I'm assuming you have a s8+ verizon unlocked? If so, then you would need verizon stock s8+ firmware. Also, what update are you referring to? Can you provide me with more info? Go to settings, about phone, software information, scroll down to service provider and tell what it says if you have verizon, it should say VZW/VZW/VZW. If it says otherwise, then I can diagnose your situation better. Also, what is your current build? Is it ending in 2BQL1? But for now I'll provide you with the 2BQL1 files & ODIN to flash.
DOWNLOAD STOCK 2BQL1:
STOCK S8+ 2BQL1
DOWNLOAD STOCK 2BQK5: (OLDER FIRMWARE)
STOCK S8+ 2BQK5
DOWNLOAD for ODIN:
ODIN v3.12.7
Once you've downloaded the following files, turn off your device, go to download mode by pressing the volume down, bixby and power button at the same time for about 5 seconds, once you get to the download mode screen, open odin, Flash the following, BL, AP, CP, CSC to Odin. Takes about 8 to 10 minutes. After that it should be fine, if the problem persists, let me know. Warning be sure to backup your files on smart switch, your data will be erased.

If it says TMB/TMB/VZW, that means the phone is originally from verizon and the carrier on that device was changed to T-Mobile. It must be changed back to Verizon, in order for it to work if it's not unlocked.
How do I change it back
How do I change it back will that downloaded link you posted work for this is what I am asking . Can you pls pls helm me I have no idea what to do and I cannot afford to buy a phone

That's normal. Once it stays on fail 32% screen, the recovery screen should appear right after that. Just wipe data, wipe cache, reboot phone and you're all set.

No that won't. If you was logged in with your account and you didn't remove it before flashing, it will ask for your log in information once again. You would have to remove your info, perform a factory reset and then flash stock firmware.

Thats the problem I'm having. My wife bought this phone from one of those facebook resell groups and the person she bought it from took the money and bailed. Is there anyway around it. I've read that reflashing the phone would do the trick.

Download the latest BTU-firmware from i.e. SamMobile
1. Install Odin 3.10.7
2. Put AP BL CP CSC in the designated slots (your device will be resetted afterwards)
If you reflash the current AP + BL + CP BUT use the Home-CSC version the device will not reset data.

You can use the firmware the henklbr posted and use the home-csc from the country u want.
I did this on a BTU csc and went to the PHN csc without erasing anything.

PHN is from my own country, it holds carrier specific stuff.
Basically you can use any CSC you want, but some CSC versions also install extra software at first boot.

If the phone works fine now i would not change anything.
If you are a flashaholic then use the latest and greatest from the link i posted.
If you just want automatic updates on a regular basis via OTA then flash BTU, chances are that this firmware will be updated quicker.

If BTU has G935FXXU1APD3 and THR has G935FXXU1APD1 does it mean the BTU version has a newer version?

In that case you must flash the stock image from BTU.
That firmware can be easily found.
But keep in mind that this will reset the phone !!!

If you want OTA then you need to setup the phone with all stock firmware.
So you need to use the CSC file and NOT the Home_CSC file.
When using the normal CSC file, the script in the CSC formats data on your phone. (factory reset)
Sure you can use Home_CSC but then you will not get OTA files, or when you get them they will fail when installing.

So you're saying if I put HOME_CSC, OTA will not work, so I MUST use original CSC file and format my data if I want to get OTAs?
No way around this without losing my data? It's a pain in the a** to format everything...

