Hey Guys,
Just wanted to check whether any working methods are around to change the CSC of a Note 10+
Couldn't find any guides apart from the ones which are in Note 9 Sections.
Any support on this is much appreciated!

Im also looking for a solution for this. SamKey's paid service is apparently supporting this but im unsure of the method their software uses and its a paid service. Users in Australia (like me) are having issues with RCS services through Telstra (TEL) because the Open Variant bought direct from Samsung not having the correct CSC. Some users have reported changing the CSC through SamKey successfully.
I have tried flashing with Telstra firmware but no luck.

I initially did *#272*IMEI# and was able to switch between CSC. When I switched to XAA, I was stuck and could not able to use the *#272*IMEI# anymore.. So I had XAA/XAA/ATT.. I saw many were stuck.
Found a solution that worked for me is as follows. Try at your own risk.
Downloaded the tool from
https://www.mysterious-dev.com/2020/05/changecsc-all-samsung-free-tool-android.html
and downloaded the ChangeCSC Software tool.. . watched the video couple of times.. The process lets you install custom THEME.. I was getting "Update" "Delete" and "Buy" ..
What did was
install another random theme
then went back to the program and clicked change CSC again
this time when I choose the custom theme pack, I saw the "Try now".. after that I followed the instruction to about phone->legal and clicked on CHANGE Carrier Android 10 and VOILA!!! I got that CSC change page.. I saw XAA was selected and I changed to TMB... after that "Sales& Network Code Change" and clicked ok.. .The phone restarted and saw the T-Mobile logo!!!!
I even tried the *#272*IMEI# and this time it worked and showed me the CSC screen!!!
Hope this helps anyone who is stuck...My phone now says TMB/TMB/ATT!!!

Hello,
Prior to doing the process. I used smartswitch and backed up my phone completely.. I also did factory reset the phone.. *** Since I was going to use a new method/tool, I was not sure so wanted to make sure it does not interfere with any existing account/app on the phone. Once I was able to get to the CSC screen and changed to TMB, I went back again to make sure do a factory wipe and start complete fresh out. Hope this helps. Good luck!

The Mysterious Dev tool that you mentioned, when the tool was changing the CSC, did the tool factory reset your phone and wipe it?

hmm.. don't recall if it wiped.. I already had T-Mobile sim inside.. so when I saw the CSC selection page and as soon I choose TMB it restarted and came with T-Mobile splash Page, at that point I know it worked, so before even finishing up the boot process, I rebooted in recovery and did the factory reset

I had to do the CSC changing today and it simply rebooted and displayed the new CSC logo. It was with AT&T and when I change it to TMB. I get the T-Mobile boot logo.. I was able to get back in to the device without loosing any data.. The CSC showed TMB/TMB/TMB.. But I noticed the ringer/notifications sound still remained the AT&T settings. So to answer your initial question, my phone didn't get wiped out when switching the CSC.
Thx

- disable find my phone
- sign out of Google and samsung accounts
- developer mode .... enable oem unlock
- flash a single CSC stock firmware in odin (do not use home-csc)
- phone will be completely wjped but after first boot and running setup, CSC will be change to match new firmware
Have any one tried

flash the CSC not the HOME_CSC. The CSC file will factory reset it and remove any remnants of the previous carrier info including bootanimation, splash screen etc etc

I know, and I did, and still shows KTC bloat including logo. I saw other people posting about the problem in other samsung device forums but didn't find an explanation. I wish there was a unified forum for these general samsung issues, so that they'll get the largest amount of attention possible.

lel, I've been trying to flash an international firmware for 6 months now without success, it's always some damn PIT error, tried everything Patched Odin, with PIT file, without PIT file, with NAND erase, without NAND erase, EVERYTHING, and none of it works, and no one on the internet confirmed that flashing an international G960F firmware on a Korean G960N device actually succeeds. just check my post history to see all the posts I made about the issue.

doesnt surprise me that the F firmware worked on a N device at all. Both are Exynos chipsets, so there isnt really a reason for it to not work. 6 months you say? @AthieN have any ideas?

Either the firmware being flashed is mislabeled, or it's not truly flashing. I've seen where Odin says it was successful, but not really... That could be a whole different set of reasons why it's not working though.
My suggestion is re-download the firmware, from a trusted source and try again.

often times the phone is being told what carrier youre on by the sim card, then if the phone has that carriers CSC in its internal database (in the case of multi-CSC firmware sets) the phone will recognize the carrier and then install the carrier specific crap. I use the U1 firmware and dont have any of the carrier junk that it originally came with. I got it on a Cricket offer and very quickly got rid of all the Cricket junk by flashing the U1 firmware
I successfully changed CSC to KOO on my G960N after it was SKT to do that i had to
- root the device
- install phone info app
- use the tool to change csc
You will have a choice of 4 CSCs choose KOO and install
PS : backup data as it will be erased

Thanks again for this help bro , i already forgot about the csc code changing , only thing who were annoying to me were the SKC blootware and bootanimation
i succefully uninstalled the blootware after rooting and using root uninstaller pro , then about the bootanimation i couldn't find any way to change (even by changing files into system/media/ ) , so i just left it
but good thing you gave us the steps , maybe it will help one guy who is willing to change his CSC code

