Question XSG to EGY CSC swap using sim card - Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

Hi all, I have s22 ultra and I bought it from UAE, the CSC is obviously XSG. However I'm using the device now in Egypt and I have an egyptian sim card, I want to change the CSC to EGY so that I can benefit from the options like native call recording which is still working in samsung devices in Egypt
My question is there a way to change the CSC with only using the sim card and without flashing or complicated ways?
I read before that If I have the sim card from certain countries I can change the CSC easily using factory reset, but I don't know the exact steps. So is this still working or is it blocked by Samsung?

You should try out the SamFW app to easely change csc (even without wipe). Backup your phone first of course. If you have test mode it will work. And it's totaly free .
Cheers !

The tip is 100% cut&paste from mine, health to all
And NO you can't always change back the csc because on some csc the test mode is blocked and then SamFW doesn't work. It relies on the test mode. Sometimes it doesn't work on the current csc, sometimes on the new csc. So it may not work on the current csc or it may not work on the new csc. So you can either get stuck on the current csc or you may be stuck on the new csc. If you have a friend with the new csc he can check if test mode works. But he must have the exact device like you. Also they may block the test mode on the new Android 13 that is coming. You never know !
Cheers.

Well this is very informative, thanks and I hope they never lock the test mode

@DaOldMan @Mem_0 thanks guys it worked like a charm, also for EGY the test mode still there so I guess this means I can go back to XSG of I want
One more question though please, I can still see in the service provider software version it's still EGY/EGY,EGY/XSG/XSG. What does those XSGs means and is there any meaning to their existence?

The last XSG can't be changed unless rooted. It's the "original csc" which is the csc where the device was manufactured. Don't remember now the one before last. But the two with the comma between them are the currently used CSC for Sim1 and Sim2 and they are Egy so you will now use Egy csc for the rom.

I have TNL on the end, can I change that to EUX with root? And than revert to stock to receive OTA's?

No need to change the last CSC code. Those last two are just for Samsung to know where you bought it. It doesn't affect updates or how the rom works. This is affected by the first 3 csc codes.
With root you can change everything. But as I said, it will do nothing for you.

Than why people with EUX/EUX/_/EUX get the update as soon as Samsung releases it and I have to wait 3 days, week or even longer?

Eux is not one csc. It also has associated country called "country ISO" like DBT for Germany, XEO for Poland or BTU for U.K! Which country ISO is yours? There is a guide how to change that btw (no idea if it works or if does any damage, also some say Alliance Shield doesn't work now):
Samsung Pay in german, CSC is EUX fix, 5 minutes
Hello This also works with most Samsung phones If anyone is struggling with Samsung pay being in German and has the csc being EUX, I know how to solve the issue and it only takes about 5 minutes. Basically the csc is set to EUX, which is the new European standard, but for some reason, Samsung...

Flashed the PHN, tested the codes, they worked, then i flashed BTU from Samfirmware and all is working now.
Can someone, Please, help providing me with BGL CSC (it is for Bulgaria - not branded). I have downloaded the latest G930F BGL firmware from SamMobile which is multi-CSC but when I install it, it installs XEO CSC (Poland). If you could help me with advise I would appreciate it.
@rifek4, can I change the CSC with Phone Info app without rooting? I don't want to root.
@rifek4, thank for all your help. I will skip the part with the rooting because I do not want to trigger the knox and I want to use Samsung Pass/Pay, Google Pay etc. I thought that there might be a single BGL CSC file to flash or a button combination like *#272*imei# (which is not working).

Getting 5G/VoLTE working on SM-N9860 (HK Note 20 Ultra 5G)

Hello,
I purchased a Note 20 Ultra 5G (SM-N9860) from Wonda Mobile because I wanted the Snapdragon processor.
My previous Samsung phones are XSG region (UAE), so after some research it seems that if I change the CSC code from TGY to XSG I could get those functionalities. Is this correct?
Any way to get those functionalities working? Preferably without root?

