Update SM-G935FD Dual Sim to Android 7 ?

I bought this phone from the USA about year and a half and I'm using it in Macedonia, Europe the whole time. It is a dual sim, but I'm not sure which country it is exactly from, Taiwan maybe I guess?
The model is SM-G935FD and the Baseband version shows: G935FXXU1APB6.
I tried updating it manually, but always says you're using the latest software version even though android 7 has came out a long time ago.
Can you tell me:
1. How can I update to android 7 ?
2. Why am I not receiving an update automatically, even though this feature was working when I bought the phone. I was getting regular updates automatically ever since I bought the phone up unti a point when the 7 came out.
3. If I update the firmware through an SD card or whatever method you suggest its best, will I continue receiving regular updates automatically after I install the v7.0 ?
4. How can I check what country is this phone from?
Lots of questions, would be glad if someone can clear these things up for me so I can understand better how this works with samsung and different countries models etc.
Thanks up front!

try smart switch on PC to update it... frend of mine had s7 flat and no update via mobile phone, as soon as I connected it to pc and turned on smart switch update came out...

I wanted to mention that, but I've probably forgot. I did try Smart Switch, but it also said, latest update already installed. Any other ideas?

I'm sorry for my noobish questions, but can you please explain to me how to choose the country of my firmware? Do I need to choose a country which I currently reside in? Or do I need to choose a country for which the phone was made? I just want to use English language, even though I use it in Macedonia, Europe.
Please kindly advise. Thanks!

1. How can I update to android 7 ?
i had the exact same problem as you smart switch n ota both said i was on latest software. All you need to do is goto sammmobile download firmware for your s7 edge model if your phone is non carrier or unlocked then you can download any carrier version. after that download Odin n Samsung drivers n view an odin flashing tutorial on YouTube.
3. If I update the firmware through an SD card or whatever method you suggest its best, will I continue receiving regular updates automatically after I install the v7.0 ?
I am getting all the 7.0 updates.
4. How can I check what country is this phone from?
if i remember correctly Its written on the smartphone box although u don't need to worry about the country all you need to know is the model number.
But to tell the truth there is no performance difference only ui change but still if u want to be on the latest version then use Odin. good luck.
I have flashed my s7 edge about a dozen times n haven't faced any flashing problem just be sure to use original cable n try not to use the computer while the flashing is happening. use odin in adminstrator mode n if possible kill extra background processes like chrome etc (not needed but i still do it just to be safe)

Just checked my phone with PHONE INFO app and there seems to be no CSC code?! All these field are empty:
Original CSC Code: blank
Firmware CSC Code: blank
Active CSC Code: blank
Available CSC Codes: blank
CSC Country: blank
I tried dialing *#1234# and it says:
"USSD code running"
but it shows some kind of error right after:
"connection problem or invalid mmi code"
and does not enter the menu with the CSC code. Tried restarting the phone, switching sim cards and what not.. Nothing worked and I have no clue what my CSC code is now.
My original box is gone and can't really see what country it was made for, but as far as I can remember it didn't say anything on the box. The title of the original amazon.com listing says: Internationally Sourced (Middle East/Africa/Asia) Version G935FD which doesn't say much.
I don't know what to do, I'm a bit scared to flash it with just about any country firmware. There's got to be a way to find more about this phoe CSC?

Download cpuz app from play store. From the app you will find what is your phone chipset. If it is exynos download any 935fd nougat firmware and flash it with Odin.basically 935fd is a unlock version. it's support all csc version and you will also get update how much I know.

I have an rooted Android 7 on my S7 Edge DUOS without issues.

Help please, I flashed rom and ruined phone

Sorry, but I am a newbie so forgive me if this is stupid!
1 I had a slight battery problem so decided (why??) to flash the rom on my unlocked S7 edge. I used the 'BTU' version.
2 after flashing rom i cannot make or receive voice calls
3 i went into a samsung store they said it was an unlocked SM-G935F and had 'XEU' firmware.
4 they kindly reflashed this for me but it didn't solve the problem
5 I have just tried downloading and reflashing again with the XEU firmware. But I still cannot make or receive calls
one weird thing is that the odd text seems to get through to me
Anyone got any ideas on how to unbrick my phone? Very much appreciated.
Sorry, one extra piece of information. I am on '3'. But if I put an O2 sim in the phone it can make and receive calls. But before my first flashing it worked fine with '3'.
It seems I must have flashed the wrong firmware but have no idea what was on there. The previous owner used a EE sim in it. But it was bought not locked to a network - i think. There was no network branding on the phone.

