All Canadian carriers are the same and buying the phone outright makes no difference. You're just giving Samsung a ton of money for late or no updates again, if updates are a concern to you.

By outright I mean the international F variant. Which do get upgraded first. Thought that was implied. Sorry for the confusion.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheIgster:
OK. Why switch to Telus then? You made it sound like it had something to do with the update time periods. I'm guessing you got a better plan or something I suppose.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Yes. I work for them. ? Lol. I'm close enough to the end of my contract with Rogers to buy it out.

Sure do.

My S7 edge F variant got nougat awhile ago :D

What a bummer. My screen(bothom 2/3) started flickering. Local samsung service center said they wont touch it because warranty is set to 1. Has anyone here(Canadians) had success in getting warranty repairs with rooted phone? I flashed back stock just for appearances but the first thing they did was go to download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ragz:
I have never tried , but, I always buy insurance plans so that if something goes wrong I'm just claiming for a new one..... 4 phones and 4 plans later no claims, but.... You never know.

Sorry. Replied to the wrong person.

Yeah bro. They're onto us. We were able to get away with rooting up until early 2016 but yeah. It's a no go. Tripping knox voids the warranty. You'll have to pay for that repair.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TRoN_1:
Yes they are, but i am absolutely not paying for that repair, Samcrap is.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sc2ascend:
I thought you already said they weren't because it was rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TRoN_1:
They definitely are full of s*hit. Persistence is the key. There are authorized service centers out there that don't look at knox status. Anyway, screw Samf*ck. I found a buyer on kijiji, and yes, I told him it was rooted(he wanted to root anyway). I say this because I just F*UCKIN KNOW some malaka on this forum will claim I tried to deceive the kijiji buyer.

No, but from what I heard on Reddit march
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
I'm not even worried about nougat at this point, any upgrade would be appreciated as I'm still on the November security patch with Rogers...

Am I correct in assuming that we'll get the direct from Google update to assistant before the carrier nougat update?

Has anyone received it yet or have any credible info on timeline?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheIgster:
You mean Google Assistant? If so, then yes, everything I've read will simply make it available in the Play Store to download once it is available in Canada. Has nothing to do with the update to N. They are rolling out Google Assistant right now to the US and then we are next. Hopefully within a few days to week from what I hear.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] itzik_man:
Assistant NEW update, is currently available on MM & Nougat only in the US (FOR s7e)!

Strange "Google Settings"

I have the S7 edge with the stock UK Nougat installed.

I recently saw a strange thing when I want to enter the Google Settings it prompts me to select a profile.. I don't remember this to be asked in the past.

Do you guys have the same issue?

Thanks!

I got the new Google assistant a couple of days ago on my s7 edge from rogers...my son with the identical phone and network is still waiting so it's a staged roll out..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheIgster:
Changed default language to English US as opposed to Canadian. Other than some spelling, they are identical of course, so no issues leaving it there. Joined the Beta for the Google app in Google Play and cleared cache for Google app as well as Google Play. Got the updated (beta) Google app and GA is now there and working.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] orlans21:
so that worked for you. I'm also on the play services beta but my language on the google app is canada. so i should change it to US

So how would one install Nougat on Rogers if they're not willing to wait until Monday? Any potential issues doing so?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] 32dave:
Yes after install go through setup but I wouldn't sign into anything after its all done go into recovery and reset otherwise its puts Bell csc in I am in the process of installing now having a issue with cf autoroot but I think that was my fault.

Installed Nougat with Odin using CSC_OYA(not Home_CSC). From recovery there doesn't seem to be a way to reset CSC and select other one(Fido for example). Says XAC is installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] 32dave:
I tripped FRP and none of the videos work on nougat fml rookie mistake lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TRoN_1:
Is there a dial code to reset CSC to Fido? I am pretty sure all Canadian CSCs are in this latest Nougat release. I recall once using *#272*IMEI#(doesnt work) but that may have been for a different phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] 32dave:
if you have root you can use phone info to see and change csc codes. It should be set to xac which is unbranded Canadian

Ok got root and after checking yes all the csc s are in there
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TRoN_1:
Thanks! If I keep it at XAC, will wifi calling and/or Volte work?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyclops1055:
Odin 3.11 to update to Nougat

Will Odin erase my data if I update to Nougat?

I have a Canadian unlocked S7 Edge (XAC) if I update using Bell's Nougat update, will my data be erased? Also do I use CSC or Home_CSC?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] oxxshadow:
Did you set the CSC to bell to get the OTA, and are now trying to reset it back to Fido? I was thinking of doing the same thing, however, I am not sure if it impacts OTA in the future
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] 32dave:
I was in a custom rom when I flashed so i wiped but it does have a pit file in the tar so it might
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ARNOB:
[/COLOR]

No it won't if you use HOME_CSC. I just flashed the BMC update and everything is working perfect. Even my CSC remained at XAC.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyclops1055:
So are these all the files I should be using?

