Recently, I've bought a new phone online. and i was unaware that Samsung Pay rewards cant be transfer if the phone origin is different.
here's some info,
New Phone : Samsung Note 8 (Singapore Set)
Old Phone : Samsung Note 5 (Malaysia Set)
I know that any rooting action could trip KNOX and then i am unable to use samsung pay anymore.
So, is there any chance that I can change my current phone's origin country to be same as my old phone?
or is there anyway i can download Samsung Pay app that match my old phone?
this problem literally give me headache as i am enjoying using samsung pay and i have collected quite a few points back then. It is so disappointment thinking my point is gonna be wasted.
I will post the CSC Code given by Phone INFO apps on both phone later

Hey there. I just changed my CSC and it works. My KNOX still 0x0 (means okay) and I can use samsung pay already.
Here's what ive done:
1) reset the phone by using Factory Reset with your simcard inside
2) reset your phone once
3) open dialpad and type *#272*IMEI#
4) Chose your required CSC and proceed. The phone will restart itself.
5) Now you have it and try open your samsung pay app to see if it successful or not. Alternatively you can download "info phone ☆samsung☆" at google play store to see your data.
Note : some phone might not be able to do this. J have no idea why.
Note2: all your data will be WIPE OFF. So please do some backup first.
i did it change of csc code on note 8 , excellent works , good
Now i can answer all your question , i have re searched all the issues,,
to know which region or phone model , imie info to see , use phone info app
i order in dubai , uae , note 8 - sm-n950f and also i have dual sim sm-n950f duos, if you take it to india or other region and use dail code #*272*imie code * it wont happen , so samsung pay or any apps etc for india region will not work or if polant or other as its xsg when u see in phone info app
and to change your css to ins without trigger knox or warrenty ,,
so simple steps . use samfirm_0.3.4 and download the original stock firmware for the region INS or what ever you need which u want to shift to
then use odin3-v3.12.7 and then flash u r stock firm ware mobiile by selecting all files as normally what every site says
once ok pass , disconnect the cable and put which ever region sim card you flash with , this is important then it restarts twice and switch u totally to INS (that is india my case ) or else it will stick to UAE ,, trust me on this
and it works perfect and wonderfull for note 8 , i have no issues , all info and imie and things are great

So, we have to reset the phone twice?
Maybe it just works on the international version.

Hello Hafeez, I have been wanting to enable VoLTE functionality on my Galaxy Note 8 N9500 Duos(Qualcomm Snapdragon) bought from UAE. Though its from UAE I was given a N9500 Version which is a Honkong / Chinese version of the phone. I am in India and want to use Samsung pay and also VoLTE.
Samsung pay would only take me to Install Honkong version of samsung pay.
Is it possible to flash a INS (Indian) firmware on this phone ?
Hi I have the same phone but I'm in Malaysia I need to use Samsung Pay and VoLte. Did you find a solution?

we can get VOLTE working in INDIA by rooting and enabling some settings in IMS.
Once you have rooted you device, it will trigger Knox and disable all Samsung's propritory software.
Ok try and do this as best as I can......
I bought a vwz S8 G950U used off someone from offer up was working fine when I bought it so when I got home I factory reseted to get all the users apps games etc off it and then it asked for a Google log in info (which I don't know) and I tryed to email the person but won't respond
So I tryed to install factory to binary to bypass it from what I been reading says I can do well I can get in factory binary now but now I cannot install oem stock firmware which I have downloaded 7.0 (what was on it ) says factory binary samsmobile and xda but every time odin3 gives me a fail message I have tryed odin3 3.127,3.13.1,3.12.3 and I think 1 more but every time I get a error....
So right now when I turn on the it his to factory binary mode and don't know of this helps but the battery won't charge past 80%....
What I'm asking if someone can be kind enough to help me out with this issue
P.S. I also tryed to instill Oreo 8.0 also but failed as well....
I can get any I go and post pics if that helps as well
Thank you in advance Jason A.KA. PpperoniRedd

5th digit back is boot loader bit number. This error is commonly from trying to flash with older firm Ware than on the devices

