[Q] MultiCSC: cannont access to firmware

Just to be short this is my firmware route: JF3 Stock JM1 (through kies, using hack), JPC (kies aswell), JF3 (downgrade trough odin), JM1 (through kies) | here problems start| currently JM7 trough odin.
With the flash to JF3 some bloath of swisscom came along. I tried to erase this by doing a factory reset after the JM1 flash. However this resulted in a unuseable system all I got was FCs as soon as the phone booted. That is why I reflashed using odin. However the error as you can see in the picture remains (it was allready there in JM1 (second flash).
My productcode is and always has been DBT. Which is german. My current firmware is: I9000XWJM7/I9000DBTJM1/I9000XXJM3/I9000XWJM7. However I am dutch so I can use XEU aswell without any probs. I rooted the device with succes and lagfixed using voodoo. I see to options:
1. Is going completely stock trough kies. However it seems that this is impossible as I tried all registry hacks without any success. Whereas previously I flashed without any problem with these hacks. Maybe samsung fixed something at their end?
2. Flashing a different firmware with the right combination of PDA Phone and CSC. I thought I the current combination was suiteble allready so maybe something else went wrong.

Could a mod please fix the bad spell error in the header?

Next time you have to post in the question and answers forum.
You have to flash the correct version of csc to your phone.
Or an easy solution.
From the jm7 guide.
When using *Multi CSC* you need to type *#272*????# after the flash (in dialer). ???? being the current time displayed by phone. For example if the time is currently 6.25pm you need to type *#272*0625#. Then select the desired CSC version from the list and press "Install".

Your phone is configured to use a specific code that is not available in the csc you flashed. If you follow the steps above it will show you a list of codes that are available in the csc you flashed. Select one. If this don't work flash a correct version of the csc file.

I already tried this. Next to that my product code is dbt. I also flashed the dbt csc. So nothing wrong with that. The dir multicsc is referring to does not exist. So either the file for the csc is bad (i got this from the jm7 thread in the end). I need a better csc or I need a way to go completely stock with a reliable official firmware. Some one who can direct me to either one of the solutions?

Change CSC to Germany

Hello Forum!
I bought a Galaxy Note8 Duos on eBay.
After one year I noticed that it originally came from Singapore and not from Germany.
So on CSC I have SIN/SIN/XSP instead of DBT.
Updates are not released there as regularly as in Germany.
How can I change the CSC number without rooting the device and Knox still working?
I have already tried to reinstall the device using Odin and the German CSC file.
But it didn't work. It remains on Singapore.
This question has been asked many times before, but all the answers don't work for me.

I have now by the Singapore Rome no disadvantages, but I would have nevertheless whole gladly a German one.
Is there also a good way to get the bull**** apps like Facebook & Co. To uninstall?
I don't need them and deactivating them is not enough for me.
Does it still work with a PC, USB cable and ADB?

You may first find the newest german firmware adequate for the carrier you are subscribed to, then flash the entire firmware, not only csc, also use the newest ODIN version, that should work

Go to Sammobile and lookup Galaxy Note8 N950F and download the firmware. Once you follow the instructions, you will need to select the CSC that it comes with and NOT HOME CSC as this will keep your original csc. NOTE this will factory reset your device as normal with any csc change.

That's exactly what I did. But it remains with Singapore

I know this thread is a bit old, but does anyone happen to have a working solution in stock now?

Simple if it is a multi rom and has the desired country code on the package. Install a sim card of the country you are/want and factory reset the phone at startup the phone will ask you to change csc to the sims country code that has found if you press yes to change it will reboot and boot on recovery and will apply the region/country csc of the sim card you have. After the boot up your phone will be XXX/XXX/YYY where XXX is the original csc and YYY is the csc of the sim you had installed.
Carefully you will need to reset your phone to achieve that so backup before doing it .
Hope it helped
P.S your desired CSC must be on the original package of the rom installed on the phone, aka a multi rom. Let's say on a N950F international unlocked phone.

Done!
I've finally made it.
My approach:
1. all data backed up
2. the DBT firmware flashed with Odin
3. the device switched off
4. factory reset and wipe of the cache and Dalvic
5. smartphone with SIM inserted newly configured
... it didn't work until here and CSC stayed on Singapore.
6. Dialed the following number over the phone:
*#272*My IMEI number#
7. DBT selected
8. At "Select type of Install" I have chosen "Sales Code Change"
9. smartphoea was restarted and deleted
10. after the new setup I now have DBT/DBT/XSP
Now I'm waiting for the Android 9 update.
Interestingly now the phone number *#272*My IMEI number# does not work anymore.

