What is CSC file doing?

To those who are flashing firmware,
May I know what does the CSC file do? I notice I can flash the firmware CODE and MODEM file with different CSC, looks like my phone is still working.
And different CSC are different in size.
Any idea?

CSC is the Country/Carrier Specific Code (not sure exactly which it is, both kinda make sense). It contains the files for customisation for specific networks, so will have the APN settings, maybe custom ringtones or backgrounds, and can have programs too. Some CSC files contain a lot more than others, hence the file size differences.
Mixing different PDA/PHONE/CSC files is certainly possible, although it might be best not to stray too far on the PDA and PHONE side. The CSC isn't really very important in most cases - at worst you'll probably just have to set up the APN manually.

Thanks for that definition. I am new to Android and very new to Rooting so have been trying to find out why I can't do a backup and the CSC file was a definition I was struggling to find using Google. Just need to find out what XUE is now as Google just tells me it it a Chinese name!.
Thanks again,

XEU is just the csc code for Europe.
Different regions have different codes.

will flashing a european pda and modem with asian csc do harm to the phone?

Nope no harm...

Thanks for the reply. Does that hold true even if the csc is taken from a froyo firmware? Just wanna be sure prior to flashing so i'm asking.

Just to be sure. Csc from asia froyo and pda from gb euro

Will I lose my warranty if I flash with another CSC? I would like to flash to something better, I've found my stock PDA and PHONE files to download but CSC is unavailable ( CSC:I9000GCROJV7). Or Can I somehow extract CSC from my phone to computer?

Of course flashing the phone with Odin makes you lose the warranty on the phone, but sometimes Service Centre don't mind on that if there is a hardware issue. I advise you to read carefully guides before starting any operation

Can anyone explain what a Multi-CSC is (in terms of files) ? Can there be many types of Multi-CSCs also I mean, one Multi-CSCs that covers a certain geography/market & another CSC that covers another geography/market ?

I know I'm 2 months behind on my reply, but your question has been *partially* answered.
CSC stands for "Consumer Software Customization" and can cause loss of service if it is set wrong. In the US, there are both GSM and CDMA networks and are carrier specific. The radio channels are also carrier specific, so there might even be a differemt CSC between commercial and corporate users. Flashing a CSC for AT&T on a Verizon branded phone will (more than likely) break the functionality of LTE capability,calling, text messages, and data usage.
I flashed an outdated ROM on my Note 3 last year and I couldn't access my carrier network until I flashed back to JasmineROM.
Long story short, unless you are changing carrier networks and have a carrier branded phone, it's probably wise not to mess with it. Unlocked SIM card users (NOT unlocked bootloader or rooted; completely different) may get away with flashing the international firmware, but I don't know for sure.

AT&T Wifi Calling Port?

Hi everyone,
I heard that the AT&T Note5 got an update today to include WiFi calling and the works. I am on AT&T with an n920i model and was wondering if it's possible to rip the WiFi calling from the new AT&T rom and get it working on other variants. I only ask this because I've seen T-Mobile based roms that work on other variants but include T-Mobile's WiFi calling in them.
Just wondering if someone might know or be willing to take a crack at it

I am almost positive it would have to be a ATT based rom running on our device for it to work

I'm sorry to drag this back up but I found CSC files based for AT&T and used them to replace the CSC files on my N920I. I feel like it's a step in the right direction. Anybody have any ideas?

I've been playing around trying to change csc on my 920i as well.
1. What rom are you on. I'm using Dr. Ketan's nougat rom version n8.
2. Where did you get your At&t CSC files.
I got them off this thread :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-v1-0-t3450911
3. Can you post the CSC AT&T FILES that you are using.
The one's I got work but is buggy! Not sure if it's something I did or that the files are from the At&t note7.
TIA

I performed all my csc file changes on stock Marshmallow firmware, originally XSA I believe. I used files from this dev's tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-30-t3392949
The actual tool will not work on the Note5. It performs a device check and fails to proceed after identifying the model we're using. I ripped the actual CSC files out (Marshmallow ones, not Nougat) and manually replaced them using the TWRP file manager on my device.
My device booted up, and identifies as an N920I with an AT&T CSC. I even have the option to enable Enhanced LTE services, but selecting the option doesn't actually activate it. (I also have an S8+ that is the AT&T variant so I do have WiFi calling and HD Voice activated on my account) I think it's because of the actual ROM, but I'm not sure. I'll have more time to test things out now that I'm done with exams.

Thanks for reply.
Did same - ripped - files from devs files.
Though the files I got are from a nougat Rom and I'm using on nougat Rom.
Experience is mostly same as you somethings work some don't.
If you have the At&t S8+ can you roo the csc files from there?

I'm afraid I can't do any modifications to my S8+ because of a legal obligation to Samsung's Insights program, but I can trying finding the firmware itself online and attempt to rip CSC files from that.
On the other hand, it may not be worth the hassle. Reading up on the S8 forums, it seems how the handle CSC for the S8 devices is different, adding a new partition called userdata which holds the files for the carriers (not sure if I understood that right though). If I had more technical know-how, I would try to port a full AT&T rom that can be flashed through TWRP and try that on my device, but I have no real idea how to approach that.

