welcome alecksander
If you flash "brand" your phone- you will lost ALL your files. Contacts you can auto sync over your Live ID.
You can flash for sample the T-Mobile Germany ROM (has InternetSharing) and after flash you can set REGIO + Language + Display Language to ITALIANO. After this set, you can with the app network profile set your provider ....
If you like you can also unlock it .... here you can find all details:
[GUIDE]Unlock/InternetSharing/Backup your OMNIA 7 with branded/unbranded ROM on Mangohttp://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=820#
cheers, miro
Thanks Miro, can u help me to "translate" the info about my phone?
/cheer
Ale
thank you alecksander
yes .......... the guide is really long, but if you do it (careful) step by step- you got it!
is not really inportant to know it .........PDA I8700XXKI2 = ROM Version 2011 September
CSC I8700DBTKI2= Vietnam
the rest i dont know
if you brand T mobile and you don't have a T mobile DE SIM the customized applications will not work what's the point to be branded outside germany??

Yes U can

Nice, but to doing this, the phone must be unlocked to deploy a reg editor ....

Hi do you know the DDO for Vivacom bulgaria provider ?
yes
VVT - Vivacom Bulgaria
Samsung Omnia 7 Firmware XXJJ6 ALL PROVIDERS
Included providers CSC's: in this ROM (7004 pre- NODO):
CRO - T-Mobile Croatia DTM - T-Mobile Germany TMH - T-Mobile Hungary TMU - T-Mobile United Kingdom TMZ - T-Mobile Czech Republic VVT - Vivacom Bulgaria XEC - Movistar Spain
is fro this thread: Omnia 7 i8700 ALL VERSIONS AND CSCs RETAIL ROMs (now even some NODO)
You asked for a H3G Ita ROM. So i'm going to tell you exactly how to flash it. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152493 download everything and flash the phone using this ENGINEER ROM (KC1-KC2) but remember to choose this csc CSC_I8700HUIKC1.csc not the H3G one, beacuse the first means "Hutchinson Italy/H3G Italy" while the second means "H3G UK".
After flashed check for updates in zune and you will update to a PRODUCT ROM until KI2/KI3 automatically.
I hope this has been helpful
ty for help, atm i flashed and now i have this:
CSC: I8700ITVKI2
When i have some time i'll do what ilboy said.
tysm to all for help ^^
ilboy, a noob question: with I flash with the h3g ita csc, It will add boot logo and h3g program into the phone?
ty
Sorry i can't tell you because i cleaned those files. Fortunately you can discover it on your own. Open I8700HUIKC1.csc using 7-zip and look for "3 logo.bmp or .jpg". If you find inside it something like that you will have it, if not you won't have it
Thanks again for answer!
Now I'm thinking to use the Vodafone IT Csc (CSC_I8700OMNKC1 is correct?) cuz i bought Lumia 800 branded 3Ita..
see you
Not really. You cannot use samsung csc on a nokia phone. I guess nokia doesn't even use this system to "brand" phones. And you can use a branded csc ONLY if your phone WAS BRANDED. I mean if you bought an Omnia 7 branded than you de-branded it and you want it to be re-branded again, yes that would be possible. If you bought a de-branded Omnia 7 and you want to brand it, that wouldn't be possible: i mean you can install VOD csc but you wouldn't be able to get vodafone apps on marketplace. Have i been clear?
Yes it was all clear...and I wrote wrong...i meant, now i have a Lumia branded h3g and using in it an h3g usim, in my Omnia 7 i'm using a vodafone sim so i'm thinking to "brand" the omnia 7 with the Vodafone csc, the samsung csc...

Thanks for the link !
I used it and now I got an h3g italy branded boot with wifi tether option (I must still test tether)
If anyone wants to try:
- use "WP7 Downloader Ver 7.41 for Publish (Add OASIS Latin).rar"
- tick "phone boot", "phone", "eboot" and "pda"
- choose i8700XXKC2_REV02.bin, EBOOT_I8700XXKC2_CO04_REV02_sec.eb0, PDA_I8700XXKC2_sec.nb0 and CSC_I8700HUIKC1.csc
- put the phone in "download mode" and press START !!!
- once flashed, upgrade it all via zune
Tether does not work (pc connects to omnia7 wifi network but w/o internet) and wifi connection is having problems:
After a few minutes internet via wifi stops working. If I disable and re-enable wifi internet connection starts again, but still, for just a few minutes
should I choose different pad, eboot or bin ?
What's strange is that I can always connect to router admin page, it's a merely internet realated problem
Update:
Wifi works in the morning but not in the evening so it might be a dsl provider problem (weird)
Tether works when connecting a droid tablet but doesn't when connecting a win7 netbook so it might be a 3g restriction issue.
I am going to buy a galaxy camera but I've some questions about this product.
1) I live in Italy and I found a galaxy camera imported from another country in a shopping online site (so I can save money).
If I buy it, can I use an Italian sim card? So is the camera sim/region locked?
2) Is 4G/LTE supported? And has anyone tried how fast it is?
3) I saw on sammobile that latest Italian kies firmware was released this month, January 2013. Can I flash the Italian firmware also if galaxy camera is not an Italian product?
4) Does flashing a new firmware with Kies increase the download counter? So do I lose my warranty in this way? And can I reset counter with jig o triangle away?