Hi fellow XDA members,
I own a Galaxy Note 5 (SM-N920I) which was bought in Singapore under operator Starhub (STH). I happen to use this phone in India and I later realized the phone supports VoLTE but the firmware didn't so I stuck with using the Jio4GVoice app for a long time now and I'm done with it due to lot of bugs and call drops.
I looked online for solutions and found many that involved root or custom recovery to flash the so-called VoLTE fix. I have read articles that said the Indian firmware supports VoLTE so I So, I tried the following:
Download the Indian firmware and flashed via odin. But it fails with error specified file not found. Did a research and i unchecked the Re-partition and again tried and it fails at flashing system . So I re-flashed the STH firmware to get the phone boot up. I learnt that CSC is responsible for getting the region specific network to work.
Extract CSC from Indian firmware and simply flash it on odin. But, as articles say that I'll have 4 files for each boxes to place in odin I only had one tar (<firmware_HOME_tar.md5). Then I read, extracting the modem.bin file and ziping that to a tar file and flash it via odin will help. I tried that but no luck (should I factory reset it?).
Both the firmwares have a single file and articles say that there will be CSC_<firmware>.tar and CSC_HOME_<firmware>.tar.
I don't know where I'm getting wrong. Is this even possible or i'm simply wasting my time? I use samsung pay and S health extensively so I don't wanna trip knox.
Update:
I read that cache.img is CSC from here. So extracted the cache from Indian firmware and flashed that to my phone that has STH firmware. I used the Phone info app and found baseband has been changed and available CSC shows INS but active CSC is STH. Now I guess i just need to activate that CSC. I tried the steps mentioned here but it doesn't work.

here is another method you can try. but this only works if your phone supports it.
For firmware that uses a multi-csc code, you need to select a sales code before attempting to connect to a cellular network. This is especially true for 3G and 4G connections.
There are two ways to select a sales code:
1. Enter *#06# in the phone dialer to obtain the IMEI number for the device. You can then enter *#272*Device IMEI# to select a sales code. If your Samsung device does not return a menu, the product code is not a multi-csc code.
OR
2. Install an CSC changer app, such as the "Phone INFO" app. CSC changer apps do require root access, and they do not work on all phones and all versions of Android.
Hit thanks if it helps !
P.S. IT ONLY WORKS ON STOCK ROM ...! so you need to be on Stock Rom.

Thanks for your help. I tried solution 1 and it Worked
However, before trying out your solution, my device was in this state:
1. Flashed Singapore ROM
2. Extracted every file from Indian rom and repacked the tar except the system.img (as this was failing to flash in odin)
3. After booting I got a notification from SupportAgent telling me that unauthorized changes have been made, tap here to reboot to undo those changes
4. I then read your solution and updated the CSC to INS from STH. And device got factory reset and for the first time I saw VoLTE logo on my phone :victory:
5. I finished the setup and still getting the same error in notification from SupportAgent. So I tapped on it, and device rebooted to a new blue screen with sim card logo on it and then boot up to system.
6. Now, in the quick settings, VoLTE toggle is gone and I got WiFi Calling toggle instead. However I still have the VoLTE icon on the status bar.
7. So later that day, I redo all the steps.
- Flashed Singapore firmware (This time, the CSC Country was Singapore and the active CSC was XTH instead of STH. There was VoLTE toggle)
- Flashed Cache from Indian Firmware (CSC Country changed to India the active CSC was INS automatically. Now got WiFi Calling toggle)
8. I noticed other changes in the software:
- The gallery App doesn't show Grid view so I'm stuck with List view
- The Samsung Pay says, its not supported for this device
What do you think about this?

are you still able to use voLTE ?? after these steps.
about Support agent. Ignore it if you can. or skip it. you do not need this as there aren't any official updates after this. (this is only because now system knows that you have modified it, and it will not receive any update. if you can the disable the Support agent app via settings or if possible via root.)
samsung pay will Not work. as knox should have been tripped to 0x1, so Samsung pay like apps will NEVER work after knox trip.