Hey, can it boot? If yes then flash a custom rom. Some custom roms have multi csc options. Make sure to enable oem unlock before doing anything and flash modded twrp and take full backup

Yes it boots and works ok with an O2 sim but not with my '3' sim. Everything else works fine.
Thanks for your reply. But I don't want to use a custom rom. I want to get my stock rom working.
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem please?
Would it be possible to flash the wrong CSC - for example and American CSC - I am in Europe and on European CSC?
Many thanks
Bob

I'm really not sure why you suggest everyone to install TWRP? People with less knowledge shoudn't know that flashing twrp will break the knox and they won't be able to use secure folder etc. Please put more information with such suggestions.

They're probably already tripping Knox if they're here and seeking help.
I'm replying coz nobody else did and it's merely a suggestion.
Twrp can save a bricked device and it's important to make backups before experimenting. They're not kids ffs

Try flashing XEU rom via odin but use CSC file instead of Home CSC you'll loose your data so don't forget to take a backup via Smart Switch.
one more suggestion flash older firmware (again 8.0) from XEU later connect your device to pc and update to latest via smart switch.

Many thanks that sounds like an interesting idea.
But.............. if I go back to the first version of 8.0 (oreo) will it wreck Knox or anything else to do with security. I want to still be able to use samsung pay for example.
Also, i was told by a samsung shop person that you can't downgrade because there are systems in place to stop you. Though i dont know if he meant from 8 to 7 or from recent 8 to older 8.
I am planning to flash this:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935F/XEU/download/G935FXXU2EREM/222561/
due to fact that its original software was xeu. Is that ok?

you wont break the knox and you don't have to go that much back just download 2 version back from january or february will be enough.
you can't downgrade your bootloader or turn back to android 7.0 that's what they mean. Smart Switch shpuld fix the problem for you.

Forgive me but I am new to this.
So are you saying:
1. Download:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935F/XEU/download/G935FXXS3ERLF/251612/
That's the last but one from January 19.
Which has: PDA G935FXXS3ERLF
CSC G935FXEU3ERKF
2. Can I just flash that. Or must I remove the bootloader from that package and put in the current bootloader?
And I was presuming I would do all of that with Odin??? Am I wrong. Is there a way of doing it with smartswitch? (I have reset the phone and got rid of all of my information already)
update: tried flashing last rom , that didnt work. the one before wouldn't flash - i notice it has numbers'3' in the various codes rather than 4.
still not solved
Many thanks again

Flash the os via odin (select CSC file not home CSC) Untick re-partition option on odin. (Instructions)
Select all files except home_CSC from odin. BL-CP-AP and CSC
After your device boots, skip settings till you see the home page. Connect your device to pc and launch smartswitch (It could ask you to install smart switch to your device) and update latest firmware over smart switch.

Unforunately, I am getting nowhere. And cannot get my phone to work.
Odin will not let me flash any files which have '3' rather than 4 in them. For example I can flash
BL_G935FXXS4ESC1_CL14843133_QB22373776_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Because it is FXXS4.... the '4' being the important bit
But I cannot flash:
BL_G935FXXU3ERL3_CL14843133_QB20951136_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
because it is FXXU3.... the '3' being the important bit
This seems to reduce me down to the last firmware for both XEU and BTU neither of which enable me to make calls on '3' network like I have done for months before flashing.
Thanks for all of your kind help
It looks like my phone is bricked (
All the best

Bob, can you flash latest XEU? We are going to get new security patch update in few weeks. April security patch not yet release. If you can flash latest XEU you can update your device to upcoming update via Smart Switch.

Still bricked: cannot make calls
Thanks for help everyone.
I thought I would give you my conclusions so far in case they are helpful to anyone.
1 My phone was working perfectly for SMS, phone calls and data on the '3' network.
2 Because the battery life didn't seem good I decided to flash it
3 It turns out my phone was initially sold with 'XEU' firmware. But I didn't know that and so I flashed it with 'BTU' firmware - the latest edition.
4 As a result the phone could not make or receive calls on the '3' network. But... it can make and receive calls on the 'O2' network. However, '3' is my contract network and so I want to stay with that. Also, I think the companies are running down 2G transmissions ?? so eventually I may have problems with O2 .
FYI it seems the problem may be that the phone is not sending or receiving certain frequencies as otherwise why would it work ok on O2 but not 3??
**********Tried to resolve by:
5 New sim card
6 Factory reset
7 Clear partition
8 Flashing, again. I tried:
a latest XEU
b latest BTU
c previous XEU
d previous BTU
e previous XEU but with the modem file from EE
f previous XEU but with the modem file from 3
g previous XEU again but then did an over the air update to current XEU
Non of them worked.
*****Conclusion
My phone still will not make or receive calls on the 3 network - it won't register on the network (yes I have tried resetting, selecting network etc etc). It sometimes works with text messages though?? And 4G sometimes works. Otherwise the phone works perfectly, just not for phone calls.
Again on the O2 network all seems to work and I can make and receive calls.
So, to for me, it is bricked in that I can't use it as a phone.
I find it completely inexplicable that I can't get it to work on 3 for calls. There doesn't seem any logic to it.
But thanks everyone for all of your kind help. If anyone has any more suggestions I am willing to try them. Especially if they know how to turn on the relevant frequencies on the phone.
Bit of info: Samsung kindly ran a test to check the reception and transmission of signals. But the test wouldn't even start because it couldn't test the first frequency (apparently it should test lots).