Brotuck, thank you very much for all your posts here. They have been very useful for me! I bought a Galaxy S7 online for quite a good price. Phone has worked well with no issues apart from one! Which was that it would not upgrade to the latest firmware for the S7 from Samsung: G930FXXU1APD3. My phone had the upgrade ending in APD1. I did some investigation using PhoneINFO app from the Play store and turns out my phone CSC code was TRI and BGY which are Vietnam and Hong Kong! Turns out my phone is a grey market phone as I am in the UK.
I wanted APD3 because I am in the UK with the EE network which provides WiFi calling which I wanted for my my phone as I work in a building which has very poor reception but has WiFi. I read the APD3 version allows for WiFi calling. I called all the Samsung helplines to get my phone upgraded but no luck. Eventually I thought to go the DIY route and found this thread! I was quite wary of downloading and updating my phone using the Odin method and thought long and hard several times fearing I would brick my phone! However last night I bit the bullet and updated!! You will be happy to know thanks to this thread, and various others I Googled, the phone upgraded with no issues (so far!). I can now see the WiFi toggle in the Phone settings!!! I used the full csc code and not the Home code and so had to add all my stuff back on the phone again but that was not too bad as I had backed up my phone using Smart Switch.
I have just one question though: My phone now shows Bootloader, PDA and CSC versions as G930FXXU1APD3 but the Baseband version is still showing: G930FXXU1APD1. Is this correct. Does the Baseband version not update with the latest firmware?
Many thanks again.
Best CSC for VOLTE - VIDEO CALLING - ATT
I am on ATT Network using the G935F - and I am curious if there is a CSC I can flash that would enable me to take advantatage of ATT VOLTE and VIdeo Calling from the main phone dialer apk?
I know I can use hangouts - but it would be simpler to use the regular dialer and I really would like the benefits of VOLTE if I can get them....
I understand that not all providers or all areas offer VOLTE or Native Video Calling for that matter but I beleive that some do - I Just don't knwo which ones?
Any suggestions?

It really depends on the used firmware you installed. It is very possible that PD1 is the baseband version.
Don't worry about it. If it all works fine, do not mess with it.

hello, i am from India. I recently bought a new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Duos. FEW DAYS AGO (ABOUT 2-3 DAYS) i updated it to latest version over OTA. I tried to root it by CF Auto root but something broke and it transferred my device in bootloop so i downloaded and flashed a stock rom G935FXXU1APB6_G935FOLB1APB6_XSP_FULL using Odin. My device started but i figured out that the rom is Singaporian version and its a March upgrade and i could not update it also. I am also having wifi connectivity issues. My old rom was perfect. It was preinstalled by Company. Please help me or please give me a link of my model's official stock rom rather than Sammobile ( i tried sammobile but my connection refuses and also speed too low )

Download and install USB drivers for Samsung Galaxy S7 edge in your computer.
Make sure to take backup of any important files on your smartphone.
Enable USB debugging option by pressing Menu > Settings > Applications. Navigate and tap on Developer Options to ensure that USB Debugging is enabled.
Ensure that your Galaxy S7 edge carries more than 70% of charge.
Highly Credible Leak Points At Early Samsung Galaxy S7 Launch Date
Unzip Odin on your computer and install it.
Unzip firmware zip file in the same folder as Odin.
Switch your Samsung Galaxy S7 edge off and boot it in Download mode: press and hold Volume Down and Power together and then press the Home key. OR, check how to enter Download Mode.
Open Odin and connect your smartphone with your computer. When connected successfully, one of the ID:COM boxes will turn yellow with the COM port number after a while. (In case you don’t get it, try another USB port. If that doesn’t help either, then re-install USB drivers).
On your Odin, select files:
Click on AP and select file with AP in its name.
Click on CP and select file with MODEM in its name – ignore if you didn’t get any such file.
Click on CSC and select file with CSC in its name – ignore if you didn’t get any such file.
Click on PIT and select the. pit file – ignore if you didn’t get any such file.
Click on BL and select file with BL in its name – ignore if there is no such file.
Make sure to check Auto Reboot and F.Rest Time. Check Re-Partition only if you selected the. pit file.
Click on Start to initiate the update process.
When Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update installation is successfully completed, you will get a PASS message.
I don't know if factory reset is necessary after flash, but I did it, just in case. I attached Odin which I used.

Unless you know what you are doing and about files source/files you are flashing, then not much.. but if you are not sure, then Smart Switch can download official f/w for your specific model & flash it for you.. simplest, no brainer to recover to official f/w.

Hi
I have G935FD device, which I recently bought (the second hand one).
I notice that I have issue with GPRS data transfer... it looks like, from time to time when GPRS is active SMS sending is not possible any more (up to next power OFF of device) .
At that time I'm able to see only one GPRS range indicator.
I'm able to receive calls from both SIM cards.

Hi
Below information for anyone who have the same issue as I.
I download the newest official ROM for Android 7.0 for Poland (G935FXXS1DQHI).
I used ROM for single sim, not dual sim.
Since that I don't have any issue with SMS or GPRS any more.
MMI codes started to work back.
I still have dual sim .
Simple , now it works better !!
I got a used GT-935T phone very recently in India, which was still running android 6.0. On browsing these forums, I found out that we could flash stock rom on it without rooting, so I did so using Odin. I flashed the stock rom of Android 7.0 for t-mobile 935T, which was what my phone was supposed to be.
On further browsing, I also discovered, that we could flash any stock rom on the phone, irrespective of the region. So I decided to download the latest stock rom for India 935fd. I did so, but whenever I'm trying to flash it using Odin, I'm getting an error - repartition failed.
I've not checkd the repartition option.
can someone help me?

