I could not get the latest unbranded carrier firmware (as of 11/22/2019) to flash to my Verizon phone using the version of Odin in the initial post. Odin v3.12 (PrinceComsy) and the latest version of Odin resulted in failure as well. Use Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD if you are experiencing failure while attempting to flash firmware to your device. I had this same issue with my Samsung Note 8 as well and this version of Odin was the cure.

If you want the latest firmware download for your device without hassle, search this forum for the firmware download tool called "Frija", developed by users on this forum.

Android Pie Update

Can anyone please update me about Samsung galaxy S7 Edge android pie update. Is Samsung planning to provide an update for S7 in future or not. If not then I will switch my phone if yes then i will keep this phone for next 2 years more.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] markfothebeast:
I am unsure whether there will be an Android Pie update for that device. However, Android Pie in my opinion is a disappointment. If I were able to revert to Oreo on my device I would gladly do so.

Help, i dont have a way to activate pin in Secure Startup. My old s7 edge is currently lock with forgotten google account, i wanna restore and give it to my nephew. I just freshly wipe and erase all the data.

I forgot what current Android version is this, base on my knowledge flashing different ROM will remove that security. Its a galaxy s7 edge verizon

Hi all, I have been trying to revert to stock ROM on my UK S7 Edge SM-G935F using various Odin files and using a stock ROM from previous successful flashes but this phone just fails and I have to disconnect etc. Any ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cdneto:
Hi, I have a simple doubt....if i want to update just the CSC (for another region), not the PDA, can I just flash the file HOME_CSC in ODIN, or is necessary to add the others files (BL, AP, and CP) too?

I'm using DBT fw, but I'd like to update the CSC file to ZTO ;)

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have the same problem last Friday morning for more than 2 hours. After receiving the notice of 10 times input of wrong password, on the last one I entered my GOOGLE ID and it indeed work.

Just enter your GOOGLE ID and that's it.

I hope it will work with you..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] thedisturbedone:
I followed the method listed here but there was an error message asking for a reset in Dutch I believe. I gave in. But this piece of junk wiped internal storage! Annoyed the **** out of me.

Just to be clear. Nothing wrong with the OP, instructions or files. Piece of junk is my phone. Was just pissed!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cdneto:
Do u have the answer!? I didn't find it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Painman1963:
The OP was really clear. He warned 3 times in post 2 and then wrote 'Activate Pin in Secure Startup'. If you didn't understand the instructions you should have asked in the forum.

This method is a lot of things but it's not a piece of junk. Once you've realised that this whole episode was entirely your own making, I'm sure the OP will be only too happy to accept your apology ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dave7802:
This is not the latest version for UK is it?

According to Sammys firmware site. There is not a more recent update.

But the OTA keeps telling me I have an update
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kylothow:
Full service firmware is not available right now (the one you find on Sammobile) but the OTA already is, so yes, there's an upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dave7802:
That's for the clarifying

It's a shame there is no way to locate the OTA that's Downloaded and flash via twrp or flash fire.

So let me ask the question that has never been answered yet, I followed of instructions and flashed PD1 with German csc since this one is the most frequently updated one, however I didn't get the recent updates.

Can I just flash the UK csc only without pa or bl? "BTU I think"

Or I have to flash everything again but go with the different csc now? Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] alad:
hi, i've read through the thread and i believe this question is answered, but want to be 100% certain so i do not ruin my device.

i have flashed a number of times successfully to get latest version but each time lose data becuase i have not been aware of the info in this thread.

i am currently on OJV CSC (UAE) and would like to switch to XEU (UK&Ireland) and get current latest D3

i have downloaded D3 from above and the modified XEU Home_CSC along with switching on secure startup.

my question, is it safe to flash the XEU CSC over the OJV to avoid wipe or should i wipe and flash XEU to be safe?

if i switch from OJV directly to XEU, what is the risk - could the device easily be bricked this way or would a data wipe likely solve any problems that arise?

