2) what would happen if I flash F variant firmware on a FD device? will it work? and will the dual sim card manager also work?
THANKS!

First of all: this forum has an EXCELLENT SEARCH-function...
That said: what's your current CSC
When typing in the dialer *#1234#, what's standing behind CSC? Is OXM included?

hi mate
F and FD firmwares are the same so you can use an F csc on a FD phone
Anyhow as you are rooted already , check this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ility-flashable-csc-selection-v1-0-0-t3605264

so is it okay to change the CSC without changing the rom or rooting?

Change CSC

Hi!
I bought a G930FD unit out of my country (dual sim version is not available here).
Then I activated Samsung Pay and I faced a weird situation: the app is totally in my language, but the offers and promotions sections are all in english and contain just US offers.
Samsung support told me I won't be able to get offers and promos from my country because of my foreign CSC.
The question: What's the best option to set the CSC of my country and have less change of problems with my device? My current CSC is XSG. I would like to set it to ZTO.

I got the zip with the rom content. Inside the package, I see many files (AP, BL, CP, CSC and HOME CSC). Shall I flash them all to change the CSC?

Samsung Pay / Android Pay no longer available for latest stock firmware (ARO)?

Hello fellas,
I have just flashed latest stock firmware, and couldn't help noticing there was no Samsung Pay or Android Pay app.
When attempting to access both items through Google Play Store, it says my device is not compatible with the version available. How come this is possible? I can't think that the S7 has been outed of Samsung Pay, there has to be something else.
Could it be a problem with the CSC? My region code is ARO (Argentina Unbranded), but after checking the app Phone Info, I have realized that the CSC Installed belongs to TTT (Trinidad y Tobago) and not my region. This always happen when flashing CSC, since it's a multi-CSC, it randomly selects a region. If anyone knows a way of flashing the proper CSC through ODIN, that would be awesome.
Thanks!

Hi
Download the firmware you want, extract BL , CP and AP , now download the firmware for you country /carrier , extract from it the CSC file
not home_csc , and flash the BL , CP, AP from the first firmware with the CSC from your country
BAckup this will factory reset your phone

Thanks for replying.
The firmware I want is the one that comes with the ARO package, the problem is that such package also includes a multi-country CSC. Among those there is this ARO region I'm needing. My device is Unbranded, I won't install a CSC from a carrier.
Also, I don't have root and I'm not planning to have it either.

Hi
Sorry I read your first post again
Samsung Pay will not work again after you root your phone , if knox is set 0x1 there is no chance to make it work
Android pay is possible if knox is set but firmware is official ( no root) and if the flashed firmware (CSC) has that option
Is ARO part of the multi CSC you flashed with TTT?
You need a CSC that has Android pay , do you remember what CSC you had when it worked?

BTU (UK) i think it works , if your carrier at home offers the service you can flash any unbranded firmware (BL, CP andAP) with the CSC from your carrier
That way you can have unbranded firmware plus you carrier CSC

Yes it does, but some additional kernel modifications are still required for Knox to work. So stock firmware isn't fooled. Most custom s7 kernels have them though.

Any way to get VoLTE working with international phone?

Hello
I bought an s8+ from HK which is the dual SIM Snapdragon version (G9550). Using it here in Australia, everything works as expected as it supports all of our bands, however VoLTE does not work. I've read this is because the CSC does not match a local CSC.
Unfortunately there are no Snapdragon versions sold here, hence no firmware with the Aus CSC (XSA) that will support VoLTE (as I read you can't flash the Exynos ROM onto the Snapdragon).
Is there any way I can enable VoLTE? Can I somehow change the CSC without an official ROM? Like go into the G9550 ROM and replace the CSC with the Aus CSC?
The only other region with the Snapdragon is the US from what I can tell, which probably wouldn't enable VoLTE either.
Any advice is appreciated
Thanks.

