I'm also with Three UK. All Samsung phones sold by Three since the s5 are unlocked, you won't lose Volte and WiFi calling flashing the German rom, your CSC will remain the same (XEU/XEU/H3G)

I flashed the official German Rom earlier today through Odin, WiFi calling/Volte and 4g+ all working as it should.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] slinkygb:
Thanks for that. If i put the update.zip on the SD card, how do I start the installation with stock recovery? Will it maintain all personal files and settings?

My latest oreo build is crl5 with 2019 security update. Can I upgrade to pie with this method?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] benjamen50:
If it's not a beta build you can flash.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ...Ali...:
Btw what is the difference between using Odin or update.zip? Odin format phone because it we don't have home csc? But update.zip method through recovery doesn't?

And another question are upcoming official updates come for me when I flash this rom ? Becaouse the last time I flashed through Odin I haven't received update files. And I don't live in Germany btw. I live in iran
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] benjamen50:
update.zip is required for users that are running Pie firmware I think.

Odin is the best and most reliable way. Flashing this firmware through odin means you would have to wait for new german firmware to release. Or you can wait for firmware in your region to release to flash over german firmware.

Few bugs to confirm

I just wanted to confirm few things.

I downloaded and flased the DBT pie via odin. I was in NPL firmware previosly and I did not factory reset/wiped data. My recents gesture is not working when I use fullscreen navigation instead of navigation bar. Home and back are working fine. Also, my recents menu is old style(vertical), However in beta I believe it was Horizontal card style. Is it just me? or someone else having it too?

I downloaded file from: samfrew (G950FXXU4DSBA)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ker21:
Yeah, I used Odin version (s8+)

I flash Home CSC and everything stay intact. Everything work same as on Oreo, just need couple of days for battery to settle down.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adrianoturbo:
use csc home
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pouriya.he:
I used csc home and the update is done W/O losing any data.

I haven't had any bugs or problems either

thank you guys for your help.

P.S. : If your AOD doesn't show up it's probably on touch to wake mode , simply touch the screen once to see the AOD . you can also change this in the settings.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] noiwid:
No, I don't think you'll lose anything !

To ensure you won't loose datas, do a full backup first!

a) Full backup

b) Ensure to have the last Over The Air update you can get first

c) Download files, and flash using the HOME_CSC

d) done ! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pouriya.he:
I have G950FD and I can confirm night mode is black AF! of course there are some gray areas but the main color is pure black. also the overall performance of the device is A+ (way better than Oreo).

I suggest you do a clean flash , wait a while after the first boot for the update to complete and the restart the device a couple of times afterwards + make sure to update all your apps via GalaxyApps and PlayStore.

I got really mad recently when I saw a February security update on my SM-G950F. Does it mean I can't install android Pie (One UI) update on my phone ? I'm thinking like that because I heard that the One UI update comes with February security patch already installed. My CSC is ITV.