I have a Note 9 SM-N960F/DS model. I bought it from KSA (Saudi Arabia). The phone came with Android Pie (9) out of the box.
Unfortunately my friend rooted my phone and now i am running on "N960FXXU3CSFA/N960FOXM3CSFA/N960FXXU3ASF1" version with "Security patch level: 1 June 2019". I am unable to use my Samsung account and all the security features (finger print, Ratina scanner, Face recognition etc).
When i switch back to original firmware i.e
PDA N960FXXU3CSG1
CSC N960FOXM3CSG1
i got all the features functioning but my SIM card shows "Emergency calls only".
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Well, My friend took my phone and told me that he will make it compliant with our local network and make it approved from the Telecommunication authority.
He has downgraded the phone with older firmware version i.e N960FXXU3CSFA/N960FOXM3CSFA,N960FXXU3ASF1. The security patch level is 1 June 2019
I have checked the Knox e-fuse which is not tripped which means its an official ROM and not altered.
Now, i have the latest firmware version downloaded i.e N960FXXS3CSG1 but when i try to install it in my phone it does not recognize my SIM card and phone is in "Emergency calls Only" state.

not sure how you check knox but if he really rooted then its too late and knox cannot state cant be reverted.
typically checking via software is not a good method . going to download mode and checking warranty state 0x0 means is not tripped. anything different means it been tripped/blown.
anyways that dosen't make you phone have no signal though.
i suspect he screwed up the twrp recovery flash procedure for twrp and botched the flash back to stock via odin.
read up on odin and how to use it. get latest version.(search and read)
read up so on how to get latest firmware for your phone and which csc your carrier is so that you can download the correct firmware and have best results for your sim carrier.( in doubt try BTU csc firmware)(but search and read about the subject of phone types firmwares and CSC)
also the firmwares your quoted seem old. not sure why you ended up using it but you should get one that is from july.
E.G.:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note9/firmware/SM-N960F/BTU/
(get the most recent! july 25th)( u can dl odin from there too)
on your PC, install samsung android drivers or simply install samsung smart switch. it will install the necessary components.
in it self smart switch can flash firmware automatically for your device. so you might want to try it first.
if you go towards the odin flash route and found the correct firmware or want to try BTU multi csc as suggested above:
put phone in download mode and unzip on PC firmware and flash with odin BL,AP,CP and CSC. But for csc choose csc.md5 instead of home_csc.md5
(be patient while AP is being checked before adding cp and csc)
edit: details steps on odin flashing procedure below
henklbr said:
1. Extract (un-rar) the firmware file (i.e. to folder c:\Odin) ***
2. Download Odin v3.13.1
3. Extract Odin ZIP file (i.e. to folder c:\Odin)
4. Open Odin v3.13.1
5. Power OFF Note9
6. Reboot Phone in Download Mode (1st plug-in USB-cable to your Note9!!!, push Bixby + Volume Down buttons, while pushing them plug-in USB-cable to PC
7. Wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
8. Add the firmware files to their designated slots
9. Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
10. Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes

last but not least don't listen to your friend or let him close to your phone again. reading and searching on xda is much better. everything has been already asked. you just need to search for it.

I haven't try SmartSwitch for N9 but worth to try as it should be able to detect proper csc for your phone.
Else find the latest firmware for your phone with Frija/Samfirm then flash with odin.

I have a Note 9 SM-N960F/DS model. I bought it from KSA (Saudi Arabia). The phone came with Android Pie (9) out of the box.
Unfortunately my friend rooted my phone and now i am running on "N960FXXU3CSFA/N960FOXM3CSFA/N960FXXU3ASF1" version with "Security patch level: 1 June 2019". I am unable to use my Samsung account and all the security features (finger print, Ratina scanner, Face recognition etc).
When i switch back to original firmware i.e
PDA N960FXXU3CSG1
CSC N960FOXM3CSG1
i got all the features functioning but my SIM card shows "Emergency calls only".
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

well may be your friend tried to change IMEI of phone which is illegal in any country. Match your IMEI with box by dialing *#06#, if IMEI are same then no need to worry. you need to register your phone IMEI with PTA by paying tax. after paying tax they will whitelist the IMEI of your phone and you will be able to make calls.
just for information, my note 9 is also brought from Saudi Arabia, but at that time one device was free, so i got my phone registered by providing my travel details to PTA and they whitelisted my phone.
Please guide me solution.

