[Q] 900F Vodafone Germany rom to UK stock unbranded

Will it break OTA and Kies firmware recognition and updates after flashing from a stock German Vodafone carrier rom G900FXXU1BNL9 to UK unbranded G900FXXU1BOD3?
I've had that issue with an S1 before, but it didn't really matter as it was out of warranty.
EDIT: I think I have a semi answer if I change the CSC via the rom as I did with my S1 it disables OTA and Kies, but is it fully restored when the original CSC is restored?

Debrand Swedish SM-928F

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.

Latest Nougat Firmware - Manual Install (Odin)

Hello folks,
I would like to update my S7 Edge (SM-G935F) to the latest Nougat firmware which if I'm not mistaken arrived UK BTU, which is:
PDA - G935FXXU1DQB3
CSC - G935FOXA1DQB1
I would like to install it via Odin, the most stock way possible (don't want root or custom recovery), just because that I'm tired that it haven't arrived OTA in my country (PT).
But I have a few questions regarding this manually update to the latest firmware of another country:
1) Manually installing the latest update from BTU UK will stop me from receiving future OTA updates? and if no, will I be receiving the OTA updates in the future from UK or PT??
2) My device with the currently firmware has no bloatware from any network (was bought unlocked), if I upgrade to the latest firmware from BTU UK, will I still have no bloatware? (or bloat will be installed?)
3) Will I have any problem from installing a firmware from other country (being both for the same model: SM-G935F)?
Thank you very much in advance! :good:
I have everything ready to make the manual flash, just want to clear this things out before I do it.
Thanks

Each country or region has it's own CSC which can be easily flashed
by itself without the need to odin flash a different country's full firmware.
The only time you need to think about bloatware is if you flash a specific
carrier's firmware like perhaps vodaphone and most other carriers add
their own bloatwares. But if you only flash the regional firmware for your
country or region like BTU UK you will not end up with bloatware.
Good luck and happy flashing!

Future OTA's will not be a problem if you have flashed
the proper CSC for your country before trying to update
future firmwares.

So you are saying that first I should change my CSC to the UK, then flash the latest firmware via Odin and won't have to worry about future updates? Can't I simply flash the latest UK BTU firmware and it will change the CSC and get me the latest firmware in once?
