How to know that which firmware and csc file i can choose for flashing N950U?

I read a lot of threads about Galaxy Note 8 carrier locked and unlocked firmware flashing guides in here but one thing I couldn't get clear of was that how to know that which firmware version with the following csc will be compatible to your bootloader if you are already having flashed note 8 with unlocked software on your carrier locked device.
I am having a Galaxy Note 8 bought from AT&T but it is running on firmware with active CSC code XAA which is for Unlocked US models and the baseband version is N950USQU1AQI9 which I checked on internet is the firmware of US Cellular carrier. So anyone can please help me If I want to Update my Firmware with Odin and I still want to have the unlocked device features then what files shall I choose. Please Help.

how to change CSC on international unlocked note 8

i have a unlocked note 8 that i recently updated to pie and i am trying to change the CSC to t-mobile. i do have the options of wifi-calling and volte but they dont seem to work. my current CSC is XEF/XEF/BTU. will flashing just the CSC file from t-mobile note 8 firmware make it work or end up in a brick?

No you'll brick your phone! To different soc's and file systems.
You'll have to root your phone and flash a csc detonator zip file with the moded csc files for usa market to work on an international SM-N950F phone.
But if you'll do root your phone you'll lose Samsung pay and secure folder for GOOD! Also it will wipe your storage so BACKUP first if you go that route.

I am already rooted and running lightrom

Try this thread out.

I have seen that thread but unfortunately it is for oreo and i am on pie. It seems he is working on it for TMobile so ill keep checking. Thanks.

have you tried the simcard trick?
I changed csc on my note 8 but was using BL of 5 but now there's seems to be no combo file for BL6 so no go.

S10e G970F downgrade from Android 10 (beta) to Android 9

Hi guys
Just checking, are we able to move back to Android 9, without any risk, using ODIN?

Yes I have done it on S10+ Just flash Pie firmware with Odin and use the Home CSC file and not the CSC or Userdata file. Flaash BP, CP, BL and Home CSC files.

I have to full wipe after flash, but I was able to move back to Pie

Thanks guys! Great stuff, i just updated to Beta 3, will use for a few days and then decide...

hello,
I've and S10e and because an important app to me I need to go back to android 9 where it works.
I've read a lot info about downgrade, but no one says ROOT/UNBRICK.
Can someone inform if there is a way of downgrade without ROOT (maintaining the warranty).
thanks in advance
P.S.: Maybe too naive question, sorry for that

Flashing firmware from different CSC (but same multi-CSC)

Hi! My Galaxy S20 FE is the 4G Snapdragon variant (SM-G780G). The Android 12 update is not yet out for my CSC (GLB), but it has been released for Malaysia (XME). Seeing as they're both part of the larger OLM multi-CSC, can I flash the Malaysian firmware through Odin and still retain my GLB CSC (no factory reset)?

yes you can if you A) use only BL, AP and CP from OneUI 4
and use HOME_CSC from your own last OneUI 3.1 firmware (they share the same bootloader binary version number). your CSC will not change then. many have tested this and said it works, however some say it may cause OTA updates to stop working. if that's true downloading the firmware for GLB once it's available would fix that (with you flashing it again with the HOME_CSC).
B) you could flash it all from XME using HOME_CSC, I've only heard from one person saying this worked, honestly I can't remember if his CSC stayed as it started out, the rom worked though.
