Ota update problem - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I have galaxy s7 edg, When i try to ota updat it downland the updat, then restart to install, then it restart and start to install, when reaches 28% it show a yellow triangle witht ! And dose not complete the installation.
Iv done wip cash and data, and tried factory reset.
My phone is sm-g935fd, south East Asian version, and iv installed uae rom because i need arabic language, i dont know if this is the reason? And what can i do..?

Does your phone restart at all or are you in a bootloop? If so, you might have to download the full flashable odin version and start from the beginning. You will likely lose all your data though.

I'm with onurd, start again. Sounds like you have flashed an incompatible ROM\firmware.

1. Download the latest UPDATE for XSG (United Arab Emirates). SM-G935FD uses the same firmwares than SM-G935F.
2. UnZIP it and you will see 5 files (The one starting with HOME_CSC_ isn't necessary)
3. Open ODIN and add all 4 files in the correct position (AP file with AP box, CP file with CP box, BL file with BL box & CSC file with CSC box).
4. Reboot your device in DOWNLOAD MODE and conect it to your pc.
5. Start flashing.
6. Wait till the process finish. Done.

Is the OTA for the UAE ROM, or the original version?

Stock Android N

So I see a few threads about this being released already and on the dev section for N ROMs, I see that you need to have already flashed the stock Android N ROM before flashing the dev ROMs through TWRP.
I've checked Sam Firmware and cannot see an N based ROM for the S7 Edge on there.... Am I missing something?
Also, if I manage to find a download for an N based stock ROM, what are the options to use in Odin?
I've flashed many ROMs in Odin, so should know this, but I always like to be 100% clear, so as to save myself a headache!
you could... download the last BTU mm firmware. then update via ota will pop out directly after you finish setting up your device.

I'm not registered on beta program but I go back on latest MM firmware and my phone is updating now to Nougat
No update for US and I was on the Beta Program with Sprint. So it's not true that all beta testers got it first.
I am from italy when should I expect
In Spain, PHE, we don't have it.
I can confirm flashing BTU will give you Nougat OTA straight away
Can I flash 6.0.1 BTU without any issues if I am on the first 7.0 beta firmware?

If you flash BTU that changes your CSC so yes you'll lose your data. There was a trick to export, alter and re-import your CSC which is covered elsewhere in this forum but I don't know ify it still works

How to get rid of "Ramadan" and Hijri on calendar? SM-G950FD Dual Sim version

How to get rid of "Ramadan" and Hijri on calendar? SM-G950FD Dual Sim version
EDIT- See last post on page 3 by me. Solution found, and samsung pay also working.
Hello, I got my new S8 dual sim version from ebay today, was shipped from texas, but is the dual sim "DUOS" international version. The calendar app has the orange Ramadan line through it and "Hijri" in the settings. Is there any way at all to get rid of this?
I'm not sure if there is a different OEM rom I can flash in ODIN that would get rid of this. I definitely don't want it in my calendar, along with some different dates I'm not aware of that also show up. I googled it and looks like muslim dates.
I've read that SM-G950F roms are compatible, but what about odin flashing F roms and not FD? Would this solve the problem somehow if there is no other work around?

That doesn't work though. You can press on it, shows the date individually, event is there but clicking on it does nothing. Also as far I can tell no way to get rid of the muslim calendar dates also. I want to keep it OEM for now, no root, is there any other international variant OEM rom to flash?

You can choose what calendar sources you want (google, celebrations, facebook etc.) All of them are on by default. You just have to find it in the calendar app and disable that calendar. It is celebrations calendar for sure.
I don't know. I'm thinking it's baked into the ROM for real now. I googled this also and it seems the S7 had the issue also on international variants. But there were some work arounds I think. I tried unselecting all the different calendars. There is none that states celebrations on here.

