[Q] How to change CSC code?

Hi guys, I have downloaded a firmware from sammobile.com. But the problem is, my country CSC's code is XME. But the firmware I have downloaded is in XXV code. I have already tried changing from XXV to XME using CSC code changer or Play Store Galaxy S CSC code changer but no luck. Phone already rooted. Any help? (After install and reboot the phone I check again it still shows CSC as XXV)

what problem you are facing with xxv ?

I try many methods but none works with SGGD. My seller ROM is TPH (Portugal) and I want to change in XEO (Poland) and... I was root this phone, new CWM, SuperSU, CSC Change from PG Store and others f.e. CSC-Changer and Stericson.busybox, Triangle Away, XEO ROM flashed, and after restart and wipe - TPH is still on my phone. Now I just have no idea - maybe it isn't feasible?

CSC changer, does not work for me.
Hi, I have found a way to change CSC code already. Just follow my method, because it works on my Galaxy Grand :good:
1. You must check whether if your ROM support your country's CSC. For example, mine is XME.
2. Then make sure you have prepared the Firmware which contains your country's CSC and your phone is rooted with the CSC which is not your country. For example XXV. (You can check with the CSC Changer).
3. Use any File Explorer with Root access (eg: ES File Explorer) browse through /efs/imei/mps_code.dat. Open it using text editor and edit to your country's CSC and save. Again, go to /system/csc/sales_code.dat change it again.
4. Reset the bin counter to 0 using Triangle Away if necessary. (You can also skip it)
5. Reboot your phone into download mode and flash the stock ROM again.
6. After ODIN has done flashing go in to recovery to check whether your have applied your country's CSC. You will see a text like: "Applied Multi-CSC: XME"
Hope that helps.

It worked for me. As with any CSC changer it will reset your phone....

It NOT works in my phone When I try change Again, go to /system/csc/sales_code.dat change it again. phone display info: Error occurred when trying to save the file. It will not be saved.

but when check my CSC by CSC Changer it show me XEO not TPH, because I could change CSC code in /efs/imei/mps_code.dat. Why I can't change TPH to XEO in /system/csc/sales_code.dat? Kies still show TPH.
It looks like this:

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G Debrand?

Hello, I purchased Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G. Everything is ok, no problems etc. But unfortunately it comes with Vodafone apps and widget other bloatware. Is there way to debrand Note 10 Plus 5G? Thanks in advance.

N976B variant? VDF UK?

Yes it is N976B.

Ok. And sim card?

I've the note 10 plus 5G on 3 UK and it's on unbranded BTU.
Are you UK Vodafone?
Came with only Samsung bloat, no 3 apps at all which makes a change for them.
Would flashing the BTU firmware not work?

I'm using EE. I bought from CEX unlocked. But as I wrote come with preinstalled apps. Even after factory reset.
Service provider SW version:
VOD/VOD/VOD

Updating CSC to global (GCF) cleared all carrier bloat for me, BUT IT WILL WIPE YOUR DATA IN THE PROCESS SO BACKUP FIRST.

Can you give BTU OXM firmware link for Note?

Use frija or samfirm :
replace XEU with BTU

then flash with odin AP,BL CP, CSC OMC OXM, not CSC home , sim in. Back up your data first!!!

Ok I flashed firmware BTU but I dunno why it changed to XEF... :/ I have installed now OXM firmware. Vodafone stuff gone.

As you read above, I have same. But anyway better then branded vodafone firmware.
Anyway I think need Samkey tool to change CSC to BTU.

NO! Samkey tool is for unlock the phone. To change CSC you need RealTerm and combination file for your device for access factory binary .
This is how to use RealTerm to change the CSC ...,for note 9 , which i did for note 9.

This Method is not working anymore as from S10 and Note10 Flashing Combination firm is impossible. I managed to change my CSC on my Note 10+ 5G (SM-N976B) using two credits bought from eBay on SamKey.
I had the default OXM XEF France and went to BTU.
Hope this helps

With Samkey I changed to BTU/BTU/VOD. All is good now.

And how much did credit cost to use samkey?

I paid £5.05 for 3 credits.

looks like I have to go down this road, which site did u buy credits from and does 3 credits enough to change csc?

