Hello,
Hello, I am looking for a way to activate the call recording function on a Samsung Galaxy A53 5G.
Some ROM has this function, but it is blocked in France and Europe.
On a previous model (A50) it was possible to force the use of a specific rom file without going through a ROOT step.
Thank you for your information which is of interest to many users.
-----------------
Bonjour, Je cherche le moyen d'activer la fonction enregistrement des appel sur un Samsung Galaxy A53 5G.
Certaines ROM dispose de cette fonction, mais cela est bloqué en france et europe.
Sur un modèle précèdent (A50) il était possible de forcer l'utilisation d'un fichier rom spécifique sans passer par une étape de ROOT.
Merci pour vos infos qui intéressons beaucoup d'utilisateurs
Maybe by updating the CSC with the Thai ROM: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a53/firmware/SM-A536E/THL/download/A536EXXU2AVD7/1638437/
through odin...
or this method :
Thanks for reply

for A536E you can find call recording in :
SEK
CAL MYM THL XXV
EGY and ILO
1 : you must find how to change CSC ( vidéo méthod is for old device so not sure it will work for you )
2 : after saving all your data , you can try to change your firmware ( if working ) to one of A536E
3 : change CSC
if you don't want some problem , the only good méthod i know , is resetting device after changin CSC
french regards
If I'm right A536E have a different processor

Hello, I need to buy a new phone. I just need good battery and the ability to record phone calls by changing CSC.
How can i check which Samsung models have CSC with call recording?
I was going to buy A536B and then I luckily found your post that it is not possible to use SEK with call recording...
Thank you very much!
some users have ported A536E CSC to A536B devices
if you only want call recording ASUS zenfone have all native call recording ( Word Wide firmware )
exemple with my zenfone 6 :
Does it mean that we are doomed with A536B?
can i change my wife A53 / 5g from XME CSC TO DBT CSC ?
A536E.
THANKS

Hello @yakapa40 , which tool do you use to extract firmware ? Did you manually look for xml file and seek for RecordingAllowed? I have A33 5G what is similiat to A53, but I see that on sammobile are firmware for Russia or Kyrgyzstan (should allow call recording) one version beyond actual release in another world.
Or it is sufficient to download older FW (ex. Russia), extract, a and flash only CSC via Odin?
Odin has warning that if is downgrading, it can may stuck in bootloop.
Does it preserve security stuff like secure folder, google pay and so on?
Thanks
Hello

I am trying to do the opposite of yours, and according to a different thread here, you can, but i could not. I did not see any success stories except a single comment.
PS, You should reconsider if you want Call Recording, you might lose Network Bands in 4G/5G. EUX (European Union) has standardized set of bands that the operators follow, Ukraine may be using bands that EU does not.
I've imported once a Middle East Note 8 where 4G never worked on it until i changed the CSC to my actual location. This can be very relevant for 4G+ (LTE-A), where it uses multiple bands, and that combination can differ between operators let alone regions or countries.
Hello i have an SM-A536B/DS.
Is there a csc with call record for this one?
Thanks in advance.
from what I see A536E and A536B has same hardware so I think it will be possible to flash csc

it`s better to try root, I guess. Another option is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstar.callrecorder&hl=en_US&gl=US works okay. Later I will test it thought bluetooth in the car.

To each their own. I do not see any reason to root anymore, especially since i've grown fond of the samsung services.
Anyway, my attempt to switch variant was not for call recording, it's more about carrier compatibility for LTE and 5G bands, and of course faster OTA's.

Hello,
I purchased my galaxy watch 4 from Amazon US, and when I wanted to install esim from local carrier in Israel I was told that the phone is not supported (they asked my IMEI and Eid and tried to register the watch on their side). I looked up and I can see that the band support in the US differs from the one in Israel- you can see the screenshots I made from the Samsung US site and the Samsung IL site.
Is there a way to modify the watch region in order for it to work under IL LTE bands? or does Samsung manufacture unique hardware for each region?
Thanx in advance

Donno yet. I will update after I try it
Just remember as stated, you can not go back if you change your csc. So be very careful in what you choose because I will not be responsible just giving you a suggestion . I have NOT tried this....
I finally got to this task today, and when I try to reach the CSC change scree by dialing, from the watch, *#272*IMEI number# I get UNKNOWN APPLICATION message in my phone. Any ideas how to reach the CSC screen?
I have limited time...

I bought this s21+ G996B Exynos from a local shop.
Since I bought this phone I don't remember that there was a single update available for it.
See the screenshots for details.
Can any one tell which country CSC is this in screenshots. I can't seem to identify it.
I am looking to upgrade to Android 12 and not interested in root (but if its the only way to go to android 12 then I guess its ok)
Should I change CSC ? Will that enable updates for me. Is there a a process for S21+
Any other way to upgrade?

