Hi,
I recently recived my Galaxy S7 Edge after returning my Note 7 :crying: and it appears the Firmware's CSC is XSG G93FZKAXSG (UAE/AE) United Arab Emirates.
I would like to load the Offical UK Firmware XEU From Sammobile G935FXEU1BPH3
I found the Odin Guide
But Im unsure if this still is possible or if it would negitively affect the Phones OTA Updates or trigger the Knox warranty.
Any guidance offerd would be greatly apreciated,

it will not trip knox as it is a stock kernal. But OTA updates maybe effected as it is an unbranded firmware.
Hi all, I've had a look and can't seem to find anything on the forums, but if you can point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated!
I've been flashing for years but never really been in this situation, as this is the first phone I've not rooted.
So here it is:
I've a completely stock, never-rooted S7 Edge on the XEU CSC.
I'm not getting the latest update and I'd like to have it, I'm stuck on Beta 5 (I was a part of the Beta Program).
I'd like to flash the latest availiable 7.0 firmware in ODIN.
My question is:
Would I still get OTA updates AFTER I've flashed the firmware in ODIN considering my phone is COMPLETELY STOCK and has NEVER been rooted?
Thank you very much!
P.S Sorry again if I've missed something in the forums, I tried searching and couldn't find an answer.
Thank you!
Stock roms get OTA updates. Only rooting breaks that.
Yes you would continue to get OTA when flashing update via Odin.

You will get OTA updates on the XEU timeline. Your CSC is XEU and it will stay XEU if you flash Official Nougat. Hence, if BTU then get updated in the future, you will have to wait until it is released for XEU

So as long as I update to an XEU firmware I'd still get the updates? But not if I update to a BTU one?
Just clarifying.
Also, thank you for the speedy reply!
Hello,
I have a brand new S7 Edge, non-rooted. I would like to have the official Nougat, but the update by OTA ist still not available for my device. I would try it with Odin, but where can I get the official firmware (german, non-branding device (DBT?))?
Thanks for your help

So you must wait until it´s released.......or you can flash via odin the BTU(OXA) Nougat or the (german)Vodafone VD2.(if you flash the BTU(OXA_MultiCSC), you will get the active DBT CSC)(but flash the normal CSC not Home_CSC)

When you flash official Nougat, you are flashing OXA CSC. This CSC is a "multi" CSC which contains multiple CSC. This OXA CSC actually contains BTU, XEU, NEE, DBT and a few more.
If you flash a multi CSC and you are already on one of the contained CSC (So in your case, you are on XEU CSC and flashing a "multi" CSC that also contains XEU) then your CSC will not change, your phone will see that you are coming from XEU CSC and so it will pick that CSC when you flash the multi CSC.
You won't actually have BTU CSC, which means you will only receive updates when XEU CSC receives them. BTU normally receives updates before XEU so most people like to change to BTU. It isn't a must though.
So to clarify, if you flash official Nougat, you will get OTA updates when XEU CSC users receive it. If you want to CHANGE your CSC to BTU then that involves multiple flashes.

Hey,
My phone was on the XEU csc code and not getting the nougat update either. I am not rooted either. I wanted to update to nougat. So I went to sammobile and downloaded the BTU firmware. I downloaded the newest lollipop version so as to make it update to nougat ota. When flashing I read some where that to keep ota functionality not to flash csc home in odin but just the normal csc file that is inter zip folder along with the other files. Once flashed and phone had been setup, I went to settings and about phone and checked for updates, my phone then proceeded to update to nougat sucesfully.

Your welcome, just to let you know, I should of said this will completely wipe your device so do a backup of your photos and things on your phone memory and just take your sd card out to be safe.

I've applied the late January 2017 BTU update via Odin and used the regular CSC file (not home CSC) which wiped everything out and all is working well - but I would have expected the latest BTU update to have been applied OTA and it hasn't shown as available. My CSC is still showing up as XEU on the phone too which I guess is the cause for this? Did I do something wrong when applying the BTU update?

So I have the XEU and I'm prepared to flash twice in order to change the CSC. Which firmware should I first flash in order to keep the BTU CSC when I flash that secondly?

You flash anything that is not a part of the OXA CSC
After that, if you flash OXA you will be BTU
I got a UAE S7 edge off of amazon about a week ago. Not rooted, running latest OS nougat version available. CSC code is XSG. I just can't get Samsung Pay working on it though. I read from a few places that it is possible to install the framework and samsung pay apk's. I installed the version 2.7.38 framework. I first tried the 2.6.00 version of the Samsung Pay app, but had no luck as I couldn't get past the first screen. I then tried 2.7.46. It managed to load in, but failed because I don't have a Korean sim card in my phone? Can someone please explain to me what I'm screwing up? Or if I can somehow disable this pop-up?
Download XSA (Australia) firmware and flash it in Odin, Australian firmware has it preloaded and working. XSA also has Nougat so you're good.

Will flashing it trip the Knox? I remember rooting/flashing roms into my old note 5 and tripping the Knox that way.

If you flash firmware directly from Samsung then no, since the firmware is official and signed by Samsung. If you flash anything Custom such as a custom ROM or Kernel, then yes.
Just download the firmware from Sammobile (Ofiicial Samsung) and flash it via Odin. Knox will not trip.

Find a firmware without a multi CSC I believe XSA and UK carrier firmwares all are like this.. Check the repartition box. Flash and don't use the Home CSC. Let the phone boot and then flash your multi CSC firmware. That is how I have gotten around it my S7 edge when I was trying to make Samsung Pay work.

Hey thanks for the quick reply. So just confirming before I start, you reckon below are the steps I should take?
1) Flash with a non multi-csc firmware, such as the Australian XSA (check the repartition box, and don't use HOME_CSC)
2) Reboot, then flash again with a multi-csc firmware, such as the Netherland PHN firmware.
And, when flashing do I pick all 4 files in Odin (BL, CP, AP, CSC)?
Thanks for your help.

If you want Samsung Pay works in the USA also then just flash XSA with all the files and don't use home csc and your done.
The only time I had issues is when you want to switch from a multi csc to another multi csc. Example German csc to UK csc because they use the same firmware. That is when I flashed a fixed csc then flashed a multi csc. So I could get the specific csc to work on my phone. Supposedly you can do it differently through the dialer I think. It never worked for me.
I have my s8 and my gf's s7 edge both on XSA because Samsung pay and white pages both work. Only downside is you get updates a month later then BTU.
I hope that makes sense if not pm me.
Thank you. It works as you said.
I need a stock BTU firmware for my SM-G930F S7 as the place i bought it from(mobiles.co.uk)screwed me over and gave me a firmware with a verizon us csc.It even thinks the GPU is an Adreno,when it is actually a Mali,which is why I want the stock UK Firmware.

Well,I have the firmware now.But should I take the risk and flash it with ODIN or not.Also,in CSC in Odin,do you put the HOME_CSC there or the CSC?
CSC wipes your data; HOME_CSC does not.

Cool,so I'd use home csc so I don't lose my data.But I've heard from some people that they lost their IMEI when they used a different CSC.
CSC won't affect your IMEI, just don't tick anything extra in Odin as that's usually what breaks IMEI etc. Leave it all default.
