Using this version of Odin

Loading the Rom by selecting AP, then searching for the rom, and selecting it.
When I press "start" I get the message that Odin Downloader has stopped working.

I downloaded this ROM

Not certain how to check that the latest drivers are loaded. apart from going into Windows Device Manager and checking there.

Very odd....do this - see if you can flash a normal rom with all the 4 files. Maybe it's a problem with your Odin and not the files....
 
I was on XEU/XEU/XFV and flashed the XFV firmware using the same Odin.
I am now sitting on XFV/XFV/XFV again, but wanted to change the CSC to XFA in order to use WiFi calling through CellC.
 
Yeah, you can only do that by loading the combination rom unfortunately...

Does the rom even start flashing or just it stop immediately.
 
That looks like a dodgy version of Odin.... get another version from xda...preferably from the same thread where you downloaded the combination
 
That version was downloaded from the SamMobile site.
Why Windows sees it as Odin Downloader I have no idea.

The way i see it,
that you are originally, on CSC XFV/XFV/XFV .
That is a Vodacom, branded device.
(it's not locked, just branded)
Note that your CSC ... /.... /XFV (3rd one) is hardcored, and cannot be changed ( without root).

Also note that wifi calling depends
on the correct Samsung Firmware, you have installed on device , as well as your Service Provider (sim)
If it's enabled by "them" on your sim etc.

Further,
I will give you a example.
I am originally on CSC XFV/XFV/XFV.
When i flashed Samsung Firmware
CSC XFE, (which is unbranded
Samsung, South Africa)
I landed on XFE/XFE/XFV
I had no Samsung Pay.
No option to enable wifi calling
in XFE Firmware.
I could see wifi setting, but not enable it.
Also, wifi calling is enabled on my sim
Further,
I lost my Samsung Pay,
No inbuilt Spam Protection (Hiya) etc.

Note that,
other forum members, with a Mtn /Telkom /Cell C device/handset
could enable above, when flashing CSC XFE and had relevant functions working.!
With my Vodacom XFV , i could not.

Also you must flash 4 of the 5
files with correct Odin version (after extracting your relevant download firmware)
Also place each one in their correct
slots in Odin.
Otherwise you risk soft bricking your device.
Good luck.
