The time it takes for me to upload the files and then then they download, they could have it quicker using SamFirm.

Is samfire connected to samsung servers or sammobile or...? Because the package is available on samfire but not in sammobile website. Is it normal?

The reason that ZIP is smaller, is due to Multi-CSC UWB is MUCH SMALLER than "our" Multi-CSC OXM... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Bcoz you may not living in place where speed and data is issue.

Still many part of globe we have speed of 100 kpbs or less and may takes 8 to 10 hrs to download 3.8GB file. Many users were stuck with bootloader and they needed to download only bootloader which is few KB only. And if include modem hardly 40MB, so difference is 40MB vs 4GB

Hope this make sense why some users request it. Though I don't need as I want full rom and already downloading.

PS : Once Download finish, I will post it in my rom thread post #4 if any users need it.

BRA2

Odd Thing - I just got this update OTA this morning - message came on the notifications - software update available and when it installed I checked and it is the BRA2 update as mentioned in this post - I did buy my phone direct from overseas , I think maybe from Thailand but it was definitely from that area so maybe there is some truth that the phone always remembers it original CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
That is called a product code, stored in EFS folder.

You can check efs/imei/prodcode

File date will be likely same as while you purchased unless one mess with efs backup/restore
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cc154:
Thanks Dr Ketan - have not seen you for a long time like since I had the Note 4

Could that mean my phone may get all updates such as android 8 before Europe models, Samsung normally update local models first don't they?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
It will get update as soon available for your original product code and not according where you are using. Above gets null and void if device is rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cc154:
thanks again nice to know - I have no plans to root the Note 8 at present
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Has nothing to do with remembering the original CSC.

With OXM, your phone automatically switches to the right CSC for your country when you activate it with a SIM card from there.

It's possible that this OTA was released elsewhere or your phone remained on the Thai CSC because it was activated with a Thai SIM card.

No way of knowing unless you post a screenshot of what it says under 'Service Provider information' in about phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
Could you have a look at "Software Info", scroll down -> "Software Serviceprovider"?

What 3 CSC's do you have?

1st CSC -> ACTIVE CSC

2nd CSC -> CSC SIM

3rd CSC -> Product Code

You'll get OTA's if the 1st 2 CSC's are the same, and for THAT CSC you'll get OTA's

Not what [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] suggested in his message, that it'll look to your Product-code...

If, i.e., the CSC's are PHN/PHN/DBT, I'll get PHN-updates when available, NOT DBT if that is earlier available...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mario_1988:

what does that tell you then?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Active CSC is XEU (UK Unlocked), you received the OTA for BRA2 which is the latest build on XEU. You'll only receive OTAs for the XEU CSC.

Your original CSC is BRI, which is from Taiwan. You won't get OTAs for that.

:fingers-crossed: merci

merci beaucoup d'avoir pris cet inconvénient et ce détail

. Je soupçonne qu'ils ont fait quelque chose sur le serveur SamFirm, de sorte que seuls les téléchargements avec une certaine vitesse de téléchargement fonctionnent bien. Depuis il y a 3 jours avec une ligne adsl de 15 Mbits / s décemment travaillé , mais il y a 2 jours c'est impossible.

Merci mon ami ! :) ..... J'espère que ceux de SamFirm supprimer cette restriction

thank you very much for taking this inconvenience and detail helping us

. I suspect they have done something on the SamFirm server, so that only downloads with a certain download speed work well. Since to me 3 days ago with a adsl line of 15 Mbits /s , decently worked , but 2 days ago it is impossible :(

thanks friend ! . I hope that those of SamFirm remove that restriction

OK so this is the last BRA2 XEF stock firmware:

Google drive : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cHFkIfstKAzrjDFmQDi1b1sWoonj880M

As Henklbr said, you can use this package. But take care, in odin at CSC tab, grab the HOME_CSC_OXM_N950FOXM2BRA1_CL12472670_QB16398234_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5. not the other. Like that you will have the new bootloader, firmware etc... but you will keep your original csc wich is DBT.

As said in post 2, the csc oxm erase eveything while the Home csc let you keep in your case your original csc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
What do you mean PDA and bootloader are DBT?

LUX is your active CSC and SIM card CSC whereas DBT is the original CSC, so your phone was either imported from or bought in Germany.

Sent from my SM-G955F
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
LUX/LUX/LUX is NEVER possible, because the last is the Production Code (DBT in your case); you've bought a device for the German Market

DBT/DBT/DBT is possible, when you insert a GERMAN SIM-card, and perform a reset with SIM in your device...

You live in Belgium, so LUX/LUX/DBT is the correct combination for you!(as [MENTION=5063250]murtaza02[/MENTION] already stated)
