Okay, so I installed polish lollipop on my unrooted UK s5, and have now moved to the stock UK version but I'll be damned if I can change the bloody csc back! I take it your method won't work on lollipop?

no sorry not as yet. i know it's a pain in da a**, regard's joe

OK, so this is odd: if I do a *#1234# the CSC listed is G900FOXA1BOA4 which is UK, but if I run phone info *Samsung* it still says I'm on Poland CSC, even though it lists the UK CSC?!
So, is G900FOXA1BOA4 UK or Poland? Have I got UK csc or not?!

Hi, has anyone tried using Kies emergency firmware recovery? I tried "firmware upgrade and initialization" and entered by device serial, it detects correctly (XSE) but when I proceeded with it, it goes to the default CSC in the rom (XXV - its a multi CSC rom btw). Not sure how to get emergency firmware recovery code tho...

Can't find Stock Firmware for dual Sim model SM935FD

Hi. I bought s7 edge in Thailand.
I was trying to find its stock firmware to get my phone a new fresh start. So far, I only found a link to Singapore firmware.
Here is from my phone
free upload
I heard you can flash single Sim firmware into dual one, but I was just afraid and prefer original firmware (before I root it soon hahaha)
Any idea where I can find one for my Thailand model.

This is the latest firmware for SM-G935FD I'm using,its the best so far,download and install with Odin.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935F/CAC/

I have s7 edge dual sim, SM G935 FD, but i have csc OLB1APB6 ( only the end)
Which is my country firmware? Because i don't find it on sammobile and i don't receive any update by OTA.
Thank you

OLB covering Malaysia/Philippines/Singapore/Thailand/Vietnam. I believe your latest update is of February 2016
Download Phone INFO Samsung from playstore and look for the active CSC. It has got a country shown as well.
I have a FD version as well with XME (Malaysia) CSC. But from what I have researched, for Galaxy S7 Edge specifically, Samsung has been releasing OTA updates (three times; once a month since Feb) for OJV countries (Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia,South Africa, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey), XSG (united arab emirates) and EU countries (NEE=Netherland, DBT=Germany, LUX=Luxembourg so far)
I have decided to flash the DBT firmware as from the look of firmware updates trend, Galaxies with DBT receive the earliest and most frequent updates from Sammy. Everything is working fine. No Knox triggered. Not too sure about the warranty; i guess it doesn't matter that much since samsung only looks at whether your knox has been triggered.
Good luck

thank you
can I flash German firmware only PDA or i have to flash CSC and MODEM too?

Sammobile wrong firmware! Please help

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

SM-G935F: Flashing different region ROM

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: SM-G935F
Hello everyone,
So the reason I'm asking for guidance and not straight up trying what I found is because this is my only phone and I cannot risk or afford fixing it if things hit the fan like i'd do with a spare or an old phone.
In addition the region code attached to it, the code is carried by different carriers and countries in the Gulf Area, some of which received Android 8 and some haven't. However since my phone wasn't purchased from STA, saudi telecom, I don't believe it received the updates distributed to the country,. So currently my phone was bought from a distributor in Saudi Arabia, which usually carries codes from different gulf countries. That region apparently hasn't received updates since earlier this year.
I'd appreciate just simple guidance for this process to get it right.
However I do LIVE in the UK and I would like to flash my phone to a UK region, I'm unsure which code to use and what files I would need to place in Odin.
Phone info:
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: SM-G935F, Unlocked (They usually require you to use a local sim card for a 5 minute call after which it's fully unlocked)
CSC: G935F0JV1DQIL
AP: G935FXXU1DQJ8
CP:G935FXXU1DQIL
Would it be possible to flash to UK BTU as they receive more frequent updates?
I don't know if this has any bearing but I'm using a Three sim card at the moment.. However I have used around 8 different sim cards/companies in this phone since i purchased it.
I would appreciate any advice on what files to place into Odin if I want to keep my data. (Or if I have to completely wipe it?) or shall I switch to another up-to-date OJV country like Emirates (UAE)?
Also i'm not sure what home_csc file is.
hope to hear from you guys soon.

good day
I purchased my device SM G935FD from Oman with CSC XSG (part of multiple CSC OJV middle east and some African countries). Even though I received OTA, I always install the full firmware upon officially released.
I upgraded my device from Android 7.0 to 8.0 using UK BTU firmware, the availability of which came first.
In short I downloaded the firmware from Updato (Sam Mobile slow and lagging) for the BTU firmware. Just to be sure you have to download the correct and appropriate firmware and also the latest Odin (Odin3v3.13.1) which was upgraded by Samsung to be utilized for Android 8.0 and higher versions.

Also, be sure to activate your Developers options and enable USB debugging and unlock OEM. Using Home_CSC will retain your user data while using CSC only will factory reset your device and start anew.