You need only two credits. So 1 credit will left unused. I purchased here:

SM-G986B is Multi CSC device. Since Switzerland and Italy are in the same region both CSC's should be pre-installed on the device.
Try this - Go to "Settings" then "About phone". Write down your IMEI Number. Open dialer and enter *#272*IMEInumber# (In the thread replace IMEInumber with your actual IMEI Number). Press dial, you should see a screen with the list of available CSC codes for your device. Select the CSC that you want and tap the Install option.

My current csc is this:SAOMC_SM-G986B_OXM_SWC_QQ_0025
RFCN30KLS0N
SWC/SWC,SWC/EUY/SWC

The Samkey method would only work if the security patch on your phone hasn't been updated past July 2020. Otherwise you will get an "unsupported BIT" error.

In this case you're stuck (like myself) with whatever csc you currently have unless you root your device. I haven't rooted any of my samsung phones (my primary handsets) since my S3 days as I had no need to. So I'm not familiar with the process for sammy devices.

Samkey must have updated their program recently then. When I tried that 2 weeks ago, it didn't work. Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to change my S20 to BTU.

Ignore this, click OK, then try again, worked for me

Info for CSC code: OSW

My device CSC code is OSW. I can't find what means. I run the dial method to know my phone CSC code. Before was OXM.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Have you asked at Reddit?

That's where I gave my answer.

OSW is a multi CSC, like OXM is.
Based on the sim cards in your phone, on first boot after flash, the appropriate csc is selected.
Based on the information provided by OP on Reddit (CSC settings in phone info: NEE/NEE, DBT/XAA), it looks like he has both a Nordic sim and a German sim in the phone. Probably as AUT is not in OSW, DBT is selected.
Strange to me is listing of XAA (=United States) as last CSC. That last CSC would indicate country code of the country the phone was manufactured for by Samsung... but Samsung does not manufacture N975F for USA... Looks like phone was seriously messed with.

So, it was OXM before? " If the CSC of your Samsung device is OXM it means it has Multi-CSC firmware installed on it. OXM is a group of CSCs that contains multiple sub-CSCs inside it. It means that you can easily change the CSC of your Galaxy phone or Galaxy Tab. "

yes, I try to install another version with *#272*IMEI number# bud this code was not working for my phone.
Anyway, I had managed to flash another updated version (UI2.5 and security 12.2020) also OXM.
With this last firmware if I use *#272*IMEI number# still I don't get any multy-csc.
It is possible to change the IMEI of a phone?

I also found it strange that it was XAA it has an Exynos chip. Now it is NEE/NEE, NEE/XAA.
Can you change the IMEI?

No. Moreover, as tampering with IMEIs is illegal, it will not be discussed on this forum.

Forgive me, I was not aware.

Question Indian firmware with European Z FOLD 4 (SM-F936B)

I just saw online that India Market got the new update (F936BXXU1AVIH) with September security patch.
So my question is, as i have an european model with the same model number (F936B), what is the risk if i flash this firmware ? As i know that it's not gonna change my 4G/5G bands anyway, so i'm guessing maybe an OTA issue after flashing this firmware (like not receiving them as i don't live in India).
Sorry if it's a stupid question :-/

No risk, CSC HOME and all good. I do it.

Ok, thanks for your reply
And what about future OTA updates ? Will it still be working ?

Yes.

Yesterday I installed the Indian version on my European version Fold 4, there is no problem except that it does not pass the Safetypass and I cannot make contactless payments.
No Root, no OEM unloock, just ODIN upgrade (firm from Sammobile).

I confirm that i can no longer make contactless payments as well, but i never used it anyway so not a big deal for me... i hope that there will be no others bad compatibilities like this one.
Will update on a newer European firmware later or just flash the AVIH European firmware when it'll be released

It's very strange that the India version does not pass Safetynet's CTS checks. I also used the Home_CSC, I had never had a similar problem. I will wait to try with another region when it comes out.

Same here....Some week ago I bought a Z Fold 4 with EUX CSC and immediately changed CSC to INS using SamFW ver 2.1, Wallet worked like a charm until latest security update installed some days ago...Now, reverting CSC to EUX, does not solve the problem...

So you're saying that you reverted back to the last Eurpoean Firmware and that you can't still use GPay ? Or you just tried to changed the CSC without flashing European firmware ?
