BTU references the CSC code which determines the locale settings of the phone. To change the CSC code or what I refer to as the "regional carrier settings", enter the following code:
*#272* [IMEI #] # (without spaces)
This will bring up your regional carrier settings at which point, you can select the 3 digit code which refers to the country/carrier you wish to use the device on. For a list of carrier codes in alphabetical listing, refer to the following link:

It should work without issue: As an example, press *#06# on your device to obtain your IMEI number which will be 15 digits in length from left to right.
Once obtained, you would enter *#272*(IMEI#)# so as an example: *#272#123456789123456#
This would bring up the regional carrier settings. Hope there was just a typo and this works for you.

There's essentially 3 parts to your Samsung Galaxy Note 3:
PDA, PHONE and CSC. The PDA is the firmware (software) in your device, the phone is the modem (2G/3G/4G/LTE) etc... and the CSC is the Consumer Software Customization.
The PDA is your software the phone is running and your GUI if I can put it that way. The key components of the device are the Phone and CSC. The phone is the modem of the device which communicates with the network for wireless voice and data connectivity. The CSC is the software that configures the communication between your device and carrier specific network when it comes to data speeds and network connectivity.
You should be able to use the method I suggested to change your consumer software customization (CSC). If this does not work, try this:
Boot into TWRP by powering off your device and once off, power on using Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button (all at once). When you see the Galaxy Note 3 logo, let go and it will boot into TWRP. Once in TWRP, press the corresponding buttons to data wipe/factory reset and wipe cache. Once done, press the button to reboot and try the *#272* method. If this does not work, try the following:
This software application will manually force your CSC since you've rooted your device:
Download and install the busy box application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
The above is needed for the CSC Changer App to work
Once installed, download and install CSC Changer App: http://d-h.st/IpA
Open the CSC Changer app and select “Change CSC”
This will take you directly to the available CSC codes list on your device. Please note that you will be able to see many codes only if your device’s firmware has multi-CSC
Select your desired CSC and tap on “Install” option
You device will now reboot and when it wakes up, it’ll have the new CSC
Hope this helps!

Correct! Make sure the BTU ROM is one which supports your model. Once you have made the change, follow my link regarding ROOTING etc... and hopefully you'll have completed everything successfully. If not, report back with your results and I'll try to help where possible.

i have attempted to flash the BTU firmware.. it comes back saying invalid system.img4 file.
Bare in mind my phone is the 16GB model.. do BTU models only come in 32GB? is this the cause of it? Any way around this?

OK, I am new to this as well but a bit confused by your post. BTU just refers to the CSC code of your device which tells it how to implement the CSC (Consumer Software Customization). Since you are unable to load a specific carrier ROM onto your device which will enable the features you want (which are currently crippled), what I suggest is for you to change the CSC code. Once this has been completed, load TWRP and wipe the device completely and also wipe the cache. Once this has been completed, it's recommended you download a ROM which supports your model but enables the crippled features you want to ensure are enabled. Once the ROM has been loaded, use the CSC program if the *#272* method does not work and for the CSC, change it to reflect the 3 digit code for the ROM you just installed. At this point, you should be operational.
Hope this helps!

I'm misunderstanding something here. BTU just refers to the CSC as I understand. To further assist, please go into your Settings | General | About Device and let me know what your Model Number and Baseband version are. At this point, I will further research and hopefully provide enough information to get you up and running.
There should be no reason your phones in an incapacitated state.

Nearly the same problem here! I wanted to change my XEO Firmware to a DBT with Odin, but after few seconds Odin will stop with a fail.

