So I've bought an international S7 Edge and I'm aware that it's not from my country (Australia). It's of northern Africa / Middle Eastern origin, but it was new, and unlocked, so whatever I figure it should be the exact same in whatever region, just the firmware will be different.
I'd like to change the firmware to my own country so I can use a couple of things like Samsung Pay.
My current system is:
AP: G935FXXS1APG3 - PDA
CP: G935FXXU1APEQ - PHONE / MODEM
CSC: G935FOJV1APF1 - CSC
Model: SM-G935F
I've had a look at this thread detailing stock firmware installs.
That seems pretty straightforward, and I've looked up the firmware on this site: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935F/
(Is that site safe and acceptable for firmware?)
Is there anything else I need to do to swap from the north africa firmware to the australian firmware? Which seems to be PDA: G935FXXU1APF2
Do I just run odin and all my data and apps remain? Do I need to mess with modems or is that all included in the download link for the firmware?
One extra thing, with the stock firmware I just downloaded, I have the following files:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Why are there 2 CSC files? What's the difference between HOME_CSC and just plain old CSC?
If you were, as in this case, on a XSA firmware and use the home_csc file instead of the csc file, your device would not be reset. If you change your csc and/or use the csc file included in the firmware package your device will be reset. In your case the device would be reset no matter what, as you want to change your csc.

Hi, I have the following problem with the phone Galaxy S3 Neo. Just flashed my phone to CM 12.1 but decided to come back to the stock rom. The only one who became ROM for my phone XCUAN with XXUAN not start my camera. So far so good just flashed my phone with the latest available firmware (with Odin) for my region (Bulgaria) but the phone is not the same, there laging in Connection Menu in any games. What to do?
Bulgaria got a very recent update.
Try to download an older one rom. Search for the stock rom that came originally with your device. It might work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647 Use this tool to get the latest firmware. Enter your model and region (BGL or VVT for Bulgaria, VVT is probably bloated with carrier apps.) then it will give you the latest firmware to download. You can also enter the firmware manually, if you want to get an older one. When you have downloaded it, press decrypt and it will give you a zip file, extract it and you will get a tar.md5 file. Then flash it normally via Odin. Credits to @zxz0O0 for the app.

My phone only works with XCUAN firmware with XXUAN camera not start. For my region Bulgaria has only one XCUAN firmware, With him my camera works but there is a slight lag in settings/connections menu and Swamp Attack Game.
XXUANH1 is an older firmware. Maybe your phone shipped with XCUANJ4 and it doesn't support XXUANH1? Try to download the latest XCUAOF1 firmware with SamFirm, I'm running it in SEB region. SamMobile doesn't have the firmware yet. I will attach a photo what you should enter.

Hello and thanks for the reply. I'm with XCUAOF1 region Hungary. I have some occasional lag while scrolling quickly the Settings> Connections, has notice stutter in that particular page. I did not notice the same stutter something else. Same lag is available in the game Swamp Attack. I tried about 10 different firmware and all observed this lag. It all started when I decided to come back from CM 12.1 to stock rom before I had this problem with CM 12.1 also do not have this problem. Already desperate not know what to do will be very grateful for advice

Hi Experts,
I have recently bought a refubished note 4. Please find the below details of the phone. I am not getting any updates because the CSC and the Firmware Code is totally different. I would like to match back the CSC and firmware code to a rom which is for N910C with code of XME -N910CXXS2CPB3_N910COLB2COJ5_XME (Malaysia). My question will be if I able to flash N910C rom into my phone. Is there anyway of doing so without triggering the knox? Please advice.
Original CSC Code: CHN
Firmware CSC Code: TGY
Active CSC Code: CHN/TGY
CSC Country: YSA/US
Country of Origin: MADE IN KOREA
Knox Warranty Void: 0x0
PDA Version: N910AUCU2COC4
CSC Version: N910AATT1COC4

Thanks for the advice. Flashing through Odin should not be an issue. my question is will there be any issues if i flash a n910c rom into the phone which i do not know if my phone is originally n910c or n910f. I did notice that not all have the same baseband and hardware specs.
N910c has the exynos processor and n910f has snapdragon,you cannot flash n910c firmware on n910f. Go to about device and see wich one is. Only flash your model.
If the information on first post is the one from your phone you hqve n910a. So neither c or f can be flashed

No, flashing stock doesn't affect KNOX
This method is already being discussed in the main N thread too

Does it wipe my data ? I have RO(MANIA) CSC. Will it work?
Did not worked for me. Still on my Home CSC ... I flashed CSC not home_CSC
It's the same for me. SmartSwitch shows a DBT version although I flashed the CSC from SamFirm.
When I take a look at the CSC on the phone with *#1234# I can see the OXA CSC. I think that's wrong...?
What's wrong? Can u please help me?
Several people from different regions reported this guide and firmware works for them: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-galaxy-s7-edge-nougat-ota-update/
I am currently still downloading
If you're coming from DBT, you have to flash TPL/PRT/PLS before BTU!!! After this, it will work...
I am on BTU firmware but is rooted and modified. Can i flash this without loosing data? My status will be official after flashing it without loosing data?
This is my version. Can I get 7?

SM-G950FD missing GSM850 band
My S8 is missing GSM850 band. I probably never noticed that, but the problem is that this is the only working 3G band in the area I live now. I forced to use my older SM-G850W to get my service. To my understanding, GSM850 just disabled on this Russian variant. I have already tried to Odin similar ROMs from South Americas (same CSC: FOX) with no change.
Device Model: SM-G950FD
AP Firmware: G950FXXSBDTJ1
CSC Firmware: G950FOXMBDTJ1
CP Firmware: G950FXXSBDTJ1
Firmware Country: SER
Is there any way to get GSM850 enabled? Is flashing with G950FOWT9DTF1 possible? Will it help?

Technically the S8 with Exynos (like your device) should support GSM 850 MHz.
You can try to set the mobile network mode manually to 3g or back to auto - see my screenshot.
I did everything but it seems like the band is physically disabled (please see my initial screenshot)
The only way now I can imagine is to change modem/country...
