I imagine you need to change your phone CSC's. To do that you need a PC with Windows and an internet connection (you need Latest Odin3 and Samsung USB Drivers), your Galaxy A8 with its USB-C to USB cable, latest official firmware for your model and csc and the Factory Firmware tar for your phone and with correct bootloader rev (to know what's your current bl rev download "Phone Info ☆Samsung☆" app from Play Store and check your Bootloader version inside it, the bootloader rev is after the phone model number and fw country/type; ex. A530FXXU3):
- A530F Rev 1
- A530F Rev 2
- A530F Rev 3
- A730F Rev 1
- A730F Rev 2
- A730F Rev 3
If you downloaded and installed all the needed, do a backup of all your data and files, then follow those steps:
1. Boot your phone in Download mode
2. Open Odin3 as Administator, go in "Options" tab and enable Auto Reboot and Re-Partition, then click on the AP button and select the COMBINATION tar file you downloaded previously
3. Connect your phone to your pc and click the Start button in Odin3, flash should start
4. You phone now should boot in Factory Firmware. Select IMEI option at the bottom of the screen to bring up the dial pad, then dial *#243203855#
5. Select your new CSC code (in your case INS) and wait for it to install and reboot
6. Wait for phone to reboot and do a Factory Reset in Settings app
7. Reboot to Download mode again and setup Odin3 like before
8. You now need to flash your official firmware, so put all the tars from the firmware you downloaded on their section (AP inside AP, BL inside BL, CP inside CP and CSC inside CSC)
9. Connect back your phone in your pc and click Start in Odin3
Your phone should now be back to the Stock Firmware and with the correct CSC set, to check it go inside Settings>About phone>Software info>Service provider SW ver. and check if the first CSC sales code matches the one you choosen previously.

Thanks for your detailed reply. Unfortunately there is no official INS firmware available for this model as it's not been launched in India. I tried flashing it with other countries firmware but it didn't work. Is there any other way?

You can try to flash A530F AP, BL, CP tars with A730F INS CSC tar. If it doesn't works you unfortunately need to root your device to install the correct csc in system (the guide I explained before is for non-rooted devices)

Wasn't successful. So doing rigorous R&D.

Has anyone succeeded by rooting the device? @BlackMesa123 can you suggest on this?

It's like one month we are behind it actually lol, but since recently you can finally root safely your device with flashing my TWRP 3.2.3+Magisk v17.1. Would suggest to flash my custom kernel also (MCK), but I wanna suggest to wait till' next version comes out since there will be a lot of under-the-hood improvements over the current version (v1.2)

Hi,
Any luck regarding this?

As I said previously, you need to set the correct CSC sales code in your device in order to get the features you need for your country/SIM. To do that you can follow the guide I wrote above or, if you're rooted, you just can edit the "/efs/imei/mps_code.dat" file and replace the current CSC with the one you prefer.

Just to say I on honk Kong but I modified a USA s8 csc and I have had voltie working.

Basically just want to know what would happen if I flashed carrier branded csc only with Odin.
E.g. would my phone refuse to boot, would my phone be carrier branded if it succesfully boots, trip Knox, etc...

That answered some of my questions, thanks.
Please see screenshot for my mutiCSC firmware. I am running Android 7 but haven't changed CSC since I got the phone in December 2016. I got it with Marshmallow on it. Everytime I upgrade firmware with Odin I select Home CSC so my CSC never changes.
Since the solution is in the CSC (afaik), which CSC do you recommend I flash with Odin? I understand how to flash with Odin if CSC not in my multiCSC firmware (tick re-partition, etc...)
My home network is Vodafone (CSC is XVF which is not part of my CSC).

If i got it right you are not root, right? if you are root there are other ways....
Yes you need the right CSC to make it work , in this case Vodafone XFV.
When you change to a different CSC is recommended to check re partition to adjust to the possible change in partitions
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930F/XFV/download/G930FXXU1DQD2/131635/
Download the firmware and extract the correct CSC from it , if you do not want all the vodafone stuff you could download and unbranded firmware and use the BL ,CP , AP from it and the CSC (XFV) from Vodafone and flash it all together
BACK UP FIRST .......

