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.
Hi everyone,
I've purchased a Korean Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N950N) and rooted it with TWRP and SuperSu. Now I want to change CSC to Vietnam.
I already download 2 stock firmwares (Korean and Vietnamese).
Can you please guide me for next steps with Odin?
just go grab the S8 CSC changer and use that. All we have to do is add 1 line in one of it's scripts so that it will run on a device with 'greatlte' in the name.

It seems that this CSC Selection file did not work for me even I already updated the script file META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script with this code:
getprop("ro.product.device") == "greatlte" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "greatlte" || getprop("ro.product.name") == "greatlte" ||
When I flashed zip file I got error no digest file found
I have this problem could not find any specific answer so far. I'm from UK with an international Note 8 (N950F) unlocked and want to use it with THREE, especially from the wi-fi calling. So, downloaded THREE firmware and after extraction, I got CSC and HOME_CSC among others. First, through ODIN installed HOME_CSC after reboot could not notice any difference at all, the mobile seems the same so decided to install the CSC which obviously wipe the Note. The same, nothing different on the phone. Lastly, I installed everything (AP, BL, CP, CSC) only that way I got Wi-FI calling but also many apps from THREE ( Deezer, Three, Three likes, Ebay, Amazon Underground, Prime video, Amazon MDIP, Operator Settings) and a horrible start-up boot logo and so on. Despite I got Wi-Fi calling I got more stuff and I am not happy at all. Thinking seriously to go back to the international version I had. Does anyone know why after changing the CSC was not any difference in my Note?
Find attached two pictures, first one shows the wi-fi calling option under Contacts-Settings using THREE firmware, and the other one is from the UK international firmware where wi-fi calling option is not there.
Khoanb1, Kett_Traveler modified the S8 CSC Changer zip to work for the Note 8 but only added the USA CSC to it because that's what he needed. I've since took his zip and added the Canadian Multi-CSC (XAC) for myself and the European Multi-CSC (DBT) for you. The European Multi-CSC (DBT) contains the Vietnam CSC (XXV). Download the zip from MEGA here and install it with TWRP. When it asks you which CSC to install, choose DBT, then choose XXV in the next screen to select your Vietnam CSC. Make sure to select XXV and not keep it at the default of DBT at the 2nd menu.
I've successfully used this zip to change my CSC to the Canadian one. Note that after the CSC change, your phone will factory reset itself and wipe all your data (if I remember correctly). So make sure to backup externally first if needed. After a restart, your phone will boot up with the proper boot animation for your CSC and you'll have all your carrier-specific features. For me, changing my CSC allowed me to connect to LTE networks which was not possible before (I was limited to 4G speeds instead). Also, the Korean apps that came with the phone are preloaded onto our system partition, so you have to delete them from /system/apps or through Titanium Backup. You can also freeze them if you prefer.
Note: I haven't tested the install with the XXV CSC so test it and tell me if it works.

Hi peacey8,
Thank you very much for your effort and your thorough guidance. Your zipped file worked very well for my device and now I could have XXV CSC code in my Galaxy Note 8.
I can see some big changes:
1. boot logo is the same with Note 8 devices distributed in Vietnam
2. some apps were installed by default like these devices
3. Samsung Pay can recognise Vietnamese network providers (but I could not still use it because my device was rooted). If you have any idea about it, please let me know.
Great! I'm glad it worked. Unfortunately, Samsung Pay will not work because Knox was tripped. Android Pay still works though if you use Magisk root with Magisk Hide.
Right now there is no solution to Samsung Pay with root. In the future there could be some solution. I'm sure some creative person will come up with something eventually.

Hi peacey8,
Thank you for your explaination. I have another question:
What will happen if I flash all tar files in the Vietnamese stock firmware to my Korean Note 8?
Will I get the CSC code like devices distributed in Vietnam? And will Odin allow me to do this?

Honestly I'm not sure if it's impossible. I'll let someone more knowledgeable than me answer that question. However the Korean Note 8 and the Vietnamese Note 8 are both running on the Exynos SoC, so it might be possible to switch firmwares with a lot of hard work and many problems. For one, the devices have different storage capacities and so will have different PIT files (the file that determines which tar image file goes where and how big it should be). Another issue is the bootloader (the most basic, low-level software of the phone that talks to the hardware to start your phone up) is different for the Korean and European models, so you can't flash the Vietnamese BL file on the Korean model. It would brick the phone if you did.
So in short, no you can't flash a different firmware. But, why do you need to? What's wrong with the current solution of switching CSCs that you just did? Is there still a feature you are missing?

i've used a similar file for the S8+ and my phone rebooted with a new CSC and the message "Android is updgrading"... but it did not wipe my phone.

It's only a question because I'm so confused if I can totally convert my Korean device to Vietnamese one.
You are right, so dangerous to replace bootloader even I already created backup for all partitions.

Hi Khoanb1,
Luckily i found your thread up here, i'm a clueless Vietnamese when it come to rooting phone and other related things. I also bought an KR Galaxy Note 8 lately and have been wondered since then. Is there any other feature that missing on an KR note 8 to a distributed VN note 8?
Would you be so kind to instruct me install them just like you did? im a total noob here.
If you dont mind i can ask for your social media account so we can discuss further.