You may root and then flash your csc zip (or simply replace the CSC files in the custom rom with your CSC files). You should get VoLTE. Download Multi CSC file from here and extract your csc.
I do the same but with India CSC on USA snapdragon models.

Thanks nimms. This is pretty much exactly what I was after, except I cannot root the phone (work required Knox so I can't trip it ). I was hoping I could do somthing like the above, only via Odin, but it sounds like you can't change the CSC without rooting the phone due to making system changes.

Hi
As far as I'm concerned, this is not possible without tripping the Knox counter. And if you try flashing the XSA CSC (via Odin), you will definitely soft brick your phone
ims setting. maybe can fix your issue ,just download a hidden app display. then you can open ins setting

Odin won't even flash it, It's pretty hard to soft brick this phone with official tools and firmware.

Odin won't flash it but if you try to flash it and after that you reboot, you will stuck at download mode. Only by flashing the correct files, will make it boot

Interesting.
Another question...the only difference I've noticed between the 9550 (HK) and 955U (US) is that the US version does not have Band 28 but the HK version does, which we do use here in Aus.
If I flashed a US firmware (which has the same S835 SoC), would I lose Band28, or would the modem still be able to use it?
EDIT: what if I only flashed the CP file (modem), is this interchangeable between the different SoCs? Could I flash the XSA CP (modem) onto another ROM, or will this soft-brick?

My IMS is saying "Not registered" in the about phone. I can't seem to do anything about it, and the hidden menu doesn't give me the option to change it.
IMS setting is located explicitly on "Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names"
The best bet you may try is to find a Samsung phone thats currently in VoLTE then copy IMS apn settings onto you phone (you manually input the settings).

Do not enter people astray, ADB Sideload It's not working - error "signature verification failed"
need ROOT
VD2-CSC-S8S8p
MY Galaxy S8+ SM-G9550, SW - G9550ZHU2AQL2
Just download an official ROM (A variant from a country that supports VoLTE) for ur model from sammobile or u might even find it on the xda forum and flash it via odin with Home CSC.
It works well... No need to root n KNOX counter wont be tripped...
PS: Backup data.. They will be lost in the process.
Now we're talking about ADB, not ODIN or TWRP.
Flash via ADB Sideload - not possible. You understand me. Smartphones snapdragon not flash Exynos SW. You can only edit an existing profile CSC or add new CSC.
Example:
my smartphone TGY (snapdragon model SW)
but I live in the region of SER (EXYNOS MODEL SW)

Right, My bad... I missed the international part itself...
But as far as i know, Exynos CSCs also dont go with the Snapdragon CSCs... I could be wrong.

CSC Changing Help

I have the G955FD on the BRI (Taiwan) firmware. I live in Australia, and really want to use Samsung pay. How should I change my CSC from BRI to XSA? I've seen varying information here and on other sites. I want to keep my Google Play as Certified, still have OTAs and without tripping KNOX. Essentially like a standard phone from this region. I don't particularly care about Dual-SIM, but it'd be nice to still have.
Here is my current software information: imgur(dot)com/a/197z5 <-- I can't post links yet, remove this if not allowed.
Thanks for helping

Hi mate
Without root there are not many options ..
First F and FD firmwares are compatibles ( same device!! exynos to exynos) , you can flash an F firmware into an FD or vice versa
you could try to change your CSC to your SIM card CSC first
Check here
On the thread it shows how to add your SIM CSC to your current CSC config , if it work you may end up with a configuration like BRI/BRI/XSA , in my case I got TPA/TPA/PCW , TPA was the software default and PCW sims CSC. I do not have Samsung pay so i do not know if that change will be enough to make it work. Back up you need to factory reset for this.
The other option is to flash a full XSA firmware ( use a G955F firmware) , read here how to do it
BACK UP before you do anything

