Howdy! Please help me newbie with this problem. Mine is SM-G928F, its region is DBT, which is Germany. My current firmware is 5.1.1. As I haven't received Marshmallow update OTA, as well as when I checked for update in Smart Switch, I decided to use SamFirm and download the suitable 6.0.1 firmware for my Region. And then I used Odin to flash it, with Kies uninstalled, Samsung drivers up-to-date and so on according to the instruction I've read. Now what I have is a fancy brick with the Samsung brand on it ( I can still get into download mode. What should I do now?

Hey, you may try another firmware or follow the procedure(in the video) to avoid that failure. Exclude modem.bin from firmware and find the another one which fits F variant then flash it after firmware..
I've been looking for a while now to downgrade my Edge 6 Plus to android MM 6.0.1, since Nougat is leaving me in the dark with battery drain, and mobile hotspot not working.
Anyhow, i have found some official firmwares, but they all stop at 50MB download because its too slow.
Perhaps anyone have these firmwares on Onedrive or something?
Thanks in advance!
You can use kies or smart switch to install the right firmware for your phone.

Can i specifically choose the firmware aswell? Since i want to downgrade from Android 7.0 to 6.0.1
the answer would be no. You can try download from updato.com. From my experience it download faster then other site.

baseband:G935AUCS4APK1
Download this U firmware and install using odin. It's a universal firmware for the AT&T S7 Edge, does not have any AT&T crap on it. It also doesn't have VoLTE & wifi calling, but who cares, it works just fine. I have an AT&T S7 Edge and I'm using this myself. I love it and it always get the OTA updates fast. This is the latest firmware with the January security patch. Enjoy and hope this helps. This is Android 7.0 Nougat

The latest firmware update is G935UUEU4BRD1 April Security Patch. I always update OTA via the software update in the setting menu and it downloads quick.

What firmware version are you on right now? If you want to go to SM-G935U then you have to start with the base of January and then update from there via OTA.

Just so there's no confusion here, no one person "updated it OTA". What you have is an official U rom which fetches updates whenever Samsung pushes them out.

If your on the U version, then go to Settings then Software Update and then tap Download Updates Manually. It should force an update. If not, download the updates from Sammobile and flash them using Odin.

Thank you! My S7 Edge ATT SM-G935A is on Marshmallow 6.0.1 now. Can I flash directly to the latest version or I need to go from the base on first and go 1-by-1 up to the latest?
Hi, thanks for reading. My S8+ G955F stopped finding updates after 2018 July's security patch, when I try to search for updates manually it says that the device is up to date already (its 2019 April's 20th today).
I never flashed a custom ROM, it's 100% stock and Knox is intact.
I wonder if there is a way to just update with Samsung official tooling or just flash with TWRP the OneUI Pie official ROM without having to go through every update to date manually (there must be dozens of them).
I attached my current build and firmware below.
Thanks for reading and have a great day.

You could try first Samsung's Smart Switch to see if that will update your phone.
If not the other way would be to download your firmware and flash with Odin.

No you don't need to do incremental updates
Just update to the version you want
Hi guys,
So I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I have swapped out my s8 motherboard and the other died. Everything works fine apart from the fact it's on android 7 and every time I check for updates I get the message that the system is currently up to date.
The baseband is g950fxxu1aqc1
And the build number is nrd90m.g950fxxu1aqc1
I'm trying to find what version I can use to update to Android pie 9.
Any.help would be greatly appreciated

If you can't update though software update then you can update through Odin software( PC app ) or by using smart switch app ( PC app )
You can also get firmware through website like sammobile or updato - slow download though
Other choice's are through PC apps like Samfirm or Frija - quicker downloads.

Yeah I've Looked on the Sammobile site I was unable to find the baseband version on there so was sure of which version to download and install on to the phone.
Thanks

Samsung being Samsung the bootloader/binary ( baseband ) number tends to increase. So if you want the latest firmware the number will be higher than what your is on your phone.ie :nougat to pie
Note: Increasing your baseband number you will not be able to downgrade your firmware version baseband number.

If you want to upgrade yes.
Another note if you are locked to a carrier flashing different firmware will not unlock you from that carrier.
