I've looked everywhere and can't find a proper walkthrough/tutorial for my questions
I have a g930w8 S7 canada which is a multi csc phone, i want to change the csc to another carrier that i'm now subscribed to and further they have newer update then old carrier.
So i'm wondering what my best choice is
1. change csc with *#272*IMEI# code, without sim in, let it reset, power off and then clear cache through recovery menu, then put sim in and it's essentially that new carriers phone? And latest firmware/ later otas would be to said new carrier?
2. flash latest new carrier firmware through odin and voila new carrier phone?
Which option is better? 1 is easier but does it change active csc and then when new update downloads does it change firmware csc?
Thanks for your help

Hi mate
assuming you are not root
option 1 is good but is not working anymore in most phones , once you change your CSC it stay active until you flash a different firmware with different CSC
option 2 maybe your only option , all canadian firmwares i see they seem to be single CSC , which one are you looking for? if so just flash it ( use CSC file , not home_csc) and you are done......backup csc change will factory reset your phone
Hello,
I have been trying to find an answer to my question or a solution but all the results I found on XDA are Snapdragon model oriented.
My question is about changing the CSC just to be able to receive OTA updates faster ( I don't want Samsung Pay ..) . I aleady know that the product code is hardcoded into the phone I just need to change last three letters of the CSC.
My rom is part of the OXM multi-CSC rom, I flashed it and tried the famous code to change the CSC region but no results so far. I also do not have any other sim card to trick the phone after factory reset.
Could anyone please help ? has anyone been able to change CSC via odin ?
Regards.
Can anyone help please ? is my question a little bit confusing ?

Changing CSCs isn't possible without root or without a local SIM card from the country whose CSC you want to use.
If you're so eager to get faster updates, just flash them with HOME_CSC_OXM as they are released, you won't lose your data and you'll be on the latest OXM builds as well.

HI all,
With CSC change not possible using codes with latest UI 3.1 update what are options to change CSC?
For ex. I have SM-N986U unlocked Tmobile device but i changed CSC to ATT as im currently using ATT Prepaid and I'm on latest Apr update for ATT
How can i revert back to Tmobile CSC?
Do i need to flash Tmobile firmware using ODIN by first flashing to U1 firmware then Tmobile firmware or can i directly flash Tmobile latest firmware with Apr update using ODIN?
Will i be able to retain my app and data if I flash Tmobile firmware?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
So you state csc change not possible then ask how to change it? lol.. and if it were as easy to just flash firmware in odin tgen that wouldve been the way to do it to begin with I would think lol
Update:
I was able to change CSC(ATT/ATT/TMB) to TMB/TMB/TMB but it was long and winded way. Just flashing firmware was not enough , need Tmobile sim to install carrier service and change CSC.
I followed the steps below:-
1) Did backup of my device using Smart Switch and removed my ATT sim.
2) Flashed latest T-Mobile firmware( N986USQU2DUC8 ) using instructions from post - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/ota-and-non-ota-firmware-for-n986u-and-n986u1.4143833/ . Also, downloaded the ODIN (patched version) and T-Mobile firmware from links in the post. Flashed HOME_CSC too.
3) After rebooting phone with new firmware , the boot up screen was still ATT and CSC was still ATT/ATT/TMB.
4)Shut down phone and inserted Tmobile SIM i had lying around.
5) On reboot, i was asked to install Tmobile carrier services and on restart , Tmobile logo came on boot up with CSC changed to TMB/TMB/TMB.
6) Now, i have esim enabled and SIM manager showing up too.

thats the normal process.. that firmware is same for each carrier.. firmware is multi csc which changes based on sim inserted.. shouldnt have to go through all of that really.. i think most ppl who have issues are trying to change csc without a active sim card or on carrier locked devices etc.
glad u figured it out tho!

Well, the confusion for most ppl who are new to Samsung and CSC, like me , is that we could change CSC with code earlier and now cannot. Didn't have these issues with pixel and iPhone.

Yes, I was able to change CSC to ATT from TMobile, enable all LTE/5G bands before One UI update.Not, sure what u find so funny .
Yes, I'm aware that there is no CSC concept in pixel or iPhone or any other other manufacturer that I'm aware nor they are crippled in terms of hardware capability from carrier software like Samsung. LTE/5G bands not being enabled , esim not being enabled etc.

actually other devices are crippled in some cased disabled entirely.. for example u cant get a tmb oneplus 9 pro 5g and use it on verizon to get 5g bcuz vzw 5g bands are disabled in tmb variant..
its really the carriers to be honest..
and I say LOL all the time even in normal convo so not actually laughing sometimes, just say it out of habit

I have phones such as Z Flip3 5G and other models that do not change CSC like older models when following the flash procedure starting with U1, but the phones never prompt a restart. I have noticed it seems to be with TMB or VZW units. Any suggestion on how to actually get the CSC to change properly or is this something they are doing with new phones to avoid being able to use them fully on other carriers?

