Hello everyone, I just got my G960F/DS and it originally came with SIN CSC so being I am in Canada, I tried to load the UK firmware to try and get VoLTE and WiFi calling to work. I was able to on SIN CSC, to select BTU firmware from the phone app using the secret code, but stupid me didn't discover the one thread about to use XEU to get the WiFi calling option and now I am stuck on BTU CSC without the option to go to XEU. I read if you use ODIN to go on H3G and then use ODIN back to a OXM based ROM, that it will go by default to XEU, but for me it just kept the BTU CSC after the firmware was flashed.
Does anyone have any suggestions? As mentioned above, no secret codes on the phone app I read to access the CSC changer or the advanced phone info is currently working. I can't flash a custom ROM as I am on the 7 days wait so wondering if it would be best to wait the 7 days and just flash a custom TW ROM with the CSC I want?
Thanks.
You can't switch between XEU and BTU easily, if at all as they are MultiCSC and one contains the other, BTU contains XEU
Not sure why your phone would default to BTU if you were flashing XEU from a completely different CSC not included though unless your phone was originally BTU
Make sure you're using CSC and not HOME_CSC when you flash and remove the SIM for the flash
Flash back to SIN then to XEU using CSC in ODIN both times

Yeah the phone originally showed SIN as the product code for Singapore. When I got the phone, I did originally try flashing the G960FXXU1BRF8 BTU ROM with the CSC (not HOME_CSC) with ODIN, but after setting up the phone, the CSC stayed at SIN. The only way I was able to set it to BTU was using the phone secret code of '*#272*IMEI#*' which now being on BTU, that no longer works to switch to XEU. Is there any special steps I should be following to switch CSC's properly? I did the following so far to try and switch
- Flashed H3G BL, AP, CP, CSC using ODIN (kept default ODIN options with SIM card and SD Card removed)
- Let the ROM boot up and went back to Download mode to flash the OXM BL, AP, CP, CSC
- After the firmware was flashed in ODIN, booted into recovery mode to factory reset/wipe cache.
- Inserted SIM Card and SD Card and let the ROM boot which indicated BTU as active CSC and Product Code.
Hope these details help. Do you know if the SIN firmware is a non-OXM or is it part of the OXM-multi CSC?

Thanks for providing this. Do you know why when I flashed the H3G firmware which is a non-OXM CSC, why flashing to a OXM after, caused the Sales and Product Code to stay BTU? As described in my last post, I flashed the BL, AP, CP and CSC for H3G and it did boot, but I immediately shut off the phone and installed the OXM firmware after it did. Does my SIM Card have to be inserted during your steps? Lastly not sure if it's true but I read that whatever your product code is, the OXM CSC will apply that CSC during the first boot. So I have to find a way to change the Product Code without using the phone secret code since that no longer works on BTU firmware.
I usually do my research before doing anything like this to prevent issues and have installed custom ROMs, changed CSC since the S2 days, but this has me stumped.

If I had to guess, (if your phone is 2nd hand) then the original CSC was actually BTU and not SIN, SIN was flashed before it was sold
If that's not the case, then I'd guess that BTU always defaults from OXA Multi unless your CSC is included, which would mean you do not know your original CSC and SIN was still flashed before sale
Otherwise I have no idea, I haven't tried changing my CSC on the S9, I know with the S7 I had before this, the same problem occurred trying to switch between XEU and BTU, my S7 was XEU and refused to switch to BTU
SIM only needs to be removed for the initial flash and first boot from what I know, otherwise it can use the SIM to work out the original CSC

Yeah I kind of figured. Phone was brand new and the Samsung seal wasn't broken but when I did boot it up for the first time, I didn't get the setup screen. I know with my S5 my product code was switched and even when flashing Canada's CSC, with my SIM installed, it would default to a different CSC then what I needed. The only way to change it was using the Phone's Secret code. It's a shame that it's not easier to change the product code so that the proper CSC is applied.
Does anyone who has the BTU product code have the same issue with the secret code not working? I am on the same version of ROM that I was on before my CSC got changed to BTU so I know it's not the ROM version. Every guide I found regarding flashing CSC has been to get to BTU not to get to XEU so anyone who can shed light on this? In the meantime, I will wait the 7 days for OEM Unlock to appear.
So I got the OEM unlock last night after 154 hours uptime but it was 7 days since signed into Samsung account and I did try XEU and INS CSC but no voLTE. Was wondering if anyone on Rogers or any of the Canadian carriers have gotten voLTE or wifi calling to work? In the past I know INS CSC did have voLTE for the s7 when it was a S8 port but so far trying INS, SIN, BTU, or XEU CSC hasn't worked. I am happy with RR AOSP right now, but wanted any suggestions as there must be one CSC that works.

Hi Andrw0830,
Can you please advise how you did manage to change the CSC back as required to XEU? I also by mistake changed my CSC from STH to BTU via secret code and now the secret code is not working and I am stuck with BTU CSC. Does the OEM unlock has to do anything with it ? Appreciate your feedback ? Thanks

I waited the 7 days to enable OEM unlock. Then I installed TWRP and installed the devbase ROM which has the choice to change the CSC. You do have to copy the options.prop that's included in the ROMs zip to your SD card before flashing the ROM. Then open up the file and there is a line for CSC, change it from KCSC to XEU. Save the file and install the ROM which will install the CSC you chose and the first boot will have it enabled.