I have successfully flashed my UK BTU to HK TGY
I had the same issue with I trying to flash with odin at the beginning (1 file that included Bootloader, AP, CP,CSC ) then I have done some research at a chinese forum and discover the way around it.
I was given the link for the same TGY firmware but this time is split into 5 files (BL, AP, CP, CSC) instead of 1 whole file. I played with some setting as I still having Big Fail on Odin.
Then I tried to flash just AP,PC,CSC without BL and Viola is work
Now my Note 3 is running TGY firmware
..
i have also TGY note 3, after flashing Omega rom, my firmware became:
AP: N9005XXUBMI7
CP: N9005XXUBMI5
CSC: N9005OXXBMI4
no idea which region the rom is, but it doesn't matter about internal memory sizes (16/32/64)

OXX mean multi.csc from some European Countrys like mine. You can see the CSC working on system/csc/sales_code.dat.
But BTU is included on OXA multi.csc.
Try flash this on recovery and You have BTU by default. (For me work, but flash at Your risk and reponsability).
Link Deleted. Sorry
To validate the new CSC You must reboot by recovery and make full wipe (data + cache + dalvik) and a new configuration.
Before this make a Nandroid Backup and copy Your efs folder to Your extSdCard and to Your PC.
Think... think... better before....

I had my i9505 rooted via cf autoroot and instaled omega rom. After that I have unrooted and instaled stock rom from sammobile,the same one that i had when I bought my phone with the whole procedure - reset counter,changed csc,reset the phone and installed the stock rom (samsung status is official now). Now new ota rom has arrived as for september,I saw it on sammobile but when I check via phone for software update it always says that I have latest updates installed, how is that possible?? It wont let me update the phone to newer rom,why and what should I do? Thanks for help in advance.
Also when I connect my phone to kies on laptop it can recognise the phone for sync but when I want to check for software update it cannot see the software version of the phone??!!

what is your product code (csc)?

do you have latest version of kies?
Csc: I9505OXXBMF3,and I have the newest version of kies
Csc is telekom (TSR)

you can know it when connecting to kies, the last 3 letters XXXXX(???)
EDIT: OK
---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------
does the pda is MF8? and are you sure you are now on TSR
because pda and csc and product code must match
AP and CP last three letters are MF8 and csc is MF3 when I type *#1234#. Also baseband or pda is MF8
I have booted into stock recovery now and somehow it says that csc is set to btu,I dont know how that happend because I am sure that I changed it to tsr. Is it even possible to change csc when I am not rooted??

very good, you have also to verify that you are on TSR product code
if you can not check it with kies try this code *2767*4387264636# if no,
boot into recovery and see it under the command line (in yellow)
EDIT: that is the reason....
no you must be rooted to change product code with app.
and sometimes wiping data and cache after flashing the stock firmware will do the trick
Booted to stock recovery and it says its btu,I dont know how I am 100% sure that I changed it to tsr. Is it possible now to change csc when I am not rooted or...?
There was a code something like #*272#imei or something like that or there is another way because I am not sure tjat from market samsung csc changer will work. Sorry my bad,I should double check the csc...
Ok,thanks for help,will try first to wipe data and cache. Should I wipe dalvik cache also or its not needed to?

Hi, I have SM-910H with ACR CSC. I have tried flashing multiple Stock Roms but CSC does not changes. I have factory reset multiple times. Also I have tried below mentioned method multiple times but no avail. If anyone has been successfully change CSC on 910H without root, kindly help me out.
1. Run and configure Odin. Do NOT check “Re-Partition” and “Auto Reboot” check boxes.
2. Load the stock firmware in the PDA button.
3. Set the phone in download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power button). Then connect the phone in your computer.
4. Hit the “Start” button and then wait.
5. Once the flashing successfully completed. Do NOT let it reboot into the normal mode.
6. Reboot into recovery mode (Volume Up+Home+Power button).
7. See if it’s applying the CSC file then wait until it finishes and reboot.
8. If you do not see the CSC installation, instead choose the “Wipe data/Factory reset”. Then repeat flashing the stock firmware. You may then achieved the CSC code flashing the stock firmware on the second attempt.
10. Confirm the CSC code by using Kies 3 or by downloading Phone INFO ★Samsung★ and see if the CSC code has changed.

Find & flash single country csc instead of multi csc, once it's changed to single country csc, flash again as per your requirements.

