hi folks,
Please can someone give me pointers on how to flash a stock rom on and S8 to remove the enterprise edition. Not keen on rooting but could consider it as an option.
Do I need to change the CSC code? Or leave it to the existing carrier? Whats the best option.
Please advise

Hi,
Changing CSC is not mandatory so it's up to you. You can flash stock ROM without changing it.
- Use Odin on PC for flashing, download the ROM on the internet and find it once downloaded by pressing AP button on Odin.
- Use Samfirm to download firmwares from Samsung (adviced).

Thanks Benjamin..
Can I get away with installing a stock rom or do I need to install the carrier rom? The carrier is vdaphone..
Depends if your device is vodafone branded or not
Thanks folks, I have been able to flash the BTU rom and it all good..
I have one issue, the enterprise knox enrollment service still comes up at startup.. I was under the impression that a stock flash return it to standard from enterprise.
Please advise
Update: I went down the root option and wiped the phone which got rid of the enterprise software. I didnt know about the e-fuse (last I rooted a phone and was able to return it to stock years ago and thought it still to be the case) now despite flashing the stock BTU firmware I have 0×1 flag which means I can't use S Health etc.
Not fussed about the warranty as it was out anyway.. can anyone recommend options I should go down?
Any pointers folks?
Find a stock based custom rom with patched s health and other apps with fake Knox 0x0, that's the only choice for you now

I have bought my sgs2 from samsung Romania. They say if i flash any other firmware beside the official one for Romania via Kies, i lose the warranty.
I can hardly help it to stay stock:|. I am looking to root, flash updates, customs roms.
My question is: Can i revert to the stock official XWKE2, unroot, etc just as out of the box, so that the phone can appear untweaked and have the warranty again ? Is there a way the guys at the service find out that the phone was flashed?
Thanks in advance for your answers!

how do i find a copy? from where can i download ?
on xda? i'll try a search

oh and btw,
if you flash a custom binary, it voids your warranty, even if you flash back to stock.
everytime you flash a custom binary, it notes how many times you flashed a custom binary.
if you would send your device back to your carrier, they can easily check if there was a custom binary flashed on your phone.
I would suggest, that you get an USB jig off ebay or somewhere else. with it, you can reset this counter, and you get your warranty back(price is around 8$).

You should give more details about your phone & What firmware you want to flash, to get proper guidance from someone.
Thx, I would like to flash the same firmware version but without carrier modofications to get rid of the bloat and get faster updates in the future. Version I'm running now is ANK4 and device is N910F.
No problem! If you download a signed firmware on SamMobile, you can flash it via Odin and knox will still 0x0. I did it because here in Brazil, my SM-N910C came with a lot of carrier apps and bootanimation, so I flashed a stock no carrier and it is working fine.
hi,
have SM-G901 samsung galaxy s5 plus, android is 4.4.4, baseband: G901FXXUANK2, on EE in uk, i believe the rom i need kccat6
I have manage to root and disable knox.
anybody ? i need help to install custom rom can i flash different firmware and use a different rom ?
Yes. You can, just make sure to do a full wipe before flashing the new firmware. What's your provider and is your bootloader unlocked?
hi provider is uk ee, have rooted mobile, how do i check bootloader status, i flashed using cf-root with odin to get root and supersu installed, have managed to disable knox as well from supersu.
i am registered with sammobile just need some guidance on getting correct firmware so i do not brick mobile.

i think you ask in the wrong section, go to Q&A.
When you flash different firmware, make sure you use the correct modem and bl , or it wont boot and give bad reception.
look at picture , i believe the correct one
you have been thanked yes that is correct will move to q & a.
Hi,
Now I have my nice S9+ I need to recycle my S7 Edge.
I have been searching and not found a good guide to return everything to stock - can anyone please point me to one ? I have rooted and have been running Black Pearl S9 port on my S7. Need to get as close to stock as possible with bootloader, but not the obvious tripped thing.
Thanks v much
Use Sammobile.com site

1.Create an account.
2.Enter your model number
3.Select your country.
4.Select latest version in the top.
5.Select Wait and download option and soils you have the stock ROM!
Thanks. Will this return the bootloader and recovery too though ?
Done it - seems to have worked fine. Thanks for the help.

Using Odin will not trip Knox as it is official software you are flashing, however if you use odin to flash TWRP then this will trip Knox.
I bought my mobile from UAE and am using it in india. When i compare my s10 plus with s10 indian variant , s10 front camera quality far beter than my s10 plus.so i m planning to flash indian region os using odin and have some doubt on this. Please some one clear my doubts
1. Will knox service get tripped, if i flash indian os using odin.?
2. Is this issue occurs due to different region os or hardware fault
3. If knox gets tripped, will it be fixed later ?
Thanks

Yes you will get OTA after flashing a stock firmware using Odin
Use the main CSC file (not the HOME-CSC) if changing region
I always enable OEM Unlock in developer options before attempting to change CSC with Odin (disable OEM Unlock again after you have completed flash to enable full security)
You can only flash a firmware file that matches your model Variant
E.g. you cannot flash 975F firmware to an 975U model etc
Finally be aware your phone will be wiped after the flash completes so backup everything before you start. Good luck
Thanks a lot for your reply. And i am not get your points about CSC...can you please explain little more

Firmware for Odin flash contains 2 CSC files. The HOME_CSC file will NOT erase your device, the CSC one will. However as you are changing CSC code it is best to use the normal CSC file and allow your device data to be erased as it’s not a good idea to mix data and settings between different firmware
Hope this helps and good luck
