[Q] are csc files device-dependant? - General Questions and Answers

Hi
I want to update my csc since I've done some stuff to my phone and changed it; now I don't have my original csc. I can't find a specific csc for my device (n900w8) and I'm wondering if it's OK to use a csc of my region even if it's not for my device.
Regards!

[Q] CSC change

Hey guys,
I read a little about changing csc, but I ordered a Note in germany, but I got a french device. What I don't understand is:
Is the csc device or firmware dependant? Means: If I flash a german firmware will the csc change or do I still have to use csc changer or somethin like that?
edit: nevermind, I think the firmware was multi csc, after choosing german, the firmware shows as XXUCMA8, so everythings fine
CSC is essentially a list of local network settings often not required if you set the APN settings .

Change CSC

Hi!
I bought a G930FD unit out of my country (dual sim version is not available here).
Then I activated Samsung Pay and I faced a weird situation: the app is totally in my language, but the offers and promotions sections are all in english and contain just US offers.
Samsung support told me I won't be able to get offers and promos from my country because of my foreign CSC.
The question: What's the best option to set the CSC of my country and have less change of problems with my device? My current CSC is XSG. I would like to set it to ZTO.

I got the zip with the rom content. Inside the package, I see many files (AP, BL, CP, CSC and HOME CSC). Shall I flash them all to change the CSC?

Changing CSC Help

I've looked everywhere and can't find a proper walkthrough/tutorial for my questions
I have a g930w8 S7 canada which is a multi csc phone, i want to change the csc to another carrier that i'm now subscribed to and further they have newer update then old carrier.
So i'm wondering what my best choice is
1. change csc with *#272*IMEI# code, without sim in, let it reset, power off and then clear cache through recovery menu, then put sim in and it's essentially that new carriers phone? And latest firmware/ later otas would be to said new carrier?
2. flash latest new carrier firmware through odin and voila new carrier phone?
Which option is better? 1 is easier but does it change active csc and then when new update downloads does it change firmware csc?
Thanks for your help

Hi mate
assuming you are not root
option 1 is good but is not working anymore in most phones , once you change your CSC it stay active until you flash a different firmware with different CSC
option 2 maybe your only option , all canadian firmwares i see they seem to be single CSC , which one are you looking for? if so just flash it ( use CSC file , not home_csc) and you are done......backup csc change will factory reset your phone

Flashing G930F "BTU" (UK) Nougat firmware in the USA - CSC change needed?

Since there is no official Nougat release in the USA yet, I was planning on installing the "BTU" Nougat official firmware intended for the UK. Do I need to do anything with changing the CSC to use in the USA, or just flash everything as-is in the firmware download? I don't understand if the CSC change is REQUIRED to match the country you are using the phone in, or just recommended. The current Marshmallow build is showing a CSC of OJV (middle east)
What are you USA folks out there doing? I am on Straight Talk (AT&T sim).
My current phone is giving me a lot of problems, and I'd really appreciate a response as I need to get switched over to this S7 ASAP. I realize I can just use Marshmallow but am really hoping to get to Nougat so I don't have to reflash and potentially lose data down the road.
Thank you!
If the CSC you want to change to is not included in the CSC already on your phone, you'll need to use CSC of the new ROM (Not HOME_CSC) along with the other 3 sections, and check the "Repartition" option in PIT settings of ODIN
This will wipe your phone back to factory settings
Are you rooted?

He doesn't need to check repartition. Despite the fact that it is designed for downgrading and unbricking (exclusively, in most cases ), it is not required to do that if only CSC change is needed. Only thing he need to do is using CSC section of the ROM (not Home_CSC because it is preserving old settings in the phone, message to The Founder of the topic ).
Generally, when I was switching to BTU I flashed Firmware with CSC different that BTU (for example Sweden rom) and then flashed BTU sofware. CSC has changed flawlessly
And when you have rooted phone, you can change CSC manually. That extremely ease you effort.
i would just flash the firmware and the csc that comes with it because then you will get updates in the future. if the csc doesn't match the firmware you wont ever get updates so just do a samsung cloud backup and flash the nougat But its weird that someone in the usa doesn'ty have nougat because i thought usa was 1 of the first with nougat.
RiTCHiE007 is right. If you want to receive OTA updates, CSC must match with the type of firmware it comes from. That is why you need to change CSC from US to BTU. Here is a thread that will help you out providing explanation of the topic.

S8+ Change CSC for wifi calling

Hello Everybody ,
Just received an S8+ bought from Amazon.it
I placed my Cosmote Greek SIM before turning the phone on for first time.
The phone has OXM multi CSC firmware installed but for my bad luck , the COS CSC code for my network (Cosmote) is not listed.
Current active CSC code according to phone info app is EUR.
I need to install the ODX multi CSC code firmware which has the COS CSC file for Cosmote.
The reason for changing the CSC from EUR to COS is to enable wifi calling supported from Cosmote network.
Is there any guide to do it without involving root?
Thank you.
Perhaps this thread will help you. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-v1-0-0-t3605264
Thanks for your reply but it does not fit in my case.
I do not want to root my phone and the thread mentioned requires root access.
