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!
Hi all,

Thanks in advance

Is it safe to flash A505F firmware on the A505FN device? As far as I know, the only difference is NFC.
And is it possible to void the warranty by doing this?
I tried Smart Switch a few times, but no updates.

Hi thanks for your reply.
Should I need to remove all accounts, and make a factory reset first?
Smart Switch only will provide you the newest firmware in the same line, not an option to use other different firmware from a different region.
Ever is recommended to do a factory reset/format data before to "switch" to other firmware and make a backup before to restore it in just minutes with SS.
Install Phone Info(Samsung) and there you will find the CSC availables for your device before to change the firmware (most of the international models are multi_CSC compatible), search for the regions and compare them here https://www.****************/2017/0...specific-product-code-csc-and-country-region/ if some of them is convenient for you then you can flash it, check before your bootloader version, I think all are now in v1 but check it before to go further.

Yes, you usually can (I switched a lot of times) but you could find some issues regarding to radio/baseband depending on how different they´re.
Take a backup before using Smart Switch, take note of your actual firmware in a safe place if something goes wrong and don´t forget to enable USB debugging and OEM unlock before to go.

Hi,
Good yes already did a backup and OEM Unlock and USB Debugging are one.
I'm simply waiting the firmware to be downloaded. Take very long time to download from samfrew
Finally succeeded in flashing to INS.
I forgotten to remove my Sim Card but even that it has changed the CSC.
Thanks a lot for your help @SubwayChamp

Hey, what's the model of your device? Is it FN, or F? Because Indian firmware is A505F, so I don't know if I can flash A505F firmware on my FN device.

My model is A505F. I don't think you may install F on FN. It may work but you may have several problem with correct functionality of the phone or even brick it.

F firmware on an FN device should be ok afaik, but I believe you'll loose NFC
Also keep in mind that INS csc has this string in cscfeature_network.xml
<CscFeature_Message_ConfigImeiTracker>+919560345888,+918424098931,+919176905802</CscFeature_Message_ConfigImeiTracker>
I remember that this was a problem on custom roms for the old A-series since all roms for some reason added INS csc, so a bunch of users in europe got charged extra for messages to india if they didn't remove that from cscfeatures..
Not sure if it still acts the same, but I can confirm that the string is there in INS csc for A50.

There is finally firmware with July patch for FN versions of this device, so probably I'll wait few days, because only 5 countries in Europe got an update to the newest version, skipping June security patch, but I hope we'll have new features in the camera.
Hi to all.
Last week I got A50. During first boot of system I didnt inserted SIM card ant it seems that it triggered installing firmware for diferent region. Im located in Serbia but firmware is for Turkey and I have many apps on turkish language without posibility to change language in those apps.
Is any method to change CSC?
Thanks in advance!
Ok, no answer yet. Maybe to precise my question,
Could someone tell me which files I need to use to change my current CSC Turkey to lets say Israel CSC ILO.
I suppose it could be done with Odin but which versions of firmware...
Thanks

Nope, Im totaly disapointed in comunity in section for model A50. There is no answers, there is no tutorials, there is no custom roms except two of them, and I will probably sell this phone.

you should download https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a50/firmware/SM-A505F/TUR/download/A505FDDU4BTC9/330469/ this version, and use odin to flash it in your phone. Keep the sim in the phone for the process, because with that it will verify you are in turkey.
Although in odin the process may work if you use the HOME_CSC file to keep the data of your phone intact, i would suggest using the other file, because with that you'll have a fresher device
Hello,
I try to change my CSC to be able to activate the eSIM and Samnsung Pay,but i'm unable to do that in sdb (it says launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration that is successful but on my watch it doesn't show the CSC menu).
Is downgrading my only solution and if so , where can i find the firmware because I can't seem to find anything on SamMobile?
Thank you

Phones have USB cable for Emergency Flashing.
Samsung Watches is bigger problem if you kill the """WiFi Security chain"""...
You have not USB cable for easy second attempt.
And the LTE Watches makes more trouble... if you doing something wrong or simple out of luck.

Hi, I have SM-R805F bought in Czech rep. Can I use these instructions for downgrade my firmware to change my region (I want Samsung Pay)? I have saved my eSIM in my watches now - after flashning it will stay there or will be deleted? Thanks a lot
@ohajo3
Yes you can. Do not reset networks after flash during setup. Esim will stay.
I changed my CSC to Australia to get the Samsung Pay but this disabled VoLTE on my watch. I m now not able to call or receive any calls. I m from India. Watch was originally purchased in Australia.
During this process I was prompted for update which I did and now I m stuck with 4.0.0.7 version and no way to change the CSC back to INU using shell access way.
Only way now looks to use the combination firmware and Odin. But not sure where to find the Combination Firmware for SM-R805F LTE version.
Anyone or @adfree can point me to right direction to get the right required binaries ?
My device details
AP : R805FXXU1FSL4
CP: R805FXXU1FSL4
CSC: R805FOXX1FSL4
LTE version.
Can anyone help with the right binary I should use to downgrade?
These are my device details:
AP : R805FXXU1FSL4
CP: R805FXXU1FSL4
CSC: R805FOXX1FSL4
LTE version.
Not able to find combination firmware for this version. Not very sure which one I should use.
Thanks in advance.
@madono
You wish to have India INU?
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/INU/SM-R805F/version.test.xml
IMHO seems INU require OXX package...
Here are 2 OXX packages:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79644543&postcount=1
According to DBT list... they are before Tizen 4.0.0.7
So please try these 2 firmwares... with the old method to change CSC...
So IMHO no Combination Firmware required...
Only downgrade...

Oh, totally forgotten...

@adfree Thanks for the links! I m downloading it right now. Speed is slow, not sure if I will be able to download it in one go. Is there any expiry for this download link? If I m not able to download today, will try tomorrow again.
Another question for downgrade, do I have to choose all four files , namely, BL, AP, CP, CSC to downgrade?
I have not done a galaxy watch downgrade before so wanted to be sure not to mess it.
I actually wanted to have Samsung Pay and LTE enabled. It was working fine using Australia CSC code but my Phone operator recently changed calling only on VoLTE. So i was not able to receive calls or call anyone. Only internet was working using AU CSC.
Now it seems I have to choose between calling and Samsung Pay. SP is not officially launched on Galaxy Watch in India. Only on smartphone it is allowed. Not sure why.
Thank you once again!

madono
Hi @adfree,
I downloaded the firmware from the link. Today was bit hard day at work so not trying to update watch.
Will try it out with fresh mind tomorrow. Just need couple of things cleared before I try it.
1. In firmware download steps, it is mentioned to only use BL, AP, CSC file?
Downloaded rar has 4 files. Is this fine?
And final one this is my current watch status
AP : R805FXXU1FSL4
CP: R805FXXU1FSL4
CSC: R805FOXX1FSL4
Watch is LTE model.
I m good to go ahead with said firmware?
@adfree please review, don't want to mess this one. I know there is always risk but want to use correct firmware.
Thanks for the help!

One thing I observed that my eSIM was not reset. I was expecting it will be removed when I downgrade. Looks like it is left alone in this process.
Not sure if there is any way to enable Samsung Pay without changing CSC. Missing SP very much in current time.

Did I correct understand:
To change CSC by old method (with SDB) it is needed:
1. Flash with Odin all 4 files (early Firmware)
2. Change CSC with SDB
3. Install Samsung Pay
4. Flash with Odin all 4 files (latest firmware) back to FSL4
and Samsung Pay will stay?
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 )

@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