So I installed an app called CSWE App Manager and disabled some apps/services. Well, I must have disabled something I shouldn't have and my phone is boot looping. It shows the Samsung splash logo and then after a few minutes reboots and repeats.
Here is what I have done so far to troubleshoot:
I have taken out the sim/SD card.
I have booted into recover and wiped cache and factory data reset, but still no joy.
I downloaded new firmware and flashed via Odin. Got a successful flash, but still boot loops even after that. I downloaded this firmware from SamMobile:

I am at a loss for what to do now. Can anybody please help me? I am about to pull my hair out.
Thank you!
I took these screenshots of my wife's phone software info. She has the exact same phone as I do.
Unfortunately you may have to factory reset. Without knowing what the culprit is. If I were you, I would use ADB App Control next time. You can disable and enable with one click. And I would never remove anything unless you are sure, just disable
I tried to factory reset, but no luck. Still boot loops. I didn't uninstall anything, I just disabled. ADB App Control... is that an app?
I'm so frustrated, it successfully flashes in Odin, but still boot loops.
You load it on computer and connect device. It shows every app with the option to ddisable. If factory reset didn't work probably have to flash firmware with odin.

Thank you for the link. I downloaded that firmware and got a pass on Odin v3.14. Still boot looping. What am I missing?
Did you flash BL..AP..CP..CSC
So I flashed via Odin again and this time I didn't select for auto reboot. I powered down after the flash and immediately went into Recovery Mode. As I attempted to do this a blue android logo and status bar came up briefly and then went away, which was weird. Then it let me into Recovery Mode and I cleared cache and factory reset. Still no luck, boot looping.
Yes, I flashed all four of those as the same time.
Since you factory reset, try flashing again with those 4 files. Keep auto reboot selected. Use parched Odin I think 3.13b or patched 3.14
And if you can, show me your download screen
Ok, I did and still boot loop.
No I mean download screen of your device
Who is your carrier? What sim?

Mint Mobile
Try to find latest version of odin. Mint Mobile is basically Tmobile. Take sim out and flash the firmware.
I've got Odin 3.13.1 and have the sim/SD card out. Still boot looping even after successful flashes.
Here is the device info that I get when connecting to SamFirm to confirm what my device is currently showing.
Company : TOSHIBA
Model Number : SM-N960U1
Sales Model : XAA
SW Version : N960U1UEU9FVG2
FW Version : 000B
Product : THGAF8T0T43BAIRA
CAPA : 128
DID : 20208BB5CA97FF11
UN : 988F8B48425148474434
I also tried to Boot into Safe Mode. I am not able to shut the phone down while in boot loop, but when booting into Recovery Mode there is a power off selection. When I select it, it just reboots back into Recovery Mode.
When going to SamMobile to download the firmware package, how do I know what country to pick? I see XAA (unknown), AIO (unknown), etc...
My phone is the unlocked US version.
My wife has the same exact phone and it shows this as her software version.
It appears something in my phone is preventing it from booting even though I have successfully flashed stock firmware via Odin. Is there a way to completely wipe my phone via my pc using adb or something and reflash using odin?
I'm not sure what happened. You have done everything that should work. Try different cord, different USB port
A factory wipe should do the trick. Try flashing Tmobile U1 it's unlocked firmware..
Do you remember what you disable? Have you tried your wife's sim? You should be able to flash any unlocked firmware not just XAA they are the same since it provisions to your Sim my play phone is a Note 10+ with mint mobile Sim and it works just fine. Before I unlocked it I used At&t
This is my about phone on my Note 10 + with mint mobile sim
Did you ever use Odin to flash firmware before all this happened?
I have an have always been successful. Its been a long time however, but I used to flash custom roms all the time on my earlier Samsung Notes.
I was told by somebody more experience than I am after trying to flash for me that its an emmc error.
Is this fixable by a repair shop? Worth doing or would it be expensive?
I don't get it. I get a successful flash with Odin.
Is there anyway to fix this? Can the storage on the phone be repartitioned and the stock software reinstalled? I don't see how the emmc could just fail like that. Especially after I was using CCSWE App Manger and disabled apps. Seems very coincidental that the emmc would fail right after doing that. I think I messed up the software with that app. I just don't know how to get it fixed.
