Flashing CSC is the same as a factory reset

If you don't flash CSC it won't wipe, but might have problems
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rondera:
Normally, I install a update without wiping. If my phone gets slow after installing a new update, I will do a wipe.

I live in Germany, so I haven't seen a nougat update OTA. Is there a safe way to install nougat over odin without wipe everything? I want to install the update and it should behave like an OTA update :)

Can I use a BTU firmware on my phone? (Bought in germany unlocked)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RS050377:
Flash the BTU firmware with HOME_CSC from your german firmware and you will keep all your data.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rondera:
Thanks a lot! What a fast reply! :)

Will I get future updates OTA? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rigocalin:
Not for me.

I flashed over my ORO, the BTU firmware with HOME_ORO scs, so no data lost, recovery shows ORO as CSC, I have the VoLTE and VoWIFI enabled but no call can be made..

So apparently the firmware does not have VoLTE enabled. (Beta1 used to have it!!)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidcol:
Is anyone else annoyed by being unable to turn off "pop-up preview" "peek" "heads up" "whatever they're called" notifications? In MM you can disable them in this menu but now you can't! You have to completely silent it.

Flashed it yesterday in Costa Rica. Working fine as we speak
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Richy101:
You and me both. I never imagined my S7 was anything else but BTU. Bought unlocked from carphone warehouse. No idea when XEU might get over the air update. May flash BTU or Nougat BTU at the weekend.But anyhow, it may not be much of a wait and not like I'm fed up with 6.0.1.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] StereoSteo:
Battery life still seems as good so far today for me on WQHD as it was on FHD. I don't have it on performance mode though, still optimized but it doesn't seem to be running any slower. The settings I have it on scored 120000 on antutu.

The drain that people did have and I had, must've just been from the android system draining all the battery.

I know it's still a bit early after the nougat release but that's a good sign so far after 2 days on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ttlmd:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidcol:
I know right? If someone find a solution please share, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GenesMan:
Thanks !! Downloading now
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] StereoSteo:
Still really happy with the battery life. 6+ hours SOT on 20%. I did plug the USB cable into the computer for a few minutes to transfer files but that wouldn't of charged it much.

Anyway looks like nougat has a warning about apps that drain your battery also. I had album art downloading with an app and left it merging the songs back into albums that ended up singled out of them and suddenly I get this warning to tell me apps are draining my battery lol.

Can a G930F firmware be installed on G930FD?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kenny64:
Just one simple, yet stupid question. I saw different guides with Odin and i took a chance last time, because one guide included everything and another just had the big one selected. When installing, do we include all those files, or just simply the firmware file?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] hawkwind:
Is there a way to change just the csc from xeu to btu then do a reset to get the update?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MozezzFG:
I believe that I've reading here in some post that's working. But I'm not sure maybe I'm wrong.

Just try to flash just csc when you're lucky you get the ota. Otherwise flash full firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeozme:
if you change csc it will wipe everything anyway. so better do a full and clean install of the complete rom

Without root of course and stock Nougat.

Or does anyone know when the official OTA update will come for this model? This S7 is manufactured in Vietnam btw.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fathern:
Thanks for that

I flashed the above using Odin.

I don't know if I am going crazy but since rebooting the screen seems slightly stretched. The clock and the battery text in particular seem ever so slightly squashed; almost like the resolution is slightly out.

I have before and after screenshots that seem to show this also. Did I do something wrong or does 7.0 just look this way?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] darknagel:
I Think its because the new Display resulotion there is a setting in Display. With mm we had WQHD and now its fhd by default. When its Not from this Option i dont know maybe a Factory reset would help you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fathern:
You could be right but before I was using a beta version of 7.0 and I think I used the same setting.

In the screenshot you posted the clock and text also look stretched to me. Here is my before and after flashing shots:

Before / After

It isn't a huge deal but seems a little odd. Maybe this is just the way it looks now
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] eltechron:
On mine it looks fine.. probably changed from MM
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] throbberx8:
I sure Mines the same,I got the OTA update.

Little bit annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fathern:
Yeah it is very strange. I am convinced now that the screen is slightly squashed, especially when compared directly with the previous betas. Even the text in my notifications looks a little warped. Perhaps this is an issue in the official firmware or maybe it is a new look they are going for...? It is a subtle but noticible change.

I have no clue what I am talking about really but is it possible the resolution as been set for the Edge version and then squashed to fit on a regular S7 size screen?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] V3R:
@up - when using standard font, Nougat uses different typeface in the status bar and few other places, Roboto Condensed to be precise. Try other font, and check your resolution as it is defaulted at FHD.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeozme:
I can confirm it works. Choose Gothic bold or download Samsung sans and it looked like before again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fathern:
Thank you, it seems you are 100% right.

I guess I am picky as I don't really like the default, gothic bold or Samsung sans. Oh well, will just have to keep my fingers crossed someone will release a Roboto (non condensed) through the font section of the store. It is a little odd as screenshots of the Nexus devices running 7.0 seem to have the non condensed version .
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] V3R:
Yeah I also don't really like any of those, and I feel a massive pain in my a** everytime I look on my rooted s5 with all those pretty fonts on it :p such a pity sammy blocked installing 3rd party fonts...

Edit: forgot to ask - how do you feel about battery on nougat? I flashed by odin with no data wipe, only cache, and surpassed 6h sot on the first battery cycle :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Deadly1337:
Settings -> Display -> Screen zoom and font -> (+) Download Fonts -> SamsungSans .

