I have a dual SIM S7 SM-G930FD. I have been reading the forum and I would like to ask some question to be sure.
Device information:
AP: G930FXXS1APGC
CP: G930FXXU1APEQ
CSC: G930FOJV1APF1
Original CSC code: XSG
Active CSC code: XSG
Available CSC codes: ACR, AFG, .....etc., etc. …., XSG
CSC Country: UAE/AE (United Arab Emirates)
1- Can I change CSC with *#272*IMEI#?
2- With my actual CSC code, how fast are sent the OTA updates? Which CSC is better considering OTA?
3- Considering less bloatware which CSC code should I use?
4- S Planner has a Islamic calendar. I would like to change it.
5- Which is a clean and safe source to obtain S7 firmware?
Thanks

I will copy & paste my reply from sammobile
1 - Not anymore. That code worked on 2.3.6 or so on samsung phones S2. When they changed it to 4.0.1 it did not work anymore. u NEED root to change CSC when u have a multi CSC rom
2 - No clue here, it is random usually. But XEU got last 2 months the quickest updates
3 - XEU - Uk/Ireland . Single CSC, no bloat at all. I use it too on my G930FD
4 - U will get european calendar with XEU CSC
5 - Sammobile or SamFirm tool
as far as i know, US variants are not Exynos based. All U.S. Galaxy S7 are Snapdragon based.
So you can't replace firmware. Usually csc changing works with firmware overwriting. (nand erase on odin.)
I don't recommend erasing nand in Odin.

Evening all,
Am from Cyprus and my original CSC was CYO. Tried the newest French and uk updates which i flashed via odin (got them from sammobile) and although i was satisfied by the updates i decided to go back to my original firmware and wait for the OTA to arrive. Got this from samsung-updates: CYO-G920FXXU1AOCV-20150409223200
Device Name : Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925F
Device Model : SM-G925F
Region Country : Cyprus (cytamobile vodafone)
Firmware Version : G925FXXU1AOCV
OS Name : Lollipop
OS Version : 5.0.2
Date Update : 2015-03-28
Region Code : CYO
Change List : 4497415
flashed it via odin and now my CSC is TPH (PORTUGAL)
Original CSC TPH
Firmware TPH
Active SCS TPH
CSC Country ISO PT
Any ideas? I downloaded the CY firmware from three different locations and got same results.
Thanks
Well I rooted phone via ping-pong and used phone info app to change csc to cyo. Then wiped data from recovery and flashed the cyo firmware again via Odin. Now my csc is correct but in csc country it says greece. Am confused really. The firmware I have is clearly for my region which is cyprus
If the firmware is multi-csc, try *#272*IMEI# and choose your CSC.

Hi, yes the firmware is multicsc and i tried that. CSC says CYO but csc country is wrong. It should have been CYprus instead of Greece
that's so stupid thing. I have the same problem with my Samsung and can't set the right CSC from the Rom file. It really sucks... any help will be useful for me...
Hi folks
I bought S7 from Vodafone Ireland. And I would expect it to use VDI-regioned firmware (but I did not notice what was the original region, my fault). I rooted it - and OTA upgrades do not work for me any more. SmartSwitch keeps upgrading with XEU region. Why? Should I bother? Should I (how?) use VDI-regioned firmware? How does SmartSwitch decide which region to use (and how to change that)?
I would like to understand what's going on...
VDI is Vodafone Ireland region
XEU is generic UK/Ireland region
Any comments are appreciated.

Hi mate
Most roms are multi CSC and when that is the case and you flash with CSC instead of home_csc (odin) a default CSC is applied in your case seems to be XEU, if you use home _csc you keep whatever csc you had
Should not make a big difference , you change your CSC to whatever you want but you need to be root
I understand that it should not matter much. But still...
What I do not understand is when my CSC changed from VDI to XEU? Why did SmartSwitch do that? I am root. How would I change it back to VDI?
I look at the Phone INFO app, it says:
Original CSC Code: VDI
Firmware CSC Code: XEU
Active CSC Code: XEU
I would like to have VDI/VDI/VDI if it is possible...
PS I do not think I ever flashed with full csc. At least it seems SmartSwitch is always doing home_csc. If so, it means the original CSC was XEU, right?

