First of all, i think this section belongs to better group than general thats why i think that it should be in apps themes section..
as it serves a better purpose like of apps in knowing about our phone...
So here i present you the collection of codes that work on almost all galaxy devices - importantly GRAND
credit- well i am just a geek and have found this through google
The secret codes can be used for several purposes, such getting the info of your device, resetting call counter, manage connectivity and radio, getting battery data, software and hardware version, setting up touchscreen, testing some features, changing CSC codes, and lots more
1.THE BIG QUESTION - What was the date on which my phone was manufactured ?
-Open your phone’s dialer and type the following code: *#197328640#.
-In case it does not work for you, try this one: *#*#197328640#*#* . (WELL I DIDNT GET SUCCESS IN IT :laugh
-This will open the Service Mode menu on your Galaxy Grand.
-Select the option N. 2, that is “Version Info”.
- On the next screen, select ‘HW Version” (here HW means hardware).
-Now you will see another set of options on the next screen. Now tap on “Read CAL Date”, and bingo! You can now see the date of manufacture of your phone.
In my case, it was 20130128 i.e 28th january 2013 .

Then there is some issue in your network SIM. I mean see if your SIM is activated, maybe it is not recognising in the S4 Mini.

Root and install a custom ROM. Or root and remove the .bin file for the network code blocker.

Take a look through my SkyHigh ROM thread. I think I might have your CSC as an Aroma install option. This is what I believe you need.
A CSC changer app might also help (root also required) but will wipe your data.
Having the correct CSC should enable the options in device settings, as well as automatically settings your APN & MMS
Edit: just checked my ROM. Your CSC isn't listed but Singapore might work for you. Just guessing though.

From my device:
AP: T325ZSU1BNK1
CP: T325ZSU1BNK1
CSC: T325OZS1BNK1
Baseband version T325ZSU1BNK1
Kernel version [email protected]#1 Tue Nov 11 21:20:55 KST 2014
Build number KOT49H.T325ZSU1BNK1
I live and work primarily in the United States, and realize there's no official US ROM for this device, which I purchased new from eBay. However--given that I speak English--I wonder: are there ANY advantages or disadvantages to switching to a ROM designed for a largely English-speaking region (e.g., UK)? As I understand it, to avoid tripping KNOX, I'd need to use a ROM dated no later than the one presently installed on my device. I've rooted my device using the Towelroot app and directions so nicely detailed elsewhere on this site. But, I'm not clear what practical differences exist between the various regional ROMs. Can anyone clarify for me?
Many thanks.
XAR is the regional code for usa, all regional roms are almost similar but vary a little depending on rules amd regulations of given country, apart from this i have no idea about others.
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Free mobile app
like poster above said XAR is US / English, it's also known as Cellular South.

Thanks. And sorry. Looking at my original post, I find that I neglected to mention my device name, but only provided the ROM version. Mea culpa. I have the SM-T325 (LTE), for which there's no US-based carrier support, AFAIK, and no XAR ROM on the sammobile site. Unless I've just missed it.
I know there's a trick which can enable US English without rooting as long as EN-US existed in framework-res.APK.
If you just need EN-US language, you can use some simple commands which is required for morelocales2 (no rooting required).
If you need to enable English on the tablet then just go to
Settings -> Controls (3rd tab) -> Language and Input ( First item on left pane) -> Then it will say Language in the right pane (first item) click it and you should be-able to select English.

Thanks. The Tablet arrived NIB "speaking English," so that's never been an issue. I merely wondered if there was any reason to consider changing to a different ROM. Sounds like not.

As far as I know, I don't think there is a difference besides probably minor things (like default language) , even my Note 3 n9005 I bought at walmat in the US had the United Arab Emirates firmware installed in it and it still worked with my USA carrier
I currently have the US s20Ultra unlocked model on ATT (don't foresee changing carriers). Currently I am missing features like VoLTE and VVM. What other features would I be missing if I stay on the unlocked firmware? Can I flash the ATT firmware to get those missing features? Can I flash back to unlock?
Thank you
What's the CSC on your device?