SamKey.org
Go to the page, download theirs Samkey app, buy few credits on Ebay and you can change the CSC as you wish in a minute, the phone will reboot without loosing your data, it's the easiest way as far as I know
Hi, I have yhe following issue and I need your thoughts please.
I have a Telus plan, canadian with US roaming option.
I am traveling in US alot. I have a Note 20 Ultra U1 from Samsung USA. When in US I can only register on Tmobile and I can get 5G icon too. Won't let me on ATT or Verizon.
With same sim card in Note20 Ultra "W" variant, canadian one, it wil register on all 3 major networks in US. No issues with the sim, I guess.
Also in Canada won't get 5G ever.
My provider said nothing to do with them, Samsung told me the same.
I reseted all network setings my APN is ok. VOLTE on. Only getting acces to Tmobile.
Any ideea how I can fix this ? Is it related to CSC ? Mine is XAA.

Hey Everyone,
I have unlocked SM-N986U1 with the latest update installed (Updated with latest June update). I wanted to change my CSC to TMB (T-Mobile) so as to enable ESeim support. I tried using Samkey, wasted 1 credit too. It said CSC updated but nothing happened, my carrier still shows XAA.
Can anyone please guide me on how can I change CSC to TMB?
Thanks.

These links'could help. I think you have to flash the TMB Rom which enables and support the eSim on the phone. It would help to have a Tmobile Sim around during this process but I have heard others say it is not needed.
Note 20 Ultra eSIM update is here!! (T-mobile USA)
Guys, FINALLY!!! Woohoo! We have eSIM support on Note 20 Ultra US Snapdragon version for T-mobile. There is an OTA you can download and then convert your physical SIM to eSIM :)

Thanks for the link to guide. I was going through it and there is a warning on the top saying if you have Bootloader 2 you won't be able to flash U firmware on U1. I believe as I have all the latest updates I wont be be able to flash it.

Yes you can. My device is from Xfinity and I have done the switch to any Carrier I choose on bootloader 2. U1 to U and back is doable. The key is to use the modified Odin as specified in the guide.
"
2. Download Patched Odin here
3. Unpack/Unzip what you downloaded in Step 2 (Odin Compatible ROm) and put in a folder. Lets call the folder "Flash"
4. Run Odin, click on BL, Browse to the "Flash" folder, add BL file from there, Do the same for AP (click on AP, Add AP file, this will take some time), Same for CP (click on CP, Add CP file)
5. Do the same for CSC (click on CSC, Add the file with the name starting with Home_CSC). If you use Home_CSC your phone will not get formatted and data will remain Intact
USERDATA Stays empty.
6. Now connect USB cable to your laptop (Only laptop and not the phone)>> Turn off your phone >> Press volume up and volume down keep them pressed and plug in the USB type C into your phone.
7. You should be in download mode now, press volume up. In Odin you will see that phone is added.
8. Press start in Odin. Wait for it to finish and let the phone restart (it will happen On its own).
9. Done

Thanks for the steps. Couple of Quick Questions:
1) I used frija to download the firmware (I typed CSC: TMB in frija, as its the first time I am using it, is it the right way)
2) I also checked the version in frija with the CSC: XAA, the version is same. How can I make sure that I have downloaded the correct TMB firmware.
Thanks.

You might want to extract the files and check for differences. The Frija tool has been kind of good to me.

So the Model is 986U/DS ? And is eSim enabled ?. That is the state you would want to be in. I understand the last XXX in the service provider software can't be changed. Mine didn't change and stayed CCT which is for xfinity but the as you can see, I have TMB/TMB, TMB/CCT. Esim is enabled and my Mint mobile (Tmobile) number is on it and I have a foreign physical Sim which is roaming on AT&T on the physical slot.
You might be close.

Also picked this nugget up from another thread
"You have to flash full tmb firmware. Not xaa tmb but 986u tmb firmware. The esim is in the user data section you'll flash"
Others have suggested you have to do a factory reset or flash the actual CSC file not the Home CSC which means you will loose DATA. I was doing this on a phone I had not setup yet so didn't mind loosing DATA. I am also assuming you have a TMB sim card in the phone because I understand that is needed so the phone can connect to Tmobile and download the carrier data files that actually changes the CSC after a clean flash.
These are just some of the things I picked up from here when doing my conversion.

