Should i cahnge my firmware?

So my dad bought me this phone (Samsung Galaxy J7 Core) from Saudi Arabia but i am using it right now here in the Philippines. My phone is still not recieving the latest updates because my phone's firmware is from a different country and samsung is not rolling out the latest update for my phone's firmware yet. My question is should i change my firmare to Philipiines instead of Saudi Arabia or should i still use the Saudi Arabia firmware?
I heard about changing the csc but i dont really know about it
Thanks for anyone that could help

Returning to Stock (G930F) - BTU vs VIR vs XEU?

Hello everyone, I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S7 (G930F). I want to return it to stock so I can resell it.
While looking for a Stock Rom for the G930F on Uptodato.com, I am presented with 3+ stock rom version:
- United Kingdom (BTU)
- United Kingdom (VIR)
- United Kingdom (XEU)
- and others updato (dot) com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-G930F&exact=1&r=BTU%2CVIR%2CXEU%2CEVR%2CH3G%2CO2U%2CVOD&v=Nougat%28Android+7.0%29&rpp=100
Which one should I choose that does not have a specific carrier and will work in the US?

To my knowledge BTU is the factory regionless default

The app "Phone INFO" can tell you which firmware was originally installed on your device.

I believe only Phone INFO+ shows that, I have Phone INFO and it does not show me my original, it's blanc.

I have an SM-G930F, BTU. Phone INFO (not +) clearly identifies it as such. No blanks.

CSC code change

Hi,
I own A7 2017 with 8.0.0 running.
I do not know how it happened but, my CSC appears to be United Arab Emirates although I live in Turkey and phone is bought from local Samsung dealer.
Do I have the chance to correct the CSC without rooting?
Thanx in advance for the replies.
Regards.

Question Samsung phone direct from samsung read

So I bought a galaxy z flip 3 from Samsung UK via the Samsung website but under settings the region, CSC is eux not BTU for the UK what does this mean?

It means you have a European edition. That's the blanket code.

On new phones, Samsung is done with country specific csc's on unlocked phones. All EU phones have the same csc, except the ones purchased through carrier.

Is it possible for SM-N976B to be flashed to Hong kong region (TGY)?

Hi all,
I've tried to search but no luck specifically to my region
I bought a SM-N976B from a friend and i couldn't use Samsung pay.
I brought it to the Samsung store and they said i have a different region.
I ended up searching if it is possible to change the region by flashing, I've got mixed results and I downloaded Frija and couldn't search the firmware i want to use...
I'm currently using this model SM-N976B and would like to change the firmware region to HONG KONG so that i could use the "Samsung pay x Octopus".
Could anyone please help me point me in the right direction?
Kind regards
Mike
