[MENTION=5524053]un-droid[/MENTION], you're not alone. Didn't like Nougat so went back to MM but was stuck with THL and none of the dialer codes were working with regards to changing the CSC. Getting some error.

UPDATE: Now both of my SIM card slots are now locked to Smart. Tsk. Shouldn't have updated, haha. Oh well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] faspitch:
same here clean flashed the BTU firmware and the secret codes doesnt work anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] un-droid:
It's good to know I have companies here who has the same experience. Well, i was told by someone that unlocking costs round 500. If you are near SM Masinag or Sta.Lucia East, maybe you have a visit there if you're interested in letting your phone be unlocked. I'm just not sure if their unlocking technique is legit. What's good is you can still ask for a bargain lower than the 500 pesos service charge.

Hi Kabayans!

Upgrade to this beast came from s6e+ (rooted using n7 port) now Im not used this old ui 6.0 because I used grace ux for almost a half year. and I bought this 2nd phone with warranty so Im not planning to root it for now. Question is can I flash 7.0 official firmware on sammobile? my phone is Factory Unlock and does it trip our knox for warranty purpose? thanks! (sorry for my bad english)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] SUNNY-Blue:
[MENTION=715805]imf[/MENTION]uzzyy, no. It doesn't trip Knox. Though I'd recommend not to flash yet as it caused problems (well, for me and a few others as well) wherein it messed the CSC up and some other minute details so it'd best to wait it out.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mr_makulit:
[MENTION=4575428]SUNNY-Blue[/MENTION], did you also flash the CSC included in the russian nougat rom? I did not flash that. The CSC that I used came on the official MM from smart firmware

---------- Post added at 07:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 AM ----------

As long as you are flashing an official rom it will not trip the knox.

---------- Post added at 07:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 AM ----------

I think there is an app here that allows unlocking without root. I also read in a local forum that there are number of person who have unlocked their devices using that app. I'll find the link and share. It might help unlocking the device with a minimum cost

Update:

Ah scratch that.. The app needs root
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] SUNNY-Blue:
[MENTION=3590885]mr_makulit[/MENTION], did that full flash initially. Didn't like it. Reverted to Smart MM. That's when it became Thai. Went back to Russian Nougat with the Smart MM CSC. No go. Oh well. Will have this unlocked and install the XTC 7.0 once made available.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mr_makulit:
Ouch!! Sorry, I think I did not make my post clear to not flash the included CSC in the russian nougat but use the MM Smart CSC rather..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] imfuzzyyy:
I see thanks! hope to roll out soon here on our country, BTW any news?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] faspitch:
[MENTION=4575428]SUNNY-Blue[/MENTION] haha well the risk is worth it though for me because I dont use the second SIM. The secret dialler is fine with me even I cant access it. Can we revert it back to normal when we flash the official firmware for our country?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] SUNNY-Blue:
[MENTION=7560358]faspitch[/MENTION], that is the question.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] un-droid:
Bro, please share it. I want to try. My device is rooted. ??
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mr_makulit:
Looks like you need to downgrade first your modem before you can use the app. Refer to this thread.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/themes/resurrection-regionlock-galaxy-region-t3462928

I did not personally tried it because I am not ready yet for rooting due to warranty but from the comments on that thread and some local forums, there are preople who unlocked their device using the app
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] therealMarcGeneson:
The only bugs I encouter so far are

1. When playing a video in gallery, sometimes it doesn't work saying error stuffs. Workaround is restarting the phone.

2. Samsung keyboard have delays when closing them like u need to tap the back buttons 2-3 times.

3. While playing a video then someone calls me it doesn't ring.

Just minor bugs. Can live with it.

Except from those I'm having a great battery life. Medium to heavy use while on wifi gives me 5-6 hours sot.

Ps: Still on stock rom. Haven't modified yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] therealMarcGeneson:
Coming from MM straight flashed BTU firmware but not using the home_csc, got full wipe. Great update for my opinion.

Does anyone of you experiencing LTE issue on S7 edge? I am having this weird issue for a while now. When I leave a 4g area and got connected in 3g/hspametwork, it get stuck with hspa even if I return to the 4g area. I need to restart the phone or turn flight mode on and off to get connected to 4g.. I tested both my smart and globe sims and get the same result so I would think this is not a network issue..

Update:

I did a factory reset everything works fine now
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] galangdj:
Do you have Globe's CSC? Also I am not sure whether you're using the PH modem. Do you have one for Nougat? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mr_makulit:
Unfortunately no nougat rom for PH yet at the moment.. I am using everything from the russian nougat rom (AP, BL, CP) EXCEPT for CSC. I used the PH CSC from the latest marshnallow. I beleive smart and globe has the same csc package since they are from the same region
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] galangdj:
Thanks. Guess I'll have to stick for this custom ROM stuff for the moment. :D

hey bro just a quick question, did you just flashed the ap of full firmware from sammobile? you didnt flash those csc? Im using also a factory unlock s7 edge planning to flash indian firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] imfuzzyyy:
ok now I get it, if I use the csc of my current firmware marshmallow then the rest is nougat it doesnt wipe my phone right? and can I use UK firmware g935F on my G935FD? I'm one step away in flashing this nougat just need some other advice

Hi everyone! For those who already have Nougat on their samsung s7, did any of you experience fast battery drain? my s7 edge now drains battery faster even if i use it normally
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] matthew2man:
in my case battery got better as on MM
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] imfuzzyyy:
what other things to consider in flashing firmware? do I need to on the oem unlock on dev option? also do I need to remove pin of my phone? any suggestion
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] matthew2man:
just remove your google account, is recommended to make a hard reset before upgrade android version, so save your data
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] therealMarcGeneson:
I flashed everything except from the home_csc file. I think I also flashed the ap. I'm not sure about the indian firmware cause I only flashed the uk firmware.

