I'm wanting to change my carrier branded S23. If I go to sammobile the only generic versions I get are csc BTB or BTE. Can anyone tell me what the differences are and which one would be the generic UK branded one. Thanks for your help.
I've been trying to find this out too. Have you managed to find anything? Thank you.

Generic UK (Europe) is EUX.
Beware, you may not receive OTA when changing from a european carrier CSC to EUX.
Look at other threads (such as S23 call recording possibility) for more info.

Hello
Currently I have US unlocked note 8 and using Telus which is one of Canadian carriers.
Unfortunately Volte is not available for US unlocked note 8 probably due to different CSC country code.
If I flash firmware for Canadian will I fully be able to use carrier specific features?
Is there any guide for this ?
Thanks for reading.

Hey! I have kind of a similar issue. i bought my s8 from Canada (service provider : bell). When i moved back to India, i needed region specific apps like SPay to work. Then i could manage to change CSC code from BMC (Bell) to XAC (Canada unlocked). However, i need to change it to INS. I downloaded Indian s8 firmware. But i am not sure if i can flash HOME_CSC using Odin as my S8 is a snapdragon variant(obviously) and I'm really worried if it would brick my device. Or if i would not receive OTA's (Because ONE UI is all I'm looking for) . Please guide me here.

NO NO NO! You can NOT cross flash firmware between Snapdragon and Exynos models.

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 all!
I've been doing some good reading but am having some issues... I some how managed to buy a UAE dual sim "internationally unlocked" Note 9 SM-N960F (exynos variant) from the US Amazon. I put the internationally unlocked in quotes as it doesn't appear to be international. My samsung default app are all tied to UAE because of the firmware CSC. I was wondering if there was a guide that would be able to direct me to flashing from UAE to USA unlocked. I looked into SamFirm then also downloaded Odin but I can't seem to get SamFirm to locate and download the USA firmware I need with what I thought was the correct CSC for USA Unlocked.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated thank you!

If it's a dual SIM Exynos, then it IS an international model. You can't just flash the US firmware on it. The US firmware is all for the N960U, and you have a N960F. Won't work.
If you're willing to root and trip Knox, there's some guides on how to make the N960F work in the US, depending on your carrier.

I will move soon to New Zealand but I want to use my note 9 bought in Chile. The question is this:
If I flash the NZ firmware on my note could I be able to use a NZ sim and use it?
Thanks in advance! And a happy new year :laugh:

they are already unlocked, you just need to check if they use the same bands in NZ.
I used my N9 in England without a problem with the stock firmware.

What model is your device sm-n960F or SM-N9600 i am in NZ and have SM-N9600 which is the Asia and south american variant
there is no NZ Firmware for it and you wont be able to receive VOLTE (Some helpful error about not being supported on this software version) but you can get Wifi Calling from 2degrees

Mine is n9600 too, so could I use my phone over there? That could be excellent if it's true! :highfive:
Thanks you so much! :laugh:
It works on the relevant bands including rural 700mhz 4g so long its not carrier locked it works 98% (no VOLTE)
Greetings folks, i have been reading a bit about changing the csc of the phone, I own a s21 Ultra G998B version and its branded with a owo rom, i live in Chile, and the Claro company of course is not up to date with the otas, and also i want to flash a clean rom with no bloatware. I read that with samkey i can change the CSC to an OXO (mine is owo) rom so i can then flash the muti csc rom. I also read that in order for samkey to work i have to roll back to may update? i'm currently on august update. am I correct in the process? can anyone recommend to which csc i can change so i won't turn my phone into a mess
thanks to all who can provide some light jeje

hi, yes it is, but i looked in samfirmware and the cho version is until august, so i think it would be the same? mine is chl which is for CLARO company and is also in august update, i would like september updates so i can try the andy 12 beta
When I bought it, it had May firmware. I changed CSC before any other update .
So , may update is working for SamKey.
Otherwise, you need to flash with latest Odin the may firmware of your CSC you want (downgraded)

No to both. Thailand FW is configured for the Exynos SoC. The China FW, even though it's configured for the Snapdragon SoC it's not compatible with the US Unlocked variant. Do you live in Thailand? If so I'm curious why you aquired a US device. We often see users buying non native devices, maybe they got a good price, maybe they moved out of their region, maybe it's a company issued phone but it's a pain when call features or 5G don't align with your service provider. Flashing non stock firmware often causes more problems than it solves. Samsung is moving closer and closer to proprietary software for individual models, mix and match is becoming a thing of the past.

I live in Kaliningrad, Russia. This device I've bought for 30usd, new, boxed,, here, in Russia, so I was looking for ways to make it work as a Russian device(full menu translation, bands, etc.). Actually no matter, which language is used, at first I had troubles using android 11-there was no esim. Than using abd I flashed it to oneui 4.0, esim works, all lte bands are supported.

$30 USD is an awesome deal! If all bands and esim are functional that's probably as good as it gets. Unfortunately Exynos compatible FW which is dominant in Russia can't be installed on your device. Gboard may be your best option for Russian Language.
