[ODIN] Stock Nougat Firmware [SM-G935T] S7 Edge to use it on 935v - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis

Here is the link to the tmobile original thread
[ODIN] Stock Nougat Firmware [SM-G935T] S7 Edge
Instuctions provided by jrkruse (original post)
1. You need to be on Verizon Beta Nougat 2
2. In developer options turn on OEM unlock
3. Reboot to download mode
4. Load the files you downloaded in the corresponding slots in odin BL,AP CP, CSC the files are labeled this way
you dont use the G935TUVU4BQB1_Boot_Recovery_Image.tar.md5 until later
5. Install with odin the phone will reboot to recovery to finish the csc install
6. If the csc install in recovery fails reboot to bootloader in stock recovery
7. In odin reflash the CSC file in the CSC slot in odin. The phone will reboot to recovery again and install the csc files
8. Once the phone is done installing and wiping in recovery try and catch the phone as it reboots and reboot back to
download mode (PWR+Home+Vol Down )
9. Use odin Install G935TUVU4BQB1_Boot_Recovery_Image.tar.md5 in the AP slot
10. Let phone reboot and go through setup
11. During Setup you may have trouble typing info in the setup boxes the keyboard has some bugs in setup. I recommend skipping
adding any accounts and do it after your through setup. Or use the alternative method to find your google account
12. Once through setup download 4G LTE Switch and use to Change Network to LTE/CDMA auto (PRL)
13. I recommend downloading Package Disabler Pro (It Works now) and disable all Tmobile Apps
I found samsung pay wasnt working I found that the tmb bootloaders and persist.img needed to also be flashed I made a new odin flashable package and install instructions. All seems to work now except of course volte and wifi calling.
Explanation why you need to be on nougat beta 2
Download:
TMOBILE_NOUGAT_VZW.ZIP
ODIN v3.12.3.zip
Possible Issues and solutions :
Q: after flashing the bootloaders and persist.img, it broke all data and calls and texts again.
A: they need to be all flashed at same time. Maybe Wipe data and it might work
Q: The Google "email or phone" text input box still only accepts one letter and any extra letters overwrite the previous letter typed.
A: The samsung keyboard will work fine if you just goto settings on the keyboard to language and types and change to US english.
Q: So the question is..... this worth flashing or wait for vzw?
A: Other than no volte this definitely the best running Rom so far. It is much better than beta
Q: 13. I recommend downloading Package Disabler Pro (It Works now) and disable all Tmobile Apps
Care to share your list?
A: List of Tmo apps to disable
Q: Except MMS isn't working, for me anyways. VoLTE isn`t working.
A: I got volte working and video calling maybe this will help mms for you
Download App shortcut maker from playstore
Select all activities find IMS Settings and create shortcut
Open the ims settings from the created shortcut
Choose Ims service switch
Click on MMTEL switch
Click on RCS switch
Under MMTEL section I enabled all the options
Q: Cant get this thing to flash CSC...just keep getting the dm-verity error 0x02.
A: 1:Flash all 4 files in zip.
2:let reboot and see if you get dm verity error.
3:if you get the error than reboot to bootloader and reflash all 4 again.
4:after it reboots again it will say error.
5:reboot to bootloader and flash the csc again.
Q: in 4g lte switch, i dont see the option for lte/cdma auto. could this stuff be because csc didnt flash correctly?
A: if you have the verizon data icons you know the 4g lte then it flashed correctly. If you see data icons that ate not verizon then it didnt flash correctly.
When every one is starting over are you flashing a pit file when going pack to ph1. If not you need too.
P.S. All credits goes to jrkruze. :good:

You mentioned to install Nougat beta first before installing t mobile firmware. Is that necessary? Also, any link for Verizon apn?

Look at you apn settings and just copy it. I didn't mention about to install nougat beta, I mentioned that it was installed successfully on nougat beta and that you must be on latest bootloader.

Okay so I have T-Mobile Nougat installed on my device, and I've changed my VPN over to VZWINTERNET, and I can't seem to get anything working (calls or data).
I'll continue to toy around with things though.

The T-Mo one you posted. Odin with ap,bl,cp and csc selected.

