XEO (Poland) is much much slower compared to DBT (Germany) and I would not recommend people to use XEO if they want the first updates. I don't understand why you recommend XEO to people while DBT is the only one that gets updated so much.
And no it's not ''faster'' as you say

i know germany is fastest
I got UK phone, and it was very slow updates
poland ones are faster
but i ment just show it works changing CSC and flashing XEO or any other faster firmware then BTU
XEO got updates not much slower then German one
I might switch to german one tho if it faster
Still would works same for me I guess
But I want OTA, so would change CSC again to german one
where can I download latest German firmware ?
thanks
why i cant change CSC from XEO to DBT using https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...kk.cscselector

u got it wrong
I did flash DBT firmware over my S4 witch XEO CSC, used PDA 1 file, yes you can flash it, but after u still on XEO csc, so u end up witch Phone witch XEO csc and DBT firmware, means OTA will not work.
You have to flash separate csc file to change it, or root phone and use csc changer app, like i did
may b its different for S3, but I doubt it.
Flashing 1 file on s4, dont change CSC, just making different firmvare csc code on different CSC phone code, so they different, if u know what i mean...
if it would be that easy I would not ask how to change csc, just flash whatever firmware I want and it would change csc code, but It dont work like that...

Hi, I have the S8+ SM-G955F from Vodafone, it looks like some Vodafone bloatware apps are installed.
Does anyone have a stock firmware for the device?
Thanks!

Be advised, that BTU is now part of the Multi-CSC OXM

I didn't follow the secure pin instructions. I used the program SamFirm and downloaded the BTU rom which had the Multi-CSC, my firmware was Vodafone branded and had the Vodafone VOD CSC.
Once I used the correct Odin and flashed the BTU rom I reset the phone in the settings and then I had the XEU CSC which is the correct CSC for Ireland and the UK.

Thank you. I flashed and now have build number NRD90M.G955FXXU1AQDD
Service provider software XEU/XEU/VOD
Is this UK/IRL XEU or still Vodafone UK firmware?
Excuse my ignorance, what is BTU? I am with O2, what benefit do we get from flashing BTU, no bloat apps?
Also I haven't yet accepted any updates, if we do, and realize for example we want to Re-map the Bixby button can we backtrack with this Firmware?
So doing this did not trip Knox ?

I ordered my S8+ SM-G955F from the Telekom (T-Mobile DE) and their usual CSC is DTM but for some reason mine is ODX (I am not using the ordered flat rate but only its phone). After a little bit of research I found out that ODX is being used by countries like Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia. Since the updates seem to be coming really late on this one (just received 11th March while 11th April is the actual current software) I wondered whether and how I could change the CSC to DBT (open Germany) *without* voiding any warranty, so that I will receive the Open German updates. Any help appreciated.

You can't change it to DBT, because DBT is part of the Multi-CSC OXM
When you flash the DBT firmware, it'll take the 1st CSC in the OXM Multi-CSC package, and that's not DBT

Well that would be good enough, wouldn't it? All I want is a CSC that receives the OTA's a little earlier than my current ODX (DTM).
Sent from my SM-G955F using XDA Labs
I received a dual sim S8+ model SM-G955FD (CSC XXV) that somehow was flashed with an Italian (CSC-ITV) SM-G955F single-sim ROM ..
It works fine, even dual-sim functionality, so on itself no real issue. Even a recent OTA update went fine and did not break anything.
But I would like to flash it back to the original SM-G955FD rom for XXV. I have downloaded the proper file and flashed everything via Odin (AP, BL, CSC, CP) but somehow it now has become a SM-G955F (CSC-PHN) ..
Am getting a bit confused now .. How do I get the sodded thing back to its original CSC with Odin? The S8+ is not rooted, and Knox is not tripped.
Any help would be welcome

I'll try to explain in a simple way...
That your CSC now is PHN is CORRECT!
Since introduction of the Note 7, Samsung is using for most European countries (and some other countries) the Multi-CSC OXM.
In The Multi-CSC OXM, these CSC's are included:
ACR AFG AFR ARO ATO AUT BGL BNG BRI BTC BTU CAC CAM CHO COO DBT DKR ECT EGY EON ETL EUR GLB ILO INS ITV KSA LAO LUX LYS MID MM1 MWD MYM NEE NPL ORX PAK PHE PHN ROM SEB SEE SEK SER SIN SKZ SLK SMA STH THL THR TMC TPA TPH TTT TUN TUR WTL XEF XEH XEO XEU XFA XFE XME XSG XSP XTC XXV ZTO
As you can see, PHN & XXV (original CSC of your device) are BOTH included in the Multi-CSC OXM
Because you flashed the firmware with CSC_OXM (NOT HOME_CSC_OXM) your device was resetted. The initial set-up sees, that your SIM-card is NOT from Vietnam (XXV) so it'll use the best CSC for your SIM-card, in this case PHN.
When you have a look at the "Softwaregegevens"-screen, scroll down to "Software serviceprovider" you probably see "PHN/PHN/XXV" which is CORRECT! (The last XXV can't be changed, because this is the product-code of your device).
Because your device is using the "correct" CSC-file now (PHN), probably VoLTE & VoWiFi (when available) will work now too, as well as "NL Alert"...
You'll also (probably) receive automatically OTA-updates...
I hope, this made it some clear to you...
PS: the SM-G955FD will be released in The Netherlands too
PS2: the ROM's for the SM-G955F & SM-G955FD models are the same
Thanks for the clarification ... There is however one strange thing that remains unexplained. Phone Info identifies my phone as a SM-G955F, not a SM-G955FD ... is that perhaps because Phone Info is not able to correctly read out the phone details?

Correct...
Phone Info doesn't read the correct CSC information also...
I hope I'm allowed to piggy back this thread for a quick question relating to this.
I have the XXV dual Sim. And VMC is the CSC I need to use. I had to install it via twrp and works great.
But how do I figure out which one to flash from Odin? I'd like to see which one it'll pick closest relating to my Sim card. XAC is the Canadian but it's not included in the multi.
Can you help clarify this for me? I'm starting to understand this.
Similar question for me. Is there a way to install Canadian (Fido) CSC on an unrooted stock SMG955FD. Knox is important to me but so is wifi calling.
Help please.
thanks.

On sammobile find your country and pick fw without any of carrier in description.
For example, for Austria it is TTR version, for Germany it is DBT version, for Czech Republic it is ETL version etc...
