Hello Everybody ,
Just received an S8+ bought from Amazon.it
I placed my Cosmote Greek SIM before turning the phone on for first time.
The phone has OXM multi CSC firmware installed but for my bad luck , the COS CSC code for my network (Cosmote) is not listed.
Current active CSC code according to phone info app is EUR.
I need to install the ODX multi CSC code firmware which has the COS CSC file for Cosmote.
The reason for changing the CSC from EUR to COS is to enable wifi calling supported from Cosmote network.
Is there any guide to do it without involving root?
Thank you.
Perhaps this thread will help you. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-v1-0-0-t3605264
Thanks for your reply but it does not fit in my case.
I do not want to root my phone and the thread mentioned requires root access.
My G930F came with a VDS Nordic carrier CSC. I'm considering flashing a different CSC to gain some customizations without tripping knox. Specifically: removing carrier bloat, Volte, and call recording. Will changing the CSC give me what I want?

hi mate
Not really , flashing alone the CSC will not de bloat the firmware.
You need a de bloated firmware . check this thread there they show you how to flash a de bloated up to date firmware keep your current CSC and not lose data .....
Changing to a different CSC will enable the option you mention IF the CSC is the same as the carrier that offer those options. If your carrier does not offer those options they will not be available even if you flash a different CSC
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
use SamFw_FRP_Tool_v3.1 for free to change CSC

There is no NIS CSC, may be you mean INS (India)?
P.S.
Indian is a person form India.

Yes, INS CSC, sorry. And Indian is also a nationality, which is the meaning I tried to use in that sentence

You won't be able to enroll beta by just changing CSC, you also needs SIM from Indian operator.

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).

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.

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

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

Yes, to change CSC No indian SIM needed, nor I said. OP as well I have said specifically about "Enrolling/Accessing Indian Beta Programme"
Sorry, No Idea if e-SIM working or not, haven't read about it so can't confirm.

PS : Indian doesn't only mean person from india, It is relating to India, or its people, customs, or languages.
This is what i'm trying to do but in UK. I'm currently on EE on my s22 ultra and I have tried a way to enroll to beta program.
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.

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?

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).