You can flash any firmware (using Odin) from the F version to the FD one with absolutely no issue.
Edit: If you are scared to flash an F firmware, you can flash the Russian one (from the FD) and it wont have any of that "bloatware"

Cool, so would this one work? https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950FD/SER/download/G950FXXU1AQF7/172614/
It's an updated version also it seems, as I'm on AQDG and security patch April 1, 2017 and this one is 6-1-17. This won't put the russian alphabet on my phone will it? lol
Mine has the Egypt firmware apparently.

That should do
You can remove the russian keyboard very easily (it is like if you flash a Greek or Italian OS, no big deal)
But be aware. In order to avoid the EGY CSC, you shouldnt have a SIM card while booting for the first time and you should probably use a .pit file
Last but not least, use SamFirm to download the whole firmware (Here) and make sure that you tick the Binary Nature selection on the app (that way, you will get 5 files instead of one and you can completely remove the EGY csc)

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the EGY CSC. What is this exactly? Under software information I see under service provider is EGY/EGY/EGY. I do have straight talk up and running just fine on my S8 using the ATT network, everything works as it should right now.
I'll be sure to have my SIM card removed when flashing in odin and rebooting the 1st time. As of right now, I'm downloading the file from sammobile, the zip file which they say to extract and flash in odin.
I checked that link you sent and found the russian one with the SER region selected and clicked binary nature. So should I not flash the file from Sammobile with odin and use the the link you sent instead?
The tool downloaded the 5 files you said, I have a HOME_CSC file, CSS_OXM... , CP, BL, and AP files. They are all md5 files. So you're saying I should flash these in odin instead of the single file from Sammobile?
Im good at rooting phones and stuff, but only when following guides. The "behind the scenes" stuff I'm not good at since I don't program. This one I'm not rooting right away, just want to do this to try and get rid of the egypt stuff and muslim calendar things.
Heres what I have. It shows 4 places to flash though. The AP, BL, and CP seem straightforward using the files downloaded, but which one of the top 2 files goes in the CSC part?

The single file from Sammobile wont help you to remove all the muslim stuff from your phone. On the other hand, a 5-"pack" firmware will debloat your phone completely.
Just put the BL file to the BL option in Odin
AP file to AP option
CP file to CP option
and CSC (NOT HOME_CSC) at the CSC file
Also make sure that you have "extracted" from the CSC .tar.md5 the pit (Just open it with WinRaR and extract the .pit file)
After doing that, open the pit section on the Odin and selete the pit file that you just extracted

Thank you. This all worked perfectly. Did every option. Phone is back up and running just fine, Latest software and security patches are installed.
Sadly, the ramadan and muslim dates are still there, still shows EGY under service provider SW version. I guess I'll just have to accept this and can't get rid of it.

Hello t-shock I'm hoping you'll see this, but I ordered me a Russian Sim card on ebay so I can change to the SER hopefully. Would I follow the same steps again? You did say make sure not to have my Sim card in when booting for the first time, but wouldn't I want to have it in so it can read it and hopefully change? Since when I did it with no Sim cars inserted, it didn't change. Now I'm trying to change my csc to get Samsung pay to work, and it looks like it should on Russian phones since its been released there.
I've tried everything else and I can't even pull up the multi csc menu, even though it shows EGY should be part of the multi csc pack.

Hi
Put the Sim on the phone and repeat the step that I have said.
But make sure that you use the pit file and also the csc (not home_csc)
Were you able to get rid of EGY? I'm in the same boat.
I think you should flash multi-CSC firmware that contains CSC you want to get. I have NEE/NEE/XSG, no muslim stuff. OXM firmware.
As I have had same satuition. EGY is included in Multi-CSC OXM, you can't change CSC by odin flashing another Multi-CSC OXM firmware.
I tried flash VD2(Germany Vodafone) then it became VD2/VD2/EGY but if I flash other CSC included in Multi-CSC OXM, it go back to EGY/EGY/EGY. I'm gonna just root my phone now.
I got my phone from Dubai, inserted finnish SIM card and turned on the phone. It automatically changed CSCs to NEE, which is correct for me.

