Hi. I have an n7000 with an xtc CSC in. I'm currently on LA1 which is the most updated version for my phone. Would it be possible for me to flash using the most recent version released in germany? I also heard that if I did, I may not be able to get OTA updates without changing my CSC. The problem is, I tried to check if I have the german CSCs available in my phone via *#272*IMEI# but I don't.
I was on KKA with an XEU CSC yesterday, and that was the only option in csc select.
Yesterday I flashed the newest LB1 with pc odin (german) and had no issues. My CSC is still XEU, but the flash enabled multi CSC, I could change it if I want, i have the full list now.
I decided to not chance my CSC for the inconvenience of incurring a fullwipe. If when ICS comes it is a fullwipe rom I may change my csc to DBT, but of it isn't I see no need. I can just keep flashing with odin and get the updates as soon as they arrive in any region, rather than waiting for OTA in whichever region i happen to have my CSC set.
Will flashing with an official rom via odin void my warranty? Just want to make sure thanks!

No, it won't. Flashing stock ROMs through Odin does not increment the custom binary counter either, so go ahead

trying to get back to stock so I followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13181515&postcount=1
and succesfully got the stock GB from KIES.
but the region is wrong. I'm from Slovenia but it installed the Philipines CSC XTC version and thus don't have the correct locale settings.
How can I get the correct firmware for using it wth CSC: MOT?
KIES has this info:
PDA:JPI/PHONE:JPE/CSS:JPH (XTC)

Hey guys,
i've got the G800F branded by T-Mobile.
PDA G800FXXU1ANL2
CSC G800FDTM1ANL1
I would like to flash the unbranded DBT version.
PDA G800FXXU1ANL1
CSC G800FDBT1ANJ1
since i dont want to trip the knox counter i've read that flashing the same firmware wont trigger it. the last letter in the PDA / CSC code is for the version right? since the last letter in the CSC from the DBT version is "J" which is before the "L" would flashing the DBT version trigger my knox?
greetings and thx

You won't trip the knox since it is stock Don't worry about anything. Just flash it via odin in PDA/AP section and don't forget to wipe data and cache after installing
Hi, I have the Singapore firmware on my device (non-rooted): XSP
This firmware is absolutely ridiculous when it comes to updates. I am currently Sept 1, 2018 security patch, and that is the latest available for this device.
Is it possible to flash another exynos firmware from ODIN to my device WITHOUT factory resetting my phone, so my data and apps don't get affected? Can I just download the UK version, for instance, from Sammobile and flash it without affecting my data?

Yes thats no problem, just make sure you flash home CSC, if you flash CSC it will factory reset your devcie.
Thanks! I'm guessing it's not considered a dirty flash or anything right? If I install another firmware on top of XSP and flash csc_home, can it effect performance negatively?
What's the best recommended firmware to flash that gets the latest updates to replace my current XSP?

You can flash ANY firmware where OXM is mentioned in the CSC
Flash AP BL CP HOME_CSC_OXM with Odin 3.13.1 to your device: your data & CSC (XSP) will stay intact.
You can't change CSC on your device; if you flash i.e. the latest UK-firmware (BTU/XEU) and that build is NOT released for CSC XSP, you won't get OTA's to your device and you'll have to flash later FW's again via Odin.

Does this mean you can use any CSC from other official firmware and the drawback is that you cannot get OTA?

If your CSC contains OXM (check with *#1234# in your dialer), you can flash every OXM-firmware released.
But: if that build is not released in your country, you won't get OTA-updates.
If your country will get a newer build, and you flash that to your device, than you'll receive OTA's again...
I'm stuck with the an old firmware, even the security update was on March 1, 2018. It is from Singapore (STH) but I am currently in the Philippines. When manual update is used, it says latest software installed.

You have to get familiar with using ODIN if you want to have the latest firmware.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note8/SM-N950F/SER/download/N950FXXU5CSA3/251208/
This will wipe your device due to mismatched CSC, so backup first.
Don't worry. You can switch to English for these ROMS.

Thank you kind sir. Flashing official firmware via ODIN does not trigger knox? Also is it normal that I do not receive ota updates because I changed countries or networks?

Well I can answer one of your questions and that NO it won't trip Knox because you'll be flashing the OEM firmware straight from Samsung.
If you have Samsung switch on PC you can see by plugging your phone to the PC and see if it comes up with an update. If not use the Odin to update your phone.
Use the home-csc file and you won't lose your data! (Flash the bl,ap,cp, "home-csc" in odin)
Warning ! The csc file (CSC be itself) WILL delete your data!
But choose just one csc file, so choose the one you want.

If I choose the CSC file and not the Home CSC file, will I be able to change from STH (Singapore Starhub) to XTC (Philippines Openline)?

If you take your sim card out and do the csc file flash it will default to xsg/xsg/xsg. (I think)
As soon as you put your sim card in it will go to the csc that your sim card sets it to as long as it's in The multi-csc firmware. ( the OXM in the firmware name is the multi-csc.)
So check the official note 8 SM-N950F firmware thread in the guide sub forum to see if your csc is in the oxm firmware.
You can change the csc but you'll need the combination firmware to do that. Search for changing csc in xda there are guides on how to do it.
edit for some corrections.......
Edit 2: just check the oxm XTC is included in it. So take sim card out (!!!!but first backup up all important data to pc!!!) Use Odin with the csc file (to erase phone, basically start from scratch like you just turned on the phone for the first time.) Let it boot up without sim card, then place sim card in and see.
Hello everyone
I have a question and yes i searched the web
My phone has OJM CSC and MID Region i want to flash UAE android 11 firmware (its OJM) and change the region back MID i wanted to know if i can still get OTA and if there will be any problems like knox
Thank you in advance and i have downloaded the firmware using frija
A715F
And which files should i flash in odin? Sorry its my first samsung phone
If i understood your question correctly then you can surely do that! Before anything make sure to backup your files because some times changing the CSC wont work and it will corrupt all your data. First you need the OJM region firmware and MID firmware after installing OJM using odin BL+AP+CP and CSC use HOME_CSC if you want to keep your precious files! After installing OJM put your phone in download mode and flash just the MID CSC and that should do the trick! Note that you will get OTA updates from the MID region and if you update using OTA it will change your AP BL etc there will not be any problems with knox just if you decide to root. If this helped you make sure to like my response!
