csc issue within btu firmware

Had issue with my note 3
But fixed finally
1/step: dowloand single csc firmware, example 3 ireland has single csc perfect for this issue.
2/step: install 3 ireland firmware via odin.
3/step: after finishing full wipe resetting the device
Complete full setup and finish everything
4/step: than download btu firmware and instal via odin
Wait for finish then when you see first samsung logo on the screen pull out the battery wait for 5to10 second then put batery back and start with recovery mode and fully reset the device
Then boot device normally, you'll have btu csc on the device

I never pull and put the batery. Is for what that????????????

I've got a non rooted N9005, originally ITV csc. I flashed NB3 Poland and now NB7 BTU. If I do a *#1234# I've got CSC: N9005OXAENB1.
If I go to stock recovery it says "Successfully applied ITV CSC".
If I want to get the original ITV CSC do I need to do something else?

I used a free tool from the play store to check mine, called Samsung Phone Info. This will tell you what CSC you have applied.

"Successfully applied ITV CSC" mean You have by default ITV from Your Rom before on file /efs/imei/mps_code dat. Is from here the csc is applied by Stock Recovery where it need.
On this file /mps_code.dat is installed the CSC by default from all Clean install Roms (full wiped before).
Then, You installed the NB7 BTU Rom, but this Rom have also the ITV. This CSC is installed well because Your default ITV on /mps_code.dat.
To see this file only whit root but You can read this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2670084
Your Rom are well, not worry.

[Q] How to change CSC to branded 920F

Hi, first flashed french 5.1.1 and now that vodafone has released the branded 5.1.1 want to back to stock (ATL) but when flash the sammobile package the csc changes to SIM (vodafone slovenia) and there´s no way to change the csc.
I´ve reading a lot and seems the ATL package is multicsc and flashing defaults to SIM. and there´s no possibility to change csc because cant root 5.1.1
Im totally stuck. Why want the branded? the operator customization and VoLTE activation.
Thanks to all

Do a factory reset in the bootloader, boot up and then flash the operator rom again

*#272*IMEI#

Tried flashing, boot, wipeall twice, flashing wipe data and cache but the multicsc stays as SIM csc...
*#272.... doesnt work in this devices.
tried to downgrade to 5.0.2 and root to change manually csc but the bootloader is upgraded keeping downgrades.
the only hope is pingpongroot or anyone can root 5.1.1 without tripping knox

Bring your S6 back to Samsung for official ROM flashing back to stock.

Only way to change CSC is to root...

Yes it is True. Please read the 1st post. OT described his problem as flashing the French 5.1.1 from his previous 5.0.2 ROM. When the 5.1.1 version of his country came and he flashed back using the ROM from Sammobile his CSC was changed. I encountered this same problem. My S6 is unrooted. Only way to change CSC on unrooted device is to root. I tried the methods above and did not work also.

Did you let the phone boot completely after flashing the new firmware and then do the wipe from recovery?

Yes I did. My unit is G920FD from Philippines. Downloaded 5.1.1 Globe Philippines (CSC:GLB) from Sammobile. After successful flash via odin with Full wipe at recovery the CSC defaulted to THL (Thailand). I tried all Phillipine-based 5.1.1 ROMs from Sammobile and flashed them all (3) with full wipe at recovery each time but sadly still CSC is still THL (Thailand).

You could try without a simcard (flash, boot up, wipe in recovery) or a different simcard. I never manage to change csc either in 1 go and the results can be different, eg sometimes I get Vodafone apps installed and sometimes not....

Will try it without a SIM card. Thanks.

I have had managed the csc change also with odin, fw flashing. BUt it took at least 10 flashing, but did it.
please note, that I have had issues after ANY of XEF firmware flasing. After XEF fw, I was very difficult to do this odin flashing method succesfully. BUT it did.
but I cannot rememe what was the sequence of this procedure. I was using 5-6 different ZIPs from sammobile.

do you have ANY idea how you did it? Are you actually sure you changed the CSC without rooting the device on a firmware that was multi CSC?