Tried Frija to download any updates but it says no updates found.
Rule #1 if the firmware is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission... let it be.
Upgrades can and do break things.
There are many reported issues with 12.
Security simply isn't a major issue with Android 9 and up.
You can always update latter if you want or need to...

Hi
Those CSC that you show are really strange , I could not find out what WWD is from and XAA ( least important one) is from USA??
What would I do? ....change your active CSC (WWD) , if you are not rooted , try this first , if that do not work you will have to pay for the service (SamKey) , change your active CSC to Pakistan (PAK) for example , or any other country you choose ang get regular updates
Pakistan had several already since june , check here

Which region is better considering
1. I have an samsung active 2 watch and I would like to use its BP and ECG features. On watch I had changed the CSC to korean and features are available on it but not on the mobile at the moment.
2. Will a BTU firmware https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G996B/BTU/G996BXXU4BULF work on my device
3. If I change the CSC only will the updates start working on right away?

Hi
Which region is better? i guess everyone has an opinion , myself any of the multi csc OXM
Regarding your questions
1 no idea
2 if a saw correctly you have a G-996B , it should work fine , BTU is a good choice
3 Yes it should , watch out , when you change the CSC you will factory reset the phone
If you use the dialer method , the CSC of choice has to be present in the rom installed in the phone , I can see you have an OXM so it should , if not , then you should flash an OXM first and the change to the desire CSC
With Samkey they recommend to flash the correct rom after changing the CSC
Backup before you do anything

Flashing firmware does no longer change CSC. If the dailer codes don't work you have to use paid Samkey service. I did and it works perfectly fine. Changed from TNL (T-Mobile branded) to VDF (Vodafone branded) and have full VoLTE/WiFi/Other carrier apps functionality including OTA updates now through Vodafone.

Hello all,
I lived in Germany for a while and bought a S22 Ultra (CSC code EUX).
I moved back to South Africa and Samsung Pay is not working "Samsung Pay isn't available on your phone".
My plan is to change my CSC to South Africa by flashing the device, but the problem is I cannot find the South African firmware (CSC code) for my Model Number.
Model number is SM-S908B/DS.
I can only see South African CSC Firmware (XFA or XFE) for model number SM-S908E.
If I use this firmware, will I brick the phone?

You can use SamFW tool to change CSC to XFA/XFE, as it's available in S908B firmware. However, you wont't receive any OTA updates due to South African devices being S908E. You need to flash via Odin every updates of S908B (CSC and data will be kept). You can't flash S908E firmware, it's not compatible.

The reason for this is initially, Samsung intended to use Exynos (B model) for more regions (including SA), but then decided to switch to Snapdragon. Hence the presence of SA CSC in Exynos firmwares, and future OTA updates not being released for S908B XFA/XFE.
However, manually flashing each full update (around 8 to 9GB) each month is probably bad for device's flash memory. So I recommend selling your device and buy a South African S908E.
Hey everyone!
Recently I purchased Samsung Galaxy S10e in Ukraine. I noticed that the latest software update was on May 1, 2021. It is not updated automatically after the phone setup. When I check for new updates on settings it doesn't suggest any more recent versions. So I decided to update my phone to the latest firmware. But I couldn't find non-carrier firmware for Ukraine https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s10e/firmware/#SM-G970F. It only has Ukraine (Kyivstar) which is not what I use.
Could anyone suggest what firmware I should use and where to get it from? Attaching my current versions

I just downloaded the following version of firmware: https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G970F/SEK/G970FXXUFHVG4
I tried to install it, but after starting the process in Odin I got a "secure check fail: (pit)" on my phone and Odin stopped the process. Could that be the low battery level (e.g lower than 40%)?
One of the reasons I found over the internet is that the issue may be due to corrupted firmware
Compare your checksum with that on the download page.
It may be that your phone is refurbished and there is no possibility to update the firmware because it has been blocked.
Sorry, how can I compare the checksum? Where do I get my checksum and the one to compare with?
BTW, when I reload in "download mode" I see the field - carrier_id: LUC. Can this actually mean something and impact the version of firmware I need to pick up?
put file in https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/hash_my_files.html and compare with ea8f33e9f51265730f235ce56afc9e74 from https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G970F/SEK/G970FXXUFHVG4
Download phone info 3.8.5 and check if there is anything suspicious in the phone's description.
I installed phone info app and it says that my phone is a refurbished one. Also, it says that Knox Warranty Void status has been tripped. @ze7zez so this can be the reason I can't install other firmware, correct?
Here are some screenshot I have from the "phone info" app
LUC is korean CSC for G970N
so your device is not original but a mixed from G970N with a part of G970F

You won't update this phone, but it's okay to live with as long as you don't use confidential channels on the internet, e.g. bank, social media, etc.

