Dear all,
Yesterday, I purchased my first ever android phone (coming from iphone 6s) and this phone is such a beauty. Anyway, I rooted it using cfc autoroot and have a question regarding firmware updates: I used SamFirm software and input SM-G935F (F and FD same versions? can't find FD firmwares) and XSG got this:

Is this the right file to use for updating my phone? I guess I am using Flashfire for updating without losing root? I want to keep the CSC and any other relevant config the same because I will be using this phone in the middle east.
I would appreciate you guys input on whether I should go ahead and also a good tutorial for updating without losing root.
Thank you!

Hey there! G935F is single sim version while G935FD is dual sim version. Seems you have got a single sim. F versions will work for you.
Regarding root. When you flash a new firmware file then you will lose root but that's okay you can again root it again. Just like u did first time.
I would suggest you to go with Odin to flash a file.
you can find the tutorial here:

Thank you for the quick reply @iamansar, I in fact have the Duo version. Will the file suggested by SamFirm work for my phone? (not mess up the dual sim, keep CSC as XSG?). Also regarding updating without losing root, I believe you are suggesting to flash FW using odin then redo the TWRP and Su steps?
Thank you!

I apologise, I didn't see that you mentioned that yours is G935FD w/ XSG.
It seems you can flash G935F file to FD phone and the firmware will recognise it as dual sim and you will get those features.
About root, well I must say I haven't tried rooting my S7 Edge yet at least till its covered under warranty.One thing for sure if while flashing stock firmware, you lose root privileges and you will have to root again.
You can use this latest firmware.

Have you tried connecting your phone with smart switch in you PC/Laptop with Windows/Mac? As you don't plan on flashing some other country firmware, I would suggest you can go ahead update you phone from there. This what I did today, Mine is XSG as well.

Thank you for the link. I have not tried doing so since my phone is currently rooted and I am afraid trying to update it officaly might mess up my phone. Also, if I flash the file you linked me using Odin, will I lose the TWRP?

Yes! you will. So, Instead of using Odin , It'll be better to flash the firmware using FlashFire as suggested in this tutorial, if you don't want to lose TWRP.

As for that region there seems to be no OS version 6.0.1, so my question is: can I flash firmware from different region (BMC)
Here is data of this firmware:

PLEASE if somebody could help me. Should I just flash it the simple way ( I do not think so ). Any way not complicated too much.
Hope for some optimistic but also practical answers. Thank you very much.

yes you can flash that BMC firmware. aslong as you flash only n910w8 it will flash fine. you may need the correct pit file though.

Thank you for reply. I flashed OS 6.0.1 yesterday and everything seems to be OK. Now I am struggling with rooting. Unfortunately "CF-Auto-Root" files do not work. Phone reboots to strange screen with 3 colorful lines and only flashing again can help it. After reflashing I will try “One Click” Root.
! There is a surprise on the way, and it is too expensive for me - so good bye "One Click Root".
Still looking for working way to root my NOTE 4, any help please?

Hello,
I currently have an unlocked G930A that is running on 7.0, I am using the T-Mobile carrier and I would like to flash to the T-Mobile rom. I know it was possible on marshmallow but I couldn't find any posts regarding 7.0.
If I follow these instructions

Thanks bro! You know which version of Odin to use? I'm on 3.12.3 and it's giving me invalid sha md5 error. File is fine. Other guy mentioned Odin from Verizon thread. Couldn't find it
Edit: Found it! It's PrinceComsy Odin 3.12. It worked perfectly! However, now my fingerprint sensor doesn't work. Is that because I didn't flash bootloader? If I flash just bootloader, will it still wipe the system?
Edit 2: Goddamnit Samsung Pay isn't working either. Says I made unauthorized modifications.
Final Edit: So apparently you have to flash Bootloader as well to get Samsung Pay and fingerprint sensor to work.
Basically, Download PrinceComsy's 3.12 Odin from Verizon Root thread. Then flash the latest G930T ROM from SamMobile. Tick BL, AP, CP, AND CSC. Make sure you ran Odin with admin privileges. It'll wipe internal SD so back that up.

