I have a G955F with EVR CSC(EE UK) and I want to switch to an unbranded firmware with more frequent OTA updates.
AP / CP: G955FXXU1AQK7
CSC: G955FEVR1AQJ1
Product code: SM-G955FZSAEVR
Available CSC codes: empty (I gues this is not a multi CSC ROM).
All I want is faster OTA updates; EVR is stuck on the November 2017 security patch.
Is there a safe way to do this without tripping knox? I only have Romanian sim cards (vodafone / orange / telekom).
Would it be ok to flash OXM Multi-CSC with Odin and will that solve my problem?
Here is a short list of 'change csc without root'
https://forum.xda-developers.com/search/forum/6290?query=change csc without root
I should have mentioned that I did search and read those threads and a few others but I didn't find a clear answer, only questions. I also seached the S8 forums for the same information, but no luck.
Installing a new ROM seems to get more complicated with each new phone model, even when you just want another stock ROM.
Hi,
I have an G955F that I bought from service Provider Claro Honduras, CSC was CPA (Claro Panama, dont know why if I´m in Honduras, but thas not the case).
It was full of bloatware, so I risky myself and with Samfirm I set Model Name SM-G955F, Region DBT (Germany, unbranded). It downloaded the OXM Firmware. After that, what I did was flash evertything as normal but in CSC I set HOME_CSC_OXM. Now my S8+ Is unbranded, And I received via OTA the OREO Update, without tripping Knox.
Hope that helps you.
P.D. This is what I set In Samfirm.

Hi folks,
I have a Galaxy note 3 with the following info:
CSC Country: Germany
PDA Version: N9005XXUBMJ3
CSC Version: N9005DBTBMJ3
Baseband Version: N9005XXUBMI6
I still didn't get the Kitkat update - i have a rooted phone but couldn't even get it from Kies as well and it says i have the latest firmware and updates.
I tried to find the version on http://samsung-updates.com but i couldn't find one with my PDA and CSC version.
From where i can download original KitKat for my phone and if the knox void on my phone is 0x1 will i have any problem applying the Original kitkat rom you will suggest on my phone?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Any Branding or something?
You're not going to get any updates when you're A, rooted or B, 0x1.
Your only option is to manually flash them through ODIN. I can't find your specific version, but you should be able to flash any newer version of DBT without issue. (Downgrading, however, is bloody difficult.)

The latest firmware for your device (DBT) is N9005XXUGNG1 (see the screenshot)
Get it using Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser'. Download it and flash via Odin.

First, have a look at this message:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71668306&postcount=3
Short answer: You can't!
You probably have a SIM-Card of the Israelian Operator "Orange/Partner" in your S8+
THAT's the reason your phone is using the PTR-CSC, and NOT the UNbranded ILO-CSC
As you can read in my other message, Samsung is using since the Note 7 a Multi-CSC (OXM) for his flagship phones.
ALL Israelian operators are included in the Multi-CSC OXM
It doesn't matter which Firmware you flash from one of the CSC's in OXM (in your case BTU & ILO, which both are in Multi-CSC OXM): your CSC will stay PTR!

What is "Software Serviceprovider" saying on your phone? Probably PTR/PTR/PTR
Thank you for your answer

hello everyone,,, i'm not an expert in software but i've read a good share of articles,, i have a Samsung galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) with the CSC: (G930FOJV2DRAG) i bought it from the UAE,, i have some problem with it so i want to install another country firmware.. and i have multiple questions,,
1- I have a pre-installed calendar app in Urdu language, apparently it is for Iran or Pakistan,, now when searching sammobile.com i found firmwares for Iraq (MID),, Saudi Arabia (ACR) or (KSA),, Egypt (EGY),, Iran (THR),, but when i go to details, they ALL have the same CSC code (OJV) which is the same CSC code that i have now,, and it's not possible that Saudi Arabia and Iran have the same pre-installed apps, and its not possible that Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia also have the same calendar that I'm having now,,, but as i read that the CSC code in the firmware name is what determines the country specific customization (like pre-installed apps),,, so HOW??

2- if i downloaded for example an Iraq (MID) firmware or even UK (DBU) firmware,, and went to ODIN, placed the four files (BL, AP, CP, and CSC) in their places and started the flashing process ( with the phone in download mode),, will i brick the phone?! or will things go right ( and this is the normal way)???? also will i loose the warranty?? and if things will go right, why did this guy in the video went to all this trouble by using the combination firmware??!! or did he do all that just to downgrade to Android 6??
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo28cj8KNYc
Flashing via Odin won't brick the phone as long as it's for the right model, i.e. only flash G930F for a G930F model and make sure you flash all 4 files.
You should be able to change countries firmware just fine, but the latest OTA prevents downgrading, so if you're on the latest OTA it won't let you go from 7.0 to 6.0. The same version but different region should still work.
It won't void warranty, it doesn't impact knox etc.
Hi
I bought an s20 ultra and I want to change the CSC to Israel (ILO).
I tried doing so by using SamFw_FRP_Tool_v3.1
It said OK when finished, but when I rebooted the phone nothing changed it is still ZT0/EUX for CSC
In SamFw_FRP_Tool_v3.1 I also found out that the CSC "ILO" of Israel is not supported ???
How do I change to CSC ILO ???
Is it even Possible?
Thanks
for G988B :
if your CSC is ZTO it's a part of OWO multi CSC

Hi again yakapa40
You seem to know that stuff, so i'd like to ask you...
After I changed the firmware to israeli and CSC to ILO, Play Store is not available for my device.
Tried going back to the latest OWO brazil firmware and still, no Play Store.
BTW: also no option to reset , not in settings and not in recovery boot.
Do you know how can i get Play Store and other android\google functions to function again???
thanks
I bought a Galaxy S23+ device in Canada, model SM-S916W.
I want to change CSC via SamFW (mainly to allow call recording).
When I check the samfw page for the model, it only shows me Canadian CSCs, here is the list (see screenshot below):
BMC BWA CHR ESK FIZ FMC GLW KDO PCM PMB RWC SJR SOL TBT TLS VMC VTR XAC
Is there any way to get a different CSC for this model?
I see that the SM-S916B model has lots of CSCs. Can I download one of these and install them on my SM-S916W device?

If it's the same model, yep. You've to flash CSC via Odin with a full wipe.

Thanks for the reply!
Sorry for the noob question, but what do you mean exactly by "the same model"?
My model is SM-S916W, the desired CSCs are for the model SM-S916B - so that's not the same model, right?

No, the S916B is the International/European model. For example I've got the S918B, which is the Int. S23 Ultra.
You're model is the same for specification, but different band etc.
Probably could hard brick your device if you try to flash our firmware on it.
You could only flash another firmware/CSC specific for your model.
People tried to flash other fw and worked, but it's all or nothing

Sorry to say but your phone is canadian only, you can't flash any other firmware that isn't from that Canadian list