I used to flash Singapore rom when I was facing problem like u r facing but i don't know about your model, there was a thread in note 3 forum mentioning this.
Note 3 thread for csc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666907
i don't mean to hijack the thread but i am on the same boat with n910f (not rooted).
I have a warranty appointment (battery drain) and wish to flash back to stock. I purchased my phone sim free from Switzerland and i am in the UK. however i tried lollipop German rom (and sadly did not record my csc, i am a noob) and have now downgraded to UK rom to test battery drain issue for a day or two. I now wish to revert back to stock. my phone id csc related fields are as below.
original csc code: BTU
firmware csc: AUT
active csc code: BTU / AUT
csc country iso: CH
which rom should i flash to and back. Also considering the german lollipop rom data has completely gone from the csc which i flashed to the UK rom afterwards will it be safe to flash to it without auto reboot and then flash back to AUT swiss rom. i'd rather not have to set up my device again . and any comments on Warranty things / recommendations i need to take care of before my appointment
thnx
*********my solution ---------
I reset to factory default , installed lollipop rom, reset to factory default, booted lollipop, reset to factory default again, flashed swiss image , reset to factory default and everything was back to stock
Hi,
I have an S7 edge olympic edition straight from the games in Brasil.
It hasn't received any updates since September whereas ZTO Brasil has released multiple updates since then, as well as my provider (Proximus - Belgium).
The CSC code is G935FYTO1BPIF (notice the Y instead of the standard Z).
I'd like to flash the latest 6.0.1 firmware for Belgium - Proximus, but am afraid to brick my phone.
Can anyone tell me which steps I should follow? I found on this forum for example to not use the repartition option in Odin. But in another tutorial they indicated to activate it. Do I need to change some files or not (CSC_Home),...?
Also the multi csc firmware stuff only adds to my confusion.
Bumping the thread. I'm not flashing anything on my phone until I have a decent answer from you guys

1)You can flash stock firmware for you specific device and country using sammobile.com as a free member registration* Remember to download latest stock firmware for your specific model number and country, you can find your model number printed below on back panel of your phone*
2)Go there in firmware section and enter your device model no and country..( Save it to pc and extract it on your pc in particular firmware folder, you will now find tar.md5 file in that folder)..Now download latest versions of odin and Samsung usb drivers for your device( Extract those files as you did with firmware, install latest usb drivers on pc)
3)From your phone's setting>about device>software info>press build version for 7-8 times continuesly to enable developers option
4)You can find developers option below setting>about device..From developers option select oem unlocking and usb debugging enabled
5)Now connect your phone to pc in download mode( Press volume down+home+power button simultaneously, you are now in download mode..press volume up button to continue)
6) Run odin as device administrator on your pc from odin extracted folder, let pc to install device drivers and your device will be highlighted in odin..
7)Add previously extracted tar.md5 file of stock firmware in AP tab of odin, give it some time to be ready..In odin options let auto reset and reboot options checked..*Dont check repatriation option*
8) Now click start button in odin, flashing process have been started..Sit back and relax untill firmware is being flashed..After that your device will be automatically rebooted and you will have latest stock firmware on your device..
*DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK NOR I NEITHER ANYONE FROM XDA FORUM WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR BRICK OF YOUR DEVICE*
You can use SamFirm for free and high-speed download of Nougat (Model: SM-G935F, Region: PRO). Since you do want to change CSC for best experience in Belgium you can just use the set you downloaded and flash with Odin (a factory reset will be performed, use the standard CSC not the HOME one). There's no need to flash as admin or set OEM unlock. Keep in mind all olympic specific goodies won't be available afterwards anymore.
Just to put things clear: it doesn't matter which firmware I download as long as it's for an SM-G935F with exynos processor.
I do not use CSC_Home but the normal csc file and afterwards I have a standard s7 edge, correct?
And the chances of bricking it are quite low using Samfirm?

