Please help! - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

So I flashed btu nougat on my s7 edge but flashed HOME_CSC instead of CSC. Will I still get OTA updates? Please help me I'm in deep confusion..
EDIT : I did some research and most say that I will and some say that I won't. If it's the latter how can I reflash the btu firmware to get OTA updates? They told me something about multi CSCs and things like that. Would you please help me?

How to change my country preferences to receive OTA updates earlier

Hi there,
My country is pakistan and therefore my OTA updates are received later than other countries, can you please help me how can i change my country preferences and so i can set it with UK or Germany to get updates earlier than PK?

As far as I know, the update will roll out based on your currently installed ROM. Inside the ROM, there is the CSC-part, which contains country-specific data.
The only way to change that would be to flash a different CSC to your phone. And this means root, loss of warranty, and so on.
But in this case, you can flash the desired firmware directly.
To answer your question: No
I quess I can ask here, how to find out what csc I have?

Csc: I9505BTUEMJ8
So is that UK? Once I returned back to stock, I flashed Nordic MGA rom with odin and then got OTA updates until 4.3. I have never changed csc on purpose. Does it change while flashing custom roms?

I will download what's out and start posting them :good:
When you download the file is a ZIP. I think I must decompress it in order to get the tar.md5 , right?
Which option must I select in Odin? AP with only REboot and Factory reset?
thanks!

Correct. Make sure you DO NOT check re-partition.

Reflashing
Hi,
I will reflash factory Firmware, i have rottet and have custom recovery. I already have download Firmware and odin can somebody explain me please hove to do it i will be greatfull thanks everybody :good:
I understand that these are stock roms, curious if non-stock roms like CM12 and similar will ever make their way over? My OR rom is awesome, I'm just one of those fools that's constantly customizing for the fun of it.

Hello
Rooting my device voids the warranty, but if I have any problems with my device and need support ... Can I flash the stock ROM and take it to customer support?
Without them finding out?

No. You can reinstall stock ROM and have the tablet working as before, but after installing anything custom the efuse will be blown. This means that it can always be detected that custom firmware/kernels/recovery/root/etc have at one point been installed. It also means security containers like Knox will refuse to operate.
I tried out the October (J) release for T815 which has been released for DBT (Germany) and a few other places. (link here). PDA version: T815XXU2AOJ4. Included CSCs: BTU (UK), DBT (Germany), ITV (Italy), XEF (France), XEO (Poland). Android 5.0.2. Previously I had the latest release for PHN (Netherlands), which is still T815XXU1AOG9.
Stagefright bug fixed according to Lookout. Not fixed according to Trustable.
New app icons
Still no multi-user
For DBT, there are four German bloatware apps included. All four can be uninstalled without root.
No Camera2 API
Dialer doesn't accept the secret codes like *#06#, *#0*#, *#1234#
Weird display behaviour (flashing, freezing) at very low battery percentages
Warning: you can not fully downgrade from this version "2" firmware to the version "1" firmwares we had until now! You can partially downgrade if you leave the bootloader and the modem as is (so downgrade only PDA and CSC).
This is great. Any chance that someone has the Stock ROM for the SM-T817V? Or does the firmware for the T815 work on this device?
The October T815XXU2AOJ4 version is now also out for T815 in the Netherlands (PHN), which is bloatfree. No other CSCs included. Link here. The dialer accepts the secret codes like "*#1234#" again. Otherwise the experience is the same. Again, you can't downgrade from this version.
Can the 5.1.1 update be flashed on any SM-T810?
I purchased one in Australia and when I tried to follow the instructions and flash with ODIN I get an error SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE when using 5.1.1_T810XXU1BOH7_T810XAR1BOH7_XAR.zip
I had and un-rooted device, which just received an update (11/03) to version LMY47X.T710XXU2BOJ1. I ended up rooting and flashing TWRP on it, but I'm having an issue writing to my external SD card. Is there something I can flash to fix this?
Thanks
edit: Google was my friend - manually updated platform.xml.

The T810XXU1BOH7 firmware is very old (H = August I think). Apparently for your device it constitutes a downgrade, which it doesn't allow. Download the most recent firmware to flash. If e.g. you currently have firmware with a "2A" (5.0.2) on your device, you can't flash this "1B" (5.1.1) firmware even though it seems like an upgrade of android, because it is a downgrade of the bootloader. Download firmware with "2B" (5.1.1) in the name and I think it may work.
I don't have the T810, but T815 which is still stuck at 5.0.2...
Is it possible to flash a T710 firmware onto a T715 device? I don't need LTE at all so I don't mind losing it (I have no SIM). I just want to get faster updates because I need multi-user support from 5.1.1.

Thanks! Thats really handy to know. I'll give XAC-T810XXU2BOJ1 a shot and see how that goes.

No OTA update for S4

Can anyone help please, I unlocked my O2 S4 with an unlock code from O2, I then flashed the standard BTU firmware to KitKat to get rid of the O2 branding and make it standard.
When I check for OTA updates it says I already have the latest firmware installed.
When I connect to Kies3, I get the same message, I have the latest firmware.
No message to say its been modified or anything like that, just that I already have the latest firmware.
it currently has: I9505XXUFNB9_I9505BTUFNE1
Not rooted and nothing flashed except official KitKat.

Download latest BTU firmware from SamMobile or something else and flash over your current firmware with Odin. I've done the same thing on my friend's i9500 using XSE firmware (because update via OTA takes 1GB+) and everything goes fine.

Many thanks for the reply, I just did a factory reset and it appears to have started the upgrade, thanks for the help though.

Flashing BTU for time being, then EVR once 7 released?

If I use Odin to flash Nougat BTU firmware, I assume once EE get their house in order and release Nougat EVR firmware I can simply re flash that so I get VoLTE back?
Am I also correct in saying Knox is not tripped either?
Thanks
From what I have read yes your right. I'm the same. On EE waiting.. I was going to btu then like you reflash evr for volte but it means wiping data twice. I'll hold off I think for ee. Hopefully won't be to long.

Honestly I can't see them releasing until March time. They always seem to be about 2 months behind BTU releases.
I was going to create another thread for kinda a similar question if the OP allow me to post here.
I have UAE middle east S7 edge. I flashed UK firmware because its not available yet to us. Once they release it for UAE, can I simply flash the AP file and I will be back to normal and receive security patches as arrive ?
I did it tonight. I've set it up as a new device. Most of my stuff is backed up to the cloud so resetting up doesn't take too long really. What I'll do is once I'm all set up again, do a full backup on Nougat and when EVR 7.0 is released flash and restore backup.

Which firmware version you are at? Which country? My phone was at firmware AQEB, I flashed AQF7 and later got update for AQG5. I'm from India, imported phone from UAE. Even my phone was stuck at May security update.
Same here I also have the AQEB firmware and i also imported from UAE and i too am from india . Do you know any other method rather than flashing.

Flashing using ODIN is the only method that I know of. It's very easy and I didn't even lose my data. Doesn't void warranty too. There are YouTube guides which can help you too.

It's a multi CSC package. Common firmware for both India and UAE.
Guys, I have the exact same problem as described. I too am stuck on firmware ending with AQEB. My CSC code is INS and CSC Version is G950FOXM1AQEB. Real confusion is to determine which firmware to patch. Can I patch Indian firmware or continue with UAE based firmware? Will it void warranty? How to ensure that I don't have to factory reset the device?
