[Q] NetworkLock in CSC customer.xml file?

I found this little bit in the customer.xml of BMC (Bell Canada) CSC
Code:
<Security>
<NbNetworkLock>4</NbNetworkLock>
<NetworkLock>302610</NetworkLock>
<NetworkLock>204040</NetworkLock>
<NetworkLock>001010</NetworkLock>
<NetworkLock>999990</NetworkLock>
</Security>
Anybody know what this means? I was planning on using this csc.

As near as I can understand, those are the codes that set what network the phone can use. The first number (302610) is Bell Canada, the second (204040) is for Vodafone Netherlands I think, which was likely the market that specific firmware was first developed for. The next number (001010) is a test band and I have no idea what the last one (999990) is, but likely it is a placeholder or another test band.
I also do not know what the nbnetworklock code means, but as I have seen many different single digits on the examples I looked at, I doubt it is anything to worry overly much about.
Beyond all that, this code sequence seems to be very very normal for a CSC and I see no reason it should stop you from using the CSC, assuming of course you want to use the phone on Bell Canada.

Mine just has a large list of the local networks no lock mentioned .

Thank's the info.

[Q] Difference between 4A.xxx and 4T.xxx basebands

Hello all, i have a question. I live in Italy, but my One m7 have the 4T.28.3218.04_10.33E.1718.01L baseband. AFAIK this baseband is for T-Mobile devices, but T-Mobile is not available in Italy. I know that WWE versions of basebands starts with 4A. So, there is a difference between these two vesrions? I'm asking for this because i have some issues with my device. Sometimes mobile data doesn't work, it seems that the phone sends requests but cannot receive any answer, so nothing works (internet, instant messaging, etc..) but phone calling works. If i turn off mobile data for some seconds, then i turn on again, all works but for a couple of minutes, then it hangs again. Could be this problem related to "wrong" baseband?
Thanks for your attention and sorry for my bad english, hope you can understand my problem.

Hey,
I would like to know about that difference too I can't find the last WWE Baseband, and mine start with a "4T" wich is related to T-mobile.
I would like to find the wwe one I guess it could help for a better phone network, but I'm not sure this difference of letter has a real meaning.

Sm-n9208 update can't receive calls

Hoping someone can help me here. I have the dual note 5 sm-n9208. I was told by a tmobile representative that my phone is one of the phone affected by the latest upgrade and makes it non compatible with the cell tower. Basically I can only run 2g on my phone, plz is there a rom that will fix this. I can't afford to purchase a new phone rite now. Alil of what I'm facing: using 4g I can use the internet, calls go straight to voicemail, outgoing calls take a while to connect. Under 2g can't search the web, but can make and receive calls. Did a master reset and the phone came back in Chinese, which lead me to the tmobile store. The language and input was missing. Thanks for reading this and your help. ?

Thanks for this, I was able to fine this info.
It gave me:

CP
CSC: N9208ZZT3CQE4
How do I make sure it was flashed correctly.

There are many versions of N9208, this model was sold in india, taiwan, south east asia countries, etc. Check first country CSC of your phone, maybe it was flashed with a wrong firmware

Can't change the Service Provider CSC on my note SM-N960F

So I bought a brand new Sim-free sealed note 9 from eBay last week here in Germany. Take it from the box turn the phone on and see the OPTUS logo when I power it on and then I was thrilled like WTF is this a fake phone? (didn't know what that logo is) so I searched on google and found out that is just an Australian service provider so was relaxed and then I put different SIM card in the phone and I can do phone calls and use mobile data without any problems. The only problem is that the service provider SW is Locked on Optus Australia (OPS). I downloaded different stock firmware's from SamMobile for Germany (DBT), UK (BTU) Even Australia (XSA) and still in settings at the software info/service provider is shown: OPS/OPS,OPS/OPS and every time when I turn the Phone ON/OFF the annoying OPTUS logo is shown... I tried just only flashing the CSC in Odin but still no changes... I contact the buyer on eBay and he is willing to take the phone back and full refund me. But I want to keep the phone really like the Note 9. Please help me :angel:

You have to change the CSC using a combination file ROM, as they use a multi-CSC now. In some ways, it's better than the old system but in others, it's worse.
This took me ages to figure out but after finding a guide and the right combination ROM (must match the current bootloader version else it won't boot), it worked.
Here's the thread that helped me: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...9-s9-csc-only-same-model-numbers-csc.3870836/
Look through all the comments if you have issues. I believe I mentioned, somewhere in that thread, the exact steps I took to make it work.
Newer versions of SamFirm have a combination ROM download option to simplify finding one (new SamFirm builds don't seem to be on the website yet but the guy who maintains it now also has a YouTube channel where he posts links. Seems to be fine except the very latest version seems a bit ad-filled).
Just so you're aware, the N960F shouldn't be carrier-locked. You just can't change the CSC like older phones could. S7 and Note 7 were the last Samsung phones that used the old CSC system, if I remember correctly. Getting rid of the carrier logo is worth it, though, in my opinion.

SM-R845U (LTE US model) firmware update

Hi guys,
I bought the GW3 from Amazon US and the firmware is stuck at the R845USQU1BTK2 which is still Tizen 5.5.0.1.
Any clue why is this happening?
Do you suggest me to change CSC so that I get the updates?
Thanks in advance

It could well be that an update for your model on the current CSC hasn't come out yet.
Check it here, and change the CSC to yours (use capitals).
I don't think it is wise to change the CSC for an LTE watch if you use the LTE functionality (provider bound) . I'd just wait until your provider comes with an update.

Thanks a lot for your feedback!
It just sounds weird to me that they are leaving behind this model and wanted to check if it's just me or if mommy Samsung is just slow.
For the change of CSC, theoretically it shouldn't be an issue as the watch is unlocked (no provider branded)...so I don't think it should be linked to a specific provider and the change of CSC shouldn't affect negatively the LTE functionality.
At least this is what I think...
I was trying to get some comfort from you guys before jumping into the adventure....
