Correct. As long as you use the CSC file and not the HOME_CSC file.

I want to flash the latest firmware for the S7 Edge - https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/122404/G935FXXU1DQB3_G935FOXA1DQB1_BTU/
Anything I must pay attention in Odin or just flash it the normal way?
Also, in the instructions they say to use odin v3.11.1, is it ok if I use the latest odin which is v3.12.3, or it's better if I use the version they used to avoid any surprise problems?

Just flash all 4 files, ignoring HOME_CSC.
Any Odin version should be fine.

Thanks! And besides my phone isn't originally from the UK I'll start receiving OTA updates from the UK? Or will the OTA's be received from the original country where the phone was bought?

S7 edge update to 7.0 on UK networks

I've got my phone thru EE and checked for update to 7.0 but nothing as of yet.
Has anyone in the UK received update to 7.0 and which network?
I'm thinking updating via Odin but I've read some people knox tripped using odin which is very unusal. Anyone else had the same issue?
Thanks
update
I've updated my to nougat via odin and no know tripped. Void counter remains 0.

Hi,
I'm also in the U.K using an Un-Branded Sim Free s7 edge.
I use many of the Uk Payg Networks.
You would need to wait until Samsung have sent the Firmware to EE for them to test and send back with any requested refinements and then would be pushed out to your phone. This can delay things a bit.
The Firmware should be pushed out to me directly from Samsung. (Still waiting)
Samsung U.K advised me its being sent out in waves.

Have you received update?
How are you finding it?
Thanks

ODIN doesn't trip Knox. Where did you read this exactly?
No networks have released network firmware. The only UK users to get Nougat officially are those with handsets that use stock UK BTU firmware.
If you only want Wi-Fi calling then flashing Nougat through ODIN is fine.
If you want VoLTE as well, then you need to flash the Nougat BETA 1 CSC in ODIN as well

Thanks very useful info. So I flash the other files from final release and select csc from beta 1 or flash csc separately?

I had XEO csc, flashed nougat btu, downgraded back to 6.0.1 and csc changed to XEU, flashed back to 7.0 btu and knox remained 0X0

Always flash together. All files from main release, but Nougat BETA 1 CSC. This of course will wipe your phone. Do a smart switch or Samsung cloud back up. It won't save app data, but it'll save all your .apk files, messages etc

Did you have wifi calling and volte before? can't see why a full flash wouldn't work since it has worked for everyone else that tried

Hasn't worked for everyone else. I lost WiFi calling when I went from EVR to BTU. I used Odin and flashed all files except HOME_CSC.

I'm not sure if this will help but I had similar problem with WiFi calling not working on Vodafone after flashing BTU when it used to work with BTU MM. Someone suggested to disable WiFi calling through the Vodafone app and enable it again, this fixed the issue. Do EE have a similar app or process you can try?

So you're on Germany Firmware (DBT). The firmware version you are in is the latest available.
You can keep checking using the link below...

I was looking on sammobile but when u compare at the dbt Section the newest firmware with Mine installed the pda number is the same but the csc do not Match? I am confused:/

I'm on an unbranded S7 Edge in the UK and i'm still waiting on the OTA
Edit: Looking at that sammobile page, looks like there isn't a firmware for the UK "XEU" CSC (only the UK BTU version is there)

S8 SM-950FD Jio VoLTE Support help

Noob Questions : I have scanned the forum to find answers on how enable VoLTE feature in Galaxy S8 Sm-950FD for Jio Sim. I have tried the Odin route and APN method without any success. I would request friends here to provide detailed help or pointers on how to enable VoLTE for Jio Sim. Appreciate help in advance.

No need to enable VoLTE. just choose the network mode as LTE/3G/2G mode and jio volte works..
for me its working from day one.

Thanks for the reply. i have network status as mentioned. Mobile Data worKs fine but not able maKe voice calls as Jio requires VoLTE support. As of now I am usIng Jio4g voice app. Am I missing something?

I have bought my S8 from Dubai and there was no VOLTE option. However my Jio sim worked fine by default. Updating to Oreo has now given me the VOLTE option.