I hear you ...
Still It was an idea......

Just FYI carrier wifi calling has never ever been successfully (or even remotely working that I've ever seen or recall) ported to another device (same device or not) or firmware. It's been attempted since day one of tmo releasing their wifi calling. So can tell you CSC edits are a waste of time along with ripping all the WiFi calling bits from att firmware and throwing it in yours. Pretty sure even the CM guys tried porting it to tmo devices running cm and got no where with it way back in the day.
Trying to flash an att firmware (minus the Crap that'll fail, bootloader,etc) *might* work as long as you have an att sim but it might even rely on modem.bins too which would most likely fail to flash since you couldn't do it in the past via odin either. Not sure on that one because I use to always have tmo devices and service so never had to bother with that.

I think I've seen some users on the s7 forums saying they actually got it working. Maybe it was T-Mobile though...
Regardless, you've given me an idea regarding the CSC. The files I used were from the s7, but they were the qualcomm variant. The Note5 is all exynos variants, so using qualcomm files may cause incompatibility.
But if I pull CSC files from the AT&T Note5 rom, then it might work.
Everything is a long shot. The Note5 isn't my primary device anymore which is why I feel alright taking risks and flashing different things. It's like how that saying goes, you'll miss all the shots you never take.

upgrade firmware

I have Note 9 in UK on 3 network
I note from SAMMOBILE a newer version of the firmware I have installed is available
My device is not picking it up when checking for software update
Can I manually install the newer firmware ? if so, how and will I lose any device data /settings as a result ?
Thank you
Cheers
Mark

I would advise that you wait for the OTA update to be release for your device and install that. As installing the unlock stock Samsung OS could have adverse effects on your Branded device.

I purchased the NOTE 9 carrier unlocked. I have put a 3 (UK) SIM. in it.....(I have a SIM ONLY deal from 3).......it it safe to proceed with firmware update and if so how ?

Yes, it is safe. Just go into the Settings Menu and you should find a option there to update the OS of your device.

Does not find any update using settings / software update.....I see a newer version on the sammobile web site.......how, if it is safe to do so, do i install the newer version from the sammobile web site ?

Download firmware to PC
Use Winrar for example to unzip the firmware to its component files.
Download latest version of Odin (13.3.1
I think)
Put your phone in download mode connect to pc with usb cable (make sure you have Samsung USB drivers on your PC first)
Run Odin
Load files you unzipped BL, AP etc into Odin
When you get to CSC choose home CSC to retain your apps and data
Press start on Odin and wait five to ten minutes approximately.
Note 9 should reboot to new version when installation is completed (Odin will show passed)

thats software. Samsung apparently got fed up with the complaints stemming from having devices going out into the general public that are completely incompatible with service providers other than the ones they were originally intended for. Back in the S3 days the sprint one had the sim card embedded in the device behind the plastic cover of the internals. I have one of those S3's along with a VZW one that i un-hardbricked back in the days when a jig bringing the phone back to life after a "hardbrick" was mind blowing. Many hardbricks were caused by people trying to to make it able to be on other carriers since this time was also when the advent of MVNOs occurred. The history of the iterations of samsungs phones really spell it out. Many of us were surprised that it took them so long to do this. The S8 was the first Galaxy phone to have identical internals for all US models, the notes followed suit shortly thereafter

F916U AT&T Odin Firmware Links

For those who don't know, F916U is the model number of all of the US carrier versions of the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G. The F916U1 is the model number of the same device, but sold by Samsung SIM unlocked and with no carrier bloatware. Firmware is 100% interchangeable among these models: any U or U1 firmware version can be flashed to any U or U1 device at any time, assuming that you're not trying to downgrade the bootloader. Also, U firmware is identical for the 4 base files (AP, BL, CP, CSC) for each individual build, no matter which carrier it comes from. So if you download 2 different carrier versions of the exact same build, the 4 base files will be identical. Where the firmware differs is in the USERDATA file - that's where the carrier bloatware and customizations reside.
These files that I'm posting are used for converting from one carrier's U firmware to AT&T's, or from U1 firmware back to U firmware with AT&T features and bloat. These are much tougher to find than other carriers' files due to AT&T's policy against public hosting of their firmware files - they can't be obtained from SamFirm or Frija or SamMobile. But I pay for a subscription to a site that gets AT&T files, and also sometimes gets other carriers' firmware files before they hit SamFirm/Frija, so that's where my files come from.
So I'll be uploading at least one USERDATA for each bootloader version, and I'll do the full firmware (for at least one build per bootloader level) if AT&T was the only carrier to get that specific build.
Since firmware is universal on U models, for a full flash you can use the other 4 Odin files (BL, AP, CP, CSC) from any other firmware of the same build - and you can almost always obtain what you need via SamFirm/Frija or AFH or SamMobile (if you have a premium subscription). You can probably even mix and match builds (as long as the Android version is the same), if you can't find files for the exact same build. You can't mix and match bootloaders though, so the other 4 files have to at least be from the same bootloader level.
Happy flashing!

