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!

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

I have found *some* Samsung models can still change CSC via firmware flash in Odin by following these pre requisites...
- 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.

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.
i'm having the same issue as the first post , i have a s10e sm-g970n and it's on sk telecom carrier sh*** , it doesn't want to dissapear even by using the KOO firmware (G970NKSU3BSKO) it's driving me crazy ! this was already in KOO firmware before i tried the custom recovery and custom rom and all , now i just want to go STOCK and this isn't willing to install a stock version without sk telesh*** without bloot ... anyone can help me ?

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.

For those who aren't already aware, F926U is the model number of all of the US carrier versions of the Z Fold3. The F926U1 is the model number of the same device, but sold by Samsung SIM unlocked and with no carrier bloatware. Firmware is 100% interchangeable among these models: any U or U1 firmware version can be flashed to any U or U1 device at any time, assuming that you're not trying to downgrade the bootloader. A "U to U" or "U1 to U1" flash does not require a factory reset, but changing from one firmware to the other will require one. Also, U firmware is identical for the 4 base files (AP, BL, CP, CSC) for each individual build, no matter which carrier it comes from. So if you download 2 different carrier versions of the exact same build, the 4 base files will be identical. Where the firmware differs is in the USERDATA file - that's where the carrier bloatware and customizations reside.
Manual Odin flashing is designed for those who:
- want to manually update to a newer version of U firmware on their U device, either because they don't want to wait for their carrier's OTA or because OTAs aren't working on their device, or a different carrier got a new feature/patch before they did
- want to flash U1 firmware to their U device
- want to convert from U1 firmware to carrier U firmware
- want to convert from one carrier's U firmware (with all apps and bloatware) to a different carrier's U firmware (with all apps and bloatware)
For those who aren't already aware, anyone can now download firmware for almost any Samsung device any time that they want, via the various firmware download tools posted here on XDA like SamFirm or Frija. There are threads and info about them here on XDA so I won't waste time explaining - do a search if you're not already familiar with these tools. But they only provide whatever the latest/newest/current version is - nothing older. I have access to an internal Samsung firmware download tool that usually gets new versions before they hit the public firmware download tools, so that's where my files come from.
This is not a "beginner's guide to Odin flashing" -type post/thread, so I won't list basic, step-by-step flashing instructions. My threads are geared towards those who already know what they're doing. If you're new to manually flashing Samsung firmware (or haven't done it in a long time), I recommend you consult one of those "beginner's" guides- there are tons of them here on XDA.
Happy flashing!
U firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=327754
U1 firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=327755
Notes:
- DON'T QUOTE THE OP WHEN YOU REPLY, kthx
- I have lots of threads just like this one for other Samsung flagships, if it interests you. For those who have already made use of my previous threads for a different device and are upgrading, welcome back
- My zips are compressed extra small for space and bandwidth savings. The default Windows extractor can't handle it, so you'll need a 3rd party tool like 7zip, WinRAR, etc
- it's quite time consuming to download the files, zip them up, and upload them to AFH. And, I do threads like this for every single flagship model, so I won't be uploading every single version. The only full builds that I upload are ones where I get access to a new bootloader and/or Android version early, before they hit the firmware download tools.
- My naming method for folders on AFH is: build - bootloader - Android version
So "SAT - 1 - 9.0" means the full build number ends in SAT, it's bootloader version 1, and it's Android 9.0. When bootloader and Android versions increment, the first build to have those changes will have its folder notated appropriately.
- HOME CSC file keeps data intact; using the other CSC will wipe data. Flashing USERDATA will also wipe data.
- Since AT&T doesn't allow their firmware to be publicly available (for any of their devices), I'll try to always upload at least one USERDATA per bootloader increment for AT&T (and Cricket, if they get this model). I'll also upload any full builds if AT&T is the only carrier to get that specific build, because you won't be able to find the files anywhere else.
- For identifying USERDATAS, and to know what region/CSC to use in the firmware download tools if you're downloading yourself:
AIO = Cricket (not available via firmware download tools)
ATT = AT&T (not available via firmware download tools)
BST = Boost Mobile
CCT = Xfinity Mobile (Comcast)
CHA = Spectrum Mobile (Charter)
DSH = Dish Network
TMB = T-Mobile
TMK = Metro PCS
USC = US Cellular
VZW = Verizon (available via firmware download tools, but Manual Entry is required - Auto will not work)
XAA = U1 firmware
Is there a T-Mobile version available yet?

If you want T-Mobile bloatware, you need to insert a T-Mobile SIM so that the CSC changes to TMB. And then you need to flash a U firmware with T-Mobile USERDATA

My goal is to make my unlocked fold3 more usable on ATT/firstnet. There are multiple features I cannot use and I don't receive same call quality service as my wife's locked att fold3.

You will not lose the cameras as you are flashing firmware not unlocking the bootloader.

Hey all,
- I have a Galaxy A52s 5G (SM-A528B) on which I want to switch the CSC from NEE to XEO.
- Bootloader locked, Knox not tripped, SIM not locked, never rooted - it's brand new, basically.
- It's currently on Android 11, A528BXXS1AUL3, CSC NEE (Nordic Countries, unbranded, multi-CSC)
- *#272*IMEI# does not work, neither does *#*#27262826#*#* in Google Phone and other codes people suggested.
- I want to switch it to CSC XEO (Poland, unbranded, multi-CSC) with Android 12 (downloaded A528BXXU1BUL7 with Frija)
- CSC file name in the firmware package is: CSC_OXM_A528BOXM1BUL7_SCL23159600_VCL23158112_MCL23356846_SQB47563957_VQB47558030_MQB47563919_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
- Can I just flash the downloaded firmware with Odin to set the CSC to XEO, or do I have to use SamKey or Chimera to do so?

