Oreo 8 - battery drain fixed and VOL LTE working, cocktailed firmware OFFICIAL

Hi All,
This is my first post,
After some reading and testing I have managed to install Oreo 8.0 on my S7 Edge Exynos and maintain battery performance to that of Nougat7.
I have cocktailed Oreo 8 and Nougat 7 firmware together, and maintained an official status on phone all working perfect.
If anyone wants to test this firmware mix,
heres what i used when flashing via Odin.
Oreo 8 AP & BL firmware files BTU region RE8.
Nougat 7 CP DRA9 and CSC home file RB5
I did factory wipe and reset device and restore my apps settings afterwards, all functions are working correctly.
Oreo8 software os, Nougat 7 Modem and CSC for my provider so Vol LTE works!

I hope this post was useful, any questions let me know
All the best!

Any known downsides?

None its all official firmware,
All working perfect so far, Wifi works bluetooth calls etc..
Let me know if theres anything you want me to test.
I have not rooted and not affectted knox so samsung pay etc works fine.
After experiencing Oreo with a battery drain i was tempted to flash Nougat 7 again, then I decided to cocktail the firmware instead as its so much better on 8 than 7..
I used samsungs app to backup my apps / settings apposed to google and the restore works flawlessly.
I guess when testing different firmwares it saves so much time after a factory reset.
I will test further tommorrow and see how it behaves, but so far so good!

Update for any readers / users..
14hrs with light to moderate use and i have 48% battery left.
Vast improvement compared to Oreo 8 modem which was almost 10% with same use.
18% was cell standby.
Video enchancer is switched on and screen resolution FHD.
Im seeking 8.1 official if anyome knows of it on S7edge!

Hello, you can post the samsung chart related to the use of the batteries.
to better understand what happens
Thank you

Can you post instructions on how to update only the modem if we have Oreo OTA update installed? This would be of great help.

You just have to know/find how to install software through the Odin and install just the CP and HOME_CSC (or CSC if you want to factory format) WITHOUT AP and BL.

Will this fix the cell standby drain?

I dont know how to attach a picture using the options on web browser.. or do you use xda app to achieve this?
Cell standby drain is normally vol LTE related as far as i have read before. Go into settings and switch it off?

It really works. I just used the CP and home CSC from Argentina Android 7 latest firmware over the existing Oreo 8.0 from UK. Worked like a charm and now the battery life has increased specially during idle time.

Maybe a stupid, question. If I put together this firmware I'd download oreo btu and take out oreo csc and cp and put in for instance csc home and cp from the Dutch phn nougat conect the phone with odin and flash the firmware and this will work.

Can you put download link for both?...i have the g935fd version

Btw: odin failed on me while flashing csc_home from RB5. Had to flash another csc_home to fix my phone. Phone was bricked. Showed a screen to recover phone with Smart switch. But that didnt work. I somehow managed to get into odin mode again after 10 tries. So beware with flashing.

Hello,
Is it possible to flash only the CP (nougat modem) to fix the oreo cell standby problem?

Question SD Native call recording & CSC (without rooting)

Hi everyone,
Looking for some insight and more educated projections.
I'm in Canada, and our phones (SD) typically didn't get native call recording (or any recording allowed as a matter of fact after Pie was rolled out). I had to purchase a phone from overseas (EXY) and load it with IND CSC for it to work.
Now that India, along with Thailand and most of the other countries that have native call recording enabled, would that mean phones purchased in Canada could have it activated by changing CSC as well?
I understand this is new territory and has never happened before, but I'm just wondering what the thoughts are, or if anyone of you are influencers who already have your hands on a phone sold in the US/Canada can test it out?
Thanks

I've been using this for years. Probably over 10 years or something like that. No root required. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...cord-phone-calls-from-the-phone-line.1441643/

Has this worked for you since updating to Pie or newer on SD and non root device?

Yes. Works perfectly.

I used to flash Indonesia firmware through ODIN and native call recording was perfect in my S21 ultra EUR version. Now ,in S22 ultra with EUX csc (SM-S908B) Im wondering if we can flash Indonesia CSC because I don't know if it is another firmware belonging to SM-S908E versions of s22 ultra.

same for me.
BUT seems like indonesia now uses snapdragon (SM-908E) so (i think) it is not compatible with our eur (i'm in italy OXM) phone.
maybe one of the csc listed here
Enabling Native Call Recorder through CSC
Hello, Thanks to this XDA thread and some other sources I was able to compile a list of CSC codes that enable native call recording on Samsung ROMs. This is the list: Indonesia (XID) Vietnam (XXV) Ukraine (SEK) Israel (ILO) India (INS) Thailand...
forum.xda-developers.com
would be compatible, but at the moment Firja doesn't find anythink.
any suggestions?