Yup I used the TMB version only. The model Number changed to 986U/DS. In About phone, it shows me the IMEI of the Esim, but its greyed out.
The only thing I dont have is the T-Mobile Sim. I think thats whats causing the issue. I will arrange a t-Mobile sim and try it tomorrow.
Thanks for all the help.

Has to be a Tmobile Sim. I tried a Mint Sim it didn't work. If you are seeing the esim but greyed out, then you are close. Restart with a Tmobile Sim and you might be in business

Thanks. Let me try those.
Since the OP looks like problem solved, and not wanting to waste new thread, i have similar issues, can you help?
I have an S10e I recently broke (amazon renewed w/U1 FW), so I got another S10e from amazon, renewed which appears to also be U1 FW.
Except the latest, the replacement phone, the one I have now, NOONE can hear me, like all the time!!!!!!! Dead spots everywhere! Its so annoying. Its like i have a bad Mic? Or something...
This didn't happen with my identical phone, the one I had prior to this one, using identical sim.
I'm on Mint mobile, which is a TMO MVNO and currently have XAA/XAG FW running on the new S10e, the new one w/bad Mic or FW problem
It appears I am on U1 Unlocked USA firmware on latest phone ( i may have flashed FW Odin when I got this new one-to be safe- i forgot)
ALSO: BOTH renewed S10e's I've Purchased from Amazon, when lookup the IMEI, it shows as the AT&T Model. Which i understand the U/U1 FW can be swapped, BUT, both phones were advertised as U1 Models for the Hardware, so they sold me U models but they flashed with U1 FW probably to make more money. (this may seem trivial, but Samsung specifically has stated TWICE, that I couldn't Beta Test their last to major android FW's, because my phone shows as At&t on their end, and not the truly unlocked U1 model, for which the beta tests were for. And i was told when i purchased it was fully unlocked U1 ver. The phone itself even says its 970u1 in settings etc.)
Are there ANY hardware (including frequency bands) differences between U and U1 Models???
Is it somehow possible that my CSC, or FW on my phone is affecting my phone so badly that people cant hear me like 88% of all calls? Like should i flash different FW, or reflash or use different CSC??
Is it possible that if I went with a locked TMO FW (or another) that I could possibly, maybe get better reception so folks can hear me better? Or hear me more often or more frequently?
How often do mics go bad or get dirty on these? Can a mic be cleaned?
I have been in the other Note 20 flashing thread but I am stuck. Tried so many ways but can't get the TMB csc to stick, always shows only XAA. I have TMO sim card too. Not sure if they blocked it on the newer releases of the phone
Has anyone tried Samkey to do this? Heard it only takes 1 credit but smallest amount of credits to purchase on ebay is 10 and I dont feel like investing more money into this effort
Hello,
I've already searched this but I'm seeing different answers.
I have a Verizon Note 20 5g and the csc is at vzw/vzw/vzw. I would like to change the csc over to att/att/att. I have already downloaded Patched Odin, the new duf2 firmware. I have always kept my sim card inside the phone during flashing and its always changed the csc over during that process. This time though(this phone) when i flashed the firmware onto the phone it kept the vzw/vzw/vzw csc. Do i need to take out the sim card during the flash then reinsert once the firmware has been flashed on the phone and it restarts? Im on bootloader 2 and using the correct firmware. im just trying to get Volte back..lol.
thanks in advance

It will never be att/att/att, if the phone was originally vzw/vzw/vzw. If you have an active AT&T sim card, you will get att/att/vzw. Flashing odin does not change the csc on this device - the active SIM card dictates the csc. You didn't indicate if you were flashing U or U1, but you have to flash the U software to get carrier services, including VoLTE.

Oh gotcha, ok. Yea I have Att sim card but it still shows VZW/VZW/VZW even with the Att sim card inserted. I flashed the U1 firmware, thank you for clarifying this on the difference for the volte thing.
Did the APN change when you put in the AT&T sim card? If you change from U to U1 or vice versa, i believe you have to do a factory reset [sim card out until after inital setup]. The guide in this post worked for me: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...shing-and-n986u-to-n986u1-vice-versa.4182825/. But i moved from TMO to ATT with no issue.

Thank you very much, I didn't know the initial setup thing. Once I did that it's now showing Att/Att/Vzw. I have volte, wifi calling and hd calling again.
Thank you so much.