XSG is exynos firmware... will never work in a snapdragon... 5g should work try to put the sim card in the slot sim2. voLTE will never work i think.

Thanks for the reply.
I just called my service provider, seems like they can see that my device supports 5G, but they told me I need a new 5G SIM card, because my SIM card is old.
So I'll see how that goes and report back.

I am in the same situation as you are. I also got the phone to the UAE but can't get 5G. I just changed the SIM card but that did not make a difference. VoLTE works but no matter what I try it just won't connect to 5G

Question SD Native call recording & CSC (without rooting)

Hi everyone,
Looking for some insight and more educated projections.
I'm in Canada, and our phones (SD) typically didn't get native call recording (or any recording allowed as a matter of fact after Pie was rolled out). I had to purchase a phone from overseas (EXY) and load it with IND CSC for it to work.
Now that India, along with Thailand and most of the other countries that have native call recording enabled, would that mean phones purchased in Canada could have it activated by changing CSC as well?
I understand this is new territory and has never happened before, but I'm just wondering what the thoughts are, or if anyone of you are influencers who already have your hands on a phone sold in the US/Canada can test it out?
Thanks
I've been using this for years. Probably over 10 years or something like that. No root required. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...cord-phone-calls-from-the-phone-line.1441643/

BUT seems like indonesia now uses snapdragon (SM-908E) so (i think) it is not compatible with our eur (i'm in italy OXM) phone.

Enabling Native Call Recorder through CSC
Hello, Thanks to this XDA thread and some other sources I was able to compile a list of CSC codes that enable native call recording on Samsung ROMs. This is the list: Indonesia (XID) Vietnam (XXV) Ukraine (SEK) Israel (ILO) India (INS) Thailand...
forum.xda-developers.com
would be compatible, but at the moment Firja doesn't find anythink.
any suggestions?
Although it is very early as the phone didn't contribute all over the world, it seems that many of the countries which had csc with call recording permissions will take snapdragon version (SM-S908E). F.e . Indonesia, Thailand, India.
This is very sad for the rest of us who have exynos version..
Since now, even Samkey supports s22 ultra for changing CSC..
We will see..

Don't work in Exynos Variants (SM-S908B). Works only with the speakerphone
I'm wondering if it's just band differences for the different SD models because most if not all of the hardware should be the same across the board with the SD variants?
I guess we'll find out soon. I really prefer to get a phone locally in Canada as opposed to having a 908E shipped here...

Hi to ALL
In a different section i ask question about csc with native call recording in Exynos edition.
This is the answer i get
Code:
BTB,BTE,EVR,MEO,MET,SFR,TSI,BKD,BOG,CAU,EUX,EUY,INS,MOB,MOT,MSR,NPL,O2C,PLS,PRT,SEK,SER,SIM,SKZ,SWC,TIM,TOP,VIP,CPW,WWA,WWC,WWD,ACR,AFG,AFR,DKR,ECT,EGY,FWD,ILO,ILP,KSA,LYS,MID,MWD,PAK,SLK,SRR,TUN,TUR,XFA,XFE,XFV,XSG
Among these Call recording available on following
BKD,EGY,ILO,INS,LYS,NPL,SEK,SLK,TUN
So there is a hope... when Samkey will support S22 eventually.
However the fact ,that Frija not funding any firmware yet is little disturbing.
we have to wait and see what the future will bring , hope les than 21 days.... so some of us can change mind and send it back.

Check what CSC got now. Maybe EUX - this is a multi-CSC so you don't have to install firmware, just change CSC with samkey.
To check the CSC dial a code on your device’s dialer itself. code to dial is *#1234#.
Wheeej, successfully changed to "SEK" on "EUX" and call recording is here!

