Question about Australian Firmware. - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello. Im new to the S7 Edge forum coming from a note 4. Im on Puerto Rico (PCT) firmware G935FXXU1BPH1. I saw theres a new Australian firmware on sammobile G935FXXS1BPJ8. I was wondering If someone has tried it out and if theres any diference or changelog available. Ive read that some firmwares removes Volte. Would it be safe to flash it on my model. thanks in advance!

I am on Australian FW BPI6 .... Standard retail version with Sept security... No other updates... It could just be a carrier update??

It was updated for the Vodafone version of the phone.

Does Samsung Pay work on the S7 Edge international (G935F) with Puerto Rico (PCT) CSC?

You need your own carrier's CSC to be able to have VoLTE.

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

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?

Installing different firmware version on Galaxy S7 Edge

I currently own an Australian Optus carrier variant of Galaxy S7 Edge (OPS) and want to install an Australian unlocked variant of Galaxy S7 Edge (XSA) since unlocked variant has recieved 2 updates since its launch but carrier variant has received none..
1. So my question is will this trip my KNOX Warranty and will it disable my Samsung Pay app use?
2. Also, if I install another country's Galaxy S7 Edge firmware that has the same model number, will this trip my KNOX Warranty and disable Samsung Pay Use?
3. Which country (code) receives the fastest new updates for the device SM-G935F?
4. Lastly, can I install a Galaxy S7 Edge firmware with a different model number? I want to try South Korean variant firmware..
You can flash any official Samsung firmware, and it won't trip Knox.
Someone else asked this earlier today: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/to-flash-generic-australian-rom-to-t3364559
Also, Samsung Pay isn't in Australia yet, and won't be for some time.
The Aussie carrier devices should get the latest update soon hopefully.

Thank you for your reply. Just one more question! I heard that if a phone is rooted, Samsung Pay app is not usable on that device afterwards so will it be the same for installing the other firmware? I know that Samsung Pay is not yet available in Australia but I would like to use it when it's launched.
Correct. Samsung Pay won't work on a rooted device.
Also, if you root, you will trip Knox. You can't use Samsung Pay on a Knox tripped device.
Even if you go back and flash stock firmware, this will not reverse Knox. This is permanent.
But if you just flash Samsung unbranded firmware over your Optus firmware, this is ok. Samsung Pay will still work.
Just to clear up something else, does your handset need to be unlocked before you can flash another official samsung firmware?

Change G935V firmware to G935F Telcel Mexico

Hi . Can someone help ? What happends to my S7 edge verizon phone if i change the firmware for the g935F (i think is the international and exynox processor) and download the Telcel (mexico) rom in sammobile.com ? , Im living now in Mexico with this verizon phone , its already unlocked and working fine with Telcel carrier here but i want their firmware too. thanks
You can't since it's a different chip. What you can do is flash the 935U firmware though. It won't be carrier firmware though, it's pretty much just a stock Samsung firmware for the Snapdragon variant.

INS ROM for SM-G935F?

Does the Indian version of the ROM for International S7 Edge exists? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Read a post that said I can use a INS rom for SM-G935FD. Is it risk free? No bricking and stuff? Does that mean I can use a second Sim Card if I flash a G935FD ROM? I am currently on XSA (Australian) Firmware because of Whitepages and Samsung Pay. Is it worth flashing? Plan to return to USA after a month and wanted to know a better alternative to the XSA firmware that works well with USA carriers.

TGY Updates?

Hi people! I was wondering, does anyone knows what's happening with monthly updates for the TGY (Hong Kong) variants? On samfrew.com, all variants have had the April update, including CHC (China), but none of the TGY variants have had it. Was an update not necessary for the HK variants? Or is Samsung neglecting TGY?
Same for btu UK unlocked ! all carrier locked have had April update but not unlocked variant that doesn't have to pass through network first , joke really