After toying with tons of things on the Tmo firmware, I tried booting into Odin, and flashing the Verizon pi3 CSC. That gave me a bootloop. I then tried reflashing the entire Tmo Nougat with Odin, but replacing the CSC again with Verizons, same bootloop. So now my phone is being flashed back to the trusty U MM.
I can only assume now that running the Tmo firmware on VZW will require root to make CSC edits. But Verizon will release our own Nougat before we get root.
Now I guess it's just a race between Verizon releasing 7.0, and the G935U getting it.
$50 on Verizon.
Edit: After flashing the G935U firmware again, after the first boot I was greeted with a message saying "your device must update to use new features from your SIM card." And I booted to a weird all blue screen with a big SIM card on it. I've never seen anything like that. I'm not sure if the Tmo firmware messed with stuff, so I'm going to fully flash the G935V firmware, THEN reflash the G935U firmware, just in case the G935T firmware messed something up.

they also did something to disable all package disabler apps even if you go back to MM they dont work. They screwed us goood on this

so @spiderkr were you able to get it working or just going off of other reports?

Beta 2 Verizon Nougat

Unable to select network
Under "Network Operators" I selected Verizon Wireless, waited 5 minutes, and now got Unable to select network. Then, maybe a minute or so later, it says "Unable to connect. Try again later." Is there a way around this?

I noticed this too, thought I was going crazy lol. That was the only think keeping me from rooting, and considering how horrible root is on this phone, I'm going to Verizon tomorrow to get a Pixel.

After Nov 1 Samsung security update lost Total Wireless US data connect

G930U phone. Nov 1 Android update from Samsung, installed as normal. After reboot got the typical hung phone problem with switching SIMs. So rebooted in menu mode and normal boot, no resets, which fixes that first issue. But now no data connection on Verizon network with Total Wireless. TW tech support is useless. Anyone else?
Could be that the update broke your CSC somehow, which is where all the carrier network settings come from.
Try going to updato.com, finding the right firmware for your phone, and flashing just home_csc via Odin, there is a flash guide on the site. If TW has their own firmware variant, use their CSC.

Thanks for the response. Always appreciate the input. I should have mentioned I'm on pure stock, not rooted, so re-install firmware would be a biggy for me.
Turns out after over an hour on chat and phone with TW and Samsung the fix was to do turn off mobile data, "Reset Network Settings", then "Search Networks", reboot and turn on mobile data. LTE popped up on the status bar and there's joy again.
Hope I remember this after the next update from Sammy.
No worries glad it's sorted.
For future reference in case you run into a pickle, flashing via Odin doesn't require root or trip Knox, and won't break warranty. It can be used for 100% stock flashing in the event you have issues, or want to upgrade/downgrade.
Flashing home_csv specifically also doesn't wipe your phone.

That's very good to know. I've done no flashing of roms but what you just described could turn me into a "flasher", uh, so to speak...
Thanks.
Update: Not fixed. Now I can either use calling or data, not both. Samsung said the update reverts APNs back to default. Apparently that removed the Total Wireless APN, but there's no way to manually enter or edit their APN. Auto select network doesn't solve it. Still looking for an answer.

[FIRMWARE] G950U1UEU3CRD4 + Modded Odin

NOTE: This is BOOTLOADER 3 so once updated, there's no going back to prior firmware.
This is for the S8, not the S8+
Not a zip file but folder includes all the files you need. BL, AP, CP and Non-Home CSC so this will be a complete wipe.

No volte with this build.
Edit 5/29/2018 Thanks to t12icky0 for this idea, VOLTE and Voicemail works now using a stock AT&T USERDATA from the new Oreo build.

Use Odin to flash USERDATA from his thread here.

If Odin gives you a FAIL! [auth] message, restart the phone and use the USERDATA .md5 file from this build.

Nope. You want that along with WiFi calling, run a carrier branded build.
No worries, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. A non branded rom is just what I'm looking for! Thanks!
No voicemail. Visual voicemail does not work and I cannot dial voicemail manually.

Open phone app, press and hold 1, it'll call it.
I've never seen VVM on a U1 firmware. I think there was a Samsung vvm app floating around somewhere. That's usually carrier based because each carrier's access # is different.
Normal voicemail option gives me nothing as well, gives me information that ATT needs more information and to dial the mailbox number.
Tried to reflash and did it again, called ATT for a refresh on my line and VM works no problem now. Visual Voicemail still nothing, but manual voicemail is no problem.
i have volte on this build running the att user data. i will be updating my thread in a few hours with this. all you need to do is get the user data file for the carrier and flash that after you flash the firmware. then youll have volte working. i also have visial voicemail working also.

