Hi folks,
Back after a while ... I was in the Middle east and had purchased the Note 5 (SM-N920C) that had the United Arab Emirates (XSG) version of firmware. I had leave the Middle East recently and have moved to India. Back here in India, I find that:
a) I'm tied to a UAE version of Samsung Pay
b) I cannot access apps available only for India (YouTube Go for example)
In an effort to sort my problem I'm considering switching firmware. Do you think this is possible? A quick search reveals that I may not be in luck but I thought I might as well ask and have my fear confirmed
Thank you for any input
Sure you can as long you got the model correct
Hi,
Im from Mexico and I just bought an unlocked Note 8 from amazon(sprint version) because it was really cheap ($650 USD) , i flashed the unlocked rom and now i want to use Samsung Pay which has just been launched in my country but because my phone is from the US i not able to make it work with my cards (as expected). My question is: I have a US Note 8 (Snapdragon) my country is Exynos only so i cant flash the local rom but could i flash only the home CSC from the unlocked Mexican rom to enable samsung pay?
As several threads mentioned Samsung pay is running based on the CSC, I have similar request with you, just want to add different cards from two country
Hello did you got it to work?
I've got a Hong Kong N9500 and have been happily using Samsung Pay in the UK for the last 2 weeks no problems.
The only drawback is that you won't get the local offers and vouchers etc but the card payments work perfectly fine
Hello,
I have bought branded s10 - Vodafone UK. I will change CSC code to remove Vodafone branding from device and I am going to use Samkey. I live in Great Britain so default csc code for my region is XEU. I am familiar with Samsung and years ago I made a research and case looks a little bit complicated. New phones sold directly from Samsung come with BTU csc code, but phones from resellers come with XEU csc. Additionally I experienced on s9 that in Odin flashing BTU resulted XEU. Very strange. There are a lot of threads with question about difference between XEU and BTU with always the same answer - it depends from where phone come. That's quite simple however still very strange.
Anybody has never explain what's the difference in software and services between XEU and BTU. What's the real difference between both of them?
Should I flash XEU or BTU? And why XEU or BTU?
If I know any other country doesn't have more than one csc for non branded Samsung's. Why Samsung released two different csc for UK?
It's really strange. Currently changing csc in samkey require credit so there is no sense check all csc just to see how them works. If you have knowledge what's going on please explain that.

if you flash a CSC in Odin and it changes from what you thought you were flashing to something else, then its a multi csc file and the SIM in your phone is telling the phone to go to that CSC.
That's right in almost all case. My region UK is the only one exception with two csc XEU and BTU. XEU comes from resellers, Samsung sales phones with BTU csc code localy. Nobody knows why we have got two different csc for our country and what's the difference between both.

usa also has multiple csc for unlocked devices.. the usa U1 (samsung direct models) have most to all the same csc that the carrier U models have.. for example theres xaa xas xac gcf then all the carriers also such as vzw spr att tmo you get the point.. usually the samsung direct has less bloat but also sometimes certain carrier features might not work such as wifibcalling for example.. usually ull be ok tho..
i suggest looking into chimera tool.. most devices r supported to change csc for free after ubpurchase a license which might b more beneficial in the long run instead of always purchasing samkey credits and you can try em all n see what works best for u.. id check if that features availabls for ur device first tho

My mistake. Two different csc for unbranded devices. BTU - directly from Samsung. XEU - unbranded phones from resellers like Amazon. I don't understand why they are different. I have flashed BTU and my phone switched to XEU. Yes BTU is multi OXM.

not sure what you mean by multi oxm since i thought oxm was a region code and not csc code necessarily..
@elliwigy,
1. Do you have a link to this Chimera tool?
2. I have a friend with a Galaxy Note 10+ and the CSC on this phone is set to TGY (Hong Kong).
If I understand correctly, call recording is blocked due to this CSC.
Can he use Chimera to change the CSC, and enable call recording?

Unless you have a large number of phones you need to change csc for its way less expensive to use Samkey. I found a seller onebay selling 1 and 2 credits which makes it even cheaper. eBay seller name is stai30 you can find his items at link below

Hey guys, hope everyone is well!
I've been doing alot of reading of various posts and sites and am getting myself quite confused! I was hoping some of you may be able to point me in the right direction!
I bought an unlocked new note 9 from ebay (I'm in the UK). I'm currently on three and dont think I ever really did a factory reset when I first got the phone.
The details are SM-N960U , Baseband N960USQS2CSGB , XAA/XAA/SPR
My three wifi calling is working which is good, however I am still stuck on August 2019 update. I thought I could perhaps flash this with a OXM firmware or even BTU to start getting updates again. It would be good to get security updates...!
Using Frija I can only seem to find USA firmwares though, and can't find any firmware online for UK sm-N960U (BTU/XEA/OXM). Just wanted advice on what you recommend? Should I just download the latest USA firmware from any of the carriers and flash that using ODIN? Frija doesnt seem to be able to even find any firmware with CSC XAA. I'm worried that if I install a new USA carrier firmware it'll lock the phone and I wouldnt want to lose the three voice calling either.
Any help/advice/pointers are much appreciated! Just couldn't find this particular situation on any of my searches!
The N960U is a North American only variant, with a Snapdragon SoC and non-unlockable bootloader, you won't be able to find any firmware for regions outside USA or Canada, neither will you be able to install custom ROMS.
I believe that the UK models are using the Samsung Exynos SoC.
But... You get the FM Radio on the chip, with the App NextRadio, and with a set of wired earbuds you can listen to OTA radio.
SPR was the carrier Sprint, now gobbled up by T-Mobile, (CSC; TMB)
My carrier Xfinity Mobile, CSC: CCT (Comcast) has WiFi Calling enabled, and has September update in Frija.
However, if you are getting WiFI calling on Three using the SPR firmware already on the phone, you might as well download the latest one, which is the Sept 20 update also.
FWIW, Flashing ROMS using Odin doesn't reset the SIM Lock.
I pre-ordered our phones (my wife received hers the day before the official launch, mine arrived the day after the closing date for claiming the pre-order bonus, luckily they honoured it due to overwhelming demand for the model that I ordered) and Xfinity unlocked them a month after we received mine.
I have flashed other official US ROMs before returning to the carrier's firmware and was still able to slip a Vodafone SIM in at Heathrow Airport and still enjoy glorious UK LTE during my vacation through England and Wales last April.
Hi, I'm going to buy this smartwatch but I'm confused about the different product codes I can find.
I know that samsung pay is enabled only in some markets and als EG and BP.
How can I understand the market from the product code like SM-R840NZKAEUB?
I'm looking for the silver 45mm version but has a different code in the store catalog I'm looking
Last 3 Chars...
EUB
This is CSC... Sales Code...
Maybe it makes sense if you tell your country/region...
I am from Germany... so CSC DBT...
Best Regards
Hi, I'm from Italy.
Here I found the list of CSC but I cannot find EUB
