Thanks guys, I don't really understand the PIN thing. I am aware of the factory reset google account lock but never heard nor seen the PIN one which was why I was asking for clarification.

Well, turns out my Korean S7 Edge did not require PIN bladibla whatsoever and was 99% sure I didn't since none of the guides on Korean sites mentioned it. Thanks for the replies! Thank god I managed to access my internal storage again.

I think somewhere on this site, there needs to be a big beginner's guide mentioning small things such as requiring all files to be flashed not just AP on S7 Edge and also small but crucial factors such as the difference between CSC and HOME_CSC because I am sure people like me who is used to flashing previous phones may be prone to think we know all and just assume facts from previous experiences.

Quick question! Can i flash the stock software that came with the phone on release day (in march) and flash the newer radio from the recent update successfully?

i.e. Flash Full APB firmware/software, but then want to just update my Radio files to APG update in August?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] FrozenLord:
It's not recommended but possible nonetheless.

Feel free to just put the modem file in Odin - it can flash single partitions as well, you don't need to waste precious time and life of your flash chip by overwriting data with the very same data ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jark99:
Thanks! So if i flash just the CSC (assuming this is radio?) would i need to flash the new bootloader? or it does not matter?

I wanna install BPH6 but there are a lot of different product codes, what's the difference? Is there one unbranded?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] FrozenLord:
CSC are your carrier settings (branding, settings,...) and does NOT include the modem.

You get several files when extracting a firmware:

BL - bootloader

CP - modem

AP - Android and the apps

CSC / HOME-CSC - carrier settings (choose home for keeping them the same, the one without home will wipe your data)

You can simply put BL and CP into Odin and flash those without flashing AP or CSC.

You normally don't need to update your bootloader while updating the modem.

However, should you encounter any errors feel free to update the bootloader as well ;)

(it is recommended to update all four files to the same version due to their interdependencies)

hey guys I need help..

I followed the guide to install this rom. (my phone was already rooted).

After starting this file 'BL_G935FXXU1BPHJ_CL9113173_QB10764867_REV00_user_low_ship.tar' in odin.. odin said it was done but then my phone said firmware update failed and now it's stuck with the samsung logo when it boots.

I've tried to format the phone, to install TRWP. But nothing helps..

Anyway know what I should do...??

Have you read msg #1: no ROOT-talk in this thread...

You managed to ROOT your phone, and now "NOT-rooted" users may solve your problem?

TIP: ask the developer of your "modified"-ROM -> maybe they have a solution!

If I want to do something to my phone, I would search 1st how to "repair" it when something went wrong!

See msg #1 & #2 -> you have to flash ALL 4 files, NOT only 1!

NO Custom-ROM & ROOT talk in this thread!

2. NO support will be given in this thread to restore your firmware from ROOT to ORIGINAL STOCK ROM; there are a lot of discussions on this forum about rooted phones, so ask this question overthere!

Just wanted to swing by and give some thanks to the OP and other helpful people in this thread. I'm not new to messing around with android but OP provides a great, straight forward thread that has helped me a lot by reading as much as i can before i start flashing things and ending up soft/hard bricked. Following instructions shouldn't be as difficult as some people are making it out to be. Got everything up and running exactly how i wanted by FOLLOWING OP's INSTRUCTIONS and taking some time to catch up with the thread and now i am good to go!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ianmacd:
The fact that he's rooted is completely irrelevant to his question. He mentioned it only in passing.

You'd answer the same question if it were asked by a non-rooted user, so why not help this guy out, too, if you know the answer?

It's one thing to want to keep root discussions out of the thread, and quite another to be rude to people for just mentioning the word. Get over your obsession with this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
First of all: his question was already answered by PM... But:

1. This thread is not the place to discuss about "how-to-change CSC" (there are other threads about this subject!)

2. If I want to "modify" something on my phone (like i.e. ROOTING), I first search on the net for a "How to" to "UN-modify" my phone before starting to modify it!

It happens many times, people are "playing" with their phone, something goes wrong when "reverting back", and other people may come with a solution!

Or questions like "How to bring back Knox to "0"", or "Samsung Pay" doesn't work anymore...

Those questions are for other threads, NOT in this one; agree? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] eRPeeX:
He was not asking how to root. He asked how to get back to stock rom. He will return to the camp you defend vigorously.

You can give the correct answer or you don't. If you can't or won't give the correct answer, please don't answer at all.

You think that one should have looked in advance how to get back. But that's not everyone's method. You can't change the world.

