S7 Edge debrand and use in other country - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi, I have a S7 Edge witch is from Vodafone UK and I want to use it in Poland, it is a good idea to flash this firmware?:
Model SM-G935F
Model name Galaxy S7 edge
Country Poland
Version Android 7.0
Changelist 12365438
Build date Tue, 17 Oct 2017 05:28:35 +0000
Security Patch Level 2017-10-01
Product code XEO
PDA G935FXXU1DQJ3
CSC G935FXEO1DQJ3
I also want to get rid of Vodafone stuff (debrand), and use is like a unlocked device, non-rooted, official, receive ota updates etc...
There are some risks if I flash other country firmware in country specific device? should not do that?
It is better to look for SM-935U firmware and flash this?
The device is network locked and I will unlock it with NCK code, I will be able to use it in Poland with any SIM?
Thank you all.

I think I posted in wrong place. can someone move it please?

Yes you can flash, you are on 935F International model, so yes. You don't need to root to flash via ODIN. Generally speaking region based ROM's are more optimized for language, LTE bands, but the rest of the release notes are more or less the same across regions.
Thanks my friend. Any benefits from this firmware, or its mostly the same? what are the differences?
Anyone can chim in?
i know i'm late but i wanna chime in cuz noone else has. If the model's the same, you can flash any of it & it will work just fine, data/calls etc no problems. The only things is that you'll get the latest security patches from Google if you flash it. Oh, using Odin to flash stock firmware will never trip the Knox counter and it is almost impossible to mess it up totally. I mean at worst, you did it wrong and it fails, or you have to flash it again.
Also getting a newer firmware can give you bug fixes & newer features too sometimes. Choosing your region/countries CSC might help for Languages for the keyboard etc, but not really needed, just as long as you flash International sm-G935F with another sm-g935F. hope this helps

How to proceed with install branded ROM from my operator in order to get WifiCalling?

Hi Guys,
My telephone operator has run Wifi Calling feature only for branded phones from their own distribution (PLAY telecom from POLAND).
I have my Galaxy S7 EDGE from other distribution and other country.
I've found software from my operator here on UPDATO . COM portal
SM-G935F
Country/Region Poland (Play)
Product Code PRT
OS VersionMarshmallow(Android 6.0.1)
Release Date20.09.2016
PDAG935FXXU1BPH6
CSCG935FPRT1BPH1
PhoneG935FXXU1BPH1
This is exactly what I need and this can be awesome to run Wifi Calling by install branded software (they have other own implementations of WIFI Calling).
The question to you guys: How to proceed with the most clear installation to get software like in branded phones? What I should select in ODIN?
I have to clear all data and install above and change CSC to PRT because my phone has other CRC.
What do you thing? Is it make sense?
This is official software so I shouldn't lost warranty?
Thanks,
Mateusz
Looking for a similar answer for using T-mobile (US) network with the international S7 edge (SM-G935F).
The latest INS (india) firmware for G935F apparently had wifi calling support, any way I can make it work with my carrier in US?
Is that possible to check if below firmware is multi-csc or single csc and which csc are inculded inside?

SM-G950FD ARO region firmware doesn't exist

Hello fellas,
I have just bought a brand new S8 dual sim, or SM-G950FD, made in Vietnam.
After inserting the 4g chip, the device rebooted and downloaded the config for my mobile operator, which appears to be the config for the F variant and not the FD (see attachments below).
It works fine, but the region ARO (Argentina unbranded) does not have a firmware for this model, and the security patch is from August 2017. So the question is, can I flash the stock version for the FD, region XXV (Vietnam unbranded)? Or is it better if I try ZTO (Brazil unbranded)?
Moderator from Sammobile said firmware from any region for this model should work, as long as the PDA and CSC contain FXX and OMX on their codes respectively.
Could you please help me out a little?
Thanks!
2nd attempt to add screenshots.
There is no need to flash anything if your phone is running ok. I have the duo in the UAE and it also shows only "F" not "FD".
I was getting security updates almost every month but not since August.

CONVERTING S7 edge T-MOBILE (SM-935T) S7 Edge to (SM-G935U)

Hi Everybody,
I need help in converting my S7 edge T-Mobile version to the U-Firmware in Pakistan.
Background: I got a T-Mobile S7 Edge. But the device was not performing OTA updates and the while starting the phone there was no T-Mobile logo so maybe a alternative Firmware was Flashed in some time. I have flashed the stock T-Mobile ROM on my phone and now it shows the T-mobile logo but my 4G is not working and the issue with the OTA updates reamins.
Model SM-G935T
Model name Galaxy S7 edge
Version Android 7.0
Changelist 12142063
Build date Tue, 02 Jan 2018 02:56:46 +0000
Security Patch Level 2018-01-01
Product code TMB
PDA G935TUVS4BRA1
CSC G935TTMB4BRA1
Task: I now want to install the SM-G935U firware on my t-mobile. As i want to get rid of all the blotware and i have heard that the U-Firmware is lighter and faster and battery improves alot as well. And probably make the 4G work again ?
The problem: I have read a thread that the U-Firmware does work in T-Mobile in Pakistan from a different forum. But i don't know which Country to select on the countries tab before downloading the firmware ? And will the U-Firmware allow me to run 4G again ?
I am searching SM-G935U on sammobile. On the first page i select T-Mobile USA from the list ( Is this correct ), secondly i dont know which location to select on the second page.
Any help will be appreciated.

I remember reading on the S8 Whirlpool forum people had flashed XSA onto Optus phones & also Kogan ones (but not sure of Kogan country source or exact S8 version or which CPU version, but should work I believe, so should be OK, but research for yourself. Those locked American carriers seem to cause a lot of hassle, not that I've much knowledge about them!)
