Hello
I have the pro csc ( multi csc from vodafone). But apparently, the may update is not out yet, but for the other vodafone csc's it is. Is it possible to use a csc within vodafone like VD2 or VDF to update my device without losing de pro csc? If so, what files do I need? Only AP or...
Thnx in advance
Hey Samsung Experts ! :laugh:
I'm a newbie to this CSC stuff But I'm used to flashing via odin and firmwares switching.
My question is like this : I live in Morocco and I have a Samsung S9 Exynos Sm-G960f ( dual Sim ) with an active PRT csc ( poland and I guess it is branded ) when I first got the phone a month ago I got october security patch OTA and installed it. Now my phone says it is up to date ; yet , it is stuck at october security patch. Is it a CSC related problem or poland users hadn't received any OTA ever since october ?
I want to update my phone to Pie but I don't know which firmware to use.
I downloaded the newer ISREALI one with january security patch and ILO csc.
I'm intending to flash it. And if I flash csc instead of Home_csc will my phone work normally ? I mean no IMEI or network related problems ? and will My PRT CSC be replaced with ILO ?
I have read about combination files method but it is way complicated.
thank you.
Could somebody here possibly help me out with this ?
I will be thankful , buds.
I wanted to debrand my Vodafone branded Note 10+ 5G so flashed the latest Multi CSC firmware but when the phone booted back up everything was in french.
I checked the Software information and my CSC is listed as XEF/XEF/VOD when I expected this to be XEU/XEU/VOD
Never had this happen before and not sure how to get back to a UK CSC now?
Did you manage to flash your phone, because am going to do the same. updates from Vodafone are too slow
Hello community!
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S20+ (SM-G985F) which is carrier branded and sim locked. I am looking to remove the carrier branding by using a unbranded firmware. I am trying to find an unbranded firmware that will not affect the functionalities of the phone ( VoLTE, VoWiFi etc..) . Would this be done by finding a firmware with same PDA but different CSC?
Current Branded Firmware:
Version G985FXXU3ATG4 / G985FOWA3ATG4 / G985FXXU3ATG4
Product Code: PGU
Would this firmware work?
Product code LUX
PDA G985FXXU3ATG4
CSC G985FOXM3ATG9
Thanks in advance for your help!
@servenaya
if you have a sim card of Guatemala and you want to keep VoLTE, VoWiFi etc.. for this country
install Version PDA G985FXXU3ATG4-CSC G985FOXM3ATG9
and change your CSC to GTO ( with préconfiguration for TIGO_CGU , PCW_PA and Claro_DR )
LUX have only préconfiguration for Luxemburg ( Proximus , POST , Tango , Telenet , Orange B and LUX )
regards

@yakapa40, thank you! This information is very helpful. I do have a Claro Guatemalan sim and even though the carrier does not support VoLTE, or VoWifi, I would like to keep this features in case they implement them in the future. I did find a firmware with the recommended PDA and CSC (Country South East Europe, Product code: SEE, PDA: G985FXXU3ATG4, CSS: G985FOXM3ATG9). Would this firmware work? From what understand, I would have to first flash this firmware, then change de CSC with Samkey to GTO and lastly, factory restore the phone. Is this correct?
Also, would you recommend using Samkey to perform a carrier unlock before changing the CSC or could I do it later on? I read that Samkey only works for phones that dont ask for unlock code. Mine does ask for a code when I insert another carrier's sim.
Thanks in advance for your help!

@yakapa40 Thank you for your help. You are extremely knowledgeable on this topic! To be honest, I just realize how little I know about flashing even though I've been doing it since 2012. I feel like I understand firmware flashing less than I did before.
I just have a last question. If I flash the firmware with a CSC NEE, and than do the CSC change to GTO, which CSC will be used for future OTA updates? What I mean is, if there is a new NEE firmware will I get it, or will I have to wait for a new GTO update? Sorry, I am little confused with all of this.
G985F OXM is a multi CSC so if you flash the firmware with a CSC NEE , you will get XEF CSC by default
, and when you change to GTO you will get GTO OTA updates

@yakapa40, I was finally able to flash the phone. I followed the steps and got the GTO CSC and the unbranded firmware working! Thank you for helping me throughout the whole process. The only down side was that I still lost the VoLTE and VoWifi options. When I look at the Sim Card Status menu, the IMS registration Status is "not registered". :crying:
Hi,
I bought a new A72 in EU with A725FOXM4AUH2 CSC on it. The problem is that it should align with Italian (ITV) or French (XER) CSC when I first boot with the french or italian SIM inside but this does not happen. I try to flash with Odin stock firmwares to reset the first boot procedure but nothing.
I tried to change it to THL CSC in order to force some kind of change. It worked but stay obviously with the default CSC of the multi CSC OLM (that's correct).
Back with Odin to OXM, it comes back to SER (Russia) CSC. Why it is not taking the SIM operator to switch to the right CSC (ITV or XER) ?
It seems like it just take a default CSC of the Multi-CSC without aligning with the SIM.
I also tried Samkey but, it says it's ok but then the CSC stay the same.
Many thanks for your help, I am really sad...
Can you state what is listed for you under service provider software version
