Someone please give me clear answers for my new phone? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I bought G935FD from Amazon 3 weeks ago- it's unlocked and carrier-free. I've been using it out of the box, no root. Some parts of the box was typed in Arabic indicating it's from/for UAE.
I live in US and have been using MetroPCS (uses T-mobile network). It seems to work flawlessly.
1. Will I get OTA updates? I doubt MetroPCS will do it for this international version from UAE.
2. If above is no, what's the best way to get the latest updates / how do I know my phone has the latest version?
3. What are CSC and PDA?
4. I came across this link: Which country is best for me living in US? Should I continue to use the stock UAE it came with? Any advantage for other countries? (some countries get latest updates faster?)
As for updating FW- a step-by-step guide is appreciated. I've been reading up, and it involves using Odin, but there seems to be tons of different country/region versions for G935FD- and I get concerned about bricking my phone or messing it up.
So many questions.

1. You should get OTA updates. They will come from Samsung and not your carrier.
3. CSC is your region and or carrier code that identifies your Samsung firmware.
4. OJV may not update as often as the other UAE firmware (XSG). A lot of Americans run XSG or Spanish AMO. If ya need help. You can PM me and I'll help get ya sorted.

1. So why XSG or AMO for G935FD users in US over hundreds of other countries? What's makes those two compatible? If I use other countries, what happens to the phone?
2. Which one do you use?
3. This is bit of a different topic, does your phone suffer from Media Server battery drain? Mine does and that's what prompted me to update my phone hoping there's a fix out (deleting/backing up pics help, but it reoccurs)

Most people use those firmwares over others because they support Samsung pay. I personally use AMO because it has the add benefit of wifi calling and and white pages. As for the battery drain issue. You shouldn't be having that issue. I know I don't experience that issue with AMO. It could be a problem that was fixed in a later patch.

Then I'll give AMO a go, that's this one right?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/88307/G935FXXU1APGS_G935FAMO1APEK_AMO/
Install Odin and follow the instructions on that link? Will it wipe my phone/settings? Any other special instructions or cautions?

That's the correct one. Since you're switching firmwares use the AMO_CSC file rather than the Home_CSC file. That way it'll wipe your phone clean. Make sure youve got security PIN setup because you'll be asked for it after reset. Other than that. Just follow the instructions and it'll be smooth sailing.

Thanks. I'm learning a lot here. Getting ready to do it now. More Qs:
1. So with AMO, I can now use Samsung Pay? Is this the correct version for my phone? I presume this is not available on Google Play because it bypasses Samsung bloat if done through the phone? (if so, I need to manually update this app as new versions get released?)
2. Will wifi calling also work too as MetroPCS supports too right? (it did for my previous phone on MetroPCS)
3. This G935F firmware should work flawlessly despite my phone being G935FD right? I think I read this, just making sure.
4. How does whitepages work- AMO comes with it or do I need to download White Pages app?

You'll need to install the Samsung pay framework and Samsung pay app in that order from APK mirror website. Just read the description for the app before you download to be sure its the US version and it's compatible with the frame work. In order to make white pages work you'll need to enable it from the Phone app settings. G935F works with FD.

Quick Confirmation Required

I have just received a new Tmobile Galaxy SII with the following info:
model gt-i9100
android 2.3.3
baseband i9100bokg1
build gingerbread.bokg2
I want to debrand it and put the latest stock firmware on it. I am planning to do the following but would just like it if some, more knowledgeable person can confirm it is correct. I am just getting a bit confused with all the talk of Frankensteins and CSCs etc;!
1. Download and install Kies to get USB drivers working
2. Download Odin V1.83
3. Download XXKI3 (Android 2.3.5) - which says it is original (unmodified) Wipe Package with new bootloader has: PDA: XXKI3| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: OXAKI3. Is this the right one and the latest?
4. Phone to download mode, run Odin, add XXKI3 as PDA and click Start.
Job done. Is the above all correct?
Many thanks. I have searched the forums I promised but I am getting truly lost!
Where did you get that version info? The T-Mobile-branded GS2 should be T989, not I9100. The I9100 is the original, non-US version and doesn't support AWS bands, so you can only get EDGE speeds on T-Mo. If you have a T989 and you try to flash I9100 components you won't like the results, since the phones are basically unrelated aside from the name.
If you bought it from a T-Mo store/reseller, go here. If you actually have the international version (Settings->About Phone->Model number would be GT-I9100), then you've basically got the right idea, though I think KJ3 is the latest. If it's too confusing, you should also be able to update through Kies, which is Samsung's official support software.

