Guys , Today I downloaded more than 4 Firmwares , I download France Firmwares XEF , but my CSC not changed, Tried with New Zealand and switched to XEF again but nothing happened, ****, after 15 Hour no success still,
WTF is Wrong?
What should I do?
Now I want to NAND Erase my note 8, Do you think it help?
I've just done it (my original CSC is SEE) - took SIM and SD card out, flashed in odin NZ firmware with CSC (not HOME CSC!). Next step was booting & initial setup (only wifi login, nothing else) and factory reset from settings as soon I've made it through setup. After boot i've powered down the phone and flashed XEF firmware (again with CSC) and after that again only setup wifi and nothing else. My CSC was succesfully changed to XEF/XEF/SEE and oreo update was available Made another factory reset and finally inserted SD and SIM card.

The important thing is you need take out SIM before flashing.
Hi there,
Is it possible to change the CSC of my note9 SM-N960F from Australia (XSA) to Singapore (XSP)? I believe both are part of the multi CSC OXM firmware but there's little information on how to go about changing the CSC.
So far I've tried the following 2 methods but unfortunately, I'm still stuck on the XSA CSC.
Method 1:
- Power off the device
- remove the sim tray.
- Go to recovery , HOLD bixby button + Volume up together , and power up
- In recovery , chose factory reset .. This will give a warning and then reset everything
- Choose power off , in the recovery and insert sim tray .. you should do this before booting up as your CSC will be configured when you will start
- Power on the phone , wait and . then chose restart to system now when asked
- wait and after reboot. CSC remains unchanged
Method 2:
*#272*IMEI# to change CSC but I'm getting the "connection problem or invalid MMI code"
any input would be greatly appreciated!
hello
you can try this solution in post 67 : https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...n960n-n960u-n960u1-n960w-n9600-t3833721/page7

Hi, I have tried the solution in post #67 but my CSC is still XSA. Is it possible to just download the XSP OXM firmware and flash via odin without tripping knox?
at this time i'm unable to make a working N960 CSC file with only one CSC ( noboby is able to signe CSC file ) and as combination file don't work for this device the only solution is to find a working secret code
sorry and regards
I have N960U usa unloacked, on 8.1.
I also have Thai SIM CARD not in use.
There is any way i can upgrade to Pie 9.0 without loosing call recording?
If i get THL CSC on my N960U i think call tecording will work.
Sny way to do this?
METOD TO CHANGE CSC (tested on N960FD) Install this rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/development/rom-galaxy-project-t3911947 choose csc. then you can come back to your rom, I came back because I like a lot of modifications but this rom is also nice. After this operation It should be good. it helped me. I had CSC BTU samsung and I could not change the method, I did not try with the combination rom because I did not want to play like that. I know that some roms have options to choose the csc at installation and I have used it.
I hope I helped

Hello, I am trying to switch from an Orange operator rom to a Samsung XEF rom, the problem is that when I flash everything goes normally but the rom does not flash and remains in Orange rom. Yet I have no error message.
For some reason I can't get it to detect my phone after plugging it in. Odd.

Yes. Windows is supposed to automatically install the drivers when you plug in your phone.
You may also install them by installing Smart Switch for PC.
give me custom rom first, then will worry how to flash it
Is there any reason (that we know of) why flashing an AT&T device to the unlocked ROM wouldn't work this year as it has in years past?

Hello, I'm trying to switch from the Orange operator to the Samsung XEF rom ROM, the problem is that when I blink, everything goes normally, but the ROM doesn't blink and stays in the Orange rom. I need to make a mistake.

I have the same problem I have orx and I would like xez, dbt multicsc rom via Odin didn't help either
edit:
Problem solved, via Samkey application, S21 5G is already supported
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 SFR (part of OXM multi pack), and flash it with BTU (part of OXM multi pack) the SFR 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), 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.
EDIT. It works with other models as well, usually there is a domain language in each multi csc pack, and for flagship models it's usually DBT or BTU, for cheaper phones it's usually a langauge where the phone sells the most so for some A series models it's either ROM or XEO or XCZ

Thanks for that!
I am from Brazil and wanted to install my regional stock ROM but everytime I did it, it went back to my carrier's ROM.
What I did in this case was installing an OXM csc (the german DBT) and then trying again with my stock regional ROM (ZTO).
Removed my SIM card and didn't connect to wifi untill I was sure the stock ROM sticked to the phone.
PS: If anyone reading wants a rom from the OXM multipack and is having troubles, try using the Brazilian ZTO stock rom and then go back to yours.

