Nougat BTU flash call problems - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

So I flashed BTU nougat on my unbranded s7 edge a week ago. But since then people that me that they've tried to call me. But I didn't get any call. When I call them back I get the SMS that I missed a call. It seems that the phone logs ouf the network after time (but Mobile data works). Any advice or anyone with the same issue?

Hm.... I don't know...

I had the same issue (was on the latest swiss firmware, so not on nougat). It is in partial to do with the CSC and your network/Sim. Best thing to do is wait for Nougat to come out in your area, and then use that CSC.

So DBT is currently active. That's the one for my region so I don't know what I have to do

Any fix? facing the same issue

Same here on BTU.

I have the same problem with my S7. I have the original firmwate updated to Nougat. I also made a factory reset with no result.
I have nougat DQB3.
I tested another company sim card and it seems to work ok with this one, but I want to have the other one on the S7.

[UK] Unlocked S7 Edge - Enable EE features?

Hi folks,
So as in iPhone user, i've been following the latest Galaxy very closely and decided to take the plunge on Sunday!
Suffice to say, sat in front of me at the moment is my first Samsung (I went for the Edge).
I'm on EE, so i'd like to know how I go about enabling Wi-Fi calling (and VoLTE when it launches - although i'm aware it's testing in several areas at the moment) on my device. I bought it unlocked, direct from Samsung - which probably explains why I can't see the settings for it?
I've ready that I may have to flash the firmware with the EE version to get the features - my concern with that though is tripping Knox, as i'd like to use Samsung Pay when it launches.
Is there a method of enabling the features without flashing the firmware?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

i wouldnt if i were you. i tried that with apple pay in australia and it didnt work. its region locked. wait for the official launch.
for me, my ban offers nfc payments through the phone so i can wait abit for samsung pay to arrive in australia and if im lucky, they will give out free stuff like in america.
i never tried volte calling. but you can always use whats app and stuff.
Its safe to do so,
I bought my S7 Edge from the Samsung store, and flashed the EE firmware, it doesn't trip knox, only custom changes will trip knox, So rooting/custom recoveries and such. its safe to flash the EE firmware. and WI-FI calling working for me, (How to enable WiFI calling). as we speak. But I did do a factory reset(delete everything) after flashing to make sure the CSC for EE was installing correctly.

Ah - just what I wanted to hear
Can you tell me if the EE firmware comes with loads of bloat? Also, will OTA updates work, or will I have to manually flash them when released (I'm sure I read that auto-updates don't work if flashing a different firmware - although I could have misconstrued that).
Thanks

Auto-update will work, but you will have to wait for EE to push the updates out. so might be a delay until they release them, Only difference from buying the phone from EE or Samsung is the firmware, So if you flash the whole phone and factory reset in recovery, its pretty much a EE phone. be warned sometimes WiFi calling will not work until you call up EE and ask them to activate it on your handset, (and that can be a funny conversation, since you didn't buy the phone from them but I managed to talk my way around it on my S6 edge+), And on my S7 Edge it seems to already be enabled after I flashed the EE firmware and enabled in the phone settings.
It's a shame that we still have to install carrier specific firmware to access these things. I thought I heard samsung had overcome this?
Some articles suggested that the S7 could install carrier specific software upon detection of SIM accordingly. This doesn't appear to be the case. I have just had to flash H3G firmware. BTW op it didn't trip KNOX

It is a bit rubbish really - it's one good thing Apple has over android imho. I know Google are trying to go down the same route with Carrier Updates - but they're gonna have to grow a pair if they're going to get anywhere with it.
Anyway, thanks kossiewossie - just finished flashing mine. Hoping I haven't tripped Knox (not checked yet, it's restoring my Google Account backup).
To flash the firmware is it just a case of downloading the EE firmware from sammobile and using Odin to flash it? Because I know for the S6 there was an issue where the partitions were different between the EE version and the unlocked version meaning you had to get hold of a PIT file to flash the EE firmware. Is that still the case?
I'm also considering doing the same. I'm on EE but it came through a re-seller so I've got stock Samsung firmware.
Other than the delay in updates being released, is there any other reason why not to do this? Are you able to flash back the BTU version if you grow tired of waiting for carrier updates and don't end up making the use of wifi calling?