I just updated my thread with the crd4 firmware. I also just reflashed my phone again using that process and everything went through for me. I've never had that issue so I'm not sure what that is. I'll check into for you though
Looks like that's from having an oldest BL on a newer Rom. Weird that it works for me though.
This is what I have in my software area
I can also confirm and show I have volte working on crd4

Glad you got it working either way. Now only too figure out Wi-Fi calling..haha.
Wifi calling I'm not too worried about, everytime I've tried to use it on my phone before no matter what wifi I was on I would always have some sort of issue..
Odd thing is, every now and then I'll get a notification to setup Wifi Calling, but when I click it nothing happens.

I disabled that notification because it did nothing for me either. The option is greyed out on my phone. Even enabling it with a tasker doesn't allow it to work. Might be something simple but I'm just tho stupid to figure it out..haha.
I'm on the CRE2 firmware now though and it still does the same thing.
so if i have this corrdct is this an unbranded ROM for the ATT S8? tats flashable by odin? I have a G950Uim on build CRH1

Switch from SM-G930U Nougat to SM-G930T Oreo (T-Mobile) possible?

Has anyone successfully (or have any info regarding) converted from a SM-G930U (7.0) to a SM-G930T (8.0)?
I have a completely stock, working S7 SM-G930U (that I previously converted from SM-G930V), updated to the latest Unlocked 7.0 version. I was eager to get Oreo, but didn't want to wait for 930U firmware so decided to just switch to the T-mobile version because I'm on a T-mobile MVNO. However, when I tried just flashing the G930T files with Odin it fails right after the "emmc_appsboot.mbn.lz4" step (whatever that is). This made the phone unbootable and would just boot loop.
I was able to successfully recover the phone by re-flashing the G930U files again after downloading from Updato. So the phone is working again, but I'm right back where I started.
So, my question is: Is there something different that I should be doing, or some other secret to go from U -> T, with the intent of getting Oreo? Would it work if I flashed the 7.0 version of 930T, then taken the OTA update?
Edit: As indicated in the responses below, the solution is the latest Odin version (3.13.1), and I successfully converted. Good luck!

You need to update your Odin. Oreo ROMs use a new compression format that your old Odin can't handle.

Update to what? I was using 3.12.7.
Edit: OK, looks like I found it. 3.13.1 is for Oreo, etc. Thanks for the heads-up.
Hi. I have the same Verizon s7 and have also got a 930u rom on it but I am desperate for Oreo. Have you managed to successfully flash the 930t oreo rom? And if so where did you download it from?

Yes, I was successful. You can get the firmware from Updato here: https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-G930T&exact=1&r=&v=Oreo(Android+8.0.0)&rpp=15
But ignore their update instructions, as they are outdated and meant for Nougat and below. You need Odin 3.13.1, from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/guide-flash-oreo-g955fxxu1crb7-using-t3755789.
If you try with an older Odin version it will soft-brick your device (as I found). Otherwise flashing instructions are simple and the same as when you switched to 930U.
Great thanks. I will try it!
I can't get it to start. I've loaded up the firmware into odin, connected the phone in download mode and it won't start flashing. What could I be doing wrong and is it worth doing anyway?

I can't tell you if it's worth it (I think it is). But you also need the Samsung USB drivers installed on your PC, and you need USB debugging turned on, etc. Make sure you have a working connection before flashing.
It worked. Thanks!
Does it has the whole bloatware thing???
I'm still gonna flash it, but I wanna know, cuz I'm not in my house right now, and also is it laggy???

Define "bloatware thing". There's like half a dozen T-mobile apps, plus a small handful of other "pre-installed" things like Whatsapp, etc. Virtually all of them can be disabled. The only one I've found that can't is the official T-mobile account app. But I just cleared the apps data, and never use it. I'm not logged in or anything, so it sits there idle.
Regarding "laggy", I can't really say. It works as well as Nougat did. And I think I can say the battery life is definitively better.

U firmware is just firmware without carrier bloat. You can flash any carrier on an unlocked phone. I provided the link to my thread with the official TMobile Oreo stock files just get Odin. https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm.../sm-g930t-official-stock-oreo-update-t3810449
hello. I had flashed my smg930a with smg930U firmware. after that everytime I restarted my mobile, it showed error " no network connection " sometimes it picked up network after a restart and sometimes it picked up network after weeks. Tried flashing smg930a firmware again but the error remains same. Now i flashed it with smg930t firmware hoping the error will end but it shows "searching" and I've no network connection.
any help will be great.
Hi, there's bloatware and it's mildly annoying as is the t-mobile splash screen and sound effect. I'll switch bach to 930u when Oreo is available. You'll also have no data toggle swith in the shortcuts when you pull the screen down. However, I added mine using adb. You can also uninstall programs uing adb but I haven't. If anyone has the adb script for removing t-mobile apps I'd be greatful if they'd post it.

