First of all, sorry if this has been answered here, I simply can't find a definitive answer for our S6, let me explain better.
As you may know, I'm not a newbie here or in other forums, I've rooted most of my phones (Not this one) and have installed custom roms dozens of times to all of them, BUT, I'm definitely a newbie about what I need here, I'm trying to see if I can change my SM-G920i region from XSA (Australia) to any other one, India in this case. I have read tons of threads and posts and that's what is confusing me, in some threads there are people saying that they did it and is working great, in that same threads there are people saying that they did it but Knox got tripped, there are others that say that the device is soft bricked and others are saying that they have read somewhere that changing the CSC from it's original one may brake future Samsung pay.
So, this phone is paid by my office, they allow me to do what I want to it while I'm able to just put it back as it came from factory, so that means that I can root it if it doesn't trip Knox, that I can install anything while I can simply go back anytime they need me to, and obviously, Samsung pay works when it finally comes. With this in mind, can somebody answer me a couple of questions?
1-) I know it's possible to do it, but is it true that by doing this I'll have Samsung pay issues? I doubt that knox will be tripped if I do it with odin, but besides knox, is there any possibility that Samsung Pay will not work in certain regions (India in this case) and that's why some are saying that it will break it?
2-) If I download the firmware and flash it via Odin, I'm reading that it won't brick the phone is done via Odin, but in worst case scenario I assume that I can always go back to original one and it gets factory reset, am I right?
3-) If I flash it correctly as I expect an it doesn't brick, does this means that it will change PDA and CSC versions all together, that it will basically become a device from the new flashed region? So if I flash the India one to my XSA (Australia) now it will work completely as an India device and should get future OTA like the rest?
Again, sorry if this has been asked and answered but going back a lot of pages here can't give me definitive answer, thanks in advance for those of you kind enough to answer to this.

In another thread that I have posted (Brazilian one) I was replied to, so because of that I decided to do it, so far everything is working great as expected. Mine was an Australian baseband (XSA), only thing you I noticed is that when I connect it to Smart Switch app for PC or MAC it will still detects the Original CSC, I was curious about it and installed Phone info apk and it shows correctly the information, both PDA and CSC are now from India but it shows that the Original CSC was XSA (In my case), Firmware's CSC code is INU (India) and Active CSC code it says XSA/INU, so I'm assuming that it's showing multiple CSC.
Does somebody know if having the Active CSC showing XSA/INU causes future OTA issues?
After flashing a ROM its good practice to go to recovery mode and do a full wipe of cache and full reset to change CSC to the default of the ROM you flashed.

Well, in that case I think I will pass for now, as I did a Full wipe cache and Full reset before the Flash but just did a Wipe cache after I flashed it.
The issue is that I basically just finish setting everything back as it was before (about 3 hours and I still haven't set my Contacts Ringtones and Accounts links) so begin again it's a PITA. Once I finish this I'll do a full nandroid backup to have everything as I want, but if I do the Wipe Data/Full Reset and then restore from the Full backup, does this put everything as it was including CSC again? I've been always confused about how deep this restore goes in the system files. Do you know about it?
Thanks.
Try restoring from your backup after the full wipe from recovery. If everything works then you should be ok. Otherwise start from scratch and reinstall everything one by one.
Will try that later today, thanks.
Goodluck.

I tried that and nothing, still the same, then I decided to remove the Re-activation Lock in Find My Mobile settings, and after that and enter to recovery mode, it changed the CSC to India, so for those of you with same issues, remember about Re-activation lock.
Thanks for your help.
Did you have a SIM card inserted when you flashed your ROM with removed reactivation lock?
I had the SIM card on the phone today all the time as I forgot to bring with me the SIM removal tool and didn't have anything to open the Sim card tray, but last night I didn't have the Sim card installed when I flashed the ROM.
So today after I did the Wipe cache Partition and Data and saw that it still had the same issue, I flashed a UK ROM into a SM-G925f that had some African country ROM (have never heard of it before in my life but for the name it sounded like an African country), anyways I did that and everything went great, so that's when I thought what was different between the devices and then I remember that I had turned on the Reactivation lock in my S6 and not in the S6 Edge, so I turned it off, then went to Recovery mode and for my surprise the CSC was already changed without any other reset or anything.

