OTA not enabled on S7. - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers
Hi,
I've flashed the latest BTU nougat on my S7: G930FXXS2DRC3 wanting to upgrade to Oreo via OTA from that.
After flashing the firmware, I wiped the cache and reset to factory settings via the recovery menu.
However, when checking for updates, I'm not receiving any OTA update for Oreo and according to the Phone Info app, my details are:
Product Code: SM-G930FZKAXEU
Firmware's CSC Code: XEU
Active CSC Code: XEU
Available CSC Codes: BTU, CPW, DBT, ITV, KOR, NEE, XEF, XEO, XEU
Bootloader Version: G930FXXS2DRC3
PDA Version: G930FXXS2DRC3
CSC Version: G930FOXA2DRB1
Baseband Version: G930FXXU2DRB6
I also checked with Smartswitch on PC, and it believes my S7 is on the most up to date firmware.
Any ideas/suggestions to make OTA work and use BTU as the active CSC code?
Bonus Question:
I also got a Note 8 recently and did similar, it was originally on the TIM CSC code, and I flashed the latest BTU Oreo firmware to it, again wiping the cache and resetting to factory settings after, and on that I can also see it set to XEU in the CSC, however my brother also has a Note 8 bought from the UK, and he was able to update to Oreo via OTA and his settings in the Phone info app are identical to mine. Are future OTA updates something to be worried about on mine?
Thanks
Just flash the BTU Oreo 8.0 stock firmware from sammobile / updato / samfirm tool
BTU is multi-CSC and includes XEU so if your phone is XEU it will default to XEU as was also the problem I had
Once you've flashed the BTU 8.0 Firmware, your CSC will remain XEU but you will be running BTU 8.0 firmware, then we just wait for XEU to receive it and flash it back over the top using HOME_CSC so not to lose any data

Yeah I've noticed that is now available now, but it's a pain if you can never have BTU OTA.
Why would you need to wait for XEU to receieve it to flash it back though? To restore OTA for XEU updates?

Yea, not sure if BTU firmware would succeed with an XEU OTA, possible it would fail / brick or just not find any OTA at all as the build number the CSC is looking for would not be present
There are guides to flash from XEU to BTU but so far they all failed for me, the main one is to flash to a completely different region first that is not included in the BTU CSC, KSA was recommended, but that just failed and bricked my phone, after about 4-5 different attempts using different guides to get the BTU CSC I gave up
I have had BTU on here before with the N beta last year but not since flashing back to XEU

Changing a Multi-CSC ROM to get other OTA's
Hi, I bought a Galaxy S8+ that has XSG as CSC. As I've read, it's part of the Multi-CSC list and can't change the CSC to other Multi-CSC code (AFAIK). So.. Can I flash the DBT firmware? If I flash DBT firmware will I get the OTA updates from the DBT? Or I will not get OTA and I'll have to reflash the firmware via Odin everytime I want to update?

Flash Oreo on Samsung S7 with odin - how to change CSC from XEO to BTU?
Hello, last days I flashed the new Oreo firmware for my SM-G930F, available now only for UK (BTU CSC code). I used the last odin version 3.13.1. When the firmware was flashed, after factory recet I received my old CSC code (XEO). I wrote in forums, that if I want to changthe default CSC I have to set in odin settings Repartition. So yesterday evening I decided to reflash the firmware, but now with ticked Repartiotion. When I cklicked on Start, afer one two seconds red Fail windows has been shown. Why I can't flash the firmware with set Repartition? Does somebody have an idea what went wrong? Reasons why I want to change the CSC code by default from XEO to BTU is that BTU receives the updates at the earliest!

Click to collapse BTU contains XEU as it is Multi-CSC, you cannot switch between them directly You need to flash a different region CSC not included in BTU first, then flash BTU

*Detection* said: Exactly the same as XEO is also included in the BTU CSC[/QUOTE What about flashing the same firmware with odin 3.13.1, but with ticked repartition in the option? This, regarding the comments in sammobile forum works. But for me doesn't. Maybe for Oreo it doesn't work or there is something specifically to do? I can't catch your proposal for flashing the other firmware. Can you tell me which exactly firmware I have to flash first, later on to receive BTU Oreo CSC as default? Click to expand...
