Hello, I currently have an SM-N976N.
I bought refurbished and live in Ireland.
I am looking for a compatible firmware that's not Korean but not having much luck. I can't flash anything in Odin except n976n firmware, and even that didn't seem to get rid of the sky telecom provider bloatware and branding.
I can provide CSC etc if anyone thinks they can help! Looking for something like a global or UK Ireland Unlocked like the B...
tried to flag KOO firmware...I used CSC as opposed to home Csc but I also used userdata file in Odin as well.
The sk splash screen and bloatware is still present.. There was a warning or info message on phone after I flashed, and then it rebooted again. I couldn't read it as it was in Korean.
Also, if there's no way to change to a euro firmware, is there any way to change bootloader/recovery/download language?

Hello, try this firmware, you can convert your N976N to N976B, none of the files are tested by me, let me know if you had any luck successfully flashing your phone.

Thanks, are these official firmwares?

Hi,
c
You have to use the same model to flash in Odin. 976B is not 976N.
You can flash the KOO firmware for 976N which is the unbranded version (I bought it myself at a Samsung shop in Seoul).
I tried to flash with 976B and got errors. I flashed with KOO 976N but srill i have brand of KT when i start the phone also some settings of KT.
No idea why KT still stays after flashing

Right, because 976B is not the phone you have. You can't use a different model firmware.
Sounds like you need to change the CSC to KOO after boot up.
I used CSC for KOO byr still no lick
Let me know which CSC maybe i am doing something wrong

You said you flashed KOO firmware. That is not the same thing as switching CSC after booting up.
There is a phone menu to change the CSC. You need to do this, which will change the CSC setting on the EFS partition which is what you need to do.
Woow thank you for that. Now this is new and i didn't know it. Can you help me and let me know where to change CSC.
Thanks

The SM-N976N has 4 CSC options built-in. KOO is the unbranded Samsung code. There are 3 for the 3 major carriers in Korea: SK Telecom, kt Olleh, and LG U+
No I did not change my CSC because I bought my phone in a Samsung store in Seoul.
I have KT one , when i switch one says 5G and under screen KT.
also in setting. I am trying to find the way to change the CSC from KTC to KOO
Active KTC
Edit
Ohhh no way that bad
For me only Samsung pay ,5G, start up the phone, phone can't recognize my number rather than that everything else is perfect.
I am trying to find way to change CSC to KOO, hopefully will work

Do you mean your N10+ doesn't connect to the 5G network even if it's present and working in your zone?
Yes i don't see 5G at all even covered in my country. Always LTE+
Weird.. where are you from?
Our model is 5G, I suppose SM-976B only is suitable for 5G networks over asian countries, hope someone could tell me I'm wrong...

I don't know the specs of the B variant, but my N variant 5g worked in Korea just fine. Haven't been able to test it in the USA yet because T-Mobile doesn't have any 5g towers in my state yet.
In my country, UAE according to bands only N976N working since the are on same 5G band.
N976B isn't working with UAE network (5G). I bought and sold N976B.
Also now N976N is not working coz of carrier, KT from Korea.
I live in Canada and have a N975W and want to flash the star wars U1 firmware, but before I do I wanna know what happens when you put a Canadian Carrier sim in?!? Will the U1 CSC have Canadian Carrier info preset? Will I have to manually modify to get things like MMS to work? Or does the U1 firmware have Canadian stuff preloaded that gets triggered with the Sim card?
Thanks
Nobody?
Exynos

The American CSC does not contain information for Canadian carriers. After you flash the American U1 firmware, flash the Canadian CSC. There is only one CSC for Canada, and it contains information for all the Canadian carriers (Bell, Rogers, Telus, etc.). After flashing the Canadian CSC, when you insert a SIM from a Canadian carrier it applies the settings for your carrier's VoLTE, wi-fi calling, APN, etc.
If you flash Canadian CSC after flashing full U1 firmware will it not effect the U1 firmware? The CSC file is so large I'm wondering how it will effect the U1 firmware. Anyone do this yet? Do I need to use modified Odin?
Have you done this? Does flashing a different CSC effect the firmware?
---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------
I would appreciate any input from someone who has tried this please. I really want to flash the star wars Android 10 for U1 on my 975W but am afraid that CSC will be different and not sure If flashing CSC from a different firmware will work as the file is so big.
if it doesnt work, you just flash back to stock firmware and csc.
just make sure its for the same processor.
OK, so, I flashed first Star Wars Android 9 version of U1 firmware to test and it works perfectly. Booted up with Canadian carrier sim and it loaded all APN settings. Everything works perfectly.
Flashed Android 10 version of Star Wars U1 firmware and its all good.
So you can load U1 firmware on N975W unlocked version. Same hardware and works in both countries. Do not even need Canadian CSC.
Do not load the HOME CSC file. It will wipe everything but its worth it. Firmware is solid and beautiful.
By flashing unlocked firmware, did you get rid of any carrier bloatware?
Can I ask you guys an info? I own N975u1, on first boot It haven't Greek language and I choose it later at setting. Does N975w on first boot has Greek language? So I install N975w firmware to solve my problem?(some settings remains in English).
975W is Canadian model and i have it on my note 10+ with carrier esk or eastlink if you wish to know what carrier esk stands for. If you are trying to get your phone to show Greek language I do not believe the 975w firmware would be a good choice. It lets you select which country you are from when you start up a freshly formatted phone but I have never selected any language other than Canada which is English. Just thought I would let you know that my model is also a Snapdragon chipset and I don't know if you can Flash another firmware unless you unlock Bootloader and I do not know if that is possible currently on a Snapdragon chipset Note 10.

