How do you use SamFirm for SM-G935FD?

Hello. I'm kinda stuck here and I would appreciate if you all could help me. I've been trying to retrieve the same firmware I have for my Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935FD) but I am unable to. Here is an album of pictures filled with errors I got and my device information.
The Phone Info application says that my device is SM-G935F while Android says it's SM-G935FD so I'm not really sure which one I should use. I've tried both SM-G935F and SM-G935FD and the results were similar. For Auto (SM-G935F), I got this error message:
'', hexadecimal value 0x1F, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1.
while for Manual (SM-G935F), I got the same error message as SM-G935FD Manual mode.
Again thanks for the help. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Csc field wrong info

Samsung doesn't upload full firmware for G935FD on their server so you can't download them using this tool.
You can find apd1 firmware for FD on samsungviet. It's for THL but it's same multi-csc for SIN

Oh damn. Didn't know that. If it's alright with you, could you link me up a place where I can download it? Thanks
Edit: Nevermind. I found out that I haven't updated my firmware. There's actually a newer firmware.

Thanks for pointing that out. It works now. However the "Version" info is different than the PDA, CSC and Phone info I've put in. It's G935FXXU1APDQ/G935FOLB1APD1/G935FXXU1APD1/G935FXXU1APDQ. Not a 100% sure but I think that's a different firmware.

It's much better to just wait. At least then you know it's a legit firmware and you won't be bricking your device :good:

WIFI Disabled after trying to root

Hi guys, im from Argentina, i tried to root my S7 edge SM-G935F made in vietnam using CF-Auto-Root with Odin following a tutorial in youtube (big mistake), when i finished, the Wifi icon turned grey like it was disabled. I cant turn it on (obviously cant find any Wifi networks because its off).
I tried doing a hard reset but the problem continues. The phone was working perfect. I downloaded root checker after trying to root but says "Root access is not properly installed on this device" , so totally fail :good:
What should i do? What ROM can i flash? and how? Here is my actual software:
Android version: 7.0
Baseband version: G935FXXU1DQB1
Kernel version: 3.18.14-10422490
Build number: NRD90M.G935FXXU1DQB7
Thanks

First things first, flash official firmware via odin, then try rooting again and choose Any touchwiz rom from xda (cause aosp is not really stable as there's no source code released)
How to flash firmware via odin
Do some research on google (at least it's how you become pro [emoji6] )

yes, but try to flash the one for your country as the csc has the codes need to have your phone working optimally with your provider.
Other countries will work but not 100 %

S8 SM-950FD Jio VoLTE Support help

Noob Questions : I have scanned the forum to find answers on how enable VoLTE feature in Galaxy S8 Sm-950FD for Jio Sim. I have tried the Odin route and APN method without any success. I would request friends here to provide detailed help or pointers on how to enable VoLTE for Jio Sim. Appreciate help in advance.

No need to enable VoLTE. just choose the network mode as LTE/3G/2G mode and jio volte works..
for me its working from day one.

I have bought my S8 from Dubai and there was no VOLTE option. However my Jio sim worked fine by default. Updating to Oreo has now given me the VOLTE option.

I got this device from US. I am on Nougat. Updating Oreo will solve the problem?

Can anyone kindly help please!!!!

Buying it from US shouldn't matter if it is 950FD device. I hope you're using a Exynos device? What is your active CSC?

Backup your data, Download the latest INS (India) firmware for your device. Insert the Jio sim in slot 1 and flash the firmware through Odin. Use the regular CSC and not the Home_CSC as we need to factory reset the device. Post that you should have the INS CSC.

Thanks for the reply. The latest firmware you mean , on Sammobile is Nougat. Is it ok if I use that. Also if flash using ODIN, will I have to redo TWRP as I will loose Root access?

Search for the Oreo Odin update on Google that was released for India a week back but it is no longer available as Sam took it down. Otherwise, flash the last Nougat version. Yes, you'll loose root, twrp etc as the phone would return to the stock condition. I could have recommended flashing files through twrp, but I believe, your active CSC is messed up so a clean flash is highly recommended.

You're doing something wrong. The active CSC can't be BTU if you followed the steps correctly. Till the time, you don't completely wipe the device, it would never fall back to the correct CSC. Additionally, you need to have an Indian sim in Slot 1 before you do the process as system dynamically allocates the CSC based on the sim in slot 1.

Can you kindly elaborate what you mean by completely wipe the device. since I am using ODiN to flash the firmware, option of complete wipe doesn't arise right.? As it puts the device to stock. The firmware from Sammobile cannot be using as TWRP flash. Also I am using JIo sim in first sim slot. Am I missing any steps..... Thanks for tIme.

In the firmware pckg, there are 2 CSC files, one is the regular CSC that completely (System,Data,Internal Storage) wipes the device and the other one is Home_CSC that wipes all except the Internal Storage. You need to use the regular CSC.
Else, right now go into Settings >> Reset and do a Factory Reset.

S7 edge brick while flashing oreo with ODIN

I downloaded from sammobile the files that i needed for the device, the model G935F.
I tried flashing it with odin (latest version). It failed at recovery.img (after flashing it and boot.img).
The phone doesn't reboot to the system. It only shows error mode and to use the smart switch emergency, but it says that the device is not supported.
Any help? Thank you

Which country you bought it from ? Was your phone network locked ? Use odin 3.13.1, also tell which firmware you flashed ..

Thats because you are flashing older bootloader version..

Its asking for the previous account that was logged on before it bricked. If you are the owner put your account details and if its someone else like your customer or friend, ask them for the details of previously logged in account.. that frp lock is there for security and xda won't allow to discuss solution here. You should search yourself now for a solution .. Good Luck !

Only Official Released Binaries Are Allowed To Be Fashed Samsung SM-G950F

Hello!
I mess up by flashing my Samsung S8 SM-G950F, now it stuck in booting and red text "Only Official Released Binaries Are Allowed To Be Fashed "?
How fix that?
Thanks for answers!

That means only official stock firmware can be flashed. So you should download stock rom and flash.
