I read on another site where this doesn’t work on US versions of the S7. Is that true?
Tha’s not true it will work fine on US version
Has anyone tried this on US Verizon version of S7 Edge?
So I downloaded the Marshmallow version and I followed all the steps to the point, but still i have Android f***** 7… tips?
Am i supposed to use the CSC file, or the HOME_CSC file ?
is my all apps, images and everything will be lost?
Yes everything in Internal storage will be wiped
After this, how do you prevent the s7 from automatically downloading and asking you repeatedly to do software update again?
Nothing for Canada???
Sooooo, if I were to get a stable stock firmware for 6.0.1 for s7 active would this work for that?
