I just used the download from [MENTION=1586120]henklbr[/MENTION] in post #2....it changed my CSC to PHN... If you don't mind having Netherlands firmware I would just do that one super easy.... Download the US app from playstore to Un-rar.... Place files in there rightful spots and done.....

Note

CSC spot is where you place the Home_csc.... Super easy...

Summery... If you want just PHN... Op [MENTION=1586120]henklbr[/MENTION] has done all the work for you... All you havr to do is download Un-rar and flash... If you want a different CSC that isn't I am the Op... Then you will have to use the program..... All firmwares will be fine as long as they have your language and it's for the 935F

Edit*..... Oops looks like you got it done while I was typing.... Good

How I can check that I've enable this function?

Also, is there any guideline for ODIN? Since it's my first time flashing Samsung phone.

No issues with G935FXXU1BPHC (ROM or baseband). A little early to be sure but the battery life seems to be the same as the previous. I dirty flashed the ROM. Android System is between 10 and 15%. I observed that Android System is increasing while WiFi is ON. Without WiFi, Android System is under 10%.

I live in the US, and I just bought S7 edge dual sim with Singapore firmware. I currently with AT&Tcall text etc is fine but there are limitations with Singapore firmware. So I want to change firmware to use in the US. Which firmware is the best for using with my device. Please help and point me to download page (not sammobile) Thanks in advance for any help. Naomi
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cacofonix:
Which limitations exactly?

See post #1 of this thread. It has full instructions on how to switch your SW to whichever version you'd like to use without losing your existing data & configuration (note the HOME_CSC file). The entire setup folder is downloaded for free and fast from the Mega link in post #2.

For instance I use the UK EE HOME_CSC which works well with T-Mobile US. But this could be the same for any CSC. If you change your CSC, your phone will reset. To avoid reloading all your app data, you can first backup with Samsung's Smart Switch desktop app (http://www.samsung.com/us/smart-switch/assets/downloads/Smart_Switch_PC_4.1.16081_8.exe). This should backup most of your apps, accounts (setting,data/apks). Then follow post #1. Good luck

New brazilian Ota! changelist number is higher, at least they released it before SEPTEMBER lol

the update message, with changelist is the same, bluetooth, nfc, cloud, etc
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
? ? ?

What the hack is Samsung doing?

Lower build number than latest build BPHC from Australia, but a higher changelist...!

The same happened with the Note 4 this month:

Nordic got DPH5, while Germany got DPH2 with a much higher changelist AND new functions like Samsung Cloud!

So: is this Brazilian ROM a downgrade (lower buildnr), or an upgrade (higher changelist)?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ianmacd:
Build dates are literally just that: the date a particular build of the software was compiled.

Change lists, on the other hand, correspond to source code check-ins, so a higher change list number indicates a more recent snapshot of the source.

Whether a developer builds a snapshot of the code from 5 years ago or one from yesterday, both would get today's date as the build date.

Assuming Samsung's in-house source control management practices are no different than any other company's, the change list number is really the only relevant detail. It indicates what's in the build, regardless of when it was built.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
So: you'll update your phone from BPHC to BPH9 ?

If so: no problems (com.android phone has stopped)?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ianmacd:
Actually, I'm very conservative when it comes to Samsung firmware upgrades, because there's no way to know what's in any particular bundle of AP, BL, CP and CSC.

For that reason, and to avoid issues, the only ones I install on my S7E are the ones that are officially made available for the PHN product code.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cacofonix:
However, newer FW clearly brings enhancements (e.g. Samsung Cloud, Samsung Pay) and security updates that make updating to a different region's SW a faster path than waiting. Esp when some of the delays are mostly due to carrier testing.

I'm assuming most regions are pulling from the same code base - e.g. they should all benefit from Kernel updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Pautaniik:
why you use PHN?? Get better updates, or?? ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ianmacd:
Most firmware updates bring no user-visible changes. When they do, it's rare that there's anything I'm keen to start using, although the recent addition of a condensed display mode was one of those few occasions. A change in the Android version number is another such case, although Samsung is so slow at getting those out, particularly the major releases, that I would be using the wrong brand of phone if a rapid release schedule were a primary concern of mine.

Proprietary cloud and payment solutions aren't something that interest me, because much better solutions already exist. This is particularly true in the case of Samsung Pay, where a debit card with an NFC chip that relies neither on software nor on battery power is a vastly superior, almost foolproof solution. Samsung Pay and Android Pay are to contactless payment solutions what the fax is to e-mail.

