Hey guys, One of my friends S7 edge(SM-G935FD)duos unlocked bought in Australia, Probably a grey import is stuck on MM without any updates
Software update Just says no updates available. Tried connecting to Switch, still no luck finding updates.
I been reading that it could be updated through Odin. Just trying to get it updated to Oreo!
Just few questions before i proceed
1. Can Oreo be flashed directly on MM without going to Nougat?
2. Since he is using the phone in Australia can i flash SM-G935F firmware's found on this link? https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935F/XSA/
(just hoping he would get future OTA updates if i flash Australian Firmware. right?)
3. From the above link, how important is the CSC & PDA , can i just choose the latest and flash? Unlocked phone
4. any tips or guides you guys can point me towards
Thank you
sorry, anyone able answer my 1st question if possible?
is there a tg group?

As the titles says, I need the latest BL and Modem (or a link on where to get it) as I am going to install "OnTheEdge" 6.0 Beta 2 to try it out however I can't figure out how to download the BL and Modem for my specific variation and from my understanding due to canada the W8 is not compatible with the F international variation.
*Edit* - I should note I have already looked at "https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935W8/RWC/" however that only has for 6.0.1, I need the 7.0.0 correct?
*Edit 2* - Lets say I do just download the latest 6.0.1, its a large file from SamMobile, how do I get the BL and Modem flash from this?
Uploading... give me a moment
APK3 (from 6.0.1. No 7.0 CP/BL available yet for the W8 variant, but no problem with the 6.0.1 ones)

Modem https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7NTwhbole31MTFBNEh5Zi1LNzg
Thank you very much for the quick reply and for the uploaded files as well!
May I ask what you did to get those files (trying to learn all this stuff as I find the world of a rooted phone an awesome one but there is much to learn!) ?

I extracted the BL/modem from the full Generic APK3 firmware I found here a few weeks ago. I wanted the latest available modem/BL for my W8 S7 edge too, but I didn't want to subscribe to SamMobile just for that. I suggest you to keep that link, it has many up-to-date files and firmwares available for our S7 edge variant.
Having them separately is more convenient than having to download the full firmware (2GB+) though but well...
Hi guys,
Sorry if this has been asked already, did a search and nothing came up.
Is there any nougat 7.0 firmware that I can flash in Odin that will work okay with Telstra network in Australia?
I have the Nougat Beta 1 currently on there but would like the official update but it still looks like being a few months away before OTA here.
I checked Sammobile and they only list 6.0 Marshmallow updates for Aus. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks all
Anyone? Would appreciate some help Sorry for the noob question. If it's in the wrong place let me know and I'll post there. Cheers!
Telstra have the OTA coming out now if you want to be legit, otherwise I've had the XSA one on my phone since release working great
Hello everyone, i was wondering why my Nova Plus didn't get so far the update for EMUI 5.0. I saw in many other posts that other users received Nougat since Q1 2017, OTA. Since the phone doesn't seems to be widespread, i couldn't find info from other possessors about their firmwares anywhere on the net.. so here i am asking .
My phone is stock, never rooted nor unlocked, and i didn't found any recovery/ROM compatible with it here on XDA.. not to mention the warranty, which i wouldn't void until some cool Oreo firmware comes out (i wonder if it will ever happen..why such a great device comes with such few custom firmwares? ).
I even tried via HiSuite, but no updates at all. Should I try with a factory reset, or should I simply wait for an incoming OTA?
I apologize for the repeatitive thread, but you guys are great and I'm sure you'll have some good advices
Thank you

