Wich firmeware select to flash s7 edge from 935V to 935U - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

I read that I can install the firmeware of sm-935U in my sm-935V, but when i enter in sammobile page ,there is a huge list of 935U firmeware, wich of those do i have to select to work fine in my phone

If you look at the numbers they are all the same.
Just be sure to flash the CSC fine and not the Home_CSC one when changing the firmware. Remove all the google users first too. All your apps will be deleted.

How do I know whic CSC im downloading , cause there is only 2 options, PDA and CSS, and the other doubt I have, wich version of odin is usefull to install the rom?

It's just one zip file. Get the latest one (from 04/2019)... like this one for PDA G935UUES9CSC2 and CSC G935UOYM9CSC2:

I did a similar flash but didn't remove google users. The factory reset protection messages appeared, I entered credentials, and things started reloading. What else did the factory reset protection do that I don't what it to do?

Ota update problem

I have galaxy s7 edg, When i try to ota updat it downland the updat, then restart to install, then it restart and start to install, when reaches 28% it show a yellow triangle witht ! And dose not complete the installation.
Iv done wip cash and data, and tried factory reset.
My phone is sm-g935fd, south East Asian version, and iv installed uae rom because i need arabic language, i dont know if this is the reason? And what can i do..?
Does your phone restart at all or are you in a bootloop? If so, you might have to download the full flashable odin version and start from the beginning. You will likely lose all your data though.
I'm with onurd, start again. Sounds like you have flashed an incompatible ROM\firmware.

1. Download the latest UPDATE for XSG (United Arab Emirates). SM-G935FD uses the same firmwares than SM-G935F.
2. UnZIP it and you will see 5 files (The one starting with HOME_CSC_ isn't necessary)
3. Open ODIN and add all 4 files in the correct position (AP file with AP box, CP file with CP box, BL file with BL box & CSC file with CSC box).
4. Reboot your device in DOWNLOAD MODE and conect it to your pc.
5. Start flashing.
6. Wait till the process finish. Done.
Is the OTA for the UAE ROM, or the original version?

Installing BTU rom help

Hi Guys I was one of you for a long time then drifted to the darkside with apple. I am back but so much has changed and I want to ensure that I dont goose up.
I have a SM G935F S7 edge
I have contacted my provider and recieved sim unlock code. Placed alternative sim in phone and entered the code and it returned sim unlock. (its a pay as you go sim i used to unlock with no credit so I cant test I can make a call)
I am torn between rooting and not because of my banking app with Barclays, but on the advice of others I would like to try a stock samsung rom without all the bloatware.
I have sith super backup backed up my contacts apps call logs and sms messages and saved them to google drive.
So have I dont all i need before flashing and if so which stock rom can I use. do I simply use the most recent BTU from smmobile for my country or is there a better way to select the rom I should install.
Look forward to your answers but if anyone has Barclays app working on root let me know then I will just take the plunge I care not about the warranty as I have alternative insurance which wouldnt care.
Thanks again in advance
One of the reasons I haven't rooted is for the same reason as you. Barclays are a real pain in the arse to rooted customers. I have tried everything to get around this but nothing can. The only other option is logging in via the website but every so often this requries a card reader so it can be a pain in the arse.
Anyway, to answer your question, you seem to have covered anything. BTU is probably your best option if you would like stock samsung with less bloat. Although, I believe you will not receive any OTA updates and would have to update manually when updates become available.

Yes choose the most recent.
Also, yes I have tried the method on reddit. It did not work for me. I gave up trying in the end and have not rooted my most recent S7.

BTU is UK unbranded.
Download this: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/116121/G935FXXU1BPLB_G935FBTU1BPK3_BTU/ this is the latest
Also download odin 3.11.1 the link is just below the details on the download page.
once everything has finished downloading, backup important data on your phone and put your phone into download mode, unzip the Rom file, there will be 5 files inside, delete CSC_HOME (you don't need it), Flash BL, CP, CSC and AP all with odin, but in odin settings, select Re-partition, F.reset time, Auto-Reboot, then start, the CSC file contains a PIT file which will wipe your phone.
Here is my thread on Sammobile confirming the flash: https://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34984
I did the same with my S7 Edge to debrand it, I can confirm the Barclays app still works as its Samsung official software it doesn't trip knox, although I'm fed up now of waiting 6 months for android 7 I'm thinking of just going to a custom rom, i'll just use the browsers to goto Barclays.
The only way the Barclays app wont work is if you have ever flashed a custom recovery, rom, or rooted which all trip the knox counter to 0x1

Doesn't really matter to be honest, just means you loose a bit of space as the BTU firmware file is one of the smallest out of the lot due to the lack of bloatware, repartition would have given you this space as user storage, but its not much to be fair.

