[Advice CSC's] - The importance of file /efs/imei/mps_code.dat - N9005 - Galaxy Note 3 General

First of all to see this file only having root access.
This file /efs/imei/mps_code.dat is very important when we flash a CSC whit flashing one Rom.
When we make a clean install of one Rom after full wipe data + cache + dalvik (or data + cache if on stock recovery) the CSC by default of them will be installed on /mps_code.dat. But not always. I use my csc TPH like exemple (I begin having TPH on it):
1- If I flash the Poland XEO or France XEF Rom's that have on multi-csc my TPH, at first boot I begin in Portuguese and I have the TPH installed well because I have TPH on /mps_code.dat.
2- If I flash the Singapore XSP Rom not having my TPH, the XSP is installed on /mps_code.dat.
3- If I flash the Vodafone TCL Rom not having my TPH nor XSP, the TCL is installed on /mps_code.dat.
4- Now, if I flash the Poland XEO Rom having my TPH but not the TCL that is on /mps_code.dat is installed here now the XEO by default from Rom. XEO continue here on /mps_code.dat.
5- For example a Member that have the CYO csc installed after flash the France XEF Rom, is because he had CYO on /mps_code.dat from one Rom before, and the CYO is included also on Multi-csc from XEF Rom. CYO is the csc by default for him.
6- Are Members that flash the XEO, XEF, SEE, SEB Rom's having all XEO by default. (I don't understand why the XEF and SEE have XEO by default, must be some error from Samsung???). In this case after flash XEF, SEE or SEB they have XEO installed because, or he have already XEO on /mps_code.dat or have here a CSC not included on Multi-csc OXX from that Rom's.
Solution: The better is install one ROM that have by default TPH but not have the csc that is on /mps_code.dat. In this case the TPH is installed on this file. And, more, in the future install only Rom's that have the TPH on Multi-csc OXX. Never another not having it.
I have always root access and is easy to see what CSC is on /mps_code.dat whit Root Explorer.
But who not have root access, for now I don't know how to see that. (Someone help me please?).
One way is whit Stock Recovery: Power Off. Enter on recovery mode by Power + Home + Vol up. We have this screen from Stock Recovey:

Hi,
One noob question... What's the pros n cons for having the same CSC or different CSC of your region? My region is XSP but I have been using different CSC concurrently because I couldn't find a custom rom which has my region CSC i.e. BTU, ITV, XEO.

The right CSC provides you with OTA updates from Samsung. This can be confirmed when you connect your phone with kies. If it states "update not supported through kies" means that your rom doesnt match your CSC, when it was released from Samsung. If it states "you have the latest firmware", means your rom and CSC match. Many want CSC like DBT, XEF, XEO or NEE to be the first to receive OTA updates
Another con is that the right CSC - rom provides you with the right initial language.

Whit this:
PIT File whit a biggest HIDDEN partition to flash all Rom's. XEO_OXX.csc, DBT_DBT.csc and UK ROM's_ VFG.csc.
/mps_code.dat have guide me:
And to try, (always after full wipe before) I flashed the DBT NB7, rooted it to see the /efs/imei/mps_code.dat. The DBT was here. Good install.
Flashed also after, the Portugal (Vodafone) NB4 Rom TCL (That not have TCL but ATL from Spain by default, like problem from XEF Rom's) and flashed well. No issues in Odin "hiden.img.ext4 -> FAIL! (Size)" like before. Rooted also and on /mps_code.dat ATL now. Good install also.
Quoted from Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50895548#post50895548

Hello. I want to have the CSC VD2. But every time after install the inital vodafone Rom, it always appears the Multi CSC ATL, why? After install DBT it shows DBT, but if I install VD2 Rom after that, again ATL.
Could u help me please?

Nope! I can't help You. This may be a bug from Samsung. I flashed also the Portugal (Vodafone) TLC and have by default ATL. It begin in Spanish.
Flashed also the VOD UK I had also ATL. Also the Vodafone Italy OMN and same ATL.
Is same whit Rom's OXX multi-csc. Poland XEO, France XEF, SEE and SER have all by default XEO from Poland.
If You have Root Access and a Customer Recovery I can make a Mod CSC VD2 to You, to flash by Recovery. See this Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666907
TCL and VOD are there already.
BTW I will make it to VD2 and include in my Thread.

Isnt that possible to create an update file which is accepted by the default samsung recovery?
Thanks

I never thick (or tick) the update bootloader or phone bootloader update on 3.09. I not make an update but install one new bootloader.
In my opinion, if I have a Mod to update the bootloader installed, yes, I must thick (or tick) that.
Another opinions are welcome.

