Hi, I want to change my CSC to AUT/AUT/AUT/ZTO (I've read that you can't change the last code...) to get faster updates.
I live in Brazil (ZTO) so I'm doing this just to get updates faster. If I flash via ODIN the newest firmware using CSC instead of HOME_CSC will I be able to achieve AUT/AUT/AUT/ZTO and get OTA updates?
Will it trip Knox?
Will I ever be able to return to ZTO/ZTO/ZTO/ZTO? Thanks!

Normally no need to worry about the last part(ZTO). The main thing for you to get AUT. So if you flash regular CSC file it will wipe your data, but HOME CSC should not. I always used CSC file when flashing firmware. Try to see if you can get results you want from the first flash. In my case, I re-flashing 2 or 3 times to get what I wanted and used 3 different Odin versions. Normally after flashing, when you put your sim card in(on the welcome screen), the phone should see the sim and tell you if you want to apply carrier settings(do it) and phone will restart.
If you use official Samsung firmware, it should not trip Knox(never had issue with this)
You can flash your phone back to original ZTO firmware, when you need to.
In my case, I have S10e(single sim) unlocked(XAA) - US version. When I first put my sim card in, the phone applied carrier settings(T-Mobile) and became TMB/TMB/XAA, but the firmware was still from unlocked model. After that, I flashed T-Mobile firmware onto my phone and got features that T-Mobile branded S10e has.

I think you may have a Chinese version of S10+. I think they have 2 CSC versions: TGY which is Hong Kong and CHC which is Open China. Find out which one you have, TGY or CHC. I don't know for sure, but when I searched online, it shows that Samsung Pay is supported in Hong Kong.

Hi Guys,
I purchased a Note 8 (950F) through Gumtree and although I knew it had the Telstra firmware,
I figured I'll just flash the regular Australian XSA unbranded firmware via Odin
and get rid of the Telstra branding as I have done in the past with other Samsungs.
Currently I use an Optus sim (which works) but have lost VoLTE and WiFi calling.
I have tried searching through these forums for a solution but can't get a clear answer.
When I flash the unbranded XSA firmware (BL, AP, CP and CSC, NOT Home_CSC)
I still get the Telstra branding and the software info remains on TEL/TEL/TEL.
Is this normal now? Are we forced to buy a phone from a network carrier if we want to use their services?
Or is there a way to make the switch but I am just overlooking something.
I don't want to root the phone or install anything custom as this will break some banking apps that I'm using.
Please help...
Currently I'm on XEF/XEF/VAU because just upgraded to Oreo, the original CSC is VAU/VAU/VAU
0. Backup your data
1. Download New Zealand or other country firmware.
2. Take both SIM and SD card out.
3. Flash the firmware of other country using CSC, not home_csc
4. Then check your CSC, should be changed.
I did't test the following steps, but I will try this weekend.
5. Flash back to Australia firmware.
6. Check the CSC number, should be changed to XSA
7. Insert SIM card.

Thanks for your input, I was considering this as I want Oreo as well but not game enough to try and mix other countries CSC's yet.
I read somewhere that Oreo will be widely available for most countries as of 1st of April, so I might wait till then and try again.
This does NOT necessarily mean Oz...
Remember, we are at the end of the list to get it as our stupid legal system upheld some patents on icons that Apple took out...
Also, if you're with any of the Telco's, add at least 6 months to that date...
Did you ever manage to get this sorted out? I'm in a similar boat to you, I have an Optus device but a Telstra Sim, when using the Telstra sim, I have no option for VoLTE, but when I use my Optus sim I do. Would like to get VoLTE and other features working on my Telstra sim.
Hi. I need help please. After reading some topic about flash stock Roms I have ventured to change the firmware to my note 8, because I got xsg / xsg / xsg, from emirates arab states or something like that. It came with version 8.0.0 but I prefer to have Spanish or at least European. I have flashed with odin I think 6 or 7 times already. with sim inside, without sim, with active em, deactivated .. with hard reset after installation .. I have even dared to put the pit that, as a partner said that it had gone well. And always finishes flashing well, in pass, and restarting the terminal after installing the firmware. BUT I DO NOT HAVE TO CHANGE THE REGION, AND ALWAYS GOES OUT XSG, XSG, XSG .. I'm already desperate, and that's why now I have to ask for help. I do not know what else to do. I have flaseahdo another version, Spanish oreo, but not the last, and the same. Any charitable soul? Thank you

Some of these official firmwares contain multiple CSCs. If you don't have a local sim card for one of the other regions in there, then it will always default to XSG. Unless you are rooted of course, in which case you can flash a csc-changer zip or a custom rom that includes one. Otherwise you need a local sim, or you can flash a different firmware that isn't multi-csc (which will change your CSC to ???/???/XSG, where "???" is the region csc for that specific firmware you just flashed).

