1. Different country (CSC different) affects only to 4G and OTA updates.
2. CSC ("Country Specific Code") is basically the configuration data APN, MMS, etc ... in each country.
3. Flashing new firmware erase root access.

It worked man without root
And all my data still the same after flash without wipe xD
And no problems with wifi networks

I want my Lollipop

Maybe your CSC code is wrong or your status is not correct ..
But you can always flash it directly with Oding , with out going thru Kies , backup first , make an EFS folder back up

Hi mate ,
That is official firmware from Samsung , it will not void your warranty . To back up your EFS you can use an app like this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.galaxsimunlock&hl=en
Is safe to flash with Odin BUT like all there is always a chance that something goes wrong ....just be careful , read , make sure you know what you need to do , follow the instructions given
Yes you can restore your old firmware , which one is it ? what carrier
But , there is always a but.....if you upgrade to 4.4.2 you can not go back to 4.3 or 4.2.2

Hi ,
Check the following:
Odin troubleshooting: If Odin accidentally gives you "fail" try the following:
- Repeat procedure.
- Make sure that all actions of Kies are disabled from task manager.
- Change usb port.
- Try another usb cable (make sure it is the original).
- Try another Odin version.
- Uninstall and re-install driver.
- Use pit file.
- Try another computer.
From this great thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Download file again just in case.
they only thing i didn't try is The pit file, idk what that is !!! what's that ?!

PIT=Partition Information Table , during flashing if selected will create the different partitions , you can try , follow instructions , select the right file and select re partition
If possible do a factory reset before flashing.

Hi.
Check here from thread:
Note 2: If you have a corrupted partition table (Odin says: "there is no pit partition" or "Re-Partition operation failed"), flash pit file for your device (attached, dont forget to unzip it) (put it in pit window) with your firmware (some users reported that it worked without firmware), in this case "Re-Partition" must be marked.
Another question , you are flashing same or newer firmware right? Odin will not let you downgrade...

Unfortunately TGY firmware is not compatible with other firmware (including TTT region)
Now you will need the PIT file to flash with the appropriate firmware (with the option Re-Partition selected).
- If you want to flash TGY firmware, you will need the PIT file from TGY device.
- If you want to flash TTT firmware, you will need the original PIT file from your device.
And note that do not flash back to the 4.3 as that may brick your device.
Try to flash only 4.4.2 from now on.
Thanks for your informative reply.
Do you know where I can download TTT or TGY pit file?
Most sites only have the ROM but not pit files
Thanks alot for your advice.
I successfully flash the TGY ROM via Odin using a TGY Pit with Re-Partition option
Phone reboot stuck at "Samsung Logo" ... go to Recovery ... reset data .. phone boot ok !
But keep show S pen input failed...then I reflash via odin without re-parition option... working well now
Thanks !!! Thanks !!

1. Try to flash via ODIN this ONE. Your device is using Hong Kong (TGY) and I think you can't flash european firmwares on it.
2. Install this APP and add screenshots if you can't.

Odin files for latest AT&T S7 Nougat update?

Does anyone have the files for the latest Nougat update released from AT&T on the Galaxy S7? I tried flashing a previous version in Odin from the BQA4 update and I think I bricked my device. I can get it into download mode but it won't flash anything in Odin. Also, if I try to power it up normally, it just flashes a blue recovery booting text in the upper left corner of the screen.
I'm using the latest Odin 3.12.3.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Ed

So I tried the above instructions and received this message in Odin -

Disregard my previous note. I didn't have the samsung USB drivers installed. After installing them and placing the files in the corresponding sections I had a working phone again! Thanks for all of your help micallan_17!
By the way, I couldn't get it to work with the Princecomsy odin so I used the regular Odin 3.12. It would hang on Setup Connection every time with Princecomsy. Just an FYI for anyone else out there with this same situation.
Just wanted to say thanks again! These files unbricked my phone, I'm now running official AT&T Android 7.0 - G930AUCU4BQA6

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that the unfortunate individuals whom took the BQC2 via OTA would not be able to use the files micallan_17 provided. In my case, the daughter was not worried about rooting her device and therefore took the update to the latest... Wouldn't this make the downgrade while the bootloader is now BQC2 ill advised as it would potentially brick the phone.
I suspect the G930AUCS4BQC2_CL10280464_QB12904132_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.rar file muniz_ri uploaded and mentioned in his thread below might rectify that scenario.

G950F - cannot flash System via ODIN

Hello,
I am unsuccessfully fighting with sotfbricked Galaxy S8 model G950F.
I've managed to flash via ODIN latest BL, CP and CSC, which makes stock recovery available.
So to sum up - only stock recovery and Download Mode works.
When flashing AP - no matter if correct file for latest firmware according to my CSC, or to other CSC files - Odin flashes almost 70%, then suddenly stops:
<ID:0/005> system.img
<ID:0/005> userdata.img
<ID:0/005> FAIL!
<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
On the phone it says then in Download mode "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(SYSTEM)" in red.
Has anyone successfully solved similar situation? Any ideas worth trying?
download the right firmware. check your latest firmware of phone model at sammobile.
Already did that. Downloaded almost 9 different firmware for either my carrier CSC or country CSC, but the error persists.
what binary your phone required?
What do you mean?
I've tried to flash G950FXXS7DTB5, G950FXXS7DTA6, G950FXXS7DTA1 for OPV and XEO regions.
it will work if you flash the right set of firmware.
It seems like right set of firmware doesn't work

G950FXXS7D numer 7 you must look in other firmwares
Every single binary 7 firmware is failing due to "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(SYSTEM)" in red in Download Mode after trying to flash.

Only official binary error is probably due to flashing firmware not signed by Samsung. This can happen when bootloader is locked and/or rmm/kg state is prenornal ( flashing non Samsung firmware )
While flashing the correct Samsung firmware will normally get you out of trouble with the error message.
What odin version are you using?
Can you post a screen shot of download mode.
I've tried ODIN 3.13.1 , 3.14.4, 3.14.1 (patched), 3.12.7 in various firmware configurations.
Below screenshot of data from download mode (with KG State - Prenormal), and screenshot of the error after trying to flash AP.

Hello,
I am unsuccessfully fighting with sotfbricked Galaxy S8 model G950F.
I've managed to flash via ODIN latest BL, CP and CSC, which makes stock recovery available.
So to sum up - only stock recovery and Download Mode works.
When flashing AP - no matter if correct file for latest firmware according to my CSC, or to other CSC files - Odin flashes almost 70%, then suddenly stops:
<ID:0/005> system.img
<ID:0/005> userdata.img
<ID:0/005> FAIL!
<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
On the phone it says then in Download mode "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(SYSTEM)" in red.

I don't really get your point. Do you want to install the official firmware or a custom one? One easy solution would be to flash twrp and search the forum for a ROM you want to flash (there is even stock debloated ones that are better than total stock in my opinion). Can you please provide more details on what you are trying to achieve and what's the problem?

Anything above Odin version 3.13.1 should do, as they support .lz4 compression ratio.
You screen shots from previous post looks ok to be flashing stock firmware. With KG state being prenormal you will have issues flashing non Samsung signed firmware ie: twrp, root etc.
Since the Knox has been tripped do you know what has been done to the phone before. May provide some info on what is happening.
As a matter of interest have you tried Samsung Smart Switch to try and fix the issue. It does have a recovery option in there. Do you have latest Samsung drivers installed on PC.
Note: Running Smart Switch and Odin can cause issues with each other.
