Hi all, I've had a look and can't seem to find anything on the forums, but if you can point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated!
I've been flashing for years but never really been in this situation, as this is the first phone I've not rooted.
So here it is:
I've a completely stock, never-rooted S7 Edge on the XEU CSC.
I'm not getting the latest update and I'd like to have it, I'm stuck on Beta 5 (I was a part of the Beta Program).
I'd like to flash the latest availiable 7.0 firmware in ODIN.
My question is:
Would I still get OTA updates AFTER I've flashed the firmware in ODIN considering my phone is COMPLETELY STOCK and has NEVER been rooted?
Thank you very much!
P.S Sorry again if I've missed something in the forums, I tried searching and couldn't find an answer.
Thank you!
Stock roms get OTA updates. Only rooting breaks that.
Yes you would continue to get OTA when flashing update via Odin.

You will get OTA updates on the XEU timeline. Your CSC is XEU and it will stay XEU if you flash Official Nougat. Hence, if BTU then get updated in the future, you will have to wait until it is released for XEU

So as long as I update to an XEU firmware I'd still get the updates? But not if I update to a BTU one?
Just clarifying.
Also, thank you for the speedy reply!
Hello,
I have a brand new S7 Edge, non-rooted. I would like to have the official Nougat, but the update by OTA ist still not available for my device. I would try it with Odin, but where can I get the official firmware (german, non-branding device (DBT?))?
Thanks for your help

So you must wait until it´s released.......or you can flash via odin the BTU(OXA) Nougat or the (german)Vodafone VD2.(if you flash the BTU(OXA_MultiCSC), you will get the active DBT CSC)(but flash the normal CSC not Home_CSC)

When you flash official Nougat, you are flashing OXA CSC. This CSC is a "multi" CSC which contains multiple CSC. This OXA CSC actually contains BTU, XEU, NEE, DBT and a few more.
If you flash a multi CSC and you are already on one of the contained CSC (So in your case, you are on XEU CSC and flashing a "multi" CSC that also contains XEU) then your CSC will not change, your phone will see that you are coming from XEU CSC and so it will pick that CSC when you flash the multi CSC.
You won't actually have BTU CSC, which means you will only receive updates when XEU CSC receives them. BTU normally receives updates before XEU so most people like to change to BTU. It isn't a must though.
So to clarify, if you flash official Nougat, you will get OTA updates when XEU CSC users receive it. If you want to CHANGE your CSC to BTU then that involves multiple flashes.

Hey,
My phone was on the XEU csc code and not getting the nougat update either. I am not rooted either. I wanted to update to nougat. So I went to sammobile and downloaded the BTU firmware. I downloaded the newest lollipop version so as to make it update to nougat ota. When flashing I read some where that to keep ota functionality not to flash csc home in odin but just the normal csc file that is inter zip folder along with the other files. Once flashed and phone had been setup, I went to settings and about phone and checked for updates, my phone then proceeded to update to nougat sucesfully.

Your welcome, just to let you know, I should of said this will completely wipe your device so do a backup of your photos and things on your phone memory and just take your sd card out to be safe.

I've applied the late January 2017 BTU update via Odin and used the regular CSC file (not home CSC) which wiped everything out and all is working well - but I would have expected the latest BTU update to have been applied OTA and it hasn't shown as available. My CSC is still showing up as XEU on the phone too which I guess is the cause for this? Did I do something wrong when applying the BTU update?

So I have the XEU and I'm prepared to flash twice in order to change the CSC. Which firmware should I first flash in order to keep the BTU CSC when I flash that secondly?

Hello,
i have a belgian S7 edge and flashed a while ago the british nougat beta firmware.
yesterday i wanted to go back to my countries own firmware but was still marshmallow on sammobile.
so i installed this version using odin.
but when i did a recovery and wiped everything it installed german apps and the language was in german.
i tought that my CSC wasnt correct so i only flashed the CSC from the marshmallow rom for my country but the problem remains.
now i have multi CSC but i only want one and that is CSC PRO (Belgium Proximus)
how can i fix this? i tried the code with *#27*imei# but nothing works?
because of this problem i cannot use VOLTE on my own operator.
You need to flash a totally different CSC that is not multi csc with re partiton enabled in Odin... then flash the csc you want to be on again with re partition enabled in Odin.
And which csc shpuld i choose for example?

