Hello guys,
I would like to downgrade my i9505 with a stock ROM of April (preferrably XXUAME2) BUT due to reason we all know, I cannot find where to download it. However, I've managed to get a stock ROM from Brazil (ZTOAMDM) and I'm considering flashing it with this. My question is what is the impact of the different CSC as I live in a different region (EUROPE/GREECE), and if this change will eventually void my warranty.
I started a new thread because I coundn't clarify what's going on with CSC and regions from my previous search.
Thank you all in advance.

Hi The Android Experts,
I'd like to know about flashing using odin 3, can anyone help???
I really interesting in another country firmware, and I found one in thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461580
But one thing I still worry, and I'd like to know,
In this thread there are separated files for PDA, Modem, CSC and Bootloader and I really scare about bootloader said warranty void 1
and I think about just flashing PDA only without CSC and Bootloader. for modem I've flashed XXUCMJ3 and work fine with indonesian CSC and Firmware XXUBMJ1. Now on the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461580 thread there are N900XXUCMJ6_ROOT_ODEX PDA File and I just want to flash that PDA File only, That will be a problem??? or just fine. XXUCMJ6 is for Russia at this time, and is it safe to use with indonesian CSC??? Thanks a lot.
And another question was N900XXUCMJ6_ROOT_ODEX has any changes with kernel?? or still hold the original kernel? and does this Russian XXUCMJ6 Root Odex changed my original indonesian kernel???
Thanks
Hello, I am using SM-N9005 32GB, Black.
First, I am sorry cause my English is not good.
I bought from internet shop this, when I ordered EU region product, but I just received XME(Malay).
I want to flash a ROM DBT(Germany) or other EU countries, but I am afraid to make any problem by flashing another CSC-based ROM. Can it make any problem(KNOX Warranty, Hard-brick or other problems...) by flashing another CSC-based ROM?
If it doesn't make problem, I will flash EU region ROM.
and, any requirements for change another-CSC based ROM(Rooting etc...)?
Please help me.
From what I have read (may not be 100% right!), changing CSC doesn't do anything to your phone eg, Trip KNOX etc, unless you flash a custom ROM, Root etc and does not brick. - As long as you are flashing Official Firmware of course.
You will get updates from a different region though, wait and see if someone more experienced posts just to be sure what I have said is 100% -

Thanks for your answer.
Now I already flashed British Unlocked(BTU) ROM, but I cannot change my CSC code XEM(Malay) to BTU.
I will search articles to change my csc code.
Thank you.
Have a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461929 There is some CSC files there, but make sure you read and I'm sure if they're wrong there will be more recent one's posted further in the thread. Good luck.
I am in Thailand and have NH1 firmware.
Would I get any benefit from flashing a newer firmware?
For example India has NH6 firmware.
Can I flash another country's firmware on my phone?
And, does it give any benefits?
When looking at custom ROMS many of them say they need a certain firmware before being installed.
(though they also are very buggy at the moments so I doubt I want to flash them anyway .. LOL)
Thank You
There are not any major changes in newer versions they fix some bugs thats it however you can't just flash some different countries firmware it may cause bootloop and sometimes even soft bricks ...
Edit :- there are some methods where you can flash them safely for eg changing your CSC however I don't recommend it do it on your own risk ....Here's a link to change csc

Well, I am no expert but I have flashed Indian firmware to my grand 2 whic was actually bought from Saudi Arabia. It still works fine. Similarlly, on my previous phone which I bought from Pakistan, I flashed KSA firmware that worked fine too. So, I guess only options for available languages change and nothing else gets affected adversly. Experts, kindly, express your opinion for further clarification.
Hey all
I am unfortunate to have the UK N910F phone (PDAN910FXXU1ANK6 and CSCN910FH3G1ANK1) as this has not received the lollipop update. I have not rooted the phone and don't really want to root as some apps will not work with root I. E. Banking apps.
My question is there a international Rom that I could flash with Odin as I tried a lollipop rom with the wrong PDA and CSC (PDA N910FXXU1BOC3 CSC N910FVFG1BOC2) and that just bricked the phone, luckily samfirmawre had my original 4.4.4 Rom so my phone is OK
Many Thanks
Alexndr's BOC3 ROM will allow you to keep your current CSC:

Yet another person not to bothered about reading forum rules.
Answering your question. There is German soft for n910f on sammobile. I flashed it via odin and it works just fine.
Be careful
About your question, be careful with that, if you have your phone from a carrier (including if you unlocked it), be careful because, for example, here in Spain if you have your phone with Vodafone and you change the ROM to a non-VF, you may notice that your payment by NFC won't work. BTW I works with some banks in europe and I had no problem with whatever o their apps changing the ROM to a official from another country (nor to a custom rom, but that's your choice), now I have your same model, bought unlocked to samsung with the indian ROM from sammobile
Hey guys, I have a Samsung S8 which I was running LinageOS on but now was to revert back to the stock android ROM.
The issue I have is it appears to be a South Koera (KTC) phone, but it always has this KTMobile crap on it when I flash it. So my question is can I flash another firmware?
I need some help understanding the different components made up in the firmware and what I can and cannot deviate from (to avoid bricking).
AP
CSC
BL
CP
Which of these HAVE to be the same? Im guessing bootloader (BL) must match otherwise I will brick it.
There is also a little confusion over weather it is a SM-G950F or a SM-G950N. I have seen the phone report both.
Is there a way or a firmware I can flash without all the KTMobile crap on it, or could I just flash a New Zealand firmware as I am based in New Zealand.
The firmware I installed currently is G950NKSU5DUA2, but it is buggy and is causing crashes. Can I deviate from this G950NKSU5DUA2 and chose a different firmware?
Thanks in advance.
