No . Initially, I put the PDA file in the desired location
After downloading, the phone did not boot A file has been requested BL After installing the file I got off the phone but without a network
Then I put the CP file & CSC

I think I knew the way to solve But I need to ask, is it possible for this solution to work without breaking the device? The solution is place a PIT file

To change csc to XEF you should to make wipe data in recovery.
After this csc will to be XEF and kies will recognies the firmware.
I can't download the file from FileFractory, it keeps saying no more free slots.
Any other source?
Same here... If some could upload elsewhere or send to sammobile, that would be great.

You can use this app to change your CSC. However, two things.
A. You need to be rooted beyond XXELLA
B. Your selected rom needs to support multi csc
( tried that before but doesn't work as its unrooted and on stock software

It should work, but you need to root if you're on XXELLA or above
Sorry not that much of a techie :silly: what is XXELLA? So it doesn't need to be rooted? Because when i press change CSC it comes up with com.android.preconfig not found on your device and takes me to the dialer with *#272*1759# already punched in?? After ringing that I get Connection problem or invalid MMI code.

Xxella would be a 4.1.2 firmware.
It would look like your stock setup doesn't have a multi CSC setup so I'm not sure if you're able to change to BTU

if I am not wrong you need:
(1) be rooted to change the CSC
(2) after that you can use the tool mentioned before and/or flash a BTU rom
or maybe easier:
just flash the newest 4.3 rom version (you can do this without root as well I think)
Flash the latest 4.3 rom for the UK, using odin and following the guide in sticky thread.
Factory reset from recovery, reboot and csc should match the firmware.

I'm pretty sure this method will default the CSC to "KOR"
You want to flash the ELL4 U.K. firmware from the stock firmware thread. Download the S2/S3 CSC changer app from the play store and set the CSC to BTU.
This will factory reset the device, so make sure you have your important files backed up.
Then proceed to flash MK6 4.3. Now everything will match.

If you flash a untouched 4.3 rom thru odin it does not void the warranty. It will read official in Odin. At least on my phone it did. Like they said earlier they should have a uk version floating around somewhere. Otherwise just leave it alone and wait for the update. I hope that helps

My Sprint phone was rooted and then one day got stuck in a boot loop, but I hate the Sprint bloatware so I downloaded the T-Mobile stock rom and odined it. I left out the home_csc file because I didn't know where to put it and it seems to be working just great.

Overdue update on my S8.

My S8 is with android 8 however the last update was in February, (Security Patch is from February 1st) My build number is with the final (XX1CRAP) until today. Could someone tell me if I should receive the update via Ota? Or would it be better to upgrade for ODIN ... on Sammobiles ?? Thanks if anyone can help me.

My question is that I'm afraid I'll have some trouble updating the odin. I did a while ago an update by odin on a note 3 and went wrong. A triangle appeared on the screen and had to be taken to technical assistance. I have all downloaded files here with the newest odin. but I do not know if I update or not.

if you are already on oreo, you can then use the update.zip files posted here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/discussion-oreo-final-t3746561 and just flash from SD Card using the stock recovery.
You dont need to deal with Odin then. I've done my first flash to OREO (CRAP) via odin with full wipe. Then flashed the incremental updates from SD card and nothing went wrong.
Hope this helps.

In this case, the device remains in factory warranty and my data is deleted ??
Friend worked, downloaded the file and made the update for the SD CARD and soon after already have been arriving 2 new update Ota. Thank you very much.

S8 Active Help (Baseband version is G892AUCS3BRG1)

Hello guys, I have just now heard that At&T is rolling out the Android Pie update to the S8 Active. Unfortunately, I do not have a AT&T SIM card on my device currently. This causes my phone to not get ANY updates. The only update I last got was when I sent my phone to a Samsung Technician after I bricked my phone from failed root attempts. I am currently in Android 8.0.0. Is there any way to flash any Pie firmware to my phone even though it is Bootloader v3? Any help is GREATLY appreciated as I am getting so tired of Oreo. I tried using Smart Switch but it says my phone is in the latest firmware update which is a lie, my security patch level is July 2018...
Edit: I have recently unlocked my phone from AT&T in hopes of getting an update, but I didn't know the firmware would stay. And no, I do not have ANY access to AT&T SIM cards or stores.
Edit 2: Solved! I just used a firmware download I got from this forum because sammobile.com did not have it here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bw-cYNY1KoEH4Pa-a9dJRQJW09r_uw93/view Just flash this firmware to your phone from Odin! This does not risk breaking or voiding your warranty if you still have one! I am enjoying Pie right now! Give thanks to the who supplied me with the firmware link and youdoofus who actually responded to me. I just wanted to be assured that the firmware that is Pie will be good for my device. This is for people who do not have ATT SIM on their phone or cannot receive update. Model number must be from ATT and SM-G892A!

the problem youre going to run into is the availability of firmwares for your phone. sammobile.com/firmwares was a bust, looking elsewhere for ya. But if you have a computer, usb type-c cable Odin and the correct firmware version and are able to get to download mode, then you should be in good shape.
So I have a firmware at hand with my phone model that is pie, if I update it through Odin, will it void my warranty? Or will there be any chance it will brick my phone because I have done this many times. If it wasn't for ATT bootloader v3 I would've not been asking all these questions. I have already used sammobile.

it will not void your warranty. isnt your warranty expired on an S8 anyways? only rooting/unlocking bootloader will void the warranty.

the firmware version in your link is the one in this article which is pie, so yes. As far as Odin goes, i usually default to the newest one if im out downloading one anyways. 3.13.1 is the latest version. https://odindownload.com/SamsungOdin/#.XWFVzOhKjb0

Some tips before flashing? Did you flash every file on the .zip archive? (BL_ , AP_ , CSC and so?)
Factory reset before/after flashing?

Since its just an update, you are able to keep your data if you put HOME_CSC in the bottom box. So, yes use every file if you want to keep your data. If not, put CSC where its supposed to be and thats it. I don't have access to my computer but thats what I did. You don't need factory reset. Just go to any "How to Install Any Firmware Update through Odin" Video on YouTube and you should see a good tutorial. It is just an update. I hope I fixed you problem! Don't be nervous about updating, only be nervous when you flash a ROM on it!

nothing other than having the correct version of Odin for your phone and ADB drivers installed along with the correct firmware files. And yes the Home_CSC is to not factory reset, and the regular CSC is to factory reset it
PIT Error
I tried flashing the files you provided, but it keeps failing on "Get PIT for Mapping". I tried 4 times and every one failed on the same part. I am on the exact same baseband version you were on, the provider is AT&T and the phone is unlocked. I don't get what the problem is...

you need to go into the CSC file and extract the PIT. once extracted, go into the other options in Odin and put the pit in its slot, then reflash with the CSC you got the PIT from in its proper place along with the others.
