Gear VR - Network Error

I've searched all over, and can't find a solution to my problem.
Finally received my Gear VR, plugged in my phone, need to take it out to install VR apps, network error.
Some background:
- I'm from South Africa, mobile operator Vodacom. Vodacom has bloat, which sucks, so I install the UK BTU rom from sammobile.
- After I received the error, I reinstalled the Vodacom version from sammobile, no luck.
- Factory reset, no luck.
- No apps of any kind (facebook or otherwise) are disabled on the phone.
Any other suggestions?

i have the same problem. when i've got my s7 edge from H3G italy. my gear vr used to work, however, i have flashed the lated firmware from france and when i tried to attach my gear vr ang tried to install the required program, i got network error. i tried using wifi only, mobile data only and both wifi and mobile data toggling the download booster but to no avail.

I have the exact same problem. Any fix?

Solved my problem. I checked my phone info using app in the playstore and found out i have no csc, modem and other info except the baseband. So i decided to look for a complete firmware and reflashed on my phone complete with boot loader, csc, modem and base firmware. Now gear vr has been installed.

read below how to do this without re-flashing
thanks @ayongkot - missing CSC version was also problem in my phone
If you have certain custom FW, or you don't flash CSC partition to avoid crapware,
you might come up with network error
this file is used to show the CSC version:
/system/csc/sales_code.dat
If you are missing it, that's the cause of this mystique "network error"
- If you have root
create the file ( or use one from attachment. Unzip it first. )
the content of the file is
Code:
DDE
ending with a UNIX-style NewLine (the file is 4 bytes long)
DDE was in my phone. It's for German T-mobile. But I don't think it would matter what country and OP you'll use.
Just for reference, though this file contains DDE, the FW I flashed is showing CSC version: DDX.
If you don't have root
, still no need to reflash the whole FW
unpack only CSC (it's in cache partition) from the FW. use tar with ustar to pack it to tar and flash to phone.
be sure to backup your data before, changing CSC might trigger re-format.

Hello
Same problem in Brazil.
I could not find "/system/csc/sales_code.dat" in my phone.
Please could you teach me how I can find out this way?
Thanks.
JM

@JM Machado @burnoutsyndrome
If you can't find the file, than it's the same problem as described here.
Follow the instructions and you should be OK.
I re-wrote my original message, Msg #7, two posts up from here, to make it more understandable. I Also added an attachment.

It's working now! I created a backup and flashed the CSC part of a german T-Mobile firmware. It erased all my content, but after copying my backup to my S7 Edge, everything was fine, and the download of the Gear VR is working now! Now I have DDE as CSC code. Thanks to papo for his support!

S7 Edge
Dear Papo
Thank you for your support.
I was traveling and not able to reply back.
I will try to fix the problem having your information.
If I will not able to fix it, I let you know.
Thank you again.
Best Regards.
JM

Definitely a CSC problem, use this tool to install proper CSC - worked great for me

I really don't understand any of this, but I can tell that you guys somehow fixed the problem and I REALLY wanna get it fixed as well.
Would any of you mind helping out a poorly educated Android user?

Nah it ain't. And my current software version is: G935FXXU1BP12//G935FXXU1BPHJ if that's any help?

Guys please help me man, I've been drooling over my Gear VR for two days now. There MUST be a less complicated fix out there somewhere.

Can you somehow simplify this entire instruction for any noob to understand it?

use tar with ustar to pack it to tar and flash to phone.
I have already downloaded CSCSelection Zip file which you have uploaded, now could you please tell me the next step in detail that how to replace that csc file in my samsung device.

To update the software
Make sure your device is sufficiently charged and connected to Wi-Fi.
From the device home screen, pull down the notification shade and tap Settings.
Scroll to the System category and tap About device.
Tap Software update > Check for updates.
Follow the on-screen prompts to download and install the software update.
The device automatically restarts once the new software successfully installs.

Need the current firmware for note 8 Singapore XSP

Last week I installed a requested security update after that I root and installed a custom rom but unfortunately I restart the phone and send me to 7 days jail now when I try to reflash the original firmware became an error sw rev. binary 2 binary 3 I been downloading the current firmware from samfirm but I still have the problem look like samfirm has the 2017 /20/12 it still don't have the current firmware, or what can be wrong?
Thank you in advance!
Jose

If it's an older fw then you probably can't downgrade. If SamFirm doesn't have the new version then have you checked other places like sammobile?

Thank you for the reply, I mean Sammobile that's where I been downloading the firmware but it seems that the don't have the current update, is any other place where I can get the current firmware?