The only benefit I see with the EE firmware is Wifi calling, but as I am in a fantastic reception area, I do not need it. Therefore I see no other reason to use the EE firmware and prefer updates as soon as they are released.
Yes, if you grow tired of waiting for carrier updates, you can flash back to BTE/XEU firmware.
I can't speak for EVR firmware. I used Samfirm to download 4 file H3G firmware and I was not asked for a PIT file.
Interesting there are PIT files included in the files if you unpack them so maybe this was used?
Having downloaded the EE firmware I'm a little confused with Odin.
I have:
AP...
BL...
CP...
CSC_EVR...
Home_CSC_EVR...
Do I need to select all of these within Odin? If so, which CSC as there seems to be two? Sorry if this is a stupid question....

When I did it last night, within Odin I selected files for AP, BL, CP and for CSC - CSC_EVR. I didn't use the Home_CSC_EVR file.
Knowing my luck, i've probably done it wrong - although my phone does seem to be running fine!!
I'm too cautious about flashing the wrong one lol. I'll wait until we know the difference I think!
Edit: Flashed it with the standard CSC. All seems well.
I flashed the standard csc myself and all seems well for over a day now. Would still like to know what the home csc file is for.
Edit. Just found out that home_csc doesn't contain the pit file so it doesn't wipe the phone. So would have to use the standard CSC when changing firmware.

[UK EE] Flashing over Samsung firmware

Hi All,
I've got terrible signal where I'm living at the moment so I'd really benefit from getting the wireless calling through the EE firmware.
I've downloaded the firmware file but I'm a bit stuck. The firmware file itself has extracted to five separate files:
AP...
BL..
CP...
CSC...
HOME_CSC...
I'm assuming that I've got to select all of these within Odin, however I'm unsure of the difference between the two CSC files. Both seem very similar in file size.
Does anybody know the difference and which one would be the correct one to flash?
Cheers
What was the format of the file you extracted those from?

How do you tell what is on the phone mine said it was coming from ee but then it said it was coming from the company I used which was buymobiles.net so I don't know if I have a proper ee one or a sim free I guess so might flash software once you work it out
You've probably got an unbranded one like me. It's usually pretty obvious when booting up whether it's carrier branded or not.
Think I'll wait for now until somebody can confirm the difference. I'd like to know what it is that I'm flashing
Yeah I think I am unbranded I do have the wireless option and it is on my package I called to check might turn it on it says it can take 24 hours to turn it on.
I've got no option for wifi calling in my settings. Boo! ;-(
Mine is settings, applications, phone then wifi calling at the bottom why would I have it and you don't my phone is not from ee weird
I have the option and my handset came from EE but appears to be unbranded.
Perhaps the branding isn't as obvious on the s7 then. I definitely don't have the option in there
My CSC is XEU with the firmware on my phone

OK so for anyone thinking of doing the same, I have gone ahead and flashed the firmware and enabled WiFi Calling.
I selected all files in Odin with the exception of "HOME_CSC" (I used the standard CSC_EVR).
After enabling the option in Settings -> Applications -> Phone, I text WiFi Calling to 150.
As I'm in an area with crap signal I can already see the WiFi calling symbol in the nav bar and have made a few calls with it. All seems well.
Some very subtle changes in the EE firmware but very close to the stock in terms of branding.
@mmotti The EVR firmware on Sam Mobile is shown as G935FXXU1APB9 is that the one you flashed that enabled wifi calling on EE? Thanks.

Flash the CSC file that contains a PIT file in it, The firmware on Sammobile has a CSC file called "CSC_EVR_G935FEVR1APB4_CL7211170_QB8683672_REV00_user_low_ship.tar" and that's the one you need to flash, otherwise Odin just get stuck if you flash the "HOME_CSC_EVR_G935FEVR1APB4_CL7211170_QB8683672_REV00_user_low_ship.tar"
I bought my phone from the Samsung store, and flashed the EE firmware, it will wipe the device(or did for me anyway). but now I have WIFI calling and working perfectly, only issue with using the EE firmware is that firmware/security updates are super slow :crying:

I did it and everything is fine. I got WIFI calling that is working and that was my main priority. Doesn't seem to be any downsides compared to the XEU firmware.
Hey everyone.
Thanks guys this is just what I was looking for, im using an EE sim on pay as you go but I have an unlocked Galaxy S7 Edge that I bought online NOT from EE.
1. So If I install this firmware I should be able to use wifi calling and hd voice?
2. Are there any downsides to flashing this firmware?
3. Will this reset any settings in my phone do I loose any information.
Thanks
Thanks for your help

Flashing BTU CSC results in XEU

Hi all,
I have today received my S8 from EE and flashed the latest stock BTU firmware with Odin.
My phone is reporting that I have an XEU CSC. Is there any way without root to get the BTU CSC to register correctly?
Cheers
Edit: It also says that it's manually applying EVR if I boot into recovery. Odd..
XEU and BTU are the same. Also, all unlocked variants of the S8/S8+ in Europe share a common "merged" CSC, OXM, which will activate the proper CSC based on the first SIM card inserted (hence why it's important to insert a SIM before first boot). XEU is the new BTU, so just live with it.
The device also has its stock CSC code burned into it, so even though you can flash another CSC, it will always know what the original CSC was.

Latest BTU SM-G950F firmware from http://fw.updato.com
Updates should be fine and also released a lot sooner as there's no waiting for EE to release them. Wi-Fi calling is fine too.

Yeah, there are quite a few places on my daily travels that would not have any signal without Volte unfortunately. I am one of those in the minority that use their phone for calling
If I didn't I would have left it on BTU for sure. Unfortunately, county wide, EE seem to have the best coverage and speed.

S7 edge Oreo update pulled?

I never recieved an update to oreo o.t.a having an unlocked s7 edge. I spoke to vodafone who is my network provider who was first to roll out the update and told me the update has been pulled due to there being so many issues with the update. Bit annoyed now as some people seem to have updated with no problems at all and it looks like some of us may not see oreo at all on our devices.

This really looks ridiculous for me, to be honest. My dad has A5 2017 and he received Oreo last week. It's really a shame that flagship S7/S7 edge is facing this poor software update policy. I also saw that Note 8 users still haven't received Oreo. On Samsung Turkey webiste Oreo is listed in testing phase and date of release is set for May 18. I wouldn't be surprised if they delay it again.
They test Oreo on cheaper devices to get less complains. And less financial risk if the update goes wrong.
Also, usually the people that buy flagship devices usually "upgrade" selling those to second hand market. That's why the manufacturers don't update those devices so quickly - to push the "high rollers" to buy the new phones that have the newest bells and whistles.
Yes its been pulled back from the server for now. Can't say how much more delay is there for the worldwide rollout, but chances are near the end of may it will start rolling out again alongwith may security patch globally.

Yes, you received the ROM from UK.
It is expected that you have no problem, except the VOLTE that is specified region (you have to have a CSC from the region where the phone will be used).
There is no CSC from Brazil on 8.x yet and I do not know if previous CSC are compatible.

questions about my Galaxy S8 U.S unlocked version

Hello guys,
I bought my Galaxy S8 last year from BestBuy New York, and I need your help to figure out my issues:
- Is there a different between SM-G950U and SM-G950U1? My phone is SM-G950U1.
- I currently live in UK and till now I haven't received the last software update -Android Pie- that I'm supposed to get in late April! and have't received any security patches updates either!!
- Bixby voice is not working at all, it stopped working 4 months ago and I don't know why! I talked to Samsung US and Samsung UK and they have no clue, we tried many different way to fix it but we had no luck. I factory reset my device twice without any success either.
So please you're my last hope here to solve my issues. I'm ready to answer any questions that you might have in mind regarding my phone.
Thanks,
Yusuf.

I was gonna do it but it's too risky, besides I wanna know why I don't get updates?

There's almost no chance you're going to find out why you're not getting updates. If your phone isn't updating automatically you can either download the entire latest firmware and flash it with Odin or go to firmware.science and download the individual OTA files then flash them in recovery manually one by one.

More than likely you don't have that original carrier sim in it. My Verizon phone won't get updated on my daughter's TracFone sim. But when i pop in the Verizon sim it updates

I know that if I come back to U.S and insert any SIM from any major mobile company it'll be updated immediately, however, when I was in Saudi Arabia - my home country - lat year, it updated to Oreo back then, so why I got the update while I'm in Saudi and not in UK?
