Hi
I want to know is there any problem if i install G930F firmwares on G930FD using Odin?
Also
For OTA updates which Model is better?
Yes you can, plenty of threads already asking the same question
BTU just got October update (Unbranded United Kingdom)

New to international unbranded models.. I just purchased a 920F S6. How do these models get their updates ota? With a tmo 920T you could check update etc but how does an unbranded model work?
Also, I've seen posts about flashing a France firmware to get updates faster. Is there an unbranded version that gets the first updates from Samsung?
Thanks
hi you would need BTU firmware i do believe
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
Galaxy S7 edge

correct, i went with the latest Turkey a few days ago because it had the april update
Hi, i have a s7 edge and the "generic" internation version of the exynos variant was the BTU from Uk, the one that i think got the oficial updates faster.
In the case of the G955F im not sure about that cause i think BTU did not even have the pink screen solution firmware but Netherlands got it before, is PHN the new "generic" faster csc to get the updates for the exynos version like it was with BTU for s7 edge?
Im trying to get the g955f firmware that get the oficial updates faster.
Tnx.

Don't think BTU will be around anymore. I believe XEU is the CSC for UK and Ireland.
PHN is probably a region specific CSC.
Samsung has grouped quite a few CSCs and made a multi-CSC code called OXM, so you can flash whatever (as long as it isn't carrier branded), insert a local SIM card from your country and go through the setup menu as you would normally when you flash a new ROM.
hi folks,
my 930f exynos is currently on marshmallow BLP2, its an XEU csc, unbranded UK. i would like to go back to APC8 firmware. am i right in thinking that i can just flash the official APC8 XEU firmware from sammobile? i thought i could but also got some advice elsewhere that i couldn't because of the bootloader? confused as i thought the bootloader was unlocked on exynos devices.
gary.

Hi mate
As far as i know there should be no problem , 99.99% of the people had no problem some people had issues not downgrading but with some minor functionality
Check here
Today I tried switching my s8+ which is an Italian unlocked model (ITV) to a United Kingdom unlocked firmware (BTU). I followed all the steps as this is not my first time flashing firmwares with Odin. I found a thread online saying that since BTU is a multi CSC , I need to flash a ROM that's is outside the multi CSC , so I decided to flash a O2 ROM , straight after flashing the BTU hoping that it would change the CSC , but it didn't instead it stood on ITV, the country/region is still on Italy too. Can anyone explain what I done wrong pls ?
Why do you even care about csc ? Install rom for your coutry "global", not branded soft and that's all...
BTU is not branded, it's unlocked with no carrier. Updates are also provided directly from Samsung. I would like to change the ROM for faster updates and features

So according to what I read it's impossible to change the CSC to BTU on the Galaxy s8 unless you have a UK Sim. This used to be possible on the s7.

But NOT possible anymore on the S8/S8+
ITV & BTU are both part in OXM. When you flash BTU-ROM, your device will stay ITV because both are in OXM...

Yes, S7 didn't use the multi-CSC, each region had it's own CSC.
But the Euro S8 has Multi-CSC, so it won't change region until you put in a SIM from that new region.
Thanks guys for helping. I just wanted to change the CSC for quicker updates and for region specific features like Bixby Voice when it gets released in the UK.
