When you flash with:

CSC -> This file contains a PIT-file, and after flashing your device will be resetted

HOME_CSC -> the data on your device stays intact (so won't be wiped!)

NOTE: the HOME_CSC must be edited (delete the folder inside it) if you flash with Odin 3.10.7 (Odin will FREEZE if you don't do this -> msg #1)

If you flash with Odin 3.11.1 (file in msg #1 & #2), you won't have to edit HOME_CSC anymore!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Rydah:
Thank you. So flashing home_csc in Odin 3.11.1 won't wipe my data, will change my CSC, and I'll still be able to switch to any other CSC later if needed?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] NonXtreme:
Changing CSC require you to flash CSC files and reset your phone. Home_CSC is for upgrading firmware with the same CSC files. I have tried flashing other region home_csc once and odin failed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
When the partition on your phone is "big enough" (for the HIDDEN.IMG & CACHE.IMG which are in side of the HOME_CSC-file) YES!

When Odin fails at the end of the flash, than your partition probably isn't big enough for those 2 files, then you'll have to flash with the CSC, so your device will be re-partitioned (PIT-file) for the "bigger" HIDDEN & CACHE image files!

Your device will be resetted though!

When flashing with HOME_CSC: read the warning in msg #2 (set PIN in secure start-up)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
This is not entirely true:

I've PHN, and I can flash HOME_CSC_BTU without problems...

But i.e. I flash with HOME_CSC_DBT, Odin fails because my partition on my device isn't big enough to store the HIDDEN.IMG & CACHE.IMG on my device!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Rydah:
Okay, so I'll be fine flashing BTU Home_CSC as long as my current partition size is big enough otherwise it'll fail and I'll need to flash the regular BTU CSC which will result in data wipe?

Sorry so many questions, this is my first Sammy and don't want to mess us my device. I'm in the US so no warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
That's correct...

DON'T FORGET TO SET PIN IN SECURE STARTUP (see msg #2)

Doesn't matter about your questions; I understand that: the phone is too expensive to "mess" with it! ;)

Thanks.

What is the second number on the link page to download? The CSC number? The XXV one shows both numbers the same, but the THL one shows the second number different.

Question still remains though. INS firmware is nowhere to be found. Old firmware could be downloaded and flashed, so you can update over OTA.

There is one for G935FD. But I would not risk flashing it to G935F.

Looks like multitasking became much worse with PE9.

Try to open aldiko book reader and/or asphalt8 then press home button (do not close the apps). Leave your phone for about an hour and try to switch back to background apps, mine is 100% app-refresh (exynos variant). Nothing is kept in memory... With APD1 aldiko was reload but asphalt 8 was kept for like 2 hours and then refresh if left longer.

Samsung Pay issues

Guys,

I am based in Singapore and I have installed the Panama APE9 firmware on my device. Samsung pay is launching very soon in Singapore and I have registered for its Beta here. But since this update I am unable to start samsung pay. I understand that the CSC should be for Singapore and then only it will work. Is there a way I can change the CSC of my phone without resetting it?

I am really sorry I am new to the CSC editing business so your advise will be really appreciated.