If you are sure that you typed correctly the first IMEI number, at least the code worked to can see the list of available CSCs to know if that CSC you are referring is compatible with your device? Knowing that, you can safely switch to that CSC.
Sometimes the list of CSC available can be displayed in the stock recovery screen, or might be that your device can accept multi-CSC.
Also, you can extract the CSC file from your desired firmware, then compress it in tar format and flash it in the CSC slot (this will format your device).
I didn't try this myself in case you can take a look on this, for me worked the code method on other Samsung device https://samsungfirmware.net/change-csc-samsung-galaxy-phones/
I would personally just flash a complete firmware package with the desired CSC downloaded from Frija. I don't really like to have my system on one CSC code whilst the CSC itself has another code.
Have a thorough look online though before trying anything.

The dialer does not react to these codes at all - I'm sure the IMEI was correct (both copy-pasted and typed it manually to be sure). The current CSC is OXM NEE, so appears to be multi-CSC.

Yes, the OXM has multi-CSC support, you can flash onto the CSC slot the CSC file from your convenient firmware, anyway, you can also flash the entire firmware, if Odin allows it or use a modded Odin in case that it doesn't.
I did install XID (Indonesia) FW a few days ago to get a working call recorder and it worked.
Now my problem is I can't go back to my original CSC. I can download and flash the XTC version but the phone automatically detects and activates XXV which is the Vietnam version.
Now, I still have call recording but there are features that I'm missing like RCS and Caller ID.
i just tried to flash a BTU rom on a Galaxy A52s running the Romanian ROM/EUX rom.
i done this through ODIN and it changed nothing on my phone after the flash. the phone is still showing ROM in the Service provider software version.
how can i change this phone over to BTU? samsung pay doesn't work on ROM version.

Just to clarify, you can't flash a different ROM to bypass a carrier contract, when the contract is still running.
If this is not the case, to switch completely to a different firmware, you'd need to flash the CSC different from the CSC_HOME, within the other files, through Odin, and after that, reboot to stock recovery and do a complete wipe/factory/format.
Some Samsung models allow using hidden/MMI codes to switch to a different CSC (in case you just need only provisioning for a specific area)

First, I recommend investigating which CSCs are allowed (or compatible) with your specific model, sometimes this info is displayed in the recovery screen.
After that you simply have to flash the desired compatible ROM keeping these two steps mentioned; in the CSC box apply the CSC different from the CSC_HOME and then, in recovery stock, wipe everything.
The CSC different from CSC_HOME wipes the APNs and preferences related to code areas, while the other set the news to be used.
It's easy like that, sometimes you should need a patched Odin to apply without issues.

What do you mean by
"in the CSC box apply the CSC different from the CSC_HOME"
i have to CSC files;

i have used the first file (without HOME in the name). do i need to reset in recovery after flashing this?
also, i didnt find any compatible CSC in the recovery screen, where are they meant to show?

Yes, this is the file you may use. Wiping is recommendable.

Samsung Phone app was good for that, actually is a paid app, probably there’s one app available now that does similar things.
There are some "universal" (or almost) CSC, i.e. OXM, but basically, most of the time, you can switch to another for same region/continent. In some devices this info is displayed in download mode though.

Probably in some moment was a carrier branded, logo displaying to the boot, can show/reveal you something like that, or a clean Samsung logo could be most likely a "really" freed up/non-carrier branded.
Anyway, consider that, even flashing a non-compatible CSC (no matter if it is a complete firmware) won't work.
You have to find out, one that it is compatible, by the normal means.
Unlocking bootloader and rooting it, could give you extra chances, though.

I'm not looking to unlock bootloader and root it, want to avoid that.
I'll might try Samkey to change the csc to BTU

If the device has a logo from a carrier, this means that the device is or was attached to a carrier, so in case, it is still under contract, the device needs to be free up, but if not, then you can get rid of it, by flashing a different firmware.
Arobase40 said:
Whatever the carrier but do you know any carrier using an apple logo with an Android phone ??? ^^
If so it would get into trouble with Apple company... unless the apple word has a different meaning in the original post which I doubt...
That's why I was asking if it was a joke.

This is a different approach, I, intentionally avoided, to mention that part. Probably you can find an Apple logo in some obscure Chinese device or who knows, but OP refered to as a Samsung device, so my theory in this part, is that probably the device was rooted previously, IDK.
Just to clarify you are assuming a total different thing, I never thought that the device is under a carrier contract given the fact that it has an apple as logo (IDK if it has an Apple logo, that it is not the same) or not, and even, probably it's a misconception from the OP, and it is a bootanimation and not a bootlogo, and even more, if you pay attention, OP IS saying "can i remove apple and carrier logo from my samsung a52s?" that means that he/she is referring as two different things, OP is mentioning two things and not that the apple logo is the operator or vendor logo, and again, even more, OP is just saying to remove apple? (not Apple) and.....
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.