can you post a screen of CSC page of Phone ** info ** just for reference?
I see you said that CSC changed to India, but Active CSC or also Original CSC?
What I mean is that, now I have a S6 which has Original, Active CSC as MRU...I'd like to put a European fw on it since I'm based in Europe (got this Middle East / Africa phone just because Dual sim it's not available in europe) but I'm in doubt if putting an european fw will still show that CSC has changed from original one and maybe OTA updates won't work.
thanks
Changing csc!!!
I succesfully installed a G920I indian INU rom in my device which had a XSA rom but when i go to recovery it still shows as XSA ....How do i change that to INU?
Hi i am using a galaxy s6edge+ and i am really struggling with the region lock. I have tried a few options of the factory full reset changing the Apn's to the ones needed and using different sim cards.when it used to go into emergency mode "h+" now it won't connect to any internet at all. Can i possibly have any basic assistance with the rom and resetting options to change the csc when i do a hard reset the csc says it's 'multi'. what does that mean? Any region unlocking help would be appreciated so much!
Thanks guys
Hi there,
Recently, I've been having mobile data problems with my s6 duos
I've got an s6 duos from globe, so 1 sim slot is locked to globe and the other sim slot is open line. Recently I've been having problems connecting to mobile data using my smart sim card. In the data service network, the option to choose smart for mobile data is locked/unavailable, so I can only use my globe simcard for mobile data. I've tried using a different sim but no luck.
I was able to use my smart sim for mobile data in the past. Though I have no problem receiving texts or calls with my smart sim
Advice is much appreciated
Thanks
Also, in APN under my smart sim, I get this message
"Unable to view the access point name settings. Access is restricted for the current user profile."

My guess... flash BTU ... latest UK g920F firmware. Its kind of imposible to lock 1 sim and the 2nd sim to be unlocked.
Edit: you may lost warranty after this... and this is only my guess.
Edit2: flash a costom recovery... do a full backup so if something goes wrong you restore everything

Thanks for replying! I've never really done something like that before.. so if you could give me links and let me know what are the risks of flashing?
also my unit was purchased locally in the philippines, will a uk firmware work with it?

I had the g920FD... the phone use one EFS for both imeis. I said it cannot be 1 sim lock and 1 seem free. The phone for sure contain something installed from provaider to restrict the sim1. I would flash new version. But as i said 1st ill flash recovery to do full nandroid backup
My goal would be to install Cyanogenmod on my SM-G920R7, but haven't been able to find too much help. Any of the rooting methods that seem to work on rest of the S6 variants, doesn't seem to work on this one. There is no TWRP available that I know of.
I would really appreciate any possible help. Thanks in advance.
i have the same problem
I think that this version of the s6 (the cspire version) isn't widely available enough and no one has bothered to make a root for it - ive been searching for a long time and still haven't found anything
I'd like to at least be able to root this thing.. On 5.1.1 now.
I have a rooted cellphone of this version (I purchased it rooted), is there any workaround to unlock GSM/LTE bands on this device?
----
Edit... Okay, so I went back to fresh stock with SmartSwitch, then flashed twrp-3.0.0-0-zerofltespr and Unikernel-v9b-BOH1-920P-100815 via odin 3.10.7, and rooted again... any method to enable gsm on this device yet?

Yes, it was SM-G920R7... first, I flashed twrp-3.0.0-0-zerofltespr , then Unikernel-v9b-BOH1-920P-100815 , both via ODIN (you can google both files), note these files are NOT for r7 version (they're for sprint version *g920p*) but they'll root the phone.
I ended up getting rid of the phone as there's afaik no way to enable gsm on it

That's not true. I finally rooted that model and got TWRP installed, and followed the steps to get the Sprint Galaxy S4 domestic SIM unlocked. I finally got data and texting working last night, but I can't get calls to work for some reason on an AT&T SIM card. It even shows up at AT&T as my provider. AFIK it is now SIM unlocked, the only thing not working is calls like I said. I'm sooooo close to getting this working. I need people with this phone that are doing the same thing i'm doing! I only paid $50 for it! lol
Can u help me get mine unlocked , ive already rooted the phone.

Wonder if anyone has got calls working using GSM sim card? I have the cspire G920R7 rooted with LTE data working using AT&T sim.
Won't receive calls (straight to vmail) and when placing calls dialer says CALL ENDED immediatly after dialing.
hmmm.