You can also try Updato (.com), or the SamFirm tool (google it) for Samsung firmware downloads, although I am not sure if they have anything more recent than Sammobile. Worth checking though. Worst case, those sites should eventually post the updated firmware you installed, but I am not sure how long it takes for them to appear. I can't imagine it taking too long. If not maybe someone else can chime in

Thank you, still have no luck I guess I have to wait until sammobile release the new firmware with the January security update for Singapore (XSP)

current software is up to date problem please help

Have you tried using Samsung's Smart Switch app and seeing if there's an update from there? (might take a while before it shows up, so be patient)

Try an open firmware via Odin of your country if you have a Exynos SOC.
Flash via Odin with your prepaid sim card installed. Normally your csc code changed after this.
Use JDownloader to download free fw updates like websites sammobile.
JDownloader still has a crc check to beware corrupt download archiv.

If he purchased the phone in the US from AT&T as he stated, it won't be an Exynos, UT yes he can use Odin and update manually.

Same is the case with me like OP but I do get notification on Smart Switch that a new update is available. The size is 5GB which means it's a full ROM and not just OTA equivalent file. I need to know if installing the update will wipe the phone or not.
There's no mentioning of this aspect anywhere in Smart Switch help section or on the update notification.

thanks man I've flash U1 software its wiped everything but it works well :good:
now will i receive OTA future updates or i have to do it manually ?

If you want to test for OTA updates, use "settings - software update" manually...
Also, if you want Android 10 beta, download Samsung members app in playstore and register for open beta.
For safe debugging: Activate developer options - oem unlock!
Please use the thanks button... [emoji6]
Have fun and no problem.

I tried to install One UI 3 android 11 and didn't let me install it's said current software is up to date, this is AT&T carriers so please help me, thank you.

SM-N950F Note 8 UK update help

Hi,
I have a note 8 (SM-N950F) UK. It's unlocked and is still on Android 8.0.0 and the security patch version is 01/04/2018.
When I try do an OTA update it says I've got the latest version of the software installed. I've downloaded Samsung Smart Switch and and that says "Your device software is up to date: RD7(XEU)
I don't think my note 8 has a OEM version of the rom on it. (When I originally got it, I believe it was on the EE network, but wasn't locked to that network).
I was wondering if anybody can help me with the fact i can't seem to update it to Android version to 9 or update the security software.
The details are:
AP: N950FXXU3CRD7
CP: N950FXXU3CRB9
CSC: N950FOXM3CRDC
Don't really know what the above means, but would like to update the ROM to Android 9.
Many thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
Terry.

BACKUP First!!
On PC: (computer)
-Download samfirm.exe or frija
-Download latest Odin version (can be found in sammobile.com firmware section or google search)
-Open up samfirm.exe or frija use : SM-N950F and XEU in the search fields and download file (~4.8 GB File) and unzip the zip file.
-Open Odin and put PHONE in download mode and connect to PC.
-Place the 4 files in its correct place:
BL = BL-FILE
AP = AP-FILE
CP = CP-FILE
CSC = CSC-FILE or HOME-CSC FILE **
** CSC-FILE WILL DELETE EVERYTHING and bring back to factory settings (like doing factory reset!) Backup first before choosing this file.
** HOME-CSC FILE will keep data intact
So choose only ONE File!!!
If you run into bugs after update do a factory reset!
They're YouTube guides on how to use Odin and samfirm.exe or frija!
But beware that you CAN NOT go back to android 8 period! So make sure that you really want to go to pie!!

Just to add to what Bluephnx said, the link below will help you on how to use Odin, but also has the download link for SamFirm. (For region in Samfirm, use either XEU, which is UK and Ireland, or BTU, which is UK, or you will get carrier bloatware. You can obviously flash carrier filmware if you choose)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3677072

Many thanks for that. Much appreciated.
I'll give what you suggest a go.
Really don't understand why I can't do it OTA tho', would there be something wrong with my phone to stop OTA update working?
And is there any reason not to go to Pie (9) and stick on 8 that you know of?

It just glitches/bugs out sometimes. It has happened to me before, but once flashing via Odin, it usually resolves the OTA problem. You could try a factory reset, which can sometimes resolve the OTA bug, just back your data up first.
I honestly can't remember what Oreo was like to make a comparison for you, but some people do hate Pie, where I have been very happy with it since it's launch.
Here is a little explanation of Pie on the Note 8 on YT that you may find useful.

Did you ever do the OTA update yourself before on that phone or did you just buy it on AP: N950FXXU3CRD7 CP: N950FXXU3CRB9 CSC: N950FOXM3CRDC? If it's been that way since you got it then the most likely answer is that someone else updated it using a version of firmware that can't update via OTA and the only way to fix that is to use odin and flash the latest version of firmware.
