Hello everyone,
Not sure I post in the right section.
I bought a note 10 ultra in HK with TGY rom but living in France.
Stuck with the HK Samsung Pay app with card limitations to HK cards.
I tried to flash it with a BRI rom (Taiwan) to look to the differences (Samsung Pay but also 4g/5g etc).
Flashing with last odin app.
First I tried multiple times to flash directly a BRI rom. Odin always show a "PASS" with no fails but every time phone is restarting with TGY rom.
I thought something was wrong but then I tried to flash CHC rom from China. Worked and restarted with CHC rom.
Evidence that the flashing process is working.
After that I reflashed with a BRI rom and ended up with again a TGY rom in the phone.
Strange or normal or are the rom I downloaded marked as BRI but in reali6are TGY roms???
Thank you for your help,
Michel

Hello.
Is it possible to use Nougat UK firmware G930FXXU1DPLT for my unlocked german phone. It currently has G930FXXU1BPLB. The phone CSC is DBT with CSC country of Germany/DE. Country of Origin: made in Vietnam.
I did search but can't confirm from what I've read so far.
Thank you.
Yes you can just did it some hours ago and it's working like a charm
Ok, I flashed nougat and all went well.
I used the lasted firmware from here: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=38264056ECF011E69215FA163EE8F90B
Country/Region: United Kingdom
PDAG930FXXU1DQB3
CSCG930FOXA1DQB1
PhoneG930FXXU1DQB1
However, my csc is still DBT instead of BTU. I checked "re-partition" per instructions here: https://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30800
How do I get BTU to stick? I even tried going into recovery and wiping and factory resetting. It didn't work.
Why do you ant BTU?
The BTU is a Multi-CSC which also beside others include the DBT-CSC.
I think soon we will have the offical Nougat DBT then you might need to flash again with Odin, if you want to have OTA-Updates.
Also you do not have to enable "Re-Partition". Just flash with the normal CSC (not the HOME_CSC if you want to change your CSC) but keep in mind that with flashing the normal CSC all data on the internal ROM is lost.

Thanks for the reply.
I wanted BTU because I've read on several posts that I won't receive OTA updates if CSC is crossed with BTU and DBT. I also wanted samsung apps to stop defaulting to Deutschland since I can't read it.
Thanks again.

I have a DBT S7 and I flashed the BTU version as well. Just select Home CSC and it will keep all your data saved. If you select CSC_ it will erase the phone. Also the apps are in German based on location. You will need a VPN to use some apps in English
Question:
Firmware for Germany has now been released. Should I now download the Germany firmware and replace my BTU (UK) firmware? Or since only the CSC file seem to be different, should I Odin just the CSC file?
Hi,
I expect this is a fairly repetitive question but I've been reading for a bit and getting confused.
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S8+ with model SM-G955F. It's an O2 UK phone with a CSC of O2U. I'm getting a bit frustrated that O2 still haven't released their Oreo build, but hearing people are happily flashing the BTU software to their devices.
I can see the BTU software for download here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8-plus/SM-G955F/BTU/download/G955FXXU1CRB7/211557/
Is it purely a case of download Odin and follow the instructions to flash the firmware? Or do I need to do anything special to change my CSC from O2U to BTU first?
Thanks
the process will factory reset your phone but flashing the CSC of your choice is fine from O2, I had a phone from 3uk and it had a code I cannot remember but I flashed the OXM CSC just fine
One relative bought me a Samsung Note 10 from China. It's a very beautiful phone. However, it doesn't have Google Play Store, worst of all, the default search engine and location service is Baidu.
It seems the Chinese version of Note 10 has same Model number and specs to the ones for Hong Kong and Taiwan, so I tried flash the TGY and BRI firmware with Odin, but both failed when flashing "system.img.ext". Thanks for goodness, I was able to revive the phone with Odin by flashing it back with CHC chinese firmware.
Did I missed some important steps? Or is it possible to flash China SM-N9700 (CHC) with Hong Kong (TGY) / Taiwan (BRI) ROM?
Any advise is appreciated!
Thanks
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaahoooo!
Figured it our myself. It worked !!!!
The Chinese version of Samsung SM-N9700 is actually identical to Hong Kong / Taiwan version.
Here are the tips to rebrand it to Taiwan or Hong Kong version.
1. Download the official firmware of N9700 for Taiwan or Hong Kong (must be higher or same version of your device)
2. Boot into download mode
3. Use Odin to refresh, there are two CSC files in the firmware package, make sure to use the CSC_* file, DO NOT use the HOME_CSC* file it will cause failure on system.img.ext4 flash. Using the simple CSC_ file will wipe everything off your phone and put the phone back to the true factory state, make sure you backup your stuff if you want to keep anything on the device.
4. Enjoy the beautiful Note 10 with Google Play Store installed ))
!!! Warning, do not flash if you don't understand what I am talking about above!!!
Do you know if it's possible to install Android 10 beta on it ? Thanks
I have a n9700 HK me too

