[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.

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.

What does "could not locate csc data package?"

I have a Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900), which is absolutely genuine, but purchased from China, so it is therefore “Region Locked”. I have tried to get this ‘unlocked’ by various companies advertising on Ebay etc, but they are unable to do so. I Downloaded the “Region Lock Away” successfully, and then when I press “Region Unlock”, I am given the message: “Could not locate CSC data! You could try flashing a CSC package to correct this”. So my question obviously is, how do I do this, especially as I am somewhat nervous at anything more involved, (i.e. ‘Rooting’ etc). Any and all help will be appreciated.

The CSC package is inside file cache.img from one Rom.
Look the attach img from N900 (files from Rom to flash by Odin), there are two files cache.img + hidden.img.
Making a Mod csc.tar.md5 whit this two files from one Rom having Your CSC, we can flash it by Odin in csc and we have it installed.
This example attached have only the csc SER from Russia.

Thank you Valente for your reply, it is appreciated, but please could I ask how in simple steps I actually do this.......you are dealing with a 66 year old here!!
My kindest regards,
Bernard

Well, in Portugal the N900 is not sale only N9005 then I only give You some idea. But this isn't so simple.
First You must give me what is Your Rom working. On phone keyboard type *#1234# (may be return) and You have the AP, CP and CSC
Send me this. Then what Your CSC and Carrier/Operator to see from what Rom we must extract the cache.img.
Your N900 must have the 4.3 then the Knox also, it's true? If yes it have the Knox botloader and on Odin sometimes isn't possible to flash for example a csc_version OXX or OXA from UK over one for Chine like ZC, Knox bootloader not permit because region not compatible.
Send me that data to see what is possible. Alright?
PS: You have access root already?

Thank you Valente....you are very kind, and I have to say, you English is very good. I will try to answer as best as I can.
The 3 references are:
AP: N9000ZCUBMI5
CP: N9000ZCUBMI3
CSC: N9000CHNBMI5
My SIM is with Orange (United Kingdom).
I am not sure what else you may need, but I have not "Rooted" the phone other than to download the "Region Lock Away" app.
Thank you again,
Bernard

This is not good. Your Model is a SM-N9000 and not a SM-N900. Is a Chinese Model unknown on Sammobile.
See on Settings / General / About Device... You must have Model number SM-N9000. True?
In this case You not have anything on Sammobile to this device.
See here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ write N9000 on white box on top right and You see N9000Q nothing for N9000
Anyway if You write there N900 You see many Rom's for many Countries but not for UK. There aren't UK CSC's for N900.
The Rom is a ZC, You can't flash anything from European XX Rom´s over it. And it have a single csc=CHN not have a Multi CSC (a CSC package). I unknown solve Your problem.
In this case I can't help You, is very difficult. Sorry.

Trouble in CSC change and stock roms

Hello!
I have read many foryms on how to etc etc and my problem is as follows. I bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 from an online store and later it upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2. Appears to be genuine but it is the SM-G900H with the octa-core Exynos. I bought it in Mexico. But the csc is TPA, meaning it is from Panama. I live in the EU so I searched for CSCs for my model in europe and decided to go with Russia's one. Got the .md5 file and started flashing normally with odin3. It always fails at 99% when it tries to flash the hidden.img (unfortunately have not any image atm). So I thought that it has to do with the CSC code. I tried every way possible that were suggested on many forums starting with rooting, but nothing worked for me, not the apps suggested, not secret codes, nothing. Cannot change the csc code from TPA to anything. Although, after I try to fail instal the SER (Russian csc code), I flash CWM recovery and upon connecting to Kies3, it recognizes the version of the PDA correctly, but the csc code is still TPA (Panama). Now I try to flash official samsung ROM again from Kies3 for a fresh start. I would like to know if there is any way of overwritting this CSC. Thank you in advance.

If I understood correctly, you are saying that I should Flash again with TPA (Panama) firmware and then flash again with the SER (Russian) firmware?
I will try that tomorrow and will be back with the results.

So I tried doing that, succesfully reverted to official PTA, but unfortunately with SER it always stucks on hidden.img and fails immediately.

Download the latest firmware for your region
Extract PAK version download with 7-zip and copy the CSC
Flash firmware for your region BL/Ap/CP/CSC_PAK (the one extracted earlier) from PAK firmware
Only add the CSC from PAK firmware
Your device will be wiped.

Yes its simple root your phone with autoroot and install SAMSUNG INFO.APK file and use the CSC CHANGER tool to change the specific CSC and click on the install button and its Done
Note please backup your data before doing that your phone will be reset after doing this

Hi, I had a G928C with the same issue only the difference was I needed to migrate from PAK to XSG. So, what you need to do is, download a PAK firmware from sammobile and a BTU firmware (BTU is for the UK region). Flash BTU first and then right after a factory reset and then flash your PAK firmware, don't forget to do a factory reset otherwise your old csc will remain intact and don't root your phone please. Don't void the warranty.
The problem actually is most of the firmwares out there are MULTI-CSC so, your old CSC always remains intact, BTU on the other hand is a single CSC firmware so, your phone is forced to change it's CSC as there's only one CSC available when you perform the reset. So, when you'll flash the PAK after BTU your CSC will be changed to PAK from BTU.
So, you gotta do this XSG->BTU->PAK
And I repeat, please don't root your phone. There's no joy in that unless you really want to do something that actually requires a rooted phone.
Best of luck
P.S If you are able to get Factory firmware of PAK that would be great. (The one with separate CP,CSC,BL etc files with PIT as well).

yes, but need to back up your data, contacts and pictures. Changing the csc will restore your phone to factory settings.

Whats the complete procedure? I tried with PAK firmware SM-G935FD but it failed. PAK firmware SM-G935F has old may patch thats why cant install this also. Tell me something.

Clarification regarding multi csc

Hello everyone,
I thought of changing my mom's s7 edge region to BTU (currently KSA) as it is very slow in getting OTAs. It only got the December security patch update a week ago or so. As I am not familiar with Samsung phones, I read the forums for every info about CSCs (the CSC and home_CSC were very confusing). I checked the CSC using phone info and it does not have the original CSC, but have a lot of available CSCs and from what I read, I presume the ROM is multi CSC and that it comes with KSA because of the origin country.
But the problem is that I read somewhere that if you flash the firmware of some other region (eg BTU), you cannot go back to KSA, instead it will default to XSG, and also that you need root to select CSC. It also said 'maybe' I would be able to return to the original CSC using smart switch. Can anyone confirm this?
Will it be denied warranty or something when I cannot revert CSC back to KSA before giving it for warranty? (I read that changing region generally does not void warranty, but I think I'm paranoid **thinking of my mom screaming at me**)
Also if I flash the UAE firmware (XSG), will I still retain my own CSC if I do not flash the UAE CSC along with it because XSG is given is my available CSC codes? ( If that is true I should flash BL+AP+CP without CSC or am i wrong?)
Please pardon me if this was asked before but I could not find any information regarding the first and third question
Thank you very much!
