Need Specific Firmare CSC combination

Hi All
Im looking for a specific CSC file if any of you have it plz could you upload it for me so i could DL it from somewhere
The CSC file i need is for the XFV region
From what i could tell in version histories there are only a few of them out but i would like to see if there is a easier way to fix the you cannot update the firmware issue so we could probably document it properly.
The firmware dont really matter as i have most of them from samfirmware but i would like to replace the CSC to see if that would fix the problem.
This is for experimental purposes only and in no way will i or have a need to downgrade to a official firmware but seeing as i live in SA its hard to get the local CSC if everything is in the XEU region
Please check if you have one and let me know. I have a treory in terms of assisting ppl to get back on track with official firmware if they want to upgrade that way seeing as Bada 2.0 is close and a lot of ppl will want to go to the official release.

Have you tried the new Kies 2 hack found in the galaxy forum? it works well with bada due to there are all on the same server. I dont know yet how to find it, the forum is to huge.

No idea. I was looking around but the CSC file still reffers in registry to the Kies software. The problem with that is that your geographical location gets picked up by the Kies software and if that dont match your CSC you wont be able to trick it in updating your FW over Kies.
I want to test that and see if that makes a difference because your productcode can also still be changed in the registry but you need the correct CSC
If it works everyone that want to manually flash has a 5 step fix to revert to original. Im just testing a theory
Please see if you can find that and share it Thanks

That with geographical is not true, i am using german firmwares and i can update through kies in austria, already flashed korean versions and everything works.
Manually you cannot change the settings, maybe your firmware configuration is mismatched.

Last night i tested this and flashed back to XXJEG witch was one of the 1st firmwares out and knowing there is a update after that it still stated the same that the FW cant be updated. I have also tested multiple CSC FW combinations and cant get it to simulate my region to be able to update from Kies
Currently my Config looks like this
FW: S8500XXJL2
CSC: S8500OXDJL1
I installed JID and updated to JL2 witch atm is the most stable build i could find.

I can give you my xxji5 multi which contains every csc for open europe.
It is one combilation that i have made, in this time slyfer (my firmware downloader) have given me access to every samsung firmware.
It should solve your problems A bada 1.2 firmware with all csc i don't have, after the JL2 the downloader stopped to work, sorry.
You can choose what you want.

Hello toxicdust, you can use the Kies Registry Patcher as suggested by larioteo to install any firmware of your choice from kies.
It works and it's very simple to use. Like larioteo, I have also installed several firmwares from different regions from kies without problems.
I will give you a short tutorial on how to do this. You can also save the firmware that kies uses when upgrading your phone by extracting the files.
Now here is the tutorial. A screenshot is also attached.
HOW TO USE KIES PATCHER TO UPGRADE WAVE
1. Launch Samsung Kies.
2. Connect phone in kies mode (make sure phone is detected by kies).
3. With phone connected to kies, launch Kies Registry Patcher as Administrator
(Note: If you have previously connected more than one phone in kies,
you will be prompted that you need to cleanup regustry.
Accept/say yes, and then continue from nº 3 above, that is, start over again).
In kies Registry patcher,
- Click on the menu "Basic"
- In the option, "Enable Spoof" select "True"
- In the option, "Spoof Product Code as" Select "XFC" (e.g South Africa).
- In the option, "Spoof Software Revision as" enter any previous firmware version/csc for South Africa
example with Europe OXC previous firmware, "S8500XXJF7/S8500OXCJF3" (without the quotes).
- In the option, "Kies Version" enter the installed kies version. (By default, displays automatically).
4. After entering above information, now click on the button "Write Registry" to enter the data to registry.
5. Finally, go to kies and click on "Upgrade Firmware" and "Accept".
6. Kies will display that there is a new firmware version (e.g. S8500XXJL2/S8500OXCJL1).
7. Just click on accept and the upgrade process in kies will begin. That's all.
CAUTION:
Make sure you return kies patcher back to "False" after using, otherwise the app will be active at the background.
- In the option, "Enable Spoof" select "False"

Thanks a lot. Will try that tonight quick to see what the results are. Will let you know

OK then i wait, i am currently developing if you need the files i will post it for you or send you via skype.