I don't think there is Android 10 BETA for N9700 model yet.
Personally I have no interest to test the BETA even if it become available.

Guess that your Chinese version is equipped with 5G. How does the change in firmware affect this? Is 5G still available after flashing?

No idea, there won't be 5G coverage in my city for at least a couple of years, by that time, the Note 10 will be definitely retired.

OK. Thanks. Trust that HK firmware won't have 5G.
Hi. I have the s10 plus smg9750 china version. I want to flash the Hong Kong firmware. Do i just flash the CSC for the latest Hong Kong version (which is the same version as my china version) or do I flash BL, AP etc? Can u give me a step by step approach to change my Chinese version to hong kong. I keep getting fail on Odin. Thanks
Hi, im unable to change firmware on my samsung galaxy note 20 ultra. Currently its UAE. I have downloaded srilanka firmware, successfully flashed it using odin. But when the phone is started it showes still on UAE. Kindly help or guide me on this issue.
Is UAE the firmware version or the CSC?
If it's the firmware version it's strange you can flash and get success then go back to the older firmware but if it's CSC then it's understandable.
You may need to look up how to change your CSC version, there are guides on here...
Flashing an OXM rom won't change your CSC but the firmware version will change.

For people who can't switch between csc in the same mult csc pack. OXM multi csc pack contains all the european generic and network branded firmware (csc) so if You are at XSG (part of OXM multi pack), and flash it with SLK (part of OXM multi pack) the XSG will stay. What you need to do is to flash it with different multi csc pack (just see what packs are available for your model), try to flash Brazil CSC ZTO, which is part of multi pack OWO. then flash it back with OXM multi pack, and it should switch to some generic csc, then if you instert your sim card it should ask you if you want to customize your phone to the inserted sim card and it will change your csc to the one you want.
Can't change the CSC of XSG
Hi all
Anyone need call recording option, flash Indonesia firmware (XID)
Or Chinese stock ROM.
Hi, I have a sm-n9860 with the taiwan samsung pay and I want to switch to the Hong Kong sw version (both are sm-n9860) as I travel there often and I'd like to add the public transportation card on my phone.
How can I do that? Will a clean install work?
Thanks
Should do as both stock ROMs are for SM-N9860 variant.
So is the stock Chinese ROM compatible with this variant (I'm using it - I switched from Taiwan stock ROM) ).
Make sure you backup all your data to an external memory first, then clean flash the HK stock ROM via ODIN.

Have you done anything special?
I was on android 11 BRI

I Removed my accounts from my phone, removed SIM & SD, and entered download mode
I've used Odin3 v3.14.1_3B_PatcheD to flash it, by simply adding the 4 files
Once done, I'm still on BRI
What else can I try?

I give up.
I tried downgrading and it won't work.
I tried flashing TGY again and it stays on BRI.
Oh well, I guess that I'll never have the Octopus card on my phone.
