Can I change CSC? - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Hi, I have an unlocked A320FL with TPH (Portugal) csc on 6.0.1, I see on SamMobile that TCL csc (Portugal Vodafone) is on 7.0
Can I safely change CSC without tripping Knox?

Can anyone guide me on updating my A320FL to Nougat without voiding the warranty?

Yes you can!
Follow these instructions...
I did it without tripping Knox.

How do I know if the firmware I'm about to install is multi-CSC?

Did you do it on an A320FL? Did you tick Re-partition when installing a different CSC?

It seems that every CSC is multi-csc.

Hello guys! I don't want to start another thread for the same problem.
I am on 7.0 right now, with multi CSC (not for my country, of course)
I want to flash now ORO CSC (for carrier settings and options like VoLTE and such. (https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a5/SM-A520F/ORO/)
I can do this without rooting? If anyone can explain me step by step on how to do this it would be awesome!
Thanks in advance!

CSC "Problem" after Nougat update (A5 2017)

hi guys, i first installed the russian Nougat update because in germany (DBT) it wasnt out like 2 weeks ago.
So now it's out and i flashed the original german one over it with wiping everything. So far so good. The problem that i have now is that my orginal CSC "DBT" isn't activated.... it automatically installed the "BTU" CSC (UK)
My question now: How can i change back to DBT? I flashed the german CSC again but i doesn't seem to work that way :/ I added some screenshots from Samsung Phone Info App. The Original CSC-Code line is also blank whyever....
thx in advance!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43553707&postcount=14 if it doesn't work i have another method
the same thing with my phone (i have flashed an XEF )
but this csc is not important at all .....
-You have german language
-the playstore have the same apps
- you have the same samsung fonctions apps and parameters .
-the modem have the same European bands
.....
Yeah i flashed the Portuguese rom and somehow got the sloveanian csc. I tried using the method above for changing but it didnt work. It doesnt matter, its the same stuff anyway.
The other method is to flash a single CSC rom and after flash DBT CSC

Can you please tell me what is your Knox Warranty Void status after all that flashing? I'm concerned about warranty if I flash german firmware which doesn't have the same csc as mine.

Sorry for interuption, but i just want to confirm - you had French firmware and then you flashed Russian and then again went back to French and your original csc has changed during this but your warranty isnt void? Thank you very much.

No way to debrand?

I've tried to debrand my phone by flashing open market firmware (XEO, Poland). I downloaded the newest version of Odin, flashed it but now my CSC under settings says OPV/OPV, OPV/EUX/OPV. OPV is my carrier's CSC, I'm wondering what that EUX is. I've looked it up on Google and it seems like I'm not alone, seems like Samsung changed something and older methods no longer work. The question is - will I still receive updates released for my carrier or I'm screwed for good? Phone INFO app says my active CSC is OPV. I'm running S20+ 5G (G986B) Exynos variant.
Same problem here, I've flashed it with XEO POLAND G986BXXU1ATBM firmware using Odin3 v3.14.1_3B_PatcheD, few minutes later it showed "PASS" and nothing changed. Same branded firmware after reboot..
It seems, that many more 'branded' CSCs are now part of Multi-CSC. For me, this is DTM (T-Mobile DE). It osed to not be part of multi-CSC but it is now part of OXM.
This means, that you can not force it anymore, as you already ARE having the exact same firmware with the 'branded' CSC. Just checked, OPV is in deed part of OXM now.
In the Ultra Section is a thread showing the CSCs belonging to OXM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...galaxy-s20-ultra-g988b-firmwares-5g-t4060443/
I have not yet found out / gotten an answer from anybody how to change CSC. Samkey also is not supporting the S20 series ATM - dont know, if this will change.

What I have worked out is that when you flash a multi-CSC firmware file you end running the CSC one letter earlier in the alphabet out of the. Available multi-CSC list
E.g. I had a VOD branded S105G and flashed BTU firmware, and ended up with TEL CSC
I also tried flashing BTU on an H3G branded A70 and ended up with EVF CSC
The original branded product CSC also never changes

Enable Developer mode and set OEM Unlock to ON before trying to change CSC via ODIN Flash
This should not be necessary? Doesn't that trip Knox, despite original Samsung Firmware?

Since now it's part of Multi CSC, does that mean I will receive updates faster? I can see other polish carrier's CSC are listed as single so I assume they are kind of separate firmware, am I right?
Honestly I do not know, if the respective CSC will be getting OTAs at the same time.
However, you can always flash manually with HOME_CSC, that is true.

Enable OEM unlock does not trip Knox. As long as you flash official Samsung firmware files in Odin Knox is never tripped
My own personal experience on S10 and above is you cannot flash a different CSC with OEM Unlock disabled
(Flash completes successfully but CSC doesn't change)
When changing from one e.g. branded csc to multi csc with the S10+, this worked fine without enabling oem unlock. Well, anyway. Flashing OXM multi CSC over OXM multi CSC will not change anything, right?

I found that you have to be on a single CSC before flash to multi-CSC and also you don't always end up on the CSC you expected
e.g. Flash BTU on a VOD product and you end up on TEL CSC (one letter in alphabet below VOD) and not on BTU
did everyone succesed DEBRAND ?

Recommended Firmware for Unbranding a Samsung Galaxy S20+ (SM-G985F)

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!
save all your data
install new firmware
you have a free apk here to change the CSC:

@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:

Change CSC/different region note 10+

Hello, I currently have an SM-N976N.
I bought refurbished and live in Ireland.
I am looking for a compatible firmware that's not Korean but not having much luck. I can't flash anything in Odin except n976n firmware, and even that didn't seem to get rid of the sky telecom provider bloatware and branding.
I can provide CSC etc if anyone thinks they can help! Looking for something like a global or UK Ireland Unlocked like the B...
tried to flag KOO firmware...I used CSC as opposed to home Csc but I also used userdata file in Odin as well.
The sk splash screen and bloatware is still present.. There was a warning or info message on phone after I flashed, and then it rebooted again. I couldn't read it as it was in Korean.
Also, if there's no way to change to a euro firmware, is there any way to change bootloader/recovery/download language?

Hello, try this firmware, you can convert your N976N to N976B, none of the files are tested by me, let me know if you had any luck successfully flashing your phone.
