INSTRUCTIONS

Back up your important data.
Use the original Samsung USB cable came.
Install Samsung Smart Switch before flashing, it automatically installs the latest Samsung USB drivers.
However, make sure Smart Switch is CLOSED when you are flashing your device with Odin.
Try not to have too many other applications running if you have a PC with low RAM as Odin can consume a lot of memory sometimes, and the last thing you need is for your PC to freeze in the middle of a flash.

There are three two main steps and their respective substeps to download and install the latest firmware.

Download and extract the firmware via the Frija firmware tool.
Install the firmware via Odin, firmware installer.

1. DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE:

2. Choose your Model for respective Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy S10 device:

CSC_OXM (OXM CSC file, will wipe your phone)
HOME_CSC_OXM (OXM CSC file, will NOT wipe your phone)

3. Add each file to its respective field in Odin v3.13.1. Use CSC_OXM if you want to do a clean flash and HOME_CSC OXM if you want to keep your apps and data.

4. Reboot your phone in Download / Odin mode:
-Power off your Galaxy Note 10/Note 10+
-Connect the cable to your PC, but do not plug it into your phone yet
-Power+ Volume Up and now plug the Type C cable into your phone while holding down those buttons