I am not sure what I am looking for. Its currently on ATT/ATT.
Open your dialer, enter *#1234#, press the Dial Icon. You'll see CSC: G98??, the next 3 letters will be your device's CSC Code. Your Service Provider's CSC is "ATT" which is different than the CSC in your device. Whether or not you can change the CSC depends on your device's CSC. Device firmware is always configured for the specific, original CSC or Multi CSC's.
This post may be the best workaround.

Your device has Multiple CSC's which are included in OYM so you should be able to change your CSC to ATT, which is the CSC for AT&T.
Go to "Settings" then "About phone". Write down your IMEI Number. Open dialer and enter *#272*IMEInumber# (In the thread replace IMEInumber with your actual IMEI Number). Press the Dial Icon, you should see a screen with the list of available CSC codes for your device. Select ATT and tap the Install option.
Be aware your firmware isn't AT&T, it's unbranded so even if you change the CSC, full call functionality may not be available. You can obtain AT&T's firmware at SamMobile.

Varcor, thank you so much for all the directions.
As it stands right now, it is already on ATT. Once I flash over to the ATT firmware, would I be able to flash back to an unbranded one in the future, for whatever reason? Additionally, do I have to stay on the ATT firmware to retain those features? Or could just having my phone communicate with ATT at least once with my "branded" phone and then flash back retain those features?

You're most welcome. Yes, flashing back to unbranded won't be a problem. I don't think you will be able to retain the features if you go back to the unbranded firmware, it's not configured to allow full call feature functionality. Also, after flashing to the AT&T firmware you may need to contact their CSR for external programing. Good luck!
S20+ AT&T
Hi Varcor,
I'm new in this firmware things. I'm from Singapore and has been using S20 Exynos, but due to the extreme heat, bad battery life,etc. I've decided to import S20+ Snapdragon from AT&T, according to the Service provider SW ver information, it's showing as SAOMC_SM-G986U-OYN_ATT_QQ_0023 (I believe this means the set are unlocked).
With that said, I noticed that the software is outdated and the security patch level is on February 1,2020. when I referring to the AT&T website, It's showing as the latest software is QP1A.190711.020.G986USQU1ATE6 (June update) and mine still on QP1A.190711.020..G986USQU1ATAW (February). My CSC is G986UOYN1ATAW.
My question now is, whenever I tried to hit the software update, it's keep telling me that my software is up to date. Is there's a reason why it's wont detect the update? If it's because I'm in Singapore not US, then there's no choice that I need to flash using the firmware from Sammobile. The problem is which one that I need to download as AT&T carrier is not listed there. There's only T-mobile, Sprint, Unknown, USA. Please help.

The problem is which one that I need to download as AT&T carrier is not listed there. There's only T-mobile, Sprint, Unknown, USA. Please help.

I would reach out to SamMobile and inquire why they're not listing the AT&T Firmware Update. You state your CSC is G986UOYN1ATAW. That CSC is also associated with T-Mobile. You're not using an AT&T SIM Card, correct? On a Multi-CSC Device when you insert a different SIM, the device should update to the correct Service Provider. If you're using a SIM from a Service Provider other than AT&T you probably won't receive AT&T Software Updates, which are distributed by Samsung, not AT&T via OTA.

I did try to reach them, but for some reason they are giving me some irrelevant answer. Something like "You probably don't get OTA-updates (otherwise you got them already from AT&T)". We are having a conversation breakdown there, I think they are not an english speaker (or my english is just bad). Really? that CSC is associated with T-Mobile? now I'm getting more confused because the box is stated AT&T and it's sealed.
I'm using Singapore SIM card (Singtel), so you were saying this set I'm using right now is a Multi-CSC device? If i were to flash to the other carrier firmware, will it create any problem?