Good news! So SEK (Ukraine) CSC has native call recording . Did you just flash the SEK firmware through ODIN (the SEK firmware can be found to sammobile)? Or you use Samkey (although Samkey says that s22 ultra is not supported yet). Please , let us know
just samkey :- )

I think that odin doesn't work because sek csc is included in oxm multi-csc so, using home_csc, simply has no effect

Question Galaxy S21+ does not auto-update

Guys
I am using SM-G996UZSAVZW here in Pakistan. This is a Verizon USA S21+ that is imported to Pakistan. My problem is, I have to manually update through ODIN every time there is an update. The software update option does not work within the about section of the phone. I am guessing It has something to do with not being bound to Verizon anymore. I have ended up updating every 3rd or 4th month to save myself the hassle of updating all the time.
Can someone tell me if there is a workaround so the OTA works from the phone itself? Maybe I can install ROM from another region that lets me auto-update? Any ideas would be appreciated.

The reason it's not working is because the CSC was modified. The XAA sales code goes with U1 firmware, not U. So basically, your phone doesn't think that you have valid firmware installed, since XAA is not one of the valid sales codes that goes with U firmware.
If you flash U1 firmware, that will likely solve the problem

Thanks a lot. Can you go a step further and suggest which U1 firmware should I install? On samfw I am just not sure about which U1.
Maybe this one is the correct one?

Hello,
I have a quite similar situation with OP. My phone was importrd from the US to the Philippines and I don't get automatic OTA updates as well. I just update via Odin every 3 - 4 months and I always choose the G996U VZW firmwares.
I'm wondering if I can also flash a U1 firmware to activate OTA updates and what CSC should I choose? because I can't seem to see GCF as part of the firmware list for G996U1

Hello,
I flashed from G996U to G996U1 XAA version. Not sure if I did it right because, yes I see G996U1 on my software version but I don't see XAA btw this is the October update for XAA, and not sure If i should be receiving the Android 13 OTA update already.
Can you check sir if I did it right? Or is there anything that I should do differently?

You don't need to do anything differently. Android 13 has not yet been released for this model, and probably will not for at least 1 more month
Hello, I also face the same problem however mine is SM-G996B could you please advise whether the G996U1UES5CVI8 with CSC of XAS will be okay for me to use?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Running that FRP tool on Virus total produced 5 hits... I'd double check the reliability of that tool before installing and hooking up your phone.

Haven't checked it myself but they provide virustotal link on their website and it wasn't showing malware

Pretty much all tools like that will have some hits, in at least one database, due to the exploits that they use. Doesn't necessary mean that it's malicious

Why are you looking for USA firmware, for a non USA phone? That's not how it works

I bought it overseas. I thought it would work by using my carrier stock firmware.

The only non USA devices that you can flash USA firmware to are Canadian devices
This is so awesome, i'm so glad that this was just recently posted. I just received my phone a couple days ago with S908U1UES2AVI5. I followed the steps from the OP and immediately was able to download and install the update. It is currently on the black screen with the android updating progressbar, waiting for this to finish.
Edit: Just to note that I have XAG
Edit2: Updated to S908U1UEU2BVJA
Thanks!
has anyone got November security update post ONE UI 5?

Here u go.
But this version didn't worked for me, so I had to use older version.
I threw in a Tmobile simcard and the update went through, then after the install I swapped back my original Sim.

It's really easy. Enable USB debugging in developers mode, plug in phone to your PC and open FRP Tool, write TMB in CSC field and press change CSC. That's it
Ok, seems that it's time to stop waiting and just use what we have on hand here.
Im on factory unlocked S908U1, in Europe, with European SIM.
Build number: SP1A.210812.016.S908U1UES2AVI5
Service provider software version:
SAOMC_SM-S908U1_OYM_XAA_12_0028
XAA/XAA,ATT/ATT
Here I'm puzzled, because I've never used eSIM, and it shows ATT for some reason.
Question for more experienced members here:
Is there any problem for me to update with TMB? If it's all the same, why we are waiting so long updates for unlocked s22?

Change CSC to TMB and you'll get update. Don't forget to remove Sim before changing it
