1. if any problem occured it's the best to flash stock rom..and remember before flashing custom rom for cm or speedmod sometime you need to wipe system for best result.
2. if your country is not listed, dial *#1234# and check your PDA. XX mean for German and LB1 is your firmware version.
CSC is sales code.

you can try any custom rom from gingerbread..as we know ICS/JB/KITKAT are not stable for our ace plus

Maybe you already solved the problem but just so you know:
Indian firmware has a certain bug which causes white screen issues when flashing custom rom
Then, flash a stock rom from a different country no matter if english or french or whatever (it has to be European as there are reports of the bug on arabic and chinese firmwares too)

[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 !

How to check CSC Version?
Press *#1234# to gives u the CSC Version.
You can also change the change the Consumer Software Customization (CSC) if you found that it has been not set correctly.
Firstly you need to find the IMEI Code of your Phone
Press *#06# to get the IMEI and copy it down
Press *#272*IMEI# on the dial pad
Select the desire CSC
The device will reboot automatically(Possibly factory reset)

Edit: sorry misread post don't think this will work on custom rom has to be based on stock