RRoyy
Many thanks again for your reply. You've been very kind with your time.
Yes I can flash the current XEU but it still doesn't work. And I flashed the previous XEU and then did an update using over the air from the phone. But still it doesn't work.
Very best wishes
Bob

Weird
I put an EE sim into my phone (the previous owner had bought it unlocked but used it with an EE contract).
Then I put my '3' sim into my phone. And............ I was able to make one!! call.
After that it stopped working.
That was on XEU where I had downloaded the previous version and let it update over the air.
Does this in any way help diagnose the problem??
Thanks again.

Flash that version and update via smart switch please not ota. I've XEU device and I flashed btu many times to my device never had any problem. Than I update my device to TUR to get updates released bu Turkish operators.
There must be something about installization process that's why I'm asking you to update your device over pc via Smart Switch.

Thank you again RRoyy
I shall do as you suggest.
I think you are saying:
1 Flash previous version of XEU???
2 Then update to current version of XEU using 'smart switch'
3 Should I flash with my '3' sim card in the phone. Or not?
Is that correct?
Also, a small point but I didn't know smartswitch could update firmware. I have never used it. But shall give it a try.
If you could please tell me if the above is correct before I do it I would be most grateful. And thank you again for your time.
Side note: Today I tried an EE sim. It does work, but only on 2G. Not on 3G or auto switch. So, it may be the case that the original flashing of BTU that I did first of all somehow made the phone only 2G? Is that possible?
++Update. Smartswitch spent ages trying to update but failed at the last bit. IT downloaded the software but failed on installation. I have no idea why.
Any suggestions??
Best wishes
Bob

Hello again. So I still haven't had any luck.
I flashed the BTU before the current version. But then the smartswitch wouldn't update it to the current version. It claimed it was already current. It wouldn't update over the air either.
I then flashed the XEU before the current version and I DID manage to get smartswitch to update it to the current version. But '3' sim still not working.
It seems that the problem revolves around certain frequencies that do/don't work on my phone. I suppose it could be a hardware issue though that is unlikely seeing as it happened immediately after I flashed the phone for the first time.
This gives rise to two quesions:
1 Does flashing the firmware get rid of EVERYTHING on the phone. Or does it leave residual bits of information that aren't overwritten?
2 Perhaps the problem is the 'CP' software which seems to be the same for all the options I can flash.
3 If I could flash with firmware from another country with a different CP file perhaps that might push the phone into action.
4 Is there a way to check what frequencies my phone can and cannot receive transmit. I don't mean the specifications. I mean the actual received/transmitted frequencies/bands.
Many thanks again.
Finally, apologies for posting this without logging in but there is a problem with trying to login to the forum on this Chromebook. The space for name and password is not visible. Works ok in windows 10 but not on my chromebook.
Best wishes

1) Yes I believe the efs of the phone is not wiped when flashing software. Everything else is wiped.
2) You could try another country rom. Just make sure the model number is the same. Changing the CP could work as CP is the modem file.

Newbie from iPhone moved to android, got some questions please help me..

UPDATE:
I need an urgent help however.. I changed my csc to SPRINT from ATnT, using *#272*IMEI number# method. I kept changing to T mobile, and all, until I got stuck with SPRINT.
Now I tried the *#272*IMEI number# method and it won't let me do it with SPRINT CSC.
HELP please ( I just want to go back to ATnT or T mobile again..
Hi guys,
I just gave me iphone xs max to my wife since her iphone 7 is already too buggy and slow. Now that I moved to s10+, I love it and but the customization option is overwhelming me. Happy though that its customizable.
Then I realize 1 critical thing. I bought a snapdragon USA version of AT&T from local importer. I am located in Asia. When I looked at the software version, its only at "G975USQU1ASD3" with security patch, March 2019. I tried for 2 days now to get the OTA update and it just wont come. Saying that I already got the latest update.
Naturally I checked google and found so many updates, and one of them, night mode in camera, I really want. Now I am a newbie in all of these. My question is.. how do I get the non OTA update? I don't have a PC, but I might be able to use my work PC. I do have an micro SD card.
In summary:
1. Where to find the update files? the non OTA version
2. Is it doable without PC?
3. Can I just jump to the latest firmware update, or do I have to do it manually one by one?
4. Will it wipe my phone, because I spent hours customizing it before checking the problem.
Thank you very much if there's anyone willing to help me figuring things out.
regards,