Yes, as long as you use a firmware for the Exynos S7 edge and flash it with Odin chances are towards zero to brick something.
The HOME_CSC is only relevant if you flash something with same CSC as already installed as you do not have to perform the mandatory reset then. This is, however, not your case.
Where you get the firmware is up to you, there's fw.updato.com where you can download from Google Drive (you need to use a trick if Google thinks there's too much traffic), there's sammobile.com (fast download costs money) or SamFirm (still works despite being deprecated). However, all three options are basically maintained by the same team.
Thx for the answer.
As samfirm is deprecated and there seems to be a problem with the fw.updato.com I'll go for the sammobile option.
Leaves me with the question: which options to use when flashing via odin?
I suppose droidhacker's guide is the one to follow: In odin options let auto reset and reboot options checked..*Dont check repatriation option* And with repatriation I guess repartition is meant Can you confirm this?
EDIT: if you're saying 'same CSC', that means from the same carrier? Does this mean in theory that I can flash any other Brasil (ZTO) firmware - which would then be a default s7 edge firmware, but without having to reset my phone? The CSC codes that sammobile mentions are each time different per fw version
Code:
Date Country Version PDA CSC
2016-12-29 Brazil 6.0.1 G935FXXU1BPLB G935FXTO1BPK3
2016-12-21 Brazil 6.0.1 G935FXXU1BPLB G935FZTO1BPL4

You click BL, AP, CP and CSC and select the appropriate file (for AP ist may be that it seems Odin hangs but just be patient as this is the biggest file to be read). If device drivers are not installed you need to install them, too. Put the phone in download mode (Switch off, then Vol down+Home+Power together and confirm with Vol-Up). Connect your device and click "Start".
I do not adjust any other settings (Options Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time is ticked by standard, Pit tab is not used). The Re-Partition does not matter in case you plan a reset or need to do so it just should NOT be ticked if you want to keep your settings (along with matching HOME_CSC). This is based on Odin 3.12.5 from odindownloader.com.

If device drivers are not installed you need to install them, too. Put the phone in download mode (Switch off, then Vol down+Home+Power together and confirm with Vol-Up). Connect your device and click "Start".
I do not adjust any other settings (Options Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time is ticked by standard, Pit tab is not used). The Re-Partition does not matter in case you plan a reset or need to do so it just should NOT be ticked if you want to keep your settings (along with matching HOME_CSC). This is based on Odin 3.12.5 from odindownloader.com.

Thank you for the clear answers and the help provided. I'll give it a try tonight.
It's basically fairly easy... if any questions just post here. (-:
I'm on UAE firmware can I flash just another county's CSC? I'm in India. Or do I need to flash the whole firmware? Is there a way to flash CSC without a factory reset?
*have been asking all these for a long time in different threads and not getting a reply please help me out *
Hi,
Tried to flash firmware to get rid of vodafone csc from my new s8 but csc keep staying VOD i want it BTU ideally.
Has anyone tried it yet and done it?
Need some advice
Need to flash then wipe for it to take.
Thanks for advice can you specify do you mean flash and then in recovery wipe cache and wipe data?
Anyone can help please?
Ok what he means is once flashed btu go into recovery not sure what 3 buttons to press but Google it.
Once in there wipe cache and reformat phone once more then it should change VOD to BTU that's what I did when I had my vodafone s7 and changed it to btu
It doesn't work stays VOD no matter what i do
Ok so you flashed BTU what files did you use?

I'm sorry this is for s8 if you goto SamMobile forum post in there greenman may be able to help more but to me sounds like you need to 're flash original firmware.

This shouldn't be a problem so let me help. First some questions...
1. From which carrier/country is your phone?
2. Does it have a network lock?
3. Is it the Model number SM-G950F?
4. Which files did you flash via Odin (please type the actual filenames) and with which settings in Odin?
5. If you go into Settings - About phone - Software information - Service provider software. Please tell me the first and third line there under this point.

