How to flash A520FXXU9CSD2
- A520FXXU9CSD2 has bootloader binary 9. Your device must run binary 9 or lower: it is the 5th character from the end of your current build number.
- CSC: Use CSC for a clean install, to change the region (CSC code), to downgrade or to repair a device that does not boot.
- HOME_CSC: Use HOME_CSC to update the same model and region while keeping your data. Back up anyway: a failed update can still require a reset.
- The Download Mode key combo depends on the model: see all combos.
Beware: Manually flashing firmwares may brick your device. Use it at your own risk and follow our tutorial steps.

Download the package for your region (CSC) and unzip it. In Odin, load each file into the slot with the same name: BL, AP, CP (if the package has one) and CSC, or HOME_CSC to keep your data. Odin checks the built-in checksum of every .tar.md5 file before flashing. The Samsung Galaxy A5(2017) must be on bootloader binary 9 or lower.