NOTES:
- Please don't quote the OP when replying, kthx
- I compress extra small for space and bandwidth savings. The default Windows extractor can't handle it, so you'll need a 3rd party tool like 7zip, WinRAR, etc
- I won't be providing detailed instructions on how to flash files in Odin. If you're not aware of how to do that, there are countless "beginner's guide to Odin flashing"-type threads here on XDA already
- My naming method for AFH folders is: build - bootloader - Android version.
So "SAT - 1 - 9.0" means the full build number ends in SAT, it's bootloader version 1, and it's Android 9.0. When bootloader and Android versions increment, the first build to have those changes will have its folder notated appropriately.
- the correct procedure for switching from one carrier's firmware to another is:
1. Flash full U1 firmware package including non HOME CSC
2. Upon boot, insert a SIM of the carrier whose firmware you want
3. Watch for the popup that says "reboot to apply new carrier settings" etc, and do it
4. After that restart completes, reboot back to Download mode and flash the full U firmware package, with the USERDATA file of the carrier whose firmware you want
- USERDATAs for any other CSCs/regions can be gotten from SamFirm or Frija - for the latest version. If you need an old USERDATA for a CSC/region that's not commonly found, let me know and I can probably get it
- For identifying USERDATAS, and to know what region/CSC to use in SamFirm/Frija:
AIO = Cricket (not available via SamFirm/Frija)
ATT = AT&T (not available via SamFirm/Frija)
BST = Boost Mobile
CCT = Xfinity Mobile (Comcast)
CHA = Spectrum Mobile (Charter)
SPR = Sprint
TMB = T-Mobile
TMK = Metro PCS
USC = US Cellular
VZW = Verizon (available via SamFirm/Frija, but Manual Entry is required - Auto will not work)
XAA = U1 firmware

FYI, this file will appear corrupted if you try to use the built in Windows zip extraction. I was only able to extract it with 7-zip.

You cannot flash between U and U1 without a wipe

I apologize. The Spanish came from the "Galaxy Z Fold 2 Odin Launch Firmware (SM-F916N, SM-F9160, SM-F916U, SM-F916U1)" files.

Actually, I had the same problem with this firmware. As the poster says, it booted to Spanish (which I was able to set back to English), and without any hint of it being an ATT phone (no logo, no carrier features). I spent an evening working on it, and finally just got frustrated and sent the phone back for a refund. I'm a reasonably educated user, and was successful doing the same thing to a Note 20 Ultra, but was unable to get it to work with the Fold.
I'd really like to see it working though. If I could get it to work, I'd go back to the phone.

Juggamonkey posted in the other thread with the f916 firmwares, that they flashed the u1 firmware to their AT&T f916 and it resulted with PCT/PCT/ATT which is likely Puerto Rico region.

Hmmm interesting. PCT is a Puerto Rico CSC/Region for Samsung, yes. But I've never seen it on any American models before. Puerto Rican carriers have always sold models from the Central/South American region, with model numbers ending in something other than U. But I suppose they may have changed things up this time

Sorry.

S20 FE 5G csc change

I am pretty new to Samsung's and their csc system.
I have an Australian SN-G781B with OPS csc (Australian carrier)
Just wondering if its possible to change csc to XSA (generic Australian region) to ensure I get more timely updates that won't require carrier testing bs.

flashing a CSC is super easy. put your phone in DL mode, fire up Odin, load the file and flash the HOME_CSC, not the CSC. HOME_CSC will allow you to flash firmware without factory resetting it. sammobile.com/firmwares to get the FW you need and be sure to use either SamFirm or.... god dangit... i cant ever remember the other programs name. Anyways, SamFirm allows you download the several GB file literally 5x faster and its a 100% trusted .exe. Anyways, get the U1 version of the firmware and flash it, boom... unlocked phone. Might need patched Odin to get around the phones security that usually blocks firmware flashes like these

The question would be if samkey software supports changing of S20 FE 5G's CSC to other regions (e.g. THL for call recording)

If someone finds a CSC setting, flash-able to the US unlocked S20 FE, which enables eSIM and call recording, yet doesn't impact the available 3G/4G/5G bands, please share the info. Thanks.

I just did a successful CSC change on my USA Unlocked S20 FE 5G without wiping the phone, maybe the info can help you. See my new thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s20-fe/help/successfully-forced-october-update-t4183325
However, you may need to do your own research on the proper CSC to use in your region. I simply wanted to swap my CSC to XAA so I could force an update is all.

Dont bother as I have xsa and have not received any updates yet.

I don't have the device (yet?), sill trying to decide if i want to pull the trigger on it, or get Pixel 5 instead.

Google it on the original S20 series, and you'll see the same story. For example, here - US Unlocked Version ESIM Update? - Samsung Community - 1147639. Guess we can spell the "for now" in the quote above as "for good".
