Hi, and thks for the help.
I got a s7, the short history is this
1)need to change "sms center number" but it was gray colored, not editable
2) i rooted the s7 for use the root explorer and change the xml, for fix the sms center number
3 i notice that the anycast, or anyview, was not working, so need to unroot, but solve the "sms center number"
4)decide to install a cfw so not have the same problem with sms, i use the QF6 cfw in this forum.
5) i didn't know about the "pda", follow the tutorial and try to install the cfw for QF6
6) i get the recovery boot loop, my phone star and try to boot recovery, install update, and restart
7) i try to install stock fw, but i don't know the pda of my phone, and smartswitch method not work.
8) i try diferrent stock fw for the 930t
.....G930TUVS4BQL2_CL12142063_QB16000831_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta
.....G930TUVS4BRA1
.....G930TUVS4BQJ2
9) also i try with the "SM-G930T TMB pit".
what i think, i mees up the partitions of the phone, so i try the "SM-G930T TMB pit", and use the csc, that suppose to content the partition info, but the odin keep fail, the last resource is download all the fw of the 930t and test it, or what can i do
thks for the reply
Solved
Hope this help somebody how be like.
I was trying with firms for the 930T, like this "G930TUVS4BQJ2", try a lot of thems, random picked up, so i notice that the firms that i was using has the "G930T---UVS---4BQJ2", "UVS" part in it, it suppose to all firm for the 930t was for tmobile, all in the USA. So i download a firm with the "UVU" instead of "UVS" in it.
Reading in another post, i notice that the "930U" version, was a version for the USA, but i version free of all the custom from the operators, so i decide to try with that, so i pick one with the "G930UUEU4BRD1", i decide to us that, because the variant has "UEU" in it.
And for last, download Odin 3.13.1 and, that it, decompress the firm "G930UUEU4BRD1", put the phone in download mode, conecct to the pc by usb, open odin 3.13.1 and select the BL, AP, CP, CSC, not the home_csc, and press, all working fine, i now i have a s7 free of t-mobile apps. Root not recommend because it lags a lot.
hope help someone.

Hi,
I have an S7 edge olympic edition straight from the games in Brasil.
It hasn't received any updates since September whereas ZTO Brasil has released multiple updates since then, as well as my provider (Proximus - Belgium).
The CSC code is G935FYTO1BPIF (notice the Y instead of the standard Z).
I'd like to flash the latest 6.0.1 firmware for Belgium - Proximus, but am afraid to brick my phone.
Can anyone tell me which steps I should follow? I found on this forum for example to not use the repartition option in Odin. But in another tutorial they indicated to activate it. Do I need to change some files or not (CSC_Home),...?
Also the multi csc firmware stuff only adds to my confusion.
Bumping the thread. I'm not flashing anything on my phone until I have a decent answer from you guys

1)You can flash stock firmware for you specific device and country using sammobile.com as a free member registration* Remember to download latest stock firmware for your specific model number and country, you can find your model number printed below on back panel of your phone*
2)Go there in firmware section and enter your device model no and country..( Save it to pc and extract it on your pc in particular firmware folder, you will now find tar.md5 file in that folder)..Now download latest versions of odin and Samsung usb drivers for your device( Extract those files as you did with firmware, install latest usb drivers on pc)
3)From your phone's setting>about device>software info>press build version for 7-8 times continuesly to enable developers option
4)You can find developers option below setting>about device..From developers option select oem unlocking and usb debugging enabled
5)Now connect your phone to pc in download mode( Press volume down+home+power button simultaneously, you are now in download mode..press volume up button to continue)
6) Run odin as device administrator on your pc from odin extracted folder, let pc to install device drivers and your device will be highlighted in odin..
7)Add previously extracted tar.md5 file of stock firmware in AP tab of odin, give it some time to be ready..In odin options let auto reset and reboot options checked..*Dont check repatriation option*
8) Now click start button in odin, flashing process have been started..Sit back and relax untill firmware is being flashed..After that your device will be automatically rebooted and you will have latest stock firmware on your device..
*DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK NOR I NEITHER ANYONE FROM XDA FORUM WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR BRICK OF YOUR DEVICE*
You can use SamFirm for free and high-speed download of Nougat (Model: SM-G935F, Region: PRO). Since you do want to change CSC for best experience in Belgium you can just use the set you downloaded and flash with Odin (a factory reset will be performed, use the standard CSC not the HOME one). There's no need to flash as admin or set OEM unlock. Keep in mind all olympic specific goodies won't be available afterwards anymore.
Just to put things clear: it doesn't matter which firmware I download as long as it's for an SM-G935F with exynos processor.
I do not use CSC_Home but the normal csc file and afterwards I have a standard s7 edge, correct?
And the chances of bricking it are quite low using Samfirm?