Great news mate!!
Firmware is 100% same for F and FD so you should not see any difference at all , I asume also you got Samsung Pay working.
Good job!
I did the same when I had s8+. flashed TEL (Telstra) SM-G955F firmware which I got off Sammobile and worked like a treat. Samsung pay, VoLTE, Wifi Calling, Spam detection in calls worked as well.
I upgraded to S9+ and tried to do the same. The flash process works fine but CSC doesn't change. I am stuck on AFG CSC. Apparently it cant be done on S9 as Samsung is imposing multi CSC format.
Well, you are lucky one to have S8+. Enjoy

That's unfortunate
I'm curious why you flashed TEL instead of XSA, XSA is the unlocked version and it still has WiFi calling, VoLTE etc. I have an ALDImobile SIM (which uses Telstra) but I installed the unlocked version to have minimal bloatware and the stock boot logo.

I tried both. First preference is always XSA but I tried TEL in anticipation that it may work

I have a similar problem to switch CSC on a friend's A52s to INS.

Then CSC change with SamFW works.

It was not a bug that samsung needed to fix. It is intended to enroll indian users only as update targeted for India
If you read discussion here, you can find, simply changing CSC didn't worked to enroll for beta programme.
Myself from India only so i haven't personally needed to change CSC though.

Ok.
Misunderstanding from my side.
To change CSC - no SIM needed.
To switch to beta program - SIM is needed. Maybe eSIM will be enough to do the trick? $5 https://www.airalo.com/india-esim

If i change csc to BTU it will change automatically to EUX but not a full change because i still have the operator coding EVR. All i get after reflashing csc is EUX/-/EUX/EVR and no ota updates. From what i have reed Samsung has changed BTU with EUX for faster updates at least for S22 Ultra.

Samkey and SamFW use same method, so result will be the same.
I have a similar problem to switch CSC on a friend's A52s to INS.
I deside to tried with ODIN and download desired INS CSC FW via Frija.
Update (even same same FW as currently on device) with BL, AP, CP and HOME_CSC (not CSC_) files, so data will remain.
Then CSC change with SamFW works.
P.S.
No India SIM was used (in my experience with SamFW and Samkey, before there was a different method gor CSC change with foreign SIM but it was fix by Samsung August 2019).
Keep in mind that INS sent 1 sms via every new card, so you can block these numebes in advance via Phone > (dos) > Settings > Block numbers

this is my issue that I faced with S22U, if you can kindly check that.
some people managed to change csc using samfw with no issues, but could not find anyone who changed the Korean Variant S908N from KTC to KOO.
So do you suggest to try your steps ?

KTC and KOO are in N model, so you can try.
The firwares are original.
If your device is network locked to sim cards of your oprator - it may not work, but you can flash back to KTC.

no the phone is not locked to a sim.
right now I'm outside of Korea and I'm using the phone with a non Korean provider and it is working fine.
I'm just trying to change csc to be able to remove the ktc bloatware and settings from the device.
Anyways so i will need to use Odin to flash these files : BL, AP, CP and HOME_CSC (not CSC_) files.
then after that the phone will restart then I change csc with samfw?

Anyone has SamKey credits? I'm trying to change my CSC from ZTO to INS to get access to the Indian Beta program, but Samfw didn't work for me. I would be very glad if someone could help me

ZTO here too (Brazil of course). Why don't you install INS firmware under ZTO (using the update from 01/08 that is the same here and HOME_CSC to keep your data unmodified)?
After that, install the beta update through ADB or Alliance. I did that and worked like a charm.

P.S.
Another friend with A13 (SM-A137F) EUX could not change at beginning.
Flash with EGY and then changed successfully to EGY with call recording.

I just checked Samfirm and for A13, EUX and EGY belong to different multiCSC (OXM and OJM)
So it makes sense that u need to flash EGY firmware first to change from OXM to OJM
In his case, all Korean CSCs, including unlocked KOO, belong to OKR multiCSC, and I heard that Samsung specifically blocked CSC changes with Samfw and Samkey in newer phones (S21/S22 etc) for Korea (N model).
