So I got a refurbed phone that apparently originated in Korea (n976n)
I tried flashing the OEM KOO CSC firmware as opposed to the branded firmware (i.e. sktelecom) but after successful Odin flash, the sk telecom splash showed, and the bloatware and custom UI remain.... What is going on here?
Is there any way to get unlocked, no carrier influenced SM-N976N firmware?

I have a Samsung S9 which is Vodafone carrier. I tried to flash XSA firmware but it still have the Vodafone apps.
Could some assist me in how to successfully removed the Vodafone apps without root.
I'm using the lastest Odin and flashing the lastest XSA firmware but still no luck. Even tried factory reset before and after flashing the firmware. I've also tried flashing Telstra firmware and it still holds the Vodafone apps.
anyone? am i doing something wrong?

I had to change my CSC code from VAU to TEL while on combination firmware then flash TEl firmware
Hello to everybody,
I have a Galaxy S9, model SM-G960N and finally the Korean Update to Android 10 arrived, downloaded it from SamMobile (The unbranded version KOO) Flashed it without problems and the phone works as intended. Only it doesn't have KOO as CSC, it has SKC, which has bloatware and it isn't the one I flashed. What gives? Why does it do that, are there any workarounds? Here's what I've tried until now:
Downloaded, and flash numerous times, no result, I don't live in Korea, I don't have a Korean SIM, phone still reports SKC.
Flashing with or without sim card inserted gives the same result.
Can't flash any other CSC, other than Korean ones, Odin spits out an error and it does not even start the flashing process.
Mix and matching different CSC with different firmware's obviously not successful.
Any idea if something can be done about this?
Thank you in advance.
You need to root it and change CSC with phone info app to KOO

I guess that's the only remaining way, but do you know why it picks SKC instead of KOO, even if the firmware that I'm downloading is KOO.
Korean CSC is a multiCSC even if you download KOO firmware you phone will use SKC that's included in the CSC so there is no different korean csc there's only one that includes the 4 csc codes
i have rooted device but i need multilanguage. ho i can debrand or add orginal languages?

Hello,
I recently purchased a note 10+ unlocked version from the states and live in Canada. I've updated the phone and everything, but the samsung pay app does not look like the Canada one and when I try to add a card, it asks for a zip code. I've tried uninstalling the app, clearing the cache, etc and re-downloading it; but to no avail. Can I try factory data reset with the Canadian Sim in? Under software information, it shows XAA which upon my research, indicates that it is USA unbranded firmware.
Is there some Canadian firmware I have to install? Where can I find it? Thank you.

You will have to flash the SM-N975W firmware which is the variant that's sold by Samsung in Canada.
You'll want the XAC CSC which is for Canadian unbranded, similar to XAA for USA.
The firmware can be downloaded through SamFirm or Frija and should be flashed with the patched version of Odin 3.13.1 to allow cross-flashing from N975U1 to N975W.

After you install the XAC firmware, remove your Canadian SIM card, restart the device once and then do a factory reset to confirm that it has been switched to XAC. After that you will be able to install the Canadian variant of Samsung Pay, as well as use other carrier features like VoLTE and WiFi calling if available.

Thank you. I replied in the other thread.
I bought a used S20 (SM-G981U) and it was branded U.S. Cellular. I successfully changed the CSC to XAA and that got rid of the branding. I checked the "Software Details" screen and it says XAA/XAA/USC. Do I need to flash a new firmware to be able to get OTA updates from Samsung? I am currently stuck on Android 10 and OneUI 2.5 because it was U.S. Cellular and when I check for updates, it says none are available.
How did you change to xaa? I know there are tutorials but none have worked for me. I have a tmb branded and unlocked......I was able to get stock Samsung on it but still shows tmb/tmb/tmb in the settings. I am trying to switch it to the att stock firm
I just got a galaxy s10+ from a friend who was on Tmoblie so it has the Tmoblie loading screen and apps. I would like to revert it back to the firmware CSC code XAA so I dont have to have the Tmoblie boot screen and apps. He didn't buy it from tmoblie its from an insurance company so I am pretty sure its unlocked. The app "Phone Info" says that Firmware's CSC code is XAA and the active one is TMB. I have tried to put in the *#272*IMEI# code into the phone but it just gives me an error code.
Is there anyway to revert it back to XAA without flashing the phone? Will I void the warranty if i flash the phone with official firmware? Also if I have to flash the phone where do I find XAA firmware as I only saw carrier firmware on SamMoblie.
Thanks for any help and very sorry if this has been posted a thousand times!
Also the phone model is SM-N975U / Galaxy Note10+
Device Type: d2q
Product Name: d2qsq
Bootloader Version: N975USQS6FUF1
CSC Version: N975UOYN6FUF1
Phone is on Android 11
I just flashed the phone and it all worked out. I used these threads to figure out the solution if anyone else is ever interested in how I solved this problem.
Note 10+ N975U carrier universal and unlocked models firmware.
Yep. I'm going to download the files just in case ,but wait a few days to see if anything happens.I'm curious if that was your issue all this time .

Odin Files/Guides For S21
Flashing S21 Ultra t-mobile branded to unlocked? Hi Everyone, I am a new samsung owner. I recently got s21 ultra t-mobile branded. It is now network unlocked. But i wanted to have a clean bloat free phone so wanted to have unlocked firmware. As i understand it, i need XAA G998-UA firmware...
forums.androidcentral.com
And I used this very kind user on Androidcentrals help. The context of my question is not needed but I basically asked if I was choosing the correct files.
"Yes use the firmware from frija , you will also need prince comsey patched Odin which download from XDA website, this will factory reset your device for first time , choose XAA as region with model number from unlocked version. (He is refering to the model number SM-N975U1) Put the device in download mode and make sure using a good cable and try 7zip to extract the firmware,odin,frija ...then after extract the the firmware you going take for files Cp/CSC,Bl,Ap and put in corresponding slots in odin and flash"
