Help please help with firmware - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hello
I have a s8+ that was originally from Vodafone UK. The person that have sold it to me unlocked it. I've flashed as well the no brand firmware for UK to have the wifi call. Because I'm with ee I would like to flash the EE firmware to have Volte as well. I've tried many times with Odin but always fail at the end after hidden.img
I tried many suggestions found on line but none was working... Once I was again back to Vodafone firmware as well also if I was flashing the EE one. Someone Could help me with a guide step by step how to install ee firmware without errors?
Thank you very much indeed
I could pay for help

Which CSC did you use to flash:
CSC_EVR or HOME_CSC_EVR?
You must use the 1st one: CSC_EVR
So, you have to flash: AP BL CP & CSC_EVR (your device will be resetted)

Flashing Vodafone firmware on Galaxy S6

Hello, i have a Galaxy S6 that i bought from Carphone Warehouse which is unlocked. I am on a vodafone contract and want to be able to use WIFI Calling. I have been told that it will only work if i bought the phone directly from Vodafone. After some research i found on sammobile that the official firmware is availble on Vodafone. If i were to flash this file, would it activate the features? Would this reset the phone or void my warranty?

Thanks
I did exactly that, but by mistake. It lead to me losing my phone's IMEI and baseband. It is fixed after reflashing the correct one again though.
Also, most likely Odin will fail flashing it at Hidden.img
Thanks, think I will give this a miss then!:good:

SM-G930V purchased in Australia

Hi All,
I have a moderate experience in flashing firmwares and modding my samsung devices over the years.
I have recently purchased an S7 which is unfortunately a SM-G930V model, i thought it would have been the SM0G930F which would have made life much easier.
I want to know if it is possible to get the original Australian firmware or even generic stock firmware on this device?
My issue is with the network settings where i have manually put in APN settings my match my carrier and 4G coverage in australia.
If not am i able to just flash a different baseband to this device preferably Australian?
I have read that flashing a different model firmware will soft brick the device, i just want some insight before i start breaking things, also what are my options.
Much appreciated, thanks, Will
You have the snapdragon s7, you can't flash the exynos 930f firmware on it, you can only flash the american firmware. You might have luck with the 930u unbranded firmware just do some research on it.
Thanks mate,
I'm going to flash this firmware using ODIN, do you know if it will be successful?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/xda-community-love-g930u-t3415875
not sure how to check my bootloader version etc
No clue, goto the verizon subforum and see if anyone flashed the 930u firmware on their 930v.
Just tried to flash the firmware to my phone and recieved an error, the phone is now stuck at download mode with error:
sw rev check fail : [system] fused 3 > binary 4
this means the bootloader won't accept the firmware?
LOL, guess ill try another firmware.. Any ideas?

Of course they do! :good:
Basically just want to know what would happen if I flashed carrier branded csc only with Odin.
E.g. would my phone refuse to boot, would my phone be carrier branded if it succesfully boots, trip Knox, etc...
Any info welcome - tired of googling the answers or searching XDA forum for answers.

Might have some carrier preinstalled crap but it won't trip KNOX nor prevent the phone from booting

That answered some of my questions, thanks.
Please see screenshot for my mutiCSC firmware. I am running Android 7 but haven't changed CSC since I got the phone in December 2016. I got it with Marshmallow on it. Everytime I upgrade firmware with Odin I select Home CSC so my CSC never changes.
Since the solution is in the CSC (afaik), which CSC do you recommend I flash with Odin? I understand how to flash with Odin if CSC not in my multiCSC firmware (tick re-partition, etc...)
My home network is Vodafone (CSC is XVF which is not part of my CSC).

If i got it right you are not root, right? if you are root there are other ways....
Yes you need the right CSC to make it work , in this case Vodafone XFV.
When you change to a different CSC is recommended to check re partition to adjust to the possible change in partitions
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930F/XFV/download/G930FXXU1DQD2/131635/
Download the firmware and extract the correct CSC from it , if you do not want all the vodafone stuff you could download and unbranded firmware and use the BL ,CP , AP from it and the CSC (XFV) from Vodafone and flash it all together
BACK UP FIRST .......

Yes, no root (for now). Will only root in a year when I get my upgrade on my contract.
Thanks, you basically confirmed what I suspected. Just needed a Jedi to point that out so I have peace of mind. I shall report back... :highfive: :good:

S7 SM-G930V Need advice for a flash! I'm lost !

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930V and I cannot receive and send MMS.
I am in France
I made several adjustments in the apn, but in vain.
So I want to flash the phone to see if it solves MMS problems.
Problem, I can't find the right files for the file.
I installed this one
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s7/firmware/SM-G930V/VZW/download/G930VVRSBCTC1/329889/
And that installed a VERIZON overlay and that wasn’t what I wanted at all and it didn’t solve my problems.
Can you tell me the right files without operator overlay?
thank you in advance
Hello
can you tell me that original firmware version to this phone?
thank you
Nobody knows ?
Your best bet would be flashing the G930U firmware, it's the generic non-carrier specific firmware intended for carrier unlocked phones. It would have the best chance working in Europe.

Make sure you flash all 4 files (AP, BL, CP, CSC), make sure you use CSC and not Home_CSC, this will wipe data but it will be necessary to fix your issues

It looks like you have an g930A (which is AT&T) as your PDA version, where it should be g930V or g930U. Make sure you download and flash all 4 files (BL, AP, CSC, CP). You can get the unbranded firmware from the same place you got the other at samobile. That is the G930U firmware.
Hello,
I come back to this subject late.
Here is the model number
Apparently it's an SM-G930V
Can I flash with this one?

thank you
Am I wrong or not?
Thank you

You cannot flash because the bootloader version is B11. Most threads don't mention the bootloader issue, either because the thread is old, or not enough people updated their firmware to experience the issue.
I started a thread about it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/question-rev-b-11-bootloader-t4167637
