Italian TIM branded Galaxy S8 Question - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello guys i have option to buy Galaxy S8 (Samsung Galaxy S8 G950F ). I was told on chat support on that shop that it has TIM branding when it turns on and off. Other than that would be there any other restrictions? (Device is SIM FREE).
Will i be able to flash global clean rom with OTA updates?
Thank you for quick replay in advance i need it because i need to make my purchase quickly

Cmon guys any help? Any experience with branded S8 ?

Yes, I have the same flashed with h3g in UK without problem and now have volte and WiFi calling.

Did you flash is using HomeCSC which doesn't wipe data or the regular CSC which does.

Regular CSC - no data to lose on a new phone

Just downloaded the firmware from your link.
This is the first time I am flashing. Do you have to load all 4 files the BL, AP, CP and CSC into Odin then flash?

List of Firmware that Supports Built-In "Whitepages"?

I was wondering if anybody knew of a list that shows all the firmware that supports built-in White Pages? My Kenyan Firmware seems to not have the feature, it only shows the state in which the call originated from and not the city or any other information.

Spain AMO also has it. All other regions locked this feature from T-Mobile SIMs in the US, but AMO doesn't. ?

I barely started using this firmware since its last update but I'd assume so as it was the first to have the June security patch.

Do I need to do anything different when I flash a new firmware with a different CSC from my original?

I recommend backing up and wiping when you flash it. I've had issues with my external sdcard.

Samsung Pay not available in Samsung S7 Edge

Ok, so I have a Galaxy S7 Edge, model G935F and unrooted, and I can't use Samsung Pay on it. It's nowhere in my apps and when I use Google Play on my browser it says it's not available in any of my devices. Does anyone know how can I use it ? Also, I have the latest firmware installed.
All depends on which region you are you using boss. S-Pay is in select countries at the moment, so depending on if you have that region it'll show up on your device. Spain/USA/China/Korea/Singapore/Australia.
Brazil. And yes, it's available here .

It's on France CSC and it's XEF.(I bought it there). Maybe that's why I can't download SPay?

Yeah, you need to be running a ROM that supports it. Brazil's ROM does so just flash that one. I believe it's ZTO.

you will still have that simcard manager thing. like I said they both use the exact same firmware. only on custom roms sometimes the creator removes that manager thing because he assumes no one with a fd will use his rom. but official roms always have it.

You can download from Samfirmware at full speed using Samfirm 0.3.6 with no login needed. Search for it on XDA.

Nope, it doesn't work. You just need to wait for your carrier to update to nougat for VoLTE etc.

Could you also say what is the purpose of the userdata? I have never flashed it in any update so curious as to its function?
