[Q] Note Edge, Unofficial upgrade to lollipop by Odin and barriers

History:
Lollipop upgrade is rolled out just for USA T-Mobile users ( N915TUVU1ANK3 and N915TUVU1ANJL). I have a N915T (T-Mobile) but base band is different from USA users ( it's Trinidad and Tobago N915TUBU1AOA2). I'm trying to upgrade to lollipop by downloading the firmware which is released for USA and Odin. I also wan to root the Lolli after that.
General Questions regarding Odin :
Q1: If I upgrade 4.4.4 to 5.0.1 by Odin successfully, what will I lost ? Aps, Aps settings, Internal SD Data, contacts ....
Q2: if it's unsuccessful can I do a reset factory to turn back to my previous Android ?
My phone:
I installed: play.google<>.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
>> and found out that my phone is
Basdband: N915TUBU1AOA2
Original CSC: TMB
Firmware CSC: TTT
Active CSC: TMB/TTT
CSC ver: N915TUUB1AOA2
TTT= Trinidad and Tobago T-Mobile
....
Q3: Now can I use Odin and TMB BOD7 flash to go to lollipop ?

Hi,
1. You'll lost all your data on internal storage, applications installed, and configurations that you have done. So do backup before upgrading with ODIN.
2. You can't. Since the phone will brick. Flash the correct firmware again should work.
3. You shouldn't. The best way is to wait for the update roll up for your TTT Note Edge (because USA T-Mobile is different than TTT). Since some of the devices are carrier/bootloader locked.
Sorry, too many edits.

Not getting firmware update still in 5.0.2

Dear All,
I am not getting 5.1.1 firmware update for my Galaxy S6. After getting this phone, I only get one one update via smart switch. But that time update was not showing in phone OTA. But in smart switch update was available.
Now I am seeing in sammobile, 5.1.1 is available for couple of regions. But I am not getting 5.1.1 update via phone software update or via smart switch.
So, can somebody please let me know which 5.1.1 FW will be appropriate for my device?

its easier than you think.
- change csc via dialer. if this doesnt work root your device via PingPong and change csc via root.
- look a country that 5.1.1 has arrived.
THE END.

Why do i need CSC where i have same CSC 5.1.1 firmware.....

Here you go stock 5.1.1 Malaysian ROM (XME). Flash via odin.

Finally OTA available last day. 660MB update. It's now 5.1.1

Clarification on Firmware Versions

Hello,
I have an unlocked Sprint SM-G930P S7 and I am using it on an AT&T network. I would like to change the firmware to match the network and/or remove all of the sprint bloatware. Currently, when I boot the phone I get a service error asking me to contact technical support. Everything works, I just get a single error at boot and have unusable sprint apps. My options appear to be G930A (AT&T) or G930U (USA Generic?). I want to remain on a stock rom.
I have two questions:
1. If I flash my phone to the AT&T version will this lock my phone? My understanding is that all US hardware is the same but I keep seeing threads on how the AT&T phones are locked down (maybe this is no longer the case?). Will this prevent me from changing firmware or carriers in the future?
2. Is G930U the correct firmware for me to flash? From searches, it appears that the G930F (International) firmware is much more popular, but I am pretty sure I should stick with the "U" version in the US. Is there a specific "U" version I should use? Some threads discuss a boot loader requirement and I have no idea what version boot loader I have.
Phone Details are as follows:
Model: SM-G930P
Software: G930PVPS4APJ2
Baseband: G930PVPS4APJ2
Security Patch Level: October 1, 2016
Thanks for the help and clarification

Flashing new (for me), Samsung S7 questions.

Hi all, I just recieved my phone and it works fine, problem, I am a Tmobile subscriber and the phone is a SM-G930A Ver. 6.01 marshmallow. I can't update OTA and some other issues. I want to flash to Tmobile and have downloaded these files as well as Odin, phone in developer options correct, etc. Will this work? I am also concerned about KNOX, should I be? Thanks in advance, a newbie.

KNOX only trips when you flash custom firmware, so if you've got the stock firmware files it shouldn't trip KNOX, just make sure you got them from a reliable source (simfirmtool, sammobile, updato etc)
You should have 4 or 5 files to flash with Odin, AP, CP, BL and CSC (or HOME_CSC, which doesn't wipe data, CSC does, choose one)
You can't flash an older Android version on Snapdragon devices but you can sidegrade or upgrade, but since you're flashing from 6 to 7 it shouldn't be an issue.

Galaxy s7 g930p firmware guide

Hello i am new here i have some questions plz.clear my mind issue is i have galaxy s7 g930p when i dial*#1234# it shows AP, CP G930P AND CSC G930F what is this??? I want to update oreo which firmware should i use i am in pakistan and already use os marshmallow

Boot into download mode (Power + Home + Vol Down) and check what model number it says you have there.
Then download the firmware specifically for that model and nothing else.

Thanks for reply... in download mode its shows g930p and also in settings same model name and also back on phone side same but in recovery mode shows g930v

Here is some detail...
In the Downloads mode SM-G930P is displayed,
in the Phone Info also SM-G930P,
in the manufacturer "Samsung / Verizon",
product code "Not Active",
Original CSC code is empty,
CSC firmware code VZW,
active VZW firmware code,
available CSC codes are empty,
SCS country USA / HK,
Bootloader version G930PVPU4APL6,
PDA version G930PXXU1BPIA,
version CSC G930FXXU1BPIA,
radio module version G930PVPU4APL6.
Which model firmware should i download

Download mode is the only value that can't be changed by modifying the firmware, so it's your true model.
The G930P is the US Sprint S7 model running Snapdragon, so you can use any Snapdragon firmware with Odin (G930U/V/T/P) but don't attempt to flash anything Exynos as it will brick your phone (G930F/FD/W8/K)
G930U is the carrier unlocked generic firmware, so the best one to use if you don't want bloat etc.

Thank u so much can i now install latest update of g930u? in odin fill all boxes with g930u files also csc g930fxxu1bpia with g930u file?

Thank you so much sm-g930u firmware with oreo now working in my sm-g930p no any issue here thanks