[HOW TO] VoLTE on Jio India - USA Snapdragon S7 S7edge

New instructions dated Sept 15th 2018
No root needed.
Should work on all Snapdragon USA/Canada etc models (ATT , verizon, sprint, tmobile tc) S7 or S7edge (though the file is from S7edge India model). Leave a message in this thread if you encounter any issues.
Am not responsible for any damage you might do to your device.. am just trying to help.
Keep your Jio SIM in the phone all along.
1. Back up your data using Samsung smart switch or any other means (save whatsapp chats to google in settings)
2. Flash stock firmware (On unzipping stock FW, you'll get AP, CP,BL and CSC files. Use Odin to flash them) (Don't flash User data file if it's there in extracted files) - Download from Updato site for faster downloads
Use recommended patched Odin is located here
3. Download the Indian CSC file G935F_INSCSC
4. Ignore this step if you have adb working on your PC already.
Install "minimal ADB fastboot" program on PC, Copy the G935F_INSCSC.zip to your minimal ADB folder on computer (under program files on C drive).
Double click cmd-here.exe in that folder.
5. Boot the phone to recovery mode and choose Apply update via ADB sideload
6. Connect your phone to your computer with your USB cable.
7. On ADB window on PC type "adb devices" without quotes. Next line should show a device attached
If seen, type "adb sideload G935F_INSCSC.zip" without qoutes. It'll start transferring the file.. check mobile screen it'll install itself. (you might see some errors)
8. Reboot file and check, you should have Volte.
Possible errors:
1. Phone app/Msg app force closing
Try SMS app from google
Reflash AP BL CP only excluding CSC
Install CSC zip via adb again
2. Sprint OMADM app needs to be removed to avoid annoying notification or change notifications to low priority
To remove via ADB, turn on usb debugging
type in adb shell
you should see a dollar sign.
next type in pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.omadmspr
it should say success.
ADB sideloading is explained in this video in the last https://youtu.be/giD7nP4Oue4
Old instructions have been deleted....
Thank you Proper vlog on youtube for testing my method and reporting.

Is the CSC file you included only take care of Jio VoLTE or stuffs with all operators ? . I hear that Airtel is even testing VoLTE.

I've only tested till login. Tried to add card after reading your comment. I too had connection error. I've only changed CSC in that file. US guys didn't have any issues it seems.
I can't open some pages on spay too.. not sure if it's related to Samsung servers or our device. I'll check later.
If it were related to knox issue, it won't even let you login. (Like on a rooted device).
VoLTE is related to CSC and device model. So it should work with airtel too. Lets see.

You also try and keep posted. If you want me to try something on this , let me know.
BTW , do you have the latest csc files for india thats ODIN flash-able ?
Also will it be an issue because of the samsung pay framework. I hrd that it need Indian framework and India spay app for successful adding of our cards.
Do you have any idea as how to bring spay India framework to this rom ?
Thank you for the input man.
I just wonder if the CSC is CPU dependent? Since I want to modify it with a CSC for HongKong, I am not sure if it matters for Exynos / Snapdragon rom.
Or would you mind help me to modify the file with Hong Kong CSC for me? thank you very much!

CSC is not dependent on processor as long as it's flashed via twrp/flashfire as a zip. But odin flashing is different.
So, which is your device? if it's SM-G935F/FD/K/L/S/W8 then use https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-30-t3392957 TGY is in that zip.

Hi, I just did as what was instructed.
After I have gone throught the Auroma screen, having checked No Wiping and Keep SU, ticked what to debloat,
it says finished and restarted.
1. When it was rebooting, it keep popping up com.sec.epdg has stopped, IMS Service stopped.
Is that normal or what else should I do?
2. I also noticed the modified file for India is over 500mbs, but the TGY file for Hong Kong is just 153mb.
Is everything alright about that?
3. When I try to Odin a stock G935U firmware wiping everything, it turns into Olympic Edition Theme, and I lost my IMEI , cannot detect a Sim. There is no way for me to get it working again
thank you again.

Still, it says SIM Card Not Available, IMEI Unknown, Baseband Unknown, No Network. It used to work fine before trying the TGY CSC.

Smartswitch detected my phone but says G935A is not supported.
Finally, I approached a phonedealer in China online.
He fixed my phone remotely via Teamviewer, and he said the Certificate of Modem/Baseband was corrupted. Since the Baseband gone missing which cannot be fixed by ordinary Odin of Firmware.
I saw him used some kind of unofficial software (characters illegible to me) and got it fixed in 2 minutes, and was luckily costed me only 220RMB (around 30USD)
Well, a good lesson to learn from. There are really something not fixable by Odin and we could Eff our phone up even with the bootloader locked.
Again, it was just me requesting the OP to modify the file for me to satisfy my curiousity who happily did me a favour, there is nothing to blame with and I thank you again for all the help!

