I have the G955FD on the BRI (Taiwan) firmware. I live in Australia, and really want to use Samsung pay. How should I change my CSC from BRI to XSA? I've seen varying information here and on other sites. I want to keep my Google Play as Certified, still have OTAs and without tripping KNOX. Essentially like a standard phone from this region. I don't particularly care about Dual-SIM, but it'd be nice to still have.
Here is my current software information: imgur(dot)com/a/197z5 <-- I can't post links yet, remove this if not allowed.
Thanks for helping

Hi mate
Without root there are not many options ..
First F and FD firmwares are compatibles ( same device!! exynos to exynos) , you can flash an F firmware into an FD or vice versa
you could try to change your CSC to your SIM card CSC first
Check here
On the thread it shows how to add your SIM CSC to your current CSC config , if it work you may end up with a configuration like BRI/BRI/XSA , in my case I got TPA/TPA/PCW , TPA was the software default and PCW sims CSC. I do not have Samsung pay so i do not know if that change will be enough to make it work. Back up you need to factory reset for this.
The other option is to flash a full XSA firmware ( use a G955F firmware) , read here how to do it
BACK UP before you do anything

Thank you very much! I'm now running XSA/XSA/XSA with a flash. Dual-SIM support is still there which surprised me. There were some issues with Odin, but I fixed them up after a while.

Great news mate!!
Firmware is 100% same for F and FD so you should not see any difference at all , I asume also you got Samsung Pay working.
Good job!
I did the same when I had s8+. flashed TEL (Telstra) SM-G955F firmware which I got off Sammobile and worked like a treat. Samsung pay, VoLTE, Wifi Calling, Spam detection in calls worked as well.
I upgraded to S9+ and tried to do the same. The flash process works fine but CSC doesn't change. I am stuck on AFG CSC. Apparently it cant be done on S9 as Samsung is imposing multi CSC format.
Well, you are lucky one to have S8+. Enjoy

That's unfortunate
I'm curious why you flashed TEL instead of XSA, XSA is the unlocked version and it still has WiFi calling, VoLTE etc. I have an ALDImobile SIM (which uses Telstra) but I installed the unlocked version to have minimal bloatware and the stock boot logo.

I tried both. First preference is always XSA but I tried TEL in anticipation that it may work

Dear All,
I have tried to flash with Odin THL and many other firmware (ILO, SLK, XXV) in order to change CSC and have the native call recording enabled.
But no success, unfortunately, all the firmware are MULTI CSC and my CSC has been changed but to one which does not support call recording.
For example, flashing THL firmware my CSC is changed to XME (Malaysia).
Do you know a method (even if it is a paid method) to change the CSC on tab s6?
thanks a lot
Find a solution.
1. using ODIN flash the SLK firmware from sammobile (tried with ILO and THL and it doesn't work): T865XXU2ASL3 T865ODM2ASL3
2. go to phone app and digit *#272*your imei number#
3. select CSC SLK ad tap install.
done.
hoping this could be helpful for some one who want to have native call recording enabled.
That's very helpful... I tried to use your information on the Note 10 Plus, but *#272*your imei number# doesn't seem to work on it.

did you flash the SLK firmware?
Because on N10+ I have also tried the code on ITV and it didn't work, but I didn't tried with SLK fmw because I paid for kasko warranty and I am going to ask Samsung to replace my device and I want to be sure they will accept it as original

Hi,
I have A52 4G (A525F) with OLM (XME) firmware and would like to enable native call recording.
From reading Samsung forums I understand that ILO (Israel), THL (Thailand) and XID (Indonesia) CSC would allow native call recording.
The problem is that unlike for S20 etc, for A52 none of those CSC is included in OXM firmware, ILO is OJM and others are OLM, so it looks if I flash OXM firmware for A52 I would get nothing.
I don't care to pay for some credits with samkey, but the question is if samkey can set ILO CSC for OJM, not OXM firmware and if this would give me native call recording?
Or the only way available is to unlock the boot loader and root A52?
Really appreciate your help!
Thanks much.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash another region's/country's firmware (with Odin). But changing to another CSC will force you to do a factory reset/wipe data.
Are you sure about native call recording for those CSC firmware versions?
I am on DBT (unlocked/unbranded German), and this does not have call recording.
On my previous Samsung phones (S9, S9 Plus, A50 and A51) I got a built-in Call Recording without any problems so I switched CSC to XXV. It was enough to flash Home CSC from Vietnam, and there was no need to reset to factory settings.
On my new A52, which had all the EUX CSC tags, that way doesn’t work.
I tried to flash only part of the XXV and THL firmware, and then the whole firmware and I couldn't get the built-in Call Recording.
I think the problem is that I download the XXV (Vietnam) or THL (Thailand) firmware, and after flashing it says: XME.
This should be addressed, so a way would be found to get a built-in Call Recorder.
EDIT:
I finally managed to get a built-in Call Recording. I flashed the INS (India) firmware, with Home CSC, so I didn't lose any data. All together it lasted 5 minutes and now Call Recording is working ...
My original CSC was EUX,EUX,EUX,EUX, now is: INS,INS,INS, EUX

