Off the 3 official kitkat 4.4.2 roms I have tested, Switzerland & Poland & Baltic, I find the Baltic one the best.
At least I get to use kitkat before the BTU variant is released,as long as I use the official sam-mobile firmware, basically I can test the different country variants of the new kitkat 4.4.2 without fear of tripping knox, and I still get the OTA updates.
Did you check your CSC?I had Netherland 4.4.2 PHN-N9005XXUENA6 and after i see what you write here i flash Baltic SEB-N9005XXUENA6 for the OTA update.Everything went ok but after i get the update now it's Poland new version CSC:NB1 (XEO).
Before update...
After update...
But here you don't see the CSC.You must install phone info and there you can see what country you have.

Hi orly.
Didn't see that, weird? why would an update change the CSC back to Poland, my CSC also shows N9005OXXENB1 and kies still says its an official version?
So to try to understand process I did a wipe cache and wipe data in recovery and it still shows N9005OXXENB1, so I re flashed Baltic ROM again and it now shows CSC N9005OXXENA5, now when I plug my note 3 into kies it says it wants to change it back
Just realised that the CSC has changed but both were the same XEO!
See screen dump.
Yes it's like mine.But the problem is that i have the Baltic CSC and now i have the Polonian CSC. Only with OTA update.

To see CSC put in *#1234# in phone dialer
I will flash the Switzerland ROM again after tea and report back, I am guessing that the first kitkat ROM you flash is the CSC you get stuck with unless you root, and the CSC variations are only small software programs that are country specific like the Switzerland ROM. As I flashed the first official Poland ROM I am stuck with XEO.
The core features like like say having 4G in settings are ROM specific not the CSC files, which is why I swapped between all the 3 kitkat versions I have tested..
My first rom was a baltic 4.3 with that one i bought the Phone.First time i have Baltic CSC then uk CSC after flash i made a full wipe and then Netherland CSC. I verify in kies3.
Phew..
So I flashed the Switzerland ROM again and my CSC is now N9005PHNENA2, I tried hard reset from menu and hasen't changed, plugged into pc for kies and says its latest? So I was wrong you can change the CSC it appears?
Which is great as I am waiting for the BTU variant this month hopefully.
I told you. Only on my s3 i need a software for change csc. It mean That you flash a old firmware. You didnt trip Knox?

Hi orly.
No my Knox fine, as long as I use official 4.4.2 ROM's. Now on latest Poland ROM.
@gadjet Just to clarify, you flashed the official polish rom with odin and knoxx wasnt tripped? If so what odin version did you use?

I have never been rooted on my Note 3, and I only flashed official firmware from samfirmare.com, not posted ones on XDA just in case, I use odin 3.09
You can see from my previous screen dumps while I flashed different variants this week, and I include a screen shot from my note 3 as of today with the latest Poland ROM.
I've flashed Official Poland 4.4.2 Feb 2014 too... just curious can you install an application from APK files ? I seems having problems not able to do it short while after Factory Reset... already enable in setting thou but still the Install bar can't be click...
? SM-N9005 @ Tapatalk ?
Yes you can.But first you must enable from settings unknown sources.Everything it's ok no wifi drop or something else sayed somebody.
New Poland ROM has same problems for me as first Poland release, i.e.. screen off f-ups and wake lock problems, phone does random lock ups when switching screen back on, and no buttons seem work for a few seconds and screen blank, capacitive buttons sometimes light up? I had to hold power button down for 10 seconds once to get a re boot!
So I am flashing back to the Baltic ROM again.
Hello everyone.
I have a problem after changing software.
The factory software my phone was 5.1.1 Italy (vodafon) OMN, I decided to upgrade to version 5.1.1 BTU, so far so good.
But when I want to go back to the 5.1.1 Italy (Vodafone) the CSC Country was changed to SIM/Slovenia.
What should I do to change in Italy/OMN, What software should you download from sammobile?
Flash Italy firmware and do a hard reset

I write you a Private Message! Use Smart Switch
Hi,
The CSC doesn't matter regarding the system itself, it's just the "location" of your device. If you want to have the Italy CSC back though, just flash a firmware from Italy, just like you did with the BTU. I think you can find it in the SamMobile website.
I don't believe that using Smart Switch/Kies will solve your problem, since I believe it'll flash back the stock from your current CSC, which is SIM/Slovenia right?
All the best,

Again I tried to pass the Italian rom 5.1.1 Vodafone OMN but remains csc SIM / Slovenia.
I installed via odin version 6.0.1 Italian OMN but remains csc SIM / Slovenia.
What else should I do;
I always do before and after the installation, factory data reset,

Hi,
Sorry, I didn't understand your problem at first . I have searched and came across this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/change-csc-to-btu-to-vod-flash-stock-t3275067. Please let me know if the problem was solved.

