use the CSC file and not the HOME_CSC.
Note this will wipe your phone
I made it..the csc no the home_csc
I live in greece thats why i download tge eur firmware
In phone info says
Product code:sm-n950fzkaeur
Original csc code:nothing
Firmware's csc code:nothing
Active csc code:eur
Available csc codes:nothing
Csc country:segr/gr
Mobile operator:vodafone gr/20205
Before i made flash in the ative csc was writing dtm and other product code and csc country
I think i made it change or no?
And i go to software information/service provider sw ver. It says
eur/eur/dtm
If i put the note 8 in recovery mode it says multiple csc and active code eur
With this i well get eur ota updates?
So confused

eur/eur/dtm the last CSC will never change as this is hardcoded in the phone firmware.
If the first two are EUR/EUR then you have the correct CSC for OPEN Greece firmware.

I've got a Telstra-branded S8+ (code TEL according to Sammobile) and I want to flash regular unbranded firmware onto it but I'm a little confused by all this talk of CSCs and so on. Is it safe to download the Australia (XSA) firmware and simply flash the HOME_CSC file over the top of what's already there, or is there more to it than that? Do I need to worry about this tripping Knox/breaking Safetynet/disabling OTAs/etc?
I have had no issues with flashing XSA on my Singapore model Note 8. As long as it is the official firmware this will not trip Knox.
Though your original CSC will appear in the Software Information as the third CSC. Mine currently shows XSA/XSA/XSP (XSP is Singapore)
Hello guys,
I recently bought a Note8 on Internet and I received it this monday. Besides being really happy with it I noticed that no OTAs were available.
I took a look at settings and I saw under carrier version there is "XEF/XEF/XSG", which could imply that the seller has flashed a XEF Oreo ROM before sending the device and with the system infos being incoherent, this is why I can't get any new updates.
So this is my goal : I want to be on full XEF CSC so I can enjoy VoLTE, VoWiFi and receive the latest updates, by this I mean having "XEF/XEF/XEF"
Here is my actual version :
AP : N950FXXU3CRC1
CP : N950FXXU3CRB9
CSC : N950FOXM3CRC1
Model : SM-N950F/DS
And obviously the Oreo ROM associated with XEF is :
AP : N950FXXU3CRC1
CP : N950FXXU3CRB9
CSC : N950FOXM3CRC4
Thanks for taking the time to read this and answer!!
EDIT : So my problem has been fixed
I assume the model you have is the Snapdragon variant, not the N950F.
If so, I don't see any reason why it should not work once you ODIN to the XEF stock ROM

Hello and thanks for answering.
You're assuming it wrong no offense. I have the N950F/DS model (implying I have the Exynos 8895)
If I flash the XEF 8.0.0 I have with Odin, will my CSC match with the rest of the firmware ?
Yes, as long as you use ODIN to flash a complete ROM, then your CSC will match unless you manually selected another CSC.
I thought VoLTE was limited to US carriers.

Last question, sorry to bother, the last time I changed CSCs my Samsung had Knox already tripped, I have actually the XSG CSC, if I flash with Odin the same XEF ROM I have now, will I have XEF ?
It is my belief that Knox is also tripped when when one flashes different CSCs from the base firmware that is selected during the flashing process. I don't think you will trip Knox if it is a full XEF ROM (unmodified) by Samsung.
I think it is something like a failed checksum (not signed by Samsung) that really trips the Knox flag.
Alright, thank you very much, I'll try flashing the XEF ROM tomorrow and I'll see if there are changes

As long as you flash OFFICIAL firmware, KNOX won't be tripped!
This is the latest FW for CSC XEF:
Model SM-N950F
Model name Galaxy Note8
Country
Version Android 8.0.0
Changelist 13688770
Build date Thu, 14 Jun 2018 10:27:19 +0000
Security Patch Level 2018-06-01
Product code XEF
PDA N950FXXU3CRF4
CSC N950FOXM3CRF4
Your device will stay "XEF/XEF/XSG": you CAN'T change XSG to XEF (that's the Production-code of your device)
Your ACTIVE & SIM CSC is correct -> XEF!

So this means I can safely download the latest firmware to update my phone (since no OTAs are available) and update it. Which CSC file should I use ? There are two available (CSC_ and HOME_CSC). If I remember right the second allows me to keep my data right ?

Hello again,
A completely random question, if I flash a carrier ROM (with FTM CSC), will I have the carrier ROM, will I have "FTM/FTM/FTM" and will KNOX be tripped ?
Sorry for bothering

As I already answered earlier: when flashing OFFICIAL firmware, KNOX will NOT be tripped!
The last CSC will NEVER changed (Product-code): in your case it will stay XSG
FTM is also in a Multi-CSC, so I don't know if it will change to FTM/FTM/XSG
Why not stay with your UN-branded XEF/XEF/XSG?

Hello again!!
Well indeed I forgot that. Okay so now I know I won't be able to change the product code, I was wondering if when flashing a firmware that didn't contain the XSG CSC (my SIM card would apply the FTM) things would change.
And FTM is my carrier so I wanted to try all the features reserved to Orange's ROM
But thanks again for everything sir!!!
Quick updates on this story
Hello guys !!!
Here are some quick updates about my situation. I followed @henklbr indications to update manually my phone to one of the latest firmwares, I do still have "XEF/XEF/XSG" but it doesn't matter because my main complain was that I wasn't getting OTA updates.
This behaviour has been changed now that I'm downloading an OTA update to get the latest firmware and possibly the future ones.
I will mention all the people who helped me :

Thanks again for all guys and long live the Note8 !!!!

I received my international version of the N960F/DS. It had XEU firmware. I tried to install BTU firmware via Odin using a SamFirm BTU download and a UK Giffgaff SIM and selecting CSC, not Home_CSC. I still ended up with XEU.
1st question - am I likely to get Pie and other updates more quickly on BTU than XEU?
2nd question - how do I change from XEU to BTU? I think I saw that on previous Galaxies maybe you had to install a firmware not on the OXM multi CSC and then install BTU afterwards. Is that what I should have done? If so, what CSC do you suggest?
3rd question - should I just leave it alone?
TIA.

Use search instead of creating topics saves space
simply flash desired firmware wont work, you will need to flash combination file first before that.
follow above comment will work
