Hey everyone! I have probably a simple problem that I can't seem to figure out, so I'll ask the people of XDA.
So recently I had a network locked phone (to Fido) that also had some carrier stuff (ex. I can't uninstall spotify), so I got the network unlock code, put it in, it worked, now I can put any SIM in. Great!
Now I decide to flash the stock firmware for the Canadian variant (G935W8) to get rid of that bloatware. So I went over to XDA, downloaded the carrier free version (product code: XAC) and flashed it using Odin.
I placed the BL, AP, CSC, and CP files in the corresponding spots in Odin. It worked! I got a PASS. But, when I went to check my phone, an example app that I can't remove is spotify. Is anyone able to help me out, and explain why there are carrier apps still on my phone even after flashing the carrier free version? It'd be nice if I could also have a way to get rid of those apps. Thanks to anyone!!
Even in some stock unbranded roms they have apps like that,so if ur not rooted ,and u can't disable it ,try package disabler pro.

Hmm. But I thought apps like Spotify, fido app zone, etc were not preinstalled apps on the s7 stock ROM. And I've also seen friends who had the ability to remove Spotify, and they were using a wind mobile phone.

Well. I didn't lose my CSC cause it stayed the same... so i'll leave this thread open cause I really would like a way.
Edit: LOL! After a quick search, I found on Reddit a way to switch your CSC. You do so by typing in your dialer: *#272*Device IMEI#
Then you'll get a list of CSC codes. I see the XAC one, so I will choose that.

Hi there!
As 2.3.4 was released, I have some questions..
My phone is unbranded and I live in the Netherlands.
1) If I flash PDA/Phone/CSC from the 2.3.4 package, will it screw up the phone?
2) How do I fully format the phone? (I prefer when re-flashing)
Thanks in advance!

I think the 2.3.4 is not packaged as a .tar its three files. Put the low file in PDA, the csc file in csc and the remaining file in phone then flash. After flashing it will reboot automatically, it will erase data to so back up do not do anything with the. Pit, throw the. Pit file away...

If it works dont worry too much about the CSC. I have not even checked mine to see what im running Only worry if your using Kies and you like to update through Kies.
If you use the fantastic odin there is no need to worry But when 2.3.4 is released properly for your region install the proper rom then There are guides to restore your CSC in the dev section under debrand and rebrand...
I think all you have to do is hold down power button, up volume and the home button at the same time andrestore factory settings once on the rom of choice

Fire up the dialer and enter *#272*YOUR_IMEI_HERE#
Then on the upcoming screen you can change it.

and once angain with your "odin is da best".
It's time for you to understand that for many users , Kies is simple .
Odin is a nice tool and I use it a lot, but it was never intended for us End-users originally.
And it's way more easier to mess your phone with it than failling with kies when you are a first time SGS user.
This said :
Csc is used by google market mainly(with a KOR CSC you will see a lot of korean apps while searching for apps, for example).
and if i'm not wrong, for available language in Swipe too.
I need to get the CSC for my phone and *#272*Phone’s IMEI# isn't working for me.
Wondering if I'm doing it wrong or if it just doesn't work for the i9505.

Try using *#1234#
Thanks, I used that to get the firmware versions but the csc listed there isnt three characters like I thought it would be.
So i would like to confirm it another way, also *#272* is supposed to allow you to change it which i will need to do.

I'm in the same boat. running AP: i9505XXUAME2 CP:i9505XXUAMDD CSC: i9505EVRAMDB which I think means I need to update my CSC as they don't match. I just can't find out how. http://droidviews.com/2012/how-to-change-csc-in-samsung-galaxy-phones/ That guide doesn't help as the *#272*Phone’s IMEI Here# bit doesnt work. Any help would be great as well as opinons on whether there is a CSC mismatch. I'm getting sim not inserted errors that I think are related and need to pull battery, and re-insert the sim to fix this. It then triggers again after about an hour.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I gave that app a whirl. It seemed to want to auto generate the *#272*Phone’s IMEI Here# bit automatically, but was unable and set up *#272*# on the dialer, but no more. Shame.
Edit: sorry, my bad. I tried CSC Select. Let me have a go with CSC changer
I have the G935FD from UAE.
I have searched firmwares on sammobile but I think this is the same of G935F.
Could you confirm me ?
Yes it is. I even use DBT firmware for 935F in Germany, where no 935FD is on the market.
*SM-G935FD*
my battery life is not very good. i would like to update to the last firmware... and it's a little bit warm...
Which firmware are you using? I had very bad battery for the first 2 charges, barely 3 h SOT, third charge gave me good 7h SOT, so be patient and do use the app package disabler for samsung where you could disable services that only root can disable but without the need to root !!!

