You have to use CSC file to make sure that the csc changes , it will factory reset your phone

And what home_csc file did you use ( country)??
If you use CSC ( not home_csc ) for sure will change the csc code as CSC contains a pit file , with home_csc usually keeps the last active csc code

Thanx max sorted it .. took it back to 3 uk stock from sammobile then flashed it with the BTU UK firmware after ..cheers m8 x

Manual Nougat Update for SM-G930F Germany

Hello.
Is it possible to use Nougat UK firmware G930FXXU1DPLT for my unlocked german phone. It currently has G930FXXU1BPLB. The phone CSC is DBT with CSC country of Germany/DE. Country of Origin: made in Vietnam.
I did search but can't confirm from what I've read so far.
Thank you.

Yes you can just did it some hours ago and it's working like a charm

Ok, I flashed nougat and all went well.
I used the lasted firmware from here: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=38264056ECF011E69215FA163EE8F90B
Country/Region: United Kingdom
PDAG930FXXU1DQB3
CSCG930FOXA1DQB1
PhoneG930FXXU1DQB1
However, my csc is still DBT instead of BTU. I checked "re-partition" per instructions here: https://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30800
How do I get BTU to stick? I even tried going into recovery and wiping and factory resetting. It didn't work.

Why do you ant BTU?
The BTU is a Multi-CSC which also beside others include the DBT-CSC.
I think soon we will have the offical Nougat DBT then you might need to flash again with Odin, if you want to have OTA-Updates.
Also you do not have to enable "Re-Partition". Just flash with the normal CSC (not the HOME_CSC if you want to change your CSC) but keep in mind that with flashing the normal CSC all data on the internal ROM is lost.

Thanks for the reply.
I wanted BTU because I've read on several posts that I won't receive OTA updates if CSC is crossed with BTU and DBT. I also wanted samsung apps to stop defaulting to Deutschland since I can't read it.
Thanks again.

I have a DBT S7 and I flashed the BTU version as well. Just select Home CSC and it will keep all your data saved. If you select CSC_ it will erase the phone. Also the apps are in German based on location. You will need a VPN to use some apps in English

Question:
Firmware for Germany has now been released. Should I now download the Germany firmware and replace my BTU (UK) firmware? Or since only the CSC file seem to be different, should I Odin just the CSC file?

That said: what's your current CSC
When typing in the dialer *#1234#, what's standing behind CSC? Is OXM included?

hi mate
F and FD firmwares are the same so you can use an F csc on a FD phone
Anyhow as you are rooted already , check this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ility-flashable-csc-selection-v1-0-0-t3605264

so is it okay to change the CSC without changing the rom or rooting?

Samsung Pay / Android Pay no longer available for latest stock firmware (ARO)?

Hello fellas,
I have just flashed latest stock firmware, and couldn't help noticing there was no Samsung Pay or Android Pay app.
When attempting to access both items through Google Play Store, it says my device is not compatible with the version available. How come this is possible? I can't think that the S7 has been outed of Samsung Pay, there has to be something else.
Could it be a problem with the CSC? My region code is ARO (Argentina Unbranded), but after checking the app Phone Info, I have realized that the CSC Installed belongs to TTT (Trinidad y Tobago) and not my region. This always happen when flashing CSC, since it's a multi-CSC, it randomly selects a region. If anyone knows a way of flashing the proper CSC through ODIN, that would be awesome.
Thanks!

Download the firmware you want, extract BL , CP and AP , now download the firmware for you country /carrier , extract from it the CSC file
not home_csc , and flash the BL , CP, AP from the first firmware with the CSC from your country

Thanks for replying.
The firmware I want is the one that comes with the ARO package, the problem is that such package also includes a multi-country CSC. Among those there is this ARO region I'm needing. My device is Unbranded, I won't install a CSC from a carrier.
Also, I don't have root and I'm not planning to have it either.

Hi
Sorry I read your first post again
Samsung Pay will not work again after you root your phone , if knox is set 0x1 there is no chance to make it work
Android pay is possible if knox is set but firmware is official ( no root) and if the flashed firmware (CSC) has that option
Is ARO part of the multi CSC you flashed with TTT?
You need a CSC that has Android pay , do you remember what CSC you had when it worked?

BTU (UK) i think it works , if your carrier at home offers the service you can flash any unbranded firmware (BL, CP andAP) with the CSC from your carrier
That way you can have unbranded firmware plus you carrier CSC

Yes it does, but some additional kernel modifications are still required for Knox to work. So stock firmware isn't fooled. Most custom s7 kernels have them though.

Question Samkey credits

Anyone has SamKey credits? I'm trying to change my CSC from ZTO to INS to get access to the Indian Beta program, but Samfw didn't work for me. I would be very glad if someone could help me

use SamFw_FRP_Tool_v3.1 for free to change CSC

You won't be able to enroll beta by just changing CSC, you also needs SIM from Indian operator.

No India SIM was used (in my experience with SamFW and Samkey, before there was a different method gor CSC change with foreign SIM but it was fix by Samsung August 2019).

Samkey and SamFW use same method, so result will be the same.
I have a similar problem to switch CSC on a friend's A52s to INS.
I deside to tried with ODIN and download desired INS CSC FW via Frija.
Update (even same same FW as currently on device) with BL, AP, CP and HOME_CSC (not CSC_) files, so data will remain.
Then CSC change with SamFW works.

It was not a bug that samsung needed to fix. It is intended to enroll indian users only as update targeted for India
If you read discussion here, you can find, simply changing CSC didn't worked to enroll for beta programme.
Myself from India only so i haven't personally needed to change CSC though.

Ok.
Misunderstanding from my side.
To change CSC - no SIM needed.
To switch to beta program - SIM is needed. Maybe eSIM will be enough to do the trick? $5 https://www.airalo.com/india-esim

PS : Indian doesn't only mean person from india, It is relating to India, or its people, customs, or languages.

This is what i'm trying to do but in UK. I'm currently on EE on my s22 ultra and I have tried a way to enroll to beta program.
If i change csc to BTU it will change automatically to EUX but not a full change because i still have the operator coding EVR. All i get after reflashing csc is EUX/-/EUX/EVR and no ota updates. From what i have reed Samsung has changed BTU with EUX for faster updates at least for S22 Ultra.

KTC and KOO are in N model, so you can try.
The firwares are original.
If your device is network locked to sim cards of your oprator - it may not work, but you can flash back to KTC.

no the phone is not locked to a sim.
right now I'm outside of Korea and I'm using the phone with a non Korean provider and it is working fine.
I'm just trying to change csc to be able to remove the ktc bloatware and settings from the device.
Anyways so i will need to use Odin to flash these files : BL, AP, CP and HOME_CSC (not CSC_) files.
then after that the phone will restart then I change csc with samfw?

ZTO here too (Brazil of course). Why don't you install INS firmware under ZTO (using the update from 01/08 that is the same here and HOME_CSC to keep your data unmodified)?
After that, install the beta update through ADB or Alliance. I did that and worked like a charm.

I just checked Samfirm and for A13, EUX and EGY belong to different multiCSC (OXM and OJM)
So it makes sense that u need to flash EGY firmware first to change from OXM to OJM
In his case, all Korean CSCs, including unlocked KOO, belong to OKR multiCSC, and I heard that Samsung specifically blocked CSC changes with Samfw and Samkey in newer phones (S21/S22 etc) for Korea (N model).