Please explain a bit. Do you mean that you flashed :-
1) download and flashed INS firmware with INS CSC
OR
2) download INS firmware and EUX firmware then flashed INS firmware with EUX CSC
i'm sure many still wondering how to do this
thanks in advance

I flashed the complete latest INS firmware via Odin. I put HOME CSC, so as not to lose all my data and applications.
The flashing ended in a few minutes, the cell phone restarted and everything was as before ... it offered me several apps from India, but I refused. If not, they can be uninstalled later.
I live in Europe, I have Croatian SIM card... no problem.
Updates come to me normally and regularly, there have been 2 since the flash.
In the Phone application, in Settings, you can select Call recording
I just noticed that the XFE firmware also doesn't have call recording. My previous phone had it with the EGY firmware. Strange, why wouldn't it just be enabled by default?

Could you please and please take me through the steps in activating the native call recording on my Samsung A32 without losing my files. I'm disappointed Samsung didn't make this common feature available on their latest phones. Please help me.
Sorry, my English is bad for detailed instructions...
Is it possible to flash Home CSC alone in Odin?
Yes.
I now have all EUX and only Home CSC India (IND).
Everything works, I have a Call Recorder and I haven't lost any data when flashing.
You just have to use Home CSC from the same month as everything else (BL, AP, CP) is.

Ah, so BL, AP & CP must be flashed along with Home CSC then
I'm not sure. It's probably enough to flash only Home Csc, but I haven't tried ... I flashed only home CSC on Galaxy S9 and Galaxy A50 and it worked
Can anyone with the call recording option enabled confirm the value of the following by running adb shell settings get system on computer (or other device)? These are the values I got on my device (call recording option not available in call settings) from adb shell settings list system:
Code:
record_call_storage_setting_value=0
record_calls_automatically_on_off=0
record_calls_automatically_type=0
record_calls_notification_on_off=1
for eg, to get the values for the first one, type adb shell settings get system record_call_storage_setting_value (after enabling USB debugging and connecting device to adb of course). Or conversely, do adb shell settings list system to get all the values (can also rerun replacing system with secure then global to get other values).

So I tried it and can confirm that simply flashing the Home CSC file alone in Odin for a different region but the same software version installed on the device changes the CSC (as expected), no data loss and I was able to get call recording option too. Flashed INS Home CSC over XME for the record. Just a couple notifications on restart asking to install new apps.
The only issue with the Indian firmware is that it might come with a bit more bloatware than other country's firmware. Don't know for sure though.
Call recording works with vowifi enabled if you flash indian rom?
Is vowifi available with indian rom and european peoviders (especially interested at vodafone or cosmote)

Please update
As far as I know only Xiaomi with special ROM supports vowifi recording. This is why I abandonded samsung and went to Xiaomi .
At my Xiaomi with https://xiaomi.eu/community/ ROM it works.

Hello people, I hope you're okay!
I bought an used S21+ but it was not clear that the model I would receive is Korean (G996N). While I don't have any issues, it also misses the eSIM option (and probably Samsung Pay is not going to work in Europe). The eSIM option would be really good to have (SPay I do not care a lot).
I've been searching for an answer in regards to change the region and the responses are mixed and I am out of Samsung phones and firmware loop for a few years. Some say I can just change the CSC region using SamFW and that's good to go. Some say it will not work because my KOO CSC does not allow this change. Also, OTA firmwares are lost until I switch the CSC back (but, from what I understood, if I also change the firmware it would receive OTA normally).
Question: is it possible, nowadays, to just change Firmware and CSC to another region? My phone has an Exynos processor so it would have to be a firmware from Europe or Latin America.
I also understood it will not brick nor trip knox efuse, right?
Thanks a lot!
@angourakis Ok let me give you a clear response about CSCs. ALL Samsung firmware will let you flash a new CSC (as long as you use Odin). This has worked for me every single time.
You need to update your Android to the latest 13 and download and extract this (remember to use “direct download”, this website is the only one with a good selection of firmware) and use Odin (get 3.14.1 non patched) to flash the HOMECSC file (in the CSC slot).
Hey @traman124 thanks for the response!
Why this firmware in specific? I am running a more recent firmware than the one you mentioned. Also, do I need to have the bootloader unlocked?
Thanks!
It doesn’t need to be that version @angourakis it can be any version… that one will work though And you can use Odin with a locked bootloader (with download mode).
@traman124 thanks again!
Unfortunately, I tripped knox while trying to install a CSC from G996B version (kept BL, AP and CP from G996N and only used CSC from B version).
Now I am trying to look for a trade in program to replace the phone.
Thanks anyway, I really appreciate your help!
@angourakis I’m sorry….. this has never happened to me while flashing CSCs but the few times I have I did it with the same variant phone/tablet…..
