Since my Note 3 is rooted I've been applying updates via Odin. Few last firmwares (for SEB and BTU regions) I flashed were somewhat limited - for example, there was no option to disable camera shutter sound. Originally the note came with XSI which seemed OK, but the only and newest stock firmware for XSI is of dec 2015. So my question is - what region firmware should I choose to get somewhat up to date Lollipop with no silly limitations like the option to disable camera shutter sound being removed and such?
Put your model number in sammobile.cm it will show firmware .
EG BTU last issue is 02.12.15

I am doing that, but the firmware date does not tell me if there are specific region restrictions in that firmware.
Never seen any pointer to region restrictions .
Apart from the obvious CSC and Modem may be region specific .
BTU = UK etc .

You will need the full UK ROM from Sammobiles or checkfus.
This may give you the Korean CSC, if it does you will need to download the CSC changer for SGS/2/3 from the market and select BTU, this will wipe your data though.

The Turkish ROM contains the CSC for Turkey only I believe, you need to flash the latest ICS from Sammobiles or checkfus and flash through Odin, then change the CSC.
Btw the English ROM is BTU
and another Btw, we haven't got JB for unbranded devices in UK yet, only O2 and Three carrier branded.
when i type *#1234#
i get these
AP : I9300XXBLH1
CP : I9300XXLH1
CSC : I9300ATOBLH1
so which country is my phone right now ?
I don't know the sales code but if you Google Samsung sales code ATO you will be able to find out.
But because you bought it front Turkey there's a 99% chance ATO is Turkey. If you want the English firmware you needs BTU then change the CSC to BTU (English firmware has a few CSCs included)

CSC is not an upgrade path .
Unless you have the full correct HIDSWVER codes phone will not update .
Solution download stock firmware and flash via \ODIN .

Hey y'all,
I've had this S7 Edge International version for a while, and I was wondering if there is any way to improve signal. My internet is slow when I'm not on WIFI, I notice that in certain areas it is good, and most areas is just 1 bar which is meh. Any way to change some settings on the phone to fix this?
what csc are using? I got a France 935 and xfe works OK on AT&T. I did read you don't want to use an AT&T csc as it would be for a snapdragon and mess up a exynos based phone. maybe try BTU

*#12580*369# in the dial section on the phone app it will list it. it's the 3 letters after G935F

it says UUB
I think that is a multi csc for Latin America. might look around xda about using a different open multi csc. also are u updated to latest firmware. maybe since it is an international grab one from UK that has an updated modem (cp) file.

How do I do this? and does it trip knox?
if you update to an official Samsung version Knox will not trip. look for entries about official Samsung firmware and Odin. I assume that this international s7 edge will not be back in it country of origin. if it was and on a network there you'd get updates. if it is in the United States on AT&T then no updates would be pushed to the phone since they would be for the snapdragon version.

I get updates, it's just software updates though, nothing AT&T pushes afaik.
I meant firmware updates from either Samsung or your carrier. if you use *#12580*369# the first two lines should end in BPHJ. That would be an updated firmware. what do the first two entries say

Hello everyone,
I thought of changing my mom's s7 edge region to BTU (currently KSA) as it is very slow in getting OTAs. It only got the December security patch update a week ago or so. As I am not familiar with Samsung phones, I read the forums for every info about CSCs (the CSC and home_CSC were very confusing). I checked the CSC using phone info and it does not have the original CSC, but have a lot of available CSCs and from what I read, I presume the ROM is multi CSC and that it comes with KSA because of the origin country.
But the problem is that I read somewhere that if you flash the firmware of some other region (eg BTU), you cannot go back to KSA, instead it will default to XSG, and also that you need root to select CSC. It also said 'maybe' I would be able to return to the original CSC using smart switch. Can anyone confirm this?
Will it be denied warranty or something when I cannot revert CSC back to KSA before giving it for warranty? (I read that changing region generally does not void warranty, but I think I'm paranoid **thinking of my mom screaming at me**)
Also if I flash the UAE firmware (XSG), will I still retain my own CSC if I do not flash the UAE CSC along with it because XSG is given is my available CSC codes? ( If that is true I should flash BL+AP+CP without CSC or am i wrong?)
Please pardon me if this was asked before but I could not find any information regarding the first and third question
Thank you very much!
Hello,
Yesterday I downloaded the Vodafone Italian Nougat firmware, flashed it and immediately as my S7E turned on I saw that the firmware was wrong.
In fact the firmware is from Germany No Brand, I already downloaded it again just to make sure that I didn't made any mistakes, flashed it again and I have the same problem.
Sammobile take up to 10 days to respond, So I'm asking if anyone else has this problem, or maybe can anyone upload the real Vodafone Italia Nougat firmware:
Model SM-G935F
Model name Galaxy S7 edge
Country Italy (Vodafone)
Version Android 7
Changelist 10422490
Build date Mon, 20 Feb 2017 06:27:00 +0000
Security Patch Level 2017-02-01
Product code OMN
PDA G935FXXU1DQBT
CSC G935FVFG1DQBT
Thanks everyone

Thanks, will download, flash and report back here
I downloaded that one myself some days ago and had no issues.
However, I am wondering why did you flash it if it was wrong. You can easily determine it by the filename.
Has your device been on OMN before?

