THL G935FD with DBT PD1 but THL-csc and no data lost

Just flash latest PD1 firmware from DBT on my THL G935FD but only BL AP and CP.

For CSC I use HOME_CSC from the only G935FD specific firmware I can find, XSP firmware, which is multi-csc contained THL-csc. So my phone CSC is still THL.

HOME_CSC is modified by the #1 post method and flash with no issue.

Result is the phone with PD1 DBT firmware but THL-CSC with no data lost and no other issue(at least for now)

OTA is likely broken because it is still checking for THL update.

And of course NO knox tripped

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] biustech:
Thanks for the reply it's working now

yeah it did, took longer then 10 min but worked. I did it using the files from #2 post and for those who are rooted and/or twrp, it worked with me, but unfortunately i forgot to enable pin security and had to reset the phone, can't say it will work if you want to keep your data.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Kjc99:
Post #2 In the Op by [MENTION=1586120]henklbr[/MENTION] has a download for the German firmware but he made it the CSC of PHN Netherlands..... If you don't wanna mess with trying to keep you original csc then you can just flash his.... If something goes wrong you could always flash your CSC firmware again.... Also this won't wipe the phone if you activate the decryption pin... Under lock screen security it will highlight after making your lockscreen secured with a pin....should be under "unknown sources"

If your worried about apps from your carrier you may want to keep your CSC and make your own Home_csc with the program provided in 1st post... Because PHN has no bloat ware... Only issue I've noticed with PHN is ouick access has a couple bookmarks written in a different language (dutch) but I deleted and added my own bookmarks

Un-rar will give you 4 tar files to place in can Odin... But the Home_csc is for PHN you can substitute your own Home_csc if you want to keep csc unchanged

Sorry about your phone, but NO talk about ROOT here and how to get back your IMEI etc...

This thread is about STOCK firmware only, and NO ROOT talk!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] NonXtreme:
You can see your current csc for other available csc from app like phone info.

And if a firmware have one of the csc in your current multi-csc, it is likely that the firmware also contain your current active csc. Also from some thread in xda, I saw someone posted that they got THL-csc from XSP firmware. Don't worry though the multi-csc firmware will select the csc based on what csc you have previously.

Here is where I got XSP firmware.

I have the Thai non-D version. Any ideas where I can find a firmware that will allow me to use your method. I've looked around but can't find one for any of the multi CSC's in the list in Phone INFO.

Or do you think using the XSP HOME_CSC might still work?

Failing that I might change the CSC but don't really want to wipe as I've done a fair amount of modding.

EDIT -- Found the XXV FW on samfirm. Will try to update using your guide, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] NonXtreme:
Yep here https://mega.nz/#!Ih0xRAiJ!kKjF2ekPuTnP8BoTuuiQxR4zfc5FkF2vvpNrFWZ1nzU

I think XSP HOME_CSC should work. Actually my phone can boot without flashing CSC(try it myself), so I don't think something serious will happen if you flash wrong CSC. Don't take my word for it though.

Also never heard of non-dual sim version in Thailand.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Bigleg75:
I think Phone INFO is reporting the wrong model. If I go to device info within the os it is named as SM-G935FD. So you are correct, it is the dual sim version

Hey quick question after flashing the download from post one and using the PHN csc.. It says current csc PHN original is (TPA) which was right but I did a factory reset yesterday to clean up my phone and now phone info reports original to be XEU..... Is this a phone info app bug or did my original csc really change from the factory reset?

Does it really matter if the original CSC is gone forever... I know on my previous Galaxy phones it made no difference but with Samsungs encryption and all that should I worry about flashing the next stock rom and changing csc again.... Or no big deal as long as flash only 935f firmware

Oh ya and originally it said available CSC and had a list of about 8 different csc codes.... Multi csc firmware was the original?

I kinda dont understand much about all this firmwares. How do i know which one is the latest? Im looking for one that has no bloatware and updates regularly. Im currently on BTU
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CrEaTiiOn_187:
Yours is the latest i believe and if you're looking for one wothout bloatware you need to gp with a custom ROM as the firmwares posted here are Stock ROMs. And you could look on sammobile.com go to firmware and put your model number in (probably SM-G935F) and you'll find the latest firmwares.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Jose0726:
Thanks for the reply. Actually Im trying to keep stock for a while since phone is under warranty and Ive been a flashaholic with all my previous devices. I meant carrier bloat. Btu is pretty bloatless but wasnt sure if it was latest. My original cac is PCT but it has way to much carrier bloat and they take forever to update. What I dont understand is all this PJB, PJE etc ????
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CrEaTiiOn_187:
I'm waiting with flashing too at least till i have my phone for a year. I flashed some custom ROMs on my previous phone (LG G3). PJB en PJE are either firmwares or Region codes if that's what you mean.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Jose0726:
Yeah me too. I know if i flash once ill end up flashing everyday lol l. btw I mean firmwares. So mines is latest but sammobile has this in the top list of firmwares. Btw my stock PCT had samsung pay. The firmware i flash now doesnt and has the news app "upday". Does this mean the firmware is newer than mines or its the same just diferent letters ????. This is confusing jajaj
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CrEaTiiOn_187:
It's not newer. Yours also has a higher changelist number i believe and the ones you see there aren't always the "newest" they may be new for that region but not for others.

Hi, I followed the instructions in the first post to flash the unbranded Australian (XSA) version of the official firmware on my new S7 Edge. Everything went fine but I've been told I will never get an update unless I do a factory restore on the phone. I've been using the phone for a couple of weeks since installing the XSA firmware so I've got data on it now. Do I really need to do a factory reset to receive future Samsung firmware updates?

Downgrade to APC

Hi Guys

Im currently looking for a downgrade path to APC firmware.

i have BPH6 [Israel ROM] and my battery drain is horrible, from about 12 hours i have only about 2 hours of deep sleep.

i would like to restore back to APC, the problem is my country doesnt have APC, and APB we had contain many bugs so my questions.

1. can i downgrade and keep my HOME-CSC so i wont need to wipe ?

2. if not, what is the best CSC or region rom ? ATM i have a Samsung yellow pages and prefer also a CSC that have yellowpages and without bloted apps.

i flashed using odin the AP and csc for the APC8[DBT] but now my phone stuck on Samsung logo, i tried flashing the APC8 again without the csc, but it still on boot logo.

Can you please help.

Thanks you very much.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mimahitna:
Hi man,

you must flash firmware with minimum same changelist for BPH6( 8888212 ) if you wont full reset. If you need APC8-DBT than you must flash AP, BL, CSC ( not home_CSC ), CP...all from APC8-DBT package and your phone will be factory reseted.

Greetings from Serbia.

Hey xda I have a question. Would flashing a different firmware other than your own slow down your lte speeds? When I originally rooted I soft bricked so I downloaded and flashed a firmware thru odin to get me back up and running. The thing is I don't remember what firmware I had before so I kind of just downloaded a random one and now I can't see the option to choose lte/CDMA only 4g/3g and my 4g is extremely slow. Any help would be appreciated. I'm in the unitied states with a 935f my firmware ends in BPHJ and my build number ends in APB6. Not sure what that means since their different but hopefully someone here can help.