Flashing Singtel Firmware won't work since it's configured for the Exynos SoC. Multi-SIM Devices have only regional Service Providers available, you don't have Singtel as an option in an AT&T device. Based on your situation I would consider one of two options. The first would be insert an AT&T SIM just for OTA updates. Not sure if you received an AT&T SIM when you purchased the device, if you didn't they're not hard to find. The second and likely best option is sell the device and purchase a Global Variant with a Snapdragon SoC, you'll receive updates regardless of your Service Provider. If it makes you feel any better there's lots of users in the same predicament. They want the Snapdragon device in regions selling mainly Exynos devices. Workarounds are in many situations are challenging,

Your device has Multiple CSC's which are included in OYM so you should be able to change your CSC to ATT, which is the CSC for AT&T.
Go to "Settings" then "About phone". Write down your IMEI Number. Open dialer and enter *#272*IMEInumber# (In the thread replace IMEInumber with your actual IMEI Number). Press the Dial Icon, you should see a screen with the list of available CSC codes for your device. Select ATT and tap the Install option.
Be aware your firmware isn't AT&T, it's unbranded so even if you change the CSC, full call functionality may not be available. You can obtain AT&T's firmware at SamMobile.

I have the exact same phone and using the same network as garyHal, unlocked 988U1/OYM/ATT.
I got my bootloader unlocked and decided to apply the ATT firmware (
G988U1UES1BTJ2). My CSC was already ATT so I didn't perform the csc install step.
After setting the phone up as new, it still seems like its running the unlocked mode. I don't see any kind of branding or extra ATT stuff that may have been downloaded. How do I verify that I have the right firmware and CSC set to ATT?
Thank you.

How did you manage to unlock your bootloader since US Snapdragon variants are locked down pretty tight? I don't think the firmware is dedicated to ATT, it's Multi CSC, designed to function with a number of US Carriers. You should be delighted you're not suffering with ATT bloatware! To check the Active CSC go to About Phone, Settings, Software Information, Service Provider SW ver. On the bottom string the first three letters are the Active CSC on your device. You can review this article for additional information on Firmware and CSC's.

If I am reading it correctly, this is what I am seeing:
ATT/ATT/XAA
I am happy that I don't have the ATT bloatware but I also feel that ATT is locking me out of some of their features because I don't have a "branded" phone, such as wifi call or visual voicemail. Am I misunderstanding your post from above, #6, that flashing ATT firmware would give me the carrier features?
Additionally, does the firmware determine what frequency bands I am using and if I am taking full advantage of ATT's offerings?

Flashing ATT Dedicated Firmware would give you the best chance for additional call features ASSUMING your Ulocked Device is capable of incorporating those features. It should do the trick since the hardware is identical to an ATT device. I would head to an ATT Store to get a definitive answer. Samsung has made it more and more challenging to mix and match branded and unlocked devices with CSC or Firmware modifications. In many cases you won't know until you try. Users want their smartphones to be smart, to work perfectly in every situation but the major carriers use proprietary tools to hold clients hostage.

Open your dialer, enter *#1234#, press the Dial Icon. You'll see CSC: G98??, the next 3 letters will be your device's CSC Code. Your Service Provider's CSC is "ATT" which is different than the CSC in your device. Whether or not you can change the CSC depends on your device's CSC. Device firmware is always configured for the specific, original CSC or Multi CSC's.
This post may be the best workaround.

