Solved, I was using Odin 3.12, Flashing now ok using Odin 3.13.1
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] rashisp:
Maybe the file you downloaded is corrupt? If not, try using another USB port or doing a factory reset.

What I did was flash SER 7.0 and download the 8.0 update via system update.

Download phone info from google play and see what CSC does your phone supports. If it does support SER then the answer to you question is yes.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Sotirisdim4:
Incorrect, you can still change MultiCSC and have Knox 0x0, warranty. My phone for example came from Italy (MultiCSC OXA and country CSC ITV), but I live in Greece and my region's MultiCSC is OXX and country CSC is EUR. Perfectly changed to OXX and now have stuff like wifi calling too, while OTAs still work and Knox is 0x0. Now what is true is that when you flash a different MultiCSC from the one your phone has you'll get the default CSC that MultiCSC has rather than your desired CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] mariusmauxy:
My point too, but you said it better:good:
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] raZorXz:
i have this csc codes.there's no original CSC only firmware CSC code is Active. can i flash SER firmware without any problem and have Knox 0x0 & OTA updates ?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] mariusmauxy:
NO, because SER is not in that list , it will trip know, or brick your device.

If i am wrong anyone feel free to correct me.

I repeat do not flash SER.....just have patience...here is an example when you can flash SER...bellow is my device info...with the mention that now i can't see my country's CSC because i am on Russia firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Sotirisdim4:
You missed my point entirely. I said that it is safe to flash a different MultiCSC (Group of CSCs) than the one you have and Knox will still be 0x0 and you will still have warranty. All you have to do is check repartition in Odin due to possible differences in preinstalled software.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] mariusmauxy:
Ok then. But i will not risk such a thing.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] shafez:
It's ok to flash any CSC with this rom without tripping Knox, I Flashed my CSC which is EGY,XSG .. Etc with this rom and Knox still 0x0.

As long as you stay official , Knox will be ok.

Hi! I have the same CSC as you, did you flash to SER 8.0 directly or did you flash SER 7.0 first and then upgrade OTA?

Flash using Odin 3.13.1, Bootloader,modem, system from SER 8.0 and CSC from XSG 7.0.

I'm not sure about warranty, but neither knox will be tripped nor you'll you lose your data if you flash HOME_CSC as csc (but a backup is always recommended).

For a tutorial, just follow the nougat guide (https://xdaforums.com/samsung-a-series-2017/how-to/official-nougat-release-download-guide-t3654413) and make sure you use at least Odin v3.13!

I would like to know if it works in case you buy this, brother and if it really improves the battery life. Ideally, since voltage is same it shouldn't cause any issues.

It might work or it might not. I've seen cases on YouTube with batteries of different capacities inserted in android phone that would work, and they greatly increased the phone's life.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] digiboy1:
Let me know bro, if it works. I'll also order then. Also test on both stock and custom ROMs.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Asiier:
Looking at the Voltages it should work.

Recently OnePlus has patched their bootloader so the phone won't boot If you swap the battery for the one of OP3T (3400 mAh).

I'm not sure what they check for determine whether is the original OP3 battery or the OP3T battery, my guesses are the Voltages or the Raw capacity of the battery.

If they check the Voltages, since the Voltage of the OP3 battery is Nominal 3.80 (V) and Charge 4.35 (V) vs the 3.85 (V) and 4.40 (V) on the OP3T battery, therefore that battery should work. But If they check the capacity of the battery that battery won't work or neither of the battery that are more than 3000 mAh

Let us know If you try it!

[MENTION=5147103]XDRdaniel[/MENTION] Answering your questions, If it works;

Yes, it should charge (as the charger/motherboard/USB Power Delivery is rated for those voltages), It might not show the full capacity but that could be modified (not big deal) but it would charge to the full capacity and Yes it should last longer, assuming that the cell used are from a good quality.

Based on the limited info posted - I/anyone can only guess.

My guess is that phoenix corrupted nothing - just your default boot manager loader was changed to grub [from WBM] which is needed to run POS/Linux - if that's the case just switch back to wbm via bios/uefi.

If however you formatted the windows partition or something... That was user error

If you want to go back from RROS to EMUI, I'd suggest you use Dload method.

You can get the needed files in the following thread:

https://xdaforums.com/honor-9/development/firmware-huawei-honor-9-stf-l09-stock-t3696892

I went through that process without any problems.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] trive253:
Thanks but i need to flash the stock recoveryq (i didn't have the vendor can you link a download of it?) ?
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] _lucx_:
No, you only have to let it install the two files. Stock recovery will be flashed automatically and your bootloader will be locked again. Here's the way I did it:

1. Unpack the rar file downloaded from the link on my previous reply.

2. You'll get a dload folder. Copy the entire folder to the root of your SD card.

3. Power off your phone and boot it into dload (Volume down + Volume up + Power)

4. After it finished installing this first file, interrupt the startup and boot into recovery (hold Volume up + Power until it forcibly reboots).

5. Do a factory reset and wipe cache.

6. Remove the SD card from the phone and do the following steps on your PC (you can let the phone sit in Recovery while doing that):

6a. Go into /dload/ folder of the SD card and remove update.app.

6b. Go into the other folder in /dload/ and move its .app file into /dload/

6c. Rename this .app file into update.app

6d. Eject the SD card from your PC and insert it in your phone again.

7. Hold Volume down and Volume up while tapping Reboot.

8. It should start the second installation in dload mode, let it install, reboot and you're done

EDIT to your edit: The vendor is the second file you're gonna flash with this method.

2nd EDIT: Tried to make it easier to understand

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] DoubleThinker:
I really miss the option to turn off the fast charging (it is present on my Note 4, for example). I don't need the fast charging, because I charge the phone mostly at nights. And I'm almost sure, that the fast charging will degrade the battery more, than the regular charging.

The thing is, the Mate 10 isn't officially available in my country, so I will not be able to change the battery (don't really want to disassemble it myself).

What do you think, will it be preferable to use my Note 4 charger (Mate 10 should use it as a regular 5V/2A charger), or maybe the native Huawei charger may somehow be more friendly? Maybe, any recomendations?

Btw, did batteries get any better in the past 3-4 years? Can I expect the Mate 10's battery to degrade slower, than the Note 4's battery? (it degraded noticably in a year, even without a fast charging)
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] sonydesouza:
You can control battery degradation with accubattery on playstore. Very great app.

Better to charge to 80 % max in order to degrade battery slower.

App gives good advices et a lot of infos.

Moreover, yes, supercharger probably degrade battery a bit faster but I think it's negligible