Repeat the flash. Make before full wipe data+cache+dalvik and format system on mount and storage on a Customer recovery. Force Download Mode and reflash the Rom, file .tar.md5 in PDA or AP from Odin3. Usually this must work whitout issues.
The NB3 Rom have the csc ROM to Romania (RO Orange, Vodafone RO and Cosmote).

csc issue within btu firmware

Had issue with my note 3
But fixed finally
1/step: dowloand single csc firmware, example 3 ireland has single csc perfect for this issue.
2/step: install 3 ireland firmware via odin.
3/step: after finishing full wipe resetting the device
Complete full setup and finish everything
4/step: than download btu firmware and instal via odin
Wait for finish then when you see first samsung logo on the screen pull out the battery wait for 5to10 second then put batery back and start with recovery mode and fully reset the device
Then boot device normally, you'll have btu csc on the device

"Successfully applied ITV CSC" mean You have by default ITV from Your Rom before on file /efs/imei/mps_code dat. Is from here the csc is applied by Stock Recovery where it need.
On this file /mps_code.dat is installed the CSC by default from all Clean install Roms (full wiped before).
Then, You installed the NB7 BTU Rom, but this Rom have also the ITV. This CSC is installed well because Your default ITV on /mps_code.dat.

I'd like to use the home_csc just to keep all my data during the flashing (it should be fine when going from Nougat to Nougat...)
The "previous" installed rom whas the final BTU one G930FXXU1DQB3_G930FOXA1DQB1_BTU (same Changelist 10422490 as the ITV that I want to flash)
Odin gives me an error at the last check: hidden.img FAIL
From what I've learnt, it seems that the size of the hidden.img file from ITV is bigger than the BTU one and can't be loaded in the partition of the phone (its original firmware when brand new was OMN, and now I get the same error when trying to flash the Nougat OMN rom)
After the above error, I can always restore the phone by flashing the BTU Nougat rom, but I wonder if there is a way to "come back" to one Italian ITV or OMN rom...
One solution could be to use the HOME_CSC from BTU instead of the "bigger one" in ITV or OMN (but I will not receive OTA future updates?)
The FINAL solution I think can be to use the Emergency recovery function in Smart Switch PC software, but this will erase all my data (I'm trying to avoid it, and leaving this as the last solution, together with using CSC instead of HOME_CSC in Odin)
Have a read here, if the CSC is not included as part of your own Multi CSC, you may need to use the PIT file & Repartition option
www. sam mobile .com/forum/showthread.php?t=30800
follow this guide: Open the firmware file in winrar and extract the hidden.img. Rename it as hidden.img.tar.
Load the new file into the PDA tab, and flash.
When the phone boots, the displayed image will be touchwiz teal, there will be a little android and GALAXY spelt
Solved by flashing the latest ITV firmware (aka Italy no brand) with Odin, using CSC and not HOME_CSC, then restoring all my data and settings.
Before flashing ITV I also tried OMN (aka Vodafone Italia) with full wipe using CSC but the phone then "woke up" speaking German and not Italian, weird... I then chose to go with ITV

Flash Oreo on Samsung S7 with odin - how to change CSC from XEO to BTU?

Hello,
last days I flashed the new Oreo firmware for my SM-G930F, available now only for UK (BTU CSC code). I used the last odin version 3.13.1. When the firmware was flashed, after factory recet I received my old CSC code (XEO). I wrote in forums, that if I want to changthe default CSC I have to set in odin settings Repartition. So yesterday evening I decided to reflash the firmware, but now with ticked Repartiotion. When I cklicked on Start, afer one two seconds red Fail windows has been shown. Why I can't flash the firmware with set Repartition? Does somebody have an idea what went wrong?
Reasons why I want to change the CSC code by default from XEO to BTU is that BTU receives the updates at the earliest!

BTU contains XEU as it is Multi-CSC, you cannot switch between them directly
You need to flash a different region CSC not included in BTU first, then flash BTU

Which for example? Can I use one of the following: VOD or VDI? Both of them have available Oreo firmwares. Oherwise I have to downgrade to Nougat (by the way, how can I downgrade using odin?)

One with the same bootloader version as you are running, probably version 2
You can tell by this number in the firmware version
G930FXXU2ERD5
Have a look in download mode for B:2 or whatever number it says and match to the firmware
Downgrade the same way you upgrade, but use ODIN 3.12.7 for Nougat
Do not flash the VOD (vodafone) Oreo, it is bricking devices, very broken, only flash BTU Oreo

Exactly the same as XEO is also included in the BTU CSC

What about flashing the same firmware with odin 3.13.1, but with ticked repartition in the option? This, regarding the comments in sammobile forum works. But for me doesn't. Maybe for Oreo it doesn't work or there is something specifically to do?
I can't catch your proposal for flashing the other firmware. Can you tell me which exactly firmware I have to flash first, later on to receive BTU Oreo CSC as default?
