I purchased the S7 G930F and it was installed with Panama firmware (TPA), using Odin and sammobile I installed United Kingdom BTU because it had received the March security patch. Is there any particular firmware that is best for using in the U.S. on at&t/cricket wireless?

No not really. I flashed the UK firmware too and I'm on AT&T. Phone came with a firmware from Kenya. There's no best firmware.

Yup there is no best firmware... I'm also using the 935F in the US... I usually flash the BTU firmware on my international phones but might try the latest for NEE... As long as it has English and no bloat ware it shouldn't matter

Will I be able to unbrick it through ODIN if something goes wrong? I want to do Dual SIM to Single SIM conversion just for the sake of quick updates.
I'm not sure how different the international S7 variants are from each other. But here in the US they are all the same except for the software so I heard. I got a Sprint S7 to which I wanted to use on T-mobile. So I flashed Tmobile's firmware on my sprint variant and turn out great, have wifi calling and everything is working great.
So it couldn't hurt to try it if you know what you're doing and like you said, worse is just odin back to your stock firmware.

I have the 920F S6 that came with UAE firmware. I flashed XEF France firmware with no issue and assume the same would be true on the S7.

The UAE s6 you had was Dual SIM. And you flashed Single SIM firmware, right?

International variants have two versions. Dual SIM and Single SIM. Will doing this ODIN process void warranty or trip any counter?
I flashed the UK firmware on my s7 and it worked. I had the Trinidad and Tobago firmware before. I have the latest update now.

I see. I'm certain it doesn't void warranty but not 100% sure. No knox tripped for me so I assume you'll be ok also.

It shouldn't had been with UAE firmware. It was most likely US/International version. BTW it was better getting one from Souq instead of Amazon. Haven't seen Amazon mostly do international shipping on smartphone.

for future reference, you should check frequencies used by both carriers before flashing

if they dont match, you could have trouble with internet speed or battery life.
hi all,

I checked firmwares on Sammobile for my Galaxy S6Edge G925I with a Singaporean CSC. However nougat for G925I is only available for India on Sammobile. I live in Pakistan and use a Singaporean G925I so will a firmware built for Indian G925I work for me??
I am new to flashing so will really appreciate your advice.
Hi

Hi, I have the S8+ SM-G955F from Vodafone, it looks like some Vodafone bloatware apps are installed.
Does anyone have a stock firmware for the device?
Thanks!

Which odin are people using to flash firmwares.
Warning
OFFICIAL STOCK Firmware-update (Odin) thread Samsung GALAXY S8+ SM-G955F
Be advised, that BTU is now part of the Multi-CSC OXM
OXM has a lot of CSC's included! If you want to change i.e. fm Vodafone-firmware to BTU, the possibility is very high you won't get the BTU CSC but the 1st CSC in the package of OXM, which is AFR
I use Odin 3.12.3

Did you download the BTU from sammobile and flash as per the secure pin instructions? Is it luck that you got XEU from the flash or likely to do the same on my Vodafone model also? Thanks.

I didn't follow the secure pin instructions. I used the program SamFirm and downloaded the BTU rom which had the Multi-CSC, my firmware was Vodafone branded and had the Vodafone VOD CSC.
Once I used the correct Odin and flashed the BTU rom I reset the phone in the settings and then I had the XEU CSC which is the correct CSC for Ireland and the UK.

Use Odin 3.12.3 and CSC_OXM (NOT HOME_CSC_OXM)

Thank you. I flashed and now have build number NRD90M.G955FXXU1AQDD
Service provider software XEU/XEU/VOD
Is this UK/IRL XEU or still Vodafone UK firmware?
Excuse my ignorance, what is BTU? I am with O2, what benefit do we get from flashing BTU, no bloat apps?
Also I haven't yet accepted any updates, if we do, and realize for example we want to Re-map the Bixby button can we backtrack with this Firmware?
So doing this did not trip Knox ?

HI just flashed it all went well! Only small issue i have gotten the Tab thinks im based in UAE! it's giving me all this info from the Samsung Members App pics post prices etc! No biggie will have to wait for BTU Firmware to bring it back to my region! Thanks
Why the hell is it July patch and not August....... Last patch was May patch....... Every other Samsung device has gotten August and will soon be getting september.
Also South America got this update 31th July..... Europe/North America still hasnt gotten this update.
I'm gonna be mad if we get it without August Patch.
Hi, I bought Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5g from Malaysia. There is no 5G network in Malaysia yet, I moved to Hong Kong and registered 5G Hong Kong sim card but the phone cannot get 5G connectivity, also the samsung pay is still the Malaysia version, I cannot add Hong Kong cards in the samsung pay.
Will the above problem be solved if I load Hong Kong firmware to change the CSC using Odin? I checked in sammobile the firmwire is available but the PDA version differs. Can I still proceed? or is there any other option to resolve the problems?
If I update the HK firmwire using Odin, will the phone be considered jailbroken? Can I still use KnoX?