OP has location Cheltenham and a British flag, would be a fair assumption to say he's on T-Mobile UK (EverythingEverywhere, or whatever they're called now), so I9100, nothing to do with the US.
Thanks for your reply. Sorry if I misled - I'm in the UK and its the normal Galaxy 2 just sold through the TMobile carrier so it has a few Tmobile odds and sods lying around (like web n walk browser etc. I saw that KJ3 is the latest so am downloading that (normal link not the "stock kernel" link) and will flash later.
Thanks again.

Identify unsaved number (inbuilt feature)

If you head over to advanced features in settings
Or the phone app and setting.
You can enable a feature that will detect unwanted calls.
As it's built into the dialer it's a nice integration.
After recently updating my Rom this feature has now disappeared.
Just wondering if anyone still has this option.
Am wondering if there is any way to re-enable this.
Or if it's been removed from the Rom all together

I think the OP just hasn't updated his sig. He's clearly asking about the S7 feature.
OP: what carrier? My Sprint version still has the feature. The option is under Settings / Advanced features.
My T-Mobile variant had it and once the first ota came out it vanished. They will not add it back. I've been trying them for two weeks now.

Can you confirm your ROM Version.
I have now rolled back to the previous version of the ROM.
I am going to have a go at extracting this, But i wont be able to test it.
Do you mind me providing you a set of files to test when i do this?
I was not happy i lost this feature, And i will bring it back ))
Looking at it, its part of the DIaler, So first and most.
What's your Dialer version number?

Anyone here from Australia? w/ Root and latest firmware.

Im in Perth and my S7 Edge is rooted while using the German Firmware APD1.
Thats it, no Xposed or any other modification.
When I launch my NAB bank app, its just black screen, can anyone else try? Im trying to find out if its the firmware or just NAB itself.
thanks
Banking apps sometimes dont work with root. Root cloak for xposed may help

Latest firmware is not out for Australia yet. I keep checking Sammobile every day for it. It shouldn't be too long now before they release it.
Does it matter which carrier your on. As optus vs Telstra vs the rest... When we get the updates of the ota, what's good about Sammobile?
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
nevermind, I just checked the Play Store link for NAB,
people are complaining about it. Seems the app is not compatible with the April Update of Android.
I had root on my S7 Edge when I was in February 1 Update and the NAP app works. it stopped when I updated to April 1

Flashing unbranded or another country firmware means you'll lose VoLTE. Might not be an issue for many people, just thought I'd mention it.

whats VoLTE? is the LTE?
LTE/4G is working fine
EDIT!, just looked it up its Voice Over LTE, It seems to be a rare thing to have in Australia, only one telco has it and im not with them.
EDIT2: hey mate your from here too!, Telstra offers them to some few places, im with Optus
Telco devices in Australia are on the Feb patch, unbranded has March.
I debranded my phone with Aus fw, no root. This means Samsung Pay should work when it comes out here.
I like the firmware but not willing to root/cfw as yet... Kind of like being on a standard rom. Everything works as expected! Plus I'm sick of the setup process starting from scratch.. Does unbrandeding, root, new firmware loose all settings?

You don't get root, so warranty is not affected, but you start from scratch.

Yes, you loose all settings (just like new device), you start from scratch, Knox will be tripped if you root (warranty now voided), but you get the latest security patches and device updates,
Also de-branding and rooting it removes carrier bloatware and unlocks your device.
Got a new Nexus 5X yesterday and unlocked it before I got going. After installing all the security updates I installed the NAB app to find I also get the black screen. Was wondering if it was something to do with rooting etc but if you guys are having the same issue after the recent security updates would that be a more likely cause?