Phew...
Still think I might redo it when finished. the reason being is I let samsung reinstall stuf where I feel I should just have loaded super backup on my device then restored that way.
Plus I stupidly said yes to microsoft stuff beacause I need outlook but I dont need all the other crap.

Double menus in settings

Hy,
I have flash official nougat uk.
But i have double menus in settings, like double applications and double device manager.
I have heard that if you flash other csc it be ok.
Can someone explain wich csc , and where to find it?
Thanks
How exactly did you flash the UK Nougat files? Which files did you use?
using HOME_CSC has probably messed it up. Reflash using CSC (wipes all data)

Sorry, I have no idea then I've seen that problem with some users who decided to mix files from different Android verisons, but as you've flashed a "complete" ROM, that obviously isn't the culprit here.
Apologies, I thought you meant that you had flashed HOME_CSC.
Can you provide some screenshots to show what's happening?
Here is a screenshot.

i've got the same problem, very frustrating, plus the keyboard didn't work very well
I had the double menu problem when i flashed superman rom, I dirty flashed over and it fixed it. Starting over with the correct CSC file should fix the issue.
I also had the keyboard problem when i flashed stock using odin. Re-flashing solved it as well, making sure I didnt use the HOME_CSC file. just use the normal CSC.
did you try clean both cache after flash to remove any stray bits of data left over after flashing ?
i finally did it guys! the problem is that i've only used the AP file while the S7 firmware unzips to 5 files ahd you have to install 4 of them.
Hey man I have a question, I have the same problem with double menus, but I just installed the lastest firmware update but just the flashed the PDA, to solve this problem do i have to flash again the 5 files including the PDA or just the the other 4 files since I already flashed the PDA?

How to get rid of "Ramadan" and Hijri on calendar? SM-G950FD Dual Sim version

How to get rid of "Ramadan" and Hijri on calendar? SM-G950FD Dual Sim version
EDIT- See last post on page 3 by me. Solution found, and samsung pay also working.
Hello, I got my new S8 dual sim version from ebay today, was shipped from texas, but is the dual sim "DUOS" international version. The calendar app has the orange Ramadan line through it and "Hijri" in the settings. Is there any way at all to get rid of this?
I'm not sure if there is a different OEM rom I can flash in ODIN that would get rid of this. I definitely don't want it in my calendar, along with some different dates I'm not aware of that also show up. I googled it and looks like muslim dates.
I've read that SM-G950F roms are compatible, but what about odin flashing F roms and not FD? Would this solve the problem somehow if there is no other work around?

That doesn't work though. You can press on it, shows the date individually, event is there but clicking on it does nothing. Also as far I can tell no way to get rid of the muslim calendar dates also. I want to keep it OEM for now, no root, is there any other international variant OEM rom to flash?

You can choose what calendar sources you want (google, celebrations, facebook etc.) All of them are on by default. You just have to find it in the calendar app and disable that calendar. It is celebrations calendar for sure.
I don't know. I'm thinking it's baked into the ROM for real now. I googled this also and it seems the S7 had the issue also on international variants. But there were some work arounds I think. I tried unselecting all the different calendars. There is none that states celebrations on here.

You can flash any firmware (using Odin) from the F version to the FD one with absolutely no issue.
Edit: If you are scared to flash an F firmware, you can flash the Russian one (from the FD) and it wont have any of that "bloatware"

It's an updated version also it seems, as I'm on AQDG and security patch April 1, 2017 and this one is 6-1-17. This won't put the russian alphabet on my phone will it? lol
Mine has the Egypt firmware apparently.

That should do
You can remove the russian keyboard very easily (it is like if you flash a Greek or Italian OS, no big deal)
But be aware. In order to avoid the EGY CSC, you shouldnt have a SIM card while booting for the first time and you should probably use a .pit file
Last but not least, use SamFirm to download the whole firmware (Here) and make sure that you tick the Binary Nature selection on the app (that way, you will get 5 files instead of one and you can completely remove the EGY csc)

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the EGY CSC. What is this exactly? Under software information I see under service provider is EGY/EGY/EGY. I do have straight talk up and running just fine on my S8 using the ATT network, everything works as it should right now.
I'll be sure to have my SIM card removed when flashing in odin and rebooting the 1st time. As of right now, I'm downloading the file from sammobile, the zip file which they say to extract and flash in odin.
I checked that link you sent and found the russian one with the SER region selected and clicked binary nature. So should I not flash the file from Sammobile with odin and use the the link you sent instead?
The tool downloaded the 5 files you said, I have a HOME_CSC file, CSS_OXM... , CP, BL, and AP files. They are all md5 files. So you're saying I should flash these in odin instead of the single file from Sammobile?
Im good at rooting phones and stuff, but only when following guides. The "behind the scenes" stuff I'm not good at since I don't program. This one I'm not rooting right away, just want to do this to try and get rid of the egypt stuff and muslim calendar things.
Heres what I have. It shows 4 places to flash though. The AP, BL, and CP seem straightforward using the files downloaded, but which one of the top 2 files goes in the CSC part?

