Hi guys.
I have an 128gb S6 SM-G920i on 5.1.1 Australia Vodafone, baseband G920IDVU3DOL4 and I would like to get a 6.0.1 FW from Sammy (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G920I/).
I am using the phone in Ireland so I could not find an Irish or UK 6.0.1 FW to put on it. Loads of other 6.0.1 like Brazil, Chile, India, etc but I'm not sure what effect that will have if I install those.
Any suggestions on how I can get 6.0.1 on my S6 or do I need to wait for Samsung?
I have my s6 from Brazil that came to me with ZTO 5.11 . First I flashed inu 5.1.1 after that I got Ota for inu 6.0.1 and I did the update with no issues at all.
Now I flashed TTT because inu was a bit laggy. Not happy with battery at TTT tomorrow will flash ARO.
So I think you're safe to flash the firmware you want. But check first if is the correct model firmware

So as long as it is a 6.0.1 FW of the G920i model it should be ok regardless of country?
Yes at least in my case I flashed several Different fw no matter country or csc

Awesome, my concern was that if I flash let's say the Brazil FW it won't have English menus. Is that a possibility?

The language depends on which one you choose after installing. Some firmwares have all languages and some have a few.
But all them have English. After flashing firmware , the phone boot and you have to set the language, accounts, fingerprints etc
Then everything on menus will show the language you've chosen

Nice.
And will I need to reinstall all apps or will all data still be there after upgrade?

You can make a backup of all you want with an application call smart switch you should install it on the pc.
Then make a factory reset. Flash the firmware and if you can make a factory reset again
The restore everything with smart switch

As long as its called N8000 its the same device where ever it come from. but if its called N8000T for example then its not the same. I flashed firmwares from China, India, Philipines, Germany, Sweden and so on. I even flashed thoose carrier firmwares and as long as its a N8000 firmware its ok.
good luck

Hi all, ive been meaning to try other stock firmwares but the only firmware that my phone recognizes is the MG9 version from TTT. Ive tried my previous firmwares and the newest ones from India and Thailand but its not working because my imei gets messed up. My phone originally came from South Africa.
Has someone experienced the same thing before? Were you able to fix it? Pls help. Thanks!

Simply flash the mg9 modem through odin or cwm after you flash a different firmware. You can find both .tar(odin) or .zip(cwm) files in the development section. It will fix the imei.
Cheers!!

Wow great ill do that later. Although I havent needed to do that before until I flashed this TTT firmware.
Gs3 has the same problem after flashing latest firmware, it changes efs consistency. Not a big problem if you stay on the latest modem.

I am late to join galaxy s7, just recently got one on eBay. UK Vodafone locked. I had it unlocked couple of days ago. Expecting it to receive nougat ota. But nothing has happened yet. When will I get that? I want to try out nougat then decide whether to root.
Removing the network lock won't have any affect on which firmware your phone has, only that you can now use it on any network & so as is you would be waiting for Vodafone to release a VOD version of Nougat.
AFAIK There is only a BTU/Samsung generic version of Nougat available in the UK on the S7 right now so if you wanted it sooner you could flash to BTU.

Thanks, Do I still need to root to flash the generic rom?
The update is available in India now! I have updated my S7 to Nougat VIA OTa

Root is never needed to flash ROMs

No, just need to flash the appropriate files with ODIN.

Just confirmed with someone from work that his unlocked (when bought) phone also hasn't got nougat ota update. Just wondering anyone here from uk who actually got the update?

Does flashing to a different rom, albeit a factory one, void warranty, trip knox or stop OTA updates? I recently bought a Galaxy S7 with Vodafone Spain (ATL) firmware (i don't live in Spain btw, I bought it from a store) and I'd like to flash the unlocked UK rom (BTU), so I can get Nougat, but i don't want to void my warranty.

Did they buy their phone from Carphone Warehouse? Only if so they're probably on XEU rather than BTU.

Im here waiting too. Unlocked UK and was on Beta updates. Feel like I've been forgot. Question is, can i flash the new BTU files without a wipe?

Yes, that is XEU. I read about the XEU firmware on a forum somewhere, he hasn't gotten the update yet. BTU is the unlocked UK firmware and the Nougat update for that is out.

Indeed that's XEU (as the previous poster said)
XEU & BTU seem to both be the same but they have different CSCs which would explain why you're not getting the update as it's not out for XEU yet.

Flashing a stock ROM eg from SamMobile won't trip Knox. Only customs ROMs & rooting do that. OTA updates should work fine if the right flashing procedure is followed.

Thanks a lot, I was getting frustrated because I don't want my firmware to have anything to do with any carrier. Do you happen to know if there is a chance that Samsung's service can see that the BTU CSC is not the phone's original CSC and decline a warranty claim?
Sent from my SM-G930F using XDA Labs
When are we going to get it?! I'm from the UK with an unlocked S7 flat, bought from Carphone. And of course it's with XEU.

You could run into problems there if you needed to send the phone in for repair if the firmware is checked by the retailer or whoever they send their phones off for repair to. Personally would just flash it back to the original CSC before sending it off. Both CSCs would need to be on the same Android version though as from what I remember reading flashing an Android downgrade can brick your phone. I did read elsewhere someone managed to flash back to Marshmallow from Nougat as VoLTE wasn't working in Nougat as it turned out both were using the same boat loader but that's the only case like that I recall.
From experience Samsung's Smartswitch software doesn't look your phone up to establish which firmware it should have. It just goes on the current CSC if you were eg. to do an emergency firmware initialisation.

Oh, I see. If I flash back to my original CSC before handing it over, albeit both on the same version, is there a chance they might not notice? Thanks a lot btw.

Flash the firmware from on SamMobile it's probably better than upgrading via OTA as well.

I want unroot my J7 2015 that came already booted that i bought months ago, i've been wanting to update for a while since im stuck on 5.1

Hi.
Hi. Install this app and see if you have multiple (compatible) CSC
I.e. country codes
Samsung Phone Info on playstore
Then you an check here

Original country code: XSG
Firmwares CSG code: TGY
Active CSC code: XSG / TGY
XSG is UAE United Arab Emirates. Download from Www.updato.com, it's speedy

As long as its XGS i will be able to flash it succesfully right?

I can't find my exact USB drivers on the samsung website, is there any specific i should look for?
Go to www.sammobile.com click on firmware.

I said USB drivers, not phone firmware.
Sorry, my memory served me wrong. At sammobile you get Odin (not usb drivers) as well as the firmware.
I don't remember where I got mine ?. Maybe my windows 7 just got them from the net???
I believe SmartSwitch can get you the drivers. Otherwise Google is your friend.
But if Odin can recognize your fon in download mode you're good to go

i saw on sammobile that pie is out for my phone but for ukraine my device is from the UAE would it differ if i flashed it through odin ? or should i wait for OTA
Suggestion for Update of J600F
I updated my J600F using firmware on Sammobile site, it was great but had a battery bug, so I reverted back to 8.0, but another update is released now and I hope a couple of bugs should have been fixed by now, so there is no issue in trying, and it's official too.

If your device is an international device, it might work. If it doesn't, just flash back to what you had before.
