Debrand Swedish SM-928F - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got a three branded s6 Edge + and the three branding really annoys me. I dont feel like i have the need to root the phone but is there a way to unbrand the phone?
I tried to find the BTU version for sweden on sammobile but i only found the three version.
So can i just go with a UK BTU version or should i just wait for a swedish one to get released?

Use Odin to flash an unbranded firmware. Download the firmware from sammobile for your model.

Restore i9001 firmware

I need to restore the original firmware for my SGS+, but I can't seem to find it. I went to sammobile and found list of firmwares, but I can't find my country there, or any other country with the same carrier as I need.
I need a firmware for Serbia, carrier Telenor. The closest I could find is Croatia and Bosnia, but they don't have Telenor.
Is there a way to find the firmware I need, and if not, which one should I flash to successfully restore the original firmware?
btw, I bought my phone from Telenor and I have contract with them.
Flash an unbranded one for you device.
I had an Vodafone NL branded version but after the KIES update from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 i got an unbranded one.

Can't find Stock Firmware for dual Sim model SM935FD

Hi. I bought s7 edge in Thailand.
I was trying to find its stock firmware to get my phone a new fresh start. So far, I only found a link to Singapore firmware.
Here is from my phone
free upload
I heard you can flash single Sim firmware into dual one, but I was just afraid and prefer original firmware (before I root it soon hahaha)
Any idea where I can find one for my Thailand model.

OLB covering Malaysia/Philippines/Singapore/Thailand/Vietnam. I believe your latest update is of February 2016
Download Phone INFO Samsung from playstore and look for the active CSC. It has got a country shown as well.
I have a FD version as well with XME (Malaysia) CSC. But from what I have researched, for Galaxy S7 Edge specifically, Samsung has been releasing OTA updates (three times; once a month since Feb) for OJV countries (Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia,South Africa, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey), XSG (united arab emirates) and EU countries (NEE=Netherland, DBT=Germany, LUX=Luxembourg so far)
I have decided to flash the DBT firmware as from the look of firmware updates trend, Galaxies with DBT receive the earliest and most frequent updates from Sammy. Everything is working fine. No Knox triggered. Not too sure about the warranty; i guess it doesn't matter that much since samsung only looks at whether your knox has been triggered.
Good luck
thank you
can I flash German firmware only PDA or i have to flash CSC and MODEM too?

Newbie-alert: How to think when choosing firmware..

Okay so this is a newbie question, I realise that.
I'll just get right to it. Facts:
I have a S7 Edge bought in Sweden (I live here) from the operator Telia
If I look at samfirmware or updato I can see that two specific Sweden-firmwares, operator "Tre (HTS)" and and one just called "Sweden (VDS)"
I can also see a firmware, that has not been updated since july, called "Nordic Countries (NEE).
So. I gathered that being that Telia doesnt have a specific release in the lists, Tre is not my operator and I dont know what "Sweden (VDS)" means I'd ask what I should use and flash?
I dont care about OTA:s, I want to flash when I choose to and manually..
How should I think and choose?
N
Go with Nordic Countries NEE. I've had NEE firmware on my S7E before I flashed custom rom. I don't know about VDS firmware but with HTS firmware you will get apps like Mitt3, Yelp and few more. Telia uses NEE firmware I remember when I got S4 from Telia I've had NEE firmware. Cheers!

Sammobile wrong firmware! Please help

Hello,
Yesterday I downloaded the Vodafone Italian Nougat firmware, flashed it and immediately as my S7E turned on I saw that the firmware was wrong.
In fact the firmware is from Germany No Brand, I already downloaded it again just to make sure that I didn't made any mistakes, flashed it again and I have the same problem.
Sammobile take up to 10 days to respond, So I'm asking if anyone else has this problem, or maybe can anyone upload the real Vodafone Italia Nougat firmware:
Model SM-G935F
Model name Galaxy S7 edge
Country Italy (Vodafone)
Version Android 7
Changelist 10422490
Build date Mon, 20 Feb 2017 06:27:00 +0000
Security Patch Level 2017-02-01
Product code OMN
PDA G935FXXU1DQBT
CSC G935FVFG1DQBT

Thanks, will download, flash and report back here
I downloaded that one myself some days ago and had no issues.
However, I am wondering why did you flash it if it was wrong. You can easily determine it by the filename.
Has your device been on OMN before?