i have flashed the XEF. and that was wrong. esspecially it broke the spo2, and stress measuring... I would go back to another, BUT after XEF, I always had flashing interrupt in the HIDDEN file stage.
But after I have found a flashable FW again ( maybe SER or SEB) I was able to flash XEH, or BTU. and it was changing the XEF to SEB OR SER after wipe in recovery.
The only rom I will never flash againt is XEF.
ps: i never root this 920F

Now I was able to reproduce it twice!!! :
How it works : on devices where dialer NOT shown up CSC changer (e.g.: GS6920F) :
Go to recovery, Dial up, Home + Power
wipe cache and perform a factory reset
next is important : power down the phone. NOT to reboot.
Power on in download mode: volume down+home+power buttons
FLASH for example : BTU :
G920FXXU3COI9_G920FBTU3COJ1_G920FXXU3COI9_HOME.tar
after reboot, it will be English, and If U go to recovery it will apply BTU.
Hope it helps
p.s.: It wont works with EVERY Firmware. don't know WHY. For example :
I wanted to flash after succesfully changed the CSC from TPH to BTU, so I wanted to flash XEH....BUT that resets to TPH after XEH flash.
So at least to BTU it works specially if you are in TPH CSC !

If you do it right it will not , you have to use the right home_csc

Firmware CSC Code: ECT
Active ECT Code: ECT
CSC Country: Nigeria

Hi
you have to use the same home_csc as in the software you have installed in your phone to avoid factory reset you phone
All the info is there in the thread , read before you do any thing......and always backup just in case

Question using AP,BL,CSC instead of Home

Hi I usually download from sammobile where they have one file and I select ap it does everything itself. However I have downloaded from updato website it has given loads of small files like ap, bl, csc.. Do I use all them for the upgrade on odin or can I just up the ap?
the files are like the following: BL_G935FXXU1DQB3_CL10422490_QB12410567_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
my version on my current phone is g935fxxu1bplb

Do NOT select the regular CSC file that starts with CSC in its name, as that would replace your CSC and thus would result in a factory data reset of the device.
Click on CSC tab and select the firmware file starting with HOME_CSC in its name

You need to flash all of them (bt/ap/cp). Regarding the csc: if your csc is equal (or included in case of multi-csc roms) to the one of the rom you are going to flash (meaning: you have installed a BTU rom and you are going to flash a rom with the BTU csc) then use the home_csc as it will update the csc to its latest version without making a factory reset. If your csc doesn't match with the one of the new rom then you either use the home_csc of your actual rom or use the CSC file (bot the home) of the new one (this will factory reset your phone so backup first)

Flash Oreo on Samsung S7 with odin - how to change CSC from XEO to BTU?

Hello,
last days I flashed the new Oreo firmware for my SM-G930F, available now only for UK (BTU CSC code). I used the last odin version 3.13.1. When the firmware was flashed, after factory recet I received my old CSC code (XEO). I wrote in forums, that if I want to changthe default CSC I have to set in odin settings Repartition. So yesterday evening I decided to reflash the firmware, but now with ticked Repartiotion. When I cklicked on Start, afer one two seconds red Fail windows has been shown. Why I can't flash the firmware with set Repartition? Does somebody have an idea what went wrong?
Reasons why I want to change the CSC code by default from XEO to BTU is that BTU receives the updates at the earliest!

BTU contains XEU as it is Multi-CSC, you cannot switch between them directly
You need to flash a different region CSC not included in BTU first, then flash BTU

Which for example? Can I use one of the following: VOD or VDI? Both of them have available Oreo firmwares. Oherwise I have to downgrade to Nougat (by the way, how can I downgrade using odin?)

One with the same bootloader version as you are running, probably version 2
You can tell by this number in the firmware version
G930FXXU2ERD5
Have a look in download mode for B:2 or whatever number it says and match to the firmware
Downgrade the same way you upgrade, but use ODIN 3.12.7 for Nougat
Do not flash the VOD (vodafone) Oreo, it is bricking devices, very broken, only flash BTU Oreo

What about flashing the same firmware with odin 3.13.1, but with ticked repartition in the option? This, regarding the comments in sammobile forum works. But for me doesn't. Maybe for Oreo it doesn't work or there is something specifically to do?
I can't catch your proposal for flashing the other firmware. Can you tell me which exactly firmware I have to flash first, later on to receive BTU Oreo CSC as default?