Hi lluvias91,
I already sent you a private message including my fb account, let's start our converstion about this topic
do you know guys if a packed Note 8 Eng Boot for Exynos variant (SM-N950F) is available ?
tengo el inconveniente con el n950F Exynos sin interruptor de desbloqueo OEM Ayuda
I have the N950F Exynos phone and want to flash the US Mobile CSC to get Wi-Fi calling. I don't have root and am in jail with the no oem unlock issue. I was wondering if I could just flash the CSC from the complete N950U firmware using ODIN. Or can you not mix the F firmware files with the U versions?
I saw the zip file to do the same but it requires root and TWRP to flash.
Not sure I like this phone being locked down. Very frustrating not being able to just root and install a working ROM without having to wait 7 days!
Thanks
In download mode. My carrier id is blank. How do i add the id back?
Hi guys
I buy mine in Morocco N950F Dual Sim (Exact version : SM-N950FZDDMWD).
My phone are not rooted and i dont want to do it for the moment. dont want to increment the knox
I need the french CSC. If i downlaod a french stock firmware N950F and install it with Odin.
It will work without loosing my garante and continue to use samsung Pay ?
Sorry for my bad english
thanks in advance
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. The eSIM is one heck of a convenience feature when traveling, and i'd really want to know if i can get it working BEFORE actually paying for the device. Right now, sadly, i assume a "no" as an answer on that

Correct, I have the US unlocked version and trying to activate an eSIM from US Mobile for a trip to Asia soon. So far, no luck. For whatever reason, Samsung is disabling this feature in the US for now....

Hello any solution to change csc on s21 ultra? Samkey not work
it seems there is no way curently
I did this method and it worked https://androidmore.com/change-csc-samsung/
I have a s21 ultra exynos , and a unlock phone , global version
I installed the AUT update via odin and the csc was TPA , so i did the method on the link to change to AUT and it worked but it deleted everything
but what about Carrier blotware?

If your device is SD then you won't be able to get BTU.
If it is exynos then you can flash the BTU firmware.
Your 4g speeds may be slow if you do not have the correct csc files for your provider. Eg: having BTU for Rogers may not get your the speeds you are looking for.

You will not be able flash Canadian CSC on an exynos device.
First you have to root the device and Either you or some else will have to edit the canadian csc file to make it compatible wtih exynos.
Some one has done for me in the past with note 8 but that dev is no longer in XDA.
The other option is to root and then copy the required csc files.
With this there is a high chance that the imeir related files can get corrupted.

You can flash any other file with multicsc.
There is no reason for you not recieve sms with BTU csc. However, if it does happen fhe csc firmware that is the original one. i.e look at the third tri letter in the csc info.(this third letter never changes , more like hard coded)
I do get SMSs but, I was not able to get one from my bank. The 3rd 3 letters are still TPA. I do not know if it is normal, but the dual sim menu has much fewer options. I can choose from what sim to call only after I dial at least one digit. And When I try to activate Dual sim always on, the toggle still stays off.
For the Canadian CSC, I suspected that it will be impossible to flash. I used to be on TPA and now I am on BTU, I had problems slow upload speed on 4G. Now is a bit better, but the download is staying around 50-75. before I had 160-300 Mbps.
Where I can get Multicsc and do I have to root the phone?
Thank you.

Rooting won't help you much with signal or speed of data, unless you have to flash some modified csc files.
Your problem could also be the absence of the required bands,whuch may be lacking in exynos.
I have a SD version ( decided to go wtih non root this time as most of the things that need root can be done with adb anyways. Also there is root for SD too these days) so cannot help you much.

Chainging csc is easy by flashing the CSC file. Rooting won't affect it. Rooting has its downsides.
Your loss of dual sim fn could be related to csc but BTU should support full dual sim fn.
I want to change the firmware on my S10e to the UK version (as it currently seems to be an overseas variant).
I want to change as little else as possible, so I will flash with the HOME CSC file.
This is the first time I've used Odin, so I have what is probably a very basic question:
When I start Odin it comes up with a pop-up warning "Please be sure to delete your Google account(Samsung account) before downloading...".
Do I need literally need to delete the account, or will it simply ask for the account password at the appropriate time?
No worry about it but when you used csc it'll erase it and after bootup data required to setup your old account
Thanks. With your reassurance I just did it with no errors and everything came back as it was, all apps and data seem to be present and correct. The only strange thing I've noticed is although the build I downloaded said it was BTU, the software version shown under Software Information now has:
SAOMC_SM-G970F_OSM_DBT_12_0006
DBT/XEU,DBT/BOG
From what I could make out, XEU is a UK code and the version on the phone that I've just replaced was linked to a French operator in Morocco, which might explain the BOG; but I have no idea where the DBT is coming from.
ofcourse home csc will not gonna effect on your data
but regular csc will definitely wipe you
and DBT is German