Check this font it's probably much nicer than the " Default " one .
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDusan:
Here are my thoughts on nougat after 4 days of usage:

Cons:

1. I hoped that battery life will be better, but for me it's worse than on marshmallow. And yes, I did a factory reset when I updated it. And yes again, I know it takes a day or two to settle, and no, I'm not using AOD. Sync off, location on power save. I mean, it's not much worse, and with EZ disabler I'll probably get back to where I was with the battery life on 6.0. Right now I get max 4h SOT with 20-25% of battery left. Android sistem is still always right under the display in battery usage.

1.1 I think that the battery life also has to do with the non-optimised 3rd party apps, I've seen a lot of bugs in messenger, whatsapp..

2. The app switcher is laggy and skips some animations always. I don't know why they have to downgrade basic stuff like the app switcher, I mean, are they blind? On mm it had a beautiful animation that never lagged for me. Also, when the recents button is clicked, the recent apps open, but if it's touched again, switcher doesn't close. It opens the last closed app. That's very stupid (in my opinion) because there are a lot of times when I press the recents button when typing on keyboard, and just cklick it again to close the recents.

3. My files app has a laggy scroll slider, but that isn't a big issue for now.

Pros:

1. Sound on headphones is much louder (finally). And It's more equal when turning volume up and down, it doesn't get loud like hell on the last two steps on the volume slider.

2. Keyboard doesn't lag anymore, I love how it works and how they upgraded the look of it.

3. Blue light filter works very well, I'm already using it on setting to turn on every evening at 9.

4. I love the option to turn off auto reconnect for a wifi network.

5. Fingerprint seems to be working a bit faster than on MM.

6. The new notification panel looks good and everything works as it should. Brightness slider still has a bug sometimes when it doesn't move.

7. I like those "looking for something else?" suggestions in settings menu's, and "back to top" buttons across the system.

That's it for now, I hope that this will be helpful for someone. I'm sure I forgot aomething but oh well :)

It's a pretty stable first update overall.

What kind of apps are you using? I'm getting best SOT of using this device! FHD, location on power save, AOD on, wifi/4g all the time. Snapchat, messenger almost all day, taking few photos per day and playing some games for about 20mins(two dots, COC, zynga poker)... And I'm getting 5-6h SOT with 10-15% battery left.

Standby time also improved to me. With MM after 9hours of not using phone battery dropped 4-5% and now with N only 1-2% :angel:

Update to Nougat was succesfull but 1st Boot after autoroot - IT IS NOT ACCEPTING MY BOOT PASSWORD, anybody an idea if this tool is changing it to any default mess ??? :(

Right not the phone is sucked up. Anybody any idea what to do ? Wipe is not an option, better i trow it into the toilet. Password was set before update, was working after the update, is not workign after autoroot.

Think this "let's try" was a really Schitty idea. IT IS INACCEPTABLE THAT IT IS CHANGING THE PASSWORDF ITSELF

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] thorium666:
Hi,

Thanks, "default_password" is not working. Really 180% frustration here... "Incorrect password entered".

On a computer i would say it could be a DE/EN keybaord issue but here it is showing what i'm typing. Need help, can not spend 1/2 weekend to again all spam removal, app install, ownclould integration etc, just no time for this fun..

Searching the internet there is exactly 0 about auto root & boot password in combination.

I have an update. I flashed Nougat again, the password is being accepted. There must be a bug in the Autoroot Routine.

Removed boot protection, auto-rooted again, hangin in boot (pulsing samsung logo since 5min), will wait, if it is not helping will flash nougat again and looks like i will have a schitty phone with bloatware and unusable internet (ads) for next days..

Are there alternatives to Autoroot ? I really don't feel good having Facebook, Whatsapp and similar crap on the phone...

Only flashing TWRP > SuperSU, but flashing TWRP = Wiping phone

Package Disabler Pro is a non-root way to disable apps you otherwise would need root for
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] teh_1:
Phone info shows the following CSC codes available and active, any chances i can install the UK version while also not having to do a complete data wipe?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] thorium666:
Hi,

yes, i've disabled these Whatsapp, Spybooks, instagrams and googlies, but still, they are updating and existing on the device. TWRP was working without a Wipe, but manual SuperSU also ended in a bootloop. I need root, not using any devices & internet if there are Ads on it. No chance right now, need to wait for updates, can live with basic functionality and no internet usage for some time, i'm not a zombie ;).

The new nougat mail client is really looking bad, too bright, white background and black fonts. Not good for the battery life, the theme seems not to changing it for the moment. They also removed the nice functionality getting quick access to some functions. Now e.g. storage., battery menus are in an overfilled "system maintenance" container with a different UI. Additionally there is really in every menu useless decoration called "Looking for something else", no idea what to do with this. Want to buy a TV - asking me if i not better buy a vaccumcleaner. The system itself is running without issues.

Currently this device is not looking like from one source as with 6.0.1, it is more looking like a collection from different developers. Too many items are in their own, different UIs.

---------- Post added at 01:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 AM ----------

Well, I'm basically using the same apps as you. :)

Quick comparison: I'm on wqhd res (whats the use of 2k screen if I need to downgrade the res), location also on power save, AOD off, I'm always using wifi OR 4g, sync is off, no mail accounts... I'm using messenger and instagram often, snapchat sometimes... I like to charge my phone at 20% minimum to prolong the battery lifespan.

Are U using any kind of disabler? I'm back to EZ disabler, I don't know why is android system always second on my draining list, but it's like that since I bought the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidcol:
Well I'm getting this battery life with high accuracy location, auto brightness, sync on and AOD, also power saving (only speed limiter on), already same apps and settings that on MM since 3 days ago. Slightly higher than MM in my case.
