XEO?? If you want to be first in line, use CSC NEE or DBT instead.
XEO is useless though

XEO faster then BTU uk
For s4 BTU will be always better than xeo - all froms for s4 are unbranded anyway
I dont need ota updates - custom rom and good kerenel is recomended
This board provide fastest updates than any OTA in Poland or elsewhere

XEO (Poland) is much much slower compared to DBT (Germany) and I would not recommend people to use XEO if they want the first updates. I don't understand why you recommend XEO to people while DBT is the only one that gets updated so much.
And no it's not ''faster'' as you say

i know germany is fastest
I got UK phone, and it was very slow updates
poland ones are faster
but i ment just show it works changing CSC and flashing XEO or any other faster firmware then BTU
XEO got updates not much slower then German one
I might switch to german one tho if it faster
Still would works same for me I guess
But I want OTA, so would change CSC again to german one
where can I download latest German firmware ?
thanks
why i cant change CSC from XEO to DBT using https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...kk.cscselector

Well you can flash csc with the full rom, just use csc instead of pda.

u got it wrong
I did flash DBT firmware over my S4 witch XEO CSC, used PDA 1 file, yes you can flash it, but after u still on XEO csc, so u end up witch Phone witch XEO csc and DBT firmware, means OTA will not work.
You have to flash separate csc file to change it, or root phone and use csc changer app, like i did
may b its different for S3, but I doubt it.
Flashing 1 file on s4, dont change CSC, just making different firmvare csc code on different CSC phone code, so they different, if u know what i mean...
if it would be that easy I would not ask how to change csc, just flash whatever firmware I want and it would change csc code, but It dont work like that...
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...
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.
I received a dual sim S8+ model SM-G955FD (CSC XXV) that somehow was flashed with an Italian (CSC-ITV) SM-G955F single-sim ROM ..
It works fine, even dual-sim functionality, so on itself no real issue. Even a recent OTA update went fine and did not break anything.
But I would like to flash it back to the original SM-G955FD rom for XXV. I have downloaded the proper file and flashed everything via Odin (AP, BL, CSC, CP) but somehow it now has become a SM-G955F (CSC-PHN) ..
Am getting a bit confused now .. How do I get the sodded thing back to its original CSC with Odin? The S8+ is not rooted, and Knox is not tripped.
Any help would be welcome

I'll try to explain in a simple way...
That your CSC now is PHN is CORRECT!
Since introduction of the Note 7, Samsung is using for most European countries (and some other countries) the Multi-CSC OXM.
In The Multi-CSC OXM, these CSC's are included:
ACR AFG AFR ARO ATO AUT BGL BNG BRI BTC BTU CAC CAM CHO COO DBT DKR ECT EGY EON ETL EUR GLB ILO INS ITV KSA LAO LUX LYS MID MM1 MWD MYM NEE NPL ORX PAK PHE PHN ROM SEB SEE SEK SER SIN SKZ SLK SMA STH THL THR TMC TPA TPH TTT TUN TUR WTL XEF XEH XEO XEU XFA XFE XME XSG XSP XTC XXV ZTO
As you can see, PHN & XXV (original CSC of your device) are BOTH included in the Multi-CSC OXM
Because you flashed the firmware with CSC_OXM (NOT HOME_CSC_OXM) your device was resetted. The initial set-up sees, that your SIM-card is NOT from Vietnam (XXV) so it'll use the best CSC for your SIM-card, in this case PHN.
When you have a look at the "Softwaregegevens"-screen, scroll down to "Software serviceprovider" you probably see "PHN/PHN/XXV" which is CORRECT! (The last XXV can't be changed, because this is the product-code of your device).
Because your device is using the "correct" CSC-file now (PHN), probably VoLTE & VoWiFi (when available) will work now too, as well as "NL Alert"...
You'll also (probably) receive automatically OTA-updates...
I hope, this made it some clear to you...
PS: the SM-G955FD will be released in The Netherlands too
PS2: the ROM's for the SM-G955F & SM-G955FD models are the same
Thanks for the clarification ... There is however one strange thing that remains unexplained. Phone Info identifies my phone as a SM-G955F, not a SM-G955FD ... is that perhaps because Phone Info is not able to correctly read out the phone details?

Correct...
Phone Info doesn't read the correct CSC information also...
I hope I'm allowed to piggy back this thread for a quick question relating to this.
I have the XXV dual Sim. And VMC is the CSC I need to use. I had to install it via twrp and works great.
But how do I figure out which one to flash from Odin? I'd like to see which one it'll pick closest relating to my Sim card. XAC is the Canadian but it's not included in the multi.
Can you help clarify this for me? I'm starting to understand this.
Similar question for me. Is there a way to install Canadian (Fido) CSC on an unrooted stock SMG955FD. Knox is important to me but so is wifi calling.
Help please.
thanks.

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.
