OREO Update?

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

Make sure you used proper cable(so important)
And then go to search on Google how to unbrick your phone but i don't think that is bricked
What did you exactly to get this

Is twrp booting , or the phone is showing frp logo and just rebooting in odin mode ,
Btw if you want to flash anything with odin , try once more by installing samsung drivers by seraching latest samsung drivers and odin by latest samsung odin and make sure to use the cable which came with your phone or any other good working cable but the cable should be a data cable also rather than just usb charging cable.

Now my phone don't work, all i can see it's a black screen and nothing work's, no download menu, can't connect to Odin.....can i save the phone or just stay 2 months and buy a new phone. I found this pdf any of you know if it's a scam or it's actually true ?
And i'm sorry if i posted in wrong topic!

Don't know much about Samsung phones but mine can not boot into download mode using Home+Vol.Down+Power anymore.
However, it works if I do the following:
1) Open Odin
2) Power off device
3) Hold Power+Vol.Up+Vol.Down, while doing this plug in your cable.
4) Maybe you have to long press Vol.Up now
4) Odin should detect phone and phone should be in download mode
Don't know if that still works since I'm refering to my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i which is really old (highest official Android OS was 2.3.6).
If it doesn't work, someone else may help you.

I try that but is not working.... Thx for reply

Help recovering soft-bricked Galaxy A3 (2017)

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_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"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.
