I was rooted on AOE, but decided to Odin back to stock to update to AO2. The update downloads, but fails to install at 25%.
The phone works fine, and data works, but would like to update. I used an app called Phone Info *Samsung* to find that in the CSC part, Firmware's CSC Code, CSC Country and CSC Country ISO is empty. The other fields do have something in them.
Can I just Odin the CSC_ATT tar.md5 file via the CSC box? or are there settings or anything that I might need to change before I can do that?
Thank you in advance!
Download the stock firmware for your device and flash all 4 files that you will find inside that file all at once.
BTW if your S6 is from AT&T the versions are NOT AOE nor AO2. They are OCE and OE2.

Yes, those are my versions, sorry about the confusion!
Can I flash all 4 without the risk of tripping Knox? I'm concerned about flashing the bootloader in particular.
Thanks again for your help.
Flash all 4 files at once, not individually. Bootloader is locked so no flashing for it.

I tried , but it does not change.
maybe i need the csc file?
anyone?
try a factory reset from recovery i did it that way
Is the CSC editable in software? Or is it Hardware ?
I am also very interested to know if it is possible, as I wait since a month the N920CD (Dual SIM) in 64GB ( for the B20 (800Mhz) frequency in France), which is not out yet ... This would allow me to buy now a N9208 Dual 64GB and change its CSC.
Thank you to tell us if it works

same csc for my note
Found this on xda
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/guide-to-change-csc-root-rom-multi-csc-t3017207
It's for the note 4 but seems that the files mentioned exist in the Note5.
I'm guessing that you will need the csc for whatever country, carrier you want to change to installed.
then make the changes to the files mentioned.
don't forget to make a complete backup before you change anything!
Let us know how it goes.

Is have the 920i which is a multi csc rom.
I was thinking of flashing at&t's csc and changing it to that.
I will give it a shot later today and report back.
So? Have you tried?
Yes but no luck.
Can't seem to extract the at&t rom.
Was hoping to get the CSC folder and try to add it or replace the one on the 920i.
I was able to change my csc just installing lastest xsg firmware with odin!

did you remove anything from the tar file? for example, did you strip everything from the tar except for the system.img? additional details would be helpful (even if you simply flashed the full xsg firmware). thanks!

just flash the firmware in Ap! anything else
It's a really good news !
Living in France, I ordered a N9208 Dual SIM 64GB, but It has not the B20 frequency (800Mhz). By changing the CSC of the N9208 with that of N920CD is it possible to have this frequency?
In other words, changing CSC is it possible to have the frequency of his country with any Galaxy Note 5?
so can i change my csc on my sm-n920k phone
i download a firmware from sam mobile for an israeli firmware and it has a all 4 files
so if i flash it will it change to the new csc

I downloaded the ATT firmware from sammobile but its just giving my phone barebones features. I am trying to get the userdata file for att note 8 for the features.
After much searching and testing i found that the CCT firmware under the SM-950U IS THE ATT VERSION even thou it says unknown i have flashed it and it works without any issues that i am aware of.
i don't think so. i would use this website to download any firmware. its reputable and has been used all across the s8 forums.

From what i gathered and i have personally went up into the ATT stores and asked multiple employees who have new phones to run speed tests its around 8 mbs down apparently att is seriously throttling their networks in major areas. I didnt use a app you can just hover over the app and disable it. most of them can be uninstalled as well the only apps i couldnt kill or get rid of was device help and att remote support
and it seems to be around prime times when it happens. sadly att isnt what they used to be seing as tmobile is rising and verizon right behind them. to bad tmobile has no coverage where i am or id be using them nor verizon.