I'm waiting on my Russian Sim card to come in the mail, then I will try to change to the SER csc, which Samsung pay should work for. Hoping it changes. Apparently from reading above, if you have a multi csc like the EGY I have, you can't flash another one. That's why when I initially flashed the SER csc through Odin, in a multi part file, it didn't change. HOPING it will change when I get my Russian Sim card.

Can you clarify please? I'm assuming you had EGY csc also. Is that why when I flash SER csc (Russian) it didn't change anything? But VD2 is not multi csc package and that's why it changed? I don't really care what firmware I'm on now as long Samsung pay will work and it doesn't have all the bloat ware. I was told Russian software has some of the least bloat. Will changing my Sim card change the csc?

[How to] VoLTE on Jio India Carrier with USA snapdragon S8 or s8+

NEW Instructions: Dated July 10th 2018
Should work on all Snapdragon USA/Canada models (ATT , verizon, sprint, tmobile tc) Tested on S8+ and S8, should work on Note 8 if you have right files. S9 switched to a different CSC format, so it's not possible to use this method for S9 models.
Keep your Jio/Any other VoLTE enabled indian carrier SIM in the phone all along.
Check your Bootloader version first (Download matching files only)
(Identify your bootloader version > Go to Settings > About phone > Baseband version under software info should show something like G955USQU4CRE9 The fourth number from right is your bootloader version. If you try to flash any lower version (BL 3 to BL 2), ODIN will fail and phone will show Fused 3 binary 2 error. So, choose the file versions matching your bootloader. You can go higher but not lower. Means BL 2 can be flashed with BL 3 or 4 but not with 1 (most of the times).
1.Back up your data using Samsung smart switch or any other means (save whatsapp chats to google in settings)
2.Flash matching stock firmware (On unzipping stock FW, you'll get AP, CP,BL and CSC files. Use Odin to flash them) (Don't flash User data file if it's there in extracted files)

13) Once your phone reboots, you will see an "IME" button on the bottom). Tap on it and type *#243203855#
14) On resulting window, if you see INS in the list, click over it and click install and select full customisation.
15 Your phone will reboot to the 'factory binary homescreen', go to ADB on your computer and type in "adb shell".
16) Type in echo "INS" > /efs/imei/mps_code.dat (Please make note of the space between " and > and /)
You won't get any confirmation.
17) Now flash the full Stock firmware matching your bootloader via ODIN (BL, AP, CP, CSC files (not home csc)
18) After the flashing, phone will reboot. Don't setup any accounts yet. Boot to recovery and select "apply update via ADB" (Like step 11)
19) Sideload the CSC zip (similar to step 12) and let it reboot.
20) On reboot, you should see INS/INS/xxx under software info (xxx is your factory csc version) and VoLTE icon should appear.
Possible glitches
1. Phone app force closing
Reflash AP BL CP only excluding CSC
Install OMC zip via adb
2. Messaging app FC
Install S9 sms app or google messaging
2. Sprint OMADM app needs to be removed to avoid annoying notification or change notifications to low priority
To remove via ADB, turn on usb debugging
type in adb shell
you should see a dollar sign.
next type in pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.omadmspr
it should say success.
If you want to extract OMC zip for a different model device, watch this video.

The file needed to extract is attached to this post (omc extract)
Thanks to @jrkruse for the idea of flashing CSC zip from exynos to snapdragon
@Mike15678 for carrier switch thread
@chetan180 for trying carrier switch to INS
@anarasgarli for combination files links
Does this have the same issues as root like 80% battery and safetynet failure?
Is it possible to perhaps install the CSC and then unroot?