BL

AP

CP

HOME_CSC (The one from the Bell Update)

Im on rogers 6.0.1 rooted. Can i flash the ota from bell with flashfire? And retain root and data?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jark99:
I changed my CSC to Bell, downloaded Nougat, it installed automatically. Then just switched CSC back to Koodo, and everything works fine!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] oxxshadow:
I wonder if it impacts future OTAs. And if I'm not mistaken it would wipe your device twice because your are resetting the CSC twice?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TRoN_1:
How do you switch between CSCs?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jark99:
*#272*IMEI#

Then just select VMC and download Nougat

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

It shouldn't impact OTAs at all, I've switched CSCs multiple times, and yes that means it factory resets twice
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sunny_j:
Are there instructions somewhere that I can follow? I'm a book noob to this and don't want to brick my phone. My s7 edge is from telus. Thanks

---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

strange.... so i flashed it with flashfire... lost root and it asked for password when it all finished... then i whiped cache and booted and its working. still no root though
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ptesmoke:
can someone confirm they can change to rogers csc after flashing with odin?

ok so *#272*imei# doesnt do anything
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] eboy_gb:
I had the same thing happen to me when I updated Marshmallow a while back.

I re-flashed CF-Autoroot through Odin and everything was fine. (not sure if that would work with Nougat...?)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] unit68:
thanks, yeah im in the process of flashing twrp so i can flash a zip of magisk. right now i cant even flash zip files in recovery. if this doesnt work ill try to use cf again. thats what i used on mm
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ptesmoke:
when i put in *#272*IMEI# i have to hit send,,,then it says unknown application

in stock recovery it says multi csc enabled...how the heck do i change it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] balpreetsaini:
Yes, I was able to change it to the rogers csc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ptesmoke:
when i punch in that code it says USSD running, then UNKNOWN APP and doesnt do anything...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] balpreetsaini:
Have you disabled any applications?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] butthurtlocker:
I remember when I could ask a question around here without a sarcastic re direct... yes I tried that babe but yielded a fat no so I thought I'd come here. Oops
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ptesmoke:
no i literally just flashed

i tried using phone info to do it but i need root, and tripped dm verify. reflashing and trying again. i guess the process is flash trwp, boot into twrp, swipe to enable modification, install magisk.

i didnt swipe allow modification so i think thats what i did wrong.

still doesnt explain why i cant just use the code to change csc
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] unit68:
i tripped dm too trying to reflash now. what twrp are you flashing? didnt work for me last time
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ptesmoke:
i just tried twice with latest 3.1.0.0 so its def not working according to the threads instructions. maybe the previous twrp will work?

i was using magisk 11.1 , do i have to root with supersu?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] unit68:
not sure...im still flashing the firmware was having issues but its finally fllashing.. do you still trip dm when you flash twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ptesmoke:
yup tried the last one, but i think we need to flash the dm veritity disable
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] unit68:
im still trying, im able to flash supersu, and once i do i get the optioon to install twrp app. but i tripped dm before i got to that point. im reflashing now.

as soon as twrp is flashed boot into it dont let the system boot then in twrp swipe to mount system twrp i unmounted mtp and mount system. only issue i have is data partition not mounted. gonna try one last time. after that ill leave it for the night hopefully chainfire comes up with an update or something....

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 PM ----------

forget it. doesnt work, need custom kernal, twrp update or chainfire update... unless someone else knows. ...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ptesmoke:
you need to format data.

flash TWRP via odin and disable auto reboot

boot into recovery TWRP

format data type yes

reboot recovery

flash supersu

flash dm veritity disable 5.1

reboot
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] unit68:
Thanks ill try tomorrow. Id need to backup my data first
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ma678:
Super fast downloading site. Every smooth update. Flashed on my Fido S7 edge without changing CSC.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ptesmoke:
i tried changing csc with ddevice info, it looked like it worked, rebooted and factory reset, but remained at XAC. do we need to change to BMC first and then RWC?

im going to compile the kernel source code for Farts see if i can disable DM and other security turds and root
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] unit68:
thanks this worked , are you still having issues getting rwc csc?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] unit68:
so the *#272 doesnt work for me either but i checked with the Phone into app and i have no CSC tied to the firmware .. i only flashed the AP

i have lte and everthign is working fine ...... annnnnd spoke to soon..... i took some screenshots of the app showing no csc but for some reason couldnt get my phone to connect to pc to transfer them and upload.... so i rebooted.... and i got frp lock

ohhhhh farts.... i believe this was due to disabling dev options ie oem unlock before i booted
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] unit68:
lol ok so im back and now i have all the rogers junk. i reflashed the rom (AP, BL, CP AND CSC not the home one the csc_oya

then booted up it didnt have as much stuff in the menu like no service provider KT Phone

then i flashed twrp booted. wiped data, booted to twrp, installed supersu and the dm disable 5.1.

then booted.

im rooted and have all the wonderful rogers (cr)apps installing

once it settles down ill check the csc but im assuming im on rwc now.

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

also i can use *#272*imie# and it works to change csc
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TRoN_1:
So I guess rooting is required for *#272*imie# to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cosmic Blue:
Incorrect you do not need to be rooted for it to work but you may need a stock dailer for it to work.

