I currently have a i9001 using Android 2.3.3 with baseband version I9001XXKF8 and am planning to flash with the newer I9001XXKQ1 version since there is no official 2.3.6 update for my region.
My current firmware I use has the South African CSC files(I9001OJCKF3) but the newer firmware uses the German CSC(I9001DBTKP1). My phone is not sim-locked.
If I flash to the newer firmware would that 'brick' the device? If I backup my current CSC files from /root/system/csc would I be able to restore these onto the newer firmware? If so would replacing these require factory reset or any such thing?
These are my CSC files:

Hi, my device baseband version is J330GDXU2AQI2. Now new firmware update is available & i have downloaded it but not install yet. This new update come with baseband J330GDXU2AQK1. My questions is, if i install this update & after that i flash twrp or make other modification and my device become bootloop or something like that, it's possible to flash old firmware? I don't have this new firmware in my pc because it's new and only available at sammobile.
Hope someone will give their opinion.
Thanks.
I´ve update my SM-J327U to Oct 29, security patch Oct then flash normally TWRP without issue.
Hi,
I've flashed the latest BTU nougat on my S7: G930FXXS2DRC3 wanting to upgrade to Oreo via OTA from that.
After flashing the firmware, I wiped the cache and reset to factory settings via the recovery menu.
However, when checking for updates, I'm not receiving any OTA update for Oreo and according to the Phone Info app, my details are:
Product Code: SM-G930FZKAXEU
Firmware's CSC Code: XEU
Active CSC Code: XEU
Available CSC Codes: BTU, CPW, DBT, ITV, KOR, NEE, XEF, XEO, XEU
Bootloader Version: G930FXXS2DRC3
PDA Version: G930FXXS2DRC3
CSC Version: G930FOXA2DRB1
Baseband Version: G930FXXU2DRB6
I also checked with Smartswitch on PC, and it believes my S7 is on the most up to date firmware.
Any ideas/suggestions to make OTA work and use BTU as the active CSC code?
Bonus Question:
I also got a Note 8 recently and did similar, it was originally on the TIM CSC code, and I flashed the latest BTU Oreo firmware to it, again wiping the cache and resetting to factory settings after, and on that I can also see it set to XEU in the CSC, however my brother also has a Note 8 bought from the UK, and he was able to update to Oreo via OTA and his settings in the Phone info app are identical to mine. Are future OTA updates something to be worried about on mine?
Thanks
Just flash the BTU Oreo 8.0 stock firmware from sammobile / updato / samfirm tool
BTU is multi-CSC and includes XEU so if your phone is XEU it will default to XEU as was also the problem I had
Once you've flashed the BTU 8.0 Firmware, your CSC will remain XEU but you will be running BTU 8.0 firmware, then we just wait for XEU to receive it and flash it back over the top using HOME_CSC so not to lose any data

Yeah I've noticed that is now available now, but it's a pain if you can never have BTU OTA.
Why would you need to wait for XEU to receieve it to flash it back though? To restore OTA for XEU updates?

Yea, not sure if BTU firmware would succeed with an XEU OTA, possible it would fail / brick or just not find any OTA at all as the build number the CSC is looking for would not be present
There are guides to flash from XEU to BTU but so far they all failed for me, the main one is to flash to a completely different region first that is not included in the BTU CSC, KSA was recommended, but that just failed and bricked my phone, after about 4-5 different attempts using different guides to get the BTU CSC I gave up
I have had BTU on here before with the N beta last year but not since flashing back to XEU
Hello,
last days I flashed the new Oreo firmware for my SM-G930F, available now only for UK (BTU CSC code). I used the last odin version 3.13.1. When the firmware was flashed, after factory recet I received my old CSC code (XEO). I wrote in forums, that if I want to changthe default CSC I have to set in odin settings Repartition. So yesterday evening I decided to reflash the firmware, but now with ticked Repartiotion. When I cklicked on Start, afer one two seconds red Fail windows has been shown. Why I can't flash the firmware with set Repartition? Does somebody have an idea what went wrong?
Reasons why I want to change the CSC code by default from XEO to BTU is that BTU receives the updates at the earliest!

BTU contains XEU as it is Multi-CSC, you cannot switch between them directly
You need to flash a different region CSC not included in BTU first, then flash BTU

Which for example? Can I use one of the following: VOD or VDI? Both of them have available Oreo firmwares. Oherwise I have to downgrade to Nougat (by the way, how can I downgrade using odin?)

One with the same bootloader version as you are running, probably version 2
You can tell by this number in the firmware version
G930FXXU2ERD5
Have a look in download mode for B:2 or whatever number it says and match to the firmware
Downgrade the same way you upgrade, but use ODIN 3.12.7 for Nougat
Do not flash the VOD (vodafone) Oreo, it is bricking devices, very broken, only flash BTU Oreo

Exactly the same as XEO is also included in the BTU CSC

What about flashing the same firmware with odin 3.13.1, but with ticked repartition in the option? This, regarding the comments in sammobile forum works. But for me doesn't. Maybe for Oreo it doesn't work or there is something specifically to do?
I can't catch your proposal for flashing the other firmware. Can you tell me which exactly firmware I have to flash first, later on to receive BTU Oreo CSC as default?