The only phones with an unlockable bootloader are the N9750 (chineese variant) and Exynos models.
Can you please be more specific with what you are looking for within regards to firmware. Other then the information/answers posted in the first page of this thread I saw this thread, but depending on what your looking for specifically the post may not be of any help.
Also be aware that if you want to retain full compatibility with Virgin then you shouldn't go messing around with the firmware. Flashing other firmware (especially for US models) can result in things not working the way they would normally.

OK, so only the exynos version of my phone is oem unlockable? I am just trying to be able to root my phone, i figured if I could flash an oem unlocked firmware while keeping my carrier then I would be able to do so.

Only firmware for OEM UNLOCK switch in developer menu is exynos models. I found other sites on the net stating SM-N975W Snapdragon can be bootloader unlocked but i tried them all and none worked. DO NOT flash exynos firmware on Snapdragon model as you may ruin your phone or void warranty. Luckily mine still shows official and knox counter didn't get tripped. Sorry, wish I had better news 4 ya.

I've tried to debrand my phone by flashing open market firmware (XEO, Poland). I downloaded the newest version of Odin, flashed it but now my CSC under settings says OPV/OPV, OPV/EUX/OPV. OPV is my carrier's CSC, I'm wondering what that EUX is. I've looked it up on Google and it seems like I'm not alone, seems like Samsung changed something and older methods no longer work. The question is - will I still receive updates released for my carrier or I'm screwed for good? Phone INFO app says my active CSC is OPV. I'm running S20+ 5G (G986B) Exynos variant.
Same problem here, I've flashed it with XEO POLAND G986BXXU1ATBM firmware using Odin3 v3.14.1_3B_PatcheD, few minutes later it showed "PASS" and nothing changed. Same branded firmware after reboot..
It seems, that many more 'branded' CSCs are now part of Multi-CSC. For me, this is DTM (T-Mobile DE). It osed to not be part of multi-CSC but it is now part of OXM.
This means, that you can not force it anymore, as you already ARE having the exact same firmware with the 'branded' CSC. Just checked, OPV is in deed part of OXM now.
In the Ultra Section is a thread showing the CSCs belonging to OXM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...galaxy-s20-ultra-g988b-firmwares-5g-t4060443/
I have not yet found out / gotten an answer from anybody how to change CSC. Samkey also is not supporting the S20 series ATM - dont know, if this will change.

What I have worked out is that when you flash a multi-CSC firmware file you end running the CSC one letter earlier in the alphabet out of the. Available multi-CSC list
E.g. I had a VOD branded S105G and flashed BTU firmware, and ended up with TEL CSC
I also tried flashing BTU on an H3G branded A70 and ended up with EVF CSC
The original branded product CSC also never changes

Enable Developer mode and set OEM Unlock to ON before trying to change CSC via ODIN Flash
This should not be necessary? Doesn't that trip Knox, despite original Samsung Firmware?

Since now it's part of Multi CSC, does that mean I will receive updates faster? I can see other polish carrier's CSC are listed as single so I assume they are kind of separate firmware, am I right?
Honestly I do not know, if the respective CSC will be getting OTAs at the same time.
However, you can always flash manually with HOME_CSC, that is true.

Enable OEM unlock does not trip Knox. As long as you flash official Samsung firmware files in Odin Knox is never tripped
My own personal experience on S10 and above is you cannot flash a different CSC with OEM Unlock disabled
(Flash completes successfully but CSC doesn't change)
When changing from one e.g. branded csc to multi csc with the S10+, this worked fine without enabling oem unlock. Well, anyway. Flashing OXM multi CSC over OXM multi CSC will not change anything, right?

I found that you have to be on a single CSC before flash to multi-CSC and also you don't always end up on the CSC you expected
e.g. Flash BTU on a VOD product and you end up on TEL CSC (one letter in alphabet below VOD) and not on BTU

Hi All,
I have a Samsung Z fold 4 ‐ SM-F936N model (Korea version). I want to use it in India. Can I flash BL, AP and CP from SM-F936N firmware and CSC and Home CSC from SM-F936B (india compatible version)'s firmware (CSC as OXM, and Home CSC as INS)?
Want to do this primarily for Samsung Pay and removing Korean telecom files which came installed by default.
Also, assuming it is possible, will it impact OTA update?

I successfully flashed my fold4 from US Verizon to US AT&T but video call doesn't work. Flashing from completely different region models might be more problematic.
Hello. I just got a Korean Z Fold 4 and now I was wondering if I could safely change the firmware to the Indian firmware. Any guidance for the same would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
Model Number- SM-F936N
What are the benefits of doing this?
The only reason why I wanted to do it because I could not use certain apps and certain pre-loaded SKT mobile apps were installed which I could not delete.

Have you tried changing your csc to KOO which is unbranded using the samfw tool? https://samfw.com/blog/samfw-frp-tool-1-0-remove-samsung-frp-one-click
Not sure if you can try and change it to an Indian CSC of your choice. But you can try changing your csc first to KOO first which will remove those bloat and restrictions a carrier csc has.
