Samsung isn’t exactly speedy when it comes to rolling out Android updates, and we sadly don’t expect that to change significantly with the Samsung Android 7.0 update. Samsung had confirmed Nougat for the Galaxy Note 7 “in 2-3 months” until the device suffered fires and was discontinued. With any luck that target will now apply to the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge instead.

For reference, there was a five-month timeframe between the Android 6.0 launch on September 29, 2015 and the first U.S. update to Marshmallow with the Verizon Galaxy Note 5 on March 3, 2016. Using that as a benchmark, Galaxy owners could easily be waiting until the end of January or early February 2017 for the first Samsung Android 7.0 update.

Point taken, but these are the international models we are talking about, not US bloated versions. Should be a little faster I would expect.

G935FXXS1BPJ1 (Germany - DBT)

This week, Germany (DBT) will see the "october security patch" on their phone:

Security Patch Level: 2016-10-01

Product code: DBT

PDA: G935FXXS1BPJ1

CSC: G935FDBT1BPH2

Changelist: 8888212

Note:

Fore users who currently are on PHJ (i.e. PHN), PIF (i.e. ZTO) or PIO (i.e. INS) ->

DO NOT UPDATE to this version!

PHJ, PIF & PIO have CL 9113173, and updating to PJ1 from DBT will result in "com.android.phone has stopped"!

I advise to wait with this update, till we've firmware with CL 9113173 & the october security patch!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] baedaa:
looks like the 8888212 was the last properly working fw. 9113173 had huge battery drain for me which is why I went back to bph6 dbt a while ago.

G935FXXS1BPJ1 DBT is already available by now :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
I've no problems at all with PIF (9113173)...

I've 1.5-2 day stby-time with average usage of my phone, about 3% battery usage overnight with WiFi (5 GHz), Bluetooth (Gear S2) continuously ON!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] baedaa:
idk man, android os and google play services went nuts on my phone, completely reflashed and reset several times, no success. I also had the BPIF installed.

There has to be a reason why all the recent releases didn't go with the newer changelist, maybe it's not the battery but other things. speculations :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cst79:
Official 7.0 Nougat for S7 has just arrived in Poland, as I read in another thread.

Now can someone post that firmware already ? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] misiokicio:
honestly?? boy only posted that his friend apparently received it... and u already want the firmware xd.. it's all probably just a fake anyway
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cst79:
I am just thinking that Samsung has to make up some way for the Note 7 fiasco, and they are trying to retain customers with faster updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] misiokicio:
but still... a bit too fast xd but let's wait and see what that boy post...

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] md07:
what difference between HOME CSC and CSC
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cholek3:
It is not official/final nougat update for customers. It was apparently a beta version which was/is tested by closed group of beta testers (maybe in Poland itself), where Samsung Europe HQ is. APPARENTLY.

Anybody know how G935FXXS1BPJ1 is battery wise?

Just came out for DBT....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cholek3:
Exactly, just came out. So how do you expect people will report battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] themaximillian:
Well, its been out for other regions for a couple of days so i thought maybe someone got som feedback, guess i was wrong....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] fierce_brake:
Try it and let us know ! [emoji1]

Actually I am kind of a flash-o -holic , I'll see if I can install it and report back ...

Just as an additional note: the BPiI from Argentina (aro ) seems to have great battery life ,at least in my particular case
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cholek3:
You said "just came out for DBT", but you should allow at least few days for rom to "settle in". Most of the time, battery isn't great after flashing. Peace.

Gonna flash it tonight, i´m on a different CSC right now,BPH3, so it wouldn´t do it OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ianmacd:
Out of interest, what does "settling in" involve from a technical standpoint?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mortenj69:
Nothing. It is one of those persistent myths that people cling to.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cholek3:
Updating system apps, caching, etc. Especially when you just flashed older firmware.

I am pretty sure a lot of people would not agree with you. It is definitely not a myth.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrous²:
It is not a myth as such. See, when you buy a new device/flash a new ROM, first thing you do is to install your apps and set your preferred settings and stuff. These apps may need login data, additional files, your location and other info for it to properly run and of course caching. This whole process can take some time. The thing is, the time it needs to "settle" is completely dependant on you. If you're like me and set up everything, login to every app, download all additional files, set up your internal and external storage and all that comes with a new device within the first day, your device "has settled". Only thing possibly left is to gather location data and history for apps like Google Now. Other people don't do that like you or me. They don't set up everything within the first day but rather slowly, maybe in a few days or even a week or two. That's when the term "letting your device/ROM settle for a few days" was coined. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
Well normal people could take a couple of to set the apps and settings. But people who flash a lot like me its 1h.3 max 2h is set.

But in terms of battery after flash or reset after the phone lerns the battery and say how many hours are left , its settled . Can say at least 2 charges its done.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ianmacd:
I am the one who posed the question and I do regard the notion of phone firmware performing substantially better after a period of "settling" as a myth. My reason for asking the question in a neutral fashion was to satisfy my curiosity about how someone who believed in "settling" would explain the phenomenon in technical terms.

Note also that the number of people who believe in a myth does not affect its fictive nature. Bullshıt is bullshıt, even if millions of people believe in it and perpetuate it.