Note to self: the morale of the story is to start at Step #6 (after manually creating a backup).

I'm not sure if steps 1-5 are necessary for step 6 to be done.

Insert a German sim card then reset the phone. When it boots up for the "first" time with the sim it will recognize it and it will prompt to change the csc to the sims country code (dbt) if you press yes then it will go to recovery and change to DBT CSC and you will have DBT/DBT/DBT .

It's not working.
I tried it several times.
I also reinstalled the firmware 3x.
I also read several times on the net that you can't change the last digit without rooting the device.
I can no longer dial the CSC number.
There is always "Unknown MMI code".

Dunno mate what is happening. I had my note send to Poland for burn in on display when it came back it had DBT/DBT/XEU the only solution to change that was with the factory reset and a German sim card. On Munich service center from Samsung they flashed 3 times the german ROM and nothing was happening, after resetting the phone it asked on boot up to change the csc to DBT and that's it.

ATT Note9 Stuck on N960USQU1CSAA

I'm somehow stuck on N960USQU1CSAA, and each time I check for an update, I'm told that my "software is up to date"...
I have an ATT Sim card, and active ATT Service, but somehow my software updates broke...
How can I get N960USQU1CSC1 or N960USQS1CSD1?
Although, I'd prefer to do update.zip, and not ODIN... Any hope for this?
Thanks in Advance...

Why not ODIN man? It may solve your problem.

Okay, I could odin... Just desperate to get this thing solved... (although confused how I got hung up on an old version)
Where can I get the ATT version of this firmware?
I see a Verizon CSD1 -- is that identical to the ATT CSD1? Should I get OTAs if I install the Verizon version?

Here ya go.

I always factory reset 1st for best results. Many dont like to lose data but me..clean install is best.

I'm downloading this file now (thanks for the link) - am I correct in assuming that this particular file is specific for AT&T-carrier-branded Note9's? I've been pulling my hair out (what little I have left), since I got this phone, it's NEVER received an OTA update - EVER. After much trial from AT&T tech's, their last-ditch solution was factory reset & wait for system to update. So, I'm gonna do something I haven't done since my Note 2, & ODIN this FW.

I have the same exact problem, I downloaded this last night. Does it need to be odin or can I flash through recovery?

Hi All! I believe this was the Verizon version, but I did it anyway.
Had to use ODIN...
GREAT NEWS:
1.I DID NOT LOSE DATA using ODIN (NON ATT VERSIONS DO NOT WIPE DEVICE~!)
2. It booted up with the ATT Logo.
3. I Immediately got a notification of the April update upon reboot, and it downloaded the ATT update, and installed it NO PROBLEM!.

do bl,ap,cp,home_csc.md5
userdata is just more carrier bloat. but might have things u want. but the one that might cause data loss is csc.md5. but home_csc.md5 should keep it.
but its always good to stars fresh sometimes.... so id actually say fill in all slots and USE csc.md5 to wipe clean.

I have a Galaxy Note 9 that was originally an AT&T Phone in USA. I purchased it unlocked in Canada and I use it on Fido Network. The Baseband version is N960USQU1CSAA. It is running One UI 1.0 and Android 9. Is there any way to root this phone? Do I have to use same baseband version?

Samsung Galaxy SM-N950F/DS stucked in boot loop, possibly wrong firmware installed

Hello dears,
One of my clients called me related to a problem with their Note 8 device. At first it sounded like a typically bricked device problem but after taking a closer look on some of the screenshots they've sent me with the device it really got me confused as to what had happened to the device. I don't have the device with me at the moment so the screenshots is all I have until the client arrives but I'm posting this thread in hopes to find out if there is any possibility of fixing the device so that I put the client on the road for nothing.
From what I understood the client tried rooting the phone and it got into a boot loop afterwards (I don't know the exact process of rooting that they've tried, that's all they said to me), they also said that they've been with the device to someone else afterwards and they've tried a few times to resoft the device with some ROM variants on the phone but they've "failed"to fix the device in the end and my client got bored of waiting for them to keep trying.
I thought the phone may be soft bricked and I asked them for some screenshots with the device so that I can see what firmware they were running and also a screenshot with the phone model details on the back and so they sent the screenshots to me and a few extra more.
Now, the first thing that I see is that the phone strangely runs or has ran a DIFFERENT firmware version for a DIFFERENT MODEL. If you look at the screenshots posted bellow, you will see that the phone is a SM-N950F/DS but runs an N9500 Firmware/ROM (Chinese I guess). I am confused, I haven't see that before. Is it possible that the guys working at the phone before managed to install a wrong firmware and hard brick the phone even more?
I see that the ROM that is currently shown on the phone is indeed an official/stock one from Samsung so I also wonder if that's how the phone actually came out on the shelf since the client told me that they've bought it from around that region. But still, the rom is clearly made for another model from the one written on the back of the phone so I don't really know what to say I haven't met with this issue before.
Also, judging by the screenshots offered what would be the steps you guys would make to fix the phone (if possible) and what exact rom version should I flash via Odin if anyone has an idea.
Should I flash the stock N950F/DS firmware or the N9500 CHC/TWN stock firmware? What would be the steps to bring this device back to life ? I appreciate your patience and I hope that the phone can still be revived.
Here are the screenshots (I apologise for the quality but this is what the client has sent at the moment).