1) I live in Italy and I found a galaxy camera imported from another country in a shopping online site (so I can save money).
If I buy it, can I use an Italian sim card? So is the camera sim/region locked? - Yes you can, it's unlocked
2) Is 4G/LTE supported? And has anyone tried how fast it is? Only on the EK-GC120
3) I saw on sammobile that latest Italian kies firmware was released this month, January 2013. Can I flash the Italian firmware also if galaxy camera is not an Italian product? Flash away! You can flash what you like
4) Does flashing a new firmware with Kies increase the download counter? So do I lose my warranty in this way? And can I reset counter with jig o triangle away? It only increases if you put something custom on there, like if you root it, but it can be reset with "Triangle Away"
1: if it's unlocked(usually is) you can use any(micro) SIM, but 4G might not be the right frequency.
2: there are 3G and 4G versions, so for 4G you need to get the 4G version and check if it supports the frequencies used by your carrier.
3: only if it's the exact same model.
I used the UK update on my Dutch camera and it works fine.
4: flashing a firmware with kies should always be safe.
if kies increases your counter Samsung made a mistake and can't legally void your warranty.
kies however can only flash updates for the region your camera is from to my knowledge.
you can use Odin to flash a different region rom, which is safe as long as the rom is an unmodified stock rom.
depending on which rom you have installed triangle away may or may not work, it should work on older roms and will most likely receive updates(if it didn't already) for newer roms.
a little note on region switching though: there really is not much need if it's a European version.
all European roms include a very large list of languages in settings, which includes Italian.
the only region that really has any advantage would be UK, because they got the last big update before anyone else.
R: Some questions...
Thanks for your answers. So is the latest UK firmware the best? I thought it was the Italian one because I think it's the latest released in Europe.

Can't really comment on that as I've not personally tried the Italian one to make an informed comparison. Usually firmware released around the same time, are essentially the same firmware just with specific region changes.
But looking at the change list numbers, there maybe enough of a difference to say there are more code changes in the latest Italian release.
Only way to know which is "better", is to try them both out yourself, unless someone here who has tried both, can answer that question for you.

Hi,
is there a way to backup the efs-folder ?
hi. sorry for this noob question because i am kinda new to samsung. my question is would it be possible to change csc from tgy to xtc? my note 9 is a snapdragon variant from hongkong. and i am currently in the philippines. and if this is possible will there be any problems like ota update and future updates of the phone? thank you and hoping anyone can enlighten me with this matter.
Why would you want to do this? As you can still receive OTA updates for your device, no matter where you are in the world. I am currently using the Korean Note 8 N950N in Hong Kong and I am still receiving OTA updates from Korea.
hi @iceepyon. thank you for your reply. my problem is if i am using samsung members app the support team answering me is from samsung hong kong and not from samsung philippines which is where i am. if i need repairs and stuff i wont be able to go to hong kong as i am here in the philippines. samsung benefits is not working as well. and some of samsung app like the galaxy app is showing hong kong currency not in peso. now my question is if i change my csc to philippines will i be able to use features that is for the local unit on my hong kong unit?

You won't be able to get support from Samsung Philippines anyway as they will be able to find out that you have a Hong Kong device when they check the IMEI number of your device.
oh ok. well i guess i am stuck with it. thanks @iceepyon.

Isn't the new OS's changing CSC when putting a different region/country SIM on the next reboot, when you click YES on first boot(clean boot with the new SIM) to reset and change the CSC of the phone ?! It is one time only use after pressing NO or YES it will not show it again before wiping the phone again. My phone a DBT was set to XEO after a week on service center in Poland, even flashing it multiple times it wouldn't change from it, till I put my Germany SIM and press YES. Hope it helped a bit
It will change the last of them not all CSC
My was
DBT/DBT/XEO
and normal is
DBT/DBT/DBT
I got Canadian N960W Note 9 (Snapdragon) and first time I put Croatian SIM card CSC hasn't changed.
PDA: N960WVLU1ARJA
Active CSC: BMC (Bell Mobility Canada)
I'm still looking if there is a way to inject local CSC (SEE or DHR) into this firmware in order to get volte/vowifi. I don't really care about updates/OTA.