My phone is telling me that APD8 is the latest. Flashing that home_csc caused this? I've flashed the firmware entirely, ap to csc, then flashed home_csc to see if i could update via ota, but i can't.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] alad:
so, i went ahead as i couldnt find anything that suggested it would not work.

it flashed fine, and the system is working without a reset.

however, it still shows as a UAE device in settings, anyone know why this would be the case?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] alad:
found that product type was still set as XSG in phone info

decided to reset after no clear finding as this was indicating to me that something else could possibly be waiting to cause an issue further down the line.

reset cleared it, product type is now XEU and UAE info is gone from settings.

restoring now from smart switch - the usual pain of no app data being backed up :/

at least i am up to date now and know how to update with wipe going foward (or at least can get OTA updates now)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] merlinke:
i'm at the same situation as you (well with different csc, but i also want to get xeu). i guess to change csc you need to factory reset. is there a reason to do it ? i flashed xeu and latest rom, modified the csc , so no wipe. is there a reason to factory reset ? tehre can be issues later because of the csc mix up ? (product type xeh, rest xeu) ?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] alad:
No specific problem that i an aware of.

However past experience tells me that if there little things like this can lead to bigger issues. I'm not so much worried about the product code as the strange UAE settings which arr making me wonder if there was something else wit that particular csc.

However it's mainly prevention, in that i have a backup from a few hours ago, if something goes wrong in 3 months will i still have a backup i can trust etc

Just updated to 1APD3 using the BTU csc_home files provided in Post #2 from a OJV original csc.

After reboot, the Samsung apps can no longer write to the SD card (specifically tested with MyFiles & Camera). However, ES File Explorer can write to the SD card.

Both Samsung apps can write to Device storage.

Have tried the following already:

1. Format SD card in Phone

2. Format SD card on Computer

3. Reset Settings for Camera

4. Multiple restarts.

I am pretty sure that the system apps have lost permissions to write to the SD card after the upgrade, but I don't know how to reset those permissions. Any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] nathan.rich:
OK so I'm at page 47 after 90 mins. I'm not stupid (at least I thought I wasn't) but it's not clear so far.

Some really simple questions and answers will hopefully clear this up for Me. My aim is to change my S7 edge from EVR to BTU. (The way I see it, now BTU has Wi-Fi calling I may as well move to BTU for more frequent updates)

I could have got the S7 edge quite a bit cheaper on BTU but I purposely got the phone through EE channels as I needed the Wi-Fi calling feature as EE call signal at my house is poor but really good 4G everywhere else, which EE said was only available on handsets bought through EE. Of course now BTU handsets support Wi-Fi calling since the recent firmware update. So I'm not happy, stuck with an expensive EE (EVR) handset with slow updates. Not very pleased with that.

Points of clarification:

Q1. Can I achieve my aim of moving from (EVR to BTU) simply by just using Odin to flash the BTU firmware posted in Post #2 (As shown below in bold) and ignoring the actions described in Post #1?

For United Kingdom Un-branded BTU, replace HOME_CSC with:

HOME_CSC_BTU

Q2. Therefore, permanently being on BTU from this point forward and getting all future OTA updates?

I think I'll wait for the answers to these first before I confuse myself further. You know so much on XDA, I wish I was up to speed. It's the steps in Post #1 which are not clear, I should point out that I know what Odin is but I've never used it to flash before.

Thanks for any help guys, it will be much appreciated.

same problem here. Might be a corrupted update file on server. I will try again tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] lost_:
Did you the full switch first? (e.g, all BL, AP, CP and CSC). After the full switch from of OJV to BTU (which means a reset), for subsequent updates via Odin, you can then do the HOME_CSC in order not to lose data.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
Then you could wait a very long time, because they won't be released in 1 file anymore!

What's wong with 4 files?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jkchan83:
Can you please elaborate? I saw in older posts that people were switching CSC without having to reset and lose data by using the custom HOME_CSC file from post #2. That's what I was hoping to do.

Besides the steps in post #2, what else do I need to do for the "full switch?" Thanks.

Update: Went ahead and did a factory reset. That solved the SD card problem. Perhaps I am unclear, but I thought changing the CSC by using the HOME_CSC file would mitigate the need to factory reset. Unfortunately, that did not work out for me.
