Hi,
i have purchased the Samsung galaxy S8 SM-G950FD from Dubai, since i will be using the phone in India i have flashed the phone with official stock firmware . now my question is will i received the OTA updates as usual or i have to keep on updating the phones manually. also when i use the smart switch my phones shows firmware updated. but recently on the July 16th there was new firnware which i have not received. Could anyone guide what should i do as i am concerned. also how can i do the master reset . (the same csc and firmware as it came from out of the box )

What is the recommended stock firmware if your original region firmware has no update

My Galaxy Note 3 is an N9005 (LTE capable) phone and the firmware for my region (Philippines) has stopped its updates since 11/19/2015, I see that UAE has its firmware dated 06/30/2016 and thats pretty recent, will it be okay for my device to use a UAE firmware ? or is there a suggested firmware that works 'globally' ?
Choose one for your network .
But what do you expect to update to ??or even want to update to as 5.0 is the latest .
If you want the latest security updates for your stock 5.0 you can try this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-qs-n9005-lp-t3037655
If you want MM there are s7/n5 ports and cm13 roms here on the forums.

Galaxy s7 edge stock firmware from sammobile - a few questions.

Hi,
I bought my S7 edge form Portugal, the phone is factory unlocked.
Now I'm back in my country and I thought I should download from sammobile the official firmware of my carrier provider or the global version.
I'm not sure if I'll still receive OTA updates if I flash the firmware with ODIN, and if that's the case, please tell me if there's any other methods to flash the baseband without causing updates issues in the future.
I want to update the fw because Volte doesn't work.
Another question, I don't have a PC, so I was wandering if I can install Odin on Mac or in VmWare?

My S4 wont update pls help

I had s4(4.4.2) rooted now I have completely removed the root by flashing stock firmware which I got from this post. I downloaded the turkey 4.4.2 listed under GT-I9500 firmwares although I am in india. Now when I try to update trough settings > software update, I I get msg "The latest updates have already been installed.". So is it happening because I flashed turkey's firmware, pls help me how to get lollipop update.
Flash India (INU) or India (INS) firmware. Either should work, but using the INS CSC is probably best, as that apparently is for unlocked devices. The reason you're not getting an update is the phone is not in the same region as the firmware installed on it.
Stock firmware for the gt-i9500 is here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9500/INS/
@audit13: Already covered that.
My bad, I didn't click on the links

S7 Edge New Nougat Update

Helo Members!
i purchased S7 edge Sm-G935FD a month ago with currently installed firmware 6.0.1 and now i want to update it to Nougat 7.
please help me how can i chose correct official firmware for s7 edge because no OTA update available in my country ( Pakistan) and very confused and dnt know how to chose firmware Baseband /csc/etc.
i manually check on sammobile there are only 2 country listed with Nougat INDIA and Russia.
Hey,
So I too have an S7 Edge in India. The firmware's country doesn't make a difference so you can choose any country's firmware for your specific device. However, make sure it's for your carrier. You can go to www.sammobile.com and download the firmware. Then use ODIN to flash it to your phone
Hope this helped!

Missing firmware for SM-J510FN

Hi
My device (Galaxy J5 2016) has recieved the update to Nougat 7.1.1 over an year ago, but I can't appear to be able to check for OTA updates- so I've attempted to look up the firmware online.
Apparently, the FN model is not officialy supported by Samsung for region ILO, so I can't find it's updated firmware anywhere and I oddly enough also can't find the firmware I currently have on this device, so I can't do anything (Also attempted Samsung support.. they can't help me.)
The device is currently on Marshmellow 6.0.1
the CSC is J510FOJK1APE3
AP: J510FNXXU2APK6
CP: J510FNXXU2APK6 (the same as AP)
Model: SM-J510FN
I want to stay using official firmware, avoid tripping KNOX and safely install this update without having to do a factory reset as I'd expect by upgrading a device to a correct firmware. What can I do?

There doesn't seem to be Firmware anywhere for the J510FN for Israel.There are plenty firmwares for J510F for Israel but not FN that I can see anywhere just as you said in the post.

Am I able to somehow modify the CSC in the firmware to match mine, so I won't have to factory reset / wipe and install it just as it's supposed to be officialy? I find it rather odd I do have a firmware with a CSC that isn't even supported for my device and yet KNOX is untripped and the firmware status is official.
