Hello to all, I have a UK/BTU Note 3 and the kitkat update has not been out yet. I was wondering if I should update my phone with another country official firmware but I am not sure.
What are the cons of doing it?
Will I be able to have OTA updates after or I must download and flash updates myself?
Are there any other pros except that I will not have to wait more for the update? Are the firmware for some countries better than others? I heard that Poland's firmware is working better than any other?
Thank you very much

U will get update threw OTA only from country u flash, if u want to come back to BTU u must flash threw Odin, u waited for long & today branded UK firmware start seeding so it should not tack much longer time for BTU now, yes poland firmware is the one getting flash without issues of size & its stable also.

Thank you for clarifying it! if I remember correctly, 2 months ago on sammobile forums someone told me that I could not get OTA updates If I flash a different country firmware.
Are you sure I will be able to do it?
Maybe I will flash the polish firmware if I get Poland's OTA's because as I know Poland is always getting the updates first.
So it would be better for the future to get the updates without waiting so long...
Also as I see on sammobile there are two 4.4.2 firmware for Poland. Which one should I choose? (tried, but I cannot post links yet as I am new to the forum, sorry)
I Am 99% sure but I will ask anyway, flashing official Samsung firmware does not void my guaranty, am I correct?
My mobile is from uae, I flash first A6 Poland firmware at launch after that received ota of poland latest B3, My knox is 0x0, I hop I answered your questions, feel free to ask if you have any doubts.

Thank you again, you answered all my questions.
Only one left! should I download and flash the B3 or the A6 first?
U can flash directly B3, but for best results clear data & catch before & after flash.

Hi there, just wondering does any Australian users who own G935FD flashed the Nougat beta firmware? Does it perfectly work with any carriers? And will I still receive OTA afterwards? Cuz I really want to try the new rom but couldn't find any official stock as backup. Many thanks

1) Yes
2) Yes
3) No
4) Official firmwares - flash via Odin. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
I'm on Nougat Beta 1 flashed via odin. Definitely recommend.
Next time, please read the forum title before posting. As you can see this forum is for news&discussion NOT q&a.
I am an Australia user who flashed Nougat beta 1 as soon as it came out. Haven't had any real problem with it. It has minor bugs here and there but its good enough for my daily driver.

No I flashed a generic XSA CSC from the latest Marshmallow official firmware. Download and extract from the zip on Sammobile. This was an attempt to get Samsung Pay working, but it looks like they're disabled it for Nougat regardless of the CSC.

Oh Samsung pay currently doesn't work for me since I don't have AE credit card. Which country of the latest marshmallow firmware on sammobile btw ? And for other fields in odin like AP, just fill up the files given by the beta rom, right? Thanks

Thanks for remain, one thing I am still concerning that when I flash back to official stock, will I still get OTA? Since my Galaxy note4 is running on an official stock and still can receive OTA after I flashed many times of different ROMs.
Hi!
I have an Indian Version of S7 Edge G935FD and I wish to flash the BTU version for the Nougat update.
I have a few queries first:
1. Can I use an Indian Sim (Or Any other country's Sim)on the rom? (The packaging has the Indian Sim Only label)
2. Will the network be smooth? I use 4G here. Are there any issues that I may face or any one of you faced?
3. Anything else I should know?
Thanks!

2. Will the network be smooth? I use 4G here. Are there any issues that I may face or any one of you faced? - Yes, your network will work normally. You won't notice any difference. The only thing you won't have is VoLTE.
3. Anything else I should know? - Only do this if you want Nougat NOW. Otherwise wait until it's relased on your firmware. But you won't have any issues.
Thanks!

Thank You for the quick reply!
Yes. I am too excited for Nougat so I'm unable to control myself. The issue is there is no word on when the Nougat will come in India. The samsung officials have no comment except "There is no update about it yet" or "we do not have official timeline for nougat update in Indian market"
An official word on an estimated time frame for the update would work wonders. Is there any reason why I should wait?

One last question. The link given in another thread doesn't work or has download limit. Is this (https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935F/BTU/) the correct site for official signed btu ?
and I am downloading odin and instructions from here: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-galaxy-s7-edge-nougat-ota-update/
Lots of info in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/android-7-0-s7-edge-uk-beta-program-apk-t3493696
Or this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/nougat-coming-january-17th-t3535831
Downloading from samfirmware is slow for non-premium members. There are other download links in those threads.
And yes, those instructions for Odin/flashing are correct.

Right. Started downloading through the samfirm tool . Will keep you updated just in case I'm doing something wrong.
Being downloaded:SM-G935F_1_20161222102339_alpis38j2b_fac.zip.enc4
Edit: Samfirm is fast. Got around 2000kb/s speed which is cool. No issues

Yep, that's the one
Just unzip the download into a folder. There'll be 4 or 5 files. Just choose each one for the relevant section in Odin (you'll see it obvious) then flash it.

Finished the flashing process! Odin sort of showed a not responding title after I selected the ap file but I figured it was doing its job and waited patiently. It paid off! It finished loading and I started and flashed successfully. Boot up was fine and now I'm downloading a 1291.19 gb update!
Yay!

Yep, the AP file takes a short time in Odin to select as I think it just scans it first to check the md5 is correct.

Whats the easiest method to switch from XEU to BTU ?
Tried flashing a different CSC first using repartition option, it just fails, tried flashing BTU, but it's multi CSC so it just flashes to XEU again
I received the OTA update last night. The one feature that seems to be absent is Bixby, at least I can't find a reference anywhere, for better or worse...
Any idea what happened to the Memo app in Oreo? Newer phones ship with Samsung Notes. Not sure if the 2 are compatible with each other.

I have updated through Odin many times and various Samsung phones and always without any problems. Moreover, by Odin never trip knox 0x1, so the warranty is valid on, so if there are problems, you can reclamation and the reclamation should be recognized.

You can flash the last available firmware from UK and you will get the OTA update instantly.
I intalled the last UK(BTU) firmware (using odin and samfirm) and i got oreo without any problems.

When I changed to BTU back in 7.0 beta, I just flashed the whole official rom, but whatever difference there is between XEU and BTU will be lost in the process. Maybe try with a different release.
