will it trip Knox or void warranty and I can revert back without any issues?
Questions

of course not if you use official samsung firmware
2-Will it creat any problem in using the phone regards to carrier signals and other services provided (LTE VOLTE etc) in the area? I am using an unlocked version of the phone.
not always but I don't think it will make any problem for you
3-What are the maximum number of times I can change my CSC, In case if I want to return back to the original CSC of Saudi Arabia I can be done later on?
there's no limitation for this , you can change as much as you want
4-If changing CSC the AP will also be changed or not. they are interlinked to each other?
yes it will be changed since the firmware has 4 files including AP
Please also provide the guide to changing CSC smoothly without voiding the warranty
1- Download the firmware from Sammobile for your a50 be attention to device model , I mean a505f , a505g ...etc
2- Download Odin and Install samsung usb drivers on your computer
3- Make sure you remove your sim cards before flashing and then restart your device and enter the Download Mode
3- Open Odin and then put the 4 files from firmware which you have downloaded from Sammobile to their places in AP,BL ,CP, CSC (choose the one without Home word)
4- Don't change any setting or configuration in Odin and then after assiging the 4 files , press Start and then everything will be okay after it finishes it will reboot the device by it own , just wait till it finishes and happy flashing

Yes you need to create a backup in your pc and then factory reset your phone before flashing a new firmware.

Hey, thanks for info, will flash now
Hey,
I have samsung galaxy A5 A520F/DS UAE version.I have attached its original Firmware details.In order to use jio voice of over lte i have updated INU Indian firmware.Now my device
Droped and receiver is not working.I want to claim warranty.In samsung info now my firmware details show multi csc and my baseband chaged.
My Question is
1.Will i get warrenty if i just download and flash XSG uae firmware through Odin ?
2.Will it change my base band to original version ?
3.I Don't know wheather its UAE XSG OR LYS.is there any way to know this from screenshots attached ?
Sorry unable to add attachments it fails please reply with provided information.i can't share even image link because am new user.
And how do i attach screenshot
Please reply
1- there is no picture attached .
2- flashing official firmware does not void the warranty as it does not trigger knox switch.
3- Better use the modem attached with the firmware as they are optimized to work together and avoid triggering knox while flashing only one component of the firmware.
4- You can find weather it is XSG or LYS only in recovery and not in software information.

i bought my S9 that was stuck at 1 Dec 2018 software and no new updates are available (even with smart switch) to download so my best solution is to update it manually using ODIN
i used to have a galaxy gear watch and s5 and flashing was also simple but i came across a thread that said something about CSC Version and i am sacred that i may brick the phone while trying to update it
can someone point me in the right directions ?
my CSC : G960FOXM2CRLI

If there are no updated KSA firmwares for your S9, flash any CSC for the G960F, Germany (DBT ) has the latest June update
If you have KSA sim card need to flash KSA firmware with only Home CSC also and if you have EGY sim card and will come OTA downloads
KSA/KSA,KSA/XSG

Well yes you need CSCs to match for OTA, but it is not necessary for normal usage, once my region releases the latest update I will flash back for OTA
so it's normal to flaash any firmware even if the CSC doesn't match? only the phone model number right? flashing on ODIN like thr normal way kust like the s5? nothing else need to be done ? like enabling/disabling stuff on developper options ? OEM unlock? sorry for my noobies questions

Normal if your own region CSC has not updated their firmware yes, but you will not receive OTA updates until the CSCs match and will have to flash manually each update
There is a big thread about it so I'm not going to go into it in detail here, quick search should find what you need
Nothing else needed, boot to download mode and flash with Odin 3.13.1

I just waited it for to reboot and started normal, i didn't do anything else but it was the same for Thailand only.
Exact steps:
I downloaded the INU firmware from sammobile
ODIN 3.1.3
Put the extracted files in AP / CP / BL/ CSC
Ran the update
It happened and completed -> Pass
Then i waited for phone and it was still Thai Firmware.

Didn't you ask the same question on SamMobile?
You can't change the CSC from Thailand (THL) to India (INU)

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:
