Hi All, I've got a Galaxy note Dual sim SM-N930FD
But it currently has a "three" branded firmware on it, I want to flash it with a generic firmware with no carrier branding.
I'm familiar with flashing but have no idea which firmware I need to use for this, I'm in the UK and the handsets CSC is H3G
thanks for any help
You can use the N930F firmware too.

Really??
So I can just flash it with UK XEU firmware for a SM-N930F??
Yes. I originally had the United Arab Emirates firmware and went to BTU, XEU now I'm on DTM. Or if you're more comfortable with this.

That would explain why when I received it, it had H3G on it (UK three firmware)

From my personal experience I've tried various different official stock roms from United Arab Emirates, Germany, UK, Panama, New Zealand, South Africa and Italy. I have not seen any differences in language selection apart from all of them not having English (Canada), and some of them still have the option to charge 80 percent in the second latest update!

I have SM-N930FD UAE version I flashed it with hydra Rom but then went back to stock which is UAE and with 80% battery charging, if firmware got updated recently then you will be restricted to 60% charge only. if you tried other than UAE version please share your experience here.

Hi
Did you find any version which can charge upto 100%? I am using UAE version having 80% charge but recently when it was updated on 1st Nov this option was eliminated. I am looking for downgrade but unable to do that, do you know any solution?

I do but its an August firmware (N930FXXU1BPHA) that we cannot use anymore. I've tried flashing it over any September or later updated roms but always get an error on Odin. It's useless if you're on a September or later rom in other words lol. The only way to get back 100% is flash Hydra.

I am new to all this stuff, I also tried to flash older stock rom but got error message, what I got from this is if you find out the way to install older bootloader on your phone then you can flash older stock rom, so far I m looking for that but could not find any guide on this.

I think your modem software is more important to your local region. I had the original english FD version from Singapore and switched to the local F version where I currently live. And my internet speed just tripled. ?
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers mobile app
I have the latest firmware and only rooted then flashed TedHD's hybrid 5.1 and now have 100% battery. If interested, you can go to his site and download. It made me so happy I quickly sent donation for his work and thank you note.
hi guys, i first installed the russian Nougat update because in germany (DBT) it wasnt out like 2 weeks ago.
So now it's out and i flashed the original german one over it with wiping everything. So far so good. The problem that i have now is that my orginal CSC "DBT" isn't activated.... it automatically installed the "BTU" CSC (UK)
My question now: How can i change back to DBT? I flashed the german CSC again but i doesn't seem to work that way :/ I added some screenshots from Samsung Phone Info App. The Original CSC-Code line is also blank whyever....
thx in advance!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43553707&postcount=14 if it doesn't work i have another method
the same thing with my phone (i have flashed an XEF )
but this csc is not important at all .....
-You have german language
-the playstore have the same apps
- you have the same samsung fonctions apps and parameters .
-the modem have the same European bands
.....
Yeah i flashed the Portuguese rom and somehow got the sloveanian csc. I tried using the method above for changing but it didnt work. It doesnt matter, its the same stuff anyway.
The other method is to flash a single CSC rom and after flash DBT CSC

Sorry for interuption, but i just want to confirm - you had French firmware and then you flashed Russian and then again went back to French and your original csc has changed during this but your warranty isnt void? Thank you very much.

Hi guys and girls of XDA!
I have recently bought a used A5 2017 Dual SIM on eBay and I am in awe with its battery life even after the Oreo upgrade.
However, Samsung does not sell Dual SIM models here in Germany, my model comes from Iran (CSC: THR)
I have read the forum, but I haven't found answers to my questions.
I want to flash a DBT version onto my phone ans I have a couple of questions.
1) I have a DS model which were never available on a German market. Will Dual SIM work after I flash and will I get updates after I flash?
2) The german version of (mono-SIM) firmware, which is available on Sammobile still has A520FXXU7CRH9 baseband. I have already updated to the -I9 one. Does that mean that I cannot revert back o the H9 and will have to wait until german phones get I9?
3) My phone came with a sticker "Middle Eastern and African SIM only". Both slots work with German (and some other) SIMs as of now. Will this setting revert back and it will be locked to those SIMs, if I change CSC?
4) If I will apply the Combination CSC from Sammobile , will I get access to every region-locked option without tripping knox?
Thanks in advance!
Alex.
Anybody here? up!
I don't know the answers to your specific questions - but if the dual sim (Iran) phone you have works with your german sims why are you trying to reflash it?
Is there a problem or something that is not working?
I live in New Zealand and have an imported UAE (United Arab Emirates) 2017 A5 with dual SIM and it works just fine. I havent tried the second sim, but have heard of other people that have and it works as expected. The phone doesnt have any UAE junkware. You are right - the battery life on this phone is great. I did find the always on display uses more battery that I like though. Really wish they had an option that just turned the AOD on when you got a notification (new email/text/missed call etc) but Samsung don't seem to want to provide useful features like this. I came from a galaxy Note 2 and miss that little notification LED
If it helps, I see that the A520F and A520F/DS do not have different firmware - I have searched and there are plenty of posts on this forum where people have flashed Dual SIM hardware with the 'standard' A520F software and report that the dual SIM functionality works fine.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series-2017/help/sm-a520f-to-sm-a520f-ds-t3704566
The DS model was never officially sold in new Zealand (the single SIM model was) but I have received the Oreo update and several security updates for my phone anyway since I bought it.