But it's not because you're the OP you get the privilege to be rude or shouting @ others (capitals in your answers).

So for the second time in two months I ask you the same question.

Henk, will you be a little more friendly?

Tia,

eRPeeX
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
Is it? Have you read his message clearly?

He's not asking how to get his phone back to stock (he did that already several times), but he wants to change his CSC to THR (which is part of the Multi-CSC OJV)!

This can't be done; if your CSC is part of a Multi-CSC, and for what reason the CSC of your phone has been changed, it's very difficult to get the original CSC back on your phone.

I know, on older phones, that is was possible to change the CSC on your phone, but ONLY if your phone is rooted!

I answered him with the same information via PM, and not in the thread...

And changing CSC is not something to be discussed in this thread...

For people upgrading their S7Edge to the Note 7:

Be advised, that the European CSC's are also now in 1 Multi-CSC -> OXM
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] eRPeeX:
as I quoted

quote: via PM

... ok, you can mention this.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] snej81:
I have a question regarding CSC. I recently tried to flash my S7E with the latest PHN firmware but with different HOME-CSC (Nordic - NEE), following to the instructions in the guide.

In the end of the flashing in Odin it failed due to ``HIDDEN IMAGE´´. I needed to reboot phone into download-mode (it would not start - softbricked). I googled this issue with hidden image failure and it seemed to be a recognized problem, and also found some solutions. I tried one of this solutions and removed the ``hidden image´´ inside the .tar file and reflash (according to an guide I found), but this only caused Odin to crash immediately when pressing start.

After this, I tried to flash the complete PHN firmware without any changes - and it worked. Now my phone is working exactly as before on my original (Nordic) firmware, except that I am not rooted for the moment.

So my question is, what is the difference between the different CSC versions? I cant see any difference at all, at least so far (except for non-root). If I cant notice any problems, it seems unnecessary trying to flash the Nordic CSC..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
What was your previous (original) CSC before flashing HOME_CSC_NEE?

CSC = Country Specific Code

In the CSC-files there are i.e. Country/Region/Opearator specific "bloatware", enable/disable functions on your phone etc...

Probably the "hidden.img" in the "HOME_CSC_NEE" was TOO big for your phones partition.

The "hidden.img"-file of HOME_CSC_PHN is much smaller, because it doesn't have any "bloatware" in it -> that's why you got no problems with flashing it!

If you want the NEE-CSC, you should flash with CSC_NEE:

The PIT-file inside will enlarge your partition to store the files, but this will result in a FULL RESET of your phone... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] snej81:
Thanks for your reply!

Im acutally not 100% sure which CSC I had before.. My phone is bought cash in Sweden and it´s not attached to any carrier. Everything is exactly as it was before, so I don´t see any need to flash the NEE-CSC.. Before I flashed the PHN-CSC I thought that the CSC-packages were containing language differences (menus etc.). But everything is still in Swedish... :)

Hello, I have a question...

I have buy from great Britain s7 edge dual SIM model. I used the original Samsung stock rom. The device was come I have with ota install the latest official update. Than I have root the device with Odin. Used the Cf auto root. Now I have a rooted device. All works great.

Now the questions

1. If comes a new ota firmware update and I install it, must I root again?

2. If i must root again can i used the Cf file again or need a other or newer and will I lost my data or not?

3. When I will flash from Sam mobile a other original firmware with Odin, I will lost my data or settings?

4. Must I used the same country firmware from GB because csc is BTU?

When I used example the German firmware must i flash German csc too... DBT? I living in Germany...

Can i used Odin or flash fire only or need TWRP? At this moment I will not flash a costume rom. Original with root for me is great. I wait for a cyangemod or AOSP Based rom..

Here a pic with my firmware stats and csc.... Must i changed anything because I living in Germany...

All works great, wifi calling, ota update Samsung pay and all other...

ques 3: If you use the BTU-firmware from SamMobile, you can flash with HOME_CSC (data will stay intact)

ques 4: Choice is yours which firmware you'll flash, but BTU is indeed preferred. If you want the German DBT firmware, you must flash with CSC_DBT (NOT HOME_CSC_DBT) -> this will result in a reset of your device

Excellent thread. Really very helpful and informative.

I`ve G935FD and my CSC is INS with BH7 (latest with august security patch - according to sammobile and Samfirm).

Can I flash APC8 build (G935FXXU1APC8 firmware version for Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935F) from region XSG) and then flash the HOME_CSC (INS) to get my original CSC ? Is it safe to do the same ?