I'm working on this too. So far I've got the same situation as you, Data works but no calls/text.
in a few weeks the person who wants me to unlock this phone for them is switching carriers and plans on buying a new phone to use until I can unlock the S6, so I'll have more time to mess with it then.
There's a few things I want to try, but I can't post links here (XDA rules).
One involves Rooting and using a service code to unlock the bands (google "TeamUSCellular GSM unlock S6")
The other also requires rooting and involves using "galaxy tools" to unlock the bands (not sure if this app works with marshmallow, though) (google "theandroidsoul how to sim unlock sprint galaxy S6")
My hopes are not high for getting this phone to work fully. I've also been trying to get custom ROMs to work, but I can't get the cell radio to work at all on custom ROMs. Even with the stock SM-G920R7 Kernel straight from the latest update .tar

Thanks for the suggestion, yeah I have tried galaxy tools (GT) to change the phone mode to LTE/GSM auto and tried different CSC values, and accessed the hidden menus through there. The sim unlock in GT asks for a code which I dont know, but the phone doesn't seem to be locked anyway since it doesn't care when I try different sim cards. Weird thing is the GT app doesn't work very well (most hidden menus not working) on the current rom i'm using but worked better on the stock cspire rom. Note, I tried using MSL 000000 in ##3282# data menu and it works but most the settings in there don't seem to be applicable to GSM networks.
Currently I'VE been messing with the build.prop file, also tried the CDMA to GSM flashable zip which edits the build.prop but nothing has gotten better. One time after editing the build.prop the phone would only turn on with a blank screen and vibrate every few seconds, that was SCARY. Also was planning on flashing other radio/modem but having trouble finding many of those files and pulling them from roms seems difficult to get the correct file to flash on odin.

I'm not sure you'll even be able to flash other models' modem..? I can't say I've ever tried.
Anyway, getting your hands on the firmware is easy. Just use SamFirm (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647)
To use it, just input the model number (SM-G920R7/R4/P/V/T/A) and the region code, then select "auto".
Region codes and model numbers:
C-Spire: ACG (SM-G920R7)
US-Cellular: USC (SM-G920R4)
Sprint: SPR (SM-G920P)
Verizon: VZW (Locked out from download, app can't download) (SM-G920V)
T-mobile: TMB (SM-G920T)
ATT: ATT (Locked out from download, app can't download) (SM-G920A)
This app downloads firmwares directly from Samsung servers, so the download is really fast and guaranteed to be perfect/stock.
**the SM-G920R7 is closest related to the SM-G920R4 (US Cellular) & SM-G920P (Sprint). The US Cellular one recently supports GSM Bands natively without any rooting/messing with hidden settings, so that's where i'd start. You may not even need the baseband/modem, just flash the rom? I'm not sure. Good luck dude It'd be awesome if you get it working
*** Also, make sure you have a backup of your EFS before messing with the modem. Apparently if you flash an incompatible modem you can erase/corrupt the EFS partition and lose your IMEI. Hell, make a FULL backup with TWRP, and make sure that backup is copied over to your computer before doing any flashing. You can't be too careful with this.
Haven't had any luck flashing stock firmware or modems from other models using Odin, errors with a security message or something, tried G920A and G920R4. Probably for the best I suppose. Flashing custom roms has not been a problem, even if the don't work properly. Wonder if there is a test mode or way to use logcat to see why calls don't proceed like normal. Never worked on going CDMA to GSM before, I always did CDMA to CDMA in the past.
I bought a used Note 20 Ultra (Exynos) which is unlocked to all networks, (so works fine) but still has the original Vodafone Service provider software, which means every time I reboot it tries (and fails) to load a Vodafone mobile calling plan.
Now I've uninstalled the preloaded 'My Vodafone' app, done numerous wipe and restarts, I've even used Odin and Installed the carrier free BTU (UK) firmware from 1st of Nov but the Vodafone crap is still there, even after installing the BTU firmware with my EE sim card installed.
I'm at a loss on how to remove this Vodafone rubbish. And the help guides to change the CSC by *#272* imei etc doesnt work on my handset.
In the screen shot you will see the Service Provider SW Ver is VOD/VOD/VOD/EUX/VOD.
Even now on the 1stNov BTU firmware it still says VOD/VOD/VOD/EUX/VOD
Does anyone know how to remove this so I can just have a stock UK/EU firmware?
Thanks.
So after doing a bit of research, I managed to change the csc to BTU, apart from the last listing.
Can anyone help with this please?

The vodafone bloat is probably linked to your sim card, install a package into app and see (select system processes from 3 for menu) and get a list of ALL apps, then it'll be easier to see if there is something in the firmware and then just uninstall it via adb.
Reason why it tries to load a Vodafone plan it's mostlikely last owner of the phone used E-SIM it's electronic sim. Go into settings then go to where you manage SIM 1 and 2. There you can manage e-SIM check if a plan is added there if it is then remove it so the phone will stop loading it.

