Hi
My device (Galaxy J5 2016) has recieved the update to Nougat 7.1.1 over an year ago, but I can't appear to be able to check for OTA updates- so I've attempted to look up the firmware online.
Apparently, the FN model is not officialy supported by Samsung for region ILO, so I can't find it's updated firmware anywhere and I oddly enough also can't find the firmware I currently have on this device, so I can't do anything (Also attempted Samsung support.. they can't help me.)
The device is currently on Marshmellow 6.0.1
the CSC is J510FOJK1APE3
AP: J510FNXXU2APK6
CP: J510FNXXU2APK6 (the same as AP)
Model: SM-J510FN
I want to stay using official firmware, avoid tripping KNOX and safely install this update without having to do a factory reset as I'd expect by upgrading a device to a correct firmware. What can I do?

There doesn't seem to be Firmware anywhere for the J510FN for Israel.There are plenty firmwares for J510F for Israel but not FN that I can see anywhere just as you said in the post.

Am I able to somehow modify the CSC in the firmware to match mine, so I won't have to factory reset / wipe and install it just as it's supposed to be officialy? I find it rather odd I do have a firmware with a CSC that isn't even supported for my device and yet KNOX is untripped and the firmware status is official.

Hi All,
I am looking to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S5 to Marshmallow manually ( I got through an operator in Costa Rica and they are not close to release it).
My phone's model is SM-G900F:
AP: G900FXXU1BOJ1
CP: G900FXXU1BOJ1
CSC: G900FCRC1BOJ1
I found official firmwares on Sammobile for my model but not match my country, so, I am not sure if by installing any of those I will break my phone. I am pretty new on this matter.
Can anyone clarify this? Can I move forward and install it without any issues?
Regards,

Its doest matter... as long u flash the correct model for ur device.. if u came from kitkat or lollipop and want to upgrade to marshmallow u need to flash bootloader n modem for marshmallow first before flash the firmware...
If firmware from sammobile its already included with bootloader n modem (as i know its was included)..
My original csc is XME... now im using BTU and moded rom (xXx rom)

Thanks! I did and it's working just fine!
I had s4(4.4.2) rooted now I have completely removed the root by flashing stock firmware which I got from this post. I downloaded the turkey 4.4.2 listed under GT-I9500 firmwares although I am in india. Now when I try to update trough settings > software update, I I get msg "The latest updates have already been installed.". So is it happening because I flashed turkey's firmware, pls help me how to get lollipop update.
Flash India (INU) or India (INS) firmware. Either should work, but using the INS CSC is probably best, as that apparently is for unlocked devices. The reason you're not getting an update is the phone is not in the same region as the firmware installed on it.
Stock firmware for the gt-i9500 is here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9500/INS/
@audit13: Already covered that.
My bad, I didn't click on the links

