Hi everyone,
I just recently got a SM-R805N (Korea LTE ver) and want to change its region.
However the CSC variants in the stock only contains Korea telecom (as mentioned in the CSC thread by ecoco1)
I am trying to use the old fashion way: flash in the combination firmware, switch the CSC and then flash back to stock, in which, the CSC I am looking for is in SM-R805F version
However, I cannot find any free source for SM-R805F firmware online... all those available , also in this XDA forum, is only for bluetooth version.
Would anyone in XDA able to source the R805F firmware? (best to have both combination & stock?)
Thanks a million

Caution.
Since Gear S3 it is NO good idea to flash wrong Firmware nor wrong parts... to LTE variants...

Additional info...
Not tested what happens with CSC only... BUT be sure it is not less dangerous... because partition PIT is inside CSC and netOdin AUTOMATIC write this file to device...

Study offline...
You can extract files with 7zip and compare...

Thanks adfree, but its too late... I have already bricked my brand new galaxy watch...
Now the watch wont go into any mode below. All it does is have a flash of horizontally line screen, consistently.
continue
factory command
recovery
download (wireless)
Tried the method "press 2 seconds, release 1 second" does not work, think it corrupted the partition.
Only mode still work is "download" which shows the screen correctly. What make it worse is I reset the watch before doing this and forget to turn off activation lock (but I have my own user name and password, think that does not make it worse then?)
Appreciate if any idea on how to tackle this... am already thinking about buying the usb connector for odin flash...(hopefully something will make it work again...)
Suggestion, if you want try it self at home....
Look into this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78545468&postcount=74
Look into Video...
You can also click around this Thread... to see diffferent "solutions"...
Security prevent netOdin use... IMHO no way without USB to flash again.
If you have POGO Connector... Odin...
Then try FIRST to flash SM-R805N...
I see at this time it is not leaked...
So you need luck to flash SM-R805N Firmware...
Hopefully Warranty Void will still:
0 0x0000
Seems 3 SM-R805N Stock Firmware leaked:
Code:
R805NKOU1ARK8
R805NKOU1ARJ6
R805NKOU1ARHJ
You can PM me... if you need Help with POGO...
Best Regards
Sent you a pm thanks very much, i have not yet able to watch the video as im at work, but i think i need the items below:
R805N stock firmware
POGO Cable for usb connection
anything else would i need?

Thank you @deadman96385 for the firmware
Hi adfree, here is the photo of the "Download" screen
Now i need to get my hand on the cable to try it out...
Thanx for Photo. :good:
Good:
A
SM-R805N to see...
So sboot.bin is not overwritten...
B
Warranty void still 0 0x0000
So Knox not dripped... BUT you have to wait for final result after Repair Flash...
Not so good = IMHO bad...
Reactivation Lock is ON...
This means MORE f&%ing Security...
As "we" have only Stock Firmware...
If no luck then also Warranty Void Value will change... maybe.
P.S...
partition.pit aka PIT is 1:1 same between SM-R805F and SM-R805N... except the RSA 2048 Signature crap at the end of file.

My Galaxy is back alive! Thanks everyone in this thread. Tested the following:
Install R805N firmware: Download mode: Works
Install R805F firmware:
Download mode: PIT fail instantly, without install
Download (Wireless): Able to complete the install -> Fail warning in red -> Bricked
Tried for combination firmware, or CSC only, same result
Guess I will never have chance to change my CSC then...? (Unless there is a combination R805N available which has all CSC countries inside?)

You have to choose the correct ROM first. So if your phone is SM-A505F you need that ROM. Not recommended to use other ROMs like SM-A505 FN, G etc.
Once you have the correct ROM (must be newer than your current) use Odin 3.13 or newer to flash your phone . before flashing do back up and then remove all accounts!!! Then remove your SIM and memocard and do hard reset. Connect to Odin in download mode and flash. Wait till its completely finished and boot up your phone. 1st boot can take up to 10 minutes, once you see the Start screen insert the SIM card from desired region and let the phone restart again.
My phone for some reason picked up CAC product code (Uzbekistan). Flashed latest ROM inserted my Vodafone SIM and after restart my phone was on BTU (UK unbranded).
is flashing different CSC ROM will trip Knox
I my case this method for FN version did not worked any different way to do it?