I have got an unlocked Galaxy S7 (G930F) and have flashed the android nougat update (BTU - UK - 7.0). It is working fine.
Since I have updated to nougat, there are some updates released (bug fixes, I can confirm this on sammobile site) but are not available when I check for the updates in settings.
Any idea on what this issue might be.
If you have either root or custom recovery you can't receive OTAs but you can update using SmartSwitch on your PC

hi mate
Updates ( if you are not rooted) are CSC carrier dependent , if your carrier or CSC do not issue any updates ...you will not have them.
When you checked in sammobile you checked if your carrier / CSC had updates?
No updates on Smart switch

I do not have root or custom recovery. I have downloaded the firmware from sammobile and checked that the knox warranty is not tripped over and the device status is still official.

The BTU firmwares in the UK are not network dependent as far as I know and they come installed in unlocked devices with no network bloatware.
I do remember flashing the CSC (G930FOXA1DPLT - that's the current one) which came with the BTU firmware. The new CSC has updates (G930FOXA1DQB1).
Am I missing something or is the device still dependent on a network to approve this.
Do you get any error?

No, it says "the latest updates have already been installed "
I even had this issue on Android 6 so I downloaded the Android 7 and flashed it via odin. Now there are updates but I would like to get the OTA to update it.

Yes the bug fixes are for this country (UK).
I am not sure if they are carrier dependent as it is an unlocked software (I am on O2 and there is a different firmware for O2 locked devices).
Are they still carrier dependent is the phone is unlocked?

Okay, in this case I think I will have to wait for O2 to approve them.
I thought the idea of having an unlocked phone from samsung is to use any sim and get updates directly from Samsung when they release it.

Hi
You get updates either by the carrier or by the CSC , in your case you have an unbranded firmware , BTU, so no carrier updates...you will get an update only when an update for BTU unbranded firmware is release it , independently if there are other firmwares newer than yours around....only way to keep updated to the latests is flashing it yourself any new release , check this thread if you deciede to go that way
Try to get your CSC code by installing Phone Info from the market : I too have flashed the first official Nougat BTU UK 7.0 firmware with Odin, with a complete reset of the phone, but in my case I still have CSC = ITV and not BTU.
This seems to prevent us from getting the new OTA update : somewhere I've read that after the Odin procedure I should have entered recovery and factory reset the phone from there to get the CSV changed to BTU as the installed firmware is a "multi-csc" variant.
We still can download today's new firmware from SamMobile and use home_csc to avoid resetting again the phone.
Hope someone more expert than me can confirm/correct my statements

The BTU has a firmware update available on sammobile but not it's not OTA update on my phone.
What if I download the new update and flash it via odin with HOME_CSC file added. Will it start the updates by carrrier?

My S7 DUOS FD and my wife's S7 F both recieved the Nougat OTA update DQB1 today, mine was originally CSC XSG (UAE) and mi wife's was CSC TTT (Trinidad And Tobago), and both were updated to CSC BTU Nougat Final release, changing the CSC to BTU (this will wipe out your memory in the process but for a newer OS version it is recommended). I had doubts about getting any OTA updates since my S7 is the FD version which does not exists as a BTU phone originally, but in the end I got the update.
Long story short, if you want to recieve OTA updates after sideloading firmware with ODIN with a different CSC, you should fully convert to that new CSC, otherwise you won't get the OTA's.