Although it is very early as the phone didn't contribute all over the world, it seems that many of the countries which had csc with call recording permissions will take snapdragon version (SM-S908E). F.e . Indonesia, Thailand, India.
This is very sad for the rest of us who have exynos version..
Since now, even Samkey supports s22 ultra for changing CSC..
We will see..

Don't work in Exynos Variants (SM-S908B). Works only with the speakerphone

I'm wondering if it's just band differences for the different SD models because most if not all of the hardware should be the same across the board with the SD variants?
I guess we'll find out soon. I really prefer to get a phone locally in Canada as opposed to having a 908E shipped here...

The OP has an SD but yes good to know.

Hi to ALL
In a different section i ask question about csc with native call recording in Exynos edition.
This is the answer i get
Code:
BTB,BTE,EVR,MEO,MET,SFR,TSI,BKD,BOG,CAU,EUX,EUY,INS,MOB,MOT,MSR,NPL,O2C,PLS,PRT,SEK,SER,SIM,SKZ,SWC,TIM,TOP,VIP,CPW,WWA,WWC,WWD,ACR,AFG,AFR,DKR,ECT,EGY,FWD,ILO,ILP,KSA,LYS,MID,MWD,PAK,SLK,SRR,TUN,TUR,XFA,XFE,XFV,XSG
Among these Call recording available on following
BKD,EGY,ILO,INS,LYS,NPL,SEK,SLK,TUN
So there is a hope... when Samkey will support S22 eventually.
However the fact ,that Frija not funding any firmware yet is little disturbing.
we have to wait and see what the future will bring , hope les than 21 days.... so some of us can change mind and send it back.

Check what CSC got now. Maybe EUX - this is a multi-CSC so you don't have to install firmware, just change CSC with samkey.
To check the CSC dial a code on your device’s dialer itself. code to dial is *#1234#.

Wheeej, successfully changed to "SEK" on "EUX" and call recording is here!

Good news! So SEK (Ukraine) CSC has native call recording . Did you just flash the SEK firmware through ODIN (the SEK firmware can be found to sammobile)? Or you use Samkey (although Samkey says that s22 ultra is not supported yet). Please , let us know

just samkey :- )

I think that odin doesn't work because sek csc is included in oxm multi-csc so, using home_csc, simply has no effect

Question How to flash A07 update without OTA ? Still not receiving ota update.

Hello, i have realme gt neo 2 global version. The current firmware is A06 version, and most people that have global version already get the A07 version of update.
But until now mine still stuck at A06, is there any way to flash the A07 firmware from recovery? Because i cant find the A07 file anywhere..
I need to update to A07 because i want to use deep testing for unlock bootloader..
Anyone has solution ? Thanks

Try using vpn to change your location and clear data and cache for software update from applist. There's a new update with version A.08.

I'm also stuck at A06.

What do you mean by "clear data and cache for software update from applist."?
Also, on Reddit we've been told that OTAs are not linked to locations...

I also have the global version and UI 3.0 was updated 3 days ago

search for "software update" on app list. Make sure to choose "show system apps" from three dots menu. As for vpn, I've tried searching for update after clearing data and cache but no update appear. Redo the steps and connect vpn then I got the update. The logic is, some region or country receive the update early or later according to the schedule from Realme. Maybe it works because the region I chose got the update early.

Which region did you choose? I am in Italy and through "VPN Germany" I managed to go from 05 to 06 but no further.

Hi. I was able to start download Android 12 using a VPN from Madrid, Spain and cleaning the cache of software update app.
Still downloading with 27MB/s . Is ok for a free VPN connection. Thanks for your inputs.

AS far as I Know:
A_07 indian version
A_06 global version.
You can not mix them. I am not sure that the A_08 global. and you will get gradually.

what vpn do you use? and what is your region for your rom?

My rom region is Global one and I had previously A06.
I've bought this phone few days ago as my old Mate met a stone with the display and I need a cheaper phone. And every phone test starts with a firmware upgrade
Anyway I was using for this update "VPN Turkey" app connected to Madrid from RO. Previously I've tried to India and Turkey, without success.
Update was successful and at a fast check everything seems normal.

Feedback: Non of mentioned countries for the vpn worked. Guess I just wait for the update. Really, this regional factor + slow updates annoyed me thinking of switching back to iphone.

