installing it with odin is very simple: download the firmware from sammobile or any other site and decompose the archive; install the drivers but I think you already have them is match every file extracted to odin. click start with the mobile connected to the PC in download mode and wait. you will continue to receive the ota.
sorry for my english but im italian.

Thanks all i know how to use odin its simple
But i heard that if i install a firmware with a different csc i wont receive updates via ota
So i want to know if its true or no

And i want to know if there is any way to keep my files on the mobile

I advise you to use the csc format so that you are sure to receive updates and prevent from any error.

Its from the samfirm tool, type your model and region use BTU, then make sure auto is checked. Use ODIN to flash the files (will wipe data as you need to flash the CSC_OXM)

Home CSC will keep whatever your current one is and the beta won't be available.
I flashed the "CSC_OXM" file, IT WILL WIPE YOUR DATA! so make sure you backup anything you wish to keep!

China have EMUI 10 few month ago.
i tried various vpn (both on phone and PC with hisuite) from Canada and Asia, but that did not do the trick
still on 9.1 in France for the moment
Seems like CUST and PRELOAD files for clt-l29c636 are up on firmware finder.
Since I'm rooted and banned for OTA update I'm going to update manually with HisuiteProxy method.
This will probably relock my bootloader for good, but that's the way it goes, I'm going to sell the phone anyway.
Method seems working, update showed up in Hisuite and I'm downloading now.
It worked! updated to 10.0.161 with no data loss
bootloader was relocked
cheers
Does it pass safetynet?
And which of the 2 variants did you install?

Does anybody get who is from Europe?

I also installed emui 10
I used the French tutorial with hisuite proxy
Europe firmware but with cust and preload from china c00e1536
Can i install just cust and preload c636 instead the chinese one without the whole firmware
I have problem with play protect verification in google play
All apps works very well inclusive banking apps like bt pay in romania
I'm from Romania

All , and when you are going to flash , exclude all and just leave the file you want to flash. I know it doesn't make sense , but if you need to flash it all , you'll have a full firmware.

How long does this usually take? It has been on this screen for 20 minutes with no apparent progress.

It's strange, did you manage to crate the FTF file ??
You just need to select the folder and then flashtool will recognize it's contents, all you need to do is select the model of the phone and give a name to the file and the click on create . There's a tutorial over here on how to create the FTF file.

It's now stuck at the 12.6 OTA as this is the one that checks for the region, I will follow your guide and let you know how it went thank you for everything
It's giving me the error ''the current system is not compatible with this hardware'' then powers off.
I honestly did not expect that there would be one more update and much less expected it to be a new version of Android, I thought I would stay forever with Android 11
I just hope they fixed the issue of notifications not showing up.
Now to wait if they dare to release a new Android update for the Global version.
