I recently joined Koodo ( Telus group) and want to flash the csc files for Koodo.
Can someone please direct me how I can extract CSC files from stock firmware and then flash into the phone ?
( Canadian phones are N950W but I have the international version N950F. Hence cannot directly flash the firmware )

Are you rooted? Only way is to root your phone then flash the csc zip from Tkkg1994 thru twrp.

Unrooted don't think you can without bricking your phone.

Check this one out. I know it says for tmobile but there was a post about Canadian csc. (Or I've misunderstood it, anyway). Might be worth a read thru.

Hi I'm trying to flash the T-Mobile firmware from sammobile.com, but whenever I try, I get an error at 32% when it says Installing System Update. I attempted to flash CSC,AP,BL, and CP with it saying PASS in Odin. I really need the T-Mobile firmware and am wondering if it is possible to do? I determined that I cant install CSC files and get the error when I try. Any Solutions?
SM-G950U
Odin 3.12.3
T-Mobile Firmware:
PDA: G950USQU1AQD9
CSC: G950UOYN1AQD9
I'm having the same problem with an ATT phone flash with the US "U" unlocked version firmware. When I don't flash the csc it will start up only with the USB plug in but shut down after the beginning startup
Search for a "modified Odin". It was what I used to be able to flash unlocked firmware on a 7 and 7 edge a few months ago. The "normal" Odin wouldn't let me do it, but the modified one did. Though you may need to wait until it's been updated....I haven't checked it in awhile.
Still no solution to avoid the error to 32%?
Try this Odin. This is the one I used to flash the Canadian firmware on mine.
I managed with odin version 3.12.5! But only with BL AP and CP!
When I add CSC I get the error at 32%!
So a priori everything works, I no longer have the Verizon overlay (nor the logo at startup) more by cons I have duplicates in the settings menu ...
What is the CSC file?

The Canadian firmware you got it or? On sammobile I find it not:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/
The Canadian firmware is stock or operator?
I would have access to all the bands?
Its the firmware with the "w" at the end. Please read this thread for all the information on doing this and make sure you want to do it.

so to do this we actually have to go to the canadian firmware first, do the csc change then flash the Tmo firmware? You can't just flash the Tmo Firmware via the modded Odin? Just to save confusion.
I would imagine it's worth it just to get the proper network options, VOLTE, WiFi calling and such.

This is the exact thread that I used. Follow the steps and you can skip engboot. If you flash the full Canadian firmware, its impossible to reverse. So, only flash whatever is in the steps. I successfully went from Verizon To T-Mobile and then back to Verizon. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/switch-to-carrier-firmware-100-t3609487

I have an AT&T variant of the S10 (SM-G973) and I wanted to flash the stock One UI ROM that is found on the unlocked S10 (SM-G970). Does anyone know if the firmware for the 970 can be flashed successfully on a 973 phone?

Why would you want to flash G970 firmware onto G973 phone? Can't you just flash G973 firmware onto your G973 phone?
My understanding is that the G973 firmware has the AT&T Bloatware and some functions/tiles hidden (like the mobile data tile for quick settings). I'm hoping I can do the stock firmware from G970 to not deal with the bloatware and have more access.

Use SamFirm tool to download firmware you need ( I have attached zip file) and check out example image on how to search and download firmware your phone needs.
So under model, you would put SM-G973U1 (which should be unlocked model) and region you would put XAA (unlocked model) and click "check update" IF YOUR MODEL IS DIFFERENT FROM MY EXAMPLE, THEN ENTER THE CORRECT MODEL AND REGION YOU NEED

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:

Not officially, no. However I don't think samsung pay will work in the US on a Korean Note9 anyway, so if you unlock the bootloader and root you can flash a CSC changer to get all of the ATNT features (including voLTE/voWIFI). You will void your warranty and lose knox/Samsung Pay.

you can't flash snapdragon firmware on a exynos device. but regardless, just pop the sim and be happy. no need to change CSC for voice and data.
but if you do root as the suggested then you can get the additional csc features by flashing a csc pack.

Exactly which CSC pack can I use and where do I get it?
I am in the exact same situation: Korean SM-G960N, rooted, on AT&T's network with Android 9.
Do I extract the CSC from the latest SM-G960U1 file and flash that with Odin? Can I use an Android 10 CSC on an Android 9 phone?

Are you looking for AT&T specifically? Cause from what I know they don't release them. I used N960U since the 1 is the unlocked version software. Sorry I can't be much help beyond what I know of AT&T files. Best of luck.

The last 2 times I updated I used the Comcast files to update my note9 i got from AT&T i am currently on the newest release this way and everything seems to work at least the limited options I use from AT&T.
I'm using an unlocked U1 on T-mobile US and just used the google dialer to switch CSC to XAR (Which I don't think you HAVE to do). Just use frija and download SM-F916W region XAC and use Odin patched. Up and running with no issues.

Is there any drawbacks whatsoever for changing your CSC?
Or let me rephrase, do you still have 5G, Wifi Calling, samsung pay, etc.?

XAC?
After looking on Frija I'm seeing XAR is for SM-F916U1 and it's US based Android 10. Not sure how you got Android 11. If you meant XAC there's no option to change the CSC to that.

My apologies i was running on very little sleep. I did indeed use XAC in Frija. So I suppose you could try leaving it on TMB and flashing since i flashed the XAC version for SM-F916W over XAR on my U1. I do have a bunch of extra dev options though that i'm not sure would be exactly the same. I will confirm later but so far, I haven't found a dialer code on XAR that works to change CSC on version CTLL with XAC. But your sim will automatically flip your network CSC to TMB regardless. I'll update my previous posts thanks for the catch.

Like i mentioned in my post above, so far, I haven't found a dialer code that opens up the CSC menu on the new version. I'm going to try again shortly but your sim will automatically set your network to TMB. I can say that VOLTE and WFC works much more efficiently for me on the new version. You just have to wait for setup to complete and the WFC option will appear as usual.
ODIN allowed you to flash SM-F916W firmware on a SM-F916U1 model? Typically cross flashing between models fails when using ODIN and even if it let you, you'd probably be soft-bricked.
This does work. I have tried it. My fold 2 was bought from Samsung unlocked. It now shows the device as SM-F916W. I am with AT&T and 5g doesn't show up but everything else seems to run just fine.
I was also able to go back to u1 firmware with CSC XAA .

Yeah the patched ODIN 3.1.4 did work in this case. I did some checking of the partitioning among various regions/versions and the canadian version didn't really require any changes so i thought i'd take a chance. I do have 5G so that tells me you need to apply sales/network CSC of something that isn't carrier locked prior to updating and everything should work ok. That's speculation and my personal experience.

This isn't surprising at all. Since the Galaxy S8 and Note 8, the U models and the W models have all been cross compatible with firmware. They are actually the same exact device, and the W only indicates it's running Canadian firmware. Just like the U1 indicates it's non-carrier branded and U indicates it's a carrier model. No issues cross flashing at all.

916B and 916U are not the same devices. There are hardware differences, so you can't crossflash firmware.

Flashing firmware doesn't do anything to affect the locked or unlocked status. Many, many people here have flashed U1 firmware on locked U devices over the last few years.

I honestly have no idea. I'd check some of the other Samsung forums, like the Note 20 or Note 10 forums.you may find an answer there as they are more popular devices.

Edit: although it samsung pay Canada all I had to the was verify my samsung password and accept samsung pass terms and I was good to go everything is there and works as it should.
