I have an SM-G960W running on the August 1st patch, and I'd like to keep it that way. I wanted to know if it was possible to update the BL, CP, and the CSC via ODIN from updated sammobile firmwares without losing any of my data, or having my security patch updated as well. Thank you in advance for any help

Nobody? Excuse my ignorance. Not looking to be spoonfed, but even being guided in the right direction to find my answer would be greatly appreciated
with F Model it is no problem.
just flash newer Firmware with AP, BL, CP and HOME_CSC
BUT
1. you have to use a G960W Firmware of course
2. OTA wont work if those firmware package was not released for your Model/CSC as an offical OTA Update from Samsung

That's the thing though. I DON'T want to flash the new AP, because that surely updates security patch, etc. I want to know if I can take the BL, CP, and CSC from the newest firmwares (matching my model of course), and flash those in Odin to keep my current security patch, and phone data, while getting BL, CP, AND CSC updates

in theory this should work also....
But, maybe phone wont boot if BL/CSC/CP is newer then AP.
Also, why no newer security patch/bug fixes etc?

Why are you asking? Just flash what you want to flash, if it doesn't work flash stock again
If the bootloader updates it's version you might have no choice but to update AP too though
Why don't you want the latest security update?

I don't want the newest security patches because I'm a huge Pokémon go player, and all of that translates to making things more difficult. Both bootloaders are version 3, between the one I'm on, and the targeted firmware for BL, CP, and CSC, so it should be fine right?

I have seen official Samsung firmware with CSC version higher than AP. So this isn't a problem

So in theory it should be okay to keep my current AP (with August 1st security patch), and flash updated BL, CP, and CSC from sammobile? Without losing my data and/or current security patch or anything like that?

Theoretically. But this is your own risk. I'd say there is virtually no risk involved as I've seen official updates only bumping the CSC (two with the same AP) so this is true. Yet again everything can happen so backup is your friend. Backup on SmartSwitch or whatever you use for backup, go ahead and flash.
Hello,
I recently sideloaded the new OneUI beta ( https://www.xda-developers.com/install-one-ui-beta-samsung-galaxy-s9-galaxy-s9-plus/ ) and would like to know how I could reverse this process.

Flash back to the Oreo firmware with ODIN... guides are all over XDA and sammobile
Since it's sideloaded I'm not sure if it will work but the latest version of Smart Switch for Windows has an option to roll back the OTA's to Oreo.
I am in the same position as the op. I have the rom I need to flash. Should I flash all components including bl, csc, ap etc or just ap? Smart Switch doesn't allow me to roll back. Cheers.

All, flash the same way you would any time, and use CSC not HOME_CSC
Hi all. Is it possible to roll back using smart switch for Mac? I don't have access to a Windows PC, so if it's not possible to roll back using the Mac version, is there any other way apart from Odin?
I have successfully gone back to Oreo. UK rom from updato. Odin 3.13.1 Flashed bl, ap, cp and csc (not csc home). I had the latest smart switch installed but no option to go back to Oreo in it. Thanks for advice on here.

ODIN 3.12?
ODIN 3.13.1 was needed for Oreo
Oops my bad. 3.13.1
You can with odin. Tested by me and many others.
My AT&T unlocked note 10+ it's not getting the ota update or any update to be honest. It says Anndroid security patch level July 1,2019. So I downloaded the XAA android 10 firmware from Sammobile and wanted to know how can I update via Odin. And if I do the update will it wipe my data or also media ? I don't want to do a reset of the phone
You can flash using Odin and HOME CSC file. This should not wipe your data. If that doesn't work, you have do with it with the Non HOME CSC file which will wipe it all.
Install Note 10 drivers. Load Odin. Load each file and click start.
