Hi @ all.
A few of German S6 users who own a T-Mobile contract are a little bit in trouble. Since T-Mobile has activated VoLTE it is only possible to use this feature with a branded S6.
So we tried a lot of things to change the CSC.
Flash the 4 parts firmware first then do factory reset and so one, but finally we get only DDE (this is Congstar without the possibility to activate VoLTE)
My idea.... is there someone who is able to modify the CSC and extract the DDE files so that we flash only DTM.
Thanks in advance.
Here the file name: CSC_DDX_G920FDDX3QOIT_CL5636704_QB6439838_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
No one?

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
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.
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.
Hello,
I have been trying to find an answer to my question or a solution but all the results I found on XDA are Snapdragon model oriented.
My question is about changing the CSC just to be able to receive OTA updates faster ( I don't want Samsung Pay ..) . I aleady know that the product code is hardcoded into the phone I just need to change last three letters of the CSC.
My rom is part of the OXM multi-CSC rom, I flashed it and tried the famous code to change the CSC region but no results so far. I also do not have any other sim card to trick the phone after factory reset.
Could anyone please help ? has anyone been able to change CSC via odin ?
Regards.
Can anyone help please ? is my question a little bit confusing ?

Changing CSCs isn't possible without root or without a local SIM card from the country whose CSC you want to use.
If you're so eager to get faster updates, just flash them with HOME_CSC_OXM as they are released, you won't lose your data and you'll be on the latest OXM builds as well.

Thank you for the answer
Hello people, I hope you're okay!
I bought an used S21+ but it was not clear that the model I would receive is Korean (G996N). While I don't have any issues, it also misses the eSIM option (and probably Samsung Pay is not going to work in Europe). The eSIM option would be really good to have (SPay I do not care a lot).
I've been searching for an answer in regards to change the region and the responses are mixed and I am out of Samsung phones and firmware loop for a few years. Some say I can just change the CSC region using SamFW and that's good to go. Some say it will not work because my KOO CSC does not allow this change. Also, OTA firmwares are lost until I switch the CSC back (but, from what I understood, if I also change the firmware it would receive OTA normally).
Question: is it possible, nowadays, to just change Firmware and CSC to another region? My phone has an Exynos processor so it would have to be a firmware from Europe or Latin America.
I also understood it will not brick nor trip knox efuse, right?
Thanks a lot!
@angourakis Ok let me give you a clear response about CSCs. ALL Samsung firmware will let you flash a new CSC (as long as you use Odin). This has worked for me every single time.
You need to update your Android to the latest 13 and download and extract this (remember to use “direct download”, this website is the only one with a good selection of firmware) and use Odin (get 3.14.1 non patched) to flash the HOMECSC file (in the CSC slot).
Hey @traman124 thanks for the response!
Why this firmware in specific? I am running a more recent firmware than the one you mentioned. Also, do I need to have the bootloader unlocked?
Thanks!
It doesn’t need to be that version @angourakis it can be any version… that one will work though And you can use Odin with a locked bootloader (with download mode).
@traman124 thanks again!
Unfortunately, I tripped knox while trying to install a CSC from G996B version (kept BL, AP and CP from G996N and only used CSC from B version).
Now I am trying to look for a trade in program to replace the phone.
Thanks anyway, I really appreciate your help!
@angourakis I’m sorry….. this has never happened to me while flashing CSCs but the few times I have I did it with the same variant phone/tablet…..