Hello,
Thanks to this XDA thread and some other sources I was able to compile a list of CSC codes that enable native call recording on Samsung ROMs. This is the list:
Indonesia (XID)
Vietnam (XXV)
Ukraine (SEK)
Israel (ILO)
India (INS)
Thailand (THL/CAM/MYM)
Egypt (EGY)
Bangladesh (BNG)
Laos (LAO)
Libya (LYS)
Nepal (NPL)
Sri Lanka (SLK)
Allergy (TMC/WTL)
Tunisia (TUN)

My question is if simply flashing a ROM with one of these CSCs will be enough to enable native call recording. If the ROM is OXM (Multi-CSC) and the CSC is changed due to insertion of a SIM Card will that disable native call recording?

nice work! it wouldnt surprise me if the sim placed into the phone would make the phone lock to that sims CSC and disable it. Are you able to give it a try and see?

u cant flash firmware of a single particular CSC when its part of multi csc firmware. ure sim will default to xyz specific csc.
there are ways to force or change csc. use search on xda.
You can add India (INS) to that list.
And you need the sim card of the particular country to get the CSC features. When the phone reboots after flashing the OXM firmware, the phone detects the sim card and it will ask for a reboot. Then you will have the CSC features of the country that sim card belong to. Later then the sim card can be switched back and the settings will remain even after reboot.
List of CSC codes that enable native Call recording with/and SPay on Samsung ROMs. This is the list:
Bangladesh (BNG) Call only
Thailand (CAM/MYM/THL) Call + SPay
Egypt (EGY) Call only
Israel (ILO) Call only
Laos (LAO) Call only
Libya (BTC/LYS) Call only

India (INS) call + samsung pay
So does call recording work in Android 9 & 10 since it is disabled by default in Android 9 & 10 ????
On Samsung Note 9 (dual sim) N960F I tried the following roms:
Israel: Too old rom, haven't tried.
EGYPT: NOPE.
TUNIS: NOPE.
INDIA: NOPE.
SRI LANKA: NOPE.
If anyone has any tips on which region shall I try, hit me up...
Somebody knows any of Snapdragon CSCs (ACG, AIO, ATC, ATT,BST, CCT, CHA, GCF, LRA, SPR, TFN, TMB, TMK, USC, VMU, VZW, XAA, XAG, XAS) with call recording support?

So I got call recording on my Note 9, Android 10! YAYYYY!
Well today I paid for SamKey so I could share my experience.
- Original region: XEH (EU/Hungary)
- Base firmware was the latest (March)
- Phone: Note 9 SM-N960F Dual-Sim, 128GB version, factory unlocked.
The process...
PART I: Flashing the base ROM.
- Use "SamFirm" tool to download the latest firmware for a region you want.
- Use Sammobile.com to see which region you need, what is your phone model, etc.
- I recommend using an SSD for this cause it's way faster to work with that in ODIN.
- Use the regular "CSC" file, not the HOME_CSC one.. this will wipe the phone, but it only worked for me this way.
- Once you installed the rom, just enable dev settings, enable ADB, allow your PC.
Part 2: SamKey.
- Bought credits on Samkey (hella expensive.)
- Removed SIM card.
- Flashed latest INDIA [INS] rom (supposedly has call recording).
- set up phone as per instructions, enabled ADB, opened SamKey.
- Changed region to INDIA [INS].
- Reboot, insert SIM.
- Call recording shows up.
My life is complete.
Ps.: First I posted a message saying it did NOT work, but turns out I wrote "IND" instead of INS in CSC field. lol.
Pps.: Changing CSC only costs 1 credit. You can find 3 credits on eBay if you can't afford the bulk option from the main site.
There is also "chimera tool" that supports new(er) phones.. you MIGHT need that one.. uh for me this worked.
I AM NOT ASSOCIATED WITH EITHER, I FOUND THEM TODAY, I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY ARE AS LONG AS THEY WORK.
My KNOX did NOT trip during the process. It's still 0x0.

I dunno, I am still installing my phone but I can't tell any difference so far...
maybe you don't even have to wipe, you could try that too in the name of science.
Also make sure to use a CSC that has call recording. India has it, that's for sure. Israel for example SUPPOSEDLY has it. But if you check Israel for Note 9 on Sammobile, you can see their updates lag behind a lot. I feel bad for the people of Israel... weird thing they get lagged so much. So anyway, check if you are flashing a newer or same version at least. No biggie if you mess up, ODIN will get stuck, you gotta reboot phone into ODIN, start over with a proper firmware pack.
Good luck everyone.
Ps.: Keep this low(ish)...? I realize we are on XDA, and sharing is caring, but honestly I don't know if Samsung will take this method out if it gets "out". Maybe I am just paranoid. Please Sammy if you read this, DO NOT REMOVE this feature. Thank you.

