Can't find Stock Firmware for dual Sim model SM935FD

Hi. I bought s7 edge in Thailand.
I was trying to find its stock firmware to get my phone a new fresh start. So far, I only found a link to Singapore firmware.
Here is from my phone

I heard you can flash single Sim firmware into dual one, but I was just afraid and prefer original firmware (before I root it soon hahaha)
Any idea where I can find one for my Thailand model.

OLB covering Malaysia/Philippines/Singapore/Thailand/Vietnam. I believe your latest update is of February 2016
Download Phone INFO Samsung from playstore and look for the active CSC. It has got a country shown as well.
I have a FD version as well with XME (Malaysia) CSC. But from what I have researched, for Galaxy S7 Edge specifically, Samsung has been releasing OTA updates (three times; once a month since Feb) for OJV countries (Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia,South Africa, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey), XSG (united arab emirates) and EU countries (NEE=Netherland, DBT=Germany, LUX=Luxembourg so far)
I have decided to flash the DBT firmware as from the look of firmware updates trend, Galaxies with DBT receive the earliest and most frequent updates from Sammy. Everything is working fine. No Knox triggered. Not too sure about the warranty; i guess it doesn't matter that much since samsung only looks at whether your knox has been triggered.
Good luck
thank you
can I flash German firmware only PDA or i have to flash CSC and MODEM too?

Changing CSC Regions

Hi,
I recently recived my Galaxy S7 Edge after returning my Note 7 :crying: and it appears the Firmware's CSC is XSG G93FZKAXSG (UAE/AE) United Arab Emirates.
I would like to load the Offical UK Firmware XEU From Sammobile G935FXEU1BPH3
I found the Odin Guide
But Im unsure if this still is possible or if it would negitively affect the Phones OTA Updates or trigger the Knox warranty.
Any guidance offerd would be greatly apreciated,

it will not trip knox as it is a stock kernal. But OTA updates maybe effected as it is an unbranded firmware.

Nougat Firmware with MM CSC?

Hi...as the title says: Is it possible?
So to flash BTU and after it the CSC for my provider (it's from a MM Firmware)?
Tried the search function but couldn't find a statement.
it works, mine has xeu csc and I have flashed btu without a problem
Yeah...I'm also on BTU now. But I wanted to know if I could flash a 6.0.1 CSC now without problems.
yes, tested by me, downgrade is safe because bootloader binary is the same
Thanks!
@Pet1981 hey there? did you try to flash the marshmallow CSC? I'm thinking of doing so since Samsung Pay has been rolled out in my home country but I'm currently in Switzerland, using the BTU nougat update
Yep! Works without problems
Tried the MM csc for T-Mobile Germany (DTM) in Renovate 7.1.0 (Nougat) and it doesn't work properly, needed to switch back to the german unbranded csc (DBT)

S7 Edge debrand and use in other country

Hi, I have a S7 Edge witch is from Vodafone UK and I want to use it in Poland, it is a good idea to flash this firmware?:
Model SM-G935F
Model name Galaxy S7 edge
Country Poland
Version Android 7.0
Changelist 12365438
Build date Tue, 17 Oct 2017 05:28:35 +0000
Security Patch Level 2017-10-01
Product code XEO
PDA G935FXXU1DQJ3
CSC G935FXEO1DQJ3
I also want to get rid of Vodafone stuff (debrand), and use is like a unlocked device, non-rooted, official, receive ota updates etc...
There are some risks if I flash other country firmware in country specific device? should not do that?
It is better to look for SM-935U firmware and flash this?
The device is network locked and I will unlock it with NCK code, I will be able to use it in Poland with any SIM?
Thank you all.
I think I posted in wrong place. can someone move it please?

Questions about CSC codes and updates

I'm living in North East Asia at the moment and grey imported an S8+ SM-G955F. All looks to be Ok however it's CSC is ATL so I'm getting a few Vodafone apps from Spain. I can use my local SIM but am concerned a little that I'm relying on Vodafone Spain to push out updates? (or because it's unlocked does Samsung do it?)
Could I flash a BTU software version over this? Will I then get updates for BTU going forwards? It would also remove the Vodafone crapware?
Any help would be appreciated!