Download samfirm from here :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3803841
Enter your model no. example SM-G935F
And region code: INS
And click check for updates, it will check for latest version available for your region. Then proceed to download.
If samfirm gives some error codes, then I guess you have to use updato or sammobile. Here is the link for updato https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=C97F8A453DF911E89F15FA163EE8F90B

You know I would have never advised anyone if I haven't tested myself. You can flash without any issues, but nougat will seem much laggy, don't know why. I just experienced it after downgrading that last nougat release for my region was much laggy then it was before I upgraded to oreo. But it may just be my imagination because oreo is more responsive and faster than nougat.
Nope S2 won't hurt. The thing is that the number after alphabet is same i.e 2. S2 is update from U2. 2 must be same. Also firmware is same for both F and FD models.

Yes always enable oem unlock, just in case you may need to flash custom recovery or root, just to be safe its good thing to always keep oem unlock enabled.

!!!!WARNING!!!!!! TOO LONG!!
Thank you for your help but this post did not work for me. After downgrading and trying many times to get imei i flashed the FACTORY BINARY but nothing i had lost modem and did not have baseband and NVDATA.
so with my heart rate @ a billion beats/sec with thoughts of i had bricked my phone. i clam down and started trouble shooting one by one .
At this point modem was undetected odin would fail to flash any firmware.
so i downloaded latest firmware 8.0. lucky it flashed and removed the FACTORY BINARY now back to stock 8.0 with no baseband and modem firmware. I did the following;
1. Flashed latest TWRP via Odin.
2.Formatted DATA then reboot back to TWRP (more drama ) your likely to face DM verify issue like i did here flash CF auto for android 7.0 but it wont give you root for some reason.
3.back to TWRP flash SuperSu for s7edge(SR1-supersu)
4.download the NVDATA,modem,and EFS for your device google search should yield.
5.flash NVDATA,modem and EFS. then factory reset the phone in TWRP
7.wait for many dramatic reboots,(reroot if you lost root)
8. then download and install ROOT BROWSER
still no network in my case at this point. i waited 20mins.
9.browse to the EFS folder in root. delete everything except **FACTORY APP**and **PROV-DATA**
10.do a full reboot
11.if no network like me, go to TWRP and factory reset.
12.sit back sip coffee and wait..
THIS IS WHAT WORKED FOR ME (G935F) i have since flashed back stock rom and rerooted and i have not lost IMEI again am now running a custom rom since 3hours ago still IMEI and network is strong. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BRICK YOUR PHONE I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE. DO AMPLE RESEARCH BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS METHOD MAKE SURE ALL FILES ARE FOR YOUR DEVICE. ALWAYS KEEP LATEST STOCK ROM WITH YOU.
Could you tell me which rom should I flash on s7 edge locked to three UK? I bricked my phone. Don't have backup.
---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------
Don't have a backup. G935F on three UK. G935FXXS2DRA9 is what sammobile shows. But due to a scam on their website I can't create an account for 'free' download. Could you send a link with another download? Thanks

Thats because you were flashing older bootloader version on a newer bootloader..
Download this https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=6CF8552A10BC11E89F15FA163EE8F90B
Flash it using odin 3.13.1 , also be sure to use CSC file and NOT the home_CSC..

I was able to bring my s935f to life but unfortunately imei and signal is gone... Now, the fact is that I had same situation with my note5 in the past and...…. have given up due to lack of ideas how to fix such complicated thing like bringing back imei. Have tried all apps from play store-/rubbish. Even today I still have that motherboard in my drawer.
BUT s7 edge looks so great that I would take a chance to fix it if anyone my kind members could provide me with instruction explaining how to do this on basic knowledge level.
I know how to flash rom using Odin., how to install usb drivers, unlock oem, usb debugging,, how to flash twrp, root the phone...… but I struggle with the knowledge about 'pit file' (what the heck is that? because my odin 3.13.1 doesn't have pit file slot which I have seem on youtube movie....) ,I am confused with the fact that I can flash let say csc ,file in AP slot in din? Ums, …. Anotherwords wouldn't be a HUGE PROBLEM if the steps given on youtube or google work!!! But they don't!!! I mean my note5 here. So I am fully aware that simple looking instruction may bring a lot of hidden problems such as 'your rom flashed ok on youtube but my exactly the same phone and rom faild…. and now the Game starts when you read on google multiple solution and non of them work for you because you missed some small detail that wasnt mentioned in the movie because that was so obvious to creator. Looking back on my previous playing with roms I can say that IS ALWAYS SOMETHING ………. so I expect a lot of stress.
If YOU know or did it before how to make my phone great again, tell me please. Otherwise this pretty beast will end up mining electroneum.... Thanks