Call your network provider or carrier and see if they can change the settings or to make sure your data settings are set up right. Things like apn settings, network, etc.

What network SIM are you using? You kind of need to match the firmware with the carrier you are using, as it enable certain radios. That being said, the 930U should work universally. If it doesn't, then you probably didn't update or use the right APN settings to enable LTE. You'll have to do some online searching to look for the appropriate APN settings for your carrier, especially if you are using a firmware version that doesn't match your carrier.

S7 International Oreo CSC for T-Mobile

I've been searching for days now, yet can't find what I'm looking for. I have the S7 Edge International vatient SM-G935F and have recently upgraded it to Oreo on the Superman Rom. I'm loving my phone again, yet I have yet to find a solution to enable WIFi calling and VOLTE for the S7 International on TMB. Can anyone assist? I'm sure there are a ton of other folks in my situation, yet everything I've found only works on Nougat or is only for newer model phones.
I'd greatly appreciate any guidance to get this final piece of the puzzle solved.
Thanks in advance!
Flash Home_CSC for your carrier over top of the ROM, CSC is what controls your carrier specific features like VoWiFi and VoLTE
Edit: Although since you're using T-Mobile, isn't that US based? Make sure you only flash the firmware appropriate to your device. US model S7's use a different SoC so you can't flash it over an international phone
It's the international version that I'm using on a US carrier. There is no firmware from the carrier directly due to the difference in SoC on the phones that were sold in the US.
This being said I was able to use the CSC selection tool with Nougat, yet the tool hasn't been updated for the S7 running Oreo.
My hope is someone has created a compatible tool or flashable fix. I've found several for the s8, yet nothing for my S7.
You could do a full TWRP backup, try the Nougat CSC tool or the S8 one and see how it runs, and if any issues you can restore the backup or dirty flash the ROM
You can try this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69864872&postcount=5484
using this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-30-t3392957
which is a recommended step when doing this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/rom-s7-rom-v1-0-t3356197
So, it might just work for you.
Edited after re-reading your initial post:
Also, I've not done this yet, but I am possibly about to install the Superman Oreo ROM too (I have the sm-g930f), and you mentioned you find only tools for Nougat. The second link I provided is the 2.5.0 CSC selection tool for MM or Nougat, and no version listed for Oreo, yet that CSC selection 2.5.0 version is linked to from the Superman Oreo developer in one of the steps, for flashing CSC after flashing the ROM......
So, my question to you is: have you tried that CSC selection tool for Nougat already just after flashing Superman Oreo, and it doesn't work? One of my main reasons for going with the Superman ROM is to have the proper CSC installed for my international (exynos) variant on US T-Mobile, and I'm not even gonna start if the CSC won't install.
Thx!
Yes, I've tried the Nougat 2.5.0 version as well as the s8 version, neither of which seem to work for my phone on Oreo.

Tried both of the tools already (csc select 2.5.0 for Nougat and the Oreo version for the s8). S8 version says, nope, this is an S7 and won't install, the S7 version installs yet ends up in a boot loop. So, no dice as of yet.
I've asked for info from the dev on his forums with no response as of yet. Crossing my finger that he releases a new version or someone else can work some magic.

I just installed Superman Oreo last night then installed csc from the Nougat 2.5.0 csc selection tool immediately afterward. I got it all working, including volte. What boot loop issue did you have? How far did it boot and what did you see before the reboot?

After android booted the system said it was rebooting to complete the configuration for new SIM functionality. It then rebooted itself to TWRP. From TWRP I selected boot system and then it would start the same process over. I had no control while the message displayed. I also noted random crashes at the same time while Android was booted.
I cleared cache and tried again with no change. Really happy you got it working, can you detail your progress?
Thanks!

