HOW TO INSTALL WITHOUT ANY BUGS AND FCs

Many people ask here how to do, what to do, and where they are :confused: so I will make a guide how did I flashed Nougat without any fc or bugs so far. I am not a fan of dirty flashing and saving some data from previous version of android so this guide is for clean install Android 7.0 Nougat. Maybe If author can stick this to the OP it will be better.

THIS WORKS FOR INTERNATIONAL (UNLOCKED) VARIANT SM-G935F

1. Download the firmware

2. Download Odin 3.11.1

3. Unzip the firmware you should have 4 files

4. Run Odin and add files to the coresponding lines, so AP to AP, BL to BL etc...

5. Switch off your phone and go into recovery(volume up + home + power) and make wipe/factory reset, afterwards do a reboot and right after your phone reboots make a combo to download mode(volume down + home + power) it should appear immidiatelly

6. Connect the phone to pc and click start in odin

7. Let the phone boot, (during the boot process, dont worry if the phone reboots a few times its normal behaviour)

Yeah I can only see play button and if I press on that it takes to music player there's no fast forward ECT or even pause button.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ajwconsult:
Working ok without wiping or flashing CSC so far

All installed without any issues without applying the CSC file and only clearing cache.

Will give it a good test tomorrow, but most apps I usually use are working ok even sidesync.

I flashed the firmware without csc. Didn't lose any data And every thing is going well now. Just when I go to the csc tab of the phone info app there is nothing to show about csc... :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mateus-pt:
This works with a Vodafone Network locked s7 edge?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Oriann:
I have experience just with International variant SM-G935F, for this model it just works. Sorry I forgot to mention that in my post
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mateus-pt:
I have the same SM-G935F but locked to Vodafone UK

Yours is unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Turb0wned:
Any chance this works on the US unlocked model? G35U?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Oriann:
I believe you should firstly try to flash the rom, if anything bad happen, be prepared with Smart Switch to recover your phone if it wont work.

If you fail then try to unlock your bootloader, you can search for this on google and try again and then it should work on 100%

Yeah and mine phone is unlocked from factory
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CJSnet:
Thanks. As for the other 3 files, which did you load into Odin?

Thanks!

Did u flash through odin or OTA....if it's odin pls go to settings and click about device and click status and in the device status is it saying official or custom...and also are u having beta community in the beta app...thx

Do we have adopted storage on 7.0?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] the_scotsman:
So in my 10 years of ROM flashing, and my role on XDA, I've never flashed a Samsung ROM :laugh: :silly:

Do we need to flash the CSC? From what I understand, this is region/carrier specific. Will I lose any functionality flashing this one? What exactly does it do, and what effect will it have?

EDIT: Flashing now. But I'm curious if/why we can't keep our own CSC? Does it need to be matched with the ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] freeskater2:
yes i flashed NEE csc home, and after that it went away

Anybody finding issues with Bluetooth? Especially in-car Bluetooth using Media/Phone centres and /or Garmin or TomTom navigators?

---------- Post added at 08:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 AM ----------

I thought we could actually use the last existing Australian XSA CSC that came in the last Full Samsung ROM along with the new files......or that is the impression I got from these posts.

Can someone confirm this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] the_scotsman:
I'm honestly not sure, that's what I was asking. This is my first Samsung device so I have no idea.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] worf_1977:
All of them are meant to be flashed at the same time.

In short, put each file on it's corresponding slot while in download mode, hit START button, relax and enjoy

It is possible to install this beta version using only 3 files (BL, AP, CP), this will allow to maintain the personal data and also the configuration of the service provider.

Bugs etc.. can be reported via the Samsung Members app that is installed with the Nougat beta

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jdjta:
Don't know how it worked on a N7 but on my S7E it works by double tapping for every action. For Spotify controls you double tap on the song title and than double tap on the 'button' (previous, next or play/pause) to perform the action.

Thank you very much my Friend, you helped me alot :)

I installed everything and it works so far.. Bluetooth isnt working at all (no gear fit, no level active), music App doesnt works, batterie drain is bigger, the ui is lagging some times.. this isnt the same ux as in Note 7 was.. but it looks good, different. I think i will change Back to mm anyway nur thanks alot :)

Hi everybody,

Everything works fine for me ....

Juste one question : Do we receive OTA update after flashing or we'll have to flash new roms everytime a new version is built ?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Geoz:
For those who want to keep original CSC of their region, I can confirm its working and this is what I did:

Flash AP, BL and CP excluding CSC from Nougat beta.

I don't know if this is necessary but I set pin/password for "Secure Startup" and after reboot I set it back to (Do not require)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cokbok:
Is there a chance you lead me towards how you did it? My phone has OJV (Turkey CSC) and I would like to keep that if possible.

Does anyone know if anyone in US actually got the software update? I know the registration went live, i tried to go it but it was already full and samsung isn't taking any registration! :( If anyone gets it it would be awesome if they upload the software ( I have the Verizon s7 edge SM-G935V)

Is possible to flash csc in the zip and afterwards flash my country csc ? Or that will break some things ? Or even better question if that CSC would change someting major ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] xAD3r1ty:
Runs perfect, just booted up
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Masterfellow:
Sure. Don't worry about your current build. Download the build, the one in this thread already contains BTU CSC, so you will just go to ODIN, throw those files in there and flash it. Make sure, the "re-partition" is not ticked and that your device will require a password after restart. Done, the new rom and files, both should be there.

PS: Just in case, back up at least something... Photos, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] t0m2k:
omfg. flashing at the moment... cant wait :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cokbok:
Thanks for your reply. Please correct me if I am wrong, if I follow you and flash the new ROM using the BTU CSC that is within the downloaded zip file, won't I have the CSC changed to BTU? If so, is there a way I keep my own TUR CSC? Some mention that I can use the HOME_CSC from a MM ROM and that should suffice but I don't want to end up having a bricked phone :)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Masterfellow:
Uhh... I'm not sure. Technically it should be OK if you keep your CSC, but don't take my word for it... I'm really not sure about this.

Btw even if it would be bricked, you can still open ODIN and do a clean flash just to be sure.

Not sure if 6.0.1 CSC will work with Nougat but try, in the worst case You will have to reflash Nougat CSC.

And to everyone: Seems like Samsung didn't update their S-Health app yet. Probably because the official OTA hasn't been released yet. That's why it doesn't work with new knox, also beta might have disabled some parts of knox for some reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ProtoDeVNan0:
I haven't tried that, but to get root to work we need to modify the kernel and do couple of more things, so probably it doesn't work. But if anyone wants they can try, it won't hard brick Your phone to death :)

I'm in Croatia, bonbon network and 4g apn won't work, asked operator to send me config message with setup in it ab it won't install. mms settings config installs but not the one for App:Browser. Maybe someone has an idea why is that? 3g works without a problem with 3g apn, and with the one for 4g i won't connect to any mobile data network.

Yes, there is a 4g coverage at my place, and yes, it worked on MM yesterday

i flashed bundled csc. I don't think it's the root source of my issue as i'm in croatia and my phone is from Germany so i had german CSC on MM and it just worked.