As the title suggests, I was able to successfully change the CSC on my factory unlocked (unbranded) Fold 3 - F926B/DS bought in Germany with OXM firmware having Android 13 & one UI 5.0 from EUX to INU csc using SamFW Tool v3.31 in hardly 2-3 mins. Kindly note that I also looked into other options to do this like Samkey tool (paid service) and alliance shield app (which doesn't work anymore) etc before engaging with the SamFW Tool as none were simple/working with no complications whatsoever involved.
My main objective to change the CSC was to enable call recording and couple of other features (including some pleasant surprises listed in the end of the post) which were available in the INU csc with little to no hassle. The process was pretty simple, straight forward and most importantly, FREE . It DOESN'T require any factory reset, flashing of roms or wiping cache partition before or after the process.
The step by step guide process which worked for me is as follows:
STEP 1: Click here - SamFW Tool Download - to download the latest version of SamFW tool.
STEP 2: Remove the sim card and connect your phone to a computer and make sure the phone's drivers are installed.
STEP 3: Unzip the downloaded file. Right click on the file SamFwFRPTool.exe and 'Run as Administrator'.
STEP 4: After the software opens, make sure your phone is detected before proceeding. If its detected, click on ADB tab in the software.
STEP 5: In your phone, go to developer options and enable 'usb debugging'.
STEP 6: In your phone, open phone dialer and type *#0*# to get into test mode. Leave the phone unlocked and keep it aside now.
STEP 7: Click on 'Change CSC' button in the ADB tab of the tool. Now the tool will connect to your phone, check and list the available CSCs which your phone model supports as shown in the pic attached.
STEP 8: Choose a CSC which you wish to change to from the drop down menu in the pop-up window as shown in the pic attached.
NOTE: The tool also has the option to force the phone to accept a CSC not listed/supported as well by manually entering the same. However, I would not recommend doing it if you really wish to get OTA updates and also to evade any unforeseen issues. I must admit, I haven't frankly tried this and do not know what lies in the pandora box to be honest.
STEP 9: After choosing the CSC from the drop down, the tool quickly connects to the phone, changes the CSC and restarts the phone.
STEP 10: After the phone restarts, unlock the phone using your pin/password, insert your simcard, check the change of CSC in software information, disconnect the phone from the computer and also disable the 'usb debugging' in the developer options.
That's it! All done. Phone restarts with the new chosen CSC and the related features will now be active!
BONUS: There is also an option in the ADB tab in the SamFW Tool named 'Battery information' which gives the complete information of the battery status including the 'charge/discharge cycles' along with its temperature, voltage etc. like in the pic attached. Do note that the information shown in the 'Genuine battery' section isn't correct for some reason and always shows as 'NO' for any phone with/without genuine battery.
With my choice of INU csc the following major changes/surprises were noticed over the EUX:
1. Call recording and a couple of other INU specific features are now enabled (google for more info on what csc enables what features).
2. Not sure why but Battery backup has increased significantly after the csc change to INU. SOT (Screen On Time) which has fallen to 3-4 hrs after the OTA update to One Ui 5.0 & Android 13 is now back to 5-7hrs or more.
3. RAM management has definitely got better. With EUX csc it used be around 5-6GB during standby and now its always around 3-4GB when the phone is idle.
4. Instead of 4G or 4G+, now it shows LTE and LTE+.
5. Mobile data speed has increased both in 5G (Jio True5G network) and in LTE+ when compared to EUX CSC.
6. 5G signal strength has improved drastically. Signal loss or switching to 4G+/LTE+ is very low now.
7. 5G to 4G/LTE switching while calls (VoLTE/VoNR) is more seamless now. Latching back onto 5G network after a call is a breeze now unlike earlier with EUX csc.
8. Phone definitely got faster for some reason. Can very much feel the difference when switching between apps, multi-tasking, even opening/closing apps and other day-to-day tasks.
etc...
Haven't tested whether the OTA updates will still get pushed after the change in CSC yet, as my phone is already updated to the latest patch as I write this. Should absolutely work IMO as long as we choose a CSC which the phone supports but in any case will update the thread once the next update via OTA is available/pushed by Samsung.
Disclaimer: Please be informed that all the above information is purely based on experience of using the tool for changing CSC only which worked well for me with my Fold 3. Cannot take responsibility if it doesn't work for you.
Does it work for Fold 4. Want to change CSC from Korean Region to INU (India). Please guide
Sorry, haven't tried it on Fold 4. Logically it shud work, I guess. There is no harm in connecting n checking what CSCs does ur model supports using the tool IMO.
Tried out but it does not work. It shows only the Korean csc. Even that seems to be not changing
Oh k. I think the tool works, else u wudnt b seeing the CSC which ur phone supports.
I have checked sources in the web as well on this and looks like Fold 3 or 4 with Korean CSC supports only CSC from Korea.
I guess u can still force a CSC on to it replacing the Korean one but thats too risky as u will b missing OTA updates and im not aure wat all things it will mess up.
Awesome! It works and it doesn't wipe the device. I just switched from G975U VZW to CCT without any issues.