Ya, that's the same issue I had.
I just typed it up in another response on the Superman Rom for g930f thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77640954&postcount=13063
basically, when at the point you were at, you could pull the sim card (you won't get the error when you have no sim in the device) and keep on going with the setup, until you have the device rooted (recommend magisk) and then connect to your device and disable the package that's giving you a problem, using the adb shell and "su; pm disable com.sec.android.AutoPreconfig"
I was able to get the phone to stop rebooting with the sim installed by disabling the preconfig service, yet I'm still left with weirdness. I am getting two crashes that appear to be associated with Samsung Messages (SMS program). Copy code and messages are continually crashing.
Also, I am able to see the wifi calling in the pulldown, yet it doesn't appear in the actual configuration menu. Things are still very wonky with the Nougat CSC.
Any ideas?
I was able to get past the sim card issue, yet then experienced several FCs from "Messages", "Floating text" and "Copy text".
I tried clearing cache, a dirty install of Superman, clearing messages data, no dice, same errors. Also, as mentioned the wifi calling still doesn't show up in the other network settings, although volte does show up and the icon for wifi calling shows in the pulldown config, yet I can't open details.
Note, I also saw a note from the developer of CSC Selection that said nougat CSCs had the potential to causes FCs, not sure where I saw it, yet probably on these forums or on his website.
I haven't tried a clean install yet, but that's my last option as it entails a day of work.
Still hoping someone has the answers.

Not really, except that my approach, when encountering issues like this, is often to start at the beginning and fully work through it again. When I had this issue, I was not satisfied to have let the system boot multiple times, so I actually shut down, uninstalled the sim, reformatted /data, fully wiped, installed SuperStock kernel with the ROM, did not ever let it install bootloader and modem (stayed with what samsung pushed with the initial Oreo update, ERG2), i DID let the aroma installer install the default btu csc, then when rom install completed, I installed the tzo csc, booted once to the spanish "Hola" screen, immediately rebooted to recovery, installed tmb csc, rebooted again, did the initial android wifi and google setup, rebooted, installed magisk, rebooted and adb shell disable that package, shut down, install sim, reboot and went to steps 7,8,9 from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69864872&postcount=5484 I honestly have NO IDEA why that link had me install the brazilian csc right after rom install, boot then install the tmobile US csc... that seems weird, but I did it, and it worked (?) At any rate, since I had fought with it for a few hours prior to that, I kinda knew how I should properly sequence the setup for best chance at success, starting from the beginning. I have a g930f.... is yours a g935f? not sure that would make a difference, but if you have the same hardware, then you must be able to reproduce the successful results.
I should also add that wifi calling is not something that I've actually done... I haven't needed it yet. But I do have the selection in Connections > Mobile Networks > VoLTE calls, and I use LTE Discovery app to show me that my phone connects to LTE band 12 now. I also now have a working "Wi-Fi Calling" toggle in my toggles pulldown menu, and while it is on, I made a phone call while connected to my home wifi. I haven't yet figured out how to verify it's working. I suppose if I really want to test this, I could tin-foil the house so I can't get cell signal, then see if I can make a phone call while I'm on wifi!

What kernel did you install?
Yeah, I dug a little deeper, and I may not have wifi calling working, as it is not something that shows up in Settings, and if there is a toggle, I should be able to find it in settings. .... same as you, I have the wifi calling toggle, and VoLTE in settings, but not wifi calling in settings. weird that my toggle doesn't seem to have an issue turning on and off... I'll need to figure out how to test this.
No force closing though. It all seems quite stable, actually. But, yeah, it takes forever to setup all the apps..... about 50 of em!
Good luck!
Thanks for your diligence, I'll continue to hack away at it as well and perhaps we can put this to rest together. I did find one other CSC that does seem to work until it tries to register the WIFI calling. Perhaps this will help us. I'll attach it in the next message. (Need to post it from my phone).
Here's the TMO version that I was able to install without issues. I think it's Europian, yet it does show VoLTE and WIFI calling enabled. The issue is when it tries to register on the TMB servers (probably pointing to Germany). My hope with posting this is that someone with more skill than I can assist with the setting(s) that need to be changed to have it register on the TMB servers.