Sorry about that but the file will touch only CSC part. not basebands/modem. I've re-checked the zip too.
Not sure what happened.. I could even flash Exynos CSC file via flashfire on Snapdragon. No damage at all.

Any way to get VoLTE working with international phone?

Hello
I bought an s8+ from HK which is the dual SIM Snapdragon version (G9550). Using it here in Australia, everything works as expected as it supports all of our bands, however VoLTE does not work. I've read this is because the CSC does not match a local CSC.
Unfortunately there are no Snapdragon versions sold here, hence no firmware with the Aus CSC (XSA) that will support VoLTE (as I read you can't flash the Exynos ROM onto the Snapdragon).
Is there any way I can enable VoLTE? Can I somehow change the CSC without an official ROM? Like go into the G9550 ROM and replace the CSC with the Aus CSC?
The only other region with the Snapdragon is the US from what I can tell, which probably wouldn't enable VoLTE either.
Any advice is appreciated
Thanks.

You may root and then flash your csc zip (or simply replace the CSC files in the custom rom with your CSC files). You should get VoLTE. Download Multi CSC file from here and extract your csc.
I do the same but with India CSC on USA snapdragon models.

Thanks nimms. This is pretty much exactly what I was after, except I cannot root the phone (work required Knox so I can't trip it ). I was hoping I could do somthing like the above, only via Odin, but it sounds like you can't change the CSC without rooting the phone due to making system changes.
Try this code in dialer *#272*imei# and change your csc from there

Hi
As far as I'm concerned, this is not possible without tripping the Knox counter. And if you try flashing the XSA CSC (via Odin), you will definitely soft brick your phone
ims setting. maybe can fix your issue ,just download a hidden app display. then you can open ins setting

Odin won't flash it but if you try to flash it and after that you reboot, you will stuck at download mode. Only by flashing the correct files, will make it boot

Interesting.
Another question...the only difference I've noticed between the 9550 (HK) and 955U (US) is that the US version does not have Band 28 but the HK version does, which we do use here in Aus.
If I flashed a US firmware (which has the same S835 SoC), would I lose Band28, or would the modem still be able to use it?
EDIT: what if I only flashed the CP file (modem), is this interchangeable between the different SoCs? Could I flash the XSA CP (modem) onto another ROM, or will this soft-brick?

My IMS is saying "Not registered" in the about phone. I can't seem to do anything about it, and the hidden menu doesn't give me the option to change it.
IMS setting is located explicitly on "Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names"
The best bet you may try is to find a Samsung phone thats currently in VoLTE then copy IMS apn settings onto you phone (you manually input the settings).

My IMS is saying "Not registered" in the about phone. I can't seem to do anything about it, and the hidden menu doesn't give me the option to change it.

Do not enter people astray, ADB Sideload It's not working - error "signature verification failed"
need ROOT
VD2-CSC-S8S8p
MY Galaxy S8+ SM-G9550, SW - G9550ZHU2AQL2
Just download an official ROM (A variant from a country that supports VoLTE) for ur model from sammobile or u might even find it on the xda forum and flash it via odin with Home CSC.
It works well... No need to root n KNOX counter wont be tripped...
PS: Backup data.. They will be lost in the process.
Now we're talking about ADB, not ODIN or TWRP.
Flash via ADB Sideload - not possible. You understand me. Smartphones snapdragon not flash Exynos SW. You can only edit an existing profile CSC or add new CSC.
Example:
my smartphone TGY (snapdragon model SW)
but I live in the region of SER (EXYNOS MODEL SW)

Right, My bad... I missed the international part itself...
But as far as i know, Exynos CSCs also dont go with the Snapdragon CSCs... I could be wrong.