Yes, as long as you use a firmware for the Exynos S7 edge and flash it with Odin chances are towards zero to brick something.
The HOME_CSC is only relevant if you flash something with same CSC as already installed as you do not have to perform the mandatory reset then. This is, however, not your case.
Where you get the firmware is up to you, there's fw.updato.com where you can download from Google Drive (you need to use a trick if Google thinks there's too much traffic), there's sammobile.com (fast download costs money) or SamFirm (still works despite being deprecated). However, all three options are basically maintained by the same team.
Thx for the answer.
As samfirm is deprecated and there seems to be a problem with the fw.updato.com I'll go for the sammobile option.
Leaves me with the question: which options to use when flashing via odin?
I suppose droidhacker's guide is the one to follow: In odin options let auto reset and reboot options checked..*Dont check repatriation option* And with repatriation I guess repartition is meant Can you confirm this?
EDIT: if you're saying 'same CSC', that means from the same carrier? Does this mean in theory that I can flash any other Brasil (ZTO) firmware - which would then be a default s7 edge firmware, but without having to reset my phone? The CSC codes that sammobile mentions are each time different per fw version
Code:
Date Country Version PDA CSC
2016-12-29 Brazil 6.0.1 G935FXXU1BPLB G935FXTO1BPK3
2016-12-21 Brazil 6.0.1 G935FXXU1BPLB G935FZTO1BPL4
2016-12-07 Brazil 6.0.1 G935FXXU1BPK3 G935FXTO1BPK3
2016-11-28 Brazil 6.0.1 G935FXXU1BPK3 G935FZTO1BPK3
2016-11-03 Brazil 6.0.1 G935FXXS1BPJC G935FXTO1BPIF

You click BL, AP, CP and CSC and select the appropriate file (for AP ist may be that it seems Odin hangs but just be patient as this is the biggest file to be read). If device drivers are not installed you need to install them, too. Put the phone in download mode (Switch off, then Vol down+Home+Power together and confirm with Vol-Up). Connect your device and click "Start".
I do not adjust any other settings (Options Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time is ticked by standard, Pit tab is not used). The Re-Partition does not matter in case you plan a reset or need to do so it just should NOT be ticked if you want to keep your settings (along with matching HOME_CSC). This is based on Odin 3.12.5 from odindownloader.com.

Thank you for the clear answers and the help provided. I'll give it a try tonight.
It's basically fairly easy... if any questions just post here. (-:
I'm on UAE firmware can I flash just another county's CSC? I'm in India. Or do I need to flash the whole firmware? Is there a way to flash CSC without a factory reset?
*have been asking all these for a long time in different threads and not getting a reply please help me out *
Hi,
I have a Verizon S7 and I want to permanently use it in Europe, France specifically.
I put a French SIM in and can place calls, but internet did not initially work, however, I did not try to change APN settings.
My question is, is there a specific firmware I can download that will put the latest updates on there and allow future updating on a non-Verizon network? If so, which firmware would that be? I'd prefer to have all Verizon stuff removed, too.
Finally, by default, French is not in language support, but I'd like to add that, if possible.
You can flash firmware from G930U model that is unlocked version for US
Thanks. Do I need to set boot pin or anything? I saw some threads saying you have to set boot pass or pin before you flash.
Also, will there be a way to do system updates? I mean, like updating to nougat?
Hello,
i'm in the same situation than you.
Please, can anyone provideme a link to the exact rom to flash in this moment (i found broken links and obsolete roms)
If I understand correctly this is that I need to do:
1-install samsung drivers and Odin 3.12
2-Flash rom g930u(need your help to provide me) without modifying any odin settings
3-Enjoy
this is ok?
Many thanks

hey @H0wdy, i know this is a month late but here goes:
This is what I would do if you were you
-download and extract the zip I attached on a link at the bottom, extract it, and open up Samfirm program,plug in your phone in download mode i believe please double check the original linked thread (hold volume down + home + power for 7 seconds ) put in your phone model SM-G930V and put XAA as region
-next it will search for the latest international update for your phone and click download, (make sure auto decrypt is on) this take a little while to download and then decrypt, but you should end up with a zip file on your desktop containing G930U files (which i happened to upload for you anyhow, but if case you dont want to download the uiversal rom, i uploaded one for you if you wish to use that. If you wanted to do it the safe way instead of using my older Uinversal firmware, I would follow above instructions.
Next open Odin, click BL find the appropriate BL file, click CSC find that file and select, as well as the other two with AP being last make sure to use OYM CSC not HOME.
- then simply boot phone into download mode: hold Power volume- and home upon restart and it should get you into bootloader. click UP, and if your phone is recognized by your computer go ahead and flash your new universal rom.
It has NO verizon bloat and more features such as Wifi calling and Video chat phone calls!
anyway if you need more help refer to this link here if you need help with this software. I found it incredibly straight forward.
you will be able to choose French upon setup of your phone.