So yesterday I updated from Nougat (not rooted) to Oreo. After I updated I had some issues with my SIM. Basically most of the time I get "Out of service/Not registered in the Network". The SIM is working fine in other Phones. Already tried a reformat (with Stock Recovery) did not help.
So can I just use Odin v3.12 and the S8 Nougat files and flash them?
Will it brick If I do it?
The Oreo Firmware (and my phone) has no carrier. (DBT, Germany)
Same goes for the Nougat Firmware.
Thanks
Phone Info:
- SM-G950F
- Exynos variant

Are the firmwares for G955F and G955FD the same?
My friend has the FD version with G955FXXU1CRB7 - CSC ILO (ISRAEL), but I can't find G955FXXU1AQK7 for the FD version for CSC ILO.
Can I use the firmware for the F variant with Odin?
He is having terrible battery issues with Oreo, wiped data using stock recovery but it won't help.
Downgrade from CRAP (8.0) to AQL5 (7.0) and now I have a DRK error and it automatically starts the recovery, some help?
You can't downgrade via odin. You can only flash the same firmware or higher.

Can you downgrade SM G950U from Oreo nougat?
Hi,
I am trying to flash my SM-G935A AT&T S7 Edge (not carrier unlocked) with the new SM-G935U firmware (G935UUES4CRG3/G935UOYM4CRG3/G935UUES4CRG3/G935UUES4CRG3) that I dowloaded for my US AT&T S7 Edge. I upgraded my S7 Edge to the latest Oreo firmware via OTA around a month ago.
I used SamFirm to download the image to flash. Anyhow, even though I put every file into its respective category on Odin 3.13.1, I get an "SHA256" mismatch error. I've seen some instruction that say to only add the AP file onto Odin and others say to use the prince cosmey version of Odin. What could be the problem? Does the phone need to be carrier unlocked? Is my firmware too new or of the same version? Do I need to use the prince cosmey version? Is it not possible to flash the g935u firmware onto a g935a phone? Should I use another download source? Should I use the slightly older G2 firmware? Anything else I should consider?
Also, I noticed that I could not download firmware for the SM-G935A using the ATT code with SamFirm? Any reason as to why?
I realize that there are many other threads that touch upon this problem but they are either with a different edition of the phone, firmware version or some other variant. I'm posting a new thread because I want to be as thorough as possible and make sure not to brick my phone by receiving safe advice before moving forward. Thank you for your time!
Below are the SamFirm download details:

Thank You
Hi did you find any answers to this issue? i got stuck on same point as you...
Stock Odin checks the version on the device and fails because the U version doesn't match the A version you are "upgrading". There are patched versions of Odin that skip this check, and that is what you need to do a cross-carrier upload.

Hi,
I have a galaxy s7 edge SM-G935F model device. it was already rooted. but now I want to flash stock ROM into it. but when I visit sammobile.com to download the original firmware there's no option for my country. I'm from Sri Lanka. but when I choose the SM-G935FD model there's Sri Lanka. so I want to know if I flash any country firmware to my device (SM-G935F) is there any problem? I mean heating, signal, lagging problems? please help me with this.
Thank you
Flashing firmwares from other countries has not been a problem for me.
Also I dont think flashing fd should be a problem either. FD is the dual sim version which is essentially the same. You can flash FD 1st and if you notice any problems try flashing another country. Always flash the latest FW though. Might cause problem if your flash old firmware over newer.
If you want to keep root try S7Edge Stock rooted

Hi,
thank you for the valuable answer, my friend. yesterday I have flashed ITV firmware to my SM-G935F model. when the process is ongoing Odin is stuck 2 times (set partition). but when I change the Odin version it gets completed. when I check both firmware file sizes FD one shows 4000MB+ and F model ITV firmware shows around 2300MB+ sizes. are there any differences between those two? I already flashed ITV open firmware. what did you recommend for me to do? FD one or F(ITV)?
Is the one you flashed booting? If yes then go ahead and test it
