i have galaxy s7 ( sm-g930f), is it safe installing the nougat of UK ( BTU ), it won't affect my warranty ? because i will take my phone in few weeks to after sale services to fix camera problem
please help
No it won't. Knox pass warranty is only when you flash custom rom or when you root the rom. No warranty broken when Samsung officiel rom is flashed.
You can flash nougat without issue.

also my phone originally isn't BTU it is WTL so it won't be there any issues ?
With my phone, XEF is still my CSC after flashing Nougat then... Maybe you will be still with WTL maybe BTU. But the CSC can be changed by reflashing other odin package.
Keep BTU is not a problem, you will still get updates.

Everything is working just fine, but S Health app telling me: Your device has been compromised. Because of new security policy introduced in version 5.0, knoxis not availble on compromised devices. ( 0x100050521)
in the download mode: everything is okay just like flashing the 7.0
Strange... No problem on my phone. Try to do a hard reset.

When I flash, should I add CSC and CP and BL files or only AP file ?
Omg yes, flash all the files.
You have to flash all 4 files, ignore just the home_csc.

I would like to report that at least we have SUCCESSFULLY flashed and rooted MJ7 UK firmware using Mobile Odin Pro 3.85.
This is for the SM-N9005 Qualcomm Snapdragon model.
We were originally rooted on MJ1 by using Root de la Vega, with Knox 0x0, which made the Mobile Odin flash possible.
SUCCESSFUL FIRMWARE VERSIONS ROOTABLE: MI7, MJ1, MJ3
UNSUCCESSFUL ROOT :MJ6 and later
NOTE: THIS DOES NOT RESET YOUR KNOX if it is 0x1.
Originally reported in a Malaysia forum here: - XDA user williamyi (WiLyi on Lowyat.net forum) was the first user to report trying this method with success. Thank him in post 2 !!

Knox remains 0x0
All we need to do is to to reinstall Xposed and its mods.
Thanks @Chainfire !!!!!
Many other XDA users are also now reporting success by flashing to MJ7 using this method.
Steps: (thanks to WiLyi of Lowyat.net forum) aka @williamyi in XDA
1. Download UK MJ7 firmware.
2. Extract the tar.md5 (I placed in internal SD - not sure if this make any differences)
3. Open the tar.md5
4. Check:
i. Everroot
ii. Inject SuperSU
iii. Inject Mobile Odin
5. Flash
NOTE: Mobile Odin will throw a standard warning about tripping Knox. That can be ignored (we did). Remember to tick Everroot so that you will be rooted immediately upon flashing.
NOTE: Mobile Odin "A compatible device was detected, but with an unexpected partition layout. Mobile ODIN cannot operate. This is a common error on CM and MIUI ROMs on some devices."
This can be solved by uninstalling and reinstalling SuperSU or its updates.

I had initially rooted with the Root de la Vega method, and Knox was still 0x0. I wanted to test a newer ROM MJ7 so after @williamyi had succeeded I tried as well.

I have rooted the firmware using Root De La Vega since day the early days and gotten the root access without tripping the knox.
This time I flash the UK's MJ7 firmware using Mobile Odin Pro 3.85 and successfully update the firmware from the first MJ1 to the latest MJ7 without tripping the knox as shown in the first link in the first post

Which firmware are you in now? As far as I know firmware later than BMJ1 comes with a new bootloader.
You may try to root it using URDLV first before flashing to later firmware using Mobile Odin. Alternatively you may try method in post 8

Also add that this is tested on MJ1 bootloader only. URDLV will definitely trip MJ3 bootloader and above. Dunno about MOP.
Add another to the success stories, still had/have the MJ1 bootloader, now up to MJ7.

awww I was actually hoping you mean like flashing a recovery or kernel with mobileodin and keeping the knox 0x0 ;P... too much wishful thinking I guess.....
I was running MI7 firmware with root but after flashing to MJ8 firmware, I lost root. Knox is still 0x0
Can I downgrade the firmware back to MI7 and root it again with RDLV method and then use mobileodin to update firmware?