That's true. ZTO is part of a multi csc pack OWO, so it will work for OXM. Good job mate
My S21 Ultra 5G from AT&T is somehow not getting updates and seems to be stuck on ATLF firmware with the December 1, 2020 security patch. Called AT&T...they blamed Samsung and sent me to Samsung. Samsung blamed AT&T and wants me to travel 50 miles away to a Ubreakifix store (official Samsung repair center). Today I called again and AT&T had me factory reset the phone with the result being the same - - no update - software is up to date.
Frija seems to be downloading the newest AUC8 firmware when I put in the model of SM-G998U with ther correct US code which I hope is the AT&T rom.
Is the firmware from Frija safe?

hi there
I have done this recently, perhaps with a slight fail on my sight, since i updated to the latest OXM pack, since i wanted to switch to DBT from DTM (german telekom) without reading this thread and your post first. So my phone didn't switch from DTM to DBT. until yesterday i had to wait for the updated security patch for OWO pack to switch. So all went fine and i switched from DTM OXM to OWO and back to OXM again.
But basically here starts my problem (if it is a problem, not sure yet):
My phone switched not to DBT, instead it went to EUX, which i guess is the generic code for complete EU countries? i am not sure, since i couldn't find the sales code or CSC for this anywhere tbh. i have two SIM prepaid SIM cards from a third party o2 contractor, so normally (i have done it on my Note 10 plus), like you mentioned, it should ask you to customize your phone and switch to DBT, but for me it simply doesn't ask or go to DBT at all. It simply keeps the EUX. Which i would not have a problem with, when i get regular updates with it like i would on DBT.
If anyone could give me a hint how to change to DBT or what i did wrong, i would appreciate the help. If EUX is fine for getting updates, i am also fine with that, if someone can confirm this. on OWO the software updater said please contact a samsung service center, since i have german SIMs in the phone, but with OXM package and CSC on EUX currently it just says "software is up to date" so it can connect to the update servers if that helps.
A short pm would be appreciated or maybe some help from an experienced user (more than me lol) via telegram as well.
Cheers
Mike
Oy, when I try to run frija, it tells me I need to have Visual c++ 2008 installed?!
EDIT: Finally found the download for it, but Frija doesn't seem to have firmware for the S21+
I was working with someone to find a way to remove Retail Mode from our S21 (SM-G991U1 XAA), and when using Odin to flash, we accidentally used the same firmware BL file for every section of the install. Now the phone is stuck in download mode, and we can't find a firmware download with replacement AP or CP files. Only a single BL .md5 file, or a set of files that don't seem to fix the problem. I found a link here on the forums to what appears to be exactly what we need, but it takes hours to download for some reason, and then fails partway through each time. Always at a different point in the download, too. Sometimes it gets to 2.5GB, other times 3.7GB, but never the whole file. That link is over in this thread:
G991U and G991U1 Firmware Links and Flashing Discussion Here
This was the link I followed:
U1 firmware
Any thoughts? Any help getting pointed in the right direction would be much appreciated. !
thank you so much , what CSC country has Call recording setting ?

Hi there!
I'm from Brazil, here we use the ZTO CSC, but this file is ARO/ZTO/ZTA. Every time i flash the files on ODIN i got ARO active on the phone, not the ZTO. I have both sims to be brazilian operators (ZTO) but it still gets ARO active.
Somebody have any solutions for this?
Thank you!
Use SamKey

Are you using the CSC_OYM or whatever it is called in the firmware pack instead of the HOME_CSC at time to flash it through Odin?.
Formatting data via stock recovery prior to go to Odin and then flashing the proper firmware including the proper CSC file to clean all the remanent carrier traces may solve it, I think.
Yes

Hey,
I successfully unbricked my device.
If it fail you are flashing wrong FIRMWAR. HAPPENED TO ME FEW TIMES.

