Change FW / CSC - Impacts on services - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello,
I have a Galaxy S8 Dual Sim (SM-G950FD) with Malaysia FW and CSC ("XME"), but I live in Italy. No issue so far.
Because I would like to use Samsung Pay (that returns me a connection error), I would like to flash an Italian FW/CSC.
Which are the impacts of this operations? In particular on:
- Knox
- Dual SIM management (in Italy there is no SM-G950FD, but only SM-G950F -no dual sim-)
Thanks!
Regards

[Q] About updating from 4.2.2 to 4.3 using odin

Hi All,
Ive searched and searched and cant find anything, i have just acquired a SGS4, I9505.
First of all... you will need to know this:
AP: I9505XXUDMGG
CP: I9505XXUDMGG
CSC: I9505VFGDMG3
Im on a understanding that this is on Voda (UK) software, however the handset isnt locked to Vodafone. I recieved this second hand and have a Three network sim on it.
My question:
I see on Samsung-updates.com and SamMobile that there are loads of 4.3 software variants available to download and flash, would i specifically need to look for a MGG one? (If so i can only find 4.2.2 ones) or would any UK Variant work? I was wanting to try this before i think about Custom romming the handset. . . Also, if i am available to do this would it lock the phone to Vodafone (If the handset was ever unlocked before i got it)
Thanks in Advanced guys.

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.

How to make Samsung Pay and Volte work on S8 purchased from UAE for use in India?

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

SM-G935F: Flashing different region ROM

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: SM-G935F
Hello everyone,
So the reason I'm asking for guidance and not straight up trying what I found is because this is my only phone and I cannot risk or afford fixing it if things hit the fan like i'd do with a spare or an old phone.
In addition the region code attached to it, the code is carried by different carriers and countries in the Gulf Area, some of which received Android 8 and some haven't. However since my phone wasn't purchased from STA, saudi telecom, I don't believe it received the updates distributed to the country,. So currently my phone was bought from a distributor in Saudi Arabia, which usually carries codes from different gulf countries. That region apparently hasn't received updates since earlier this year.
I'd appreciate just simple guidance for this process to get it right.
However I do LIVE in the UK and I would like to flash my phone to a UK region, I'm unsure which code to use and what files I would need to place in Odin.
Phone info:
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: SM-G935F, Unlocked (They usually require you to use a local sim card for a 5 minute call after which it's fully unlocked)
CSC: G935F0JV1DQIL
AP: G935FXXU1DQJ8
CP:G935FXXU1DQIL
Would it be possible to flash to UK BTU as they receive more frequent updates?
I don't know if this has any bearing but I'm using a Three sim card at the moment.. However I have used around 8 different sim cards/companies in this phone since i purchased it.
I would appreciate any advice on what files to place into Odin if I want to keep my data. (Or if I have to completely wipe it?) or shall I switch to another up-to-date OJV country like Emirates (UAE)?
Also i'm not sure what home_csc file is.
hope to hear from you guys soon.

good day
I purchased my device SM G935FD from Oman with CSC XSG (part of multiple CSC OJV middle east and some African countries). Even though I received OTA, I always install the full firmware upon officially released.
I upgraded my device from Android 7.0 to 8.0 using UK BTU firmware, the availability of which came first.
In short I downloaded the firmware from Updato (Sam Mobile slow and lagging) for the BTU firmware. Just to be sure you have to download the correct and appropriate firmware and also the latest Odin (Odin3v3.13.1) which was upgraded by Samsung to be utilized for Android 8.0 and higher versions.

Also, be sure to activate your Developers options and enable USB debugging and unlock OEM. Using Home_CSC will retain your user data while using CSC only will factory reset your device and start anew.

About Knox tripping?
Hello, I'm expecting to do something like this to my phone, but I'm wondering, will it trip Knox? Because you're changing the ROM, so I don't know
