did you mean TA of commercial can be used for other regions to get back DRM key without any problems?

also if I use commercial MM firmware , and unlockbootloudar, how can I change my region from commercial to SA, I have the nougat customized SA, but I dont have MM customized SA which I want to use it on my device, because Nougat is not support Xposed yet. which I have done all of this post for it :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] engineer000:
As far as I know, the TA partition is unique to the device regardless of the firmware. What you can do is to install the commercial firmware > backup TA > upgrade to nougat SA and unlock bootloader OR unlock bootloader and upgrade to nougat SA . then proceed with the installing androplus kernel and TWRP. By the way, some custom roms uses Generic firmware
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] nolihowell:
You can try the prf creator method and flash mm firmware via twrp. In the twrp perform factory reset before installing the firmware.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] crzykiller:
AKT is terrible and does not improve battery life because performance is drastically reduced and you're stuck spending more time for things to load.

Also no, third party camera apps don't have full API2 control and sometimes glitch, the stock OOS camera app in manual is the best solution at the time.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] crzykiller:
I still get microstutters with the more performance oriented profiles and battery life is not improved much... I can get 9 hours SOT with stock Blu spark or Franco settings if I watch movies and watch YouTube + text. Using your phone out and about listening to music, using 4g and playing a couple games, the profiles don't change much in terms of battery life and the loss of performance is noticeable. In my opinion it is not worth it but if you don't care about the slight loss of performance and you're a very light user then it benefits, but that's the 1% of the 1%... Most people like there phones to be butter smooth even if it means ever so slightly worse battery life.

[Asus Zenfone Max Questions & Answers] kunalshandilya:
Hi there! I have this question which I'd love to have answered because I've been on this issue for around 2 days straight.

Long story short:

Tried to flash custom recovery using fastboot, didn't work because bootloader locked

Kept on trying the unlocker apps, none of them even installed fully (THIS WAS WHEN I WAS STILL ON LOLLIPOP)

Somehow, at some point, I just randomly rebooted and BOOM THERE WAS TWRP (Sorry, I don't remember how exactly I managed that. As far as I remember, I was only using fastboot and nothing else)

Flashed CM 14.1 unofficial, device gave an error message regarding boot.img (something like "could not load boot.img"

Used stock ROM to flash OTA Android 6.1

Now the Asus unlocker app downloads but on reboot it says "error: unlock fail !!!"

Obviously, fastboot is unable to flash a recovery right now. I tried ignoring the error message and rebooting to recovery to stop the device from loading the stock recovery again but the device still loads the stock recovery.

I'm really tired

P.S: NO, there is no Enable OEM option in my Developer Options menu and YES, I have all the drivers necessary.
[Asus Zenfone Max Questions & Answers] bryangb:
Did you get anywhere with this? I have a similar problem except that I couldn't flash Android 6.1 because the vendor had flashed WW 5.0.2 on a CN phone without also updating the CN recovery to WW. So the update failed its consistency check.

I've got TWRP on there now, but can't unlock the bootloader in 5.0.2 - I think this is why TWRP can't flash anything. It can't see the update files, won't switch to external SD, etc. .

I also found and tried flashing a WW recovery but that didn't work either. I'm wondering now if I got the 615 software by mistake.

Great work! I have a small issue, I'm not sure if it is with the LeftLayout code or the CMSwitchPreference. Everytime I open my Settings/Display (where I put the switch) it reverts back to the default value without me changing it. Has anyone else noticed this issue? Hopefully there will be an easy fix for it. Thanks again.

[MENTION=6696465]Zidni[/MENTION] I have an update for this mod for those who are using settings instead of ROM control. It will allow them to use SwitchPreference instead of com.android.settings.cyanogenmod.SystemSettingSwitchPreference. Done this new way, the switch generates a boolean value in shared_prefs (where the CMSwitch doesn't) so the switches don't revert back to default every time the page/fragment is inflated.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Semek:
Hi guys,

just bought a new Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F).