Solved through firmware finder app on the play store, updated via proxy.
Hi all,
I recently purchased a brand new, factory sealed, LG-H990DS from Amazon.com in the US. From all the documents that came with it, the unit is from LGE Singapore. However, my firmware is v10f_SEA_XX rather than an SG version (I understand Singapore versions should be _SG, correct?).
Now, I want to downgrade to an earlier security patch (Currently June 1st, 2017), so that I can root the phone and hopefully enable VoLTE (I have it in Quick Settings but it's grayed out and I can't toggle it )
I'm confused about which .kdz to use... there's a bunch of SG and TWN ones, but won't that brick my phone? I already bricked my first H918 (T-Mobile) one by somehow flashing the wrong T-Mo .kdz (in hind-sight I should have checked the md5 sum). I know H990DS is a lot harder to root than TMO so I'm kinda scared. I've rooted/flashed on many, many phones, but the H990DS seems to be the most tricky.
Thanks for your help in advance!
I've got H990DS too and managed to root it.
I am using this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/dirtysanta-h990-t3624296/.
But I've got November 2017 security patch, so I got to downgrade to earlier firmware using this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/restore-v20-to-100-stock-bricked-devices-t3524903. I use oldest firmware available, that is v10b https://lg-firmwares.com/download-file/?fileId=4345. and currently stuck here with 10b. currently figuring out how to update to the latest firmware using KdzFlasher
Hi Boxy52, I have the same phone, the KDZ file you need is (https://lg-firmwares.com/download-file/?fileId=5196) version "V10c", with this you can begin the tutorial writed of the described above by the damadikaz, after you can upgrade the firmware up to version V10h on tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/tool-kdz-writer-t3649818...
Hey damadikaz,
So to confirm - it doesn't matter which region I flash - I won't be bricked, correct? My only concern was if I flashed the wrong region. But if all H990DS firmwares work with eachother, I shouldn't have an issue other than bloat?
Thanks!

Hey pkrename,
You have the SEA firmware as well right, so I've got a question - do you have any bloat ware? Mine has none! My phone shipped with V10f_SEA_XX and I have ZERO bloatware its amazing because I've heard everyone else with SEA firmwares was stuck with a lot of bloatware. Do you think I've got some special version of the ROM? Just want to make sure that I'm indeed on the same ROM as you.
Thanks!

Hi Box, Sorry I'm late, about the firmware bloatwares, I have no problem with them ... at least in my firmware I do not have many bloatwares other than google.
For anyone wondering:
First try the TWN series of Firmware. My phone came with TWN-10C (December 1st Security Patch) so I was able to root straight out of the box. I still use the TWN firmware today (except the latest version as displayed in my signature) as this is the cleanest of Firmwares I've found so far. All I had to do was use Root Uninstaller to uninstall a few Facebook/Instagram/other apps that came with the firmware and that was it.
Secondly, the SEA/SG (South-East Asia and Singapore) firmwares are the same, as seen here
Hope this helped
Hi xda Team
I've been searching through the forum and reading just to find a bit of answer before I ask, however, the answers I've found are really limited.
Let me first off say I am a n00b....... awesome glad we are now on the same page
I have an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S8 ATT version currently on baseband G950USQU1AQEF, it only got there because I found a thread where I could manually download each update file and place it on my card and do a manual update .... now imagine having to do that for every single update... sucks huh??
The main issue is my found would not do the OTA update, it keeps saying its up to date so I am still stuck on android 7.0 when 8.0 has been out for decards
A post was made of the official firmware update .. here is the link https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s8/how-to/att-g950u-stock-odin-files-firmware-t3795961
My question is can I simple download odin and install that update without any issues??
Will it lock back my phone??
Please let me know if I can just go ahead and install it.
Thanks in advance for your answers and understanding my noobiness
Go to Updato.com and search firmware for the G950U. Sort by date and the newest will be at the top.
The latest listed is CRF5 and says Verizon. Now, since the last 7.0 firmware I believe it was, ALL carrier files are included. Meaning even though it says Verizon, you can flash it on an AT&T variant and you will have all the AT&T bloat and no VZW. I always flash the Verizon version because it gets posted the soonest, and ones officially labeled AT&T never do.
You will need the latest update file:
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=9101315B86C211E89F15FA163EE8F90B
AND the latest modded Odin to flash 8.0 files:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JMjqNxg8Y8W-Tpo9TCYIb_LL7LhhpHri/view?usp=sharing
NOTES:
-I always remove the .md5 off the end of each file just to make it flash faster.
-Home CSC will keep all your info, the NON Home CSC will do a complete wipe of your phone
On the question of "will it lock back my phone?"
No. Once the phone is unlocked, that's it. Firmware has no affect on its network lock status.