Try flashing a KSA CSC firmware (Saudi Arabia) and then flash the CSC firmware you want
I also have the same problem. Last month I flashed a BTU firmware because I haven't got the Nougat update yet here in the Philippines and I really wanted to try out the Nougat update as soon as it started rolling out in UK. This month the Nougat update finally rolled out here in the Philippines so I decided to go back to Philippine firmware which is XTC. After flashing I got the Thailand CSC (THL) even though I flashed the Philippine firmware (XTC). My s7e is not rooted and I have no plans on rooting it. Can someone help me go back to Philippine CSC? Thanks in advance.

The CSC you are trying to flash maybe part of the same firmware so you have to change to another csc entirely. Try KSA CSC firmware and flash the PRO CSC firmware
I am in the UK and my phone orgibally had XEU CSC and I wanted to flash the BTU CSC to get Nougat however because BTU and XEU were in the same firmware this meant when I flashed the BTU CSC I still had the XEU CSC.
So I flashed KSA CSC and flashed BTU CSC and now I have BTU

The KSA CSC wouldn't be part of the multi-csc you have so if you flash that and flash the firmware that has the CSC you want you should get that CSC

Find a firmware without a multi CSC I believe XSA and UK carrier firmwares all are like this.. Check the repartition box. Flash and don't use the Home CSC. Let the phone boot and then flash your multi CSC firmware. That is how I have gotten around it my S7 edge when I was trying to make Samsung Pay work.

Hey thanks for the quick reply. So just confirming before I start, you reckon below are the steps I should take?
1) Flash with a non multi-csc firmware, such as the Australian XSA (check the repartition box, and don't use HOME_CSC)
2) Reboot, then flash again with a multi-csc firmware, such as the Netherland PHN firmware.
And, when flashing do I pick all 4 files in Odin (BL, CP, AP, CSC)?
Thanks for your help.

If you want Samsung Pay works in the USA also then just flash XSA with all the files and don't use home csc and your done.
The only time I had issues is when you want to switch from a multi csc to another multi csc. Example German csc to UK csc because they use the same firmware. That is when I flashed a fixed csc then flashed a multi csc. So I could get the specific csc to work on my phone. Supposedly you can do it differently through the dialer I think. It never worked for me.
I have my s8 and my gf's s7 edge both on XSA because Samsung pay and white pages both work. Only downside is you get updates a month later then BTU.
I hope that makes sense if not pm me.
Thank you. It works as you said.
Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm in the UK and I have purchased the Galaxy S8 G950F (Exynos) from Amazon Germany for €585 which converted to £525 and is around £80 cheaper than buying in the UK but the phone came with German firmware and I would like to flash UK firmware onto the phone but what is the difference between UK BTU and XEU firmware?
Also, when flashing the firmware via Odin, should I use the CSC or Home_CSC file and what is the difference?
Thanks
There is not much difference between the 2 as far as i know i was on vod but then flashed xeu I used the pit file not the home csc

When i flashed my xeu my csc is like this xeu xeu vod that's how it is as csc code stays the same but my new active csc is xeu vod stays there as that was original csc code but i don't have an problems getting ota updates i think it was oxm file as it reset the phone i didn't use the home csc.
As you can see product is vod but my active csc is XEU.

XEU is via resellers and BTU is direct from Samsung.
When flashing make sure to use CSC, as this will repartition the phone. csc_home is to make sure data isn't wiped. But always best to wipe data when flashing a new CSC.

it´s because of Mulit-CSC.. when you don´t wipe and factory reset, you stay on your CSC.. so ITV.. when you want BTU ota´s, you need to wipe your S7 complete including factory reset

Since BTU and ITV are in same OXA CSC file you must first flash a non OXA firmware like NEE , EUR, DBT and then reflash the BTU firmware.
OXA is multi csc file. ALL in same group wont change from ITV.

Use Odin 3.13 and uncheck F. Reset Time.

Installation was a success. It didn't erase my data. 0x0
