CSC Selection for SM-G955F/FD/N and SM-G935F/FD/K/L/S/W8 devices (all others untested!)
What is this for?
CSC stands for Country Specific Code, so every single country (and even different providers in one country) have different codes, for csc features, wallpapers, wifi calling, VoLTE, sounds etc. So it is quite important to have the right csc file on your phone for your provider (so you can have all features which comes with your provider (like wifi calling)).
You may ask yourself now, where can this be flashed on? Basically on every stock based rom, as well as on stock roms (who are rooted of course). So: root and a recovery (custom) are required!
Your current country is not listed below? Send me your stock csc file from sammobile.com (SM-G955F variant) and I will add it!
NOTE TO ALL DEVS: You are free to grab any csc you want from this zip, as long as proper credits are given and a link to this thread exist in your OP.

- CSC features will be added in upcoming releases

1. Boot into TWRP
2. Make sure EFS partition is mounted
3. Open terminal under advanced tab
4.
Code:
dd if=/data/media/0/EFSBackup/efs.img of=/dev/block/sda3 bs=4096
5. Wait until it's finished
6. Your previous EFS has been restored successfully

Thank you, Luca.
Awesome!
Good to have your again with the S8 series!
Do you have these updated csc/omc compatible for s7/edge with s8 ported roms?
Thanks for sharing..
everything works with Tmobile CSC..
only Wifi calling is not working.. it's showing connected, but when calls started it went off..
one quick question, if i remove the EFS partition files, it will automatically generate or end up in NO IMEI/MAC Address..
reason being i flashed mutiple CSC (the files from S7 Edge with little modifications) and got 2 times network locked Sim card detected error. Would like to clean up the EFS partition clean and try the S8 CSC files to check it's Wifi Calling works or not?

Good job man , that was great
So, I was in XSA stock ROM and both VoLTE and Wifi Calling was working. Now that I'm on your Rom(BatStock) and after flashing the XSA CSC, I still dont see any options to enable them?
Am I missing something here?
Thank you for this.
I had manually copied the ATT CSC over to the phone before I dirty flashed this. WiFi calling would not work at all, but the Enhanced LTE Services was enabled.
I tried to install the US ATT one on an international F model. It seemed to have problems. Not sure if this is normal or not so I thought I would post here.
Code:
Mounting Partitions

Your CSC is successfully installed
Please Reboot now
script suceeded: result was [Please Reboot now]
When I rebooted I got "Upgrading Android..."
After reboot I don't have the AT&T on the right of the Status Bar.
Looking at /efs/imie/mps_code.dat, I have ZTO in there? I expected ATT?
So under settings, I see WiFi calling greyed out. I select it and it comes up and says "Wi-Fi Calling - please try to setup Wi-Fi calling again later." Previously, WiFi Calling in Setup was greyed out. So this is a nice change!
I see Enhanced LTE Services checked! :good:
So I manually edited /efs/imie/mps_code.dat, and changed it to ATT and rebooted. Now I got the death star boot screen. and AT&T on the right of the status bar - at least after initial reboot, but then it disappears .
But WiFi calling still does not work.
Thank you for this!
Edit:
One other strange thing I noticed is that I replaced the /system/media/shutdown.qmg, bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg files with my own boot animation but it keeps using the death start ATT one. So I delete /system/omc/ATT/res and got rid of the death star boot screens!

That error from script is normal. I found out that the preload partition does only exist on S8+ models so all s8 users will get that mount log, but it's not important since it's not used after all.
For ATT, I need you guys to help me out here, I don't live in the US, I don't have a ATT sim or whatever so I just started where we ended on the s7.
That was:
Original CSC needs to be ZTO, otherwise imsservice would constantly crash (this is maybe obsolent now?)
Anyway I'm open for all your suggestions as you are a proper ATT user!

Thank you for your work and for the quick reply. I would be happy to help. I am not seeing any crashes at all, and none for the imsservice. I see ims service 1.0 installed but I don't know if I am using it. Changing /efs/imie/mps_code.dat to ATT did not seem to cause any crashes - at least for me on the S8+ model F.
One other question to ask. Is there a recommended way to remove the carrier label on the left side of the status bar?

Not sure the 1.8 files will write mps_code.dat as TMB, the latest ZIP will flash mps_code.dat as ZTO only for all US variants..
if i go and overwrite the mps_code.dat as TMB and reboot, i can see the Tmobile Boot logo.. but Wifi calling is still wonky.. need do a clean flash and test it.. will wait for BATSTOCK next update to proceed further.

