hi. sorry for this noob question because i am kinda new to samsung. my question is would it be possible to change csc from tgy to xtc? my note 9 is a snapdragon variant from hongkong. and i am currently in the philippines. and if this is possible will there be any problems like ota update and future updates of the phone? thank you and hoping anyone can enlighten me with this matter.
Why would you want to do this? As you can still receive OTA updates for your device, no matter where you are in the world. I am currently using the Korean Note 8 N950N in Hong Kong and I am still receiving OTA updates from Korea.
hi @iceepyon. thank you for your reply. my problem is if i am using samsung members app the support team answering me is from samsung hong kong and not from samsung philippines which is where i am. if i need repairs and stuff i wont be able to go to hong kong as i am here in the philippines. samsung benefits is not working as well. and some of samsung app like the galaxy app is showing hong kong currency not in peso. now my question is if i change my csc to philippines will i be able to use features that is for the local unit on my hong kong unit?

You won't be able to get support from Samsung Philippines anyway as they will be able to find out that you have a Hong Kong device when they check the IMEI number of your device.
oh ok. well i guess i am stuck with it. thanks @iceepyon.

Isn't the new OS's changing CSC when putting a different region/country SIM on the next reboot, when you click YES on first boot(clean boot with the new SIM) to reset and change the CSC of the phone ?! It is one time only use after pressing NO or YES it will not show it again before wiping the phone again. My phone a DBT was set to XEO after a week on service center in Poland, even flashing it multiple times it wouldn't change from it, till I put my Germany SIM and press YES. Hope it helped a bit
It will change the last of them not all CSC
My was
DBT/DBT/XEO
and normal is
DBT/DBT/DBT
I got Canadian N960W Note 9 (Snapdragon) and first time I put Croatian SIM card CSC hasn't changed.
PDA: N960WVLU1ARJA
Active CSC: BMC (Bell Mobility Canada)
I'm still looking if there is a way to inject local CSC (SEE or DHR) into this firmware in order to get volte/vowifi. I don't really care about updates/OTA.

Hello,
Thanks to this XDA thread and some other sources I was able to compile a list of CSC codes that enable native call recording on Samsung ROMs. This is the list:
Indonesia (XID)
Vietnam (XXV)
Ukraine (SEK)
Israel (ILO)
India (INS)
Thailand (THL/CAM/MYM)
Egypt (EGY)
Bangladesh (BNG)
Laos (LAO)
Libya (LYS)
Nepal (NPL)
Sri Lanka (SLK)
Allergy (TMC/WTL)
Tunisia (TUN)

My question is if simply flashing a ROM with one of these CSCs will be enough to enable native call recording. If the ROM is OXM (Multi-CSC) and the CSC is changed due to insertion of a SIM Card will that disable native call recording?

nice work! it wouldnt surprise me if the sim placed into the phone would make the phone lock to that sims CSC and disable it. Are you able to give it a try and see?

u cant flash firmware of a single particular CSC when its part of multi csc firmware. ure sim will default to xyz specific csc.
there are ways to force or change csc. use search on xda.
You can add India (INS) to that list.
And you need the sim card of the particular country to get the CSC features. When the phone reboots after flashing the OXM firmware, the phone detects the sim card and it will ask for a reboot. Then you will have the CSC features of the country that sim card belong to. Later then the sim card can be switched back and the settings will remain even after reboot.
List of CSC codes that enable native Call recording with/and SPay on Samsung ROMs. This is the list:

India (INS) call + samsung pay
So does call recording work in Android 9 & 10 since it is disabled by default in Android 9 & 10 ????
On Samsung Note 9 (dual sim) N960F I tried the following roms:
Israel: Too old rom, haven't tried.
EGYPT: NOPE.
TUNIS: NOPE.
INDIA: NOPE.
SRI LANKA: NOPE.
If anyone has any tips on which region shall I try, hit me up...
Somebody knows any of Snapdragon CSCs (ACG, AIO, ATC, ATT,BST, CCT, CHA, GCF, LRA, SPR, TFN, TMB, TMK, USC, VMU, VZW, XAA, XAG, XAS) with call recording support?

So I got call recording on my Note 9, Android 10! YAYYYY!
Well today I paid for SamKey so I could share my experience.
- Original region: XEH (EU/Hungary)
- Base firmware was the latest (March)
- Phone: Note 9 SM-N960F Dual-Sim, 128GB version, factory unlocked.
The process...
PART I: Flashing the base ROM.
- Use "SamFirm" tool to download the latest firmware for a region you want.
- Use Sammobile.com to see which region you need, what is your phone model, etc.
- I recommend using an SSD for this cause it's way faster to work with that in ODIN.
- Use the regular "CSC" file, not the HOME_CSC one.. this will wipe the phone, but it only worked for me this way.
- Once you installed the rom, just enable dev settings, enable ADB, allow your PC.
Part 2: SamKey.
- Bought credits on Samkey (hella expensive.)
- Removed SIM card.
- Flashed latest INDIA [INS] rom (supposedly has call recording).
- set up phone as per instructions, enabled ADB, opened SamKey.
- Changed region to INDIA [INS].
- Reboot, insert SIM.
- Call recording shows up.
My life is complete.
Ps.: First I posted a message saying it did NOT work, but turns out I wrote "IND" instead of INS in CSC field. lol.
Pps.: Changing CSC only costs 1 credit. You can find 3 credits on eBay if you can't afford the bulk option from the main site.
There is also "chimera tool" that supports new(er) phones.. you MIGHT need that one.. uh for me this worked.
I AM NOT ASSOCIATED WITH EITHER, I FOUND THEM TODAY, I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY ARE AS LONG AS THEY WORK.
My KNOX did NOT trip during the process. It's still 0x0.

