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
you can change your CSC but you need to be root , check here

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 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.
I have the G955FD on the BRI (Taiwan) firmware. I live in Australia, and really want to use Samsung pay. How should I change my CSC from BRI to XSA? I've seen varying information here and on other sites. I want to keep my Google Play as Certified, still have OTAs and without tripping KNOX. Essentially like a standard phone from this region. I don't particularly care about Dual-SIM, but it'd be nice to still have.
Here is my current software information: imgur(dot)com/a/197z5 <-- I can't post links yet, remove this if not allowed.
Thanks for helping

Hi mate
Without root there are not many options ..
First F and FD firmwares are compatibles ( same device!! exynos to exynos) , you can flash an F firmware into an FD or vice versa
you could try to change your CSC to your SIM card CSC first
Check here
On the thread it shows how to add your SIM CSC to your current CSC config , if it work you may end up with a configuration like BRI/BRI/XSA , in my case I got TPA/TPA/PCW , TPA was the software default and PCW sims CSC. I do not have Samsung pay so i do not know if that change will be enough to make it work. Back up you need to factory reset for this.
The other option is to flash a full XSA firmware ( use a G955F firmware) , read here how to do it
BACK UP before you do anything

Thank you very much! I'm now running XSA/XSA/XSA with a flash. Dual-SIM support is still there which surprised me. There were some issues with Odin, but I fixed them up after a while.

Great news mate!!
Firmware is 100% same for F and FD so you should not see any difference at all , I asume also you got Samsung Pay working.
Good job!
I did the same when I had s8+. flashed TEL (Telstra) SM-G955F firmware which I got off Sammobile and worked like a treat. Samsung pay, VoLTE, Wifi Calling, Spam detection in calls worked as well.
I upgraded to S9+ and tried to do the same. The flash process works fine but CSC doesn't change. I am stuck on AFG CSC. Apparently it cant be done on S9 as Samsung is imposing multi CSC format.
Well, you are lucky one to have S8+. Enjoy

That's unfortunate
I'm curious why you flashed TEL instead of XSA, XSA is the unlocked version and it still has WiFi calling, VoLTE etc. I have an ALDImobile SIM (which uses Telstra) but I installed the unlocked version to have minimal bloatware and the stock boot logo.

I tried both. First preference is always XSA but I tried TEL in anticipation that it may work

Hi guys,
I've got the brand new SM-N9860 (Note 20 Ultra 5G) that is TGY/TGY, TGY. This is Hongkong version of the firmware. It lacks two features I used to - native call recording and network speed indicator at the top. I've migrated to CHC (Open China) version and got both
Also CHC version looks much cleaner - you can uninstall all that China software and it has no Google software as sell (no Google Play etc.).
How to do it (no root required, Knox is intact etc., but phone will be factory reset):
1. You need to downgrade from lates TGY to July BRI (yes, BRI) version of the firmware (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nge-csc-sm-n9860-ds-n20u-5g-hongkong-t4163363)
2. After BRI is installed and up, download the latest CHC (I used Frija - https://github.com/SlackingVeteran/frija, use "CHC" for CSC field)
3. Using ODIN (3.14.4), write the firmware (here some tips - https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...to/ath3-official-stock-fw-updateodin-t4143909), use CSC_... for CSC (not HOME)
Now I have the call recording and network speed indicator out of the box
Tested some sensitive apps: Android Auto - works fine (checked with a car). Google Pay - works fine.