The single file from Sammobile wont help you to remove all the muslim stuff from your phone. On the other hand, a 5-"pack" firmware will debloat your phone completely.
Just put the BL file to the BL option in Odin
AP file to AP option
CP file to CP option
and CSC (NOT HOME_CSC) at the CSC file
Also make sure that you have "extracted" from the CSC .tar.md5 the pit (Just open it with WinRaR and extract the .pit file)
After doing that, open the pit section on the Odin and selete the pit file that you just extracted

Thank you. This all worked perfectly. Did every option. Phone is back up and running just fine, Latest software and security patches are installed.
Sadly, the ramadan and muslim dates are still there, still shows EGY under service provider SW version. I guess I'll just have to accept this and can't get rid of it.

I'm glad that your phone works but I still cannot understand why it didnt change
If you get your hands on a european sim, then you will be able to get rid of the muslim dates etc

Hello t-shock I'm hoping you'll see this, but I ordered me a Russian Sim card on ebay so I can change to the SER hopefully. Would I follow the same steps again? You did say make sure not to have my Sim card in when booting for the first time, but wouldn't I want to have it in so it can read it and hopefully change? Since when I did it with no Sim cars inserted, it didn't change. Now I'm trying to change my csc to get Samsung pay to work, and it looks like it should on Russian phones since its been released there.
I've tried everything else and I can't even pull up the multi csc menu, even though it shows EGY should be part of the multi csc pack.

Hi
Put the Sim on the phone and repeat the step that I have said.
But make sure that you use the pit file and also the csc (not home_csc)
Were you able to get rid of EGY? I'm in the same boat.
I think you should flash multi-CSC firmware that contains CSC you want to get. I have NEE/NEE/XSG, no muslim stuff. OXM firmware.
As I have had same satuition. EGY is included in Multi-CSC OXM, you can't change CSC by odin flashing another Multi-CSC OXM firmware.
I tried flash VD2(Germany Vodafone) then it became VD2/VD2/EGY but if I flash other CSC included in Multi-CSC OXM, it go back to EGY/EGY/EGY. I'm gonna just root my phone now.
I got my phone from Dubai, inserted finnish SIM card and turned on the phone. It automatically changed CSCs to NEE, which is correct for me.

I'm waiting on my Russian Sim card to come in the mail, then I will try to change to the SER csc, which Samsung pay should work for. Hoping it changes. Apparently from reading above, if you have a multi csc like the EGY I have, you can't flash another one. That's why when I initially flashed the SER csc through Odin, in a multi part file, it didn't change. HOPING it will change when I get my Russian Sim card.

Can you clarify please? I'm assuming you had EGY csc also. Is that why when I flash SER csc (Russian) it didn't change anything? But VD2 is not multi csc package and that's why it changed? I don't really care what firmware I'm on now as long Samsung pay will work and it doesn't have all the bloat ware. I was told Russian software has some of the least bloat. Will changing my Sim card change the csc?

Anyone got stock S8 Pie Firmware for SM-G950F

Hi all,
Has anybody got the stock Android 9 Firmware for the SM-G950F. All the download links i have tried have failed. I'm currently running TWRP with a Samsung Android 9 ROM.
I want the stock firmware in order to get access to Google Pay, etc..
My phone has a UK vodafone sim card.
Thank you

Through ODIN as i want to get rid of TWRP
Go to sammobile.com/firmwares/archive
Register with your email and seach for your model number and select your country, then download the zip with 5 files: AP, BL, CSC, HOME CSC and CP.
Open odin and put the files in the specific box (in CSC I use Home CSC file).
Boot your device in Download Mode (POWER+VOL DOWN+BIXBY)
Connect to your Pc and press Star
Wait until Odin shows PASS, the device take more time to boot.
I suggest to fully charge the phone before flashing the firmware

Is there a version of ODIN that you reccomend?
The website gives the download for the best version of odin, usually is v. 3.13.3

Hi,
I decided not to use the stock ROM as i have found a custom one that allows google pay and other restricted apps. Thank you tho for providing the link. I will use the stock firmware later on when i change phones. :good:
I use the stock firmware and I disabled the apps that i dont use with ADB. Do you suggest me to root my S8 or not?
Guys i need a stock firmware with all the 5 files aswell...I want to sell the phone but i cant sell it as it is running LOS16 currently...Im downloading a firmware from sammobile but its very slow, 4 hours to download it...

That happened to me aswell. Just do it overnight. It will probably take the same amount of time for someone to upload it to google drive etc.

Can you share the link of the custom Rom?
Hi, sorry for the late reply.
There seems to be a newer version of the ROM, but everything should work fine.