He has flashed the wrong filmware/rom.
The fact it can boot into recovery means it is not hard bricked. You should be able to just flash the N950F DS filmware to fix it, which you can get from Sammobile or Updato.

Excuse for asking this but I have two questions:
Could you tell me wich exact version of the firmware should I go for (as there are many versions) and also will the bootloader accept the firmware by flashing it via Odin or are there any chances it may give some dm-verifcation failed error ?
Thank you very much.

Just use the latest version of filmware. It is still rootable if the guy wants to try again.
Just find out what country and network he is on and you can use the advanced search to find the filmware.
I am no expert, so I am unable to answer that question but it should be fine...

Thank you, when my client arrives I will try to flash the N950FXXS5DSB4 (since we're in Romania here).
I take it the DS = Dual Sim and the B4 means that the ROM was created for the version 4 of the bootloader on wich the phone currently runs on. The rom is carrier free and the version is Android 9 (Pie), March 11, 2019).
I hope the bootloader won't reject it. I will come back with an update afterwards.

The DS doesn't refer to Dual Sim, it's just part of Samsung's versioning scheme. The single and dual SIM variants of the Note 8 use the same firmware.
As you said the device is carrier free, then the "ROM" CSC is the one you want to go for, and the latest version of that (DSE5) is available via SamFirm for the "INS" CSC - although you would be getting the "INS" version, it's a standard one that contains multiple CSCs within it, including "ROM".

I managed to flash the same ROM that it's written on the recovery menu via Odin but after passing (takes 5 minutes) and gives no error it boots into recovery. Same thing if I extract the PIT file from CSC and check the re-partition. It passes but it boots me into the recovery menu after restart. If I restart normally afterwards it still loops to the logo and restarts. It shows the logo, vibrates twice, reboots and keeps doing the same thing. Flashing with the latest ROM for SM-N950F/DS (N950FXXU6DSE5) will give the error Re-partition failed in Odin.
Any ideas ?

Similar Issue
Hi, almost similar issue here.
I just bought a second-hand Note 8, but there are discrepancy between the variants. The seller said that he got the phone in Singapore, and the back sticker and etching said it is SM-N950FD. On the Settings > About Phone, it said the model number is SM-N950F/DS/DS. However, the Recovery said that this phone is greatlteks, running N950NKSU3BRA1 and the download mode is in Korean and the Product Name is SM-N950N running custom binary, with FRP Lock and OEM Lock = OFF. Carrier ID is LUC.
I need to return this values to stock so that I can upgrade to Pie. Please advise on which stock ROM should I install in this phone.

Looks like you have a refurbished note 8 korean model N950N with replaced body and faked software N950F .
The motherboard is Korean so don't try flash N950F software on it will fail in odin it won't work.
Only N950N firmware will work only on your phone and you can flash android 9 pie but be careful if you flash N950N firmware you will lose N950F software and also dual sim will no longer will work too because possibly your dual sim also converted by software not Hardware. Because there's no N950N Exists with dual sim model.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Software update

I can't update my Android OS to 11 it's still on Android 10. When I tried going to Phone Settings > Software updates> Download and install> Your software is up to date. Is there a way to get this Android 11 or 12 update to my device Baseband Version. G973USQS4ETK2

Looks like you have a USA phone, I assume on a USA network? Looks like USCellular?
What carrier and country are you in? I see there are updates for your firmware as recent as this month... that would be Android 11. 12 is not on US phones yet.

Its under T-mobile US I guess I was able to look the information up and I saw the baseband version is under T-mobile. Is there a way to patch Android 11 or even 12 to this cause I also tried rooting this but I'm having a hard time downloading stuffs.

It stopped Updating since this last patch.