I read this morning, the suggestions from the selection tool thread, to install the tekhd csc from here that's for the S8, so I wouldn't take the chance, but since you did, kudos!
I downloaded and opened the package you linked, and I'm looking at the xml to see if there is a european server.... and looking also at the tmb csc from tkkg's package in source here: https://github.com/GrifoDev/CSC/blob/Nougat/aroma/csc/XAA/system/csc/TMB/system/csc/customer.xml
In that customer.xml file there is the closest thing I found to a tmobile url with respect to wifi, which is "wlan.mnc260.mcc310.3gppnetwork.org" and that url is the same url found in tekhd tmb crc
btw, in your csc package there is others.xml, and in there is: "<CscFeature_Setting_SupportWifiCall>TRUE</CscFeature_Setting_SupportWifiCall>"
I am very tempted to add that line in the tmb csc inside Tkkg's 2.5.0 selection tool, and flash it to my phone to see if that exposes the wifi call setting with my setup..... My pessimism tells me that things are never that easy!
Also, Tkkg announced this morning in one of his SupermanRom threads that he will be updating the csc selection tool for Oreo soon.... keeping fingers crossed that will be sooner rather than later.
Edited:
The csc you linked to is T-Mobile US.... check out the customers.xml file <CustomerData> <GeneralInfo> <Country> USA
The csc you linked to is T-Mobile US.... check out the customers.xml file <CustomerData> <GeneralInfo> <Country> USA[/QUOTE]
So.. it seems the one I uploaded is for the s8 as well. It does seem to work until wifi calling enabled, then it fails to register.

Have you had any luck? I've been able to recreate everything so far in this thread and taking some advice from this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-30-t3392957. WiFi calling is still a no go for TMB.
Nope, nothing as of yet. ?
Tkkg locked that thread as soon as he posted the updated CSCs for Oreo. The tmb csc in that update doesn't work for me at all. Phone just crashes. Nothing tested and no way to discuss what does and doesn't work. 3.0.0 csc tool can not be taken seriously, unfortunately.

[GUIDE][SAMSUNG] Enable Built-In Call Recording in any country [No ROOT][No Bootloader Unlock]

Let's Get Started by saying: I'm not resoponsible for brick, loss or any damage to your phone. So backup!
Pre Requirements:
a. A Windows PC with internet connection.
b. Odin Patched Here
c. HOME CSC file of Indian / Thailand / Vietnam Region. You can get firmware of your phone from samfw.com or any other website.
Make sure that the bootloader version on your phone and the one you download are same. For example, A515FXXU4CTJ1 has bootloader version 4 (that's fifth digit from the right). So you have to download a firmware which has same bootloader version.
P.S. We don't need full firmware, Only the file name beginning by "HOME_CSC" is needed.
Working:
1. Eject the SIM Card(s)
2. Go to Settings -> Apps -> Calendar -> Storage -> Clear Data.
3. Put your phone into download mode.
4. Run the Odin....exe (downloaded in step b) as administrator
5. Click CSC and select the HOME_CSC file obtained from step c in Pre-Req.
6. Click "Start".
7. When phone reboots, Repeat step 2.
All done. You can insert SIM Card(s) and use Call Recording.
Notes:
You'll be ondifferent region's CSC after this.
Phone will not factory reset and you won't lose any data after this.
You might not be able to get system updates after this. In order to get them you'd have to flash your region's CSC, then update, then flash custom CSC again.
Tested working on:
Samsung A51 (Android 10)
Samsung A50 (Android 10)
Samsung M21 (Android 11)
You tell

Hi I tried your message but I got an error on my phone along the lines of : secure check fail cache (1). I tried with the odin version you linked and I was thinking about trying a version v3.14 patched that I found here on XDA. Any ideas?
My phone is fine it does seem to restart to a thing with the cyan download background saying "An error has occured..." but I can restart and then hit volume key saying 'reset phone' which just boots the phone normally.

This happens when you use a non Patched odin. Make sure you're using the one from link in OP. BTW, which phone is it?

It's G991U1, with 1ATLI so I downloaded 1AUB8 (THL) to try to flash the HOME_CSC, I'm 100% sure I tried with the odin you linked (also your one has same CRC SHA-1 as the the one linked in the XDA thread). Maybe I need to try with the updated patcheD odin (v3.14.1_3B) I didn't do that yet.

I believe everything's right then. Can't identify the issue though.
I guess, trying updated version might help.
Good luck!
If problem persists after trying updated version. Please share screen when phone is in download mode.
I had kept this thread in my bookmarks since I was buying the A52 4G on Amazon.ca and absolutely wanted Call Recordings (officially we shouldn't be able to get the A52 4G in Canada, only the 5G version is officially here, so it's an import).
But as luck would have it, it's the SM-A525M and already has Call Recording enabled in it. So that saves me some trouble. But thanks for this guide! I may not have needed it in the end, but would've totally relied on it otherwise.
If I'm understanding this right, my firmware is A525MUBS1AUD1. Brazil's ? It's Android so it has every languages built-in regardless and there's no carrier specific apps in it either, so that's great.
tried on A52 4G all flashed fine
but the csc did not changed and no call recorder

Well, That's unlucky then; it's unavailable on certain devices.