Hello.
I have big problem with flashing SM-G361F.
It has stucked on download mode after regular OTA update and i can`t do anything with phone anymore. Recovery isn`t working also. I have already try everything i have find on net to fix it,but with no luck. I try to flash it with all versions of ODIN, and try 5 different USB cables on a 3 different PC-s, and always with the same result.
All what I can "flash" is PIT file, everything other isn`t working. I have try sofar every repair firmware i have found,lot`s of kernels, recoverys, custom roms, etc, but with no luck at all.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
Hello and apologies for my absence.
It seems you are in quite a pickle here, but since you can access Download Mode and Odin, that's great.
What I should tell you is that you don't need separate BL, AP, CSC and CP files to flash the ROM, since it uses the older method of flashing (which is much easier and more logical).
Unfortunately, since I am unaware of your mobile's network and it's nationality, I cannot recommend a specific ROM.
There is quite a list at https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-core-prime-lte/SM-G361F/ for this specific type of phone.
You need to put in your country and carrier and choose the latest version of the firmware since I am unaware of your phone's carrier and your nationality.
Either you can provide me with your country and mobile carrier or register to download the firmware yourself if you prefer.
Hope you get it fixed!

EDIT:
TAKE YOUR IMEI NUMBER DOWN IMMEDIATELY!
I know most of us on the forums are nice folk, but posting your IMEI number is bad, since someone could use it and take calls and texts from it if you insert a SIM card, leading potentially to some bad things happening, for example someone using your phone's IMEI to take calls and texts while you are stuck with the bill!
Please! At least blur it out!
Thank you for your quick respond.
Unfortunaly i have already try all available rom from that link for my country and carrier, and it is always the same result.
I have the same issue with the G361F. Except mine always stays on the "samsung galaxy core prime" logo. I have tried around 15 Roms and always the same result.
I think i have the same problem:

Hey! Newbie here in need of some help... (sorry for the poor formatting)
So about two years ago i got a J7 Pro (box says SM-J730G/DS, which is important for later) from my carrier (IUS) (MX), and I tried to root it. Apparently it didn't go well or something, I honestly have no recollection, and then because of external forces I had to change to iPhone.
The only thing I remeber before I stopped using it is that the settings app was kinda messed up (eg. there were two "Battery" settings, there was a new option called "Service provider" which had the options "KT twophone service", which apparently is Korean, and "My Wi-Fi home settings", etc.) Also, I got a "Processing failed" error message when wanting to check for updates.
Now yesterday I decided to unearth it again and of couse everything was the same, so I investigated how to return to stock firmware. The Smart Switch option isn't possible anymore; the only viable way (atm) for me is via Odin. The phone also somehow does not boot into recovery mode by Volume Down + Power.
I downloaded the firmware, and this is where everything gets messy. It seems the firmware I had flashed previously was SM-J730GM, which is still the only one I can find for my carrier and region. It is the firmware too that I flashed today (J730GMUBU2AQI3 and J730GMUBU2AQF3) through Odin, however I was not able to flash the BL, CP and CSC, because I would get a myriad of errors (one run I would get "repartition operation failed", on another, "cm.bin fail", or fail on the "set .pit file", and so on).
Remember when I said the box info was important? Yeah, the app Phone Info *Samsung* says both the bootloader and the broadband version are J730GUBU1AQF3, not J730GMUBU2AQF3. However, Sammobile says that for my region/carrier (MX/IUS), it is GM, not G. The back of my phone, however, says J730G/DS
I am at a loss. I read that one possibility is to use the Re-partition and NAND Erase options in Odin, but since I don't know whether my phone is J730G or J730GM, and I don't have a way to backup my EFS folder, I don't feel like doing that.
Could someone please explain to me what I can do to fix this?

