased all the data from the phone. To my surprise, my data was still on the phone.
the phone previously has Android 8 with RENOVATE ICS on it. Any idea why this happened?

You can use any firmware availble for i9505 with odin data wont be lost but in some cases u myte have issues crashes etc
After flashing the firmware reset is recommended

Hey,
The funny thing is that I have had the same question a few hours ago. I'm from Germany, too. I thought a data-backup in CWM would solve this problem. So I have formatted all partitions (except internal and external storage) and have installed the stock firmware. But when I tried to restore the data partition, it wasn't there anymore.
So you really should backup your "backups" folder from sd card to your pc or external sd card before you format something!

sometimes your lucky enough to just update without data loss but if your run into issues im afraid the only way is to wipe data factory reset

Yes,If you update Via ODin data loss is not there. Some Updates via ODIn would have "WIPE " written next to them in case they are going to Delete the Data..
It is recommended to Factory reset After Flashing Via ODIn.
Why don't you install Titanium Backup and Backup all your Data+App from that and Then flash the latest Version and Restore the Same
thank you all guys.
i'll make a titanium backup and do some tests when i have some time
better be sure that if anything goes wrong, i havean assistance )
Hi,
Tried to flash firmware to get rid of vodafone csc from my new s8 but csc keep staying VOD i want it BTU ideally.
Has anyone tried it yet and done it?
Need some advice
Need to flash then wipe for it to take.
Thanks for advice can you specify do you mean flash and then in recovery wipe cache and wipe data?
Anyone can help please?
Ok what he means is once flashed btu go into recovery not sure what 3 buttons to press but Google it.
Once in there wipe cache and reformat phone once more then it should change VOD to BTU that's what I did when I had my vodafone s7 and changed it to btu
It doesn't work stays VOD no matter what i do

This shouldn't be a problem so let me help. First some questions...
1. From which carrier/country is your phone?
2. Does it have a network lock?
3. Is it the Model number SM-G950F?
4. Which files did you flash via Odin (please type the actual filenames) and with which settings in Odin?
5. If you go into Settings - About phone - Software information - Service provider software. Please tell me the first and third line there under this point.

Hi,
1. Bought from Vodafone UK
2. Removed lock by code
3 G950F
4 Sorry don't have access to my laptop now but I've
Downloaded latest btu software from sammobile
unpacked it and used as per instructions. Tried using either home_csc or the other one but no luck either
Settings tried just standard and tried pit and reformat didn't work either
5. SAOMC_SM-G950F-OXM_XEU_077
XEU/XEU/VOD
when go into recovery it's still VOD tho
You have done all you could do.
You needed to flash with normal CSC NOT with HOME_CSC to change the CSC.
Your new CSC is XEU!
It still shows XEU/XEU/VOD because VOD is the original CSC of your phone. This is new for the S8 and could not be changed! But normally you will get OTA updates for your new XEU CSC just fine! And any Vodafone-Apps should also be removed.
So everything is like on Samsung devices debranded bevore - beside that the factory CSC is hard branded inside the phone. But thats just optical. Everything else works like it is an XEU CSC.

Are you sure about that? In the past if you didnt change properly the CSC after unbranding your phone you werent getting OTA updates anymore, i've read on SamMobile you gotta use Smart Switch using the serial number of a phone you know has that CSC, but i dont know how to find one, no one answered me on here. I'm thinking of going into a store and look at the exhibition one, but im afraid it's not legal to do that.
I have a an italian no brand s8 ITV, i want to change in XEU ( uk and ireland) to get update fast more than my country
I flashed all 4 files in odin and then hard reset but nothing changed.. from AQF7 ITV to AQF7 XEU ( try with this to see if i get new update come out in this days) but nothing remain in Phone info and in setting ITV/ITV/ITV nothing change
Is possible without root make this or i wrong something? Thank guys
Did you wipe data / cache after flashing the firmware? I'm assuming that you may have done as you mention a hard reset.

yes i do a factory reset wipe cache in recovery.. but nothing to do nothing change
Flash self with odin you first guy
Ok ITV is part of the same csc as XEU so all you need to do is flash the 4 files but when flashing use the home csc file not the other one and then see what happens.
i try see what happens, i remove sim card too

Nothing with home csc nothing change.. always ITV ITV ITV
Flash, boot set wifi ecc then reboot in recovery ( first say no command all time i tried but 3sec appear recovery) wipe everything, but nothing change
Strange one that. But just thinking because ITV and XEU are part of the csc family you should get OTA pretty much the same time. I just recently updated mine to latest update by connecting my phone to my laptop and then smart switch.
You have to use a UK Sim card and make a reset with it
Hi there. I have a galaxy s7 edge and i change my rom to the latest ROM csc firmware because i did not like the vodafone bloatware which i couldnt remove. Everything is working fine but my question is: Is now my phone fully changed to ROM csc? I have used simple csc and not home. Are there and traces on my phone that could reveal the vodafone csc? I want to be fully ROM with no traces that could lead to the old csc.
Note: i have installed the rom 3 times with odin and every time i wiped the cache and the data from recovery to be fully clean.
Thank you in advance.
Okay, that's my problem.
I want to install Stock Rom. Install via ODIN. I've chosen the right device ROM for S7 edge, for my region Bulgaria ... but!
I tried several times and always after the installation I have new, additional menus and applications. Sometimes the menus are duplicated in settings and other times I get operator functions in England, Poland or Germany.
In Odin I load the files AP, BL, Home_CSC and CP. I do not change Odin's settings. Only selected by default.
Where am I wrong?
Do I need to delete / format NAND?
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935F/BGL/ - I use that ROM
Thank you, I'd be happy with any help
Don't use home csc, use the simple csc file ; it will wipe your files, be sure to wipe cache and factory reset from recovery after flashing and NEVER ever try to delete nand. Good luck
