I bought my SIM free note 8 from car phone warehouse uk. I recently had it repaired via insurance (damaged screen) got it back on German Vodafone firmware??? God knows but imei is the same. So reflashed the UK btu firmware via Odin from sammobile. But now shows as xeu/xeu/VOD I assume the vod is for Vodafone? I am using a 3 simcard. All works fine but will the /vod make a difference? If so how can I get it back to what it should be. I've already had a 6 week wait for it getting fixed so don't want to send it back.
Thanks in advance

I've heard that Voda is providing 2.3 update for SGS.
Which version (product code) should i be on (or spoof) in order
to get Gingerbread on my phone ?
Originally bought on ebay factory sealed, T-Mobile branded,
(Designated for use in UK), then registry spoofed and flashed
to Froyo. Dont have original rom nor info (versions and prod#).
Bought and use it in UK.
Phone as it stands now is
I9000HKDKOR
PDA XXJPY
Phone XAJPY
CSC XXJPY
P.S. The phone currently is on Vodafone network.
if you have an unlocked phone, with just a vodafone sim you wont get the update from them, The phone has to have vodafone branded firmware in order for kies to update it.
why would you want to keep vodafone firmware ? its full of bloatware,
head over to www.samfirmware.com and register for free, download Gingerbread and follow instructions.
the whole process will take less than 30min
can I flash Canadian firmware (SM-N920W8) on a SM-N920T from t-mobile?
I find it hard to believe nobody can answer this question.
I am with Rogers but purchased the phone outright as a refurb and would like to take advantage of their wifi calling but cannot with t-mobile firmware
How about changing the CSC and if that is possible, how to do?
guess not huh?
I'd love to get an answer to this question. I bought a Note 5 that was originally TMobile and now I'm using it in Canada on freedom mobile. The phone was working great until a few weeks ago when I tried to remove the root that was on it and now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I've tried to flash the N920W8 firmware from Canada but it fails... the backof the device says N920W8.. but when it connects to twrp it says its a N920T.
Guess I should try the 920T firmware with odin... ?

Did you wipe system?
i would like an answer as well. have a note 5 bought here in Canada that was branded tmobile. but unlocked. tried flashing a rom and have had nothing but problems with imei/csc/service with sim card ever since. flashed stock n920t firmware 3 times with 3 different up-to-date firmware files and it hasn't fixed the issue. oddly enough i found out the number on the phones back is actually n920v so it's been rebranded once already. apparently because all phone info and twrp say it's n920t . will flashing Verizon firmware fix this? also if it's already been done once why can't i make the system n920w8 instead of n920t? how was it done than? or can i flash international rom ? really need to get service/imei/baseband/csc in working order. i can't afford a new phone .... so many questions...
i just bought s21 ultra (998b) brand vodafone, i can't debrand it to install thai firmware, i tried flash with Odin with different firmware downloaded but nothing. I also tried to go back with firm vodafone. please help me find a solution
Flashing diffrent firmware wont help,to get rid of all the vodafone apps and logo you need to change CSC from VOD to BTU ,i assume that you are in uk?
at the moment there is no option to change CSC on android 11 so it might take some time for a solution
thanks for the reply, so flashing with ODIN firmware THI won't change anything? I tried, the firmware is loaded but on restart it is always VODAFONE
I'm italian
I need the call recorder

yes no matter what firmware you flash you will still have vodafone logo ,because the CSC code of the phone its customized for vodafone IT (OMN),i have the same issue in UK , i treid to flash several firmware versions but the phone always show vodafone logo and vodafone apps ,so i guess we need to wait for a solution

Same here, S21 Ultra on H3G Uk branding. Tried the last 2 days few different firmwares with no luck .All H3G bootlogo and apps come back after restart. Hopefully Samkey will come out with a fix for this soon.
i get the issue but i find that it doesn't really matter what branding is on there if all yr network perks like wifi calling volte etc work. I got my s21 U from samsung but flatmate got his from vodafone for work and his personal 3 sim works perfectly with wifi calling etc all working.
wont be long until samkey (as said above) will be able to change csc so hang on if the vodafone logo on startup etc bothers you
I'm currently living in Japan, but will be moving back to the US in a couple months, so I recently bought a refurbished Galaxy S20 FE 5g that claimed to be unlocked from the US and had it shipped to Japan.
It works fine with my Japanese sim, but came with AT&T bloatware installed and the model number is still SM-G781U. To my understanding, an unlocked phone should have a '1' after this, signifying that it's unlocked. Because of this, I don't get OTA updated and am still stick on Android 10 and One UI 2.5. So I figured I'd learn how to flash it and do that. It says the CSC is G781UOYN1ATIG, but then when I go to Service Provider it says ATT/ATT/ATT.
Could I just flash the firmware for the SM-G781U1, CSC: XAA onto it and be able to have a fully unlocked and updated phone? Sorry I'm a bit new to this and don't want to brick my phone. Thanks!
I did the opposite (from SM-G781U1 to SM-G781U) and worked with no problems. I needed ATT Wi-Fi calling that worked only with the ATT firmware when I was on Android 10. I suggest to do a factory reset when switching between branded and unbranded but (in theory) you should keep your phone data if you flash the HOME_CSC file.
Hi guys,
I know this was asked, but my case in kinda different.
I have UK version of the phone, BTU and CSC seems to be correct, as others that complained about updates not being pushed had CSC EUX.
Though phone is from UK, it was purchased in Malta as local network operator, not locked or branded to their network, as there is no FW for Malta, they simply get UK unlocked phones.
Any idea how to get updates?
Shall I flash latest FW with odin? Thanks...

Yes you need to flash it with Odin because EUX is a dead circuit.
Thanks. Will do it definitely.
But strange enough is that it's showing BTU not EUX, at least on screenshot.
How stupid is this thing that they kill your phone for updates... :/

I had that issue when i started my phone first time when u purchased it, i use no SIM and that caused the phone to capture EUX CSC instead of NEE (which is the SW for Nordic countries) .. I had to return the phone and i bought another one.