1. Try heimdall instead of odin
2. Try with pc, adb fastboot wipe commands

Okay so,
1. What is the current state of your phone(is it bricked or working)?
2. What version of Android do you have( 7.0 Nougat ) or ?
If your phone is NOT bricked, I recommend first to go to developer settings and do OEM unlock
(you can enable developer settings by tapping the field Build Number fast multiple times in About phone information)
then, you can download stock firmware for J730G( not J730GM) and it doesn't have to be from your carrier or country.
After that, you can either use your stock rom or flash recovery and then flash custom ROM.
Hi all,
i have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 10.4 (2020) SM-T505 (LTE) 32GB. It was updated 20.03.2022 with official latest security update via wifi (normal usual way) (i think Feb or March 2022) but after that i can not turn my tablet any more. I have all data phone numbers picture on my tablet so i need to backup and return data !
Problem with :Version Android 11
Security Patch Level 2022-03-01
PDA T505XXU3BVB2
CSC T505OXM3BVB2
Please check also attached picture ... i can login to this selected mode .... is it possible to restore to previous version (before update) and keep all data or update somehow with cable (alternative program) ..!!!! I need this data urgently ! I can not contact with Smart Switch (data backup)
i can see topic is here open https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/tablets/tab-a7-update/m-p/5030111/thread-id/12475 but there is no solution to keep data ! (only menu where you can hard restore everything when you delate everything)
Thank you for your urgent help.
Boot into download mode and flash the same stock rom version you were previously on onto your tablet, just dont flash userdata. This will reflash android. Apps and settings may be cleared, but internal storage (photos, videos etc) will remain intact. Look for a guide on how to do this.
@PhotonIce can you give more infos please
when i enter power + volume up i go to this menu
what next .... how to i apply update from ADB or even how do i apply uppdate from SD card
a lot of people are waiting for step by step process to save the data
inside .. fyi
is it possible to update only android side via ODIN.... how can i do that ? Please need help
Ok, lets get into this.
First, we need to find the signed firmware files for your specific tablet. Sammobile is a well-known source for samsung stock roms. Now we need to find the model number, which is t505. Next, we need to match the PDA and android versions, which you've mentioned above. Now, the slightly hard part. We need to get the rom for the right country (csc). Your csc ins mentioned above. Notice the OXM after T505. That is the country code. You can match this up on any samsung csc key to find the country.. Now, OXM is a universal CSC code, which doesn't really help with the download. We need more information, you can usually check your csc from the about phone menu in android, but you cant really do that. So our other option is for you to send a picture of the details from download mode, the csc will be mentioned there. To enter download mode, follow this tutorial for your device:
Upon entering download mode (after pressing volume up), look for the csc and send it here. If you cannot find the CSC, just send a picture of the entire screen. Also please mention which country you got this tablet from, and which country you are in, also mention if it is on any carrier etc.
Once you provide this information, we will be able to pick the most suitable csc for your stock rom, then I will provide further instructions on how to flash the software without losing your data. Note that you may lose your apps, but you will definitely not lose your photos, videos, files etc.
Bought in Slovenia, wifi + mobile used in Austria.
@PhotonIce CSC is what .... my whole code is (i think this is PDA) T505XXU3BVB2 ... so csc is XXU?
i have android 11
..what next
and thank you in advance for help
if i lose apps is ok ... for me it is important to keep photos videos files etc

Ok, so we'll be using the slovenia csc. Upon confirming the details on the sammobile download page, the pda and csc match, so we should be good to go. One thing I did notice is that in your first post you said the PDA was "T505XXU3BVB8", but in the picture of your recovery, it shows "T505XXU3BVB2". Can you confirm anything about this?
@PhotonIce it is T505XXU3BVB2
Well now we know which firmware we need to download, here's the link, you'll need to register on sammobile to download:
Download Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 LTE SM-T505 SIO Slovenia T505XXU3BVB2 firmware
Fast download latest Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 LTE firmware SM-T505 from Slovenia with T505XXU3BVB2 and Android version 11
www.sammobile.com
@PhotonIce done ... next (i have ftth at home so that why is so fast)
Alright, now we'll need to install The Samsung USB Drivers, and download Odin. Here are the links:
Drivers
Odin
done
Extract the drivers zip and run the installer.
Once it's done, extract the firmware zip and post an image of the files inside the extracted folder
@PhotonIce
Ok, open odin, then connect your tablet to your pc in download mode. You should see an empty box under the word ID:COM turn blue with a COM- number.
Next, click on BL in odin, and select the file starting with BL_ from the extracted folder.
Click on CSC in odin, and select the file starting with HOME_CSC_OMC_ from the extracted folder.
Click on CP in odin, and select the file starting with CP_ from the extracted folder.
Click on AP in odin, and select the file starting with AP_ from the extracted folder
Leave userdata empty, and make sure not to use the file starting with CSC_OMC_.
Once you have done this, click on the options tab on the left of odin, then send a screenshot of the entire odin window so that I can confirm that all is good.
@PhotonIce
Alright, everything seems good. As long as you selected HOME_CSC and NOT CSC_, then you should be good. Just press the start button to begin flashing, it will take a couple of minutes. Do not power off or unplug your device during this process. Once it is done, you device will automatically reboot, so do not try to manually reboot.
Good Luck! If it worked out then post here.
ok lets try . Yes i have selected HOME_CSC !!!!!!!!