thanks i installed indian version and now i am able to ugrade the phone.
Hi everyone.
I want to receive nougat G935FXXU1DPLT (UK BTU) through OTA, while using marshmallow.
To do that, which previous firmware should be installed, so that when i click software update, it find G935FXXU1DPLT nougat firmware and ask me to update ?
I guess you have to have the UK BTU Firmware.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935F/BTU/
Yes but which one ?
I tried this with UAE XSG 6.0.1. There is also Nougat already in UAE XSG but when i installed 6.0.1 , after completion setup, i checked "software update".
It said "you already have latest updates". So, same can be happen with UK BTU. That's why i need to find that firmware which detects nougat update in OTA automatically.
Why do you want to OTA update from MM to Nougat?
Just flash the Nougat BTU Odin files.
You probably didn't get the update because your CSC didn't change. What is your CSC?
Nougat BTU CSC is actually OXA which is a multi-CSC. If you have ANY of the existing CSC that are in OXA your CSC will not change
When i just flash Nougat, S-health is not working due to tripping know before (root). That is why i want OTA update from MM to Nougat (I decided to use without root for a time).
Yes Nougat BTU CSC is OXA but, when you select UK list in sammobile, there is no other OXA CSC with MM. Only single Nougat is OXA, the rest are MM and non of them contains CSC OXA.
So, my question continues :/
No solution ?
Which MM firmware you can suggest me to download guys, so that after installation, it can detect Nougat (OTA) ?
I flashed bplb last night with Odin and it now as option to download and update to 7.0 but eff that, I had horrible battery life on 7.0
Hmm, well it is something to try, at least. I will download BPLB and see how it goes.
If it goes to Nougat with OTA, i will observe and notify you about battery life also. Thanks
Download 7.0 Nougat [UK] firmware and flash it. Im using UK version and for now no problems
Battey life is better then 6.0.1 but u need disable few packages with PDP
Hi,
I installed the one on this site and upon first set up, received 2 OTA updates, one of them being Nougat. You might want to give it a try.
this is the one i used and recieved ota nougat G935FXXU1BPLB_G935FBTU1BPK3_BTU
Yes i finally find thanks to you (G935FXXU1BPLB_G935FBTU1BPK3_BTU). I updated to Nougat with OTA.
But, now i am on G935FXXU1DPLT_G935FOXA1DPLT and when i install apps or games in play store, some of them are not appear on my phone.
When i search back in play store, i see that they are already installed and i can open them.
Why i can't see them :/ ? (i am without root)
What do you mean by PDP ?
That's definitely not normal, I would do a factory reset, good luck
Hi,
i have purchased the Samsung galaxy S8 SM-G950FD from Dubai, since i will be using the phone in India i have flashed the phone with official stock firmware . now my question is will i received the OTA updates as usual or i have to keep on updating the phones manually. also when i use the smart switch my phones shows firmware updated. but recently on the July 16th there was new firnware which i have not received. Could anyone guide what should i do as i am concerned. also how can i do the master reset . (the same csc and firmware as it came from out of the box )
so where exactly did you get this stock firmware. my carier's firmware update is really slow, i dont want it
Firmware downloaded from Sam mobile
I had downloaded from Sam mobile . But mine is international unlocked version . Please check your firmware and model before flashing . My model is SM-G950FD
I have a Samsung Galaxy A9 Star (SM-G8850) purchased on the Chinese market. Once updated to the latest firmware I get:
AP: G8850ZCU3ASA1
CP: G8850ZCU3ASA1
CSC: G8850CHC3ASA1
Model: SM-G8850/DS
The firmware comes with all the usual Chinese crapware and I would like to switch it to the Hong Kong (TGY) firmware in order to access Google Play Services and use it outside China. I have found the official pages detailing the firmware versions (CHC for China, TGY for HK) and the appropriate page on SamMobile with instructions for uploading a new firmware using Odin.
Is this process safe and/or reversible? Do I need to root or install TWRP recovery first? Are the China/HK versions of the phone hardware-identical? Is there a guide for this for a similar phone that I could attempt to follow, is there anything else I need to consider relating to partition size? Is there a different way to install GApps and Google Play Services on a Chinese market phone? Has anyone tried this before?
Thanks for any help!
Update on progress. Unfortunately this is currently not possible for me since I updated the Chinese firmware from bootloader U1 to U3, and the latest version of the TGY firmware still uses U2. I think it would be necessary to root the phone to downgrade, which would trigger Knox.
CSC CHC: G8850ZCU3ASA1
CSC TGY: G8850ZHU2ASA1
Attempting to flash the old version results in "SW REV CHECK FAIL [abl]Fused 3 > Binary 2"
For anyone who has not yet updated, if flashing directly with the same bootloader level doesn't work, this guide seems likely to work:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/guide-changing-csc-s8-s8-root-t3799045
Using combination files available here:
https://combinationfirmware.com/combination-samsung-galaxy-a9-star
Would appreciate reports from anyone trying this. I will be waiting for a TGY build using U3.
Another update. TGY Build G8850ZHU3BSEB was released, with U3 bootloader and Android 9. Using this firmware, it is possible to change the phone from the Chinese CHC firmware to Hong Kong TGY firmware. The phone changes its model number from Galaxy A9 Star to Galaxy A8 Star. Simply download Odin 3.13.3 and the firmware from https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a8-star/firmware/SM-G8850/ and flash.