I got this device from US. I am on Nougat. Updating Oreo will solve the problem?

Can anyone kindly help please!!!!

Backup your data, Download the latest INS (India) firmware for your device. Insert the Jio sim in slot 1 and flash the firmware through Odin. Use the regular CSC and not the Home_CSC as we need to factory reset the device. Post that you should have the INS CSC.

Search for the Oreo Odin update on Google that was released for India a week back but it is no longer available as Sam took it down. Otherwise, flash the last Nougat version. Yes, you'll loose root, twrp etc as the phone would return to the stock condition. I could have recommended flashing files through twrp, but I believe, your active CSC is messed up so a clean flash is highly recommended.

You're doing something wrong. The active CSC can't be BTU if you followed the steps correctly. Till the time, you don't completely wipe the device, it would never fall back to the correct CSC. Additionally, you need to have an Indian sim in Slot 1 before you do the process as system dynamically allocates the CSC based on the sim in slot 1.

Can you kindly elaborate what you mean by completely wipe the device. since I am using ODiN to flash the firmware, option of complete wipe doesn't arise right.? As it puts the device to stock. The firmware from Sammobile cannot be using as TWRP flash. Also I am using JIo sim in first sim slot. Am I missing any steps..... Thanks for tIme.

In the firmware pckg, there are 2 CSC files, one is the regular CSC that completely (System,Data,Internal Storage) wipes the device and the other one is Home_CSC that wipes all except the Internal Storage. You need to use the regular CSC.
Else, right now go into Settings >> Reset and do a Factory Reset.

[GUIDE]: Flash Oreo build G955FXXU1CRB7 - SM-G955F

New Odin was leaked! New guide is here.
New Oreo build for Samsung Galaxy S8+ (SM-G955F) is live! G955FXXU1CRB7/G955FOXM1CRAP/G955FXXU1CRAP
Download: https://mega.nz/#F!7wo3nJID!2BPhlHlXVLNOzoxF8Cwbcw (OXM multi-CSC FW)
How to install:
Download Odin
Extract Firmware ZIP, open Odin and load BL, AP, CP and CSC packages.
Put the phone into Download mode, connect it to PC and press Start.
This FW contains both, CSC and HOME_CSC packages. CSC will repartition your device and wipe all your data, HOME_CSC allows you to keep your data.
Troubleshooting:
Odin says "Fail!":
Make sure you have correct drivers installed, try using different cable or computer.
Storage shows only 16GB after the update:
Try doing factory reset or flash CSC instead of HOME_CSC to repartition the device.
This does NOT trip KNOX!
Or if you don't want to wait, I have created a bash script, which repacks the firmware for you:
GitHub: https://github.com/kernel-killer/sam-fw-tool
All you need to do is drop the script (repack.sh) to folder containing the firmware, open console and execute:
Code:
cd firmware/location && ./repack.sh
You might also need to fetch some prerequisites before running the script:
Code:
sudo apt-get install tar unzip liblz4-tool coreutils
The script is for bash on Linux but can be also run on Ubuntu on Windows 10 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) or Cygwin.

Hi, is the firmware modified to work with Odin? If so, can it be flashed using OFFICIAL Odin? And are those packages properly checksummed? Thanks.

Already on CRAP. Any chance we will be able to flash CRB7 via SD?

Yes it can be flashed with Odin and it checksummed. Original official firmware.

Thanks for the upload - about to flash it now.
What country/region is this firmware based on?
Pardon my potentially silly question - could I flash an XSA CSC file to make this more of an "Australian" release (for example HOME_CSC_XSA_G955FXSA1AQFE_CL11665648_QB13965623_REV00_user_low_ship.tar)

The firmware contains OXM multi-CSC, it does not matter which region it was meant for (but it was DBT) because all regions included in OXM receive identical firmware.
Generally, it is not recommended to mix parts of different firmwares and because G955FXSA1AQFE was CSC for Nougat, it cannot be guaranteed, that it will work, however, if it worked with CRAP, it should work with CRB7, too.
