I flashed the proper csc. But is a multi csc file..and always selecting xeo(poland) so i tryied flashing a single csc firmware from Australia and after that tryied a recovery to original firmware with Smart switch..and it didnt work
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
Did you do it with odin?

I know XEF is multi CSC.

Mine is TPH is multi too,

Flash BTU , TUR. , PHN , XEF , TPH, ZTO,

Have XSA and AUT to flash.

And return always to TPH
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] grigoris_a:
Yes odin.You are in luck because TPH is the default csc of the multi csc your device belongs. That's why you always revert to default.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
But i never use TPH.

I always flash 4 files never change CSC.

I like to use XEF , and if i have TPH and flash XEF stays XEF. Now i have ZTO.

And do factory reset before and after.

I have one question on flashing PIT file. My phone is a G935F variant which is originally XSG and I flashed it to the latest BTU for the whole ROM.

I like to know if I can just flash the PIT file from G9350 (from http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30628) since I want the Hong Kong specific features to be enabled but there is no TGY for G935F since S820 is the only S7 Edge model available in HK.

Thank you very much!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam2hk:
I have the same question too. Been trying to enable some of.the HKG feature on my G935FD. e.g. VOLTE .. hope there is a solution for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
Do you know where you're talking about?

A PIT-file is only for the partitions on your device and has nothing to do with specific features on your device!

Don't mess with other device firmwares (G935O) to your G935F!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Brotuck:
Do not flash the PIT file, you are more likely to get the features if you flash the original CSC file, but there is a 100% chance that the phone will be wiped then. So do backup first.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] howan:
oh... I guess the right keyword is CSC but not PIT. Thanks for your advice!

I've got the G9350 (Olympic Games edition) Hong Kong variant so Google Apps installed.

However, upon checking Sammobile, im stuck at a firmware version which is one behind what is available.

Performing the manual software check on the phone produces nothing.

What do I do?

Im on Telstra (AUSTRALIA) and although VolTE shows it doesnt activate – can i just change the CSC?

Also, dont think that Android Pay works – the app let me add my Amex card however ive attempted to use a couple times with no dice (could be the terminal though)

Any help/advice ?

Soft bricked my S7 Edge, please help!

I think I bricked my S7 Edge please help.

I followed another site instruction which is similar, I downloaded the firmware from samsung-updates .com and was using Odin 3.11.1.

During the update at the SYSTEM it failed mid way and now I cannot boot into to OS. I have the bluescreen that said error.

I tried again and again but everytime it would failed midway again. I don't know what to do, please help.

I have a SM-G935W8 (Canada)

I can still go back in the download mode but can't update it. However, my phone is no longer show the Samsung logo during boot up, it just go directly to the blue error screen that asked me to use smart switch PC to do emergency fix. However the Smart Switch PC does not recognize the device when it is plugged in, even in download mode.

Right now I'm trying to download different type of firmware as there are few different version from carriers to try.

Yes I did. I have 2 similar devices that I bought, both are SM-G9935W8 and the other one I left everything stock so it work just fine and recognized by my PC.

On the device that I bricked, I rooted it and also installed custom TWRP recovery successfully. I tried to install back stock rom with ODIN and it failed mid way during the SYSTEM download causing this problem. Now it has no system file so there is no OS.

I just re-flashed it with the TWRP recovery and now I can boot into the recovery. I cannot shut off the phone. I tried so many times reinstalling stock ROM but it would just fail everytime at SYSTEM download.

Is probably because u have the custom recovery... so is failing in odin... u would need to restore back to stock recovery before proceedin with flashing stock firmware... hope i am right... but i think i am... ask this question in the trwp thread... whoever is on top with rooting etc would know it right away... we are virgins here now these days...

Thanks! From what you are saying, there is no way that I can retain my phone stock region (Malaysia, XME; it has multi CSC e.g. XSP, THL etc). right?

So the steps are:

1) Download the Netherland stock firmware with my desired altered CSC (let's say I choose HOME_CSC_XEU so my phone region will set to XEU) from post #2

2) make sure I have set my secure pin

3) Unrar and flash using Odin.

Pre-installed stub bloatware apps like Instagram, when opened, show a rounded pop-up that is very similar to Grace UX's. I don't know if this means we have Grace UX somewhere underneath but, well, at least we got something ?
