And what happens when i flash all 4 Files but mix them up like for example i have the G935FXXS1BPJ1 firmware but just flash AP and BL from it and the Other Remaining slots with other firmware (CP and CSC) or i have to flash all of the 4 files from G935FXXS1BPJ1 to get OTA's
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jhunkab:
All four from same stock release package - - one way to check, after flashing with latest stock package for given region/country - use PhoneInfo app and see if all your "Firmware" components match with "Latest Firmware".. then wait for OTA release :) OTA depends on delta updates and may rely on previous state of Firmware - that's why you need to stick to full stock package flash to receive OTAs.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
4 files to get OTA .

And the only thing you can mix is CSC .

The main 3 files AP , BL , and CP , have to be from the same firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] eRPeeX:
I flash AP, BL and CP from i.e. PHN and HOME_CSC from my LUX firmware.

Yesterday I flashed an older HOME_CSC instead of the latest. So I rebooted in download mode and only flashed my latest HOME_CSC. Works fine.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jhunkab:
go a level up and look for "Secure Startup" .. it would ask you to setup a startup password and you will need to remember it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davy4475:
one up. No secure startup?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:

Hello friends!

Could someone perhaps confirm?

I installed German dbt bpj1/bph2,

So far, Argentina bpii /bph9 seems to have slightly better battery life than German dbt ,

That is my particular case anyway ,but, would like to hear if anyone else had experienced the same...

Have a great weekend everyone!

After further research, I did install back German dbt, this time around I used some additional options on Odin like nand erase, efs erase and bl flash.

Battery life seems better after a couple charge cycles.

Can i flash a xxu firmware over a xxs firmware? Is it solved?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Masochistmanatee:
i have a few questions.

-Does the region/carrier of the firmware matter? could i just use any old country?(phone is unlocked)

-I keep all data in my phone by flashing with odin correct?(all i have done is cf auto root, no twrp or xposed)

Thnaks

PS Is there a FAQ i missed cus there probably should be
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] eRPeeX:
If you flash your original/previous HOME_CSC you keep your data. Backup is not mandatory.

If you flash another CSC your data will be erased. So in this (two) case(s) you should (could) make a backup.

Not a nandroid backup but a regular one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Masochistmanatee:
so how do i get my own original home_csc? The random switzerland firmware i downloaded has a home_csc if i use that will it erase
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
If you want to have your data intact:

download / use the HOME_CSC of your CURRENT firmware installed!

If your current firmware has CSC AUT, you must use the HOME_CSC AUT!

This has been mentioned several times in this thread already (this forum has an excellent search function!), and some things are also explaned in msg #1 & #2 of this thread...

I wish that Samsung stop the "REGION" Software way they use, The updates are the same for all Countries so why bother devolving a ROM for every region, even if the base is the same and they just customize it still it takes a long time for update to roll out. an addition apps can be installed later from the Galaxy App.

How do you go back to older firmwares, and where i can find them? is it via Odin>
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] IOmega666:
Guys, I have a couple of questions.

First, few months ago I flashed BPH6 or BPHJ, don't remember, when using a Custom ROM, so it failed, then I searched all over and fixed it, don't remember the exact things I've done that time but I fixed it, this time I was in Note 7 Port ROM and flashed XSA APC8 firmware and failed it, guess you can't just simply flash when are in a Custom ROM? Nevertheless I fixed it again, by flashing TWRP, erase data, flash custom recovery then flash BPH6 complete firmware.

So my questions are, is it like that? Whenever I'm on a Custom ROM I gotta do this if want to get back to stock firmware? And also, now that I have BPH6, a update is wanting to install, I read that if I flash latest CSC of the Country Code of the BPH6 I have, that is XEO I thinkg, that'll stop updates? Or how can I stop updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dazed1:

SamFirm has been discontinued. It no longer works. The devs have made the fw available on their website http://updato.com/; no speed limit.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kylothow:
updato is a big joke, they host on their servers so it's way slower to show updates than SamFirm which instead directly accesses Samsung's servers, and most of the times I get "hotlinking is not cool" error, without considering all the ads.

In my opinion SamFirm is still a better option.

It did: BPJC (ZTO): 9113173 vs BPJE (TUR/KSA): 9519568. Last time flashing a ROM after the one from the TUR CSC gave a 'com.android.phone'-error and you had to factory reset your phone to resolve this. So there might be a risk involved if you choose to flash this update...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] daLareid:
I got my phone when they first became available through ebay, it's a Duos from the UAE. However I just check the default CSC and it's set to MRU (MAURITIUS) *EDIT* (tried a different app and now it shows AFG for Afghanistan as my CSC) country I didn't even know existed. I was browsing through the firmware database at sammobile however I don't seem to be able to find any US firmware not sure if that's cause they're all restricted to brand bought phones, I just want a US one that might receive OTAs more regularly since I'm still on August update, if there are no US available which should I switch to? or just stick to what I have?

For anyone running the BPHJ firmware, are you experiencing random freezing & reboots? I'm tempted to flash the latest version BPJE to see if that fixes the issue. I'm leaning more to software issue than hardware, it's not happening frequently enough to make me think it's hardware, not to mention certain apps would freeze my s7 edge, Tapatalk being the main culprit but I also had the freeze happen while Google play was installing apps on a couple of occasions.

I re-flashed the firmware that was already on the device, did a factory reset before and after flashing with odin.

Probably the latest version for your country. You can get newer ones from sammobile or updato but you have to flash the csc for your country which you can find how to do that in msg#1 and the latest firmware is listed in msg #2

You have to flash with HOME_CSC of your region that is actual on your phone. Otherwise you will loose data.

Why? NO: it's NOT weird! In your opinion BTU must have the 1st updates, because they are the UK?

PHN (Netherlands) has also CL 9113173 almost a month now...