I think you might be right, but no matter what I try, I cannot or don't have the option of removing the Vodafone bloat.. There isn't anything listed in sim 2 or esim, but when I access the esim field/ option it tries to load a Vodafone plan. Just like when the phone is restarted.
I've attached two screen shots.
Appreciate the help
And you have done factory reset?
Skickat från min SM-N986B via Tapatalk
The last is changing if you put a Sim card and when you reset the phone on startup it asks that it found a sim card and if you want to switch to that , or is that only for country csc ?
Use frija or sammobile to download UK firmware without Vodafone.
Initially I did download the BTU version of the latest firmware release, and that installed correctly, with a clean wipe, but the VOD csc remained all intact.
I then bought and used Samkey, to change the csc to BTU (uk unbranded) and that has got me to where I am now, with the last csc entry still listed as VOD, and what looks like a 'baked' in esim plan.
I didnt do a fresh wipe when I used Samkey. And I've never owned a VOD simcard. It is running fine with EE sim. Apart from this last bit of Vodafone carp.
Do you think another full wipe and install will remove this last bit of Vodafone? Now the csc is changed?
Thanks
Update:
As much as I hate wiping and reinstalling, I bit the bullet, and used odin to install btu yet again. This is the first time since using samkey, and this time I put two sim cards in the tray. One BT (EE), and the other giffgaff (O2). Before flashing.
Now the VOD (Vodafone) csc entry is still present, but it looks like all the carrier esim & app data has gone.
I think that's as good as it's going to get. I just don't know how to remove that last csc entry.

My guess, is that the person rooted his phone.!
So if you root your phone, you most probably
can change it.!
My point /post was about flashing Stock firmware. No root.
Good luck.

Ok, I understand and that person probably rooted the phone indeed!
But I guess when you root your phone and are able to get rid of it then it should be able to change it as well because hardcore means that you never can change it or remove it otherwise it isn't a HARDCORE! Because that person told me he does everything with kernel and not rooted
So I guess it should be possible as well with a flash but then we need to find a good firmware to flash and not just the original.
I guess it can be done with kernel but at the moment I am still learning/figuring out how kernel works.
Then I guess it can be done without rooting.
Do you know how to fix to get deleted maps/files back when you have deleted them while rooted?

Hi.
In short I am asking someone who was the T-mobile firmware if they can extract the T-mobile unlock app. I am hoping I can use the unlock app without the need to reflash my phone to the T-mobile firmware.
Long story.
I thought my wife's phone was unlocked succesfully and flashed the unlocked firmware over the T-mobile firmware. Weeks later come to find out it's not actually unlocked we were just using a MVNO that is on T-mobile antenna... which I should have known. Really want to avoid making my wife setup a bunch of stuff again, even after backing up and restoring so looking for some help.
Is anyone able to extract the unlock app, or have a better way of backing up and restoring without the need for root?
TIA

Thanks for the response, but installing all the ones I found online say that my device is incompatible.
Which makes sense, the ones online are all ancient.

What message are you receiving when you insert Non TMobile or MVNO sim?
AFAIK, you will need TMobile firmware for unlock to work. Newer TMobile phones don't have a dedicated unlock app. It is baked in connection settings.

Was afraid of that. It asks for an unlock code. Will probably have to just bite the bullet and flash back to the TMobile firmware.
Maybe flashing with Home_CSC will work and still allow me to keep my wifes settings intact.

Worth giving a shot with Home_CSC. Also Samsung backup works very well except Samsung Pay/Google Pay which you have to set again.

Ill probably try it tonight. As far as Samsung backup, did you mean smart switch? All the apps, contacts, photos come over but many apps still require setting up again Regardless thanks for the comments!
New T-Mobile devices don't use the unlock app anymore. Device unlock requests are done through connection settings.
Ended up flashing back to T-mobile firmware using Home_CSC instead of CSC and I was able to successfully unlock as well as keep my wifes settings...
But i tried flashing back to unlocked firmware using Home_CSC and couldn't boot. Said user data was corrupt. I tried 4 times without any difference. Luckily I was able to flash back to T-mobile firmware again with Home_CSC and it worked fine
This may be common knowledge I wasnt aware of but it appears:
Unlocked firmware + Home_CSC -> Carrier Firmware is ok
BUT carrier firmware + Home_CSC -> Unlocked Firmware is not
Thanks to anyone to commented and read.
It's contract there I believe