Wait a minute....
Are you suggesting to...
A) Move from Latest TGY ROM (in my case ATJ1) to July BRI firmware ATGM.... right?
B) Now when July BRI (Taiwanese) Firmware is Flashed and phone is running. You are suggesting to download latest CHC (Open China) firmware and flash ONLY CSC (OF CHINESE FIRMWARE CHC) and not the rest of 2 files AP & CP??
Does a CSC of other region work with AP Firmware of another region if the phone model remains same (SM-N9860)??
Will it unlock native call recording and other features?
Will it update in future as well?
If it updates then will the CSC be updated aswell? And it remains CHC or revert back to BRI?
Please guide us through.
I am asking this because I already did migrate to CHC firmware two weeks ago and I didn't had to goto July BRI. I was at August TGY firmware and I simply flashed the CHC firmware and got Native call recording and that network indicator too but then there was heaps of bloatware and all Firmware actually was for Chinese people with everything in chines, samsung member, no Netflix, no samsung pass, many thing in Chinese, country name of phone numbers in Chinese, difference in phone number formats and many more. It was so irritating so I switched back to TGY.
Please tell us of you have some different experience or work around. I need my phone to keep updating as well.

A - correct
B - no, you need to flash all the components (BL, AP etc.). I had "TGY/TGY, TGY", now I have "CHC/CHC, CHC/TGY"
You can't update CSC only (ODIN will show the error and will not proceed)
With CHC you have all the OTA features. I'm sure that after the update you'll keep CHC.
Actually, the only drawback of the CHC I've noticed to date - "Yellow pages" tab and country name in the Phone app (but I prefer True Phone, so it doesn't matter). All the bloatware can be uninstalled (moreother - TGY installs Google apps, that I don't use like Photo etc.), keyboard should be switched to Swiftkey or Samsung. I've downloaded Netflix apk (from 4pda) and it works well. I see no single reason to switch back to TGY or BRI.
The only item to be checked left is Android Auto in a car (it could be a stumbling block).
If you like TGY, you can try the following trick - write CHC (it has OZL CSC - N9860OZL1ATI3), after that use SamKEY to change CSC to TGY (it should work with OZL, and doesn't work with OZS), after that use ODIN to write TGY (except CSC), and after that - revert back CSC from TGY to CHC using SamKEY. I haven't tried it, just an idea.

I'm sure it has been mentioned time and time again that the Snapdragon models of the N20U doesn't have esim activated by default. Only Samsung can activate it. They did not do it on the S20 Snapdragon series and I don't think they will on the N20.

////////
All Galaxy S20 phones (S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra) have the required hardware built-in.
But in a few regions, and in a few carrier models, the eSIM support was disabled. For this reason, we did not include eSIM support as a top 5 new features of Galaxy S20.
So, Galaxy S20 is eSIM-capable. But it may be disabled in the firmware by a few distributors or carriers."

The Note 20 Ultra uses NXP's conbined chipset which includes...embedded...UWB, NFC, SIM and eSIM. And the drivers for eSIM are installed in the phones. Samsung has software deactivated the eSIM...

BRI, TGY, CHC do not support Esim as none of the snapdragon versions has esim activated, thanks to Samsung.
Confirming - no eSim support on TGY, BRI (October update) and CHC (September update)
Just to add,the HK models are dual physical sim not eSim. Folks chasing something that doesn't exist lol.

Hello to everyone,
I have followed Andriy_ 's procedure and now I am experimenting the good and the bad of CHC ROM. The only very annoying problems I am getting are with Google Maps continuously crashing after getting the right GPS position, Google Pay not working at the end of the certification of a credit card and one of my 3 bank's accounts apps saying that it is not compatible with my phone (Safety Net Check fails ("Basic integrity" and "CTS Profile Match")). Everything was obviously working like a charm with original (Hong Kong) rom. I think that there is no solution, maybe Google does not certify chinese ROMs....Any help?

You don't need to do step 1. You can flash directly to a CHC room. That's what I did before.

Yes, because this specific room is not google certified, a requirement to use secured google services. This is one of the reasons that made me go back to TGY/BRI. Also it doesn't have the Samsung Pass and you can't get rid of the Chinese yellowpage service in the phone app (unless you use 3rd party phone app as the default).
I have no issues with Google Maps and Google Pay works fine on CHC... Have you installed Play market?

Yes, downloaded from a well known and reliable APK repository (Google Play Store, Play Services and Framework)
I've installed Play market only. Maybe this is the difference?
