Put your sim-card in. If everything works after the mandatory factory reset, you are all set. No need to do anything.

Because BTU & SER are both part of the Multi-CSC OXM, you can't change the CSC!
You can only change CSC to BTU/XEU if you insert a BRITISH SIM-card in your device...
You can change CSC using combination file.

use your last valid twrp backup from before the issue to restore:
carrier configs (odm)
efs
also when you flash full stock, use csc.md5 and not home_csc.md5 as CSC file.
it migh be good to research what the very latest firmware files are for your device. there should be a july update somewhere. so use that and try again.
if you want and try to fix ure csc issue try to flash zip in:

beware that you flash this at tour own free will and i cant be held responsible for anything.
do a full backup first.
in aroma choose DBT and choose ure correct CSC code.

I need help about Carrier Switching

A long time ago, I switched my CSC to XAA to use unlocked firmware (no bloatware,...) but I can't use VoLTE on that firmware. Now I want to change my CSC back to Sprint's CSC but my bootloader is now U7, and there is no combination rom for this bootloader.
So is there anyway that I can do to reverse my phone back to default CSC??
Btw, my device is now N950U1, I'm thinking about flash N950U rom but I don't know N950U's CSC is single CSC or multi CSC
Please help me. Thanks in advance
N950u has multi csc but you wont to be able to flash another rom accept the stock and yes you will need to wait till they release the u7 combination only that way you can go back.!!

Hey just wanted to understand if this affects warranty. Also if you can post step by step guide on how to do this with samkey?
For people who can't switch between csc in the same mult csc pack. OXM multi csc pack contains all the european generic and network branded firmware (csc) so if You are at MEO (part of OXM multi pack), and flash it with TPH (part of OXM multi pack) the MEO will stay. What you need to do is to flash it with different multi csc pack (just see what packs are available for your model), try to flash Brazil csc ZTO, it's part of multi pack OWO. then flash it back with OXM multi pack, and it should switch to some generic csc, then if you instert your sim card it should ask you if you want to customize your phone to the inserted sim card and it will change your csc to the one you want.
Hello.
In my own case, I bought the SM-G998B from Korea, which is KOO/KOO/KOO, and I live in Africa. I won't mind being able to flash on OXM or any other multi-csc firmware, just so long as I can use my sim card here.
All I'm getting right now is limited service, and the option to select network operators is completely missing from my phone.
my s21U original comes with XSP CSC and firmware.. i have tried flashing to XME the flashing is ok and everything except that under software provider it still shows XSP... will it affect me receiving ota from XME?

Question If i remove my sim card and do a factory reset and insert another country's sim card will my phone csc changed to that country's csc?

If i remove my sim card and do a factory reset and insert another country's sim card will my phone csc changed to that country's csc? Because by flashing with odin it doesn't change the CSC

I bought a Vietnam phone csc, and it did not switch to my sim csc.
This method, and the dialer code one are gone.
No it won't. You need to get Samkey account. I also did it with Samkey. Bought phone from another country and change it to mine. I have spare account with credit in it if you are interested.

that way if u wana keep ur current sim card .
he want to use another sim card like for example :
if u are living in india and use indian sim card than u cant change csc and will detect indian sim card csc.
if u are living in india and u use german sim card than ur csc changed to DBT and receive OTA from germany .
WE CANT CHANGE CSC IF WE USE SAME SIM CARD FROM THE REGION WE LIVING.
ONLY VIA SAMKEY THAT NOT ALLOWED AFTER AUGUST PATCH FOR S21 ULTRA.
HOPE I HELP

I'm from Brunei my current csc is Singapore XSP and they release firmware very slow. I wanna change to XME which is malaysia and i have an malaysia sim card with me. I just need the phone to be in XME to receive software updates faster. By formatting and backing up again will take kinda lot of work. Just need a confirmation if i put that malaysia sim card after a factory reset will it change from XSP to XME..

As i said, that didn't even work for me on my Note 9 with Android 10, apparently it worked up to Android 9, but i am not sure about that either.
If i recall correctly, the only time when someone can change the CSC is within a country from Branded (Vodafone i.e.,) to Unbranded, and yet again i am not sure.
I know for a fact that you cannot just CHANGE THE CSC anymore. Not with SIM, not with Odin and not with the dialer codes. If you are on January/February firmware, i think you can still use the dialer code, but you cannot downgrade anymore due to the bootloader incrementation.
Currently your only bet is SamKey, i used it like the other user did too. It's a highly unfair method from a dev that sought the opportunity to make some money. And you need to be on May firmware for that, but luckily you can downgrade as May uses the same bootloader as the latest October build, and that may change very soon.

@emirefek offered you something above. For changing CSC with SamKey, you actually need just 1 credit. The dev does not sell anything under 45 if i recall correctly. On ebay however, people resell 15 of them in one package. It's infuriating but hey, it's the only solution out there.
I did mine from a friend, where he made me share my USB port over the internet. Forgot the damn name of the app but it was mindblowing that something like that exists.

Simple answer. No. But XSP and XME are in the same multi-csc group OXM so you can change by doing the dialer thing. If you look at your software information you will see this line.
XSP/XSP,XSP/XSP/xxx
There 4 csc for phones from XSP. If your phone is directly from samsung ... its xsp but the opetators' phones have different csc.
Xxx will change according to the SIM. But I am not sure if it will allow your phone to OTA according to xxx. I suspect even if you xhange csc this line will be
XSP/XSP,XSP/XME/xxx
The easiest way is to download releases for CSC DBT and odin.

Correct at the moment is XSP/XSP,XSP/XSP/XSP
You mean download DBT csc firmware to flash? Will it affect ota updates?

No. But DBT will have monthly updates so DBT will always be ahead of XSP so XSP OTA will be older than DBT.
So if your phone is following dbt releases, you will never ota... with xsp.

You will still get ota. If xsp ota is newer than what is in the phone. But if you keep flashing dbt, the xsp ota is never newer so ota not necessary
Flashing will not change csc

I am not sure Samkey really does that. be careful ...
All this is related to security , e.g. samsung pay, stolen phone etc so its not so easy..