Hi
I would think so XEU was probably the original CSC

I got the info off sammobile but they are performing maintenance this weekend and I just wanted to see if anyone else had another link for version number PDA G930FXXS1DQLC and CSC G930FVFG1DQI1.
I dont have the option to use the premium download right now so thought some lovely soal might sort me out

I have the S7 international (SM-G930F) and recently got the Gear VR. My wife has the S6 international (SM-G920I). I plugged hers into the Gear VR and it installed the Oculus apps perfectly. Both of our phones are rooted.
Mine does not install the apps, but instead says it has a network error and that I should try again later. After trying different wifi networks, removing the SIM card, checking that some facebook services were running, and attempting to manually rip the apps from my wife and sideload them into my phone, I finally did the unspeakable and contacted Samsung support.
The relevant paragraph from their reply:
"I [Samsung Rep] have checked the available resources and see that Oculus app cannot be installed on International phones as it is not compatible. If you have purchased the phone in US Samsung, we suggest you to contact our appropriate support team who will assist you with further options."
After some research it some people think it might be the CSC on my phone that's the problem. Using a phone info app, I looked up my CSC info and my wife's and sure enough, there's a difference between them:
G920I
Original CSC Code: <blank>
Firmware's CSC Code: TPA
Active CSC Code: TPA
Available CSC Codes: ALE, ARO, BVO, CHO, COO, EON, PCI, PCW, PEO, TDR, TPA, TTT, UPO, VNO
CSC Country: PANAMA/PA
CSC Version: G920IUUB3EPD2
G930F
Original CSC Code: TPA
Firmware's CSC Code: BTU
Active CSC Code: <blank>
Available CSC Codes: <blank>
CSC Country: <blank>
CSC Version: <blank>
I don't know much about CSC Codes except that they are like region codes. So my question is has anyone found a way to get the Gear VR to work on an SM-G930F, and if so, how? Would the only way be to change the CSC code, and what all would that involve (e.g. factory reset or just an ODIN flash or something)? Would changing the CSC cause any problems with anything else (Play Store, phone calls/data)?
Thanks much!

Hmm, very interesting. I wonder why Samsung would tell me differently. Perhaps it's not "officially" supported, but works anyway. I bought my phone used, so it may have had its CFC changed at some point.
Did you use the Gear VR before the August update?
If it's not too much trouble, could you post your CSC info?
i got a 930F also with german firmware (DDE) and Gear VR runs fine so it should work.
SOLVED!
It was the CSC code!
I downloaded an app called Root Essentials, and went to the CSC Editor and changed the values to match my wife's phone, and then manually invoked the setup using a shortcut creator for the Gear VR Setup Wizard service.
Before:
Country: UNITED KINGDOM
CountryISO: GB
Sales Code: BTU
After:
Country: PANAMA
CountryISO: TPA
Sales Code: TPA
I'm in the United States on AT&T, in case anyone wants to know if this fix will work for them (not sure if it matters). Anyway, everything still works and now I can use the Gear VR.
Thanks much everyone!

Hi, im unable to change firmware on my samsung galaxy note 20 ultra. Currently its UAE. I have downloaded srilanka firmware, successfully flashed it using odin. But when the phone is started it showes still on UAE. Kindly help or guide me on this issue.
Is UAE the firmware version or the CSC?
If it's the firmware version it's strange you can flash and get success then go back to the older firmware but if it's CSC then it's understandable.
You may need to look up how to change your CSC version, there are guides on here...
Flashing an OXM rom won't change your CSC but the firmware version will change.

For people who can't switch between csc in the same mult csc pack. OXM multi csc pack contains all the european generic and network branded firmware (csc) so if You are at XSG (part of OXM multi pack), and flash it with SLK (part of OXM multi pack) the XSG will stay. What you need to do is to flash it with different multi csc pack (just see what packs are available for your model), try to flash Brazil CSC ZTO, which is part of multi pack OWO. then flash it back with OXM multi pack, and it should switch to some generic csc, then if you instert your sim card it should ask you if you want to customize your phone to the inserted sim card and it will change your csc to the one you want.
Can't change the CSC of XSG