I dunno, I am still installing my phone but I can't tell any difference so far...
maybe you don't even have to wipe, you could try that too in the name of science.
Also make sure to use a CSC that has call recording. India has it, that's for sure. Israel for example SUPPOSEDLY has it. But if you check Israel for Note 9 on Sammobile, you can see their updates lag behind a lot. I feel bad for the people of Israel... weird thing they get lagged so much. So anyway, check if you are flashing a newer or same version at least. No biggie if you mess up, ODIN will get stuck, you gotta reboot phone into ODIN, start over with a proper firmware pack.
Good luck everyone.
Ps.: Keep this low(ish)...? I realize we are on XDA, and sharing is caring, but honestly I don't know if Samsung will take this method out if it gets "out". Maybe I am just paranoid. Please Sammy if you read this, DO NOT REMOVE this feature. Thank you.

Well im getting this
Samsung Galaxy Note9 SM-N960F INS India N960FXXS5DTB6 firmware
from sammobile ( excrutiatingly slow) i hope i wont get any problems, is this the same Firm you flashed?
And yes i can try to do a flash without wiping just for the science.
Also clarify something to me, you had to use the samkey and pay the credits in order to unlock your phone? or is it needed just to change the region to INS after flashing? i ask this becuse my phone is already unlocked.

- You really use Sammobile only to find out the CSC/Region code you want, and the phone model. Maybe you know both already. I didn't. So I went to Sammobile -> Firmware and checked. You don't need the site further.
- To get the firmware, use "SamFirm". It is a tool.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Make sure "Decrypt automatically" is ticked, and "Check CRC32" is NOT ticked. (this is the default).
For my SM-N960F (Exynos, Dual SIM), I just wrote:
Model: SM-N960F
Region: INS
[CHECK UPDATE]
then
[DOWNLOAD]
- Flashing is really harmless. Can't really trip KNOX, can't do any harm.
- Yes, you must pay for SamKey. The main site has an expensive pack (15 credits), I got that, but ebay has like "pack of 3" keys and whatnot. Try to buy such a pack from a seller with good reputation. I'd just give you credits if I could but I don't think that's possible. I can send you credits apparently on the site. It says I can send you one a day. So make an account on SamKey, and send me your name in private. I'll send you 2-3 credits if you want.

1) You messed up the model number.
SM-G9600 is the "global name".
Your phone is.... "SM-G960F" for example.
You can check here: https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s9-8966.php
2) You can use Sammobile and SamFirm, they are the same thing. Just SamFirm is SO MUCH FASTER...
3) Okay, just send me whenever, not in a hurry lol. I want to do the CSC change for my friend's Note 10+, but that still leaves me with a lot of spare credits, don't worry.

well that is the model i get either on the About phone and everywhere else SM-N9600 on gsm arena it says SM-N9600/DS and on the back of the phone itself i can barely see but im sure it says SM-N9600/SS. so what to do next? should i get the SM-N960F file instead?
EDIT: by the way i sent you that PM or at least i think i did, i cant confirm ( not showing on my sent items).

- I am no expert, I'd say install a tool like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
- You can also install the "SamKey" tool (without paying) and it has this function called "Read phone info". That might also tell you. Again, you just install it, run it, and it uses ADB to tell you every little detail.
- Maybe even the ODIN Download mode also tells you...
I THINK you have the SM-N960F - if your phone is a global, dual SIM Exynos variant. But only if you have that. SM-N960U is the Snapdragon variant (USA). "SM-N9600/DS (LATAM, Brazil, China)".
I donwloaded that app you told me.. this is the info...
Samsung
SM-N9600 /Galaxy NOte9
Device type: crownqltechn
country of origin Made in china
Date of fabrication: 2018-12-05
Knox warranty counter: 0x0
thenon the CSC code tab it says..
prodict ID: SM-N9600ZBMMXO
csc code of firmware: TPA
CSC Active code: MXO
CSC avaliable codes: CHO, COO, EON,MXO,PEO, TPA, ZTO; BVO, DOO, GTO, UPO, UYO
CSC country: MExico/MX
Mobile operator: 334020
not sure if the rest is relevant..
So it is a8gb/ 512gb ,Snapdragon variant for Mexico Made in china.
Hello everyone.
I know that the native call recorder app is activated by the device code CSC.
I have the N9600 (Hong Kong variant - TGY). And I want to try my luck for changing the CSC to another one. (Is that true info ?)
What I found that I have to change it to another one which also support the same firmware (or variant) so this variant has a limited options. (Latin America), Brazil, China.
So which the correct CSC I need ?
Doesn't any one know ???
You have root? You can change/add csc_features RecordingAllowed
No root . I was thinking to change it be a paid service. But the problem i juat want to know the good csc code that will enable recording.
Has anyone found a solution yet ...?
You need thai sim card to unlock recording
Egypt CSC has call recording by default, there are others, but Egypt is what I'm sure of, been using it.

does this work on custom aosp roms? like lineage or just for the stock?
Just wondering if anyone has recently changed their CSC to allow them quickest access to updates and the Beta program?
My CSC is for O2 UK and I'd rather it was generic.
Being from the UK mine is an Exynos model.

Thanks I may try it myself. How do you buy credits for Samkey? Do I really have to buy 45 dollars worth? That's the lowest I could see.
Does the XID CSC change affects the phone ? I mean the phone still remains a dual SIM phone?
Also, volte and WiFi calling are still there to XID CSC?