New Method:
Install Google Phone app and key-in *#*#27262826#*#*

Hi!
I successfully changed CSC from TGY to BRI and vice versa on my SM-N9860/DS.
From N9860ZSU1ATH1 ROM, I just flashed my unit back to the N9860ZSU1ATGM (stock firmware with July security patch) using Odin and then change CSC using the Change CSC app by Mysterious Dev.
Download Links:
N9860ZSU1ATGM or N9860ZSU1ATGM MEGA Download
Change CSC Windows App
Important notes and instructions:
Tested only when coming from N9860ZSU1ATH1 TGY/BRI ROM.
Factory Reset is required when flashing N9860ZSU1ATGM. If you are new to Odin flashing, check this thread first. Use the CSC_OMC_OZS_*** file instead of the HOME_CSC_OMC_OZS_*** on the CSC slot in Odin. You can use the latter but reset is still required.
After flashing is done and and your phone has completely booted, open the Samsung Themes app and login your samsung account, update the app if ask.
Before doing the change CSC, do the following first:
Enable developer mode on your phone and enable USB debugging
Disconnect your phone from internet.
Connect your phone to your PC using USB data cable and allow PC connection on your phone once prompted.
Turn-off your windows PC anti-virus before installing and opening the Change CSC app (the app is being detected as a virus)
If the Change CSC app is not opening properly, you need to run it as administrator.
On the Change CSC app, click "Check" > "Connect" > Select "Android 10" > Click "Change CSC". Go to your phone and click "Check out my stuff". Then follow the instructions shown on your windows desktop. Select the 'Android 10' option in the Legal Settings. Select the CSC that you want to test (BRI or TGY) and install. Click "Remove Change CSC" once done.
Turn-on you windows anti-virus back.
This will not trip knox if followed accordingly.
Do these procedures at your own risk!
After changing to BRI, I was able to update my phone to N9860ZSU1ATH1 OTA.
With BRI, I am already getting the 4G Carrier Aggregation on my unit here in the Philippines (which was not happening previously with TGY).
CA makes a significant difference on my unit. I now have 70-125mbps with it. Without it, it barely hovers 20mbps.
I have not tested the 5G yet. I have no 5G signal in my place yet.

Thanks a lot. 5G works in Switzerland (Sunrise) on slot 2 only, but both sim cards can be activated.
Am I on ATH1 or ATH2? Can I go ahead with changing my CSC using this method. The only reason I would want to do this is to enable call recording.
Will it be changed forever? Will I get updates and what happens when I get an update? Do I still remain with the changed CSC or does it get reverted to the stock one? Thanks & sorry for so many questions...

You can't get call recording with this ROM.
I think you can get it by flashing the N9860 rom with CHC CSC.

Does this require that your phone should still be on the Aug 1 security patch to be able to downgrade to the July security patch?
Thanks a lot, you saved me a lot of work.
May I ask what is the point in changing CSC in this case?

Glad it helps. You are on BRI on this, right? It's good to know that 5G works even both sim cards are used.
How about 4G carrier aggregation (4G+)?

In my case, networks issues. As mentioned , 4G CA was not working while I am on TGY, so with the 5G. 4G CA is working now with BRI. Haven't tested the 5G yet. My country uses the same 5G band and freq with Taiwan.

The reason I asked is that I read somewhere that you can't 'downgrade' your firmware once you are already on the Sep 1 security patch. were you on the Aug 1 patch prior to downgrading to the July patch? I'm gonna try this on my Exynos phone, I hope it works as I am still on the Aug 1 sec patch. BTW I sent you a DM. I appreciate your time. Thanks!