No rooting involved with new method.. so no battery issues.
Isn't there any multi csc rom available for snapdragon variants
So we could stick to stock nd get indian csc on it

Update: now Possible to stick to stock with INS CSC.
No. There are no custom roms for US models. Soon we might get modified stock versions but all will involve Rooting first then every rom will be flashed via Flashfire only.
So we have to give up Spay etc that depend on Knox.
Tried it still no volte
using normal s8 not s8+

Mine is 8+.
Make sure you have a jio sim inserted during the process.
Anyway.. try this zip with Only INS CSC in it (previous one had XAA-usa unlocked CSC also) and report.
If that does not work, try the attached zip (Worked with s7/note 5).
Let me know which one worked.
thanks.

There's a chance once devs get a way of flashing custom builds of stock and then flash normal boot instead of engg boot after unrooting (like s7 edge).
They are still working on it. If they come up with a method... I'll try to provide an updated zip that supports such rom.(they'll be stock modified roms)
cant follow instructions
hi.. unable to follow instructions to do it correctly... any video tutorials or in depth instuctions for novice like me will help greatly... reason i am writing to u is am from hyd as well. any help will be appreciated ... thanks

Firmware updates after rooting through flashfire.
As u mentioned in ur thread, after finishing all the process how to flash new firmwares through flashfire. Please give me step by step method. only systemimg file or whole zip or ap and all files.
Hi The link for rooting is for the S8+ should we use the same files for the S8?
I flashed the canadian firmware using this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/snap-guide-flashing-standard-fw-carrier-t3627255 -- to my unlocked VZW S8 can I do the same with this India firmware?
s8+
hello,
i have s8+ of US AT&T model is sm-g955u
it is unlocked can u please tell me how can i enable volte feature in my phone so i can use jio sim without jio4g voice app
I am a layman but I wish to get VoLTE on my S8 (not S8+) international version purchased from USA. Kindly help me with step by step protocol and also warn me of possible issues that I may face. Thank you in advance
i need help
how to do this can you please tell me step by step process (
nimms said:
This is specifically for indian carrier, JIO 4G.
Now that root is available, We can install S8 india CSC and get VoLTE on USA-Snapdragon sim unlocked phones.
First root with the help of this thread till Part 1
Then during part 2, instead of "Add CSC Systemroot" file, use the modified file with India and XAA-USA CSC
This will flash INS CSC along with XAA CSC. This zip was made by @jrkruse for US carriers... I've just added INS CSC to it and removed other US carriers stuff.
Or.. If you just want Indian CSC Use this file (no XAA) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-Kp4aJsfti2NFhFR2NtRHc3ajA
Download only one of the 2 files please..
Order in flashfire should be Wipe > System.img.ext4 > QG2_ADD_INS_CSC_SYSTEMROOT.zip
It might take a few seconds to acquire signal. if not, try toggling aeroplane mode off and on, then see.
VoLTE is working for me. (I have a sprint version of s8+)
If still fails, make sure you have Jio Sim in the phone while you are doing this procedure.
Credit goes to respective thread owners to whom i linked (Root team and jrkruse).

If you are new to this, find a friend near by who can do it for you. This is not a first timer's job.

You need experience in doing such stuff buddy. Not worth it if some thing goes wrong. If you can't follow the steps, i would say leave it.

Wich firmeware select to flash s7 edge from 935V to 935U

I read that I can install the firmeware of sm-935U in my sm-935V, but when i enter in sammobile page ,there is a huge list of 935U firmeware, wich of those do i have to select to work fine in my phone
If you look at the numbers they are all the same.
Just be sure to flash the CSC fine and not the Home_CSC one when changing the firmware. Remove all the google users first too. All your apps will be deleted.

How do I know whic CSC im downloading , cause there is only 2 options, PDA and CSS, and the other doubt I have, wich version of odin is usefull to install the rom?
It's just one zip file. Get the latest one (from 04/2019)... like this one for PDA G935UUES9CSC2 and CSC G935UOYM9CSC2:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935U/VZW/download/G935UUES9CSC2/265864/
Extract before using Odin.

I did a similar flash but didn't remove google users. The factory reset protection messages appeared, I entered credentials, and things started reloading. What else did the factory reset protection do that I don't what it to do?