I did not lose dual-sim functions of SM-G935FD by using DBT-Single-Sim-Firmware for SM-G935F. But: all available firmwares are splitted into 4 parts. By flashing you lose all data, so flash before using the phone

Now the firmware contains 5 files inside.
The question is how the CSC file, what use?
With "HOME" in the name or the other?
I have used the normal CSC (including PIT-file?) and not the Home-CSC (excluding PIT-file?) and everything works like a charm.

If you root, you trigger knox -> No fingerprint, no KNOX security, no Samsung Pay...and it's permanent.
Samsung has implemented region restriction to almost all newer galaxies. If you are gonna buy from UAE and use it elsewhere, make sure you make/receive call for cumulative duration of at least 15 minutes using the middle eastern SIM card to remove the restriction. It's just a measure by Samsung to prevent grey market.

Hi folks, my wife's S7 Edge kept on freezing then rebooted itself. I tried everything to try and fix it and then performed a factory reset. All seemed fine until Google Play Services needed updating to enable other Google Apps to work. As soon as the updated Google Play Services app tries to install, the phone reboots itself and sometimes goes into a boot loop. I've taken out the memory card, cleared the cache and data in Google Play Services as well.
Can anyone help with this?
The phone is on EE in the UK.
Thanks in advance

Same problem here.. sometimes my s7 edge turns off and back on randomly.. then stuck in a boot loop.. after a while it will boot normally. But that will take like an hour or something..
I did try to remove the sd card ect.. but still the same problem.
Don't know what causes the problem.. thought I had it after a system update a or 2 month ago...
Maybe flashing a new stock Rom with firmware will work?
But I do think know if that voids the warranty or trip the Samsung knox..

Does it matter if I flash a other kind of csc ect to the Galaxy s7 edge? I have read that you are able to flash the csc home if you want to keep your data. And the csc version if you want to completely wipe all the data on the phone..
I have a galaxy s7 edge (sm-g935f) from the Netherlands.
So downloading the latest Netherlands version on Sammobile should be fine?

well from experience the files from Sammobile are just the pda files i dont think you need to flash the csc unless you're using a rom from the different region, i could be wrong but just use the Netherlands version.

This also happened to me twice, but it only did in a SPECIFIC physical location, while I had bluetooth / wifi / location services on (in Rio's Olympics, just outside of the Beach volleyball arena). I had stock rom, ZTO (Brazil) CSC. My phone is the Edge, international variant (G935F).
It got me thinking if it could be something related to a Beacon (BLE) or something like that. It never happened again, ever, only in an exact location, specified above.

bump!
Download mode shows your original Country code, no matter what CSC you flash
Turn off your phone, then press Volume Down + Bixby Button + Power button once for 4 seconds.
A blue screen will appear saying that do not flash non original firmware, press Volume Up.
A screen will come up saying at the top "ODIN MODE".
In this screen, you have some information about your device, but the one that we are intrested is a red line "CARRIER_ID: XXX"
That ID is your CSC code, no matter what firmware you install it on. Mine is PAN - the original - even though i currently have DBT installed.
and just press Volume Down + Power key for 7 seconds to restart to normal mode.
Is there anyway that you can check the AP, CP, CSC, & BL without going to download mode or recovery mode, or even going to dialer pad and dial *#1234#? I forgot to get copy of it before flashing custom rom form my Galaxy S7 and Galaxy J4+. Please helppp!!!
