Hi, I've been away from Samsung devices for some years and now I'm having a little trouble understanding some stuff.
I'm on the OWO multi-csc and my csc is TMM which is from Mexico. My device is the E version.
Samsung just published that they will be rolling the Android 13 update until December. And I really want to try the new update.
Is there any problem if I switch to any firmware from the OXM region? I don't really mind losing some features as call recording, I would just like to keep caller id to block spam calls, and that's it. As I suppose everything else should work as usual, am I right?
And the way to do it, would be to use Odin and use home_csc to keep data?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Edit: also, dumb question: why isn't it possible to switch from the SM-908 E version to the U one??

Hello friends, I'm trying to fix up a GT-N8000 for a friend, it's got ZCBLL5 firmware on it(he got it from china somehow). It did not come with the play store(or any google apps), and since he's an apple guy, he turned to me for help. As it's not my tablet, and i haven't messed much with samsung devices, i don';t want to brick it, so i'm turning to the xda community for a bit of help. We're located in canada, however i see there isn't a canadian firmwrae for this variant. Which would be the best region FW to install, and would it mess up the 3g ability, like would it mess up the IMEI or the CSC. Or would i be better off to root and sideload/flash GAPPS? And would the 3g still function here in canada with the chinese FW. Thanks in advance
Well the german firmware is the one which is updated first so I would advice either the German one or the Nordic one, once you do that you will stop receiving OTA and will have to manually update. I am from India and have installed german and Nordic ones cell services just work fine. The issue with IMEI getting messed to my knowledge will happen only with custom roms.
Once you install any of these roms you will get gapps automatically
Hello,
I've had my GT-N8000 since 2013 it has 3G option and is ulocked.
I remember when i got it it had a baseband N8000XXALI3, i remember cos I wrote it on the box! Back then it had the very first rom edition of 4.0 something and wanted to update the firmware but no updates were available at the time. I waited a couple of months and after that i flashed on it the german 4.1.2 stock rom using Odin. My Tablet is unlocked so all went well and it still runs very well. It's not rooted.
Currently my tablet has the following info:
AP: N8000XXCMA1
CP: N8000XXCLL1
CSC: N8000XACMA1
Now when looking for updates, none show up on OTA or KIES, and i really need to update to the latest official rom which as I understand is 4.4 but I don't know which file to download. Can you help me? Anything I need to do before that? Backup a Nand or EFS? I don't really know what those are!
Any advice on which rom to use and keep the s-pen functionality and 3G? Are there any new roms for marshmallow?
Thank you kindly in advance.

Baseband is modem not firmware .
Thank you for replying,
I have already went to that page and I wanted to make sure which rom to download, there are many 4.4.2 but none of them are for my country. And to tell you the truth, this tablet was offered to me as a gift back then from overseas and I'm not sure of its country of origin. I there a way to know that?
So I'm not sure which rom to download and flash without messing something up!
Sorry for the noob questions, the more details you can provide will be appreciated. And thanks again.
Download for your location/network/model.
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
My device is unlocked as in not bound to a cell carrier and neither my location nor my provider are available in that list of roms.
In that case what's the best option?
Thank you kindly.

I have been wondering if I can use any of the U firmware on the R4.
Actually, this is just a question per se since I did the upgrade to Nougat yesterday and the U version doesn't have Nougat, I just want to know if this is possible. FYI my phone is GSM Unlocked, is not yet rooted due to me being lazy, but I know that doesn't matter since it's an Odin task.
Edit: I have made further investigation and the G930R4 uses the Product Code (USC) which is available to download for the G930U too, now I should wait for a real confirmation of this.
Answering my own question and for others to know.
You can flash any USA firmware on any USA variant.
Anyone have a combination file for S7 G930R4 Android 8?

As a fellow U1 owner, I advise to be careful when flashing stuff on here. While we CAN use G950U-targeted ROMs, We have the unbranded XAA ROM, and most of the ROMs posted here are carrier branded. It doesn't really harm the phone, but adds bloatware. PartCyborgRom added a bunch of AT&T preloaded apps, so I went back to stock. That in itself is a bit tricky as the phone wanted to OTA AT&T version of the ROM then. Had to find an XAA stock tar and flash CSC as well (even tho I don't think I flashed CSC during my PartCyborgRom install). On the plus side I managed to do all this without tripping Knox at least.
G950U1 OTA current seems to be G950U1UES3CRE2 and this is with the May 2018 update. So this could be June update, but maybe not. Even with AOSP sometimes Android doesn't release the security updates for a month until the middle of the month, so to believe that Samsung already ..modified.. the update for their own ROM is a little suspicious. But whatever.
To answer your question, yes, it should work. But, I wouldn't do it.

hi
Someone please help me, I just got a galaxy watch 4 bluetooth from india and the csc was INU
I don't know how all this works and just wanted samsung pay so I followed the instructions and changed the code to MEA and UAE country and got samsung pay.
Now I read that my warranty would be void as I change my CSC code and that I won't receive OTA updates anymore also functions like Call and Text on other devices are not available on the watch anymore.
I am freaking out!
I want to revert to the original INU India CSC.
Please help me what to do , I think I have spoilt my device otherwise as I will no longer have warranty or OTA support anymore.

You don't get OTA software updates?
To what region have you changed your CSC?

That's strange because you get OTAs otherwise. Do you have the bluetooth or LTE version?