I think he's referring to the US snapdragon models.
Yep, US Snapdragon S8+ for Sprint has been released. Finally a Snapdragon model! Maybe the rest of the models will follow. Not published on Sammobile yet but by using the SamFirm.exe, I was able to download Android Pie for the S8+ (Sprint version).
Just flashed the Sprint Pie firmware onto my TMobile phone (Odin). Everything seems to be working so far.

This can help others who do not want the receive the updated Interface / Android 9.0 Pie
under Settings >>> Developer Options >>> Auto Update System has been disabled.

This is the best option to prevent over night mandatory firmware updates that were common in the past.

SM-G975U1 compatible One UI 2 beta update

Does anyone have an ODIN compatible update for the One UI 2 beta that would work for the US factory unlocked S10+ (SM-G975U1)? I saw a T-Mobile only update.zip, but that only works on T-Mobile locked ones.

Not familiar with the term "OYN multi-csc", however I can and have flashed different carrier ODIN packages onto my US Unlocked S10+. I assume that means mine is apart of the multi-csc. Mine is "VZW/VZW/XAA", a factory unlocked s10+ bought from Samsung's website with a Verizon SIM in it.

If I'm currently on G975U1ES2BSIE, I assume I can't just flash that update.zip file because it says you must be coming from BSI4. Is it safe to ODIN flash the BSI4 version and then recovery flash the update.zip? Also, in a screenshot on the update.zip thread, it said the source version was G975USQS2BSI4, yet the firmware I have been using has always started with G975U1..., so can I even use the update.zip at all?

You would have to flash BSI4 U firmware via odin first then update zip after full boot. U1 beta has been delayed now untill who knows when. So basically we're stuck with bloat if we want the beta until further notice.

Thank you for reminding me about the bloat from U firmware.... ewww.... Will definitely hold out until more information about the U1 beta comes out, especially considering that someone will likely release the update.zip for it, rendering their limited beta unlimited.
I'm curious about this as well. Didn't the release the u1 beta yesterday? If so does anyone have the update.zip we could apply locally?

Hmm so I'm not able to grab it while on BSIC; any chance you have the update.zip file
I have the U1 (512 unlocked Snapdragon). I flashed the T-Mobile U image (downloaded using Frija, then flashed with Odin), and then saved the ota zip to an SD card and flashed that update via recovery. Haven't had any issues, yet. While I'm not a fan of the T-Mobile boot screen and default ringtone, the only bloat I've identified is the Name ID, T-Mobile, and Visual Voicemail apps, which all appear to be uninstallable. It also added the video call function to my dialer, which I'll probably never use but it's neat that it exists...
I say all that because you could just install the T-Mo firmware to your VZW phone and get away with a updating to the beta and uninstalling the bloatware, if you're ok with having the T-Mobile boot screen (ideally, you won't see it much anyways).
Just a thought.

Let me get home tonight and I'll extract it
The U1 version of the oneui 2.0 beta was released yesterday and apparently still being released for many users hopefully someone has the logics to make the update zip out of it and pass it along. Not everyone wants to go through completely wiping their phone and swapping unlocked firmware for a carrier one just to test the beta.

That's not how it works. You won't have tmobile bloat. The firmwares now are all inclusive so it will install bloat depending on your installed sim card. Example, I installed it on my AT&T S10+ and got AT&T bloat. If you install on your tmobile S10, you'll have tmobile bloat.

Assuming that's the case, why not just do the entire install and setup without a SIM, then plug the SIM in after it's complete?
I used that trick on the VZW Pixel and Pixel 2 and was able to avoid them force-locking the bootloader.

Between here and Reddit it's been asked several times if that works and there hasn't been a real answer yet. Yes though, that is the case. It's been that way since one of the major updates on the S8 firmware back when it was still a flagship. The bloat and carrier files it installs are carrier dependent. That's why the total download size of firmware went way up.

Im thinking thats why I wasn't ever able to join the beta. Downloading BSIC now and hopefully installing that will make it possible to officially join the U1 beta. After going back to U firmware i remember all the things that made me switch back to U1 last time lol.

Why are there separate S10+ firmware downloads for AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon which have different Home_CSC partitions if the Samsung firmware works like you say? Shouldn't all the Samsung S10+ firmware be U1 (the firmware that comes installed on the carrier free version of the S10+) if the carrier bloat is installed via the inserted SIM?