MJ8? Are you using HK firmware? Not sure if the bootloader is the same in MJ7 or not, but if they are using a new bootloader, then I believe there is no way to downgrade the bootloader

No..you cannot as you already have new bootloader when your flash the MJ8 firmware. Even if you use RDLV..you will still trip your Knox as RDLV meant to those who still on the old bootloader.

If you flashed the MJ8 file as it comes straight from Samsung then no, you can't downgrade without triggering the Knox counter.
If it was a URDLV version then yeah.

can i install custom recovery on it without tripping knox or anything else on download mode
if i restore to stock will everything stays the same?
thank you in advance
You can root without tripping the KNOX with Ping Pong Root , but if you flash unsigned software like custom recovery or custom ROM the knox will trip and you will loose the warranty.

Made in Vietnam
Original CSC code "ECT"
Active CSC code "ECT"
Knox Warranty void 0*0
CSC Country Nigeria/NG
CSC version
G920FOJV1AODE
Android version 5.0.2
When I tried to OTA update, it shows "already latest OS installed"
I have tried to update it through smart switch, but it updated to the same version.
I have checked in sammobile that 5.1.1 stock available for the same CSC of Nigeria.
Can I update my mobile to 5.1 through odin with out Knox trip.
Knox tripping is very important for me.
any one can help me
Edit: Got Bootloader Files just now. Will include it in my upcoming custom ROM
Will keep it short. Nobody wants to read big stuffs anyways

Here u go guys,
The Ofiicial Oreo firmware R16NWG935FXXU2ERD5
- Its a TWRP Backup
- Contains UNTOUCHED System,Baseband and boot image.
Steps:
- Extract zip to your External SD
- Reboot to TWRP
- Wipe system, data, internal sd etc etc (what you do usually when flashing a rom)
- Restore> R16NWG935FXXU2ERD5
- Flash no verity zip
- Flash Magisk
- Flash your Country CSC (Use S8 Port CSC for now)
-Reboot
Download link : https://mega.nz/#!URswBJ5A!ThOBn4u7dZYQGEo6BueKCtL-BS1gqzsLgMWlSaYrJ-c
This is only for people who dont want to wait for official OTA and for Devs who wants to make a ROM now
The official firmware might get uploaded on sammobile after 2-3 days
The backup is untouched so everything is present in this (bloat and useless apps too)
Debloat apps with titanium backup and report back if u face any issues.
Make sure to debloat SecuritylogAgent. It keeps bugging you that unauthorised actions have been detected and stuff lol
If your knox is intact or dont like dumps then follow Rifek's Guide

Your Warranty is void if you install TWRP once in your phone. Installing TWRP changes knox counter to 0x1.
It stays 0x1 even after flashing official firmware later. So dont install TWRP just for this update. Wait for official release!

Flash TWRP Backup then
If u flash Official Odin firmware and update to Oreo U cannot downgrade bootloader! So no more Nougat Firmware flashing.
Also you may not be able to flash your country official firmware via Odin (Bootloader Version Lock).
So play it safe and Use TWRP Backup from this thread.

Hi all, I am not sure if this will help you to downgrade from oreo to nougat but I am having issue with oreo firmware this is why I take a chance to downgrade from oreo to nougat due to some feature. I was excited once oreo released for S7 Edge but from time to time its disappointed me. Anyways I was using BTU latest G935FXXU2EREM, G935FOXA2EREM and now I am using G935FXXU2DRAG with same BL and Modem. You can also downgrade from oreo to nougat if you want but I will not taking any responsibility if your phone damage.
1- Download nougat firmware from Here
2- Open up Odin with Admin Rights. Put your phone into Downgrade Mode, select BL and CP and leave the checked as default (Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time) and flash
3- Once reboot now its time to downgrade to nougat, put BL, AP, CP and CSC (Not Home_CSC)
4- Get pit file from CSC file (use 7zip to extract) and place into their respective field. Checked Auto Reboot, Nand Erase, Re-Partition, F.Reset Time
5- This will fully format your phone, flash it and wait for reboot
6- Profit?
Let me know what's your experience on this. I just share my experience without having issue since now.