@sefrcoko has the answer you want.
There are various firmware sites available. In this instance, I am going to recommend Updato.
Follow this link and download the firmware for your Region/Carrier:
https://updato.com/firmware-archive...r=AMO,PHE,XEC,ATL&order=date&dir=desc&exact=1
Perform a factory reset on your device. Flash your preferred firmware using Odin.
XSG will still remain and the only way to change the CSC will be to root your device and change it yourself.

Thank you for answering. I do not care if I put xsg, but I need to have samsung pay working here, and at the moment I have not got it. I have already flashed several official roms from that download page. Spanish free, German, French, UK .. none has changed anything in my note 8 and I still do not have samsung pay. What I can do?

The CSC for Spain Orange is AMO, which I believe is not included in the multi-csc firmware for XSG. So using your orange sim wouldn't trigger that particular csc, because it's not there to begin with.
If it were me, I would download the latest Note 8 N950F firmware for Spain Orange (AMO) from updato.com, sammobile, or the SamFirm tool and flash in download mode using latest Odin. Use all four firmware files in Odin (with the 'csc' file, not 'home_csc'). Be warned, this will WIPE your data. Make backups and read-up first if not familiar with anything. Your CSC would likely become AMO/AMO/XSG. I don't use Samsung Pay so not sure what's needed or if this will work for that, but it should at least give you that Spanish Orange CSC, and this is stock firmware anyway so it will not trip Knox, etc. You could always flash XSG firmware back again if something doesn't work out.

As you said, I downloaded the latest AMO firmware from samfirm and installed it with ODIN. I no longer have the Emirates XSG, but I do not have the Orange Spain AMO either. I do not know why the FTM version of Orange France has been installed. I have seen that the CSC and PDA files are identical to those of AMO, but I do not have Spanish Orange firmware. What can be the reason? Is the file of the samfirm servers wrong? I do not know how to prove it. Thank you

Hmm not sure, in that case maybe the Spain Orange firmware is also multi-csc then, but with different countries that the UAE firmware and it defaults to FTM? Strange though, as it should still switch to AMO with your sim card... maybe try one of the csc-change dialer codes? Not sure it will work but worth a try. Otherwise maybe remove sim, factory reset, then insert Spain orange sim? Just grasping at straws here now...
He descargado la Rom AMO directamente de Sammobile y veo que es diferente de la que descargue de Samfirm. Estoy flasheando, a ver si ahora se instala la AMO de verdad

Translation:
"I downloaded the Rom AMO directly from Sammobile and I see that it is different from the one I downloaded from Samfirm. I'm flashing, let's see if the real AMO is installed now"
(Please include English translation, it's an English forum)
Ok that would explain why it didn't work last time...keep us posted
Hi guys,
I'm thinking about change my Note 9 (Brazilian version) firmware for a non carrier branded firmware in order to get rid of the carrier's bloatwares and also to get more often and recent updates.
Currently my device is running the following configuration: Current Version (when I try OTA update) N9600ZHS1ASB2/N9600OWA1ARK1/N9600ZCU1ARK1, Baseband N9600ZCU1ARK1, Build Number M1AJQ.N9600ZHS1ASB2, Service Provider Sw ver SAOMC_SM-N9600_OWA_ZTA_00_0025 ZTA/ZTA, ZTA/ZTA.
I've noticed at Sammobile that the Brazilian not carrier branded version of Android 9 Pie was just released two days ago.
As I run every one of my devices in English, the language of the firmware doesn't matter to much.
I would like to know what firmware versions I can put on my device without messing with the Knox "fuse". Can the ZTO version available in Sammobile be flashed on my device without any problems with Knox?
There are any other country firmware that I can flash on my device without messing with Knox and that could bring me OTA updates more often and in a more timely manner?
If any of the above mentioned options is viable, can someone help me with flashing in order to me get it done right? I already used Odin in the past, so, I think that just a brief explanation of what files are needed and if exists some kind of think that I need to pay special attention on the process (for example, found somewhere on internet someone that says that there are differences is the device is wiped or factory reseted after the update or not).
I really appreciate if someone could help me.

