Hoping to get a hold of the generic firmware for UK Galaxy S8 Plus.
Doesn't seem to be avaialble at the usual places. Not sure if anyone with the S8 Plus arriving today can even do an extraction of the firmware for all of us with branded devices in need of flashing.

Keep in mind, most European countries are now part of the Multi-CSC OXM.
My country Netherlands (PHN); Belgium (LUX) and Germany (DBT) are receiving a firmware-update now as we speak (OTA only) -> they all have Multi-CSC OXM
If Ireland is also part of OXM and UK too (BTU), than you can't change your CSC to BTU...

I ordered my S8+ SM-G955F from the Telekom (T-Mobile DE) and their usual CSC is DTM but for some reason mine is ODX (I am not using the ordered flat rate but only its phone). After a little bit of research I found out that ODX is being used by countries like Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia. Since the updates seem to be coming really late on this one (just received 11th March while 11th April is the actual current software) I wondered whether and how I could change the CSC to DBT (open Germany) *without* voiding any warranty, so that I will receive the Open German updates. Any help appreciated.

You can't change it to DBT, because DBT is part of the Multi-CSC OXM
When you flash the DBT firmware, it'll take the 1st CSC in the OXM Multi-CSC package, and that's not DBT

Well that would be good enough, wouldn't it? All I want is a CSC that receives the OTA's a little earlier than my current ODX (DTM).

Hi, i have a s7 edge and the "generic" internation version of the exynos variant was the BTU from Uk, the one that i think got the oficial updates faster.
In the case of the G955F im not sure about that cause i think BTU did not even have the pink screen solution firmware but Netherlands got it before, is PHN the new "generic" faster csc to get the updates for the exynos version like it was with BTU for s7 edge?
Im trying to get the g955f firmware that get the oficial updates faster.
Tnx.

Don't think BTU will be around anymore. I believe XEU is the CSC for UK and Ireland.
PHN is probably a region specific CSC.
Samsung has grouped quite a few CSCs and made a multi-CSC code called OXM, so you can flash whatever (as long as it isn't carrier branded), insert a local SIM card from your country and go through the setup menu as you would normally when you flash a new ROM.
Hi, anybody know if theres any csc/multi csc that is unbranded and not part of the OXM big multi CSC?
Ive downloaded several firmwares from sammobile to try to find a unbranded firmware not "european" for the g955f and not inside the OXM, i would like to try a latinamerican unbranded firmware but it seems they r all inside the european OXM and the ones r not have all the carrier crap (splash screens and uninstalable bloatware).
Why do you want one that isn't in OXM?
I want a non OXM cause several things like bixby news and samsung members stuff sometimes appears in german and i can barely speak english lol, thats why i was looking for a latinamerica unbranded firmware but all unbrands like ARO or ZTO r inside this european multi csc so i always get OXM as default csc and i want a default english/spanish unbranded csc.
SOLVED: if anyone interested i used BVO (Bolivia) CSC and now evething is ok.

Thanks for the response.
XSA Australia is pretty good too I think.
Today I tried switching my s8+ which is an Italian unlocked model (ITV) to a United Kingdom unlocked firmware (BTU). I followed all the steps as this is not my first time flashing firmwares with Odin. I found a thread online saying that since BTU is a multi CSC , I need to flash a ROM that's is outside the multi CSC , so I decided to flash a O2 ROM , straight after flashing the BTU hoping that it would change the CSC , but it didn't instead it stood on ITV, the country/region is still on Italy too. Can anyone explain what I done wrong pls ?
Why do you even care about csc ? Install rom for your coutry "global", not branded soft and that's all...
BTU is not branded, it's unlocked with no carrier. Updates are also provided directly from Samsung. I would like to change the ROM for faster updates and features

So according to what I read it's impossible to change the CSC to BTU on the Galaxy s8 unless you have a UK Sim. This used to be possible on the s7.

But NOT possible anymore on the S8/S8+
ITV & BTU are both part in OXM. When you flash BTU-ROM, your device will stay ITV because both are in OXM...

Yes, S7 didn't use the multi-CSC, each region had it's own CSC.
But the Euro S8 has Multi-CSC, so it won't change region until you put in a SIM from that new region.
Thanks guys for helping. I just wanted to change the CSC for quicker updates and for region specific features like Bixby Voice when it gets released in the UK.
So I bought a galaxy z flip 3 from Samsung UK via the Samsung website but under settings the region, CSC is eux not BTU for the UK what does this mean?
It means you have a European edition. That's the blanket code.

On new phones, Samsung is done with country specific csc's on unlocked phones. All EU phones have the same csc, except the ones purchased through carrier.
