SM-G955FD with SM-G955F ROM? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

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.

CSC region code: ODX?!

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).

About CSC G955F

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.

Switching Firmware on Galaxy S8+

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.

TGY is Hong kong. You are only allowed to flash TGY or BRI (Taiwan) on N9750.

I haven't used it, but an app called Samkey apparently will let you change csc without root.....from what i gather, it is Not a free app.....look into it to get more info.
Sent from my God Mode 10+
Hi,
I have a N9750, according to Phone Info App:
Phone Model: SM-N9750 / Galaxy Note10+ (Dual Sim)
Made in Vietnam
Product Code: SM-N9750ZSDBRI
Frimware's CSC Code: TGY
Active CSC Code: BRI
Available CSC Codes: BRI, TGY
So, I understand that I have a BRI phone with a TGY rom and a the CSC active is from BRI.
I will do a clean flash with Odin, since my phone upgraded from Android 9 to 10, by OTA (that is why there is "mixed rom" - a BRI unit with TGY firm)
My doubts are:
1) Should I use BRI rom, is that correct?
2) After doing this flash. is better to change CSC Active to TGY? Using SamKey (someone says that it has more features)
I use the mobile in Argentina.
thanks!

The fact that i wrote this question into galaxy watch 4 device thread is not enough?
Anyway here you go
Device model - Galaxy Watch 4 44m LTE - R875F
anything else?
For your info.

No GW5 subforum...
So also Thread and posts to GW5... like SM-R900
B
SM-R875F long time no Firmware Files leaked...
Since few hours/days...

What ever this means...
So this leads to next...
C
Can you share your Firmware Version on device?
Easiest and most complete info (for me)...
Code:

D
Reason for this Verhör
With some "magic" it is possible to look on Samsung Server... for FOTA ...
Example for DBT aka Germany CSC...
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/DBT/SM-R875F/version.xml
Code:
R875FXXU1GVH1/R875FOXA1GVH1/R875FXXU1GVH1
I see OXA as Region crap...
So OLB is not the same...
Best Regards
If OLB would be correct for your SM-R875F...
Then be carefully... AUGF is older... seems oldest initial Release...
So you would Downgrade... untested for LTE.
I can only confirm Downgrade possible on SM-R870... tested from EVA8 to DUK1...
Best Regards
Edit 1.
Forgotten I have also downgrade from GVH2 back to EVA8... SM-R870

AP: R875FXXU1GVH1

After some clicking trough Google... OLB contain for instance TGY as CSC:

R875FXXU1GVH1/R875FOLB1GVH1/R875FXXU1GVH1
Ehm I have forgotten TGY... so I need more clicks...
But I see you "need" OXA Firmware...
Otherwise this old OLB can create funny problems...
