I am just wondering if anyone with a Samsung S7 Duos has received the update. Someone told me to look at the CSC code, but never explained what that would tell me.
My CSC code is: G930FOJV1BPK2
Now sure what that means or if will tell me when I can expect the OTA to nougat. Any help?
It means that you would get the OTA if your CSC firmware area has received them. I have DUOS or G930FD with XSG CSC, and this particular CSC received the updated, but I already had side loaded it so I can't say for sure when or if I was going to receive it eventually.

Thanks for the info, but what is my CSC area? And how do I check if that area got the firmware?
The CSC is the code that sets what region your phone is intended for. You can use Phone Info to look up what it is set to:

They're almost all made in Vietnam. You need to swipe across to the next tab called CSC Code and there will be a line there called Active CSC Code which will be a three letter code like THL or XSA.
It's possible to flash a different CSC and firmware fairly easily using a tool called Odin. There's lots of guides on here about how to do it. Personally I'm just being patient and waiting for it to start rolling out to more countries. But a lot of people are flashing the British CSC and firmware (BTU) to get the update now.
So the code I have is AFR (Kenya / AE) How does this help me know when / if the upgrade is available?

First off, the OS update will be available at some point. When is pretty much impossible to say. As far as I know, only a handful of CSC have recieved N OS, your best bet if you want to install it on your S7 now is by sideload it using ODIN which is a very easy process that won't affect your warranty. Look for a source of the flashable firmware (sammobile for example) and follow the instructions. There are tons of videos on YT showing the upgrade process ass well.

Can anyone provide a very detail guide on how to change from Three UK firmware to BTU on Galaxy S8+ as Three UK hasn't updated Galaxy S8+ since April. I feel very left out at the moment. I would like to change without losing data. Is there a way of doing this?

Yeah I hate this too so out of date, but I am seeing three firmware appearing on sammobile everywhere else apart from united kingdom. I was actually thinking of flashing the three firmware at one stage as I'm missing out on volte but having more up to date firmware is top priority for me
I would like to keep WiFi calling. Even though I haven't used it once. Why is Three behaving like this. Did you flash BTU version after being fed up with Three lack of updates.

NOT possible...
BTU is part of the Multi-CSC OXM where MANY European CSC's are included.
If you download for i.e. the BTU-firmware, that'll be the same firmware as for i.e. PHN (Netherlands).
You'll have to flash BL CP AP & CSC_OXM on your phone; your phone will be resetted afterwards.
The DEFAULT CSC for OXM is XEU. Your phone "sees", that an UK-SIM is included and will "switch" to the best CSC for your device, which is in this case XEU. You won't get BTU on your device...
I'll lose my data with XEU won't I

If you change your CSC, you'll ALWAYS lose your data...
Also worth noting that to keep Volte/WiFi Calling you would need to use the Three Firmware (H3G) as the OXM CSC firmware does not enable it.
I'm a Three UK customer and have tried many times to get Volte/WiFi calling working on XEU (OXM Multi CSC) with no luck. Only works when I use H3G firmware but I hate the crappy branding so sacrificed Volte for no branding.
I flashed from vodafone uk to btu but as someone said you get xeu. Updates are fast I had 3 already.
Sent from my SM-G955F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I flashed the OXM firmware from henklbr's thread, but used HOME_CSC from the last H3G firmware to keep WiFi callling

I'm on 3 had update this morning,
Latest update was pushed this morning on 3UK
Good one
flashed three firmware coming from xeu but cant send text messages lol everything else works, also the message center is grayed out so i cant manually imput the smsc number....
Just need to wait until we get August update. Probably won't be till November/ December. I hope when Beta for Android O is released. We will be able to join in on the excitement
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.

Did anyone recieve the march update in UK?
Yes
Could you tell your CSC? I have been waiting for a week and I still haven't got it. Also how is the update, does it fix the lockscreen lag with video wallpaper and lagging spotify when we open the app?

I know from the EE Community that they have got theirs which is EVR. I am also on EE but I used the EUX Firmware from Sam Mobile as it's a friendly FW to it (The EE CSC readout is EVR/EVR/EVR/EUX/EVR after all for the S22 Ultra).
If you're impatient you can use the EUX FW and utilize the HOME CSC file to make sure you keep your region carrier coding but of course means you'll be only getting OTAs from that CSC code still. If you change to a EUX CSC using the non home CSC file in ODIN you'll change CSC but also you'll wipe the entire device to do it so keep a backup handy.
This will mean you get OTAs from EUX which is usually faster, but miss any carrier specific stuff (Not much nowadays).
Can't answer the last 2 questions as I don't use video wallpaper and I use Apple Music and BBC Sounds for music which has been fine since the update.
Thank you. I am new to samsung, always been a one plus person because of the custom roms. I would love to see some developments in this area for this device.
My CSC is OXM. On researching, I found it can have any firmware. You mentioned home CSC, how did you figure that out? Does service provider software version mentions information on this?

ODIN uses these.
When you download a ROM from a place like Sam Mobile it comes in parts (See guides for the full part list), you extract the file and pick the parts ODIN needs.
The CSC comes in 2 forms in the extracted folder.
HOME CSC does not change your CSC, does not wipe a device upon update
CSC does change your CSC.
See ODIN guides for more.

It is not possible to change CSC without tripping Knox. You must unlock the bootloader to change the CSC.

Unlock the bootloader and use Odin to flash OXM firmware. OXM is multi-CSC, so you should be able to change region to India.
Don't forget you can use the Search function to look for solutions to questions that have been asked many, many times before.

If you unlock your bootloader, you can install any CSC you want, so you'd just download INS firmware and flash it using Odin.
Or, you can flash the OXM firmware and simply change the region to India, as I stated in my first reply.
Ok i got that now second major issue is that i cannot unlock my bootloader as my developers option is not showing oem unlocking
no need to unlock your bootloader to change the CSC, just use this application to do so

Can GCF based devices get ota updates i read it in someone's post that they can be only updated via odin or sideloading
GCF gives more LTE and 5G bands support so maybe that's why your phone has it set on that. You can change it to XAA as it's bloatware free and gets regular updates.

Wanted to ask it just out of curiosity....there is no way to change my csc from USA version to Indain version....by any means?
I don't think this is possible... and that's why Samsung has different variants for different countries ...
Okkk....
But by any chance u get to know that it can be changed to Indian csc please do let me know it will be very helpful
Thinking of flashing this firmware update via odin....device model number : SM-S908UZKEVZW

OP, Are you sure it is an "unlocked" version? Based on he last three charactors of the model# you provided says it is a Verizon branded phone. Yes, technically it was unlocked after 60 days, but since you are not connected to Verizon's network, that may be the reason you are not getting OTA updates.

I changed my csc code from GCF to USC and now in sim card manager settings it is showing only sim1 option and esim no sim2 option is available
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…..
