Still nothing for the UK and Frija cant find firmware for my OXM model . Any suggestions/help ?

You can download DBT and flash via Odin. After flashing, OXM will remain.

Just flashed my SM-G998B with this file HOME_CSC_OMC_OXM_G998BOXM3AUF6_CL21757183_QB40802378_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar but its still saying its on the may secuity update even though odin says everything passed?

You need all 4 files. AP CP BL AND CSC but use home CSC to keep data.

Got it was having a senior moment as its a while since ive had a sammy or flashed with odin

So load up all the files but just have the tick next to home csc? or load up all 4 files but use home csc and not the other csc to keep data? Having a senior moment as its a while since ive had a sammy or flashed with odin

Load the "home_csc" file to csc section. Ignore tge "csc" file as it wipe your data if you use it

July update may fix it

Hi, probably a dumb question but if my phone is BTU can I still update to the DBT firmware using Odin?

Any OXM one will work for you as long as you flash the AP+BL+CP+HOME_CSC and not the CSC. I usually download THL.

It's not really "pointless", some people don't really care about updates and happy to wait.

In some cases, it works in their favour to wait. e.g. when there's a bug in an earlier build and a new version is pushed, later release countries (like Australia) will skip all the buggy versions and only push the "good" one. Downside is it's waaaay later.

Can you help me what firmware i can choose? I've G998B Australia.

I don't want to frighten you but I think it needs to be said; If you're going to regret losing n dollars if you brick your phone, then wait for the OTA updates. It rarely happens but it's always a possibility when flashing manually.

That said; I'm in AUS (VAU, XSA) and having been flashing Samsung phones since the S3 (and flashed Nokia's, Motorola's, iPhones before them) and as long as you follow the numerous tutorials available to you on the interweb, you should be fine.

I've been using DBT, BTU, XSG (among others) on the S21U and haven't encountered any issues.

I like being on the cutting edge.

Been doing it since the S1, I've only come close to bricking once, when the battery fell out of the phone mid-flash. Even then I managed to get it back, but very tense couple of hours searching for a fix.

Definitely not for everyone, but it's safe enough for most moderately tech people

Edit: I should add I'm only talking about flashing stock firmware. Unlocking bootloader and custom ROMs is definitely something else all together

I've had similar with a moto L7 back in my school days! I ended up frying the flash ic (that's what I was told by the service centre). Luckily the service centre couldn't figure it out how it happened and got the whole phone replaced.

Hi trying to flash AUF6 on my G998B but it keeps failing after hanging at stage shown in pic. Used Frija to D/L.
Odin V3.14
Have tried different usb ports but always seems to fail at same stage. Any ideas?

Turns out i had 2 faulty cables even though they worked fine for charging and data transfer, 3rd one which was brand new worked 1st attempt!

Were you referring to my post?

 

[jigna]

different usb ports

Different in cables as well? Sure you downloaded the right firmware?