Hi,
1. Bought from Vodafone UK
2. Removed lock by code
3 G950F
4 Sorry don't have access to my laptop now but I've
Downloaded latest btu software from sammobile
unpacked it and used as per instructions. Tried using either home_csc or the other one but no luck either
Settings tried just standard and tried pit and reformat didn't work either
5. SAOMC_SM-G950F-OXM_XEU_077
XEU/XEU/VOD
when go into recovery it's still VOD tho
You have done all you could do.
You needed to flash with normal CSC NOT with HOME_CSC to change the CSC.
Your new CSC is XEU!
It still shows XEU/XEU/VOD because VOD is the original CSC of your phone. This is new for the S8 and could not be changed! But normally you will get OTA updates for your new XEU CSC just fine! And any Vodafone-Apps should also be removed.
So everything is like on Samsung devices debranded bevore - beside that the factory CSC is hard branded inside the phone. But thats just optical. Everything else works like it is an XEU CSC.

Are you sure about that? In the past if you didnt change properly the CSC after unbranding your phone you werent getting OTA updates anymore, i've read on SamMobile you gotta use Smart Switch using the serial number of a phone you know has that CSC, but i dont know how to find one, no one answered me on here. I'm thinking of going into a store and look at the exhibition one, but im afraid it's not legal to do that.
been looking for a few days now how to remove the 3(three) banding from my s10+ it just annoys me everytime i see it when it restarts, so far ive flashed a UK BTU from samflash but that didnt do anything other than make some things french, i then reflashed the 3(three) H3G rom and it appeared to work, until i relocked the bootloader. anyone have any idea how to get rid of the three branding? the phones unlocked but i just hate seeing it. preferably id like to not root this phone as i want to keep my banking apps and what not working.

Hi mate
Seems like something was not done properly during flashing , BTU is an unbranded firmware , it should had worked ,by default the CSC is XEF (France) but if you have your (UK) sim in during flashing it should had recognize it.
No need to root , just flash it again , use CSC file not home_csc , it will wipe everything ( back up before doing any thing)

The problem is this multi csc rom , they carry many different ones , if is not defined by the sim there is a default csc that is used (XEF) , you can still change languages and so on but if your UK sim is in is a little easier...
Check the link I gave you there is a lot of useful info there.

just reading throught it, it says that on Q6 i must wipe the phone 1st , then use the home_csc? little confused, so i need to just do a full wipe using csc, then again using home_csc?, maybe thats why it didnt work before? my current FM isnt on the multi OXM so im assuming i need to do a wipe using csc then home_csc...

when i flashed the U1 firmware on my S9, i didnt need to use the CSC, instead i used the FACTORY_CSC since it was the same Android version

Back up (never forget)
Then:
1. Extract (un-rar) the firmware file (i.e. to folder c:\Odin) ***
2. Download Odin v3.14.1
3. Extract Odin ZIP file (i.e. to folder c:\Odin)
4. Open Odin v3.14.1
5. Power OFF your S10+
6. Reboot Phone in Download Mode (1st plug-in USB-cable to your S10+!!!), push Bixby + Volume Down buttons, while pushing them plug-in USB-cable to PC

CSC file will do a full wipe , in your case I would use CSC , no need to wipe before or after

1. Extract (un-rar) the firmware file (i.e. to folder c:\Odin) you can put the files anywhere you like on the computer, doesnt need to be in a root folder
2. Download Odin v3.14.1
3. Extract Odin ZIP file (i.e. to folder c:\Odin)
4. Open Odin v3.14.1
5. Power OFF your S10+
6. Reboot Phone in Download Mode (1st plug-in USB-cable to your S10+!!!), push Bixby + Volume Down buttons, while pushing them plug-in USB-cable to PC dont need to have the cord plugged in, vol -, bixby and power should suffice, just release the power button about a second after you feel it vibrate. Alternatively, you could just adb into it and tell it to reboot using command line in CMD
7. Wait until you get a blue sign in Odin what youre actually waiting for is for a port number to show up in com1
8. Add the firmware files to their designated slots
In Odin
load BL / AP / CP and CSC
9. Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked very important
10. Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes this can take quite a bit longer than a few minutes LoL
