Flashed wrong firmware and now it won't flash back

I had the Australian optus (OPS) firmware for the A51. In settings - about phone - software information - service provider SW ver. Said OPS/OPS/OPS
I flashed firmware from Puerto Rico (thinking it had oneui 2.1 being the latest firmware). It was not. That's on me.
So I flashed back the Australian Optus (OPS) firmware, however, from start up I got Vietnamese writing and it put on Vietnamese apps. I looked at the service provider Sw ver. And it now says XXV/XXV/AST/XSA.
No matter what I do - factory resets, flashing the firmware again not using HOME CSC, it still stays on that service provider Sw ver. Even though my PDA and CSC are correct for the Australian optus firmware.
Everything still works fine except I can't get Samsung Pay as it says it's not compatible.
Any help to change this would be appreciated.

so after flashing wrong firmware you have the default CSC XXV ( Vietnam )
for informations
OPS - Australia (YES OPTUS ) branded
ATS - Australia (Telstra , YES OPTUS , vodafone AU ) unbranded
for A515 i don't know a free solution to come back to OPS CSC
but with credit maybe samkey or Chimera Tool can do the job

You are a LEGEND! I did some research into Samkey. I used it and now my phone is back to OPS/OPS/ATS/XSA.

Question How to flash different variant ROM to bypass carrier compatibility check?

Im trying to flash a different official variant that could possibly help me pass the cri***t (carrier) compatibility check.
On their website they say that A32 5g is one of the compatible phones, but they do not allow the variant im using (a326br) to connect to their network.
I tried to flash the 326U1 XAA variant ROM using Odin. The OEM is unlocked by going to the download mode, but I still fail to flash XAA to it using patched Odin with default options (auto reboot, f. Reset time checked). I tried to flash the original variant and it worked, so not sure where I did wrong.
Do I need to extract the pit file from csc file to do the re-partion?
If not, could someone hint me or link me the instruction to properly flash a different variant to this phone?
Another question, I downloaded this 326U1 xaa because it is an unbrand variant, I assume it could bypass the compatibility issue, but there are some other places suggest me that if I flash the wrong ROM I could get my OEM locked permanently. May I ask what variant would be the best one for me to flash?

1 : if you flash CSC_OYM_A326U1OYM7BVE4_CL23893183_QB52067427_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 and not
HOME_CSC_OYMxxx you don't need to flash pit file
CSC_OYM_A326U1OYM7BVE4 =
HOME_CSC_OYM_A326U1OYM7BVE4 + A32X_USA_OPEN.pit
2: there is only one A326U1OYM firmware and it's a multi CSC firmware

3: you can't downgrade firmware so take care witch version you try to flash

Not sure what I did wrong....
I used the CSC file instead of HOME CSC, but it seems like it is complaining about the partition.
Unchecked "BL" and try to flash again but still getting the same error.
A326U1UEU7BVE4_A326U1OYM7BVE4_USC is version 12, same as my current firmware version.
Phone was in download mode.

Question Resetting Phone back to factory settings

I have rooted the phone with Magic Disk and TWRP with no issues. How to remove all that and put the phone on factory settings completely? I mean remove root, TWRP and lock bootloader?

Flash stock with Odin, lock the bootloader after you boot for the first time and you should be good.

I just need to flash it with stock firmware and it will remove everything?
Should I look for PDA or CSC match for firmware?

PDA can be the same or newer, CSC can be whatever you want.
Flashing stock fw will replace everything yes. Your recovery, system and it will wipe your data completely. Make sure you backup your media

Thanks xD.

Again, you have to flash firmware in DOWNLOAD mode, not recovery.
If you're going to ask for help, follow the instructions you're given.

You are using the firmware for Samsung Galaxy S6. If you write that you have an N770F, then the firmware name must also include N770F.

@hanhniencsc I have moved your posts into a new thread. Please check your PMs.

it's using android 4.4.4
Thats the last Samsung update for this old model .
Flash latest stock rom 4.4.4 via Odin and test wifi .
Then reflash your chosen custom rom .