Happy to hear that. BTW I also got samsung pay/wallet to work as well by installing its apk file today after changing the system language to a local one specific to the changed CSC i.e., English (India) for INU CSC in my case.
I confirm that it is working on a stock android 13! Great tool!
(It worked on the second try though )
Has anyone tired it on a Fold 4, Mine is XAA and I want to convert it to INU. Haven't been abe to do it as yet.
Let me know if someone finds a way, mine is a US version and I want to convert it to the India CSU.
Thanks in advance

Oh great. Getting otas after the change?
Does OTA work after change?
Hello, can somebody please briefly summerise the options for switching the CSC/Firmware?
I read other threads and this one and now am confused which method actually would work for me.
My situation: i have a Samsung A52s 5G purchased from Deutsche Telekom in Germany, sold separately, not bundled with a contract.
And i am having a contract with a different carrier on a different network, but a german SIM card.
My phone is configured all english, and i need to keep that.
Because of assumed network optimisations and the problem of delayed updates of "branded" phones, i would like to convert the phone from the current CSC of DTM to the DBT using fimrware (A528BXXS1DVL2/A528BOXM1DVK5/A528BXXU1DVK5/A528BXXS1DVL2), which i hope would link me to updates directly provided by Samsung.
I found "https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...official-firmware-all-samsung-device.2697238/" and "https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-multi-csc-codes.4436853/page-5#post-87485577 ", but i am not sure whther the methods described there only apply for UPDATING (within the same CSC) the phone with non-OTA methods, or whether that also covers SWITCHING the CSC?
In the end i have two questions:
1) So far i believed that "simply" putting an official stock Samsung firmware (multi CSC in my case, containing the DBT, but apparently NOT containing the DTM) would bring me there.
But then i read that this might not be suffficient. Instead i also would have to switch the CSC in my Phone's config, which apparently would require purchasing a license for a Samkey unlock code.
Because otherwise i would not receive any OTA updates once i switched just the firmware.
Is that actually true?
I would prefer not to have to buy a Samkey...
And to make the confusion even bigger: now i read, SamFw Tool would also be an option?
But: is that trustworthy? And: from posts of some of you: this might even obsolete to switch the firmware, do i understand that right?
2) If switching firmware still is required: would using Odin/Heimdall be the only option to switch the firmware, or would adb sideloading do the same job as well? I am asking because i don't have access to a windows machine.
Would be so great if someone of you could untangle my confusion a bit, thank you.

Did not automatically receive the OTA updates with the recent DVL9 update. However, tried a work around to change the CSC back to EUX via the same tool (which is a 2 min task) to check if I can get OTA again.
And yes it worked! immediately after changing the OTA to its home CSC, was able to see OTA in the updates section of the phone. So, I updated the phone to the latest version (DVL9) and then changed the CSC back to INU after the update . All is well and quick! .

May be TUR csc has restricted options/features. In my example after I changed to INU csc (India one) all the India related options got automatically activated like call recording, spam filter, samsung pay using cards etc etc. which weren't available with the EUX csc before the change.

Might be worth clearing cache and data from Google play services see if that helps. Having the same device with 2 different cscs might have confused Google
Edit
Any reason your Google play store is out of date or is it connected to your original issue
