First, please excuse my bad english.

Is there a way to update the stock firmware on the Galaxy Note 8 G950F without TWRP loss, root loss and data loss?

With Chainfire's Flashfire app you could at least flash stock firmware without the stick recovery that touched TWRP. The last time I worked with Flashfire was on the Galaxy S6.

My main concern is that even when flashing a new Stock Firmware all data will be preserved.

On the Internet I have read on several pages that you can flashing the Galaxy S7 in Flashfire without problems AP and CP. With CSC one had to extract but probably a cache.zip on the CSC file.

Is this similar to Note 8 and if so, how do you create it? Because when extracting the CSC.tar I get no cache.img but a cache.img.lz4. And this always leads to an abort of the imgextractor (under Windows 10 Pro) with the imgextractor.

Thanks for good ideas.

Lz4 is new compression & is why you need the newest Odin 3.13.1 to flash any FWs that use lz4 compression. You can convert lz4 back to ext4 & img so you can then use it how you need. Look online for programs.