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

Nope. Not experiencing even a single faster drain. It last whole day to me.

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 PM ----------

Removing google account does nothing. Just save your files as backup. Sync your contacts so on, so forth.

---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

Yes, you need to remove the pin or else you'll get your messed up. No need for oem unlock. Just turn on the usb debugging and you're good to flash
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] InsydeXvi:
Nope, i manually flashed the BTU UK firmware downloaded from sammobile. So far no battery drain issue

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------

Sorry for the noob question, i have unlocked version of s7 edge and flashed the UK firmware including csc. Is there any difference if i use the UK csc in philippines?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] therealMarcGeneson:
I think there's little to none. I've been using BTU firmware since it's release and I can say that I get the same reception like ph csc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jamesearl_chua:
So is it safe to flash the Nougat BTU (UK) firmware even if I have G935FD from Globe?

May I ask for a complete instruction on how to do it correctly? What happens if I change the csc to BTU or if I retain the csc to GLB?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] faspitch:
just flash all the files you extracted. .you can choose the home_csc to retain your files or the csc to wipe it out. .i recommend the full wipe. .im 3 weeks using the btu rom and loving it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] faspitch:
Just got an update using BTU rom. Now the secret codes in the dialler is working. . didnt test the open line on the the second sim cause i dont have a spare one.

Ok finally I update my os into nougat although it is not a wow factor on me since I'm used to this grace ux (came from s6e+ n7 port) but I was amazed on some tweaks like aod,status bar and some other stuff it's worth it to update on android 7.0. I used uk firmware and my knox is still 0x0.

I use the csc (or home_csc) from the UK Nougat Firmware? my sim2 wont be network locked?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] therealMarcGeneson:
You need to open line it first bc u might mess up when u apply another openline firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] un-droid:
There's always a difference, featurewise. And it is necessary(but not required) that you flash the appropriate CSC to your phone according to your region to take advantage of the services your ISP is offering. One thing I observed is that BTU doesn't reach the much higher frequency which is LTE-A. But when I flash the original CSC,my phone's signal has peaked to LTE-A when using data connection.

---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------

N is more efficient when it comes to battery consumption. Try to lower down your dpi to FHD. See if it helps. Or maybe perform a reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jamesearl_chua:
I just flashed BTU Firmware and so far it is okay. I also unlocked the phone first using SRS :D:fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] therealMarcGeneson:
Well for me it doesn't matter cause I'm not using LTE at all. I'm only relying to wifi.

Still debating flashing cause it might take forever to download the Firmware package via unofficial sites such as sammobile or updato (if they even have the Globe firmware when it comes out)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] camille2231:
Hi, i somewhat fixed my problem with the battery. I forgot to hard reset my phone before flashing the BTU provided here somewhere and I think that caused the issue? I'm not sure, I just hard reset my phone yesterday and just proceeded to setup up my phone.

Everything is fine and dandy now :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] InsydeXvi:
question only,does csc affects the range of frequency because when i flashed nougat to my s7e i often disconnect unlike in marshmallow.

Anyone know of a good SIM unlock service here in the NCR? Planning to unlock this sucker and then flash the 7.0 for XTC once it becomes available.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] un-droid:
I think, that issue is more related to modem. Flash CP from your original firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jaredcadz:
I noticed a slight battery drain on Nougat. It's been a week since I flashed the Indian firmware. First 48 hours was good (noticed that standby time has greatly improved) but the rest of the week has been a haywire. I'll observe for another week before I flash back to MM.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] un-droid:
For those who likes to carrier unlock their phones, unlocking is worth 700 pesos in Farmers Plaza, Cubao. Just downgrade first your firmware to the oldest. Then bring it to them. When unlocked, please dont forget to get the unlock code since there could be an instance that if you upgrade to a higher version, your phone will be relocked.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mr_makulit:
I am from Russian Nougat ROM so I feel everything is the same. One thing I noticed though is the samsung's keyboard issue I am having with that ROM is now fixed (not actually sure if that was a bug or just related to CSC). Also, the color scheme for the Sim Manager shortcut in the notification panel is now white when you are using a dark theme, compared on the Russian Rom in which you cannot see the shortcut itself when you are using a dark theme since the text are also dark scheme.

I flashed the ROM yesterday and I can say that the battery is good. From a single charge from yesterday, I am now on 17 hours+ and there is still 34% of juice left. My screen time on is 5 hours, that is a straight youtube streaming (wifi and LTE) and several minutes of games.

hey bro got the same problem as urs, I cant go back anymore to xtc thing is its probably ok nothing as affected, bad thing is we cannot receive OTA since firmware is conflict to our csc, the only way to update os for monthly security patch is manually updating it into ODIN.

some people say we can change the csc with root access but it will break our knox and warranty will be void, I bring my phone with grey lines in samsung without the ntc because my csc is THL but they didnt look into it. now my s7 edge looks brand new now. screen replaced, side chrome replaced which has lots of scratch and fade chrome and I'm so happy with it
