S7 edge fails to update firmware.

I'm attempting to update my S7 edge which was purchased in Austria via an Austrian carrier, however, i have tried to update it today since a new software update is out, and it says "Failed to update firmware. Visit a Samsung service center.".
Does anyone possibly know why this occurs? If it's helpful, i enabled adoptable storage on my phone, so it might be that?
Using smart switch doesn't give me an update option
Thanks in advance

its updated but something wrong happend in the end i dont think the problem done with the system side..i guess the problem heppend in optimaizing at the end of the update..i know this cuz this happend to me ... u can make sure that the update done succesfully if u go to software info and u will find the android security patch level is 1 october.
but after that i just reflashed the stock software that came with my device and reupdated it and everything is good now

I had a similar problem. A Samsung tech told me to download SmartSwitch for PC (they also have one for mac) and update using the computer. It worked and I now have Nougat on my S7 Edge. BTW, it was slow so be patient .

Update SM-G935FD Dual Sim to Android 7 ?

I bought this phone from the USA about year and a half and I'm using it in Macedonia, Europe the whole time. It is a dual sim, but I'm not sure which country it is exactly from, Taiwan maybe I guess?
The model is SM-G935FD and the Baseband version shows: G935FXXU1APB6.
I tried updating it manually, but always says you're using the latest software version even though android 7 has came out a long time ago.
Can you tell me:
1. How can I update to android 7 ?
2. Why am I not receiving an update automatically, even though this feature was working when I bought the phone. I was getting regular updates automatically ever since I bought the phone up unti a point when the 7 came out.
3. If I update the firmware through an SD card or whatever method you suggest its best, will I continue receiving regular updates automatically after I install the v7.0 ?
4. How can I check what country is this phone from?
Lots of questions, would be glad if someone can clear these things up for me so I can understand better how this works with samsung and different countries models etc.
Thanks up front!

I wanted to mention that, but I've probably forgot. I did try Smart Switch, but it also said, latest update already installed. Any other ideas?

I'm sorry for my noobish questions, but can you please explain to me how to choose the country of my firmware? Do I need to choose a country which I currently reside in? Or do I need to choose a country for which the phone was made? I just want to use English language, even though I use it in Macedonia, Europe.
Please kindly advise. Thanks!

1. How can I update to android 7 ?
i had the exact same problem as you smart switch n ota both said i was on latest software. All you need to do is goto sammmobile download firmware for your s7 edge model if your phone is non carrier or unlocked then you can download any carrier version. after that download Odin n Samsung drivers n view an odin flashing tutorial on YouTube.
3. If I update the firmware through an SD card or whatever method you suggest its best, will I continue receiving regular updates automatically after I install the v7.0 ?
I am getting all the 7.0 updates.
4. How can I check what country is this phone from?
if i remember correctly Its written on the smartphone box although u don't need to worry about the country all you need to know is the model number.
But to tell the truth there is no performance difference only ui change but still if u want to be on the latest version then use Odin. good luck.
I have flashed my s7 edge about a dozen times n haven't faced any flashing problem just be sure to use original cable n try not to use the computer while the flashing is happening. use odin in adminstrator mode n if possible kill extra background processes like chrome etc (not needed but i still do it just to be safe)

Just checked my phone with PHONE INFO app and there seems to be no CSC code?! All these field are empty:
Original CSC Code: blank
Firmware CSC Code: blank
Active CSC Code: blank
Available CSC Codes: blank
CSC Country: blank
I tried dialing *#1234# and it says:
"USSD code running"
but it shows some kind of error right after:
"connection problem or invalid mmi code"
and does not enter the menu with the CSC code. Tried restarting the phone, switching sim cards and what not.. Nothing worked and I have no clue what my CSC code is now.
My original box is gone and can't really see what country it was made for, but as far as I can remember it didn't say anything on the box. The title of the original amazon.com listing says: Internationally Sourced (Middle East/Africa/Asia) Version G935FD which doesn't say much.
I don't know what to do, I'm a bit scared to flash it with just about any country firmware. There's got to be a way to find more about this phoe CSC?

Download cpuz app from play store. From the app you will find what is your phone chipset. If it is exynos download any 935fd nougat firmware and flash it with Odin.basically 935fd is a unlock version. it's support all csc version and you will also get update how much I know.

Oneplus 6t not compatible with Samsung Wearables app

Hey all,
I tried to pair my Samsung Galaxy watch with my oneplus 6t but on Google play i get the message that it is not compatible with my device software.
I have already tried to install the APK (latest version) but no luck. When pairing it gave the same message.
I have 9.0.5 installed. Can anyone help me?

Did you unlock your bootloader or root? I had a OG Pixel with an unlocked bootloader, and even though I was on a completely stock ROM it still said it wasn't compatible. Relocked and everything was good to go.

I'm not having any issues whatsoever. I just copied the app via OnePlus switch from my old phone and it works flawlessly.
My Samsung Gear S3 connects just fine.
Rooted 9.0.5.