Yes mine is branded Vodafone, but I had the UK Nougat flashed, now I saw that finnaly Italian Vodafone Nougat became available I donwloaded it to flash, but the guys from sammobile made an mistake, yes the firmware is Vodafone, but it's germany not italy
It contains actually several countries but all are Vodafone branded.
Did you have a Vodafone Italy SIM inside when booting up for the first time?

Yes ofcourse, I an prepaid Vodafone SIM installed. The phone was not bought under any contract with Vodafone
the firmware is multi csc files with Germany is the main CSC. we cannot do anything with it. The only way i know how to change the csc fully to your country is via Samsung Service Center or you need to root the device and do it with samsung phoneinfo apps. Root and you will loose samsung pay function/secure folder and any knox related software like shealth
Usually the CSC changes accordingly to the sim inserted. Only if there's no corresponding csc it takes the default one in multi csc roms.
Please download Phone INFO ★Samsung★ and posts screens here to see what's really going on.
Here's the screenshot
Anyone has an solution?

Flash your original marshmallow firmware using the CSC. It will factory reset your device
Flash the latest Nougat firmware using the HOME_CSC from your original firmware (can be the marshmallow one or if you have an Nougat one, use this). Don't use the nougat CSC file anymore.
Unfortunately without a Single CSC file you are not getting back to your original CSC and a single CSC has not been published for Vodafone Italy. In case of multi CSC the system uses the CSC already applied or in case of change (since you've BTU at the moment) the standard CSC which is VD2 (Vodafone Germany) in this case.
The only way to change that is with root.

I said using CSC meaning the firmware included all the stuff of your firmware.
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Unfortunately that won't help as there's no firmware which only includes Vodafone Italy. There's only one with several European Vodafone settings and if you flash that onto a device with non-Vodafone CSC such as BTU it used the standard CSC included which is Vodafone Germany. I thought first different, too, unfortunately there's no way without root (tested it by myself).
Rooting is out of picture, because I don't want to loose warranty.
I'll try to download and flash Vodafone Italy MM, then flash it, after I'll flash again the nougat with the old MM csc.
Edit: in this case I'll wait for a few weeks until Vodafone Italy will release the proper csc file.
Thanks
Dear XDA,
to get my fingerprint sensor working with Lineage-OS 7.1.2 on my S5 Duos, I want to update the baseband firmware.
Because I couldn't find any clear information of the region of my phone (*#1234# didn't work with lineage-os), and there is no firmware for my country/region, I thought I go the super-easy way to update via Kies3.
Done so, but unfortunately the baseband isn't updated, and there are no FOTA/Kies3 updates available. AP has been updated to the latest version (G900FDXXS1CQD2), but not the baseband ...
When I check AP,CP,CSC on now-stock rom with *#1234#, it says:
AP: G900FDXXS1CQD2
CP: G900FDXXU1CQA4 (as before Kies3-update)
CSC: g900FDOJV1CQB1
On sammobile.com and samsung-updates.com I find G900FDXXs1CQD2 firmwares, but nowhere they say whether it's AP, CSC or CP (the thing I need updated).
I think I don't mind the region as long as English and French is included and I can use LTE in (Western) Europe.
Two questions:
1)
a) when it says "Version" on (can't post urls) samsung-updates: is this the CP/Baseband?
b) similar on sammobile.com: There is PDA and CSC, both differing. But I need baseband/cp.
2) I understand that there are no carrier-specific firmwares (S5 duos apparently not sold by carriers?). So if version/pda is also baseband, which firmware do I download? There are 8 different firmwares with G900FDXXS1CQD2?
kind regards
1. Most likely it's AP, but CP should be the same as AP inside. Sorry, it looks like CQA4 is the latest CP for this S5 variant.
2. Most likely any if you're planning to flash modem only.
CPs will be the same.
Carrier firmwares within one S5 VARIANT and firmware VERSION differ by CSC and hidden partition size.