No it wont trip knox as long as you are flashing official samsung firmware.
OK I investigate a bit today
looks like I was able to change CSC from ROM to FTM (Freanch Orange) using brand Orange from Poland (OPV) - all was done with JUN patch the same patch level files
I would like to change from ROM to XEO (Poland unbranded) and for this I did not found any way to work

I think that it's somehow let you change the CSC only one time... I recalling that I was able to do it on my A50 and A70 but only one time...
in my case it is more like I can change to branded CSC like orange or T-Mobile ( did this few time) but it not give me Poland as a country
I cannot change to unbranded CSC like XEO - it always show ROM as active CSC (softwanre CSC it is showing XEO) but for example news I have from Romania

typically it will remain as whatever sim you have in the phone.. there are tricks u can do.. id search some more as theres many csc related threads.. also make sure that csc u want is actually included on the device already since if it doesnt exist then well you cant use it until u get the right csc..

You didn't say what region you want. In my case I was after UK (BTU) or Germany (DBT).
Do hard reset (sim and memory card remove). Turn on phone without sim and wait until it says No sim inserted. Insert the sim from region or country you want to have on your phone.
Make sure you have multi CSC ROM. In my case it was ok. Changed from CAC to BTU.

There's no LTE/4G only mode. So if this is what you want no need for flashing different ROM.

You need multi CSC ROM. First time boot up without sim and memory card. When boot finished will tell you insert sim. I think Samsung set up phones to allow ONLY one change and only first time...

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.

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.

Thank you.
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.
Hey guys can someone help understand this error. I've taken a screen shot of it
It seems that this error is causing my Samsung members to be in French.
Another issue is software version showing XEF/XEF/VAU. Which is linked to the whole French language thing.
I've tried flashing using the original Vodafone firmware but doesn't seem to overwrite the current XEF revision
a bit more detail would help; you have what model with what firmware and trying to install what firmware?
Hi sorry for the lack of info
So originally I had purchased a note 10 plus sm-n975f model from Vodafone Australia. During the course of flashing using Odin it seems I may have flashed a BTU firmware which has made the default language French. I have since tried to flash original Vodafone Au firmware using home CSC and CSC however this error pops up. It seems it won't over write the CSC

If worst comes to worst...or just for ease, look into the app SamKey. Will allow you to change your csc without root.

Hello is there any free way to debrand Samsung A52s on Android 12 One UI 4.0? I also dont want to trigger the KNOX flag. My current CSC is PRT (Poland (Play)) and I want to make it XEO (Poland). I already tried some methods with phone call codes and none of them work. Is there any way to do this?
If by debranding you mean removing bloatware and changing your bootanimation etc, just root your phone and do those things. You'll easily be able to find tutorials on how to do all that for your device.
Now, if by debranding you mean that you want a stock android feel, then sorry but your device doesn't have any custom Android development, so you can't install a stock/custom ROM.

By debranding I mean get full stock Samsung firmware which CSC code is XEO, and my current CSC code (PRT) and both are in OXM - multi-CSC so I need to change the CSC code, but tools that can do that are paid, like SamKey so is there any free way
I don't have much experience with oneui Samsung devices, so I've got no idea, sorry.

There is nothing about how to do it just link to ADB
Then there's probably no free way to do what you're trying to do. Also in that post the person claims to have the same csc code as you (prt), and samkey did not work for him.
@Raflen100 Hello! Have the same problem as you: purchased a carier SM-A528 whitout realising the consequences and am no bugged by the super slow updates. I think i am on the same OXM firmware as you. Want from DTM to DBT. My attempt to simply flash DBT and then use dialer codes to switch the CSC failed all.
SAMkey is no option for me, as i don't have any idea about the background and don't want to ;-).
Also: don't want to trigger KNOX.
Since i use a different carrier, i just want a stock SAMSUNG and don't have to wait for weeks for my updates.
If you found a way in the meantime, that would be good news.

Actually, there is a way that was created in the meantime. Around may 2022, developers of samfw.com created the SamFw Tool. It can change the csc of phone through ADB without root, so it does not trip KNOX or wipe data, which is awesome. It worked for me really well. Just make sure to use the non-root CSC change.

Can you accidentally tell from experience, that the [provider] CSC change work without need for rooting? My impression so far is that the provider CSC can not be overwritten by flashing, even after having removed the filesystem, so may be stored somewhere else? Or is the SAMSUNG server telling it to the phone, based on it's IMEI?

You can download it from the link I gave you, it's the official post so no malware.
Yes, it does not have any need for rooting your phone.
Answer to your question is very simple, samsung has multi-CSC roms, so flashing one or another won't change anything on the newer phones. There still are single CSC roms, but there are really few of them. And yes, I think it's based on IMEI, because you can't change the entry for the factory CSC, it will always remain there, but you can change the current CSC of the software just by using this tool.

Brilliant, i got it now, thank you for pointing this out. It clicked for me when you wrote "current" CSC. I'll try.
