hi I have a sm-n900 and I bought it from DUBAI and in stay in INDIA. after some custom flashings I have lost my IMEI and baseband. but fortunately a Samsung service statition has put my KNOX back .so I have KNOX 0x0. but my CSC in recovery is showing csc:KSA. where as my Firmware is XSG. I am planning to send it to Dubai for claiming warranty. Will CSC make any difference or it's fine as it is.

CSC does not matter, what matters is Knox 0x0. But as you said, you have lost Imei, i am not sure how the service center in Dubai see that as, you can probably say when i was updating my software using kies it rebooted and this happened,
Dubai will not fix your problem under warranty if your csc is ksa, flashing stock xsg will not trip knox.

What will happen if i flash a device which has Russia's(or Other Countries) 4.3 ROM , with India's 4.3 ROM? Will it set the KNOX warranty Bit flag.
I bought my phone in India. After i started using Omega ROM which has MG9 modem, i was never able to switch back to Indian Stock 4.2.2 which had MG5 modem, as in MG5 modem i was getting a generic IMEI and the network was not working. So i settled for using the KSA 4.2.2 ROM which has MG9 modem, hoping someday India ROM will get MG9 or higher. My device still shows the Official Status in the Download Mode.
My big problem now i how do i get back to Indian Firmware without voiding the Know warranty. Can i wait for 4.3 to release in KSA and then flash back India's 4.3 so that i dont face the IMEI problem with the ROM's? If i do this will it void the Knox warranty?
Or flash the MG5 ROM of India and get the official 4.3 India update? will this solve my IMEI issue?
I also heard that there is a binary counter for the number of times a Custom ROM is flashed. If we upgrade to 4.3 with non-zero binary counter will the KNOX warranty void flag?

Incase u hvnt installed 4.3 yet -
Oky, heres what u do: revert back to stock 4.2.2 android, then go to software update, (it will b good if u use triange away and remove the no.) and u shud receive update for indian firmware, since bootloader is installed later u wont loose ur warranty(when u will install it for first time the warranty bit says 0 ..)
I installed 4.3 russian fw by mistake and since my warranty bit was 0 samsung installed indian firmware on my phone(had to fight a lil tho ..)
Dnt do anything after flashing 4.3 for first time, since whatever u do will trip a flag, thus voiding the warranty ... i had isssues getting my phone fixed even at warranty bit 0 ..
Hope that helped ...
First reverted back to India MG5 4.2.2 ROM and then did 4.3 update through kies and everything went fine.
Now my fake imei problem is gone and I am back under warranty

Hi,
You said that you used OMEGA rom. It means you rooted your phone and installed CWM recovery. Now you installed I9500XWUBMG5 4.2.2 stock rom and updated to stock 4.3 via KIES or OTA. My question is now your KNOX warranty is 0x0 or 0x1.
Could you please confirm I want root my phone.
Thanks.
What will happen if i install russian 5.1.1 to my indian galaxy note 3 neo
hello guys any one here i had flash indian firmware were few days ago bt now i want to back to nepal firmware ...my device is j7 2016 model plz help me to go back to nepal firmware again
@rohit gurung: The forums for your device are here. To install the Nepal firmware you need to download it from a site like Sammobile and flash it to the device just like you flashed the Indian firmware.
Hi all I have a sm-n900 I want to give it for warranty since I have lost my IMEI and baseband. I managed to repair my KNOX. I currently have Knox 0x0. But the problem is I have a phone bought from Dubai and I live in INDIA. I don't remember my CSC as I had flashed custom rom from the first day. Now my phone is showing CSC KSA which stands for Saudi Arabia which might be correct. but just to make sure they process my warranty I flashed XSG STOCK from ODIN but still It stays KSA. IS IT THAT THE ROM HAS CSC as KSA or ITS NOT GETTING CHANGED. could some one help.
secondly if someone knew will Dubai service entertain KSA CSC. I will have to ship my handset to DUBAI. Hence please help

Try to dial *#272*<Your IMEI>#
Need some one to verify that the CSC of a sm-n900 baought in Dubai is XSG. I live in india and had bought in Dubai. but due to some other region firmware flash it has become KSA.
during the flash I have BASEBAND Unknown and IMEI Unknown. So need to sent it to warranty. I HAVE KNOX Warranty bit 0.
just wanted to make sure of the csc before sending it in. Don't want to leave any chances for Samsung to deny warranty.
Hello!
I have a big trouble in Samsung Galaxy A5 (SM-A500FU). I refreshed the original stock firmware (which had VDH csc), and after when the odin finished, my csc go to CYV and i cannot change nomore.. If i rooot my device, this method trip my knox warranty, and i dont want it. So, how can i change the region code? All of firmware which i downloaded it have multiple CSC-s and the default customer.xml is Cyprus. What can i do? May the vodafone cannot send single csc roms? I show CF-autoroot and i know it, but this method trip knox and the counter is go to 0x1 from 0x0. Please help me I cant sleep 5 days.
kingsroot doesn't trip knox....
I don't get what the problem is? It's still covered by the warranty.
Hi guys im thinking to get a S7 Edge in the UK and its on EE network but sim-unlocked.
If i flash the BTU UK firmware on it, will it trip the Knox counter? And affect my samsung warranty?
Im thinking to flash BTU as it has less bloatware and making it carrier free would mean i receive updates sooner also. Please let me know. Thanks

I flashed BTU on my EVR S7 and knox is still 0x0, however the EE firmware doesn't come with much bloatware, just the myEE app and Lookout.
You're right though, updates do come through a lot quicker on BTU then EVR

I also have an EVR SGS7 Edge and would like to debrand with BTU. Is this easy to do?
I bought a rooted S7 edge from eBay that was originally purchased from Samsung... When I first tried to return it to stock via odin and stock BTU the flash failed..... I think I got confused with csc and csc home (which I still don't understand as all my previous sammobile downloads never had csc home file )... So I eventually got it to flash but ended up somehow on VIR which I think is virgin.... Which has the slowest updates known to mankind.
I'd love a stock BTU phone but don't want to lose my existing setup or semi brick it again. It's the csc and csc home thing I don't get.

You should be able to flash BTU without issue. It also has WiFi calling built in now so you don't have to have EE firmware for it.
Won't trip knox so long as you are flashing stock firmware in Odin.
I believe csc wipes data whereas csc_home doesn't.