Hey all
Strange one here, i have a SM-G977B (S10 5G on EE UK), i have unlocked it and trying to flash BTU firmware on it via ODIN (download fw from sammobile)
It flashes ok and passes but when phone starts up its CSC is TEL! (Australia!!)
I have re done the flash with XEU and still the same. firmware version says TEL/TEL/EVR in settings
any ideas on this? can this model be flashed to a different region? i want it on BTU not EVR (EE UK)
tried few versions of ODIn too, and left all check boxes default
Thanks
ok, i have reflashed the latest EVR firmware back to the phone and it has taken this fine
Wonder why it doesnt like BTU or XEU?
What firmware files were you trying to flash specifically?
Sounds like you downloaded the wrong one. What are the names of the firmware files you flashed?

Hi
Tried these
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/firmware/SM-G977B/BTU/download/G977BXXS2ASJ7/299842/
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/firmware/SM-G977B/XEU/download/G977BXXS2ASJ7/299840/
The above all flash on in Odin, but when the phone starts (even with uk sim in the phone) it defaults to Australia language and 2x Telstra apps install automatically, software info says tel/tel/evr
I then tried this one:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/firmware/SM-G977B/VOD/download/G977BXXU2ASJ5/299590/
And the above install the 2x Vodafone uk apps automatically which is fine as I am on Vodafone uk but in software Info is still says vod/vod/evr
What my issue is now is I don’t seem to get 5g on this phone even though I’m on a a 5g contract and has worked previously on a note10+ 5g handset.
Is this handset 5g modem locked to ee?

OK, well I have always had to do that to change CSC via FW flash since the S9 range was released in 2018.
I am waiting for postman to deliver my S10 5G today so will try to flash BTU with OEM Unlock enabled, and let you know the outcome.
(If it doesn't work for me, i will do same as you and flash a network specific FW via Odin - H3G is my network provider).

Hello,
I have the same phone (SM-G977B), I exchanged it with someone in Shanghai (without a box, stupid me)
It was rooted with some CHC firmware (which did not let me download any Google play services), I tried to root the phone (my first time) and ended up re-locking the bootloader.
Later on, while trying different things, I ended up deleting the firmware from TWRP (as I formatted the data, cache folders/directories) as it was not booting up (bootloop on Samsung logo).
Long story short (and rather sad and stupid):
I have a brick phone which has no SD card slot, No OS installed, I do not know the original CSC (except that it was bought in some country in Europe), other firmwares does not flash with Odin (gives me Repartition error failed error), I am unable to mount the device (thought I could transfer the firmware using MTP), I can not change TWRP (downgrade or upgrade) as disk won't mount (for some reasons). I have formatted the disk, changes its format to ext4, ext2 etc.
Any ideas?
My US S10+ (G975U - AT&T) isnt getting any software updates (still Android 9, One UI 1.1) because I dont live in the US. I am thinking of flashing it so I can unlock my phone, be free from At&t to get updates but I have a few questions as I’m very new to this.
1. I see G975- U1, F, W, 0, N models for the firmwares, can I use any to flash my device? Which should I use?
2. Will I lose my data during the process?
3. Which CSC code should I look for so I can get updates from now on regardless of my SIM card? I’m using Canadian Freedom SIM.
Thank you

1. You can only flash U and U1 firmware. U firmware
is carrier based, U1 is carrier free based from Samsung. Flashing F, W, O, N firmware will brick your phone.
2. Yes, but only the internal memory as it won't touch a SD card if you have one inserted.
3. Whichever CSC code comes with the unlocked U1 firmware.

Thanks so much for replying. Should I use Home CSC or the CSC file to flash from U to U1? In what case can I use which one? Thanks again.

Hi, I was researching and it says I HAVE TO use CSC when unlocking my phone from a carrier so I guess I don’t have a choice in this case.
From what I see, U and U1 firmwares are both USA, this means I cannot change the country since I cannot flash my phone with F,N,W firmwares? I mean will U1 help me get updates from now on when im using Canadian Sim in Canada?
If you use a Canadian SIM on the U1 firmware, you should get updates.