Do a backup with twrp when you change csc it will erase data and you will loose magisk all you have to do is go back to recovery and restore the backup ( backup only data )
Twrpcan always be installed with odin with or without magisk

Hello everyone. So I have a S20 Ultra SM-G988N. Its a Korean variant with a Snapdragon Chipset. It has the option OEM unlock and all so the device is rooted. I also was able to change my CSC without doing a data wipe...
What I did was go into the root of the phone into /ets/imei/mps_code.dat. I opened that file with text editor. For me it came up empty so I added the text "KOO" with a different text editor because the one provided by my Root Explorer wasn't letting me edit it. Once I added that in I restarted my phone. My phone started up, had the regular Samsung Logo. But if course some of the blostware is there.
My big issue is the phone connects to Korean things as in some apps will say my Region is Korean. For example my Weather widget (Samsung App) would only let me pick location by state, or country. I can't choose the town I live in nor does the app knows my correct location. It would say I'm in Bethpage Korea.
So my question is because the SM-G988N has a Snapdragon Chipset, would I be able to Flash an U1 Variant Home CSC Using Odin? This way I have multiple CSCs which I can then use to debloat and get the phone to be like US Version.

I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO YOU DEVICE!
THIS IS THE PATH I TOOK.
I'll pass on to you what I did. I flashed over SPR unlocked.
1. Download frija, you can Google this. It's a neat tool to quickly download firmware.
Type in the model number of your phone, and add a 1 at the end... Example... I own the N975U, from Sprint. Add the 1 at the end for unlocked... N975U1. And in the CSC slot, type XAA.
XAA is unlocked CSC code for US.
Firmware should show last digits BSLD for January security patch and Android 10.
Unzip the downloaded firmware somewhere close. I did mine on the desktop.
2. Download Samsung Drivers and install.
3. Download Odin V3 V 3.13.1_3B Patched.
Add the files into Odin.
On the CSC, do NOT use Home CSC. Use the regular.
You absolutely have to factory reset your device when switching to Unlocked or vice versa. So you might want to backup using Samsung smart switch or Google. Which ever you prefer.
Do not add any user data when switching from carrier to unlocked.
4. Place phone into Download mode BEFOR plugging into computer.
5. At this point... Phone should be in download mode. 4 files should be added into Odin. No other changes in Odin should be made. And CSC should be regular and not Home CSC.
6. Plug phone into computer and see if you see the device in Odin.
If you see it, great. Proceed to flash.
Odin likes to verify for awhile so don't mind this. Leave it be. If it gets stuck more than 10 minutes saying verifying, you may need to Google the issue.
Once Odin says passed... You should be good to go.
Phone will reboot, phone will factory reset.
At this point, you should be done.
I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO YOU DEVICE!
THIS IS THE PATH I TOOK.
You mention the CSC should be XAA, when it comes to ODIN you mention regular?
Can you clarify that part?

It's two different things that's being referred too. When you download the firmware there isn't just one and they are identified by CSC. TMB is for T-Mobile, CHA is Spectrum Mobile, SPR is Sprint.. to name a few.
In your particular case when you download the unlocked firmware you would search for the CSC "XAA" (without quotes) as this is the firmware from the unlocked note 10+
Second when you flash the firmware you need to place different files into the appropriate and applicable locations within Odin. One of those spots you place a file into is called "CSC".
Also no you don't need to backup anything if you don't have anything installed (or no userdata on it).
If you have further questions I would suggest you search this forum and/or Google. The question on flashing the N975U1 firmware onto the N975U has been asked before and covered in detail already more then once... So those other threads will be of help for you.
Hello,
So I am in France and it seems I won't get Android 10 update until March.
I have seen a lot of contradictory information regarding flashing firmware with different CSC, changing CSC...etc.
SO, is there a way to update to android 10 if I have the Multi CSC ROM, currently set to XEF?
Hi ondris,
You can use SamFirm tool, try to find it on xda, probably you're familiar with it. I've updated my phone, bought originally in Sweden, and I'm using it in Serbia with SEE CSC, you can use also BTU, phone will automatically detect network operator, and you are good to go. Flash it via Odin, steps are also on xda, and what I can tell you as an advice is that when you use Odin and flash CSC, you have CSC and Home CSC file. Regular CSC delete all the data from the phone, and Home CSC will save everything you installed and kept in you phone. I hope this helps you.
Thank you for the tips.
But the thing is i don't want the rom to change the csc by itslef.
I want to either change my crurent csc to one that has been updated to android 10 or flash an android 10 firmware with csc different of mine.
Can I flash SM-G960U US unlocked firmware on my SM-G960W device to get android 10?
Hello,
Is there a way to remove the carrier branding from Galaxy Fold3? I mean the boot animation and stock wallpaper.
I downloaded the EUX version of the firmware (which is the European Union version) and flashed it via Odin. I booted the phone without the SIM card... but it still recognized my carrier. I was greeted by the familiar boot animation and familiar wallpaper.
Is there a way to have a clean Samsung experience without rooting the phone?
Best regards,
BlackDragon
you need change CSC first , use SamKey https://www.samkey.org/ to change it, then make OTA update or flash it by odin

Thank you. I appreciate the reply.
It's quite expensive... I will test it once my Fold3 comes back from RMA.
