Find a UK firmware on https://www.sammobile.com/ and flash with Odin. Your warranty will be fine.

Hi. I bought s7 edge in Thailand.
I was trying to find its stock firmware to get my phone a new fresh start. So far, I only found a link to Singapore firmware.
Here is from my phone

I heard you can flash single Sim firmware into dual one, but I was just afraid and prefer original firmware (before I root it soon hahaha)
Any idea where I can find one for my Thailand model.

OLB covering Malaysia/Philippines/Singapore/Thailand/Vietnam. I believe your latest update is of February 2016
Download Phone INFO Samsung from playstore and look for the active CSC. It has got a country shown as well.
I have a FD version as well with XME (Malaysia) CSC. But from what I have researched, for Galaxy S7 Edge specifically, Samsung has been releasing OTA updates (three times; once a month since Feb) for OJV countries (Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia,South Africa, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey), XSG (united arab emirates) and EU countries (NEE=Netherland, DBT=Germany, LUX=Luxembourg so far)
I have decided to flash the DBT firmware as from the look of firmware updates trend, Galaxies with DBT receive the earliest and most frequent updates from Sammy. Everything is working fine. No Knox triggered. Not too sure about the warranty; i guess it doesn't matter that much since samsung only looks at whether your knox has been triggered.
Good luck
thank you
can I flash German firmware only PDA or i have to flash CSC and MODEM too?
I currently own an Australian Optus carrier variant of Galaxy S7 Edge (OPS) and want to install an Australian unlocked variant of Galaxy S7 Edge (XSA) since unlocked variant has recieved 2 updates since its launch but carrier variant has received none..
1. So my question is will this trip my KNOX Warranty and will it disable my Samsung Pay app use?
2. Also, if I install another country's Galaxy S7 Edge firmware that has the same model number, will this trip my KNOX Warranty and disable Samsung Pay Use?
3. Which country (code) receives the fastest new updates for the device SM-G935F?
4. Lastly, can I install a Galaxy S7 Edge firmware with a different model number? I want to try South Korean variant firmware..
You can flash any official Samsung firmware, and it won't trip Knox.
Someone else asked this earlier today: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/to-flash-generic-australian-rom-to-t3364559
Also, Samsung Pay isn't in Australia yet, and won't be for some time.
The Aussie carrier devices should get the latest update soon hopefully.

Thank you for your reply. Just one more question! I heard that if a phone is rooted, Samsung Pay app is not usable on that device afterwards so will it be the same for installing the other firmware? I know that Samsung Pay is not yet available in Australia but I would like to use it when it's launched.
Correct. Samsung Pay won't work on a rooted device.
Also, if you root, you will trip Knox. You can't use Samsung Pay on a Knox tripped device.
Even if you go back and flash stock firmware, this will not reverse Knox. This is permanent.
But if you just flash Samsung unbranded firmware over your Optus firmware, this is ok. Samsung Pay will still work.
Just to clear up something else, does your handset need to be unlocked before you can flash another official samsung firmware?

hello , i am using s7 edge G935FXXU1DQFG (united kingdom vodafone) , i didnt received oreo update yet, my question is can i download firmware of any other country instead of this united kingdom vodafone ?
Helo Members!
i purchased S7 edge Sm-G935FD a month ago with currently installed firmware 6.0.1 and now i want to update it to Nougat 7.
please help me how can i chose correct official firmware for s7 edge because no OTA update available in my country ( Pakistan) and very confused and dnt know how to chose firmware Baseband /csc/etc.
i manually check on sammobile there are only 2 country listed with Nougat INDIA and Russia.
Hey,
So I too have an S7 Edge in India. The firmware's country doesn't make a difference so you can choose any country's firmware for your specific device. However, make sure it's for your carrier. You can go to www.sammobile.com and download the firmware. Then use ODIN to flash it to your phone
Hope this helped!
Hi Guys,
I am planning to buy a Galaxy S8 from Dubai and I live in India.
I have a few concerns,
One being the samsung pay and volte not working on india networks, although I read this can be managed by flashing an Indian Firmware and changing CSC or something of that sort.
I don't know the technical aspect of it at all so if someone could please guide and explain me.
Also I wanted to know the risks associated with it and also would it void my UAE warranty?
Also which model am I supposed to buy?
The G950F or the G950FD?
If someone could please walk me through the entire process.
It is cheaper by 300$ if I buy it from UAE than India so is it worth doing so?
I've a Galaxy S8 G950FD imported from UAE. Samsung Pay and 4G/LTE work fine here in India. Also, changing CSC is easy and it probably won't void your UAE warranty. To change to INS CSC, you just need to do *#272#IMEI# and then select INS CSC. If this doesn't work directly, then flash any INS firmware for G950FD using Odin and then do the *#272#IMEI# to change CSC.

How to flash the Indian firmware? Is it safe to do so I'm scared of bricking my phone.
Could you please share the method which you used and was successful for you?
Hey Guys,
I am kinda of a newbie out here.
I have purchased a Samsung Galaxy S8 G950FD from Dubai and want to use it in India.
I need the Samsung Pay and Volte to work in India.
Having read multiple threads I have understood that you have to change some CSC to India or flash the Indian firmware.
Although being a newbie I dont know how to do either and have the following questions:
1) I have read that UAE and India have the same firmware so all I have to do is change the CSC to India... How to do so?
2) Will changing my CSC code void my UAE warranty and if so is there a way to get it back?
3) After changing the CSC will I receive OTA updates and if so for which region India or UAE?
4) What are the chances of something going wrong and tripping knox, my phone is brand new and I want to make sure everything works fine.
If someone could please explain me in layman terms what CSC is and how the process of changing it works and answer my questions.
I will be truly grateful.
Thank you