Hi again, sorry for all the questions... do you have a guide for that? I d/led PrinceComsy's Odin v3.12 and the CCT firmware.
Unfortunately, there's no USERDATA file in my firmware zip. I'm using the SM-N950U1. Can I use the USERDATA file from SM-N950U on my SM-N950U1?
Yes u can use the U version for the U1 the U is for locked software and U1 is unlocked software that's the difference flashing the locked software won't make ur phone locked either just the software your putting on your phone. I didn't use a guide I got the or in from someone else post

I Downloaded The Fw From Sammobile, Yes Its Was Very Slow, Thats Why I Re-upped It Untouched To Androidfilehost, Much Faster To Dl For Others.
Only For Snapdragon Variants, Its The Universal Firmware, Its Free Of Carrier Bloat But Has Some Samsung Useless Apps.
Not For Exynos Variants Like The Sm-g935f, Etc.
MORE ABOUT UNIVERSAL FW READ THIS
The Zip Has The Att Extension But All Universal Snapdragon Fw Are The Same Afaik, It Does Not Install Anything Specific For Att,
Im On Telus/koodo Using The Sm-g935a Without Issues, Shows Lte Signal When On Data Mode.
Idk If Auto Updates Work, Although Update Options Are Available From The System Menu
Instructions:
Dl Zip, Extract Zip, Put Phone In Dl/odin Mode. Run Odin As Admin, And Load Each Cp, Ap, Bl And Csc(Dont Use The Home Csc As I Read Its Fracks Things Up), Just Use "Csc_oym" File In Odin
Fyi. I Used Princes Odin But Failed, Used Untouched Odin And It Flashed Successfully. Was On Nougat 7.0 Sim Unlocked SM-G935A At&t Branded Stock Fw. I Included Both For Your Pleasure.

Hi Vincom, yes i have already read the article. the main reason im flashing the rom is because of the hidden DATA icon in the toggle screen. and also i want my phone to have the OREO update as well. this is my first samsung phone. i have experience in flashing ROMs in my xiaomi redmi 1s phone. so im a bit skeptical if i can do this on my own. this odin process is very new to me. so what is the worst thing that can happen it i brick my phone? can i do a hard reset and will it default to the stock AT&T ROM if ever?

yes and no, csc controls what bloatware and which settings are setup by default dependant on carrier and country, hence why this is a universal fw and not dependant on original csc files.
if u truly have the att s7edge g935a, which is what i had, then yes.

yup i tried that one the first time. thats when it gave me the error message sha256. then i tried the prince odin that gave me the error mmc something.
The author claims performance and battery improvements but has anyone that switched over really noticed that big of a improvement?
I mean i already disabled all the carrier bloat with adhell isn't that basically the same as installing this rom? Does the universal maybe have a different kernal/different system level tweaks?

Samsung Science is only for the US version of the phone's. I wish they had a site like that for the international versions. But you can go to sammobile.com and check if your phone has any upgrades available. I doubt for the N950F that it doesn't have a newer software update, but on my phone the last update I got was in May which is the latest for my model unfortunately.
I have checked this and it looks like there are 3 updates available but I can't get them for some reason.I get a message that my phone is up to date all the time.
Sorry didn't realize you had International..my bad.

No he won't...If he is still stuck on the March update (see post 1) then he is not getting updates at all. It's not a question of staggered releases for different countries, it's likely because his CSC doesn't match.

You can search updato.com or sammobile for the proper firmware for your device and flash it with the latest Odin. If, for example, you have an N960F, then search for that and then download the most recent specific country firmware that matches your original csc (XME). This will install the latest firmware and should also allow future updates. Suggest reading around a bit before you flash for the first time to be sure you're comfortable with the process. Better to be sure

Many thanks for this.Im in the UK and would like to have the UK firmware.Can I flash my phone with the UK firmware or I have to use Malaysian one.I bought this phone online brand new unlocked but it is Asian version with Exynos.There was a sticker on the box saying about using the phone for 5mins to remove regional lock.This was done by the seller as I can use any sim.I just can't get any updates at all even using smart switch.
Many thanks again

The 5 minute call for regional locks in a one time thing. You shouldn't have to worry about that ever again, regardless of what firmware you flash.
Now you can install the latest UK firmware, but not sure if OTA updates will work that way. If not, you can just repeat this process whenever new firmware is released.
Otherwise, flashing original firmware for your device (Malaysia) should fix OTAs if that's what you want