I've did these steps :
- Cleared the System updated app cache
- Connected to VPN and wait about 10-20 sec to be sure the route is right
- Initiated search/system update and waited for download once new version was found
Previously I had a06.
I also try it that on Romania, Singapore, India, Turkey and for those wasn't any update available for my phone. And every time cleared the cache and started over.
PS/off: Regarding Iphone, I had few of different versions from work and yep I also like the software support and cameras to be honest. I don't like the interface and limitations in some cases. I guess is more about the needs, as the costs became pretty similar versus high end android phones, unfortunatelly.

It's true what you said. If only ios has better personalization, it would be better. But then again, consider the price its a bit overwhelming and not much to offer besides the software, camera and processor. By the way, what do you set your region from your phone settings?

Region is set to Romania with English language (but I don't think language it is matter anyway)

SamFW.com is great for firmware, but they're not gonna have an AT&T USERDATA file. I'm not sure if everything will work properly without it. I have a source that can get me Samsung firmware for any USA device, but I have to pay him for each one

Flashed and was able to enable WiFi-calling with US Mobile that I previously didn't have the option with July update. This is OneUI 4.1.1 btw, and the bottom of the screen is reserved for taskbar which is NOT enabled for Flip 4 so you get a black bar at the bottom in apps, just so you know.

This morning my flip4 finally received the September security patch along with firmware F721U1UEU1AVIA through OTA. My flip4 is an unlocked US phone, I'm on West coast. I haven't noticed any changes yet.

Question XSG to EGY CSC swap using sim card

Hi all, I have s22 ultra and I bought it from UAE, the CSC is obviously XSG. However I'm using the device now in Egypt and I have an egyptian sim card, I want to change the CSC to EGY so that I can benefit from the options like native call recording which is still working in samsung devices in Egypt
My question is there a way to change the CSC with only using the sim card and without flashing or complicated ways?
I read before that If I have the sim card from certain countries I can change the CSC easily using factory reset, but I don't know the exact steps. So is this still working or is it blocked by Samsung?

You should try out the SamFW app to easely change csc (even without wipe). Backup your phone first of course. If you have test mode it will work. And it's totaly free .
Cheers !

Hi all, I have s22 ultra and I bought it from UAE, the CSC is obviously XSG. However I'm using the device now in Egypt and I have an egyptian sim card, I want to change the CSC to EGY so that I can benefit from the options like native call recording which is still working in samsung devices in Egypt

The tip is 100% cut&paste from mine, health to all
And NO you can't always change back the csc because on some csc the test mode is blocked and then SamFW doesn't work. It relies on the test mode. Sometimes it doesn't work on the current csc, sometimes on the new csc. So it may not work on the current csc or it may not work on the new csc. So you can either get stuck on the current csc or you may be stuck on the new csc. If you have a friend with the new csc he can check if test mode works. But he must have the exact device like you. Also they may block the test mode on the new Android 13 that is coming. You never know !
Cheers.

Well this is very informative, thanks and I hope they never lock the test mode

@DaOldMan @Mem_0 thanks guys it worked like a charm, also for EGY the test mode still there so I guess this means I can go back to XSG of I want
One more question though please, I can still see in the service provider software version it's still EGY/EGY,EGY/XSG/XSG. What does those XSGs means and is there any meaning to their existence?

The last XSG can't be changed unless rooted. It's the "original csc" which is the csc where the device was manufactured. Don't remember now the one before last. But the two with the comma between them are the currently used CSC for Sim1 and Sim2 and they are Egy so you will now use Egy csc for the rom.

I have TNL on the end, can I change that to EUX with root? And than revert to stock to receive OTA's?

No need to change the last CSC code. Those last two are just for Samsung to know where you bought it. It doesn't affect updates or how the rom works. This is affected by the first 3 csc codes.
With root you can change everything. But as I said, it will do nothing for you.

Than why people with EUX/EUX/_/EUX get the update as soon as Samsung releases it and I have to wait 3 days, week or even longer?

Eux is not one csc. It also has associated country called "country ISO" like DBT for Germany, XEO for Poland or BTU for U.K! Which country ISO is yours? There is a guide how to change that btw (no idea if it works or if does any damage, also some say Alliance Shield doesn't work now):
Samsung Pay in german, CSC is EUX fix, 5 minutes
Hello This also works with most Samsung phones If anyone is struggling with Samsung pay being in German and has the csc being EUX, I know how to solve the issue and it only takes about 5 minutes. Basically the csc is set to EUX, which is the new European standard, but for some reason, Samsung...