First off, if you want to root, I think you will be able to - your BL version is 4 (5th from end number in the build version or the baseband version). It's not free to root this way, but I believe you can. However, if you do that, then I don't think you can update to any newer version of stock ROM, because you cannot update the bootloader (which is part of the other releases). Also not, rooting may wipe your phone too.
As for the other question, show me your full software info page, so I can see the CSC codes and other things. I want to make sure they make sense.
My guess is that because you have a U phone (as opposed to U1 with a multi-CSC setup) that you would not be able to patch/update the phone. This is because the U is typically locked to the carrier updates, and if it's looking for USCellular, that would explain why your TMo carrier can't update it. You could reflash to a U1 ROM using ODIN, and this should allow updating in the future, but it will likely require a wipe (you could try an upgrade flash, but I don't recall if this is possible from U to U1). This will also update the bootloader which means you can't root today, but you would be up to date.
So, decide how you want to go first... because you can't have both (root + updated... unless you do custom roms, which I am not versed in, but you are liklely going to give up some things with custom roms, from the superficial reading I've done there)

I think it would be best to move from U to U1 to still have updates.

So my phone looked much like yours does, xaa/xaa/tmb. Couldn't get updates either. I used patched Odin and flashed latest xaa version, and used 'home' csc, resulting in keeping user data.
I wanted to keep everything much as it was because using Mint Siim, I'm able to get voip / vowifi, but it also does 'carrier aggregation', so I get a little LTE+ icon indicating such, signal is very good also. Doing the update kept everything working as it was.
I don't plan on rooting so the bump in BL version didn't care about.
cheers

I agree with @AsItLies - your phone looks like it's already on a multi-CSC ROM (XAA). Not sure why it's not updating, but since you're already there, you should be able to do the Odin update as an upgrade, using the "home" CSC and it should update the ROM at the very least. Ideally, your phone should show TMB/TMB/TMB, because the first one is the current SIM, the second is the carrier, and the third is the original CSC (which you can't change anyway)... for example, mine shows TFN/TFN/SPR (Tracfone aka Total Wireless, in my case). My ROM is a U1, though... maybe that's why both of yours is not changing the XAA properly?
I'd say, give the U1 a shot, with the HOME CSC and upgrade mode in ODIN and see if that works. But before you do that, BACKUP EVERYTHING YOU NEED, just in case.
I would recommend using Frija to download the ROM (much faster than web downloads)... but the rest of the info is available on various threads here on XDA. I would recommend reading through the guide posts here THOROUGHLY before doing anything: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/g973u-and-g973u1-firmware-links-here.3905852/
If you still have questions, you can ask there or here...
@AsItLies are you on a U or U1 ROM? Just curious...

@schwinn8 it's funny you should ask that, because when I first got my phone it said 973U. Now, after the update I described above, it says 973U1.
I'm guessing that indication isn't used to determine if an update is available, could be wrong, but I *think* an update just depends on if it was originally U or U1, and you're running the original firmware. So anything that is multi csc but was originally a U, I don't think that will OTA update (only manually with patched Odin).
Anyway, there are very few updates left, so not too worried about it, doing it manually is quite easy. Pretty sure A12 will be the last we'll see.

Agreed, not a big deal regarding updates now... but was just curious... I'm surprised to see you're still showing XAA/XAA... I figured those would change.
I had issues with one of my wife's phones (we bought two S10+ phones at the same time)... hers refused to switch to TFN for some reason. Sadly, she NEEDED it because she used the old-fashioned voicemail and app. I could see the app on my phone (where the CSC change worked fine) so I knew what I needed, but couldn't get it to happen. I ended up returning that phone (Ebay) and getting one that was already setup for TFN... and that one is fine. Funny thing, I think it was an XAA as well, but I don't remember now).
I've also seen a thread here that says CSC won't change anymore for users. But even that post has very mixed info... as my experience confirmed. So weird.

I don't know what am I doing hahah. I tried flashing in ODIN but it failed and trying to click start again saying SetupConnection... and nothing happens... I think it has to to with this?.

I don't know what "this" you're referring to? Did you read up about how to use ODIN? Did you watch any videos on it via Youtube (if that's your preference)? Did you install drivers?

I did two thing but I dont know which is which fixed it I downloaded an Update manually via Frija for SM-G973U (that I don't know it even exist bcxz sammobile doesn't have a record of it) and the 2nd one is I downloaded Odin3 v3.13.3 to flash the downloaded software. (previously i was using Odin3 v3.14.1)

I'm not sure, but it sounds like you figured it out? Congrats... yes Frija will sometimes get you a newer version than is normally seen. Or a version specific to your phone. Not a bad thing.
One thing I will warn you, I have read that many people are having issues with apps and features in Android 12... I'd recommend NOT getting that if you can prevent it. I prefer to let other people deal with the bugs before I have to get into them... but that's just me.