Kindly check your private message. I asked you something about the firmware. I want to share with everyone if indeed I got it right. Thanks.
Was reading carefully but my question is
CSC changer can change borrowing exynos CSE on Snapdragon? I want to change KOR (KOO) to UK BTU.
Why? This will fix region problems and samsung daily will focus on UK news rather then korean.

I don't think it will work. Exynos and SD use different modem hardware.
You will have a good chance if from the same chipset.
IT works. Still after updating to the latest firmware (Ota), the 5g mark doesn't show up anymore. Still it seems I'm on 5g given my speed test. Did anyone else notice that?
@Tribalfs I want to thank you for this. Since your guide is for the SD version, I made a thread for the Exynos version.

Ows! That's absurd Samsung.
WARNING: THIS PROCESS WILL RESET YOUR PHONE TO FACTORY STATE. BACKUP YOUR FILES BEFORE YOU PROCEED. YOU MAY DOWNLOAD SAMSUNG SMART SWITCH HERE
I finally got my CSC back!
What I needed:
1. Official July Security Firmware - Because the CSC Changer will only work if you have a firmware lower than the August Security Firmware
Since I wanted the XTC firmware back, I downloaded the OXM firmware with multi-CSC N986BXXU1ATGI file here Warning, very slow download speed.
Since the security policy for both firmware hasn't changed yet, I was able to downgrade my firmware, from the current one on my phone N986BXXU1ATH3 to the older one N986BXXU1ATGI
@Aresnalove confirmed that he was able to downgrade from the September patch without issues.
You can use ANY one of these firmware. They're basically 'OXM with multi CSC
MEGA Links:
XTC-N986BXXU1ATGI
INS-N986BXXU1ATGI. Big Thanks to @keieva
GDRive Link:
XTC-N986BXXU1ATGI
2. CSC Changer App (Windows Installer). Here are additional links containing a compressed format that you can choose from if the first link is not working: 2nd LINK and 3rd LINK. (Disable your antivirus before downloading as it's being tagged as a virus.)
3. Odin 3.14.4 to flash the firmware. (Instructions here, thanks to @henklbr)
What I did:
• Removed my SIM cards from my phone.
• Disabled my antivirus before installing the CSC App changer in Windows.
• Disconnected my PC from the internet.
• Flashed the N986BXXU1ATGI firmware and proceeded with the phone setup without inserting my SIM cards and connecting to the internet.
• Installed the CSC Changer and followed this video - Your phone will update the Store App. You need to connect to the internet temporarily. As soon as the update is
complete, disconnect. The 'theme' should show "Try Now" to work. If you continue to be connected to the internet, it will show "Buy" and it will not work.
• I selected the 'Android 10' option in the Legal setting (You will see 3, one for Android 8, Android 9 and Android 10)
• After selecting my CSC and the phone restarted, I got my CSC back to XTC from DBT where I got stuck
• I again flashed my phone to the latest firmware N986BXXU1ATH3.
• Turned back on my PC's antivirus.
• The *#272*IMEI# code works again on my phone on the latest XTC firmware, (see attachment for available CSC codes). Kindly get back and check if this code works after successfully changing your CSC.
TIPS:
• After changing to your choice of CSC, check first if the features that you want are there and working. This will give you another chance to change your CSC using the CSC App changer.
• If you are satisfied with the results, you can then upgrade your phone to the latest Security patch by downloading the file for your phone using Frija and then flash with Odin.
• Some prefer a full reset of their phone, others prefer to keep their files and settings. If you want to keep your files and settings use the HOME_CSC instead.
CAVEAT: This process worked for me. Again, I would like to reiterate that I needed to downgrade my firmware to pre-August 1 Security Upgrade for the CSC app changer to work.
This process will not trip Knox because you are flashing an official firmware and the CSC app did not affect Knox as well. OTA update works. Your chosen CSC will be retained even after an update - unless of course, you decided to change your CSC manually.
I would like to thank @tribalfs for giving me an idea how I could change my CSC, specific for the Exynos version.
If anyone knows where I could upload the N986BXXU1ATGI firmware aside from MEGA, kindly let me know. Or you can upload and share, too!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those who want the built-in Call Recorder feature, these CSC's have them:
INS
THL
SLK

Be warned though that if you change your CSC, some of your service provider's features may not work properly. Do it at your own risk.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A favor to ask from those who successfully changed their CSC using this process. Can you kindly check with the default Caller App if the *#272*IMEI# code now works? I will update this list.Thanks!
1. XTC (Pre and with Sept 1 Update) works
2. THL (Pre and with Sep 1 update) does NOT work (thank you @ChoSmile)