Ok just checked now on this list for the release referances
http://www.scribd.com/doc/47859691/Samsung-Firmware-Langpacks-Descriptions-09-2010
The last official update combination was
PHONE: S8500JBJI2 CSC: S8500XFVJI2 - Bada 1.0
and
PHONE: S8500XXJF1 CSC: S8500XFVJF1 - Bada 1.0
Using both the combinations it says that there is no firmware update and this is the latest version.
Should i update to one of them to find out what the latest combination is because both cant be right right ?

Cross Version Updates can go in a bad way, you need first a full open firmware that is also available in your firmware revision.
Firmware Version Example: S8500XXJI5 (The base)
Config Version Example: S8500OXAJI5
The configs are not important if a other is available for your country, if not, then it it also important,
Litte differences can cause also a reboot loop.

Yes, wrong combination of firmware(PDA) and CSC can lead to an endless booting of phone.
Please use a correct combination of the firmware files for South Africa. If possible, install an earlier version of kies
[say, Kies_1.5.3.10103_102_1 (19 Nov 2010) or Kies_2.0.0.11011_16_5 (05 Jan 2011)].
This is because most recent versions of kies read firmware versions direct from the phone.
I have personally used the above versions with Kies Patcher and they worked successfully.
But when I tried with the latest kies version [Kies_2.0.1.11053_66_6 (15 June 2011)],
hoping to trick kies by entering an old firmware version (S8500XXJF4/S8500XENJF3) into Kies Patcher,
kies deteted that there is a firmware upgrade for my phone. When I clicked to upgrade, kies stopped half-way,
displaying that the latest firmware XXJL2 is already installed on my phone.
So to avoid this happening in your case, install an earlier kies version, and use kies patcher to upgrade your phone.
I include below some firmware combinations for South Africa. Try the combinations one by one (starting from the unbranded firmwares).
Hopefully one of them will work for you. Best of luck.

CSC (Country Sale Code) Samsung Note

Hi there,
I have a Samsung Note. To get Android updates it's important that your phone has the right Country Sale Code-setting.
I live in the Netherlands, and I need to have the CSC ''XEN''.
But when I open the CSC list in my phone (with the code: *#272*IMEI#) then I see this list:
Title: Preconfig
SALES CODE: KOR
XEU
XEO
XEF
KOR
ITV
DBT
CPW
There is no ''XEN'' in the list, so I can't choose the right setting and that leads that I don't get the update 2.3.6 and the updates in the future.
My question is: Is it possible to add the ''XEN''-csc to get the right updates? Or what I can do?
I don't get updates, even not with Samsung Kies. I have still Android 2.3.5 and I would like to get updates.
Thanks in advance!

It is part of the Vodafone firmware . You would have to flash unbranded firmware to remove the app . Is the phone network locked ?
If its doing no harm you can leave it there and just ignore it

The phone has no Simlock :
1 x Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Plus 5G SM-N976B 256GB Aura Glow without Simlock New OVP
Will i get all regular Updates from Samsung (like Android 10) or do i get the updates from Vodafone ?
I´m confused.
Thanks

In Germany there are a couple of branded Firmwares out which are provider based.
You own a vodafone Note10+ which means you get OTA (Over the Air) Updates from a Samsung based by the provider overworked Firmware (normaly monthly).
You have the possibillity to remove the app via ADB or you can unbrand it with a open UK Firmware Countrycode BTU (no provider stuff on it).
Your current countrycode should be VD2 (Vodafone Germany).
If you are able to read german there is one big forum in Germany for android devices, take a look at android-hilfe.
if there is no simlock on the device, its also not against a law to 'rebrand' it with an other firmware.
Before starting this take a closer look here or in other forums to inform you about flashing an Samsung Firmware with a tool called odin (for Windows).
you can download the newest firmwares on sites like sammobile.com.
But don't do it hastily until you've read your way into the matter!

This is my Firmware. Could I flash DBT or DTM without problems ?
The unbranded Firmware for Germany is DTM ?