---------- Post added at 00:23 ---------- Previous post was at 00:20 ----------

None of this has any bearing on the firmware, though. You are describing user data that is almost entirely unaffected by flashing new firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrous²:
[MENTION=7187684]ianmacd[/MENTION] Well, I should have been more specific. I highly, highly doubt there is any truth to a device performing better after a settling period (UX, CPU, GPU etc.). However, what I have been experiencing over and over again is after you bought a brand new device or clean flashed a new ROM, during the initial setup period which may include all of the things I mentioned above, naturally the battery doesn't last very long compared to the time after your device is completely set up. This is what I was referring to earlier in this thread. Still, correct me if I'm wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
Stay ON-TOPIC

Shall we go ON-TOPIC again?

There are lots of another threads about battery-life etc...

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] masterv1:
I would recommend to update to the new DBT firmware. Before I had the BPIF and the battery was terrible. 20% and more lost over night and only maximum dot of 3h.

Now with the new DBT it lost only 5% in 8h and the feeling is really smooth.

Made a clean install because of the phone stopped problem.

But it's no problem if you use Samsung cloud to restore everything.

Yes I know, my problem or question is...

Must I download from sammobile the xtu or BTU firmware? I will not lost my settings when I flash firmware with wrong csc..

I'm right... When I download and flash the German DBT csc and replace home xtu, than I have factory reset, flash German firmware only and can never used example niederlande firmware, right?

Or I will nothing changing csc and downloading only the BTU firmware continously..?

In last year's I never must changed csc or other, I used changermod cm roms or aosp roms.. That is my problem, I don't understand this complicated procedure with csc... Sorry for my stupid....

Last question, if I want flash a other costume rom example Phönix or superman rom, must this rom have BTU? For me is that horrible with the csc.. Because I don't understand this... Sorry

Hello,

I have a Samsung S7 edge DUOS, bought on Amazon UK but imported, the active CSC code is ECT, Nigeria should be. There are of course other available CSCs on the phone (as usual). Now I would like once and forever to put some European stock firmware, because like it is now it is stuck to August security patch (so it is still not arrived Sept and Oct!). How can I do it, without wiping data/factory reset? Moreover in this way can I preserve in future the OTA updates with the new CSC I will choose (I was thinking the Dutch CSC). Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jhunkab:
If you desire OTA updates then you will have to endure a reset of device and flash a full package using CSC - CSC and not HOME_CSC. No mix and match of components.

if you are OK without OTA and able to download updates as they are released in different packages (e.g. from here or from samfirm tool or updato) then you will be update to latest components, but won't have OTA capability for your new chosen CSC- in this instance you will use HOME_CSC and not CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mercuryzzz:
ok I can live without OTA, I prefer not factory resetting the device.

So I can simply download any stock firmware (from any country) and flash it into the device with Odin? I didn't get exactly the second part of your answer (from "if you are OK without" onward)

Normally, when I start to read a "new thread", I start with msg #1 / #2 instead of "shouting" where the links are! :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mercuryzzz:
Thank you very much. So I downloaded a stock firmware (from here, message 2 of this thread). What I don't understand is this thing you say about the home_CSC and CSC file.

In the .rar file (the firmware), I have 4 files: AP, BL, CP and home_CSC (PHN), that's all, I don't have any CSC file (where shall I find this?).

Considering that my home_CSC is ECT (home_CSC is the original CSC, isn't it?), will it be overwritten let's say by the home_CSC PHN? And from that moment onward I will receive the future firmware upgrades via OTA related to the new CSC, am I correct?

PS if I would to revert back to my original ECT, is it wise that I before try to find the ECT firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jdjta:
This is already been asked and answered many times in this thread but I'll try to explain once more:

HOME_CSC: This is the file you can use if you want to keep the CSC you have at this moment and your data. The one provided by henklbr is for PHN and comes from the last original software from Samsung for this region.

So if you have ECT at the moment, you'll have to download the last version for this region and ONLY use HOME_CSC from this package, accompanied by BL, AP and CP from package in post #2. Don't use HOME_CSC from this package because you'll have to reset you phone manually through recovery.

CSC: Wipes data and changes current CSC to the one you flash. Your phone will be completely reset if you do this! This is not included in packages from henklbr.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mercuryzzz:
Ok sorry, maybe if it was written in the first 2 posts, it would have been clearer. In any case now it is all clear, thank you.

What if I use Odin and select only BL, AP and CP files, leaving blank CSC slot? Would it be like to say to Odin to keep the current Home_CSC or simply Odin would not work?

If I decide to use the CSC for a certain firmware (for example, I know that it is not included in the package from henklbr, but maybe it is possible to find it, the PHN), you said that the device is completely reset. What about the future OTA updates? Would I receive the PHN firmware upgrade from that moment onward?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jdjta:
It's always recommended to flash all 4 files to prevent problems afterwards. You can download the latest firmware for your CSC and only extract the HOME_CSC from it. Not sure what happens if you don't flash a (HOME_)CSC.

Don't think you'll be able to receive OTA's if you change from your original CSC but I'm not completely certain.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
Only if flash 4 files and reset will get update, different CSC will not get updates.

Okay, I have a general question regarding firmwares, i hope someone knows.

Whats the difference G935FOXJ1BPH3 and G935FDBT1BPH2?

Same buildnumber and PDA but i guess there must be something that´s different because of name ( obviously ) and the fact that they have different release dates?

Anybody?