Yes mine is branded Vodafone, but I had the UK Nougat flashed, now I saw that finnaly Italian Vodafone Nougat became available I donwloaded it to flash, but the guys from sammobile made an mistake, yes the firmware is Vodafone, but it's germany not italy
It contains actually several countries but all are Vodafone branded.
Did you have a Vodafone Italy SIM inside when booting up for the first time?

Yes ofcourse, I an prepaid Vodafone SIM installed. The phone was not bought under any contract with Vodafone
the firmware is multi csc files with Germany is the main CSC. we cannot do anything with it. The only way i know how to change the csc fully to your country is via Samsung Service Center or you need to root the device and do it with samsung phoneinfo apps. Root and you will loose samsung pay function/secure folder and any knox related software like shealth
Usually the CSC changes accordingly to the sim inserted. Only if there's no corresponding csc it takes the default one in multi csc roms.
Please download Phone INFO ★Samsung★ and posts screens here to see what's really going on.
Here's the screenshot
Anyone has an solution?

Flash your original marshmallow firmware using the CSC. It will factory reset your device
Flash the latest Nougat firmware using the HOME_CSC from your original firmware (can be the marshmallow one or if you have an Nougat one, use this). Don't use the nougat CSC file anymore.
Unfortunately without a Single CSC file you are not getting back to your original CSC and a single CSC has not been published for Vodafone Italy. In case of multi CSC the system uses the CSC already applied or in case of change (since you've BTU at the moment) the standard CSC which is VD2 (Vodafone Germany) in this case.
The only way to change that is with root.

I said using CSC meaning the firmware included all the stuff of your firmware.
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Unfortunately that won't help as there's no firmware which only includes Vodafone Italy. There's only one with several European Vodafone settings and if you flash that onto a device with non-Vodafone CSC such as BTU it used the standard CSC included which is Vodafone Germany. I thought first different, too, unfortunately there's no way without root (tested it by myself).
Rooting is out of picture, because I don't want to loose warranty.
I'll try to download and flash Vodafone Italy MM, then flash it, after I'll flash again the nougat with the old MM csc.
Edit: in this case I'll wait for a few weeks until Vodafone Italy will release the proper csc file.
Thanks

returning phone to stock g950f vod

i have a vodafone uk g950f. i am trying to return it to stock so i can get the screen repaired after breaking it.
i downloaded what was supposed to be the vod uk firmware from samfirm and one from updato. both of these firmwares turned out to be listed wrong and were german.
is there a real uk VOD csc firmware out there? i am now downloading one from sammobil in the hope of it actually being the vodafone uk firmware.
my csc now reads VD2/VOD/VOD and i want to return it to VOD/VOD/VOD if anyone could link me to a verified uk VOD rom it would be very much appreciated as it takes so long to download firmware for it to turn out to be the wrong one.
ok i have now flashed 3 different uk vod firmwares. everytime i boot afterwards and the firmware is german not uk and my csc is vd2/vod/vod? what am i doing wrong?
Flashing the wrong version probably.
I need you to send me your build version from your settings so I can send you the right file to flash.
Hi i got s8 from vodafone and flashed the latest xeu but a few months later started to get screen burn so I had to return phone back to shop but before i did had to flash vod again and I heard stories of people installing it then getting vod2 as csc.
Well I had to try so I went to sammobile firmware and looked for latest UK vod update downloaded that and once I did that checked settings and my phone was back to vod no German vod which was a stroke of luck.
