Hey guys can someone help understand this error. I've taken a screen shot of it
It seems that this error is causing my Samsung members to be in French.
Another issue is software version showing XEF/XEF/VAU. Which is linked to the whole French language thing.
I've tried flashing using the original Vodafone firmware but doesn't seem to overwrite the current XEF revision
a bit more detail would help; you have what model with what firmware and trying to install what firmware?
Hi sorry for the lack of info
So originally I had purchased a note 10 plus sm-n975f model from Vodafone Australia. During the course of flashing using Odin it seems I may have flashed a BTU firmware which has made the default language French. I have since tried to flash original Vodafone Au firmware using home CSC and CSC however this error pops up. It seems it won't over write the CSC

If worst comes to worst...or just for ease, look into the app SamKey. Will allow you to change your csc without root.

Hello,
i bought a Note 10 plus 5G in Germany from mobil24 on Ebay. It works fine with my Telekom Sim.
But ther is a App called Start from Vodafone that i cannot uninstall.

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

Hello,
I am new to the unlocking stuff.
I just bought a used ATT Note10+ 5G in Malaysia, model SM-N976U
However the security patch was stuck in May 2020. It could not be updated over the internet or Smart Switch PC.
It says it is the latest s/w (the latest should be July 2020)
I checked Sammobile and discovered 2 firmware updates : USA(TMK) and USA (T-mobile)(TMB)
(tried to include sammobile link here but was disallowed due to new user status)
Which firmware is suitable for my phone?
Is there a way to unlock ATT and receive the normal monthly security update over the internet automatically?
(i saw Odin in youtube and have basic idea how to flash it)
Appreciate any advice. Thank you

A thread already exists with the answers to your questions.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/how-to/att-note-10-5g-n976u-firmware-files-t4059721
No unbranded firmware version exists as of yet.. so you will have to flash a carrier specific firmware.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81981925&postcount=3
Thank for for the link provided.
Based on the link information, i can download the 4 base files from sammobile (either TMK or TMB) and add USERDATA ATT N976USQS3BTF4 to flash it.
Is that correct?
I could find USERDATA ATT N976USQS3BTF4 in easy-firmware website with a purchase fee.
(editied: My phone Active CSC Code is XAA, CSC Country is USA)

Hi SCitta,
Fellow Malaysian having the same problem as you. But my problem now is that I have Odin and the latest firmware (XAA) but Odin is showing failed to establish connection. How did you do it with yours?
Am using the AT&T version of the Note 10+.

Never experienced the failed connection before.
Have you installed the SAMSUNG-drivers ? The Samsung Smart Switch PC installation might help to fix the drivers.

Just want to share my experience in this. Bought an ATT N976U from the US and using in Malaysia. Phone came with XAA/XAA/ATT and never received OTA updates.
Downloaded Google phone app and changed CSC to TMB/TMB/ATT using *#*#27262826#*#*
Voila. Received the OTA updates one by one since May2020. Am now on N976USQU5EUC2.
Volte is also working on Celcom.
Did not have to flash firmware. Data not wiped. Everything seemed to be working normal apart from "Tips and Help" in settings crashes every time I click it. Also phone boots with T-Mobile logo now.
Hello -
Guys for last few days i have been trying to install Android 11 OneUI 3.0 update to my S20+ 5G phone. Since i did not receive the update, i was trying to flash it. But i couldnt flash that, in fact, I softbricked my phone in trying so. I will try to explain details here, please guide me to identify the correct firmware to flash.
This phone is unbranded and USA variant, which I bought from someone. I don't have the box but it is unlocked and unbranded phone, any SIM works on it. I tried looking for the CSC and AP version, which I found
AP VERSION G986USQU1ATAW
CSC VERSION G986UOYN1ATAW
I could only find one firmware matching this, which was still Android 10. And it had CSC code = TMB on SamFW website. I was confused what my actual CSC is, i tried looking for with the "Phone Info" app and it mentioned the "Active CSC Code: XAA".
So I tried following firmwares from Samfw.com
Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G SM-G986U - TMB - G986USQS1CTL1
Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G SM-G986U - TMB - G986USQU1CTKH
Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G SM-G986U1 - XAA - G986U1UES1CTL5
Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G SM-G986U - SPR - G986USQS1CTL1
I couldnt flash with any of the above firmware. It mostly stucked while flashing "super.img", i was using Odin 3.14 patched.
After trying this flashing, my phone was softbricked and i was unable to flash any of the firmware but one thing worked (which i dont know why). I flashed AP, BL and CP with Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G SM-G986U - TMB - G986USQU1ATAW since it's AP version and CSC was matching exactly same to my previous AP & CSC versions. But this firmware's CSC file was not being flashed to my phone, it was always getting stuck on flashing "prism.img", so i flashed CSC file with Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G SM-G986U1 - XAA - G986U1UES1BTK1 and the phone thankfully restored back to Android 10. But now my software update section says "Your current software version isn't supported. Visit a service center."
And now after flashing, my CSC version is G986U1OYM1BTK1 which was G986UOYN1ATAW earlier. I read somewhere that in the CSC version when you check from *#1234#, the three letters after your phone model is the CSC code. According to this, for my actual firmware it was OYN i think (G986UOYN1ATAW) and now after flashing it is OYM i think (G986U1OYM1BTK1). I don't see any firmware website mentioning any firmware with this CSC code. I am very confused now, do i not have any updated firmware for my phone or i have been trying wrong firmwares.
I am attaching current screenshots below about current state, Please help me understanding how to get the right firmware version to flash. If anyone has same version and has flashed, please enlighten.