1. Don,'t know if this will work without any problems, if you can read and understand German take a look on the Android Hilfe forum there is a thread discribing unbranding.
https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...anding-auch-beim-note-10-moeglich.929549.html
2. Open Germany is DBT (which stands for debitel, now mobilcom debitel).
DTM is Deutsche Telekom which is also branded
On the other side, all this to only get rid of one app...
Have you tried to deactivate the app under settings - apps - three-point-menu (upper right corner) - show system apps.
Then Navigate to the app and tap on deactivate in app settings
since a couple of years branding (in Germany) is shrinked to one or two provider apps.
Also OTA Updates are nearly as fast as for the Open Germany DBT.
My last action in rebranding was on an Galaxy S7 so I can not say if debranding the Note10+ from VD2 to DBT works with out problems and afterwards fully access to OTA Updates.

Hello,
thanks for all this information.
I did get a Update for the phone already. It was the Securitypatch 1. November 2019.
I have a Deutsche Telekom Sim in the phone. It works without problems .
So i will get Android 10 sometime OTA with my Telekom Sim too ?
It´s not possible to stop and deactivate this App.
Thanks again for your help.

Sure you will get Android 10 also with this card, as soon it was released here in Germany for VD2

Hello,
i looked at Androidhilfe.de and followed the instructions at the thread https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...anding-auch-beim-note-10-moeglich.929549.html.
I used SamFirm to find a BTU Firmware (2019-10-30). I flashed it with Odin (normal CSC )
and got a clean phone.
Now my note 10 + 5g is debranded. No more Vodafone App. I´m on XEF/XEF/VOD now.
Today there was again a newer Verson of BTU Firmware (2019-11-13)
I flashed that with Odin3 3.13.3 using homeCSC .
My phone got updatet with no dataloss.
So my problem is solved
Thanks again for helping.:good:

Had a similar problem with my DTM (Telekom) branded Note10+.
Just flash the newest DBT FW with the home csc and you'll get the unbranded version without vodafone apps.
Also you'll get updates much faster.

Is there a DBT Firmware for the Note 10+ 5G
I didn´t find one yet.

I had to search a bit, but couldn't find an unbranded version for the german market.
Also it could be difficult to get 5G with a different country firmware because it's new, regulations and stuff.
But you could flash at leats the DTM firmware, so you'll get telekom preinstalled apps

Install different country firmware and CSC - S20 Ultra - EExynos - SM-G988B/DS

Hi guys,
I have the Samsung S20 Ultra - EExynos - SM-G988B/DS (Turkey) ,,, If I install another country's firmware and CSC, is there any problem?
Until now, S20 Ultra android 12 is not rolled for Turkey, but for other countries.
If I install UK, Germany, Spain or any other country,
In the future, will I receive updates faster than Turkey?
Thank you.

I don't think so. Uk , Germany, Spain and other countries are OXM. Turkey isn't.
And no you have to download the firmware yourself and use Odin to flash it on your Phone.

Thank you for replying.
If I flashed Vietnam rom, Will I be able to receive updates in the future, or manually via Odin? The device is not rooted.

You are talking about S20 Ultra. I have a S20+ 5g.
Try to find a Multi-CSC for some of the countries and regions (“O” refers to Open).
I don't know for your model there is one: Turkye and Vietnam. So google for Multi-CSC for your model Phone and countries.

Question What Region Fold 3 do I have?

I bought the fold 3 off ebay(yes I know)it has the CSC number ending in CVEB
I can't find out anything about the CSC code. My model number is SM-F926B/DS
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Looking on sammobile it means H3G

So I think that's the 3 net work.
Would it be better for update to stay on the rom or flash a BTU rom?

There is no such CSC as BTU anymore, at least on a z fold 3, what's your service provider software ?

BTU has gone!
My phone has no provider.
But the ROM is B3G which is three.
So it must of been on three at some point.

It probably is running three branded software, but that will just be your original CSC code. If you wanted to change it you can, with free software from samfirm but the equivalent to btu now, is eux, Samsung have changed the way updates happen. UK the no longer has its own CSC unbranded code, we fall under eux, so Samsung can release faster updates all at once

By 3 branded I mean the ROM is customised for the 3 network, apps added etc. mines on o2, but that's an multi CSC ROM, oxm which means it has multiple CSC, including eux etc, but eux doesn't come with network customisations and is now the European unbranded
