i dont see what the big deal is with the csc? i flashed the bell firmware (AP ONLY) on my rogers stock rooted MM. after this and a few failed Root attempts i had NO CSC tied to my phone or Firmware as per the results of Phone Info app. literally the CSC page was blank. after playing around and some tips from other users i needed to wipe data inorder to mount the data partition and su root. when i did that i still had NO CSC tied to phone or firmware.

anyways i had no bloatware from any carrier installed. i was playing around and by mistake turned off OEM UNLOCK and forgot to turn it on and rebooted.... YAY! FRP BLOCKED BINARY.... so i flash again... however... this time i flash the bell AP, CP, BL and the OYA_CSC. NOT the HOME one. then i booted to recovery flashed TWRP then SuperSU and DM disable 5.1. once i booted to the system i got a msg " installing applications" once in i saw that it had automatically installed the rogers (cr)apps. i proceeded to remove them and then wanted to see if the *#272*IMIE# worked.. and it did. i had all options pop up and available to select (before this didnt work when i only flashed AP).

so long story short...im on rogers rooted with bell firmware flashed and rogers csc auto installed using oya

steps:

1) flash bell firmware (AP,BL,CP and OYA CSC)

2) Flash twrp 3.1.0 via odin - boot directly to recovery after flash dont let system boot up

3) wipe data (type yes in the box)

4) reboot to recovery

5) flash supersu 2.79

6) flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip (from chainfire)

7) boot to system

optional: phone info *Samsung* app from play store. to check what csc is installed

*#272*15digitIMIE# <- you need # at the end eg: *#272*123456789012345#

this is exactly what i did no HOME csc

A user on reddit found a way to change CSC for people with XAC without rooting. Just put in *#243203855# on the phone menu and it gives you the option to change to other carriers.

Still waiting on my device... Says shipped and should arrive within 1-3 business days, but it's been saying that since last Wednesday.

I called Costco, Wireless Etc., where I preordered it, and they told me that they have a couple S7E in stock for Bell Mobility, my carrier. They said I could just drop by and pick a device up (they put one aside for me), but my question is, it won't be the preordered device, will I be eligible for the Gear VR, it clearly says that I'll get an email when it's ready for pick up.

Here's a screenshot again for my device status

Think twice about ordering from BELL!

Went to pickup my device which I had put $50 deposit on.

The rep tells me I can NO longer keep my plan! I specifically ask whether I can keep my current plan when I place my order and the rep info me "of course you can." Now, on the day I go pick up my device, they inform me that my plan is now $10/month more! (over 2-years that's $240 more they want from me) I was so wary of BELL changing my plan that I was constantly checking online that I can keep my plan. Didn't think they would change it the day I go pick up my device. Can't believe I am paying $499.99 plus tax for the edge and now they want to increase my plan by $240 for the life of the contract!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sc2ascend:
Canadian carriers are evil. Rogers wanted to pull the same **** with me. I pre-ordered directly from the Samsung Experience store instead and I'm paying full price ($999.99) but I get a 128gb class 10 microsd, gear vr, and an unlock code. Also idk about bell but on Rogers they used to offer -$20/month for brining your own phone so the decision pretty much made itself, if I ever get a subsidized phone they will increase my plan by $20/month.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] oxxshadow:
if the units from the experience store are not carrier controlled, does it mean they will get updates faster?

BELL got rid of BYOD discount

Bell got rid of BYOD discount. Which means either you give them money to do hardware upgrade or you paying the same for no hardware upgrade (more money in Bell's pocket without having to subsidize for new hardware)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] msavic6:
All the S7's sold are the same, even the ones sold in the carrier stores. They come unlocked and once you insert your first simcard, it locks to that provider and downloads the bloat ware.

The difference with the experience store ones is that Samsung provides you with an unlock code.

The good thing about this is there is really only 1 device version to update and if Samsung played there cards right, they have the opportunity to completely take out the carriers from the update process. We'll see what happens when the first updates start rolling out to the S7's.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sc2ascend:
Well idk, I only pay $40 a month and I have a good plan with data. Don't know many other Canadians that can say the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jproy12:

Hi….Curious about your bloatware comment.

I picked up a Rogers sony z3 compact tablet (LTE) a while back. Like you mentions, once you insert the carrier SIM, carrier bloatware gets installed. However some users learned to not install the SIM until after you do all the necessary updates via wifi. Once all the Sony and Android updates were complete, users like myself inserted the Rogers SIM and ZERO bloatware got installed.

Crossing my fingers this is the case when I picked up my s7e.

What i did was rooted my phone, and instealled TWRP, i continued to try and install xposed and my phone soft bricked. Its currently stuck in a bootloop, first it was on the Galaxy S7 edge loading screen, and not its loaded into a black screen with white SAMSUNG writing and its dimming in and out. I'm stuck and don't know what to do. If i hold volume down + Home + power it goes to the odin screen thats says "downloading" blah blah blah. IDK HELP

This is the screen I get when I put in the code.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
There has been talk for a while of another secret code that works for XAC, other than 272 + imei. Problem was, all people who got the service centers to give them the code, refused to share it. Now it's out in the open, thankfully, cause we won't have to deal with same issue of people being stuck on XAC every firmware update

Please don't give misleading information. Changing the CSC WILL wipe the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] fguerra024:
So probably a round about way of doing it but I sorted my problem

1. Flashed stock rwc apk3 marshmallow build

2. Twrp and Rooted

3. Formatted data and installed https://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-30-t3392957

4. Chose RWC as my CSCusing that it finally changed my CSC from XAC to RWC

5. Then flashed bell nougat files in Odin (oya CSC not home) and Rogers CSC stuck

Now I did have a random restart while I was restoring and applying a theme but I'm not sure if I was just overloading it. Weird. I think I'm in the clear for future otas months down the line lol

I can't seem to get wifi calling working on an unlocked S7 edge. It was reset to Fido (*#272...) and when I try to register, after the verification code, it says device not supported. Fido "added" the IMEI to my account, but that did f*-all. They claim an unlocked phone is not the same as their phone. I think that is BS. Seems they "can't" add the IMEI properly and only their phones are supported. Anyone find a solution to this?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
Please refrain from posting same post in multiple threads.

That said, they can add the imei properly, when you get right CSR, and hit the right note with the story.

They are doing it every day with iphones. On Android it is much more difficult. Not because of the technicalities, but rather the will, and/or procedure being put in place for less technical CSR.

Once you have right csc, there is nothing on your end, that is stopping VoLTE and VoWiFi from working. It is all about imei discrimination on their end.

Please note that their own phones, can, and do, sometimes glitch, and have you calling multiple times, to have your profile reset. It also can interfere, with your voicemail setup, as well as conditional call forwarding, for those without voicemail (or those like me that have called it to have it frozen so I can have conditional call forwarding).

Over the years, since note 5 and advent of voice over lte, and later wifi, I have tried numerous times, unsuccessfully, to make them work, on rogers/Fido. Did number of tricks on my end (root of course) to force the connection, and was partially successful. Only to have it time out, and disconnect later. The CSR that I got never budged.

The only successful case I know of personally, is my friend, who Btw is a salesman at heart, and who after many, many phonecalls, with very elaborate story, of Costco warranty replacement, etc, was able to get his samsung store bought, unlocked phone, to be properly added to his Internet profile, and properly working.

Sadly most of us, are not my friend, and don't have that kind of drive, and tenacity, as well as penchant for lying.
