How could the July 20 plot be successful and have no civil war and maybe save Germany from soviets and even the allies

The answer is that given how the plot had been screwed up by Goering and Himmler not being present on the 20th, plus a variety of problems with the coup after the assassination, likely there is a civil war of some duration. Germany was beyond saving by this point, so it is just a question of making the war end sooner, which will happen one way or another if Hitler is assassinated successfully.

My favorite version is the German armies in the east continue resisting for a couple more months while those in the west & the Med collapse, other than the fanatics. The war ends in Europe in early September with Allied paratroops fanning out from the Tempelhof Airport a few days after the 21st & 12th Army Groups cross the Elbe river.
