Hello!
Just purchased a Samsung Galaxy Watch in Dubai. I live in Spain, so I would like to use Samsung Pay in that country. However, I can only configure Samsung Pay as United Arab Emirates. I have read that in order to make it work, I have to flash the specific firmware for the desired location (in this case, Spain) with Odin. I have found some tutorials on how to do that, but I cannot find the appropiate firmware for my device. Here is the info:
Model number: SM-R800
Tizen version: 4.0.0.1
Software version: R800XXU1BRK3
Has anyone done this before? Where can I find the appropiate firmware?
Thanks!
You don't have to flash firmware specific to the desired location, you have to update the csc (also resets the watch) to represent the location you want.

For me, I purchased the international version in the US and Samsung Pay did not work in Sweden, I changed the csc to NEE (nordics) following the guide above and I can now use Samsung Pay in Sweden.
Maybe this attached Video explain "something":

Thank adfree and siwan05 for your kind replies. I was able to change the CSC of my watch without problem. However, it turns out that my bank is not compatible with Pay on Watch (only with Samsung Pay app). Nevertheless, your advice worked perfectly.
Thanks!
I can't get the update to One UI 1.5 announced here, could I change my CSC to other country, update my device and change again to my original CSC?
Make that would disable Samsung Pay in my Galaxy Watch?
How could I check what regions have the latest version of One UI?

Hey everyone,
I realize that posts regarding CSC are a dime a dozen, I've searched through a lot but this stuff is somehow really tough to piece together. I rarely post because I normally find everything I need but here goes.
I bought my note 10+ in Slovakia from Orange. The phone's CSC is ORS/ORS,ORS/ORS, which I think is part of the OGC multi CSC. I'm guessing ORS stands for Orange Slovakia. However, I'm using a Telekom SIM card. I'm still waiting for my android 10 update, but I've noticed that Android 10 has already come out for the Telekom Note 10+. The CSC in that rom is TMS (which I think stands for Telekom Slovakia), which is a part of the ODX multi CSC . In the past I would just flash an update from another country, but from what I gather, this is somehow... riskier? nowadays.
So my question is, could I lose warranty if I were to flash that TMS rom? Or is there a possibility that it would mess something up? I figure that that's the rom that is as close to mine as possible ? but I'm not sure. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Hi, i have same Note10+ buyed from Orange Slovakia. I flashed Multi-CSC FW ROM (ORX) from samfirm, but CSC is set to default AUT. For change CSC you must buy 2 credits from samkey.
Hello Community,
I have always bought factory unlock international versions of Samsung galaxy S phones from Amazon and used it outside the US (in Central America). The last time I flashed a phone was in the Samsung S4 period where a few friends had carrier branded phones, which I helped them unbranded by flashing the TTT (Trinidad and Tobago) firmware, since the PDA and CSC was the same as mine. It never gave me any issues and therefore, I never really messed with CSC before. It was easy and simple!
I recently returned to Samsung ecosystem but this time I bought a S20+ (SM-G985F) carrier branded and locked phone (Claro Guatemala). It's clear that things have gotten way complicated now.
Version: G985FXXU3ATG4 / G985FOWA3ATG4 / G985FXXU3ATG4
CSC: PGU
Thanks to another post, I was instructed to able to flash a different firmware to unbrand it. I was also instructed to change CSC to GTO, so I would not loose VoWIFI and VoLTE. Apparently now just flashing the firmware does not change the CSC, there is another process for that. I performed the change but still lost the options (although my carrier still doesn't support it).
version: G985FXXU3ATG4 / G985FOXM3ATG9 / G985FXXU3ATG4
CSC: GTO
I've been trying to understand how CSC works but I've been reading several contradictions. Some say that if CSCs don't match you might not get OTAs. Other say that that doesn't matter. Why couldn't I just flash the TTT as I've done before? Why did I have to change my CSC to GTO? What if I change my CSC to TPA but use it in Guatemala, would I still get OTA updates? If my device is single sim, why does my CSC GTO/GTO,GTO/PGU as a dual sim?
Who can give me a definite explanation on how to choose a correct CSC firmware? HELP!
I'm going through the same nightmare...

Isn't the SM-G985F a Multi CSC device? Try this, go to "Settings" then "About phone". Write down your IMEI Number. Open dialer and enter *#272*IMEInumber# (In the thread replace IMEInumber with your actual IMEI Number). Press dial, you should see a screen with the list of available CSC codes for your device. Select the CSC that you want and tap the Install option.

