Unbranding with ota? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

So, i bought a S7E branded (csc: ZVV) and flashed BTU's APC8 to unbrand it. Now, it seems that i can't get the new OTA(APD3?) because my phone is "up to date".
Did flashing my device broke ota? It's status is Official and i've flashed the whole firmware (ap, cp, bt and csc).
I'm using 935F.

It shouldn't have no if you're completely stock and not rooted

Well, sammobile has added APD3 to downloads, and my phone still points to APC8 as latest firmware.
Flashing that modified home_csc from the Official STOCK thread may have caused this?

hey. I also was lookin for it to my 928C. Couldnt find any flashable zip or tar.md5. So you can also flash them after pick them up from original firmware like I did. BTW im using 928F BL, modem csc etc. doesnt bother much.. It depends on your reason to need them.
here it is
bootloader AOK9 https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B99ovoZTeCq4OUhuRUZINEpNLUU/view?usp=sharing

Quick question... for flashing the modem do I have to flash the bootloader too or would it work to flash the modem only?

Hey You can flash one of them or both, doesnt matter. Just if they matches, look good. In the attachment, you can see my old mix lol.
Just tried to flash the bl and cp but it failed... Guess I am doing something wrong...

What was the fail at odin? I select BL and CP at the same time and flash them without any issue. Need to know your process otherwise It might be caused by not compatible F variant files.
I guess that´s it... my phone is a G928G and I am trying to flash a modem and bootloader from another variant...

Maybe.. But for sure that is not valid for C variant. I always used F variants bl, cp. In the attachment which I added in one of my last posts, you can see my BL, CP sometimes also Csc were N920I,G,T. Because I used Note5 roms too with their CP, Csc, BLoaders which comes with the rom(N5's BL and CP were not flashable via odin). Anyway sorry to hear that your device couldn't. Actually not a big deal Imo Have a good day/night..
will flashing a modem from another variant damage my phone or trip knox?

How do i return AT&T S7 Edge to Stock?

I rooted my s7 edge from AT&T but ever since then the phone was extremely sluggish and various processes would regularly force close. I tried to wipe to factory but that didnt solve the issue, I've tried flashing with ODIN and ive also tried Smart Switch. None of these would allow me to flash the stock software. This is extremely frustrating because i can barely use my phone now its so slow

What do you mean you tried to flash Stock? Please explain your steps. Odin to Stock is one of the easiest things to do.

I used the Odin client from the root page and the stock rom AP file. Put the phone into Download mode, and started odin. It would hang on Initializing and the phone would say "Odin protocol version error". Sometimes it would hang at "SetupConnection". I tried 2 different Odin clients that were designated as necessary for use with the s7. I have the samsung drivers and I know that Odin to stock is easy but for some reason i can not figure out what im doing wrong

Try unzipping the tar and see if it has BL CP AP and CSC files.
Which Odin are you using??

Ok place phone in download mode open Odin and place corresponding files in the matching slots. Then hit start.
You're using official sammobile firmware I'm assuming.
Don't flash pit files or anything else just the Four files.
Search for the latest Odin and download that as well because apparently the Odin you're using has been modified in some way. If it fails with modified Odin use the latest and do the same thing.

Root won't cause lag actually.
I have a G935F I dumped my G935A right away because of no root.
With Root you can install Titanium Backup and debloat a lot of stuff that causes slow down

That's what I always thought but as soon as I rooted it it was just unusable. Im sure the root itself wasnt the cause but i must have done something while rooting

CSC without root

Is it possible to install a CSC without rooting the device? Specifically, I want to install AT&T CSC but I don't want to root and lose samsung pay.
What device??? G935F? No you'll lose IMEI the G935A is Snapdragon G935F is Exynos
The only way is using Odin
But you'll screw your device up big time

Is your device Exynos??? Actually you'll need to ask in the ATT threads I believe.

Yes it is Exynos, its the Canadian version. I believe there is no difference between the G935W8 and the G935F except the bands but I could be wrong.

When you flashed the g935a csc, what exactly stopped working on the phone? Was it just a missing IMEI number in settings or did the functionality of the phone go down?

You can't flash the TMO Firmware since it's Snapdragon you will brick your device.
You can, however, flash TMO CSC

If you just want to change to the TMO CSC, s7freak's info is the way to go.
If you are looking to completely wipe and reload the stock firmware that came with your phone, You have to use SM-G935F firmware.
