Hi,
I bought my S7 edge form Portugal, the phone is factory unlocked.
Now I'm back in my country and I thought I should download from sammobile the official firmware of my carrier provider or the global version.
I'm not sure if I'll still receive OTA updates if I flash the firmware with ODIN, and if that's the case, please tell me if there's any other methods to flash the baseband without causing updates issues in the future.
I want to update the fw because Volte doesn't work.
Another question, I don't have a PC, so I was wandering if I can install Odin on Mac or in VmWare?

My Galaxy Note 3 is an N9005 (LTE capable) phone and the firmware for my region (Philippines) has stopped its updates since 11/19/2015, I see that UAE has its firmware dated 06/30/2016 and thats pretty recent, will it be okay for my device to use a UAE firmware ? or is there a suggested firmware that works 'globally' ?
Choose one for your network .
But what do you expect to update to ??or even want to update to as 5.0 is the latest .
If you want the latest security updates for your stock 5.0 you can try this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-qs-n9005-lp-t3037655
If you want MM there are s7/n5 ports and cm13 roms here on the forums.
I had s4(4.4.2) rooted now I have completely removed the root by flashing stock firmware which I got from this post. I downloaded the turkey 4.4.2 listed under GT-I9500 firmwares although I am in india. Now when I try to update trough settings > software update, I I get msg "The latest updates have already been installed.". So is it happening because I flashed turkey's firmware, pls help me how to get lollipop update.
Flash India (INU) or India (INS) firmware. Either should work, but using the INS CSC is probably best, as that apparently is for unlocked devices. The reason you're not getting an update is the phone is not in the same region as the firmware installed on it.
Stock firmware for the gt-i9500 is here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9500/INS/
@audit13: Already covered that.
My bad, I didn't click on the links

Hello folks,
I would like to update my S7 Edge (SM-G935F) to the latest Nougat firmware which if I'm not mistaken arrived UK BTU, which is:
PDA - G935FXXU1DQB3
CSC - G935FOXA1DQB1
I would like to install it via Odin, the most stock way possible (don't want root or custom recovery), just because that I'm tired that it haven't arrived OTA in my country (PT).
But I have a few questions regarding this manually update to the latest firmware of another country:
1) Manually installing the latest update from BTU UK will stop me from receiving future OTA updates? and if no, will I be receiving the OTA updates in the future from UK or PT??
2) My device with the currently firmware has no bloatware from any network (was bought unlocked), if I upgrade to the latest firmware from BTU UK, will I still have no bloatware? (or bloat will be installed?)
3) Will I have any problem from installing a firmware from other country (being both for the same model: SM-G935F)?
Thank you very much in advance! :good:
I have everything ready to make the manual flash, just want to clear this things out before I do it.
Thanks

Each country or region has it's own CSC which can be easily flashed
by itself without the need to odin flash a different country's full firmware.
The only time you need to think about bloatware is if you flash a specific
carrier's firmware like perhaps vodaphone and most other carriers add
their own bloatwares. But if you only flash the regional firmware for your
country or region like BTU UK you will not end up with bloatware.
Good luck and happy flashing!

Future OTA's will not be a problem if you have flashed
the proper CSC for your country before trying to update
future firmwares.

So you are saying that first I should change my CSC to the UK, then flash the latest firmware via Odin and won't have to worry about future updates? Can't I simply flash the latest UK BTU firmware and it will change the CSC and get me the latest firmware in once?
Helo Members!
i purchased S7 edge Sm-G935FD a month ago with currently installed firmware 6.0.1 and now i want to update it to Nougat 7.
please help me how can i chose correct official firmware for s7 edge because no OTA update available in my country ( Pakistan) and very confused and dnt know how to chose firmware Baseband /csc/etc.
i manually check on sammobile there are only 2 country listed with Nougat INDIA and Russia.
Hey,
So I too have an S7 Edge in India. The firmware's country doesn't make a difference so you can choose any country's firmware for your specific device. However, make sure it's for your carrier. You can go to www.sammobile.com and download the firmware. Then use ODIN to flash it to your phone
Hope this helped!
Hi,
i have purchased the Samsung galaxy S8 SM-G950FD from Dubai, since i will be using the phone in India i have flashed the phone with official stock firmware . now my question is will i received the OTA updates as usual or i have to keep on updating the phones manually. also when i use the smart switch my phones shows firmware updated. but recently on the July 16th there was new firnware which i have not received. Could anyone guide what should i do as i am concerned. also how can i do the master reset . (the same csc and firmware as it came from out of the box )
so where exactly did you get this stock firmware. my carier's firmware update is really slow, i dont want it
Firmware downloaded from Sam mobile
I had downloaded from Sam mobile . But mine is international unlocked version . Please check your firmware and model before flashing . My model is SM-G950FD
