It is part of the Vodafone firmware . You would have to flash unbranded firmware to remove the app . Is the phone network locked ?
If its doing no harm you can leave it there and just ignore it

The phone has no Simlock :
1 x Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Plus 5G SM-N976B 256GB Aura Glow without Simlock New OVP
Will i get all regular Updates from Samsung (like Android 10) or do i get the updates from Vodafone ?
I´m confused.
Thanks

In Germany there are a couple of branded Firmwares out which are provider based.
You own a vodafone Note10+ which means you get OTA (Over the Air) Updates from a Samsung based by the provider overworked Firmware (normaly monthly).
You have the possibillity to remove the app via ADB or you can unbrand it with a open UK Firmware Countrycode BTU (no provider stuff on it).
Your current countrycode should be VD2 (Vodafone Germany).
If you are able to read german there is one big forum in Germany for android devices, take a look at android-hilfe.
if there is no simlock on the device, its also not against a law to 'rebrand' it with an other firmware.
Before starting this take a closer look here or in other forums to inform you about flashing an Samsung Firmware with a tool called odin (for Windows).
you can download the newest firmwares on sites like sammobile.com.
But don't do it hastily until you've read your way into the matter!

This is my Firmware. Could I flash DBT or DTM without problems ?
The unbranded Firmware for Germany is DTM ?

1. Don,'t know if this will work without any problems, if you can read and understand German take a look on the Android Hilfe forum there is a thread discribing unbranding.
https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...anding-auch-beim-note-10-moeglich.929549.html
2. Open Germany is DBT (which stands for debitel, now mobilcom debitel).
DTM is Deutsche Telekom which is also branded
On the other side, all this to only get rid of one app...
Have you tried to deactivate the app under settings - apps - three-point-menu (upper right corner) - show system apps.
Then Navigate to the app and tap on deactivate in app settings
since a couple of years branding (in Germany) is shrinked to one or two provider apps.
Also OTA Updates are nearly as fast as for the Open Germany DBT.
My last action in rebranding was on an Galaxy S7 so I can not say if debranding the Note10+ from VD2 to DBT works with out problems and afterwards fully access to OTA Updates.

Hello,
thanks for all this information.
I did get a Update for the phone already. It was the Securitypatch 1. November 2019.
I have a Deutsche Telekom Sim in the phone. It works without problems .
So i will get Android 10 sometime OTA with my Telekom Sim too ?
It´s not possible to stop and deactivate this App.
Thanks again for your help.

Sure you will get Android 10 also with this card, as soon it was released here in Germany for VD2

Hello,
i looked at Androidhilfe.de and followed the instructions at the thread https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...anding-auch-beim-note-10-moeglich.929549.html.
I used SamFirm to find a BTU Firmware (2019-10-30). I flashed it with Odin (normal CSC )
and got a clean phone.
Now my note 10 + 5g is debranded. No more Vodafone App. I´m on XEF/XEF/VOD now.
Today there was again a newer Verson of BTU Firmware (2019-11-13)
I flashed that with Odin3 3.13.3 using homeCSC .
My phone got updatet with no dataloss.
So my problem is solved
Thanks again for helping.:good:

Had a similar problem with my DTM (Telekom) branded Note10+.
Just flash the newest DBT FW with the home csc and you'll get the unbranded version without vodafone apps.
Also you'll get updates much faster.

Is there a DBT Firmware for the Note 10+ 5G
I didn´t find one yet.

I had to search a bit, but couldn't find an unbranded version for the german market.
Also it could be difficult to get 5G with a different country firmware because it's new, regulations and stuff.
But you could flash at leats the DTM firmware, so you'll get telekom preinstalled apps

[Q] Changing CSC code to BTU.

Hello from a newbie & sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but I can't seem to find it anywhere for the 2014 edition.
I've bought a 32Gb LTE Note 10.1 2014 edition from Hong Kong and needless to say it comes with a heavily biased Chinese version of the operating system, now having read other fora, I have managed to understand how to flash the device using Odin, however I was after a UK (BTU) version of the rom, but what I have got is the Spanish one.
OK, I have no problem with it as I have changed all of the settings to use UK English, but I am looking for a way to change the CSC code to from PHE (Spanish) to BTU (UK) so that I can get any firmware updates for it.
The one thing I want to do is keep it as near to stock condition as possible, namely I don't want to root it (is that what it's called?).
Can someone please advise me how to do this please.
Thanks.
If you know how to flash the thing, just get a Spanish firmware from sammy mobile and flash it
I've also ordered a 605 from HK. I intend to flash this firmware.
I bought the P605 from Germany and it is unlocked but T Mobile branded. Can I flash the UK firmware ?
Thanks,
Halldor

