[Q] Flashing to XEO (Poland) firmvare + changing CSC with Odin?

Hi, I want to flash my galaxy as fedup with waiting for updates.
I got BTU, UK unbranded, unlocked S4
I am polish, so thinking flash it to polish firmware as they get it fast.
GT-I9505 XEO I9505XXUBMEA thats the one I want go for
Can someone tell what is it ? is it network firmware or unbranded?
I would go for it only if I can change CSC code to XEO, so I can get OTA updates.
If not I will keep waiting for BTU
And Dont really want XEO polish carier firmware, as I can flash to Three UK BTU network, would be the same and dont have to change CSC.
So, main questions are
What it is XEO ? what network ?
Can I flash it + change code to CSC all safe?
and how to do it ? Odin
Thank You.

as far as i tried you cant change csc with flashing . unless you flash single csc not multi.
only way is to root with auto root than change csc wit csc changer and then flash desired firmware with odin.
xeo looks like it is simfree so its just general for poland

i didnt find any searching on net so i guess no. they usualy pack 20+- csc together
there was some talk of chcnging csc with flashing twice with odin without auto reboot. but that didnt work for me.

try it. remember if you want to change csc with single flash(wich i dont think so ,that worked on s2) after first boot reboot to recovery and wipe data/chache. in recovery you will see wich csc applied.

Can someone help me out as I am new to all of this...
I am using a Samsung galaxy tab 7.0 (p2610), and I flashed a jelly bean update successfully using odin. I am not rooted.
I have a system update in the notifications window that is stuck there, that is not working (process fails), this is due to the csc code being in great britain.
I am in Canada, I have Odin ready to go, can someone please show me how to change the CSC of my device to Canada?
Where do I go to download the appropriate file? After I assume I load it up in Odin with device in recovery mode, and flash using the "CSC" option in Odin correct?
Any help would be great.

To flash cross regional fimrware you need to change you CSC code.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491877
Also if you flash MJ3 build then your bootloader will be upgraded and you have to stay will MJ3 firmware, you cant then downgrade back to MJ1 firmware

BUMP
any luck anyone? still getin ext4 error

I want to know this as well. I have Malaysian fw on my phone but I want to switch to BTU. According to what I have read this should work because my current region is XX, however I have seen way too many people getting this ext4 error for me to try it.
Can someone give a definitive answer? I am on MJ3 with a region of XX. Thanks!

How did you flash it to void warranty?

sorry to hijack
but what does BTU stand for?
and what's the two letters before MJ7?
like UBMJ7, what's UB?

CSC code for UK (no carrier) = BTU.
Revision of Android - MJ7, latest version released as of yet...
Not sure about the rest but it appears regional...
Flashed it after running through RDLV but had issues with WIFI and sd card... Flashed extracted modem from MJ6 rom, this sent me into a bootloop. Flashed stock MJ6 rom onto phone and fixed the bootloop but put new bootloaders on. At this point warranty void was 0x0. Tried Kingoapp to root hoping it wouldn't trip counter, it did...
New bootloaders are a mongrel....

Stay away from Kingo/vroot, xda has removed all links and closed the thread. It's full of malware / spyware and will send all personal details to a Chinese Web server.

just changed my firmware from xme to btu
just follow these from the s4 forum by kaushalls but use odin 3.04 and be patient it may fail for two time but will eventually will do it and run odin in normal mode not administrator mode
Make sure you take a backup via Kies if you need personal files
Download the respective stock ROMS from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com or see thread on Stock Roms on XDA
Extract zip to get tar.md5
Put device into download mode (Vol down+ Home + Power) and Flash using Odin (PDA option)
Wait till device reboots back into Android after completing the flash and recovery
Once device reboots, do a Factory Reset via back up and reset option
Once device reboots after Factory Reset/recovery, enter the google account info and restore settings and then turn off the device
and restart (go into recovery and see the csc btu being applied if yes then stop here,do factory reset and restart)
after this the next steps are optional
Boot device back into download mode (Vol down+ Home + Power)
Re-flash the same downloaded firmware for a second time via Odin
Once the device reboots after the 2nd flash, your CSC should have changed to the CSC of the ROM you downloaded, and Kies also should show that CSC has changed and it should allow future updates via Kies or OTA
check csc by going to stock recoverry it will show manual mode at the bottom and then show btu csc applied

to change CSC:
1. using keystring method such like *#272#XXXXXX
2. Using UART- to USB converter to send signal into the phone. (AT+PRODCODE)

How to set a specific CSC from a MultiCSC firmware.

I have a S7 Edge from UAE that I have flashed with UK Vodafone firmware. Now since all Vodafone firmware is MultiCSC this has set the CSC as VD2 (Which is German Vodafone) when I want VOD (UK Vodafone). I have searched all over the internet for info into how to set a specifc CSC in MultiCSC firmware but cannot seem to find the answer. I have already tried the following suggestions:
1) Go to recovery immediately after flashing from ODIN
2) Use recovery to clear cache
3) Hard Reset in Recovery
4) Hard Reset from Settings menu
5) the *#272*IMEI# trick (this does not work on the S7)
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I want to have the correct CSC to use Wifi Calling and VoLTE. Thanks.

Using *#272*IMEI# worked for me on my Canadian S7 edge. It might be that after flashing this feature doesn't work anymore - it happened on my Note 5, worked initially, but after tripping Knox it wouldn't work (even on stock).

The thing is that flashing the firmware using ODIN shouldn't and hasn't tripped KNOX its still 0x0
There must be some way of setting the CSC from a multiCSC firmware, how else do the operators set theirs.

There are two versions of S7 edge: Snapdragon powered and Exynos powered. On Exynos powered S7 edge, the code is not working.

Multicsc does not mean dual sim

someone post this instruction from the csc changer utility thread, I followed it and manage to change THL(Thailand multi csc fw) to XCT (unbranded Philippines fw) but I think it's just feels "artificial" to me even though I've got my country specific changes and when using Phone Info app it says XCT but when I try to use Smart Switch on PC it says my CSC is still PHN which I downloaded from the official firmware thread. :/

Flashing Official Oreo 8.0 U.K. Firmware on non-UK phones

As you know, Oreo is out in U.K.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935F/BTU/download/G935FXXU2ERD5/217550/
I have G-935F and it is from Vietnam. Is it possible to flash the official U.K. release and use it without any problems?

yes you can , i have been flashing firmware of different country to my s7 edge duos .
you just need to be sure chipset and model number are same.
Between you can flash s7 edge single sim firmware to dual sim.
P.S. can you upload the btu oreo firmware to google drive and share. Sammobile server is slow here.
Thanks

Since it is from Sammobile.com, I don't think it is right to upload it to other site because it's their files. You can get Premium Service for faster downlad tho.

Maybe it will get ota from multi csc too as OXA or maybe it will fixed ota from current ITV. We will find out if theres an ota update to any of those country listed in OXA csc which are france uk germany italy poland

it´s because of Mulit-CSC.. when you don´t wipe and factory reset, you stay on your CSC.. so ITV.. when you want BTU ota´s, you need to wipe your S7 complete including factory reset

Since BTU and ITV are in same OXA CSC file you must first flash a non OXA firmware like NEE , EUR, DBT and then reflash the BTU firmware.
OXA is multi csc file. ALL in same group wont change from ITV.

Good afternoon, someone can help me, try to flash the rom btu and the odin tells me pass but when restarting there is no change of android. Now I have android 7 region DBT and probe flashing with home_csc and csc and with the same thing happens, no change. Greetings and thanks

Use Odin 3.13 and uncheck F. Reset Time.
I had XEO csc. I've used HOME_CSC_OXA.
Installation was a success. It didn't erase my data. 0x0
Will see how it goes