What about Video Calling & VoLTE? I only use Video Calling & VoLTE (rarely use WiFi Calling)
Thank You!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
VoLTE works.. will give information about VideoCall when you open the dialer.. but i haven't used it.
Regarding ATT in the US. I had to call customer service and the nice lady said that their system would not accept the IMEI of my new S8 + since it was not a phone from ATT. I gave her the new IMEI and their system would not accept it. She ended up using the IMEI of an ATT S7 we had on the account and then Volte seemed to start working. I see Video calling is now also working .
I still cannot get WiFi calling to work - meaning when I try to enable it in settings, it sits for a minute and then says try again later. It will not enable wifi calling.

We can help to our extent..
I overrides the mps code with TMB but no crashes and I got the Tmobile boot logo...
Volte works (even if i modify the Csc of other region also it works).. WiFi calling says connected.. But not works.
If i select use only WiFi for calling, signal is cut off.. But calling not going through.. Says out of service area.. In the dialing screen..

Okay great so this workaround from the S7 is not needed anymore. I will delete my additional code concerning this than, thanks for the report!
For wifi calling, I'm pretty sure we will find the cause for this problem and error it out as well!
And about the carrier on statusbar:

Hello friends,
I'm from Brazil and I bought a LTE Galaxy Watch in Germany, exactly the same version (Sm-R805F) used in Brazil. However when I went to my mobile company to activate the e-sim it was not possible. When the system ask to read a QR code, in the mobile networks' activation process, a message of error appears ("It's not possible to conect this mobile"). Does anyone know why and how to fix it?
Can you check this Code...
Code:
*#1234#
Seems DIFFERENT Software crap exists... so different Profiles...
Code:
OXX
OXA
Check your CSC ...
OXA could be inside German Version... and OXX is maybe for Brazil...
Best Regards

Thank you very much!
I did it and the CSC is OXA (German version).
How can I change it to OXX?
PS: I did as they recomended here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/gear-s3/guide-how-to-change-gear-s3-r760-csc-t3784226 ) but theres no Brazilian code nor OXX.
OXX and OXA are """group"""
OXA contains minimum DBT CSC... for Germany
You can NOT change from OXA to OXX... because the config files not inside...
Your Link shows only way to change existing CSC inside flashed CSC file...
Example...
I have Firmware files... from OXX region...
Code:
CSC_[B]OXX[/B]_R805FOXX1BRI4_usr.tar.md5
You can unpack and extract with 7Zip... csc.img file.
Folder preconfig have 8 folderS with 7 CSC... DEF means Default IMHO...
Code:
BRI
TGY
VAU
XNZ
XSA
XSG
XSP
XSP is Singapore...
For the others I am tooo lazy... forgotten... use Google...
I have NO idea if it is an good idea to try to flash with netOdin such CSC files... or complete Firmware of OXX region.
Samsungs funny Security...
Best Regards
Edit 1.
I have tried to identify Brzil via Google search...
For me it looks no CSC inside for Brazil...
I have NO idea if SM-R805F is for Brazil market...
Edit 2.
Okidoki... Google search leads to this:
https://www.samsung.com/br/support/model/SM-R805FZSAZVV/
So looks like exists for Brazil... and you can see Sales Code ZVV it is in Product Code...
Code:
SM-R805FZSA[B]ZVV[/B]
IMHO 3 region groups... OXX OXA and ?
Firmware for Brazil seems not leaked... with ZVV inside...
Edit 3.
Firmware for SM-R805F for Brazil looks like this:
Code:
R805FXXU1CRK7/R805F[B]OWO[/B]1CRK7/R805FXXU1CRK7
So OWO is Region Code... for Brazil...
IMHO OWO package have ZVV Sales Code/CSC inside... for Brazil.
Edit 4.
My fault...
Code:
R805FXXU1DSC7_Tizen_4File_Multi CSC ([B]OWO[/B]).rar
Leaked and available...
But still no idea if this helps you... because dangerous to flash... Sams..g Security could prevent success...

Hi,
Can you list the available CSC's within the OWO version ?
I wasn't able to find it for download to check by myself..

ZTO

I've been reading the post, but I'm a little lost. I do not know what to do. I have a R815 Vodafone Germany version, and I want to activate it for movistar Spain, but I receive the error "It's not possible to conect this mobile". The data of my watch are the following:
AP: R815FXXU1ARH5
CP: R815FXXU1ARH5
CSC: R815FOXA1ARH5
With the SDB utility I have accessed a hidden menu on the watch and I changed the original CSC VD2 to XEC, or at least I thought so ... I think VD2 is Vodafone Germany, and XEC is Movistar Spain (the company that I have on my mobile phone). Samsung Pay works, but LTE is impossible to configure ("It's not possible to conect this mobile")
It is possible to get a different firmware and flash it?... or how can I get to configure an esim (lte) from movistar españa?

