Any mirrors for the latest firmware on the 2nd post?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gasser.Atef:
again you missed the most important part of my question, my device is S8 Duos 950FD<--- and i was not talking about data getting deleted, i was talking about any stock apps that require security that will not work anymore, like Samsung Pay and Samsung Health

that's it, my question was not even about CSC and i did see EGY in the 2nd post but i thought i'd just mention it not ASK about it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
S8, S8+, S8 Duos, S8+ Duos all have the same firmware If Model Numer G950F,G950FD, G955F, G955FD (if the Multi-CSC matches you can flash ORIGINAL Software e.a. from here without problems... Hope it is clear now.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] HansMampf:
I have a CSC not mentioned in the OXM Multi-CSC list, what will happen when I try to flash the OXM Multi rom on my device?

AP: G950F XXU 1A QDG CP: G950F XXU 1A QDG CSC: G950F OVF 1A QDG Model: SM-G950F

CSC is OVF/SWC. OVF is Mutli-CSC of Vodafone, where SWC is part of.

Will the device be a XEU/SWC verison after flashing?

Are any settings from SWC still there? Wifi Calling ...? Or will SWC only be a branding name without content than?

Successful flash

Hi, I successfully flashed my S8 that had VDS (Sweden) CSC, I wanted to try it even though wasn't in the OXM Multi-CSC, but had NEE, that is Nordic Countries, and it worked. :)

I even flashed HOME_CSC_OXM so the settings was kept.

My s8 is now XEU/NEE/VDS and LTE is working, I get a notification when rebooting of Carrier settings, and maybe, just maybe the signal strengths is a bit less, could that be true or just paranoia?

Are there ways to include VDS in the next OXM Multi-CSC?

Is there any downsides of running XEU/NEE/VDS?

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950F/XEF/

Am I on the right track?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
Easier then that.

You have to do a factory reset with your SIM card inside the device.

All data will be lost and you will have to make a backup.

But after that you have the full XEF CSC.

Then you will also get the new Update via OTA.

You could also download the firmware from here and flash AP, BL, CP and CSC_OXM files with your SIM inside the phone. This will also change the CSC to XEF and you will get the next OTA just fine. But this also factors resets your device!

At the moment you have the TPU CSC. Last firmware for that is AQDG.

You can also keep that CSC and flash the firmware from here with AP, BL, CP, HOME_CSC_OXM files. Then your data should stay and the device won't be resetted. BUT it is NOT guaranteed that you will get OTA Updates then....

Hope I could help you with this answer...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] or334:

Hello,

Any1 else seen battery drain issues after updating to G950FXXU1AQF7 ? First update was via OTA ( BTU ), I did download another G950FXXU1AQF7 and same thing... battery lasts like 24 hours with 4G always on, before the update the battery lasted 48 hours without any issues ( same usage, like 1.5h/day display on, arround 45mins/day talk time ).

Thanks

Hebrew = Israel = CSC -> ILO

ILO is part of Multi-CSC OXM, BTU is part of Multi-CSC OXM

So: YES!

Haven't done this on the S8. But from experience with other models with ODIN. You can roll back but I'd recommend a full wipe and reset (flash the CSC and not the Home_CSC)

No issues with drain with AQF7.

Still everything ok.

Wipe cache and check the some apps could be the problem.

Guys, I have a question. I got my s8 yesterday and quickly updated the firmware so I don't really know what it exactly looked like before the update. Anyways after the update I noticed that the navigation bar color isn't adaptive with like 99 percent of the apps and it just makes me uncomfortable! Was it always like this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
No, that is since the last Update (AQF7)

Postings about "Battery Drain" are OFF-TOPIC in this thread!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
I don´t think so. Samsung lets you now choose only bright - near white colors.

I think they did that to prevent burn-in of navigation-bar buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] InVaderrr:
Can you explain what that is?

And is there anyway I can make it adaptive again? (Without voiding the warranty)

So, I have a question. My wife and I both bought the G950F version in Norway, and we would like to know if it would be possible to use these phones in Peru.

My wife flew down last week, and she tells me the phone is not accepting the local SIM cards.

Apreciate any input, as I am going down there myself shortly..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] goRt:
Did you insert a local Norway SIM before she left as that is a restriction.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 4rr4k:
Hi goRt, Yes the phone's has been in use in Norway for a couple months. When she arrived in Peru inserting a local sim it did not accept it.

Think this model that we have are only for Europe.

Hopefully there is a way to get around this restriction.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
Normally about 10minutes of voice calling with european SIM is enough.

Could it be that the phone your wife has does have a carrier network lock?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 4rr4k:
It should not have a carrier network lock, however the box has a sticker on it saying "Approved for Nordic operators".
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vladmir:
Mine says European SIM card only and it's unlocked for all carriers.

If I want to use south America sin card I have remove the region lock.

But I don't know if it's possible to unlock only with imei or I have to have rooted the phone.

Hello to all...

I have read the first pages of the thread but I am very confused. I bought an S8 with OMN/VGR/OMN in settings (I live in Greece and the phone was probably for Vodafone Italy, from what I understood). When I set *#1234# I get OVF csc.

Can someone tell me WHAT to do to debrand my phone? I am sorry but though I have a lot of experience with mobile phones and android in general, but Samsung has always confused me.

Thank you guys all and sorry for the trouble...!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
Everything is in post 1+2

You can skip "secure startup"

Keep in mind that your phone will be resetted to factory settings and all data on it will be lost!

Flash with AP, BL, CP and CSC_OXM.

For debranding you can't use the HOME_CSC_OXM!

Thats it

Ok sorry for all the questions but I'm pretty new to this and I've just realised that someone must have rooted my phone as my knox has been tripped and stock firmware has been flashed. (I know it says no root questions but I'm using It for context) My phone now has no csc code? As ZKA isn't a region? But it's unlocked and I'm using it in Ireland. Could someone please advise? Can I just go ahead with the multi-csc? Apologies again for the noob questions

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
It does not look like Stock Firmware without Root. as the symbols on top right are not the original ones...

If you are 100% sure that your phone is original from Samsung and not a fake one I would advise you to make a Backup and flash the phone with AP, BL, CP, and CSC_OXM files from here. This will wipe your phone and install Stock ROM without ROOT or any else modification.

Knox will still be 1.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bxperiaz3:
Oh no, ignore the icons. I have substratum installed and all my icons and apps themed including the status bar. It's definitely an original samsung s8 alright so I guess i'll have to flash it back to factory stock. Yeah knox 0-1 is tripped,pretty disappointed.

Ok,last question, if I download and flash the above files with Odin, my phone will still be unlocked and usable in Ireland? Thanks for all the help.