Yeah, that's the problem. I need the functionality of banking apps, google pay, etc. Non-functioning google pay was actually the main reason I decided to install the firmware. Having that, unfortunately, I will have to talk to the seller and try to return it back.
Anyway, I wouldn't figure that out without you guys @ze7zez @yakapa40. Thank you so much for the help!
@yakapa40 sorry one more question: how did you figure out that my phone is a refurbished mix from G970N with a part of G970F? What exact facts point to that?
BTW, when I reload in "download mode" I see the field - carrier_id: LUC

as your device is rooted maybe some part of firmware have been changed or renamed
Hello. I bought an s22 ultra SM-S908E/DS in Dubai/UAE but I have now moved to India permanently. The phone lacks the CALL RECORDING feature. I hear also Samsung Pay India does not work. Not sure if there are any other issues. Please can someone guide me on how to change.
I tried an earlier post for an older phone - go recovery, factory reset, reboot with indian sim card - but this does NOT work. I've tried it twice now.
Is there another option available ? Can I download the latest India firmware from from the site below and upgrade the firmware using Odin ? Any specific settings or process to be considered ? It will also be useful to know if there is someone on this forum who has successfully migrated - and got the call recording enabled etc.

I will be very grateful for your assistance.
PS. Another post I read asked if the phone has 'test mode'. What is test mode ? Is this the test mode you get by typing *#0*# in the call option ? It does have it..
UAE and India both sharing OXM group so it doesn't make any difference by flashing firmware as both are same.
Using Indian SIM should be fine, if not, just factory reset with keeping Indian SIM installed should work, it's weirdo it doesn't work
Kindly post screenshot of setting - about phone - software info

Meanwhile, I called Samsung Care India ( Kerala ) and tried to ask if they can assist - and and they will not upgrade/change the firmware it seems - which I find quite strange.
Will try the firmware and advise update asap. I sincerely hope it is successful. The phone is still under warranty.... so very keen to know if someone has already successfully upgraded this.
PS. Also, I hear that the code *#*#27262826#*#* was used with earlier Android versions to get the CSC codes included in your phone. Is there something similar which displays for the s22 ultra running

Are you sure you have Indian SIM installed? Info doesn't showing Indian SIM
If still issue you can change CCS with this tool
Thanks for this info. Yes. Indian sim installed. Infact, did a reset both a BSNL sim and also with a Vi ( Vodafone-Idea ) sim - and yet - I don't have these.
So - please can you provide more detail on what needs to be done with this tool ? am I looking to change CSC only ? or FRP ? Please provide some detailed info if available - thanks.
As an update.. and for the benefit of others.
Samsung s22 ultra SM-S908E purchased in UAE ( XSG ).
Downloaded latest INS firmware files from sammobile. Used all files AP/BL/CP. Used CSC ( not home-csc). did not use the repartition option. Firmware went thru - however software remained as XSG.
Retried firmware with the repartition option - but Odin failed.
Thereafter, used the SamFw FRP Tool 3.31 and changed CSC to INS - which successfully changed for ins/ins,ins/xsg/xsg ( not sure if this is normal ).
But now, call recording function is now enabled. and no issues with Indian sim. I hope OTA updates will continue.
Will be keen to hear any further concerns or suggestions.

Hi, after changing your CSC to INS are you getting OTA updates ?
Any other changes with the device ?

Yes - OTA updates are working. I have received atleast one since I upgraded. No other changes I can find as yet - except that the software shows a dual INS/INS,INS/XSG/XSG on my phone and I wonder what that means
Hi @imustbehuman,
I am also thinking of buying the dubai unit, want to know if 5G and Spay is working for you after csc change.
Also, for how much did you buy and from where.
Bought on Amazon. I believe Samsung pay works but I have not used it. Adding accounts etc definitely works fine. 5G works fine in Dubai but I have not tested in India ( as yet ) since my sim operator Vodafone does not have 5G in this area as yet. But if it works in one place - then it should work fine elsewhere as well.

You only need to change CSC to INS , no need for indian firmware, since it is a part of OXM software group

If I remember well - I read the same thing earlier but it did not work for me. And I had to go through all the steps I mentioned.

Sure you are doing something Wrong , It've been tested 100 times over this forum including myself , no need to flash a complete INS firmware as long as your device is with OXM firmware
