Hello. I want to change my csc to BTU, but is it possible without root?
Thanks
Unfortunately it's not possible without root.
Edit: There might be a solution. I think if you flash a BTU Stock firmware you will get the BTU CSC. But to do this you must have Odin and I don't know if it sets knox to 0x1.
Check Sammobile.com for BTU firmware.

How did you select BTU when you flashed the new firmware? And did it change your Knox to 0x1? (I'm on XME and am considering moving to BTU too.)

Modem: I9505XXUAMDD
CSC: I9505O2UAMD6
PDA: I9505XXUAMDD
Im not 100% sure what the UK Stock is but can anyone guide me please,
You need to download the BTU ROM from http://www.hotfile.com/dl/209462137/82c78b1/I9505XXUAMDM_I9505OXXAMDB_BTU.zip.html
And flash it with Odin

It includes a new CSC so it should change as well. Its the lastest ROM ATM so installing over what you have now should be straightforward. No resets etc required

Do you have the Stock UK Info, like the o2uk info below:

I got mine as an upgrade from O2 and was shocked to discover it came completely un-branded and unlocked. No o2 apps, startup animations, wallpapers or anything to remind of o2.

Mine is now set to btu, I rebooted again after reloading from the factory reset and it changed in recovery. Kies now sees it as an upgradable firmware and im running the latest rom, which feels smoother. No problems so far

So just to confirm
You loaded the firmware via odin
Factory reset
Reboot and your good to go on btu ?
Is that about it ? No rooting etc
Ii want rid of 3 firmware but don't want to void my warranty on case ... I presume if it's official firmware there is no issue

Yes mate. That's all I did. AFAIK it doesn't void your warranty unless you root/use custom rom. I'm not sure if Samsung would even know if it was originally branded.
I'm waiting for chainfire to get back from his hols, once he's got Cf auto root sorted on MDM ROM I'll prob root then.
I only got mine from 3 as they were cheapest for sim free in stock. I refused to pay the 599 Argos and phones 4 u wanted. I had hoped they were still sending unbranded + unlocked but never mind.

Hi guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 LTE, which I suppose is unlocked, as if I enter the service mode,at the network lock it says sha256_enable_flag 0. So, according to kies, I need the TMH based firmware, which is on T-Mobile. But I am on Vodafone, so I would need the VDH or XEH (Hungary). If I flash back the TMH csc based firmware, will I lose my unlock? Or if I flash back the vodafone based, will I still get ota updates?
Thanks for anyone who is willing to help!
Can't be totally sure. But I did re flash a different CSC and my phone got blocked. Had to go back to original CSC

yeah, but you can change to the new csc if you do a factory reset in the recovery. So, according to you, if i flash back the original csc, I will keep my unlock? By the way, it was a hungarian based csc and now i have a german based.

CSC is only for customization. There is no unlock or lock key inside.
thank you!
and what about the new knox feature?
Knox has nothing to do with network lock.
Thanks all!
Hi guys. Currently I am using custom rom based on ne4 Singapore firmware but the csc is btu which is UK version. My issue is that I can't setup the roaming under the more network. My question is, by changing to Asian csc, will I be able to view the roaming setting option? Kindly refer to the attached pic. Thanks if anyone can answer me.

Do we need to do a ODIN flash or anything to get the phone properly up to date?
and is there a definite way to tell which 4.3 firmware to exactly get for your i9505?

if your 9505 is carrier-locked, then you've gotta go with the carrier-specific firmware if not, then make sure it's not carrier-locked
And if not carrier locked can you do dbt to any other csc?

Pretty sure it's just a German CSC code, similar to the UK's BTU CSC code which stands for British Unbranded, therefore DBT will stand for something in German.

Hi everyone,
I have searched through the forum and did not find any way how to change CSC on 4.4.2. I am currently rooted on NA6 firmware and NA2 baseband. My current CSC is XSI (United Arab Emirates)
My unlimate purpose is to change CSC to Poland, unroot and get timely updates.

Tried many times. Nothing happens. CSC Changer from play store doesn't work as well - it just freezes on "change CSC" button.

Many thanks! I have seen this way somewhere in S4 forums, but didn't think it could be used for our Note 3. I will try when I'll be ready for full wipe and post the results here.

So, after flashing stock roms and rooting and I have finally managed to change CSC to BTU using "CSC Select".
But stock NA6 still tells "The latest updates have already been installed". Kies also says that this is the latest firmware.
Any ideas how to officially get update to NB7? According to http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N9005 NB7 is already rolled out for BTU region.
Thanks!
Hello guys i have option to buy Galaxy S8 (Samsung Galaxy S8 G950F ). I was told on chat support on that shop that it has TIM branding when it turns on and off. Other than that would be there any other restrictions? (Device is SIM FREE).
Will i be able to flash global clean rom with OTA updates?
Thank you for quick replay in advance i need it because i need to make my purchase quickly
Cmon guys any help? Any experience with branded S8 ?

Just downloaded the firmware from your link.
This is the first time I am flashing. Do you have to load all 4 files the BL, AP, CP and CSC into Odin then flash?
