OTA Binary File P7510 (ICS 4.0.4): what to do with it

Dear all,
I just noticed that the OTA ICS 4.0.4. for my country is released on Sammobile for my P7510. I downloaded the file, but don't know what to do with it, or how to install it. At this moment I run the XEU release and I am very pleased, but for warranty reasons, one likes to go back to a version of the country where the device is bought.
So my question is what to do with this binary? Hope you guys know. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dead Silence

When you say binary, do you mean the tar.md5 file, if so just flash it via Odin and you'll be running your country's ROM, plus your CSC should return back to what ever it was before you changed it to XEU.
If it doesn't change the CSC, use mobile Odin to flash the cache partition only. That should add the CSC back on to the device but you may still need a CSC changer from the market to actually get it to the original.

Thanks for response. I do not mean the tar.md5 file, that one I can deal with ODIN and stuff. I mean a file with file extension .bin, download via Sammobile in firmware section over there. Direct link: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/171858862/2649dfb/GT-P7510_PHN_249719138.bin.html

There are single-CSC firmware and also multi-CSC firmware available. Instead of adding the CSC yourself, you can choose the appropriate firmware (that contains the CSC you want) to flash. I see there is no reason to add an CSC manually.
If you still want to add CSC, we will discuss further...

If so, I will tell you how to add the CSC to the stock firmware (I have NOT tried, but hope it works )

I asked this because I don't know how to create tar.md5 archive nor ext4 image file.
And as I have said, I have never tried that, but will try to do with you.
Give me some time, I will get back to this thread.

#1 Root your phone
for s5 I prefer towerroot as the knox counter is not flagged
#2 install SuperSU
Premade MODS
OPTIONAL install xposed installer for premade mods not all work depending
my phone G900W8 does not use feature.xml for CSC info like G900F
#3 Simplest way is to buy a decent file browser FX with root addon (I personnaly USE)
or use ES (Free) think it works
edit the CSC file by remounting the file system as writable and a file editor right on your phone. REBOOT for results!
*** recommend you backup the CSC files before modification,

@vndnguyen @learning1
I Saw in other forum how to flash on Rom with (signal-csc) other Roms with other csc (multi -csc) without ROOT!
no all ways this app will work with Signal-csc:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&feature
the error in odin was:
<ID:0/003> cache.img.ext4
<ID:0/003> hidden.img.ext4
<ID:0/003> FAIL! (Ext4)
-My friend try this way in Section 2 (after it fail in the first time)
he extract the with 7zip the file" MODEM.BIN" from the rom with multi-csc and flash with odin in CP with the device in Download mode.
Tricks for Changing CSC Code While Flashing the Stock Firmware:
Sometimes when you just flashed the stock firmware it will not change the CSC code in jut one way around.
The below method might help to obtain the CSC file you want.
Make sure to recharge your phone before anything else.
Fully back-up all important data stored from your phone. You may use Kies 3 to back up and restore or through your Google and Samsung account.
1. Run and configure Odin. Do not check “Re-Partition” and “Auto Reboot” check boxes.
2. Load the stock firmware in the PDA button.
3. Set the phone in download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power button). Then connect the phone in your computer.
4. Hit the “Start” button and then wait.
5. Once the flashing successfully completed. Do not let it reboot into the normal mode.
6. Reboot into recovery mode (Volume Up+Home+Power button).
7. See if it’s applying the CSC file then wait until it finishes and reboot.
8. If you do not see the CSC installation, instead choose the “Wipe data/Factory reset”. Then repeat flashing the stock firmware. You may then achieved the CSC code flashing the stock firmware on the second attempt.
10. Confirm the CSC code by using Kies 3 and see if the CSC code has changed.
1.There is other way to flash other rom with multi-CSC from signal-CSC (mayby with PIT files?)
2.when we do flash PIT other then it corrupted or missed from your device?
3.there is a chance that there is a differences (in partition ) between ROMS form the same Module but other rigons?

Any Complication with Installing a Different Region's Firmware?

