I've flashed Nougat beta via Odin. then I revert back to default firmware via Smart Switch emergency recovery. but now my csc is OJV/XSG but my original csc shows empty. then I contact Samsung Gulf. they told me there's no official software named Odin and also they told me to not flash the Nougat Beta via Odin. I asked them if the Nougat beta will extend on other countries? they told only the provided countries might use it and may be extended on carriers on those countries. so is it true that Odin is not official?

Odin is a "leaked" official tool by Samsung but not meant for public use.
Not official, but just as powerful as if it was official. They say this crap just to scare ppl out. Companies don't like it when you actually understand the phone and modify it yourself.
Not official，but useful.

Do you mean, "not official" as in "not meant to be publicly available" or as in "not made by Samsung". Odin is developed by Samsung and gets regularly leaked through various sources. A friend of mine who works in a service center partnered with Samsung showed me that they too (have) use(d) Odin (in the past) for flashing firmware packages on Samsung devices sent in for warranty service. They obtain service software, including Odin, directly from Samsung and other manufacturers they're partnered with. It was a few years ago, so I'm not sure about the current state.

If it wouldn't be official you wouldn't have "ODIN Mode" in bootloader.

Nothing is wrong, Sometimes the OTA just doesn't come through. I would check... http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910F/ and flash the ROM you want via Odin. If not connect to the PC and run KIES to see if the update comes via that. Hope this helps.

Below you can find the link for 5.0.1 BOC3 official firmware (no waranty void when flashing official firmwares). It is the latest one uploaded for DBT Germany. I would recommend flashing this as OTA's are usually faster on this CSC version. Best of luck and hope you enjoy the sweetness of lollipop

Go install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
and do screenshot of CSC-Code and FIRMWARE page
Then everyone can download the official firmware with this tool I believe..

I think you have it accidentaly too
Must be accident from Samsung or an "accidental" leak or tease. There is no way the official roll out will begin this month since they already announced the January security patch which will start rolling out. So it will be February or March. Keep us informed if you find anything new though.

I haven't updated once, yet. I'm still holding out for root.
Went to the Samsung booth at Best Buy & the Samsung rep said that even with his software, he cant downgrade firmware for me.

Ok, so I have a Galaxy S7 Edge, model G935F and unrooted, and I can't use Samsung Pay on it. It's nowhere in my apps and when I use Google Play on my browser it says it's not available in any of my devices. Does anyone know how can I use it ? Also, I have the latest firmware installed.
All depends on which region you are you using boss. S-Pay is in select countries at the moment, so depending on if you have that region it'll show up on your device. Spain/USA/China/Korea/Singapore/Australia.
Brazil. And yes, it's available here .

Yeah, you need to be running a ROM that supports it. Brazil's ROM does so just flash that one. I believe it's ZTO.

I doubt that for warranty purposes that the csc matters as long
as it's an official samsung firmware from sammobile.
People move back and forth from different countries in europe
all the time that's why a different csc does not void the warranty.
But you can if you like, go to sammobile and flash the original
firmware with the same csc which the phone came with.
Hi that's what I did flashing back from BTU but every time it's flashing VIA csc instead of O2U
