Hi all,
I bought Galaxy S7 Snapdragon SM-G9300 model. But when i opened and setup the phone, i couldn't see APPS button and i can't make any firmware update in settings !!
I have 2 years warranty and i can't root the phone. So, is there any official way to make this phone a normal S7 !?
I need your advices. Thanks

You can root the phone and method is in a chinese website. I can show you because i`m chinese. And if you want to update you can use Odin to flash newest ROM.

You could try flashing firmware with Odin, it doesn't require root and won't affect warranty. http://updato.com has firmware files for various models and countries, as well as a flashing guide
I already flashed many times with Odin but in "Sammobile" and in "Uptado" when i search SM-G9300, there is only OPEN CHINA firmwares.Even i try them, all of them are being installed with Chinese settings and without Google apps.

I can root also.I know it. Thanks for the offer :)
All i need is a free open rom with google playstore and google apps.

Chinese open rom ROM need you to install play store manually and other google apps.

how did you solve the problem? which version did you install and does it have langugage support, google apps and apps drawer? @KpttpK
Selam Alper,

I downloaded the latest firmware from SAMMOBILE the rooted it. After root, you can select Turkish language and do many other things.
