[GUIDE]: How to flash CRB7 using Odin - S8+

[William Haven]

Just updated to CRB7, super fast and easy. Only one question, both the baseband and firmware are supposed to still be CRAP?

Are you sure, CRB7 can be flashed with i.e. the OFFICIAL Odin v3.12.3 or v3.12.7?

Why is in OP stated, that you'll have to use Prince Comsy's Odin?

Initially when this guide was created, me and the guys who made it thought that the modified files uncompressed from their original .lz4 extensions wouldn't get flashed with normal Odin.
However, we later discovered that it flashes just fine.

So you can flash CRB7 (provided that it's uncompressed) through any Odin version including and newer than 3.12.3. Prince Comsy's build isn't required as proven by many users in this thread.

Yes. Changes were only made to Android system, hence only the build number changed to CRB7.

CSC and baseband remain CRAP as no changes were made.

Secure check failed

The modified (non-MD5) files fail for me with SECURE CHECK FAILED.
And the MD5 one's don't work because ODIN can't decrypt the lz4 files?
I'm stuck with a brick at the moment due to my confusion, does anyone know a way out?

Download the files from the OP, flash in Odin 3.12.10 and it should work just fine.

And yes, right now, Odin can't wrap it's head around .lz4 so it gets stuck at 'SET PARTITION' when you try flashing.

Geez thanks Murtuza, I thought I had done that, but I went back to do it again... and realised I have an S8!!! not an S8+.... oh man... now following your other steps with 7zip Standard from the SM-G950F stock ROM

Just know that whenever you're flashing an Odin ROM, you don't need to be on a specific android version or build to flash it.
You could be on any Nougat build and flash up directly to CRB7. The 3 mirror links are Odin ready. They require no modification and can be flashed through Odin normally.
You can be on any build or Android 7.0 and flash directly to CRB7.

So whatever I download (of the 3 links on First page) is Odin ready? Right?

You'll get OTAs, but for UK unlocked and not for O2U.

Odin 3.13.1

New Odin available:

Hey, we've got new Odin (3.13.1)!
Now it can flash compressed binaries in newer FWs.

1. Do you read previous posts? (There's an OFFICIAL ODIN now!)
2. If your device is NOT OXM, it'll be wiped

I have a Brazilian ZTO phone. As far as I know, ZTO is included in OXM. Can I flash it without losing data?