What follows are my findings and my attempt to 'put it all together'.
Samsung Firmware Naming Convention
See [10] and [11]
What is a CSC?
Samsung CSC refers to the Country Specific (Product) Code. This identifies the region and carrier for which the device is configured [1,3].
This includes [7]:
Carrier branding: A CSC may be country or carrier-specific. Samsung releases the same model of a smartphone to Tab with different CSCs. For instance, if you use an unlocked or unbranded Samsung Galaxy phone in the UK, its CSC would be BTU. However, if your device is locked to a network operator, it could be VOD (Vodafone), TMU (T-Mobile), ORA (Orange), XEU (EE & Three), etc.
System Languages: These include the availability of the popular languages used in a geographical area. For example, if you own a Samsung phone in Mexico and flash the firmware meant for India with INS as CSC, you won’t be able to set Spanish, Nahuatl, or Mixtec as your phone’s system language and keyboard.
Localizations: Samsung ships its devices with geo-specific or bloat apps relevant to a country or region. Localization also determines the calendar settings and local festivals.
APN Settings: Access Point Name settings include all configurations to make a mobile device work with the network carriers of a region or country. Without these configurations, you may not be able to enjoy seamless GSM, GPRS, 3G or 4G mobile networks.
Samsung FUS: CSC also contains key info to help Samsung’s Firmware Update Server to connect to the correct update channel and roll out the proper software update to your Galaxy device via OTA.
Deep dive:
Historically, Samsung had one CSC folder on the device [8], located at /system/csc. This folder contained different XML files used to configure the device.
Code:
/system/csc
features.xml
language.xml
others.xml
customer.xml
The supported configuration options for these files have been extensively documented by other users [9].
Presently, there are two flavors of CSC files CSC and HOME_CSC. Flashing CSC performs a factory reset of the device; wiping all third-party apps, data and settings [7]. HOME_CSC is used to reinstall the firmware or updating the system, retaining apps, data, and settings.
Examining the current contents of a HOME_CSC file shows the structure has changed.
Code:
HOME_CSC_OMC_OXM_G985FOXM3ATG9_CL18862671_QB33041563_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT/
meta-data
cache.img.lz4
optics.img.lz4
prism.img.lz4
The three image files correspond to directories found on the device root (using adb).
Code:
/cache/
backup
backup_stage
lost+found
lsb
magisk
magisk.log
magisk.log.bak
recovery
/optics/
configs
/prism/
HWRDB
app
etc
lost+found
media
priv-app
sipdb
Buried within the optics folder, we find XML files similar to the original design.
Code:
/optics/configs/carriers/single/TPA/conf
cscfeature.xml
cscfeature_network.xml
customer.xml
omc.info
How do I find and interpret my CSC?
You check your CSC by going to Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Service Provider SW Version. According to [1] you should see the following, depending on your phone's SIM capacity.
CSC Format:
AAA/BBB/CCC (Single SIM Models)
AAA/BBB,BBB/CCC (Dual SIM Models)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Where, according to [5]
AAA is the current CSC
BBB is the recommed CSC for your SIM (if this CSC is inside your current Multi-CSC)
CCC is the factory CSC of your phone and can´t be changed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Some phone info applications call these the original (CCC), firmware (AAA), and active (BBB) CSCs. For example, my SM-G985F shows
Code:
SAOMC_SM-G980F_OXM_TPA_QQ_0006
...
TPA/TPA,TPA/TPA
Which tells me that the phone was manufactured for Panama, has the Panama firmware and the recommended SIM CSCs are both for Panama. I know this because the list of CSC country codes is well documented [12].
NOTE: I came across multiple sources online that say the SIM CSC will change depending on the SIM card you have inserted. For example, [1] states
When you switch to a SIM card from a different country, your device will attempt to modify the SIM CSC. If the operation is successful, you’ll receive a popup asking to align the new information with the active CSC. This will effectively modify the configuration region, but the process requires a factory reset.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But this may not be true. I am in the USA using a local provider and was never prompted as described.
What does each CSC do?
So we have the three different CSCs, each of which could be responsible for configuring different parts of the phone.
Firmware
SIM
Original (factory)
I would think that the original CSC is only there to identify the original factory firmware, and is not configuring anything on the phone. The firmware CSC should tell me the current firmware loaded and the SIM CSC does ???
I will continue to look into this over the next few days. If anyone can contribute more information it would be very helpful.
Hi all,
I purchased an A52s 5G (SM-A528B/DS, snapdragon version) last week. I never had a Samsung before so I’m learning now about CSC and such.
I noticed that I don’t have the call recording function even though my country should support it (ILO). As it turns out the device has XSG CSC (I guess it’s a non-official parallel import).
I gathered information around the forums and I’m trying to understand if I can change the CSC by factory reseting and doing the device setup while my ILO SIM card is installed.
Apologies if my questions are stupid and the answer is obvious, but I couldn’t piece it together.
I’m trying to avoid tripping Knox to retain my warranty.
I read somewhere that ILO and XSG are part of the same multi-CSC group (OJM) and that it should work?
I read somewhere else that it no longer works on One UI 3.1/Android 11 versions?
I read somewhere else again that samkey may be a viable solution?
So should I try just by factory resetting the phone? Or try samkey? Or?
Is there any way to change CSC on the fly and avoid having to factory reset the device?
Thanks so much in advance,
Tal
I used to require a SIM to change the CSC but was able to do without it this time.
Doesn't trip Knox. There's a list of countries that details which have call recording built in.

