Note 8 can't flash with another country firmware - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi
I bought my note 8 SM-N950F years ago at Singapore with Singtel. My current CSC is SIN and now i wish to flash a new firmware (Malaysia XME). I followed all the procedure online, i downloaded XME frimware from SAMFIRM and flashed with odin. But in the end, im just like factory reset my phone and the firmware still is SIN instead of XME. I had been using SIN firmware for years with no problem, the only problem is my samsung pay was locked in Singapore. Yes i can install and open it, but the UI and function was designed to use in Singapore but not Malaysia.
Please Help.

use the CSC file and not the HOME_CSC.
Note this will wipe your phone
I made it..the csc no the home_csc
I live in greece thats why i download tge eur firmware
In phone info says
Product code:sm-n950fzkaeur
Original csc code:nothing
Firmware's csc code:nothing
Active csc code:eur
Available csc codes:nothing
Csc country:segr/gr
Mobile operator:vodafone gr/20205
Before i made flash in the ative csc was writing dtm and other product code and csc country
I think i made it change or no?
And i go to software information/service provider sw ver. It says
eur/eur/dtm
If i put the note 8 in recovery mode it says multiple csc and active code eur
With this i well get eur ota updates?
So confused

eur/eur/dtm the last CSC will never change as this is hardcoded in the phone firmware.
If the first two are EUR/EUR then you have the correct CSC for OPEN Greece firmware.

HELP!! Impossible to change xsg (united arab states) Firmware

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.

Thanks for answering. I have an orange spanish Sim. What I need is that all the functionalities that should have the note 8 work in Spain, like samsung Pay. And for that I need to have a Spanish csc, right? What should I do? I do not want to lose the samsung guarantee? Thank you

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

you flash the stockfirmware of an ireland carrier. figure out the CSC code for a provider of that region you want.( you might try DBT if u dont come up with one)
use samfirm tool 0.3.6(check app logs for any missing dependancies) and download the firmware file using these settings:
phone model: SM-N960F
csc: the 3 letter code of the carrier you want.
use odin 3.13.1 to flash the produce of the extracted file above once finished downloading.( fill in the slots: BL,AP,CP,CSC (for csc use csc.md5 not home_csc...)
you can search for how toos in any of the 2 procedures above.
data might be wiped so beware.

Hey just wanted to understand if this affects warranty. Also if you can post step by step guide on how to do this with samkey?
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 MEO (part of OXM multi pack), and flash it with TPH (part of OXM multi pack) the MEO 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), try to flash Brazil csc ZTO, it's part of multi pack OWO. 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.
Hello.
In my own case, I bought the SM-G998B from Korea, which is KOO/KOO/KOO, and I live in Africa. I won't mind being able to flash on OXM or any other multi-csc firmware, just so long as I can use my sim card here.
All I'm getting right now is limited service, and the option to select network operators is completely missing from my phone.
my s21U original comes with XSP CSC and firmware.. i have tried flashing to XME the flashing is ok and everything except that under software provider it still shows XSP... will it affect me receiving ota from XME?

N960F/DS Firmware wrongly detected

So I bought Note 9 in Indonesia with XID firmware, and I tried to change it to Australian XSA firmware so I can use Australian Samsung Pay. I was thinking the process should be easy since Indonesian and Australian Note 9 has the same version (F/DS, Exynos, Dual Sim Hybrid), but turns out its not. When I flashed it with XSA firmware the phone somehow detect the Switzerland AUT firmware. I re-checked the tar file, re downloaded from different website, tried to flash the Switzerland AUT firmware too, tried to flash with Odin and Odin 3B, and the result is still the same.
Is this a common problem? I just want to be able to use Samsung Pay on my Note 9.
These are the download source that I get the firmware from