[GUIDE] How to change S9/S9+ CSC (Only Same Model Number's CSC)

How to change S9/S9+ CSC (Only Same Model Number's CSC)
Hi I will tell you how to change S9/S9+ CSC simple.
You can change to the same Model Number's CSC.
You don't need a special UART Cable.
It's simple to changing using RealTerm or PuTTY with any Type-C cable.
(I recommend Samsung's bundle cable in the phone box.)
Install Smart Switch and RealTerm or PuTTY.
I will tell you using RealTerm.
And you will need SamFirm to download Stock Firmware.
1. Find Your Model's Combination File by yourself!
And Flash by Odin.
2. If your phone shows your Model Number after boot.
Run RealTerm and go to Port tab.
Set Baud to 230400 and Select Port to ssudmdm0000 or very similar name.
3. Go to Send tab.
Enter "AT" and click Send ASCII.
If you get a response like
+USB READY
BOOTING COMPLETED
AT
or
AT
or
OK
or
BOOTING COMPLETED
AT
Proceed to the next number.
If you didn't get a response click +CR and send again.
If you get a response like "ERROR" proceed to the next number.
Still if you didn't get a response check your phone status and cable status.
If everything is normal proceed to the next number.
If still you didn't get a response it mean's your phone or cable is not normal status.
4. Enter "AT+PRECONFG=1,0" and click Send ASCII.
You will get this response.
AT+PRECONFIG=1,0+PRECONFG:1,???
OK
??? is your current CSC.
5. Enter "AT+PRECONFG=2,???" and click Send ASCII.
Enter ??? you want to change to another CSC.
You will get this response.
AT+PRECONFG=2,???+PRECONFG:2,OK
OK
??? is your changed CSC.
6. Enter "AT+PRECONFG=1,0" and click Send ASCII.
You will get this response.
AT+PRECONFIG=1,0+PRECONFG:1,???
OK
??? is your changed, current CSC.
7. Flash Changed CSC's Stock Firmware.
Congratulations!
You changed CSC for free by yourself!
Special Thanks to "HD Voice"
(He finded this method even without having a S9/S9+. Just a normal Korean User LOL)
"???" enter SPR or VZW ..ct?

Did you flashed Combination firmware?
will this work on exynos note 9?

Just need to flash the combination file directly? no need to flash home_csc together right
Hi applypay,
Thank you! I tried this on my S9 Exynos G960F/DS, Taiwan (BRI) stock.
However the Combination Rom must be installed first, otherwise "AT+PRECONFG" command will return nothing.
Once "AT+PRECONFG=2,???" is done, then install whatever local Rom to use, and for me it worked.

Not possible. I have CHC only phone and want to change to TGY. Only firmware available is CHC. I used to take sec_csc.zip from a totally different phone and flash, but it seems like csc are no longer flashable?
SM-W2018 used sec_csc.zip so I took tgy zip from S7 edge and flashed in stock recovery . W2019 has ODM partition, not a zip, so I don't know how to flash another phone's CSC

If you use home csc file during flashing, it shouldn't delete data. I personally use regular csc file which resets the phone. Since you are flashing a bit different firmware I would suggest you to use regular CSC file so it would wipe the device. Use Samsung backup from your phone, to back everything up, including homescreen, your settings, your apps and so on

I was referring to post someone posted above there is U1(unlock) and U (All other variant) . Is there any T Mobile specific firmware which says TMB or something like that?

US Unlocked models are U1(XAA code) and carrier versions are U.
So T-Mobile version of Note10 (regular) would be: SM-N970U and CSC(or the region code) is TMB, that is what you could type in the search fields of SamFirm

I have attached SamFirm app for your PC. Open it and type in the model # such as SM-N975U and region which in your case would be TMB and make sure "Auto" is checked, then hit search. I have also attached screenshot how your search term should look like for your Note10+
To make sure, your phone is US unlocked Note10+?

Downloading now and its way faster than sam website. Thanks bud.
Does this looks okay from sam mobile?
Extract the firmware file you just downloaded. You should get 5 files:
AP (System &Recovery)
BL (Bootloader)
CP (Modem / Radio)
CSC_*** (Country / Region / Operator)
HOME_CSC_*** (Country / Region / Operator)
Add each file to it's respective field in Odin v3.13.3. Use CSC_*** if you want to do a clean flash or HOME_CSC_*** if you want to keep your apps and data.

Yeah, after that you would use Odin to flash these files. Your list didn't include USERDATA file. So total should be 5 files when you flash it. I have attached Odin, just unzip where you like

If you haven't done it already. - On your phone go to settings>accounts and backup>backup and restore, then do back up
After that is done, turn off your phone. Then press and hold Vol up and down + power button. Release power when you see Samsung Note10... wording on screen. The download mode will ask you if you want to continue, use Vol up to continue
Now into Odin app, you will place each file into the corresponding spot: BL, AP, CP, CSC and USERDATA.
The last step is connect your phone to your PC and in the Odin app you will see under ID: COM(will turn blue)
Now if you are ready, start it If successful, Odin will say pass, I think
