For east Europe use XXKPQ for vest Europe use XWKPG
Thanks - I'll have a look around for XWKPG.
Kind regards

Hold on - that seems to be an indian firmware, rather than a european one? is that OK for my device?
This is what I'm getting for the current version
PDA: I9003XWKB4
PHONE: 19003XXKB1
CSC: I9003OXXKB2
I thought OXX was portugal, so now I'm even more confused!

Assuming that there really is no gingerbread XEU firmware (which I'm having a hard job believing, this is a current model on sale in the stores right now) then that might be the only way to do it. But I really want to find an official XEU GB firmware for the I9003 if there is one out there.
Is there anyone else here who has an unlocked I9003 UK model? what firmware are you running?
Need XEU
I too have a GT-I9003 which I bought online last year. The original CSC was TGY (Hong Kong I think).
I flashed XXKPE/XXKPQ/XXKPU so I now have latest Gingerbread but I am stuck with a CSC of SER (Poland or Russia?).
Everything works fine. Kies sees it as latest. It's just annoying to be stuck with an eastern CSC.
Would also welcome any tips on how to get to CSC of XEU.
Rather wary of spoof apps.

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

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
DBT is not listed, why ?

if i flash to DBT root it and then try change CSC, would it be listed under DBT firmware?
thx

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...
Hi, I have the S8+ SM-G955F from Vodafone, it looks like some Vodafone bloatware apps are installed.
Does anyone have a stock firmware for the device?
Thanks!

BTU is there now..
Does anyone have a mega link? I'm cheap and only have free access to sammobile :fingers-crossed:
Which odin are people using to flash firmwares.
Warning
OFFICIAL STOCK Firmware-update (Odin) thread Samsung GALAXY S8+ SM-G955F
Be advised, that BTU is now part of the Multi-CSC OXM
OXM has a lot of CSC's included! If you want to change i.e. fm Vodafone-firmware to BTU, the possibility is very high you won't get the BTU CSC but the 1st CSC in the package of OXM, which is AFR
I use Odin 3.12.3

Did you download the BTU from sammobile and flash as per the secure pin instructions? Is it luck that you got XEU from the flash or likely to do the same on my Vodafone model also? Thanks.

I didn't follow the secure pin instructions. I used the program SamFirm and downloaded the BTU rom which had the Multi-CSC, my firmware was Vodafone branded and had the Vodafone VOD CSC.
Once I used the correct Odin and flashed the BTU rom I reset the phone in the settings and then I had the XEU CSC which is the correct CSC for Ireland and the UK.

Thank you. I flashed and now have build number NRD90M.G955FXXU1AQDD
Service provider software XEU/XEU/VOD
Is this UK/IRL XEU or still Vodafone UK firmware?
Excuse my ignorance, what is BTU? I am with O2, what benefit do we get from flashing BTU, no bloat apps?
Also I haven't yet accepted any updates, if we do, and realize for example we want to Re-map the Bixby button can we backtrack with this Firmware?
So doing this did not trip Knox ?

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.
As the question says, i'm looking for the most up-to-date and bloatware-less firmware version for my s10e (SM-G970F).
I'm looking on sammobile, and the only firmware that has the June security patch is the SWITZERLAND (AUT) firmware. Is this firmware clean??? Like the BTU versión for the S9+, or Hong Kong for the Note 9?
Thank you!
To answer myself: Its the Switzerland (AUT) firmware.
what less there is on the AUT one ? I installed the French and the UK ones and it's the same.
Honestly I hate on stock rom is preinstalled Facebook. Ok I can understand some other apps, but no facebook. Ofcorse I disabled it.
