It will come eventually but for now I've flashed the latest XEF as it has BTU in the multi csc.

There is nothing more annoying than quoting long full post and writing 2 words.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisjwild:
It should do as my csc didn't change from BTU. But I guess it depends on if the BTU is a higher version when it does come out for BTU direct.

And so you know I downloaded the binary version with SamFirm ( http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647 ) and flashed the individual files as shown. I used the HOME_CSC_OXA file in the CSC so it didn't wipe my phone. I also have my password active in secure startup. Just in case.

And I also used the latest Odin 3.11.1 from this thread.

You seem like a level headed guy. Most people who are vocal about flashing firmwares are quite elitist so if it's not too much trouble, I haven't flashed anything since Xmas on my s5 so if you made me an idiots guide I'll try it out.

Hey guys, im going to flash the new PF2 fw, but i want to know if ODIN will wipe my sd card in the process or should i eject it before i start ?, and i want to flash the fw entirly which means my phone will be wiped, does that mean i dont have to make the lock adjustment in post #2 ?

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

I suggest you do the lock adjustment any way just to be safe. It doesn't matter if you sdcard is in or not for flashing. It won't get wiped but if you feel safer just remove it.

re: PF2 firmware

Odin flashing firmware will not wipe your sd card so no need to worry about that.

Don't forget to do a full wipe in twrp before you odin flash firmware so it will be a

clean flash.

Where did you get the PF2 firmware?

I sure would appreciate a link if you have one.

Good luck,

Have a great day!

re: PF2 S7 Edge firmware

I could not find the mega link. :(

Perhaps you can find it and post it here, I spent about 30 minutes looking for it.

What I did find in post #1282 was the Samfirm windows downloader so I tried that

but it stops downloading every couple minutes or so and when it is downloading its

super slow like less than 1MB.

(slower than sammobile which does not have the PF2 new firmware yet)

The newest update for my norwegian S7 Edge (productcode TEN) is G935FXXU1APD1. If I flash the newest firmware in post #2 in this thread combined with the CSC from my original firmware, will I avoid the phone doing a hard reset + I might be able to still have functioning VOLTE?

I got XEF, although I usually have DBT. Guess it automatically uses the last CSC used on your device. Maybe flash XEF single csc first, and that multi csc file after.

Now i have the problem that i can not past to my sd-card and also not to my usb port with a card reader on it.

I choose to store it on the sd-card but when i take a photo it say that it's can not save to the sd-card.

The sd-card is ok.

When i use a other sd-card it have the same problem.

Sorry for my bad english
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] zyborg:
I'm sorry, but I don't think that is true. I've recently flashed the latest firmware bundle (PF2) using my local CSC file taken from the latest NEE firmware bundle (HOME_CSC_NEE_G935FNEE1APD3_CL7922419_QB9393014_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5) and that didn't "format my phone" - all existing data on the phone is kept intact, and instead all the relevant built-in Google/Samsung apps are updated with the most recent security patches...

But I have a similar question:

The latest XEF firmware bundle contains 2 CSC files:

HOME_CSC_OXA_G935FOXA1APEQ_CL8206888_QB9747462_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5, and

CSC_OXA_G935FOXA1APEQ_CL8206888_QB9747462_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5

I read somewhere in this thread that these should be multi-region CSCs, but what's the difference(s) between the two CSC files?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] juky77:
Regarding CSC file thing I think nobody came up with correct answer/solution yet. Let's assume we all know what CSC is...CSC is the Country/Carrier Specific Code. It contains the files for customisation for specific networks, so will have the APN settings, maybe custom ringtones or backgrounds, and can have programs too. So let's say I wanna flash latest firmware available but wanna leave latest CSC provided with latest update in my region or country. I will flash AP, BL, CP (last two are also optional) nothing will happen...everything will work fine. Let's make a conclusion. You can mix firmware with your country specific CSC code/file without any fears something will happen. Worst thing it can happen is to enter APN setting manually. It's your choice to flash it or not.
