[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] hypo59:
Hello guys !

Comfort level of this thread: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆

Below you will find my "All In One" 4CSD4 OXM package, based on the multi CSC A530FXXU4CSD4 stock firmware. In order to live a better PC experience with Odin3, I have repacked the original package. It integrates:

userdata component suppression (third party apps will not be installed during flashing process: see end of post for apps list)

rebuilt AP/BL/CP tar.md5 archives in one single tar.md5 archive

Samsung USB drivers v1.5.65.0 installation file

Odin3 v3.13.1, prepared for avoiding bad usage (.ini file modification)

Home (data keep) & CSC (data wipe) tar.md5 archives

All components are untouched, it is just a reorganisation of them. Moreover, "untouched" also means flashing process will not tamper your knox, so if your knox is 0x0 before flash, it will be knox 0x0 after ;)

Here are the firmware features:

Android version: Pie 9

build date: 2019-04-05

changelist: 15784452

PDA version: A530FXXU4CSD4

modem (CP) version: A530FXXU4CSD4

bootloader (BL) version: A530FXXU4CSD4

CSC version: A530FOXM4CSD4 (available CSC: see end of the post)

fingerprint: samsung / jackpotltexx / jackpotlte: 9 / PPR1.180610.011 / A530FXXU4CSD4: user / release-keys

security patch date: 2019-04-01

kernel version: 4.4.111-15784452

To flash, just use Odin3 within my package (install Samsung USB drivers before if not done yet):

fill AP with AP.BL.CP.[...].tar.md5 archive

fill CSC with Home[...].tar.md5 archive if you want data keep, or with CSC[...].tar.md5 archive if you choose data wipe