Follow this, it's very safe since you are flashing Stock Rom.
In order to get your CSC regional code you need to contact Samsung. This is really boring since you will have to deal with multiple agents from customer support.
I first contacted Samsung US via Live Chat under support... and they didn't provide any details about product Region at first. So I contacted them few times until they helped me.
YES SPAM THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN.
DONT EVEN SAY YOU ARE NOT FROM US AND DONT MENTION HARD BRICK OR ANYTHING.
So, according to them, my device is for Germanic region (I already knew this, I had some HSH Hotel bloatware).
I contacted German support via live chat and my device is from Austria.
VOILA.
Now that I know which region it is I need to check CSC Region Codes and I made a list.
I searched for them online until I matched codes on the left and Telecoms (carriers) on the right.
Austria (csc codes are on the left and Telecoms on the right):
CSC Regional Codes = Telecoms
AOM = AUSTRIA - unknown /generic probably
MOK = AUSTRIA - unknown /generic probably
TTR = Austria - magenta (former telering/t.mobile)
TRG = AUSTRIA - TELERING
MAX = AUSTRIA - t-mobile
DRE = AUSTRIA - Drei 3 (former Orange)
ONE = AUSTRIA - Orange
MOB = AUSTRIA - a1
ATO = AUSTRIA - Open Austria - directly from Samsung
So, I contacted Drei 3 and A1, I spam them a lot and eventually both agents answered my device is not on their list.
Since my device was SIM UNLOCKED I decided to flash ATO since it's Open and directly from Samsung AUSTRIA.
FIRMWARE
Caution, I didn't like 7.1.1 since I want Root.
So I flashed 5.1.1.
YES I HAD 7.1.1 BEFORE BRICK BUT I FLASHED BOTH 7.1.1 and then I flashed 5.0 for testing purpose. You can chose 1 of them and both are safe.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So now that I know which CSC Firmware I want to flash I have to download it. Yes, Firmware is same terminology for Stock ROM.
I downloaded mine from GALAXYFIRMWARE .COM
You could download older firmware if you want, I flashed both for TESTING
I had firmware 7.1.1 and that one I downloaded.
7.1.1 ATO
Then I downloaded 5.0.2 ATO
Choose which one you need.
Then Extract zip in 1 folder.
ODIN
Download unpatched
Patched Odin 3.13.1
For those looking for a modified, modded, or patched odin that is a newer build than all the fake and renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around. I patch recent Odin versions to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy; in that...
forum.xda-developers.com
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I leaved CHECKED AutoReboot and F.Reset
FLASHING
FOR 7.1.1
Now, every file from extracted zip make sure it matches Odin box:
BL file is going into BL slot
AP file is going into AP slot
CP file is going into CP slot
CSC file is going into CSC slot
For 5.0
There will be only 1 extracted file.
It goes into AP slot
Now make sure your Tab is turned off.
If not, remove back cover and unplug battery and plug it back again.
Download mode:
Press Home + Power + Volume Down
(at the same time)
When prompted blue window, press Volume UP
Now connect it to Odin and wait 2minutes to connect.
Start flashing.
If it fail you are flashing wrong FIRMWAR. HAPPENED TO ME FEW TIMES.
PIT FILE
USE This if ABOVE FAILE.
I did not test this.
Okay for some reason you are really in bad position and you really want to flash PIT.
Well you can extract Pit from 7.1.1 CSC.
Copy CSC file to Desktop and rename it to .zip extension:
It will look something like this:
CSC_ATO_T555ATO1CRH1_CL14058996_QB19181858_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now extract it and look for Pit extension file.
Its something like:
GT510LTE_EUR_OPEN.pit
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NOW make sure in ODIN Re-Partition is CHECKED.
Now that you have it and you are flashing with PIT.
IN ODIN THERE IS PIT OPTION CLICK ON IT.
IN PIT SLOT PUT PIT.
IN OTHER SLOTS PUT OTHER FILES FROM EXTRACTED ZIP.
Btw if you know how to root this device Android 5 or 6.
Let me know.