Hi
if you have a DPLT firmware you should get it soon.....unless your system by some reason is not set as original ( even if knox is tripped but your system is set as original you will get it) anyhow is faster if you download it yourself and flash it , use home_csc so you will not factory reset your phone , NOTE: has to be the same home_csc that you have in your phone right now , not any home_csc for example:
Lets say you want to flash the latest firmware and it happens to be from France and you do not want to loose any of your apps , config or data
1 find out what CSC is installed in your phone ( phoneinfo app is great for that) in your case BTU
2 download the latest possible firmware for your CSC and extract from it the home_csc file , save it , discard the rest
3 download the latest firmware available , in our example France , extract from it download the MAIN-file and extract AP BL & CP save it , discard the other 2 files ( home_csc and CSC from France firmware
4 now take AP BL & CP from the latest firmware ( in our example France) and take the home_csc from a BTU firmware ( why , because is the CSC installed in your phone) and flash the together
In that way you can always have the latest in your phone without waiting for it , phone will not be knox tripped , will be 100%official as is all official firmware
If your using the btu version for UK phones, then how did you manage not to brick your phone? The UK phones do not have snapdragon, they have the Samsung chips.

Thank you, you are a hero :good:. I did update via odin and installed it without losing any data.
As I have said I have previously (about a week ago) used the CSC file rather than HOME_CSC.
I have the Phone Info app, The Orignal CSC code is blank(is it normal?), Does this look normal as I have not checked the CSC before updating to android nougat. I have added a screenshot of it.
Can anyone provide a very detail guide on how to change from Three UK firmware to BTU on Galaxy S8+ as Three UK hasn't updated Galaxy S8+ since April. I feel very left out at the moment. I would like to change without losing data. Is there a way of doing this?

Yeah I hate this too so out of date, but I am seeing three firmware appearing on sammobile everywhere else apart from united kingdom. I was actually thinking of flashing the three firmware at one stage as I'm missing out on volte but having more up to date firmware is top priority for me
I would like to keep WiFi calling. Even though I haven't used it once. Why is Three behaving like this. Did you flash BTU version after being fed up with Three lack of updates.

NOT possible...
BTU is part of the Multi-CSC OXM where MANY European CSC's are included.
If you download for i.e. the BTU-firmware, that'll be the same firmware as for i.e. PHN (Netherlands).
You'll have to flash BL CP AP & CSC_OXM on your phone; your phone will be resetted afterwards.
The DEFAULT CSC for OXM is XEU. Your phone "sees", that an UK-SIM is included and will "switch" to the best CSC for your device, which is in this case XEU. You won't get BTU on your device...
I'll lose my data with XEU won't I

If you change your CSC, you'll ALWAYS lose your data...
Also worth noting that to keep Volte/WiFi Calling you would need to use the Three Firmware (H3G) as the OXM CSC firmware does not enable it.
I'm a Three UK customer and have tried many times to get Volte/WiFi calling working on XEU (OXM Multi CSC) with no luck. Only works when I use H3G firmware but I hate the crappy branding so sacrificed Volte for no branding.
I flashed from vodafone uk to btu but as someone said you get xeu. Updates are fast I had 3 already.

Latest update was pushed this morning on 3UK
Good one
flashed three firmware coming from xeu but cant send text messages lol everything else works, also the message center is grayed out so i cant manually imput the smsc number....
Just need to wait until we get August update. Probably won't be till November/ December. I hope when Beta for Android O is released. We will be able to join in on the excitement
As mentioned in the same thread for the S7 Edge
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/oreo-update-bootloop-t3784501
there is a serious problem with the Vodafone OTA update.
My phone is now bricked and won't get passed the optimising apps screen. You'd think these updates would go through better QA.
Here is a thread on the vodafone forums
https://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Android/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Oreo-Update-Rolling-out-today/td-p/2596432
If I try to wipe the cache in recovery mode I get the message
E: Failed to clear BCB message: failed to find /misc partition
Any ideas how to fix this without a factory reset?

When I downloaded the official ROM I have I have 5 files.
AP_
BL_
CP_
CSC_
HOME_CSC_
Am I supposed to use the first 3 plus HOME_CSC?
Thanks.
I tried it with all files except for the CSC_ (HOME_CSC instead).
Same bootloop after flashing...
I wonder if this ROM is simply broken.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930F/VOD/download/G930FXXU2ERD5/217729/
If I'm going to lose all my files anyway (next option) I may as well flash the Samsung ROM now?
Google backup of the phone is a lifesaver! 4.3GB backup apparently.
So that was basically just apps. Some app specific files were saved though.
