Question about flashing oreo update on galaxy a8 SM-A530F

[Aladin62]

Hello,

I heard that there is two versions of the galaxy A8 2018 SM-A530F : the 32 GB version and the 64 version ,
my question is : can we use the same firmware for the two models without having any problem or there is a specified firmware for every one of them ?
and what can cause the brick of the device while flashing it ?

thanks for reading me ^^

All I know is if you flash 64 on 32 it will brick

Firmwares aren't unique for emmc, otherwise you would see that immediately lol. You can go ahead and flash any firmware (that is for your model and that ofc has same or higher bootloader rev number than the one installed in your phone)

The userdata partition is positioned at the end of the table for this very reason; essential system files first, optional user nonsense last if there's space to spare

then why there isn't 2 firmwares only one for both ?

ROM flashed with wrong CSC region

Hi,

I downloaded yesterday from sammobile the latest rom for XEH (Hungary) region. After I have flashed with Odin ,I realized that the region is really SER (Russia). It is sure that I downloaded the file which was marked as XEH. How can this happen and what can I do now? Is there other more reliable source os did I make something wrong?

O.K. it is solved by a factory reset and selecting the other option at sim card select screen.
