Change Firmware to Israel? - Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers

My CSC code is MID, and I live in Jordan, right besides Israel, which has the ILO CSC code. Israeli firmware seems to get updates much faster than mine. Is it okay to change the firmware to the Israeli version? Would the CSC code matter anyways?

As long as it's the same module number, yes.

Do I have to remove my ROM and flash the other one, or do I just flash the new one over the one I have right now as an update?

Flash it over the one you have. You don't have to delete anything.

Will the warranty stay after that?

I not entirely sure but I think not. Your warranty will be void. But you can always flash the old rom back and get your warranty back as well.

It's not void. + I've flashed the new rom (using csc home) but the csc did not change.

How to Make TMB/TMB/TMB from TMB/TMB/XAA

Hi Guilds,
I just flashed T mobile firmware on S8 plus which was originally unlocked version. Found couple of glitches and I hope someone might had this issue before and can give some insight.
* After flashing full T mobile firmware and full reset from recovery I can see TMB/TMB/XAA. I am not sure why? Is there anyway to make
TMB/TMB/TMB ?
* I can not see VoLTE toggle in phone setting anymore . Anyone else?
Thanks in advance.

I just did the same. I can't see the VoLTE toggle anymore, but according to IMS Settings, it is turned on and activated. There's a thread here on how to verify it.
But where are you seeing TMB/TMB/XAA? I know those are the CSCs, but what app are you using to see them?

Look for the right files, use this formula and you'll be able to change CSC Code to your preferred carrier. For your case you'll change it to TMB from XAA which will change it to fully TMB/TMB/TMB.

Read all from the first step, It is more than just flashing CSC file. The link has steps on how to convert to a carrier of your choice, yours is Unlocked which is XAA, if i got you right you're trying to convert it to fully T-Mobile (TMB) so you can have all TMO's features.
It sounds difficult but if you find the right files, then read and understand what to do it is as easy as 1 2 4.
I've tried this and you CAN'T change the last code. It's stored in the efs file, and it only signifies what the original firmware was. It has no effect on features or updates when you change carrier firmware. To change it, you'd have to root the device.

I flashed....using prince's Odin.....
1. XAA (all 4 files)
2. Booted, setup, then took the June 1st update.
3. Get into download mode again
4. Flashed TMO user data to get video calling and flashed TMO CP to get RCS messaging
(You can do it separately or together)
And I ended up with the screenshot attached.
You won't see the option for Volte but it's on by default. You won't be able to turn it off.

Your device was originally the US Unlocked version?
I'm calling BS. I've tried every method for switching carrier and flashing the carrier firmware. You CAN NOT change the last CSC code to TMB. If you started with a US unlocked version, it will always read XAA. Everything I've read states you need root to change the last characters to XAA, as they are stored in the EFS file and cannot be changed.

No. I bought TMO S8+ from my local TMO store. I flash the unlock firmware to remove all the bloat. But I wanted the RCs and I wanted the native video calling. So after nearly two weeks (night and day) a flashing different combinations, I finally got everything to work, I have all T-Mobile features working.

Ok, that explains it. Then yes, your last CSC code will be TMB no matter what you flash. If you switch to VZW, it would read VZW/VZW/TMB. You probably didn't notice it with the unlocked firmware, because the unlocked firmware actually doesn't show any CSC in the About Screen.

You're absolutely right. U Firmware doesn't show it. I just reflashed the XAA firmware. I didn't really care for video calling or RCS. But I do care about better battery management which the XAA does better than the TMO firmware.

I don't understand the question
So on my T-Mobile s8+ it shows TMB/XAA/TMB, how can I get it back to TMB/TMB/TMB?
So I discovered that when I put my metro sim card in my S8+ the CSC turns from TMB/TMB/TMB to TMB/XAA/TMB, how can I get it to stay all T-Mobile, this is what is causing me to not be able to use Wi-Fi calling etc.

Newbie need help linking S9 to current country

Hi Have s9 G960F in service provide SW ver TEL/TEL/TEL - i beleive austalian telestra,
not getting any OTA updates - currently in Israel
tried google and search on forum, not found something 100% clear
Question 1 : is there any way without flashing new FW via odin to get OTA updates? (vpn, australian sim, fake location and etc...)
Question 2: if answer to question 1 is no, where to get stock Israel FW for G960F , and what is the best option for backup and restore
Thanks!
What is your current SW? According to sammobile the latest build is the BRJ6 (https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s9/SM-G960F/TEL/download/G960FXXS2BRJ6/246171/) if this one matches your current SW then there's no way you can get another udpate until, I assume Telestra is an Australian carrier, they release it...

In theory yes, but if you don't and they release a newer SW, you can just flash it iva Odin, don't it won't trip a thing nor void your warranty

My best option ALWAYS is Smartswitch, either for backup or SW update, if there's a new SW, Smartswitch downloads and installs it right away
seems telstra rolled out pie update
nothing in the phone, last update june2018
any last ideas before uing odin? maybe get australian sim card?

First, the csc is wrong, the link you posted is for Israel, not Australia, and second, once you downloaded the file, unzip it: once it's done you'll have 5 files(as you can see in the picture): AP, BL, CP AND 2 CSC home_ (that one won't erase a thing) and the csc (this one will format your phone)

yes it will. Itll also allow you to uninstall apps that sprint says you cant as they are no longer protected by the sprint specific firmware.
Itll just say Samsung on boot and shutdown. No animation. Just samsung. Forever alone. Nothing else. Just samsung. (i hope you like my humor LoL)

Flash new firmware with Odin [S20 ultra 5G - Exynos]

Hi, I start by saying that I'm not sure I'm in the right section, if I'm wrong you could tell me where to ask the question.
The current firmware of the device is: G988BXXS5BTJ4, I would like to flash G988BXXU5CTKG
What do I risk doing this? I don't want to void the warranty.
PS: I stayed in the S3 era for modding

Question Baseband Version UNKNOWN

Tried everything. Searched through the webs for past couple of days. Everything failed.
Majority of articles are from times of Ancient Rome. None work and are outdated.
Reflashed stock with nand erase and pit file. Checked and failed.
Tried root related solutions? Checked and failed.
Searched modem file. Failed.
Downgrade to prev version? No longer plausible. Due to BIT.
I flashed and reflashed with odin numerious of times. Nothing. Useless. Absolutely useless.
did u solve it?
Did you guys find anything? I think I'm gonna go check at a repair shop for someone with the z3x box and hope for the best.

Nope, he said no matter what rom he flashed it was always unknown IMEI.
However I found something interesting, turns out my IMEI and baseband numbers are intact when I check them from recovery. Maybe downgrading this phone should fix that, although I'm not sure if it is possible.

OK I tried doing that and now phone is bootlooping with secure check fail md1img error, that's the anti-downgrade thing complaining. No luck down the downgrade hallway.
I think the only option is to wait for a possible solution from the Magisk people or check if a future update somehow fixes the problem.

how do you check them from recovery? I was able to see them once after a botched flashing, entering download mode, there was a "show barcode" option or something like that.
I have read in an older thread in this forum, some guy solved it by downgrading, but to a version which is impossible to downgrade to for us, because our phones already came with the AUJ4 firm, and acannot go back.
