I'm still on Marshmallow (because I haven't received the update yet) and everything on my device works. :D

I was anxiously waiting for the update but after seeing the feedback I'm not anxious anymore. It'll come when it'll come.

Hi guys, I have a small problem, I had CSC XEU MM firmware and I've installed BTU Firmware but the issue is that the CSC is OXA and not BTU, I can't seem to get any OTA. It says I have the latest updates. I don't want to install with odin every single time, is there any way to change to BTU and receive OTA, preferably without reset?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dezborders:
BTU 7.0 image contains multiple CSC (my Edge is XEU which is one of the CSC included)

It appears that CSC is only changed if your handset is NOT in the multiple CSC included in the image

Just enjoy your Sammy handset on Nougat 7.0 with its original CSC

You should still get OTA updates as and when Samsung release XEU ones or you can flash future BTU image via Odin and use the HOME_CSC file to retain your data partition (no wipe)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sidi0us:
dezborders, your post made me double check the active CSC and I was wrong, it's still XEU so I have to install a CSC that is not included in OXA and then return to BTU. Damn, I think I'll stick with odin for a while.... Thx.

Μanually flashed today the latest BTU update (DQB3 and DQB1). I downloaded it via samfirm and flashed it via odin. A lot of bug fixes and improvements must have taken place since the changelog is the higher available (10422490)﻿.

My original region is XEO, and since BTU firmware is Multi_csc and includes the XEO_csc in the list (and I flashed the home_csc), I remained to XEO.

CSC Confusion

CSC seems to cause a lot of confusion here. I have tried google to undrstand it better myself but have hit a wall. It can be helpful if the guru's here can give us the ABC of this very misunderstand issue or a link to it. Thank you in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Pichulec:
Very easy. Just download firmware by samfirm and flash it by odin. There is many tutorials available.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] madvinegar:
What I can help you with is the following:

The BTU firmware is a multi_csc file.

The CSCs included in this firmware are: BTU, CPW, DBT, ITV, KOR, NEE, XEF, XEO, XEU.

This means that if your region csc is one of the above, and you flash the BTU firmware, you will keep your region's csc.

For example: My region csc when I bought my phone is XEO. As you will see above, XEO is one of the CSCs included in the multi_csc file of BTU.

So when I downloaded the nougat BTU firmware (using the samfirm program) and I flashed it on my phone using the Odin program, after the update I still had XEO as my region csc. Note: I used the home_csc file of the BTU firmware in Odin in order to also keep all the data in my phone.

If you follow the above guide, your phone will run perfectly after the update because it would be like you received the official OTA. You keep your region and you keep your data. So there will be no bugs or reception problems.

If you flash the BTU firmware but your regional csc is NOT included in the above list, then after the update, your phone will change region csc.

This does not mean that you will face problems, but it is also not 100% certain that you will not, since you are changing the regional firmware of your phone.

These are my two cents about the BTU firmware which I know better since it is the one I use to upgrade my phone. I was lucky that my regional csc (XEO) is included in the multi_csc file of BTU.

As regards other nougat s7 firmwares (i.e. XSG), I do not have any info because I do not know if they are multi_csc files and what other CSCs are included in them.

To check all above I downloaded and used the "phone info" app in the playstore.

Hope this is helpful.

One question this last BTU update, you flash it?

Or you get it through OTA?

Todays BTU 98mb update was just to contaminate my phone Facebook? Good god what has the world come to where such a life invading software/adware program seems to be so important to so many? Disabled that crap, straight away.

Any other changes or was it just a Facebook update?

Like why don't they fix the known Bluetooth bugs in android since KitKat which stop handsfree calls with older german cars (iphones have no such issue), actually improving a health and safety feature the messed up.

Rom XSG leatest voLTE available in the rom
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] madvinegar:
I had to manually flash it, because as I explained, my region csc remained XEO even after flashing BTU due to the multi_csc thing.

Officially, the XEO region is still in 6.0.1.

In order to change permanently my csc to BTU and get the BTU updates via OTA, firstly I have to flash a firmware with a csc NOT included in the multi_csc of BTU (i.e. XSG), and then flash the BTU firmware back.

But I prefer to do it my way, as I keep my phone's original csc and I have zero problems and bugs with the phone, the reception etc.

I am afraid that if I change my csc, I may encounter problems related to the different country that the phone is used. BTU is for UK, XEO is for Poland, and I live and use the phone in Greece... :D

Anyway, by flashing manually the home_csc, I keep all my data in the phone, so it's no big deal... It's like receiving the OTA...

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
Problems you will have if you keep flashing with home_CSC more you will mess with the system.

And if you flash all BTU, you don't have any problems with nothing.

Always use BTU in all my phones don't have any problems.

I already test In M all the best roms all work fine in other countries.

Only who use volte have to wait or use a CSC that works.

We can change whatever we want.

But its always better flash 4 files.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] madvinegar:
Why?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mcsssantos:
I've been flashing home_csc for a while and had zero problems so far. Nougat is not available in my country yet ( Brazil ), so I've flashed BTU, then XSG and now BTU again, using AP, BL and CP from the ROM, but keeping home_csc from my country ( Marshmallow ZTO ).

This way I can keep Samsung Pay and other features, like Identify Unsaved Numbers, which is not available in BTU, for instance.

I'll keep doing that until the official nougat ZTO rom comes out.

Like I said before, no problems whatsoever.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
I agree when it's ota we do a reset once a while.

But like me I use to flash a lot and a reset will always work better.

For battery and apps.

Enter new or old firmware some apps could give errors or not working.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] madvinegar:
Ok, thank you for your reply. I do not 100% agree because all the apps get updated when flashing newer firmware before the first boot.

I will keep flashing with home_csc and if I see that I have any problems, I will take a backup and I will flash the firmware again with the regular (not home) csc.

Up to now I have been using the home_csc and I don't have any problem. Ofcourse I believe that this has to do with the fact that I use the BTU multi_csc which includes my regional csc, and after the flashing/update, I still keep my regional csc.

I believe that you may be right if I had to flash a firmware not including my csc. Then yes I agree, it would be better to do a clean install rather than using the home_csc.

But with home_csc OTA is not working?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] madvinegar:
OTA would be working only if I changed my region csc to BTU. I have

not

changed my csc to BTU.

As explained, my csc (XEO) is included in the multi_csc of BTU firmware, so when I flash the home_csc, I keep by regional csc, i.e. I still have XEO after the update.

I will only receive an OTA when there is an OTA available for XEO. Until then, I will have to manually download and flash any BTU update available. Fyi XEO is still in android 6.0.1.

In order to get the OTAs of BTU I will have to find away to permanently change my XEO csc to BTU.

(To do this I will have to flash a firmware with a csc

not

included in the multi_csc of BTU (for example XSG), and then flash back the BTU firmware).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Reshikrom:
Same here. Flashed BTU but CSC is still DBT. Can't receive the new ota update. What do I have to do to get regular btu csc? Sorry not very experienced with that haha
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] AlanDS:
First flash XSG or INS firmware with CSC (not home_csc) and then flash BTU firmware again. This will give you proper BTU csc...

Probably... Ofcourse this does not mean that you will necessarily have a problem if you flash the csc of another country.

I just feel safer flashing the phone's original csc.

[MENTION=7479175]madvinegar[/MENTION], thank you so much for your elaborate reply and sorry for my late response. I flashed BTU but my local CSC is not among those included in it. My phone works perfectly, actually the smoothest I have experienced since GS1 and battery life is superb. What I don't understand is why the phone after flashing didn't change to my region CSC because *#1234# displays CSC as G935FOX1DPLT which is UK. Due to this, I am wondering if it's the cause of some Tethering issues I experience now and then. Why would BTU work in an XSG, AFR or KEN region? I would really love to understand this.

[MENTION=7479175]madvinegar[/MENTION], What I need to know is , will my phone experience any problems by running a CSC which is not for my location? My phone original CSC was XSG, I am currently in a KEN location which does not have Nougat released yet. Also, who releases OTA? Carriers, Samsung or what really happens? Would a carrier for instance currently running a Marshmallow 6.0.1 version release an OTA for phones in their network flashed to run Nougat 7.0?

If the phone is unlocked, it is Samsung that sends directly the updates via OTA (Over The Air).

If the phone has a carrier, then Samsung sends the firmware to the carrier, then the carrier makes their tests, amendments and additions (usually of bloatware), and then the carrier sends the OTA.

You don't need to root the phone to remove Facebook, usually unlock PHN don't bring social apps as system apps.

If you think about Android 7 update for S7, its Grace UX is a little outdated. Look at Galaxy A 2017 phones firmware. It looks different in some places than S7's official Nougat. And S7's Nougat is built on Android 7 while A phone have 7.0.1 and 7.1.1 is S8 exclusive. So even if you have last year's flagship it means nothing. To always get newest and best Android experience from Samsung, you need to buy that year's flagship and then next year's A phone(2017 in this case) and then again and again... By this, they want to get about 1100 euros(judging by amazon's prices and by that you will buy the phone in release day) from a person in 1 year. I think my S7 was the last phone from Samsung.

What's the difference between a BTU and an XEU handset? I've run a phone info app and It says my firmware and Active CSC are XEU, but then has a list of Available CDCs, which includes BTU...? Am a bit of a newbie on this and thought I understood it until I opened the phone info app!

From what I understand (correct me if I'm wrong anyone) BTU are phones bought directly from Samsung only while XEU are those bought from alternative retailers like Carphone Warehouse etc.
