Used Galaxy8+ wont update, old owner probrably changed firmware - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

hi everyone,
i recently bought a used Galaxy S8+ here in japan, with the model number being SM-G955FD and android version 7.0.
i tried updating it manually and using the smart switch app but nothing happens and the app says its up to date.
i tried doing a factory reset on the phone but instead of the normal recovery menu i got a odin menu.
I think the old owner changed the firmware and now im stuck.
im quite new to android so i dont know much about what to do.
any help is appreciated.
Edit:
my firmware is G955FXXU1AQH3, and CSC code is XXV-vietnam.
i tried using odin to install a official firmware but it fails at boot.bin and on the phone it says secure check fail bootloader.
i really dont know what to do.

Im going to dump some info from my phone:
System Info:
Android 7.0
Samsung Experience Version 8.1
Baseband Version G955FDXXU1AQH3
CSC XXV/XXV/SKC
Phone INFO Samsung:
Bootloader Version G955NKSU3CRI3
PDA Version G855FDXXU1AQH3
CSC version G955FOXM1AQH3
Baseband Version G955NKOU3CRI1
Original CSC code XXV
Active CSC code XXV
Avaiable CSC codes INS, ITV, THL, TUR, XEO, XFE, XME, XSG, XSP, XTC, XXV
Its not rooted.
Edit: Forgot to mention but on the back of my phone it says SM-G955N, download mode is in korean and on the Recovery menu it says G950NKSU1AQG7.

[Q] Can't update via Kies or OTA

Hello everyone,
Long time ago i flashed a stock Austria 4.1.2 ROM (N7100XXDMC3_N7100OXXDMC2_N7100XXDLK7_HOME.tar.md5) and some days ago my phone started telling me it has a system update (which fails everytime)
Cannot update OTA and Kies says "Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies."
Changing CSC to NEE with CSC Changer didn't help
Flashed N7100XXDME6_N7100ROMDMF1_N7100XXDME4_HOME.tar.md5 from sammobile and still got the same problem
I didn't flash a separate CSC/modem/anything else
*#1234# says:
AP: N7100XXDME6
CP: N7100XXDME4
CSC: N7100ROMDMF1
Settings -> About:
Baseband version: N7100XXDME4
Build number: JZO54K.N7100XXDME6
Kies says:
PDA:ME6 / PHONE:ME4 / CSC:MF1 (XXX) --> why XXX ?
Phone's box shows: GT-N7100TADCOA (COA means Cosmote, and Phone was bought from Orange?!). It should had ORO (Orange Romania) - as I had Orange startup screen and Orange apps in it
From what I know, you can change the CSC ONLY on OPEN firmware
Well, I got lost between the codes. I know you have to have Product Code and CSC "linked", like Product Code shows the Country and CSC the region, right ?
I don't care if it's Open Austria or Unbranded Romania (does that even exist ? CSC HAT ?), I just want an unbranded stock (and rootable) firmware.
P.S: I tried changing Product Code with Simlock Remote Client and I admit I don't know what i have now and how to check
Any suggestions/help much appreciated !
Bro... I guess yu hve installed dfrrent region frmware ...dats d reason for ur problem

VDI or XEU

Hi folks
I bought S7 from Vodafone Ireland. And I would expect it to use VDI-regioned firmware (but I did not notice what was the original region, my fault). I rooted it - and OTA upgrades do not work for me any more. SmartSwitch keeps upgrading with XEU region. Why? Should I bother? Should I (how?) use VDI-regioned firmware? How does SmartSwitch decide which region to use (and how to change that)?
I would like to understand what's going on...
VDI is Vodafone Ireland region
XEU is generic UK/Ireland region
Any comments are appreciated.

Hi mate
Most roms are multi CSC and when that is the case and you flash with CSC instead of home_csc (odin) a default CSC is applied in your case seems to be XEU, if you use home _csc you keep whatever csc you had
Should not make a big difference , you change your CSC to whatever you want but you need to be root
I understand that it should not matter much. But still...
What I do not understand is when my CSC changed from VDI to XEU? Why did SmartSwitch do that? I am root. How would I change it back to VDI?
I look at the Phone INFO app, it says:
Original CSC Code: VDI
Firmware CSC Code: XEU
Active CSC Code: XEU
I would like to have VDI/VDI/VDI if it is possible...
PS I do not think I ever flashed with full csc. At least it seems SmartSwitch is always doing home_csc. If so, it means the original CSC was XEU, right?

Hi
I would think so XEU was probably the original CSC

I got the info off sammobile but they are performing maintenance this weekend and I just wanted to see if anyone else had another link for version number PDA G930FXXS1DQLC and CSC G930FVFG1DQI1.
I dont have the option to use the premium download right now so thought some lovely soal might sort me out

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