@Ben81.
That despite it saying it's a BTU firmware isn't. It's the one I downloaded and is the Spanish one (PHE), I really do wish that those who provide these firmwares ensure that when they say it's from the UK it IS from the UK and when you do the flash it gives you the correct CSC code, when you plug it into Kies.
Thanks for the info. Will probably still flash that as it'll be better than the Chinese one!
EDIT: Installed it and can confirm it gives a PHE code.

N976B firmware question

Hey guys...I have a Note 10 plus 5G from UK, but I am using it in another country (Romania). We have 5G here as well, so this is not the problem. The firmware on the phone is not the latest, but it doesnt find the new one via OTA. I checked the firmware site and there are the August one there. So the question is, if I upgrade via Odin, with one of those FW, will it lock to an UK carrier? Or a German one, or other? Or will it remain unlocked and no issues there?
Thanks!

If the phone is unlocked. The firmware you install on it will not lock it..

Indeed, thank you, did that, all went fine.
I have a similar question. I have a EE unit note 10+ 5g and was wondering if flashing the UK non ee version with a different CSC from samobile will actually change my phone's CSC or will it still detect it's a ee device and still say EVR/EVR/EVR under service provider information. thanks

If you use the multi-csc OXM it will change as per below.

Vendor Change?

Hye guys, not sure if this has been answered before - I did try and search all around for answers.
I have a note 10 + purchased in Australia - due to the delay in carrier updates I flashed a UK firmware (though the same SM-N975 firmware) for quicker updates.
However now that I have flashed back to my AU firmware - it seems the vendor file has been overridden and is locked possibly. As everytime I install a new firmware the set up screen shows in French until I switch the language to English AU. Once set up everything works fine apart from Samsung Members app - it shows in French which I now believe is due to the vendor file being locked?
Ive tried to odin flash Userdata with the Home CSC and CSC but no luck.
Any insight would help
thank you
Change CSC with Samkey.

CSC question

Hey everyone,
I realize that posts regarding CSC are a dime a dozen, I've searched through a lot but this stuff is somehow really tough to piece together. I rarely post because I normally find everything I need but here goes.
I bought my note 10+ in Slovakia from Orange. The phone's CSC is ORS/ORS,ORS/ORS, which I think is part of the OGC multi CSC. I'm guessing ORS stands for Orange Slovakia. However, I'm using a Telekom SIM card. I'm still waiting for my android 10 update, but I've noticed that Android 10 has already come out for the Telekom Note 10+. The CSC in that rom is TMS (which I think stands for Telekom Slovakia), which is a part of the ODX multi CSC . In the past I would just flash an update from another country, but from what I gather, this is somehow... riskier? nowadays.
So my question is, could I lose warranty if I were to flash that TMS rom? Or is there a possibility that it would mess something up? I figure that that's the rom that is as close to mine as possible ? but I'm not sure. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Hi, i have same Note10+ buyed from Orange Slovakia. I flashed Multi-CSC FW ROM (ORX) from samfirm, but CSC is set to default AUT. For change CSC you must buy 2 credits from samkey.

Question What Region Fold 3 do I have?

I bought the fold 3 off ebay(yes I know)it has the CSC number ending in CVEB
I can't find out anything about the CSC code. My model number is SM-F926B/DS
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Looking on sammobile it means H3G

So I think that's the 3 net work.
Would it be better for update to stay on the rom or flash a BTU rom?
There is no such CSC as BTU anymore, at least on a z fold 3, what's your service provider software ?

BTU has gone!
My phone has no provider.
But the ROM is B3G which is three.
So it must of been on three at some point.
It probably is running three branded software, but that will just be your original CSC code. If you wanted to change it you can, with free software from samfirm but the equivalent to btu now, is eux, Samsung have changed the way updates happen. UK the no longer has its own CSC unbranded code, we fall under eux, so Samsung can release faster updates all at once
By 3 branded I mean the ROM is customised for the 3 network, apps added etc. mines on o2, but that's an multi CSC ROM, oxm which means it has multiple CSC, including eux etc, but eux doesn't come with network customisations and is now the European unbranded