I finally got my CSC back!
What I needed:
1. July Security Firmware - Because the CSC Changer will only work if you have a firmware lower than the August Security Firmware.
Since I want the XTC firmware, I downloaded the XOM file N986BXXU1ATGI here Warning, very slow download speed.
Faster download link MEGA. Big Thanks to @marvin6six6
2. CSC Changer App (Windows Installer) (Disable your antivirus)
3. Odin to flash the firmware.
What I did:
• Removed my SIM card from my phone.
• Disabled my antivirus before installing the CSC Changer.
• Disconnected my PC from the internet
• Flash the N986BXXU1ATGI firmware and proceeded with the phone setup without inserting my SIM cards and connecting to the internet.
• Installed the CSC Changer and followed this video
• I selected the 'Android 10' option in the Legal setting (You will see 3, one for Android 8, Android 9 and Android 10)
• After selecting my CSC and the phone restarted, I got my CSC back to XTC from DBT where I got stuck
• I again flashed my phone to the latest firmware N986BXXU1ATH3
• The *#272*IMEI# code works again on my phone on the latest XTC firmware
CAVEAT: This process worked for me. Again, I would like to reiterate that I needed to downgrade my firmware to pre-August 1 Security Upgrade for the CSC app changer to work.
I would like to thank @tribalfs for giving me an idea how I could change my CSC, specific for the Exynos version.

What I needed:
1. Official July Security Firmware - Because the CSC Changer will only work if you have a firmware lower than the August Security Firmware.
Since I wanted the XTC firmware back, I downloaded the N986BXXU1ATGI XOM file here Warning, very slow download speed.
Faster download link will be posted soon. Big Thanks to @marvin6six6
2. CSC Changer App (Windows Installer) (Disable your antivirus)
3. Odin 3.14.4 to flash the firmware. (Instructions here, thanks to @henklbr)
What I did:
• Removed my SIM cards from my phone.
• Disabled my antivirus before installing the CSC App changer in Windows.
• Disconnected my PC from the internet.
• Flashed the N986BXXU1ATGI firmware and proceeded with the phone setup without inserting my SIM cards and connecting to the internet.
• Installed the CSC Changer and followed this video
• I selected the 'Android 10' option in the Legal setting (You will see 3, one for Android 8, Android 9 and Android 10)
• After selecting my CSC and the phone restarted, I got my CSC back to XTC from DBT where I got stuck
• I again flashed my phone to the latest firmware N986BXXU1ATH3 for my phone.
• The *#272*IMEI# code works again on my phone on the latest XTC firmware, (see attachment for available CSC codes).
CAVEAT: This process worked for me. Again, I would like to reiterate that I needed to downgrade my firmware to pre-August 1 Security Upgrade for the CSC app changer to work. This process will not trip Knox because you are flashing an official firmware and the CSC app did not affect Knox as well.

Great tutorial. When I completed mine earlier this morning I didn't need to disconnect the Internet. Was that just a precaution you took?
I'll have a link ready for the firmware that people can use soon. Its the INS version but all CSC's are in there if you want me to share.

Yes. I don't feel safe running the CSC Changer App. Hence I made sure it did not connect to the internet.
Kindly share the faster link for the firmware so we could help everyone. I appreciate it. Thanks!

Hey guys, does anybody know will this method make samsung pay work? I've tried changing firmware to the country where it is supported, but odin always got stuck at super.img, I almost turned my phone to a brick. Fortunately installing original firmware back fixed the problem. Then I've tried the resetting with sim from the country where samsung pay is supported, but it didn't work either.
thanks, 6 hours waiting to download July patch FW. Two threads with IDM 300kb/s
I should have changed csc right away with new phone week ago (with july patch)

Can September security firmware be downgraded?
Hi,
I have already the September security patch applied based on my initial attempt to change the csc to general country version instead of carrier firmware. Can I still downgrade to the old firmware or will I brake my phone?
That's The software version:
N986BXXS1ATH9
[mention]BlinkThinks [/mention] Thanks for the guide. It works!

The problem is I couldn't find a July update for my phone's (N985F/DS) original firmware on sammobile.com. And flashing another regions firmware went horrible last time. It's seem like i'm out of luck.

I'm glad it worked for you as well. VoLTE and WiFi calling is back on our XTC phones