I get 26-28 hours of norml usage.
However one thing that irritates me is why it loses up to 10% over the night? Everything is closed and AOD is off, too. Other than that I had to uninstall Chrome because it literally ate up trice as much battery as everything else added up, including screen.
Not sure about your overnight power loss - sounds a litle high...
I use my phone very little and usually only charge it every 4 or 5 days.
AOD uses more power than I like (I have seen 1% an hour mentioned and that is probably about right), so I switched that off.
Really annoyed that Samsung havent made an AOD setting that only enables the AOD on when there are notifications (Missed call, new messages). I would really find that useful.
Have searched all over but cant find any apps that will do this.
For those interested, here is what happened.
1) I have a DS model which were never available on a German market. Will Dual SIM work after I flash and will I get updates after I flash?
Basically, it is the same model and the same firmware. The "normal" firmware for a non-Dual-SIM market works perfectly with a DS model and gets updates via OTA.
2) The german version of (mono-SIM) firmware, which is available on Sammobile still has A520FXXU7CRH9 baseband. I have already updated to the -I9 one. Does that mean that I cannot revert back o the H9 and will have to wait until german phones get I9?
The main thing is that ninth digit ("7") because it represents the revision of the firmware. As long as it is the same, you can flash it. If not you will get a brick.
3) My phone came with a sticker "Middle Eastern and African SIM only". Both slots work with German (and some other) SIMs as of now. Will this setting revert back and it will be locked to those SIMs, if I change CSC?
It didn`t happen to me.
4) If I will apply the Combination CSC from Sammobile , will I get access to every region-locked option without tripping knox?
I did as follows.
I flashed the DBT firmware from SamMobile and got myself a british code because it is a standard one in this Multi-CSC.
Knox not tripped. But VoLTE and VoWiFi still not working
Then I found the Combination ROM (FACTORY BINARY) with the same revision as the firmware (See question 2 about the "7").
I flashed it, dialed some USSD code. Then menu appeared from which I could choose the product code.
I chose DBT, wiped the data and cache and voila, I had a DBT phone with working VoLTE and VoWiFi otb.
Knox not tripped 0x0 !

You have to choose the correct ROM first. So if your phone is SM-A505F you need that ROM. Not recommended to use other ROMs like SM-A505 FN, G etc.
Once you have the correct ROM (must be newer than your current) use Odin 3.13 or newer to flash your phone . before flashing do back up and then remove all accounts!!! Then remove your SIM and memocard and do hard reset. Connect to Odin in download mode and flash. Wait till its completely finished and boot up your phone. 1st boot can take up to 10 minutes, once you see the Start screen insert the SIM card from desired region and let the phone restart again.
My phone for some reason picked up CAC product code (Uzbekistan). Flashed latest ROM inserted my Vodafone SIM and after restart my phone was on BTU (UK unbranded).
is flashing different CSC ROM will trip Knox

OK I investigate a bit today
looks like I was able to change CSC from ROM to FTM (Freanch Orange) using brand Orange from Poland (OPV) - all was done with JUN patch the same patch level files
I would like to change from ROM to XEO (Poland unbranded) and for this I did not found any way to work

I think that it's somehow let you change the CSC only one time... I recalling that I was able to do it on my A50 and A70 but only one time...
in my case it is more like I can change to branded CSC like orange or T-Mobile ( did this few time) but it not give me Poland as a country
I cannot change to unbranded CSC like XEO - it always show ROM as active CSC (softwanre CSC it is showing XEO) but for example news I have from Romania

typically it will remain as whatever sim you have in the phone.. there are tricks u can do.. id search some more as theres many csc related threads.. also make sure that csc u want is actually included on the device already since if it doesnt exist then well you cant use it until u get the right csc..

You didn't say what region you want. In my case I was after UK (BTU) or Germany (DBT).
Do hard reset (sim and memory card remove). Turn on phone without sim and wait until it says No sim inserted. Insert the sim from region or country you want to have on your phone.
Make sure you have multi CSC ROM. In my case it was ok. Changed from CAC to BTU.

You need multi CSC ROM. First time boot up without sim and memory card. When boot finished will tell you insert sim. I think Samsung set up phones to allow ONLY one change and only first time...

Is it safe to flash A505F firmware on the A505FN device? As far as I know, the only difference is NFC.
And is it possible to void the warranty by doing this?
I tried Smart Switch a few times, but no updates.

Hi thanks for your reply.
Should I need to remove all accounts, and make a factory reset first?
Smart Switch only will provide you the newest firmware in the same line, not an option to use other different firmware from a different region.
Ever is recommended to do a factory reset/format data before to "switch" to other firmware and make a backup before to restore it in just minutes with SS.
Install Phone Info(Samsung) and there you will find the CSC availables for your device before to change the firmware (most of the international models are multi_CSC compatible), search for the regions and compare them here https://www.****************/2017/0...specific-product-code-csc-and-country-region/ if some of them is convenient for you then you can flash it, check before your bootloader version, I think all are now in v1 but check it before to go further.

Yes, you usually can (I switched a lot of times) but you could find some issues regarding to radio/baseband depending on how different they´re.
Take a backup before using Smart Switch, take note of your actual firmware in a safe place if something goes wrong and don´t forget to enable USB debugging and OEM unlock before to go.

I remember that this was a problem on custom roms for the old A-series since all roms for some reason added INS csc, so a bunch of users in europe got charged extra for messages to india if they didn't remove that from cscfeatures..
Not sure if it still acts the same, but I can confirm that the string is there in INS csc for A50.

Thank you.
There is finally firmware with July patch for FN versions of this device, so probably I'll wait few days, because only 5 countries in Europe got an update to the newest version, skipping June security patch, but I hope we'll have new features in the camera.
