Odin/Seamless Updates

There are reports that Odin only works if you use the CSC file (which wipes user data). If you try to use HOME_CSC instead, the flash reportedly fails and the phone reportedly soft-bricks until you do it again using the CSC file.

For people here who've reported successfully flashing, did you use HOME_CSC?

That's what I hear also but at this point I'm extremely happy we can still use Odin to flash A/B partitions even if it factory reset. Also did they have to tap the partitions option under option
