Firmware change from Branded to Unbranded

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

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.

Help needed with new phone.

So I just bought my Note 9 and have been away from Samsung for a while so I'm not really up-to-date. I have the N960F DS model with COS (COSMOTE Greece) CSC still on Android 8.1.0
How can I change my CSC and flash the latest EUR CSC (Greek CSC) Android 9 update?

If I flash the EUR CSC ROM through Odin even though I'm on the COS CSC, is KNOX going to be tripped?

Official firmware, no tripping of Knox

What about updates? If I flash it and perform a full flash, am I going to continue receiving updates under EUR OTA?

Sorry you can't anymore because the bootloader version (bl ver.) "7" in N950FXXS"7"DSG1 won't allow you to downgrade to a lower bl ver 6 or lower.
You now have to wait for firmware N950FTIM6DSF3 to get patched with July security patch from Samsung. Also since Germany DBT is the first firmware and Italy the 2nd july patch firmware you'll have to wait for others to catch up.
If you have any issues BACKUP your phone and do a factory reset!.

I need to rebrand it but the operator don't release all updates (one every 3-4 months).

If you are on N950FTIM6DSF3 TIM (Italy) and want to keep data intact you'll have to wait for TIM to get updated, but if you want to be on the latest firmware from Germany DBT N950FOXM7DSG1 then you'll have to convert your N950FTIM6DSF3 csc to a multi-CSC OXM N950FOXM7DSG1 firmware which may or may not will erase your data.
You'll might have to flash the combination firmware to change the csc from TIM/TIM/TIM to DBT/DBT/(DBT or TIM not sure if this can be changed.) (BACKUP first this will delete data!)
The multi-CSC OXM doesn't support the TIM csc but it does support ITV csc (Italy). Before changing make sure you will not lose any Carrier specific features (etc. VoLTE, VoWIFI, .....) that you use.
Search for "how to change csc with a combination file" in google for more information.

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.