Then there are the undesired accidental or coincidental user-visible changes that firmware updates sometimes bring, such as breaking (installation of) root, custom recoveries, etc.

That leaves just the security updates, which are certainly nice to have, but usually not urgent. Certainly, Samsung seems to display little urgency in releasing them.

That used to be the case, yes, but nowadays I see plenty of carrier-branded updates appearing before the equivalent unbranded firmware. T-Mobile and Vodafone in the Netherlands are good examples of this. Their firmware updates often appear before the equivalent PHN release.

---------- Post added at 09:50 ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 ----------

No, updates for PHN don't come particularly quickly. Sometimes, they're skipped altogether. It just happens to be my device's product code, so I stick with the updates that Samsung officially releases for it. That way, I know that I'm very unlikely to get into the kind of bind that we saw here recently, with a service randomly stopping and giving error messages, and a labour-intensive migration path back to fully compatible firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
Let me see if I understand, you only use PHN CSC or all 4files because is your phone product code or from your country.?

If the phone is unlocked i think every fw for the model it works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ianmacd:
Yes, I only install officially released firmware bundles for the PHN product code, so all 4 files.

And yes, in theory, all AP files should be compatible with all devices, but that has proven to not always be the case. A recent case in point was that Turkish firmware release that caused a particular service (wasn't it the ability to make calls?) to keep closing.

I don't want to get caught out when that kind of thing happens, so I stick to the official PHN updates. And even then, I don't want to be one of the first people to upgrade, because there can be unintended side-effects, such as with the recently updated bootloader that made it impossible to use CF Auto Root or TWRP.

Even aside from these concerns, I'm not eager to install firmware updates whose changes are not even known. There's very little incentive, and I'm a firm believer in the old adage, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.'
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
Well i could say other fw is better than my country and never had a single problem with no error.

I had around 10 fw downloaded.also PHN .

And i try it all, always 4 files never change CSC.

Since APGH XSA Australia i have been using XSA and i like it.

And mine is TPH.

Always clean flash..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ianmacd:
Even with a guarantee of no unwanted side-effects, it still wouldn't be worth the time and effort of downloading, flashing and rebooting for me.

What would I gain? A bunch of undocumented, probably imperceptible changes to a device that already worked well before the update. To my mind, that's no gain at all, yet it carries the very real risk of unwanted side-effects. That's a an extremely unattractive risk/reward ratio, as far as I'm concerned.

I get my quota of Android OCD kicks in other ways. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] NoFixedAddress:
Just upgraded to Australian XSA G935FXXU1BPHC without issue via latest Odin, using the AP, BL, CP and CSC files in the 2gb zip file, with 80%+ battery. Performed factory reset before upgrading and cleared cache. Afterward I manually setup the phone and manually reinstalled my apps, I only used Samsung Smart Switch to backup and restore contacts, sms, call logs, and media (photos etc). As long as i'm willing to put the effort in to doing this, is there anything I should/shouldn't be doing? Are the steps in the right order?

My big question however is this: I've only just noticed that according to many S7 upgrade websites the following is required for an Odin full-2gb-rom upgrade before proceeding: enable Developer Options and the USB Debugging field. I've done many upgrades on many devices via Odin and i've never enabled these two options before and never noticed any adverse issue. Can anyone advise more on why these options are apparently required? What happens if I don't/haven't enabled them?

Thanks for replies.

How many times do you look left/right before crossing a road? You strike me as a very cautious person.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ianmacd:
LOL. You make that sound like a bad thing.

Like any sane person, I weigh risk against the potential for reward. When the reward is negligible or non-existent, the risk isn't justified. It's that simple. Constraints on one's free time serve only to make one even more averse to risk, since recovery from a negative outcome can be time-consuming.

If I seem overly cautious to you, it's probably because I've had a long career in IT, witnessed a lot of mistakes, and currently have limited free time and lots of worthy causes vying for my attention.

G935FXXU1BPH9 ZTO is now downloadable from SamFirm, changelist 8987038 and build date 12. august.

I wonder if there's a difference at all between this and the G935FXXU1BPHB TTR with the same changelist 8987038 but the later build date of 16. august.

After downloading both I've found that the AP-file of BHPB is aprox 20 kB larger than BPH9.

I think I'll be flashing BHPB but haven't decided yet. Last time I used ZTO I ended up with com.phone fc when upgrading to a newer version from another region.