Well im getting this
Samsung Galaxy Note9 SM-N960F INS India N960FXXS5DTB6 firmware
from sammobile ( excrutiatingly slow) i hope i wont get any problems, is this the same Firm you flashed?
And yes i can try to do a flash without wiping just for the science.
Also clarify something to me, you had to use the samkey and pay the credits in order to unlock your phone? or is it needed just to change the region to INS after flashing? i ask this becuse my phone is already unlocked.

Samsung Galaxy Note9 SM-N960F INS India N960FXXS5DTB6 firmware
from sammobile ( excrutiatingly slow) i hope i wont get any problems, is this the same Firm you flashed?
And yes i can try to do a flash without wiping just for the science.
Also clarify something to me, you had to use the samkey and pay the credits in order to unlock your phone? or is it needed just to change the region to INS after flashing? i ask this becuse my phone is already unlocked.

- You really use Sammobile only to find out the CSC/Region code you want, and the phone model. Maybe you know both already. I didn't. So I went to Sammobile -> Firmware and checked. You don't need the site further.
- To get the firmware, use "SamFirm". It is a tool.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Make sure "Decrypt automatically" is ticked, and "Check CRC32" is NOT ticked. (this is the default).
For my SM-N960F (Exynos, Dual SIM), I just wrote:
Model: SM-N960F
Region: INS
[CHECK UPDATE]
then
[DOWNLOAD]
- Flashing is really harmless. Can't really trip KNOX, can't do any harm.
- Yes, you must pay for SamKey. The main site has an expensive pack (15 credits), I got that, but ebay has like "pack of 3" keys and whatnot. Try to buy such a pack from a seller with good reputation. I'd just give you credits if I could but I don't think that's possible. I can send you credits apparently on the site. It says I can send you one a day. So make an account on SamKey, and send me your name in private. I'll send you 2-3 credits if you want.

1) You messed up the model number.
SM-G9600 is the "global name".
Your phone is.... "SM-G960F" for example.
You can check here: https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s9-8966.php
2) You can use Sammobile and SamFirm, they are the same thing. Just SamFirm is SO MUCH FASTER...
3) Okay, just send me whenever, not in a hurry lol. I want to do the CSC change for my friend's Note 10+, but that still leaves me with a lot of spare credits, don't worry.

well that is the model i get either on the About phone and everywhere else SM-N9600 on gsm arena it says SM-N9600/DS and on the back of the phone itself i can barely see but im sure it says SM-N9600/SS. so what to do next? should i get the SM-N960F file instead?
EDIT: by the way i sent you that PM or at least i think i did, i cant confirm ( not showing on my sent items).

- I am no expert, I'd say install a tool like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
- You can also install the "SamKey" tool (without paying) and it has this function called "Read phone info". That might also tell you. Again, you just install it, run it, and it uses ADB to tell you every little detail.
- Maybe even the ODIN Download mode also tells you...
I THINK you have the SM-N960F - if your phone is a global, dual SIM Exynos variant. But only if you have that. SM-N960U is the Snapdragon variant (USA). "SM-N9600/DS (LATAM, Brazil, China)".
I donwloaded that app you told me.. this is the info...
Samsung
SM-N9600 /Galaxy NOte9
Device type: crownqltechn
country of origin Made in china
Date of fabrication: 2018-12-05
Knox warranty counter: 0x0
thenon the CSC code tab it says..
prodict ID: SM-N9600ZBMMXO
csc code of firmware: TPA
CSC Active code: MXO
CSC avaliable codes: CHO, COO, EON,MXO,PEO, TPA, ZTO; BVO, DOO, GTO, UPO, UYO
CSC country: MExico/MX
Mobile operator: 334020
not sure if the rest is relevant..
So it is a8gb/ 512gb ,Snapdragon variant for Mexico Made in china.
I bought a used S21+ and it was a T-Mobile branded model (Dutch). It had TNL/TNL/TNL/EUX/TNL. I use a Vodafone SIM so it would not do VoLTE and VoWiFi and such.
So, I downgraded it to May 2021 AUE1 so I could use SamKEY which worked fine with eBay credits.
I wanted to have it full unlocked unbranded as it will probably get faster One UI 4.0 for unbranded. So I went for PHN which is Netherlands Unbranded.
It worked fine in SamKEY with eBay credits and it passed and rebooted with no errors and instantly gave me the My VOdafone app install prompt so I knew it worked.
VoLTE and VoWiFi are working fine now, however, upon checking my CSC in Software Info I noticed it now shows PHN/PHN/PHN/EUX/TNL. Why is that last TNL still there?
Can I somehow make it FULL PHN? Or does this last 5th TNL not affect anything?
Back when I had my Note 9 and also changed CSC on that one (Vodafone branded to PHN unbranded) it fully changed all of them so I kinda expected this one to do so as well..