Hey guys, I was reading this post and I have a problem a little different of you.
I bought a Galaxy Watch from The USA, LTE version (R805U) but I live in Brazil, I went to the phone company (VIVO) to try able the LTE (eSim) function but they said to me that it is impossible because only the R805F works here. My question is. Can I change the firmeware from 805U to 805F and it will works LTE here ?

Is not to you to do'it...
You need to call the operatório, in this case, Movistar and subscribe for the service and they activate the eSim...

Hi had same problem
Hello mate
I bought Samsung Galaxy watch when I was on holidays in Greece as in UK the LTE version was only with contract on EE. As I'm using Vodafone UK, I got the Qr Code for the esim but Samsung neither Vodafone could help me to make it work. Finally I make It work but my self, because my Samsung Galaxy watch is from Greek region I try to activate my Vodafone uk esim with a Greek sim network in my mobile device and it's worked perfectly, even when I put back my Vodafone uk sin on my mobile.
Hope that helps you.

Hi, could you elaborate on how you did that? I want to buy the silver LTE version from Hong Kong because that colour is not sold in Singapore, and it would be great if I could get the LTE working.

Sou do Brasil tambem e estou com o mesmo problema e duvida. Vocë conseguiu resolver?
I have the Canadian version of S20. How do I check the supporting LTE bands? Carrier info seems inaccurate.
What's the service code?
I don't know how to get all single band support but i know how to get Carrier Aggregation combinations listed from Samsung devices. I guess you have Qualcomm edition in Canada so here is instruction to get log file: https://mt-tech.fi/en/how-to-get-4g...ons-from-your-android-phone/#Qualcomm_devices . If you like, please share to me (https://cacombos.com/contribute) so i can add your model supported Carrier Aggregation combinations to my site.

Hi Olkitu,
I had a S20 Ultra SM-G9880 from Hong Kong. I used the phone in Austria for about 1 Month. Everything worked fine in Austria, but I had the problem with CA with my provider.
My phone did not have all the combinations of CA from my provider.
Because of that I sold my phone. Can you edit the CA combinations of a Sm-g9880?
If yes I would by another time phone, because it is perfect for me.
Thanks and regards

I don't know how to edit carrier aggregation combinations of Samsung but we can get all supported supported combinations out. If you like just provide BandInfoXXX file from your device i can list then supported combinations of your phone? Here is instruction: https://mt-tech.fi/en/how-to-get-4g...ons-from-your-android-phone/#Qualcomm_devices

Hi Olkitu,
I had a S20 Ultra SM-G9880 from Hong Kong. I used the phone in Austria for about 1 Month. Everything worked fine in Austria, but I had the problem with CA with my provider.
My phone did not have all the combinations of CA from my provider.
Because of that I sold my phone. Can you edit the CA combinations of a Sm-g9880?
If yes I would by another time phone, because it is perfect for me.
Thanks and regards

I think if you changed your csc to tiwan "BRI " it should solve your problems, because Hong kong firmware "TGI" doesn't support CA but Tiwan firmware does so buy the device again but change the Firmware to BRI tiwan

Hi,
Thats true and not
I changed with the program samkey or so my csc.
After that i had the 5g option, caller ID and CA.
But the problem was the combination of CA. It did not paired Band 20 and Band 3. Only Band 20 and Band 7 or Band 7 and 3.
I described it in my other Postings.
I hope there is someone who can edit the CA combinations.

I you still have Caller ID then it is still hongkong firmware , tiwan version dont have caller ID so I think you should have clean flash of the tiwan firmware after changing the csc

Hi hoss_n2,
Are you sure that it will work?
Then i will order another sm-g9880.

I have read your linked thread before , but I want to ask one last question, how do you test Carrier aggregation from your phone and how you test the active bands for Carrier aggregation my device is a Tiwan version and it is doing CA between band 3 & Band 8
In the menu *#0011# there you can see how is the CA status and with which Band it is paired.
I tried my sim with an exynos version and could see that band 20 is paired with the other bands.
With the sm-g9880 band 20 was not paired with other bands while CA. Only band 7 and band 3 were paired.

I'm currently on Tiwan firmware with BRI csc and my device is doing Carrier aggregation on Band 8 & band 3
attached picture
My device also paired band 3 and band 7.
The problem was the pairing with Band 20 because band 20 ist for the long distance.
There are also people in Australia who also have the problem.
@hoss_n2 what country and region were you successfully using CA at? I read that you changed from TGY to BRI.
I'm currently on T-Mobile USA and wondering if changing CSC to BRI will enable CA for me.