Some of the modified dialers do not allow codes to work.

I believe that some where in the dialer there is a code line that directs the numbers to be linked with the OS that is removed when modified.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TRoN_1:
I flashed stock rom, nothing was modified. Didn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kwarwick:
I can also confirm that *#272*imie# doesn't on stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] itzik_man:
I can confirm that *#272*IMEI#, DOES WORK on my Telus phone with Bell Nougat!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kwarwick:
I'm using a factory unlocked (XAC) S7E on Public Mobile. I also installed the Bell version of Nougat, and flashed it with the HOME CSC file. Seems like CSC or carrier has something to do with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sunny_j:
can you please post the instructions on how to update my Telus s7 edge? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] itzik_man:
My S7E is functioning with any issues since yesterday installation:

Excellent battery life, fast UI and Network connections.

- I have wiped the cache partition, before flash and after flash (Pressing; Volume up + Home button + Power)

- Backed up the phone with Samsung switch

- Flashed the Bell Nougat with Odin (latest version) using; AP, BL, CP and HOME_CSC_OYA (not CSC_OYA), lines in the downloaded firmware.

You didn't loose data and Telus CSC stays intact.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TRoN_1:
Ok, I see your ! and raise you !! Well, I guess you didn't read what others are saying. You used Home_CSC and others who can't get *#272*IMEI# to work used the other CSC. So, maybe it doesn't work!!

:)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] itzik_man:
Leave your personal opinion or your guesswork out of this forum, I red every word!

If you and everyone else came to a conclusion that not using the HOME_CSC line in the firmware causing the malfunction of the *#272 code on the S7E, so this discussion is useless!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TRoN_1:
Oh I see. It is NOT guesswork malaka if I and others tried and it did NOT work. It's more a fact. Try READing more often. What's useless is you insisting it must work, when in fact it did not.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
Ok. This has been discussed several times, in multiple threads and multiple devices. Not exact cases in other threads, but rather the principle.

In this thread it has been discussed at least once,... Probably more.

One thing you must know about Canadian s7... Open, unlocked, Canadian csc (XAC) , does not have *#272#... Command. It, has been disabled by samsung. Provider phones csc has the feature enabled. Flashing home csc, or regular csc, does not switch you to Canadian open csc on its own.

So how does it happen?

The user, most likely flashed custom firmware, without making sure they repack said firmware to keep their chosen provider csc. Or otherwise make sure they have their provider csc before flashing stock canadian with Odin. Via manually moving files to system/csc or using flashable zip that does the same.

Once they flash with Canadian firmware with Odin, by using non-home csc, the phone is forced to factory reset on first boot. Because new firmware, when it compares the previous system/csc files, can not find any Canadian provider csc, it defaults to Canadian open csc (previous phones always used to default to bell). Which is why guys that flashed with home csc don't get in that situation, because they dirty flash, and old csc is still loaded into ram and active. So see at least 2 ways of not getting yourself in this situation.

Yes now, you need root to get your provider csc back (there are several ways of doing it, all requiring root, my favourite being discussed, oh, some 8 months ago in this thread), as 272 menu no longer works...

Now this will get lost in the thread, and few months down the road, we will be singing this same song again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Aakash Kaushal:
Could you please share bell csc please.

Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ptesmoke:
THIS

Guys read this post, If you ended up on XAC CSC its because you werent on a Canadian provider CSC before you flashed and the software picked the closest thing which would be unbranded Canadian(XAC)

to get back to your provider csc, until the nougat flashable csc zip is updated for our new nougat csc's, you need to flash a MM rom and use the MM csc selector zip, flash your desired csc, then odin the Nougat update and your csc will be intact and updated properly.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bmaltais:
Sorry to ask if it has been answer but what is the issue of running XAC? Isn't it a blessing to be finally out of a carrier specific mods and bloat? Any downside beside the possible loss of VoLTE/WiFi on Rogers?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] itzik_man:
I really don't understand your request?

The Bell CSC is one of the unzipped file in the Bell firmware I have downloaded from Sammobile.

How do you expect me to share it? explain...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cosmic Blue:
you do not neded to open the file just :

upload the unzipped file to a post in this thread or upload the file to file sharing site and then post the url.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ptesmoke:
if you dont mind not having wifi calling and VoLTE then XAC is fine, I use both so thats why being on my carriers CSC is preferred in my case. there may be other features not included but those are the 2 major ones.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Aakash Kaushal:
There should be csc named file in the zip, just share that file..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bmaltais:
Why don't you grab the full ROM, unzip and grab the CSC from it? I shared a link to a fast download site for the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] 32dave:
These are just the Canadian nougat csc files NOT FLASHABLE the previous link is the full firmware

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862711115
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
Please note that there is not such thing as bell csc, rogers csc... Etc... In stock firmware. It is all identical multi csc, no matter which stock firmware you get it from. The only way to get specific provider flashable csc, is to make one yourself, or if someone does it for you and shares.

Much easier not getting yourself in situation of needing one, or just replacing files manually, and doing a reset.

Just my 2 ¢