Thanks a lot for your quick response and guidance. I was looking at options where I do not have to necessarily flash a custom ROM and somehow change the CSC. Nonetheless, can you please advise further if the KNOX count/warranty is void after you performed this flashing and is there a way to reset these counters ? Thanks again.

Unfortunately, once you flash a custom recovery, the KNOX is tripped and there is no way to reset.
ok thanks for your feedback. I will go and check with Samsung Service center
Hello friends,
I'm from Brazil and I bought a LTE Galaxy Watch in Germany, exactly the same version (Sm-R805F) used in Brazil. However when I went to my mobile company to activate the e-sim it was not possible. When the system ask to read a QR code, in the mobile networks' activation process, a message of error appears ("It's not possible to conect this mobile"). Does anyone know why and how to fix it?
Can you check this Code...
Code:
*#1234#
Seems DIFFERENT Software crap exists... so different Profiles...
Code:
OXX
OXA
Check your CSC ...
OXA could be inside German Version... and OXX is maybe for Brazil...
Best Regards

Thank you very much!
I did it and the CSC is OXA (German version).
How can I change it to OXX?
PS: I did as they recomended here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/gear-s3/guide-how-to-change-gear-s3-r760-csc-t3784226 ) but theres no Brazilian code nor OXX.
OXX and OXA are """group"""
OXA contains minimum DBT CSC... for Germany
You can NOT change from OXA to OXX... because the config files not inside...
Your Link shows only way to change existing CSC inside flashed CSC file...
Example...
I have Firmware files... from OXX region...
Code:
CSC_[B]OXX[/B]_R805FOXX1BRI4_usr.tar.md5
You can unpack and extract with 7Zip... csc.img file.
Folder preconfig have 8 folderS with 7 CSC... DEF means Default IMHO...
Code:
BRI
TGY
VAU
XNZ
XSA
XSG
XSP
XSP is Singapore...
For the others I am tooo lazy... forgotten... use Google...
I have NO idea if it is an good idea to try to flash with netOdin such CSC files... or complete Firmware of OXX region.
Samsungs funny Security...
Best Regards
Edit 1.
I have tried to identify Brzil via Google search...
For me it looks no CSC inside for Brazil...
I have NO idea if SM-R805F is for Brazil market...
Edit 2.
Okidoki... Google search leads to this:
https://www.samsung.com/br/support/model/SM-R805FZSAZVV/
So looks like exists for Brazil... and you can see Sales Code ZVV it is in Product Code...
Code:
SM-R805FZSA[B]ZVV[/B]
IMHO 3 region groups... OXX OXA and ?
Firmware for Brazil seems not leaked... with ZVV inside...
Edit 3.
Firmware for SM-R805F for Brazil looks like this:
Code:
R805FXXU1CRK7/R805F[B]OWO[/B]1CRK7/R805FXXU1CRK7
So OWO is Region Code... for Brazil...
IMHO OWO package have ZVV Sales Code/CSC inside... for Brazil.
Edit 4.
My fault...
Code:
R805FXXU1DSC7_Tizen_4File_Multi CSC ([B]OWO[/B]).rar
Leaked and available...
But still no idea if this helps you... because dangerous to flash... Sams..g Security could prevent success...

Hi,
Can you list the available CSC's within the OWO version ?

I've been reading the post, but I'm a little lost. I do not know what to do. I have a R815 Vodafone Germany version, and I want to activate it for movistar Spain, but I receive the error "It's not possible to conect this mobile". The data of my watch are the following:
AP: R815FXXU1ARH5
CP: R815FXXU1ARH5
CSC: R815FOXA1ARH5
With the SDB utility I have accessed a hidden menu on the watch and I changed the original CSC VD2 to XEC, or at least I thought so ... I think VD2 is Vodafone Germany, and XEC is Movistar Spain (the company that I have on my mobile phone). Samsung Pay works, but LTE is impossible to configure ("It's not possible to conect this mobile")
It is possible to get a different firmware and flash it?... or how can I get to configure an esim (lte) from movistar españa?

Hey guys, I was reading this post and I have a problem a little different of you.
I bought a Galaxy Watch from The USA, LTE version (R805U) but I live in Brazil, I went to the phone company (VIVO) to try able the LTE (eSim) function but they said to me that it is impossible because only the R805F works here. My question is. Can I change the firmeware from 805U to 805F and it will works LTE here ?

Is not to you to do'it...
You need to call the operatório, in this case, Movistar and subscribe for the service and they activate the eSim...

Hi had same problem
Hello mate
I bought Samsung Galaxy watch when I was on holidays in Greece as in UK the LTE version was only with contract on EE. As I'm using Vodafone UK, I got the Qr Code for the esim but Samsung neither Vodafone could help me to make it work. Finally I make It work but my self, because my Samsung Galaxy watch is from Greek region I try to activate my Vodafone uk esim with a Greek sim network in my mobile device and it's worked perfectly, even when I put back my Vodafone uk sin on my mobile.
Hope that helps you.

Hi, could you elaborate on how you did that? I want to buy the silver LTE version from Hong Kong because that colour is not sold in Singapore, and it would be great if I could get the LTE working.

Hi, I have bought an S21 FE G990B Unlocked. From what I can see, now countries don't have their own unlocked firmware rather there is only one, EUX (or/and EUY?)
When I dial *#272*62826#, the CSC menu comes up but with an issue, I have only Vodafone CSCs.
Question: Is there a way to change Vodafone CSCs to all CSCs without using samkey?
Thanks.
