Keep in mind:

if you flash with Odin, you must always flash 4 files (AP BL CP & HOME_CSC), NOT only the HOME_CSC!

And don't forget to set the PIN in Secure start-up (see msg #1 & #2)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] inteks:
just a question. what happen if we only flash AP ? or only AP,BL and CP ? if we dont flash CSC at all??
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] emilcioran99:
Probably you'll soft brick your phone. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] madkhaz:
i know about that.

now using BPH6 august update, seems battery life okay. Thinking of flashing back into APC8 BTU to see how battery life goes, while keeping my OLB CSC later on, that's why i'm asking if i can use latest OLB CSC and retain my data intact.

Seems i need to use my old OLB HOME_CSC to retain my data.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
Find that out for yourself... ;)

i.e.: if you won't flash the CSC, you'll find out that your phone has NO CSC anymore and some functions won't work anymore (i.e. *#-codes)

So: ALWAYS flash ALL 4 files!

[MENTION=1586120]henklbr[/MENTION] I have this weird problem; the summary is I have lost wifi passwords after a clean flash.

Until now I have dirty flashed may be six or seven roms with your home csc version ones and all worked ok. Thank you once again for this thread. But after having a battery drain after the last one I could not understand what was causing it so I've decided to make a clean flash and did it after backing my apps with integrated Samsung Cloud in the settings. I also used my google account to backup settings etc. The interesting thing is, Samsung Cloud did some of my applications not installed after clean flash along with my wifi passwords. I don't know which one to blame for this. I travel a lot so I had dozens of wifi passwords stored in my Google backup and/or Samsung Cloud. I don't know how those passwords are lost. Now I have to learn and enter those passwords again, it's frustrating.

Any ideas how to get them back if possible?

Hello, have a question... If i check ota for update its coming following.. Is that the last build? Security patch is 1.8.16.

I read that a newer build is available, but it's not showing me in OTA?

Send with S7 Edge SM-G935FD from Munich / Germany
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cholek3:
It is simply not available for your brand yet. You have to wait, or use odin to flash the newest firmware for your country.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Ookido:
If you remain with the same Country code (CSC), you can use the HOME_CSC (it doesn't do the factory reset). If you change from one country code to another (switching to different CSC), you have to use the regular CSC_ which does a factory reset. So, to sum it up, switching CSCs means your data will be wiped as you are forcing a factory reset.

The modem distributed with this firmware is still G935FXXU1BPHJ, so my guess it is only a very small update not worth updating to if you are already using G935FXXUBPIF.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] eRPeeX:
If you change to Bosnia CSC it will wipe your data. In other words it will do a factory reset.

If you don't like factory reset than use HOME_CSC from Switzerland. I presume it has CSC from Switzerland.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Ogy77:

Quick question. I am now on latest September update (PHN), but my original CSC is NEE (Nordic) but I don`t care since there is no difference at all. If I in the future would like to receive OTA updates again, I need to flash full NEE-package and that will automatically wipe and factory reset my phone. Correct?

Sorry need help. I got no idea, are the firmwares being posted on the first age universal?

2. What is csc and does it make difference?

3. Can i flash any FW from any country to my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
1. You could have known this, because this thread is about the SM-G935F which is an EXYNOS powered S7Edge

2. CSC = Country Specific Code -> it contains settings and/or software for the country/region specified

3. No: when you have a -F- model, you can only flash firmware what's for the -F- model

Thanks alot my friend, sorry im new samsung user and im affraid to brick my phone, should i just follow the procedure from the first post?

can you send me some up to date video of this procedure, or maybe make one in future? cause this part is confusing to me,.

he main file, is made for the Netherlands (CSC=PHN).

If you have another CSC, i.e. SEB (Baltic):

1. download the MAIN-file and extract AP BL & CP

2. download the latest firmware for your country, and extract the HOME_CSC of your country

3. Place the extracted files (including YOUR HOME_CSC in the designated slots of Odin)

Also the 3 points are confusing as well, how can i know what firmwares from what countrys work on my phone? does all F works? thanks so much and sorry really i know its frustrating to explain on noobs how and why :(

P.S. Last thing, does the different country FW have effect on 4g battery drain? are they optimized for different networks? thanks!

Is G935FXXS1BPII newer/better than G935FXXU1BPIF?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] biustech:
BPII

buid date: 13.09

changelist: 8888212

BPIF

bpii is newer than BPIF, BUT bpif has higher changelist meaning (most cases) is better than bpii

but stay way from bpif, so far worst fw in terms of battery life
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] fierce_brake:

2) this procedure has the power to affect 4g band frequencies, and i lose some 4g frequency of my country?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] gyoung:
Sorry not too sure about full backup without root. I only know how to backup with Nandroid which requires root.

Just follow the instructions and you should be okay. Worst thing that will happen is that you loss all your apps, photos, music etc. Just back up those important stuffs before proceeding. Transfer them back after you've flashed the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Kjc99:
These are stock roms anyway..... Only difference is you might be changing your csc.... If you don't use one of the home_csc from the Op... Or the program to change your own CSC.... Rather than mess with all that I just used the one file download (and Un-rar) and changed my csc... Nothing was wiped...

Also for the guy from South America... I went from a (TPA) Panama firmware to a European (PHN)... Only difference in baseband/radio I've noticed is that South American roms show LTE and European Firmware shows just a 4G symbol... Same signal or better.... Just different logos for LTE.... Look under your sim card status to see the actual signal strength

Ps screen shot taken in my basement that's why my signal isn't that great.... In the picture
