Hello! I have an S10 but it's CSC is Austria. Since I live in Bulgaria, I want to flash stock firmware through Odin. Am I going to still get OTA updates when they are available for my country and is it possible that my data isn't wiped?
EDIT: I flashed the firmware, everything went fine and most importantly I kept my data!
Why bother with risky processes , at some point or time , your phone will receive the OTA update.......
yes you can pass the csc for bulgaria without problems just to not lose your data you will pass the HOME _CSC.
receive the OTA update normally...

Hi,
Recently got a Note 8 and found it was the Italian version with the CSC code TIM.
I then used Odin to flash the latest Oreo BTU firmware, and afterwards wiped the cache and reset to factory settings.
However, I'm not sure if this will allow future OTA firmware updates?
My brother also has a Note 8 which was the UK version and upgraded to Oreo via OTA, and using the phone info app, found his firmware versions and CSC codes were identical to mine, so I'm not sure if my phone will receieve OTA updates for BTU or not?
If not, what steps do I need to follow to ensure I do?
Thanks
I flashed my uae import to XEU and then VOD oreo. I am getting OTA updates.
Hi guys!
I have the exynos variant, SM-N950F, and switched to the France firmware to get the oreo update. I switched back to my home CSC when it prompted me to factory reset when i inserted my sim.
Apparently, i am not getting OTA updates even if its already available in my country (PH).
Need help in what i need to do to get OTAs again.
Thanks!

I would flash the latest firmware for your home region through Odin and see if you get the next OTA (also use home_csc so it doesn't wipe data).
My N950FD is XSG and it received OTAs, but then I flashed BTU firmware and OTAs stopped even though my CSC was still XSG. So I just flashed the newest XSG firmware with Odin, and will see if I get the June update when it's released.
A factory reset can sometimes work. Has for me in the past.
Couple of months ago I did not have my phone for about 5 weeks, saw there had been an update since but when I got it back, nothing. Factory reset and it popped up on the first boot.
Hi. I've flashed Pie firmware via odin a few months ago just to get Pie earlier. This week, I wanted to get OTA updates so I've flashed stock firmware I've downloaded via SamFirm. I can't receive any OTA. Its on April update and still says software up to date. I've wiped data via recovery a few times; but still doesn't work. How can I get OTA to work? Knox is 0x0 and my csc is TUR/TUR/TUR. Phone came with TUR csc, too.

Download SamFirm then download the firmware you want. Flash BL, AP, MODEM, HOME CSC (NOT CSC). You will not lose your data. Google "Home CSC" purpose if you are in doubt.
I have Note 9 with Indonesian Firmware and im thinking to flash Australian firmware. I checked the phone model number and its exactly same (N960F/DS). what im worried about is
1. if I flash Australian firmware, would I keep getting the notification if theres any patch / software update or I'll have to find the update manually?
2. if I still get the patch / software update notification, would I get the Australian ver. or the original (Indonesian) ver? (im afraid if its different)
3. Would Samsung Pay System work in Australian firmware? ( I read if you flash different firmware to the phone model, some functions wont work including Samsung Pay System).
Any help would greatly appreciated
1. if I flash Australian firmware, would I keep getting the notification if theres any patch / software update or I'll have to find the update manually?
if you flash the firmware with the Austrailian CSC, you will only get updates from carriers within that CSC in accordance with what network your SIM is connecting to. Only time you flash them manually is if you have an aftermarket recovery such as TWRP
2. if I still get the patch / software update notification, would I get the Australian ver. or the original (Indonesian) ver? (im afraid if its different)
see above
3. Would Samsung Pay System work in Australian firmware? ( I read if you flash different firmware to the phone model, some functions wont work including Samsung Pay System).
samsung pay doesnt work in certain countries period. that might be what youve been seeing

I tried to flash with Global Australian CSC (not for any specific carrier) and I was be able to get update OTA. Now, the problem is after I flashed Au firmware (incl, BL, AP, CP, CSC) with Odin3B, somehow the service provider software has changed to AUT/AUT/XID while previously XID/XID/XID which is weird. I tried flash using HOME CSC file and couple times I re-download the firmware and flashed other unlocked au firmwares (with android 10 version) it still gave me AUT (Switzerland) instead of XSA (Australia).
Any idea why?