I just read on the Samsung website that S3 is compatible with other phones bit the Galaxy watch is not. This would be a huge problem.
Nevermind looks like i misunderstood it was regarding Samsung pay

I did indeed unlock the bootloader and rooted the device.
I removed Root that didn't make a difference.
I now restored the stock rom and locked the bootloader and it worked. It is paired. However how am i supposed to get root access now?
Any ideas?

Not having any issues with my old Gear S2 classic. Actually works better than any of the Pixel XL's I've had.

This is because the bootloader is unlocked. The Wearable app will not be available in the store if the bootloader is unlocked. You may be able to try stuff to hide that. (Perhaps like Magisk hide, and the like.)

Hi, please download the latest version of the following from apkmirror dot com (no outside URL is allowed here, so unable to post the link here:
1. Remove earlier versions Galaxy Wearable from OnePlus 6t phone.
2. Install Galaxy Wearable (Samsung Gear) app from apk mirror on the phone.
3. Install Galaxy Watch Plugin (latest version) from apk mirror on the phone.
4. Use Galaxy Wearable app to pair the watch.
So far it worked for me, yet to check more about the app, plugin and Google/Samsung Pay.

Here is the quick article i have mentioned in on post on One Plus Community.
Link: https://community.oneplus.com/thread?id=1147575390370791424
Here is the detail from the same post - Just in case if you are not able to get through the above link:

Hey, I was facing the issue with Watch 5 Pro LTE pairing with my One Plus 6 - Hope this fix will help you too.
I am using a One Plus 6 mobile as well. However, this fix I used for my new Galaxy Watch 5 Pro LTE I am a customer of Airtel (Postpaid connection Hyderabad, INDIA) and tried connecting my Watch 5 Pro LTE (And it should work for all Samsung LTE Wearables).
I had come across the following error while setting up the LTE pairing on my One Plus 6 through the latest Samsung Wearable App - Please make sure you also download Samsung watch 5 plugins besides the app.
Error: http://es1.airtel.in/samsung-entitlement/UNDEFINED
It looks like we need to initiate it from Samsung mobile and then make a smart switch to the original mobile.
I found the following from other forums:
1. Get or lend a Samsung mobile with Android 5+ models
2. Put your Airtel postpaid sim on the Samsung mobile
3. Click, "connect to new phone" in galaxy watch LTE
4. Install galaxy wearable and plugin in Samsung mobile.
5. Connect the watch to Samsung Mobile
6. Set up mobile networks in the galaxy wearable app and follow the steps(2 mins work).
7. Galaxy watch will be connected to Airtel postpaid sim.
8. Disconnect from phone or give mobile networks -> Always on, u will be able to c tower indicator and airtel in galaxy watch.
9. Change ur sim to ur one plus Mobile.
10. Click " connect to new phone" and connect with your OnePlus (or another brand)Mobile.
11. Don't attempt to do mobile network setup in OnePlus(or another brand).
12. That's it. u can use ur airtel postpaid in ur OnePlus (or another brand) Mobile and as well in your galaxy watch.
Have a great time exploring the tech
Best Regards,
Siddhartha Reddy Burri.

Have a great time of the year

S10+ SM-G975U1 international phone

I purchased a S10+ SM-G975U1 of ebay, the phone functions great. The phone is unlocked and i use this on Rogers in Canada . The only thing is when i go to software update and get the update the phone saids "registering device" and just keeps on doing that . Am i going to get updates in the future or is there a way to find out if this phone can update or not . When i update why usually saids your phone is updated , no new updates but just keeps on registering the device. any ideas
i phoned samsung and they told me this is a international phone , i live in north america . thanks
Chris

I have the same device and no issues. I don't think this is an International phone though. That model number is USA/Canada to the best of my knowledge.
You may want to factory reset it and make sure the SIM is already in it when restarting.

thanks for you reply, i already reset the phone . I went through the setup steps to copy the information from my old android phone to the samsung s10 plus. The phone functions great but the only thing is when i try to update software i get the continuous message saying " registering device" . If there is update , would i get the update from air to wifi from the manufacturer. What firmware are you running now. In you opinion keeping the phone is ok. I know the us and canada s10's are SM-G975U and yous and mine is SM-G975U1 . When you go into your settings and try to update do you get same message. Usually when you try to get a update and your phone has the best update , the phone will tell you that " you have the latest update " not keep on trying to register my device. Any suggestions would be great. I just want to know i could update when there is a new one available . thanks

Try with samsung smart switch from connecting to Pc

Samsung S8 , there's an internal error + keyboard cover isn't detectd

hi..
i just bought a new 950F s8 phone as the first thing i see is "there's an internal problem with your device"
on top of that my keyboard cover doesn't seem to be detected .
i also can't do an OTA as i'm getting "your current software version isn't supported"
i had a look around i think all these might be related to the rom, it's PIE.
the build number starts with PPR.180610.011.G950FXXU3DSC7 and ends with DSC7
so is it possible my rom isn't compatible with my country? (it's actually purchased locally)
can i install a new rom from pie 9 that will match?
is it possible that i could remain unrooted so i could play ingress (which detects rooted devices)