To anyone who might encounter this in the future, My phone was bought trough GoMobile a parallel importer in Israel who didn't have call recordings available although the official one had.
I used SAMKEY in order to change the CSC into "ILO" the Israeli CSC and it worked getting me back the recordings and even had gotten OTA's after it.
I bought an A52s 5G on Amazon UK, and the model that arrived was a Romanian one. I find two things very odd: there is nothing outside the box to indicate that the device is not a UK one (product code would suffice), and when opening the box (which was untampered, as expected) it had a UK plug charger, adding to the fact that the device was destined for the UK market. The back of the device shows a sign for compliance with UK CA standards, and booting it first time, it greeted me in English. However, soon after I figured out the shortcomings and I found that CSC is set to ROM. Factory resetting the phone with a UK sim didn't make much difference however this time the phone greeted me in Romanian. While I've resolved the issue with.. the usual method, I find it dodgy and either the seller went to great lengths to hide the originating country or Samsung is creating these devices targetting Romania but actually making them look British, for.. reasons? Both possibilities are weird.

did you succeed? do you have call recording?
For some reason I've never been able to buy a Samsung that used a single sku CSC.
Even with ICCID locked devices they always shipped with the multi-csc/multi-csc2, so I've always been able to use a SIM Card to change out carriers unless the EFS/CSC partitions blocked it partially.
And even in those couple cases, I've always been able to cross-flash carrier firmware for that device to switch networks when need be.
This method even allowed me to use my AT&T locked Galaxy Note5 with T-Mobile Firmware. The only bug was the AT&T Modem's lack of hardware support for all of the TMO network bands.
Other than that. I even bested the Geek Squad at Best Buy...
This method worked on my A32x 5G.
Hey guys, I recently purchased a secondhand Z Fold 3 on a buy and sell website. I checked everything, IMEI and all (which was clean). I even got them to send me a video of the phone, and everything looked perfect. Even the flip case and the stylus was included. The deal was good but definitely not too good to be true.
Even after they sent it out to me, everything worked perfectly. Until I factory reset it a few minutes after getting it. After setting up the phone as normal, this is what I got after unlocking it.
Factory resetting from recover mode just takes me back here. I have no idea what to do, I was not careless, I made sure everything was ok, I'm so lost because I'm pretty good with tech but this is such a good scam and I'm just in shock. I just really cannot be losing money like this, especially when everything just seems to be getting harder everyday.
Is there anything I can do about it, even try and repair it if I can prove I bought it? Or even return it to Samsung and get some compensation? Any help is much appreciated, even if you dm if you can't say it here thanks everybody!
Images and them using it before sending it to me:
https://imgur.com/a/U9huYxD
I'm located in the EU, I've been told I can flash a new ROM using just a PC without accessing the phone, is this possible?
Tough luck man.
- Firstly I would contact the seller for a refund, otherwise threatning that I will call the police.
- The fair thing to do would be to report it to the authorities but depending on where you live, this might be a good or bad ideea. (for example in Romania where I live, I once took a lost backpack to the police station and they were mad I gave them paperwork to do, literally asking me why I did I not take it or dump it in a ditch, which they probably did after I left)
- Otherwise I would try to flash a new rom on it or something depending on what is possible on the fold 3
good luck.
Seems like a money making scam, and I would factory flash the stock firmware for your device which should sort any issues out with it via odin. Wouldn't have thought it would take more than that to be honest ?
Once the IMIE has been flagged as stolen, no amount of flashing will get you back to a usable device because no carrier will activate it.
IMEI is clean, this looks KNOX locked to me.

Do you think I could flash stock firmware?
I tried flashing stock firmware but I had no idea which country to get, I only had the model number?
I tried Malaysia and EUA, both gave me fails on Odin. Now I think it’s EUB, will try that later when I’m home.
Maybe I’m using Odin wrong, I initially only inserted the BL file into Odin, and then all of them (BL, AP, CP and CSC). I didn’t know which CSC file to use, there’s 2 (CSC and CSC HOME I think?)
Tried this with both Malaysia and EUA, but both gave me OdinFAIL!(Auth)
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated!

My CSC is GTO , and I use EUY firmware ( because they update faster than other Regions )

Just because it's clear on Public Databases does not mean it's not clear internally. I used to work for a cellular company (IT in Corporate, not a retail store) and those public databases are NOT refreshed too often and I would not say it's 100% not blacklisted.

Good point, but the quickest way to get BL is scam a carrier, this looks like another victim of trade and switch fraud. If this keeps happening you can bet (Samsung) will no longer offer the trade discount up front requiring paying the FULL PRICE at time of purchase and then refunding the discount once trade ins are received and verified.
Honestly, at this point, you are just pretty much stuck with a WiFi Tablet. If you cannot get resolution with the seller (which may not be worth the time and effort), then you will just have to chalk it up to Lessons Learned and move on.
I HATE HATE HATE to hear about people getting scammed, but there really isn't much that can be done.