My phone's csc region code is MTZ (Zambia), and I am planning to flash a Mexico unbranded firmware. Is this possible?
I had an S7 edge (tmobile) from the US before, ,and I have never experience call drop before. Ever since I got the international S7 Edge, I got a lot of call drops...is this normal? is the firmware to blame for? if so, should I install a different firmware from other region?

I think you have to flash your csc region code together with your choice unbranded firmware without the csc

When you extract your firmware you replace the csc with your original one and flash all the files with Odin. Warning your device will be wiped

OK, if you have the original firmware/rom for your device just extract with 7-zip if not download that and also download the newest one and extract that as well. You'll find five files just replace the csc from the original firmware/rom and import all four files into odin except Home_CSC and as I said before this will wipe all your data so backup your important files before flashing.

How to reinstall firmware on S7 edge?

Hi everyone. I am having battery drain issues after i installed the September security update. I want to reinstall the firmware on smart switch by connecting to PC.

When you brick your device it has nothing to do with Odin (use the latest version)
Make sure you install the right firmware for your device
Import the appropriate files to Odin exactly where they supposed to be
You'll have five files when unpacked downloaded package
Installing CSC will wipe your device, to avoid that you have to install HOME_CSC instead
You may also need to set a password for a secure startup as it may ask

Hey again, @Geoz
I have two questions:
1. I can't get FOTA on my S7E, I think because the CSC file. Can I really flash the "HOME" one and not wipe data?
2. If I want to flash another Stock ROM, I must set secure startup? And if I forget, there is any solution?

If you want to flash different stock firmware other than your region, flash the three (BL, AP, CP ) and use your original HOME_CSC (you are aware that you have to start all over), installing your region stock firmware with HOME_CSC will not wipe your device.
If you forget password use (default_password) without the brackets but it's important to set it before and use it only if you forget

But if I will flash other region FW and my own country CSC, I won't be able to get FOTA. As far as I know, The FW and the CSC has to match to get updates.
About password for secure startup, I mean, is it really necessary to set it before flashing new ROM? I must set it up?

SM-G935F Firmware for United States

Hello, I purchase a SM-G935F from a pawnshop today that was flashed with a custom ROM however it does not boot. The phone goes into download mode just fine and want to flash stock firmware but cannot find the USA version. The box came the phone and appears to be a USA version, the UPC code on the box is 8806088275123 and I check the IMEI on a website service and it came back with this model number SM-G935FZKLTTT and says it was sold in the USA. Any help from members would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance for your help.

I forgot to tell you that factory reset is required when switching from custom rom to stock rom so make sure you flash the non home CSC file and not the home_csc file.

Yes, it is in the download. When you download Samsung firmware from Sammobile or Updato website they come in a zipped file. You'll need to extract the zipped folder which will give you multiple files labelled AP, BL, CP, CSC and lastly HOME_CSC.
This is an example of what the files look like when the files are extracted from the downloaded firmware zip file:
http://prntscr.com/k07am0
The non_home csc file is used to tell the phone to wipe the user data on the phone when flashed, the home CSC is used if you don't want to wipe the user data on the phone when flashing firmware.

If you are flashing Oreo firmware which is 8.0 you need to use Odin 3.13 or newer as the older Odin software does not support flashing Oreo firmware.
The only buttons you need to click are BL, AP, CP, CSC then start and nothing else.
The default check boxes under options tab will be auto reboot and f reset time. Others should be left untouched and not checked.
You'll need to reboot download mode again which can be done by holding the download mode keys until you get that blue screen again or that it says that something ran into a problem with the blue screen which allows flashing as well.

Hello again, well I thought it worked because I got a PASS in Odin however, when the phone boots, I get a Black screen saying Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge then it goes to a blue screen with the android logo and it says erasing at the bottom for a few seconds then the screen goes black. The phone still goes into download mode however, it will not go into recover mode. Before flashing this I could get into recovery mode but would see a custom page with loading and rebooting options. Am I missing the stock boot loader? So sorry to keep bothering you about this.
