Hello everyone. I got my S7 Edge from the USA years ago, but have now moved out of the country. I had the phone unlocked before I left the states and now I'm wondering - would it re-lock if I update it to Oreo through Odin or would I be fine? Not really sure how it works. Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I'm new to Android so please forgive my ignorance. I have a T-Mobile S6 edge plus and I want to replace the software with the canadian Rogers variant. Is this even possible? I know that the stock fw for G928W8 is not yet available, but when it'll be, could it be installed on a t-mobile phone? I mention that the phone is rooted and unlocked and it works perfect on Rogers.
thanks!
Hi all,
Just wondering if someone has any information on nougat updates for unlocked S7 edge devices in Canada. I bought the phone unlocked, not any cell carriers. I recently learned that Rogers, Bell and Telus all got their update. That is why I was wondering where is mine.
Any information is helpful.
Thanks

If your csc code is xac then its already out, was released on the 21st. Bell/wind got it first on the 13th or so, roger/telus/xac got it around the 20th, there's no reason you shouldn't have it.

you should get the update unless your phone was customized in some way not to receive OTA's.
You can get the update from sammobile and flash it yourself.
Thanks, wasn't aware of the "Smart Switch" software. Downloading the update as we speak.
Thanks

Hi, I have bought an unlocked Samsung galaxy s7 edge (AT&T branded G935A). I'm using a UK sim and it's working fine. Only issue is I'm still stuck on Android 6 and each time I go to search for update it says my phone has the latest update. I want to know if I can safely flash the firmware to a UK unlocked firmware or even the US unlocked firmware?.. I don't care if I lose the AT&T items from the phone. Actually if I can lose those things the better. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
You should be able to do this, as I've an AT&T S7 Edge phone unlocked for international use, and I've flashed things over and over without losing the unlocking
That's great, would it be possible to tell me which firmware you flashed it and a link if you have it. Much appreciated and thanks in advance. Did you flash it with the us unlocked firmware or international one. I want to flash it with UK unlocked firmware..

I flashed with the unlocked US firmware (U firmware) and it worked fine, flashing international won't work sadly. But using the U firmware should work fine, I have no link at the moment, but I'll search the threads and see if I get you one

Here you go, it seems you'd be able to receive ota's with this as well
Thanks a lot. Much appreciated

Hey guys, Just wanted to get an idea or two about flashing firmware. I'm from the Philippines and I recently bought a 2nd-hand Galaxy S8 (G950FD) Carrier Locked (Smart). And while looking on Sammobile site, I saw an "Openline" Firmware. My question is that If I was to flash the Openline firmware with Odin would It become an Unlocked Model? I've researched about it and haven't stumbled upon a clear answer. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank You!

Hello, I am really sorry but I am a newbie and know nothing about flashing Roms.
All I am trying to understand is:
Is it possible to flash the 'unbranded' rom on my EE branded S7 Edge (935F)
Any help much appreciated. A yes or no would help me!
Many thanks