To check the original CSC go to Settings, About Phone, Software Information, Service Provider SW ver. On the bottom string the last three letters will be your device’s original CSC Code. Doing a Factory Reset will restore it to the original firmware but be sure to backup your data.
You have a Multi-CSC device. Your best option to receive timely updates is setting the CSC to match your Service Provider. Go to "Settings" then "About phone". Write down your IMEI Number. Open dialer and enter *#272*IMEInumber# (In the thread replace IMEInumber with your actual IMEI Number). Press dial, you should see a screen with the list of available CSC codes for your device. Select the CSC for your Service Provider and tap the Install option.
Samsung's Smart Switch platform often times will offer updates before they're available via OTA. Be aware Android 11 One UI 3.0 isn't completely stable, many users are having issues after updating.
So my service Provider SW ver is "XAA/XAA/SPR", which means my CSC code should be SPR. My question is then why this Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G SM-G986U - SPR - G986USQS1CTL1 did not work? :/ It should have.
Also, why do i see the same AP version and CSC version with this firmware Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G SM-G986U - TMB - G986USQU1ATAW, whose CSC code looks to be TMB. Its very much confusing.
AP VERSION G986USQU1ATAW
CSC VERSION G986UOYN1ATAW
Plus, this doesn't work in my country i believe. #272*IMEInumber#
So the phone isn't an unbranded device, it's branded by Sprint which is now T-mobile. OTA Updates aren't going to be available unless you're on Sprint/T-Mobile's Network using a Sprint/T-Mobile SIM Card. I'm not sure where you'll find the correct FW for your phone, that's why performing a Factory Reset is going to be the best option to receive OTA's.
Change the csc to xaa and reset the phone and install the software in connection with the patched Odin

Since it's a Sprint Branded device there is no FW change will allow you to receive OTA's. The only option is Smart Switch after you do a Factory Reset back to the original Sprint FW. Curious why you aquired a US S20 for use in Pakistan? The Global Exynos variant would have been appropriate if call features and updates are a priority.

The Original CSC can't be modified, it will remain SPR. This FW is for a US Unbranded device, it won't receive OTA's for a Sprint Branded phone. Since the user is in Pakistan and not on Sprint's Network or using a Sprint SIM the only option is downloading updates via Smart Switch after the original FW is restored by Factory Resetting the device.
Well i acquired it because it had snapdragon and 12GB RAM unlike the global exynos version and its not branded, there's no logo and its totally unlocked. So i didnt have any idea it will have Sprint FW.
SmartSwitch doesnt show any update. And now even my phone says "Your current software version isn't supported. Visit a service center."

I already have tried flashing with this firmware it dint work. But i didn't change CSC before trying, is it changeable?
Since the original CSC is SPR it is a Sprint Branded device even though it may be unlocked. Updates are pushed by Samsung for specific devices based on the device's Original CSC, not the Active CSC. The only way you'll receive updates is via Smart Switch with the phone connected to a PC, Laptop or Tablet after you've installed the Sprint FW.
Not sure how valuable the update will be to you since it's structured for Sprint but either way you might consider holding off on Android 11 OneUl 3.0, it's not yet a stable version. Many of the recent posts here are S20 users who've developed issues after installing the 3.0 update.

I suggested such a way because the user says xaa for csc. I agree with what you said except that if the SPR software burns, will the SPR not ask for the sim card at startup?

Can't say but typically a SIM isn't required to setup a Galaxy device. The real problem is the user wants updates for a device which is operating outside of it's native region. Many users who opted for the Snapdragon SoC to avoid a Exynos variant are having the same issues. The Sprint CSC is in conflict with his region.
The Active CSC can be changed to function in Pakistan but it can't be updated. I've explained the only method to update the device in his/her region but to what benefit? If a user has a priority for updates and call features the best bet is always acquiring their Service Provider's device. Samsung is the real culprit here by using competing chipsets on the same model numbered devices.

Hey, I have a similar issue and I live in the same country, I got a unlocked Samsung s20+ 5g snapdragon variant and I have already done factory reset but it doesn't show any updates in the settings it just says "Your current software version isn't supported." and it says software is latest version in smart switch.
My CSC is a bit different than yours: XAA/XAA/WWD
I have attached the smart switch pic, can anyone help me update the phone to the latest version?
Also a question to kas07, was your phone official pta approved or cpid?
Hello
I've bought Note 10+ 5g, From about phone>software info It was with code (SM-N975F) and 2-SIM work well and fully support Arabic language.
When I entered DOWNLOAD mode, I found the product name is SM-N976N and Carrier id id KOO.
I've flashed the latest version of SM-N975F and the device worked without Arabic, and the 2-SIMs BOTH don't work, at all.
Now, I'm downloading SM-N976Q, which is directed to Suadia Arabia, which support Arabic, BUT I'm NOT SURE if it might support 2-SIMs to work.
I'm in this problem since 3 days. What is ur opinion?
Thanks in advance
I also have same problem , I have bought SM-N976N but I think the company had flashed SM-N975F firmware in it before and it was running android 11os I think it's refurbished course I don't receive update nor security updates, so I tried updating it firmware manually using odin from android 11 to android 12 model number SM-N975 firmware , but doesn't work it refused to flash with error saying repetition fail .
I have now flashed it with KOO version of SM-N976N android 12 but my problem is that the phone is not recognizing sims or carrier in it (not even 3G or 4G) I'm from Nigeria.
So my question is , how can I flash back N975f cz my region will be covered in it. Because samsung has not launched a PAK version of firmware of SM-N976N.
Please help how will I be able to get my sims working in Nigeria with or without root? Please help anyone.