Of course I got it with the Android 6.0.1 but I want to upgrade it to 7.

As for now, my build has no OTA updates to 7, but I saw that there's a UK build for Android 7.

Question is... if my build number is G930FXXU1BPLB, can I upgrade it to other build number, as for example to: G930FXXU1DPLT ?

And.. if I can do that... Will I get OTA updates of the future releases? It's important to note that I live in Israel, so what happens if I Install an UK build?

Will it block me to get OTA updates because I'm not from the region?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Tekkpriest:
Everything works, except WifiCalling and VoLTE, if you switch to a british firmware.

So OTA's and the like won't be a problem. It's the same experience as if you were using your current german firmware in Israel.

For OTA's be sure to use the correct CSC file, so it get's changed aswell. DBT/BTU mix stuff won't get you OTA's

Given that i had a problem with restoring WhatsApp's chatlog when switching from 6.0 to 7.0 (which according to google and a post here, i'm the only one to have it), it's still advised to read up on app compatibility.

Also it's advised to do a factory reset after flashing, so everything is reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Semek:
Thanks,

So I understand you won't any problems. And I don't really need the WiFi calling.

But about the VoLTE, do you mean that I'll loose the 4G ? Or do you something else?

About the CSC, I have to admit that I don't really know what it is. Is it a file that comes with the files that I should flash?

About the build number, I've just saw that there's a newer build of UK according to sammobile website: G930FXXU1DQB3 (released on the 06/02/2017), and the G930FXXU1DPLT (released on 16/01/2017) that I've stated in the original topic.

Is there a difference between them, should I go with the G930FXXU1DQB3 ?

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Tekkpriest:
VoLTE is the "new" standard for calling.

Normally, when you call someone and don't use VoLTE, you fall back to the local 2G/3G network, which is slower and has lesser quality. Since many providers, atleast in my country, haven't completely switched over (for example prepaid customers still have the outdated 2G/3G calling), you should not notice much of a difference, since it's the same call quality as in 2013 for example. You will still understand people, as they will understand you.

4G / LTE data connectivity is unaffected by it and works without any problems, regardless of country etc. , unless you travel to america and use a local providers sim card there, where you might need the Snapdragon variant of the S7.

That being said, i flashed the newest firmware (DQB3) and it works flawlessly, except afromentioned WhatsApp problem. The only difference is, the update dated to the end of january is included, which fixes some stuff.

A CSC file contains country specific settings, like frequencies used, APN's and even carrier brandings are found in this file, which is why they might differ in size for different regions/carriers.

Because of that, VoLTE and wifi calling might not work, since, in this case, they use the BTU networks standard and you are not in the UK but Israel, aswell as probably not using a british provider.

Anyways back to your question:

There are 2 CSC files, the ROM`s CSC one and a HOME_CSC.

To receive OTA's, you will need to flash the normal CSC and not the HOME one. This will reset and wipe your device (backup all important stuff beforehand) and you get a device "fresh out of the box" bought in the UK.

The HOME CSC does not wipe your memory, but you won't receive OTA updates aswell, since your device hasn't changed it CSC and thus "is not an original BTU device".

So if you go down that route, which is perfectly acceptable and should not make any problems, you will have to flash updates manually via Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Semek:
Wow, thanks for the reply! ;)

I just want to be sure before I do it...

Are those the only options I need to check & load in Odin for flashing the new ROM?

Because I have few more files in the folder like BL and CP.

I've got a question too. I would like to change my 6.0.1 on 7.0, also British stuff but I'm a little bit concerned about mixing XEO and BTU. Is it possible to mix 6.0.1 HOME_CSC XEO (latest) with 7.0 British BTU + PIT file from the 7.0 BTU Home (I would like to make factory reset and have my native CSC file)? Does it make difference to take PIT file from 6.0.1 or 7.0 Home file either?