1.You can download firmwares on sammobile.com for your model
2.You can use work PC but need get small software named Odin and samsung drivers for correct work
3.You not need install one by one you can flash directly to latest one but must use HOME_CSC and make backup with samsung app named smart switch which is already on phone if not you can get it on Google Play Store

Hi, check the thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/guide-g975f-flashing-megathread-faqs-t3936704
there are answers for all your questions=)

thank you very much guys!
I need an urgent help however.. I changed my csc to SPRINT from ATnT, using *#272*IMEI number# method. I kept changing to T mobile, and all, until I got stuck with SPRINT.
Now I tried the *#272*IMEI number# method and it won't let me do it with SPRINT CSC.
HELP please ( I just want to go back to ATnT or T mobile again..

To try and force a change of the csc power down your phone, remove the SIM card and boot up your phone without any SIM inserted. After the phone has completely booted up insert your SIM and you should get a message that the network settings are being updated.
I purchased an unlocked AT&T S10+ as well to use on T-Mobile. Since you don't actually have AT&T service I would very strongly recommend that you flash the U1 (unlocked) firmware. There are instructions for doing this in another XDA thread.
AT&T firmware is modded specifically for their messaging, network and WiFi services. Since I'm not an AT&T customer I got no OTA updates until I flashed the U1 firmware. Immediately after flashing the U1 firmware and booting up OTA updates were available to download and I receive OTA updates when they are available so there's no further need to manually flash updates using a computer.
The current U1 firmware has night mode for the camera and was just updated this week to the August security patch (which is good for Samsung).

Hi thank you very much for your help. I appreaciate it. However, as you can see from my opening post, I kinda did a mistake and locked myself out of AT&T now.. I am stuck with Sprint after changing CSC 3x feeling safe.. then Spint removed my ability to change CSC via *#272*IMEI#
:crying::crying::crying:

You shouldn't need to change the CSC using the dial code. If you cold start your phone without a SIM card then insert the sim after your phone has fully booted up you should get a message about your network settings updating.
I would also still recommend flashing the U1 unlocked firmware.

Hi thanks again for replying to me. I tried many times doing this but as soon as my SIM card got in, SPRINT OMADM took over.. I can't even get rid of the notification.. sigh..

This might help:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...-to-remove-sprint-omadm-notification-t3636264
That's apparently something annoying that's specific to Sprint.
To get rid of any US carrier stuff on your phone I would still suggest using the modified Odin (which can be found in the XDA firmware flashing threads for the S10+) and flash the U1 firmware version which is carrier free.

Sm-g975u need help switching att to tmobile ????'s

sm-g975u unlocked att phone wanting to change to tmobile. I have a tmobile sim and had originally plugged this in. The phone works fine but I recently noticed it has no Ota updates occurring. I would like to load tmobile firmware on it to enable some of the tmobile features as well but primary concern is ota updates.

When I try says fully updated when I put it on samsung switch it says fully updated
Can this be done?
What firmware do you suggest?
Csc *#272imei#(may have that wrong) but is recognized and does work not sure when and what to use here, many options.
Also, not sure of the answer here, but if I run an update or csc change (the phone is unlocked) would it require me to unlock it again for any reason?
I am trying to get the phone close to a tmobile if that is possible
Thank you in advance if i need to give more info please let me know.

Since you have a t mobile SIM card, now all you need is the patched version of Odin, the latest t mobile firmware from sam firm, and maybe (not sure) Samsung switch. You might also need drivers for your PC to recognize your phone. This was done using Samsung Kies back in the S3 and S4 days, not sure if it or some other program is needed for the S10.

Sorry new to this which patched version of Odin? Like what number?
Also, just the latest version of tmb?

Sorry super new to this.

Got a phone from a foreign country.

Hi, so I got an AT&T Galaxy S10+ (SM-G975U) from the US and it was stuck at Android 10. I can't get any updates so I tried to flash a new firmware into my phone. The problem is, SamMobile doesn't provide AT&T firmwares for SM-G975U but other carriers like T-Mobile and Verizon is available. Can I use firmwares from other carriers for my AT&T phone?

Yes

I need help i own a S10 plus model SM-G975U AT&T variant, it runs android 10 with UI ver 2.5 I cant update the phone through its update options located in settings. I see new Android 12 Update have been released i want to update my phone can someone please tellme what CSC to use ? What PDA to use ? exactly which version of firmware should i install ? i know i am asking like a noob but please i really need some expert advise. P.S i dont know if my phone is unlocked or not ... how to check that either ? Moreover Expert Opinons be communicated to my email address which is: [email protected]

I would advise anyone looking to update not to update beyond Android 11. Android 12 has issues and not just on Samsung devices. You can download Android 11 for all US Variants here.