Did anyone confirm if changing csc tgy to bri changed the carrier aggregation combo files ? I don't think it does. Only way to check would be to examine the CA combos for bri and tgy to compare. No point in changing csc or flashing it they are the same.
I have a SM-G9880 BRI (taiwan) version and using in Australia. I have all the 3G/4G options but I'm unable to select any 5G - even though the phone is a 5G phone. I know my carrier does not use 5G in my area at this time, so is it not showing any 5G options because 5G is unsupported? Is it SIM related or would it be because I have a BRI (taiwan) CSC? I know others in Australia with SM-G9880 TGY versions using 5G (on different carrier) and they have 5G options... Just confused whether the 5G options are disabled because of the SIM, or because of the CSC???
If its CSC related, I might try Samkey to change the CSC to TGY...

5G has not been activated on BRI csc as there is no 5G in Taiwan yet. Its best changing to TGY however you will only get 5G using sim tray 2 (meaning you will not be able to use SD card at the moment).
Is there a fool proof method using Samkey?? Any help is appreciated

Actually - never mind
I sorted it! That was easy!! And 4G now has a 4G+ and its even faster than before woooohoooo!! :highfive::highfive::highfive:
Please help
I am also stuck with Taiwan version and have already signed up to a 5G plan in Australia thinking these were all 5g phones. Please suggest what I should be doing.

Thank you in advance
use samkey to change your csc to tgy , 5g sim card goes to second sim tray

Is changing to hk firmware version using Samkey what you ended up doing? Was it easy.... I am not Tech savvy. I got this phone from eBay seller who was showing in Sydney but the phone ended up coming from Taiwan

This is the method I used (creds to user jabreel.torrin in the S10 forums. I did modify this though to suit the S20U) - You don't need to Odin flash the TGY firmware as its identical to the BRI - only CSC needs to change from BRI to TGY :good:
1. Buy 3 credits (can't buy 2) from this seller that on ebay that I used : https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SamKey-Code-Reader-3-Credits-UNLOCK-Fast-Service/324110503100?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648
2. After buying the Samkey credits you will be emailed the username and password for the Samkey App (you need this!)
3. Enable developer options on your phone: Settings > About phone > Software Information > Tap "build number" 8 times or until you see a pop-up message that says "Developer mode has been enabled".
4. Turn on USB debugging on your phone: Settings > Developer options > USB debugging > Allow USB Debugging > Tap "OK"
5. Go to www.samkey.org and download the Samsung USB drivers (if you havent installed any samsung software on the PC already) and the Samkey application
6. Install the drivers first, and then install Samkey application on your computer > Connect your phone to your computer with a usb cable > Login with the username/password you received from the ebay seller.
7. Click the "Read Info ADB" button to make sure your phone has been accepted by ADB
8. Insert the CSC code you want into the "Change CSC (Buyer)" field > With the BRI SM-G9880 you want to insert TGY (where is shows PHN in the pic below)
9. Click the "Change CSC" button > Confirm that you want to spend 1 or 2 credits (for me it was 1, but some report 2 used).
Let the application do it's work after which it will reboot and then you're good to go. :fingers-crossed:
For me it was seamless and worked so easy. Zero complaints. 5 min later I had a TGY phone - and I have reserve credits for the next Samsung phone I need to change Hope this helps guys!

It's worked!!!! And it was super easy. Is it true that only Sim 2 works for 5G? I can see the 5G option on Sim 1 but haven't seen it connect. Not sure if it's cuz of no coverage or issue with phone Sim trays
I did this but I wouldn't recommend changing to TGY firmware as a Telstra user. You don't get band 28 700mhz carrier aggregation. So no 4gx . For some reason I only get it with the Taiwan CSC but you miss out on 5g , to me that is less of a big deal than no 700mhz band 28 pairing with other bands for 4gx. In other words you'll get 4g+ less with Hong Kong firmware but you'll get 5g.

Not at the moment.
Best to stay on Taiwan firmware as they appear to have 700mhz band 28 carrier aggregation and wait till they add the 5g option when their local networks commence it later this year. I'm told it's this time when Samsung will push a update to enable 5g capabilities to Taiwan firmware.

Is there an option to go back to BRI Taiwan firmware once they enable 5G with the option of have both these bands at the stage?

Yeah, you'll just have to download the Taiwan firmware when they get that update and change the CSC with samkey back to BRI

If you change your CSC, will your next firmware update me for that country. Like I have just changed from BRI to TGY... Will be next update automatically be the Hong Kong version of firmware? Or will it go back to BRI?

You won't get a over the air update if you CSC doesn't match your firmware. You'll have to change the CSC to match your firmware. So change to BRI Taiwan CSC to receive the Taiwan update and vise versa if you have the Hong Kong firmware

So my phone was BRI Taiwan version and all I did was buy the Samkey credits and change CSC to TGY to enable 5G. Does that mean no more updates for me until I change it back to Taiwan?

Band 28 is available in the carrier band selection options FYI :good::good:
Was wondering if any USA carrier users switched from TGY to BRI and got CA after change. Cheers
