Grab your region's version, then flash via Odin.
I find it easier to not flash the latest version, but to an older version (4.1.1) just to make it feel "Stock-ier".

That looks like your baseband... Find the ART code on your box, the last three letters is your original CSC.

Perhaps in the east that is more than alight. But here if it's not the original CSC and there is no record of a service centre changing it you are screwed.

i went to the site samsungupdates.com, which is where i get all my stock roms, but there are too many options to choose from! i need the one im using now, as it has the languages i need, (im thinking of upgrading to a custom rom, but i want to be able to go back to my stock rom with a stock flash and a nandroid in case i dont like the other roms.)
so i have a screenshot of my current settings, can someone please tell me which is the one im using?!?!
what are the differences between these?

I guess differences between them is the three letter country code depending on country/carrier (CSC)

yeah, but on the site when you hold the mouse over the three letters a pop up tells you what region, and these all said n/a.

OK. What country are you in, and is the phone preloaded with carrier specific bloatware?
Take a look at sammobile.
Its easier to find out which one it is.

Hmm.. You're on stock ROM now right?
Dial *#1234# in phone. It should show you some info about pda, baseband and csc version.

I can assure you that the 19915/Galaxy_S_3_Mini_Latin/GT-I8190L/IUS/I8190LUBAMH1 version comes without carrier bloatware. It's from Iusacell (Mexico) and is the one I use when unroot and stuff.
Can't be sure for the others, though.
I don't really care about CSC anymore. ROMs work as they are supposed to, so no worries here.

Nope: it's a different model (hence -N- instead of -F-)
Why didn't you buy the SM-N950F ?

i bought it from South Korea, the 256Gb unlocked version. Now just trying to debrand it.
If you're worried about bloat, I'd suggest BK Disabler from the PlayStore or if you are more comfortable, ADB.
Alternately, I am inclined to agree with @henklbr; a F branded Note would give you root and less bloat.
Not sure where you guys got that idea, it is quite possible to flash different firmware between similar models. You can indeed flash different CSC as well, assuming it is ported for the new phone so that the flash doesn't mess up any partiotions.
Please don't spread misinformation just because you don't know how things work or how to do something.

i'm in a similar boat. I bought the N950N Korean variant 256gb model but i live in australia and they werent selling that variant here. I want to flash the N950F (australian non carrier firmware). its downloading now but not sure if it will work, i will report back here. I dont have positive hopes though since that rom is for 64gb models im not sure if it will mess the partitions for my 256gb model. it will be interesting to know if anyone has been successful before

Odin won't let you flash it but you can use Odin to flash TWRP, and then use TWRP to flash a zip of a 950F ROM.

Firmware.
As for the CSC youll need to find OUT what yours is
but it should work the same as the guide you followed...
GLW is the Canadian CSC from what I see here.
di you remember where you got the phone or who the providor was?
You see, on BB110 people made us exe files where you plug the phone in click and it's automated. Android seems to be a lot different. What is a CSC and GLW? I really have no clue. I know I shouldn't have done this if I wasn't ready for it, but, I wanted to have the latest stuff.
keeps logging me out everytime I try and download the firmware. YAY. Delays and setback piss me right off.
Figured out my issue, How do I flash this patch/file/whatever it is. Over the current one?
EDIT: # hours to download unless I fork over 20 dollars. YAY, MORE BLOODY WAITING.

I think that's where you enter CSC code but it's been a while since I used it. A quick search online should help. CSC is Consumer Software Customization, basically a folder in the software that controls/sets specific features and settings for your region/carrier.
No worries if you flashed different firmware that changed your model number. When you flash stock it will change it back. U.S. and Canada Note 8s are essentially the same at a hardware level.
Just wondering if anyone has recently changed their CSC to allow them quickest access to updates and the Beta program?
My CSC is for O2 UK and I'd rather it was generic.
Being from the UK mine is an Exynos model.

Thanks I may try it myself. How do you buy credits for Samkey? Do I really have to buy 45 dollars worth? That's the lowest I could see.
Does the XID CSC change affects the phone ? I mean the phone still remains a dual SIM phone?
Also, volte and WiFi calling are still there to XID CSC?
