Im looking for a bit of guidance here..
Im in UK with a UK Edge+, I decided to Flash Poland 601 over BTU 511, worked great.. No issues. Then I decided to flash the Finland NEE rom.. thinking maybe a better Modem / Phone. After flashing through ODIN.. It failed.. Showing an exclamation mark in a white triangle.. saying.. an error had occurred and Ide need to use smart switch to fix..
Fortunately, I booted back into Download Mode and Re-Flashed Poland rom.. and phone is up and running..
So, why did that happen..
IS the NEE finland rom a different region or does it require a different PIT file..
I just want to know for future reference.. and keen to learn a bit more
Thanks
Hello. I was in a similar situation...I went from SIM(Slovenia Simobil) to XEO(which ultimately showed as TPH) and then wanted to go to SIO(Slovenia Open). Everything was OK, but the CSC stayed TPH. I did a little digging because nothing worked and found somewhere that if I flash 5.1.1 BTU version, that the CSC will change to BTU and I could go to a different CSC from there. It worked, but when I tried to flash SIM(or SIO) over BTU, it always failed at hidden.img. A couple of hours of busted nerves but I found two solutions.
1. Not so good: delete hidden.img from MD5 odin file and flash it later as a separate TAR file. The problem is that the next time you will try to flash something that's not Poland or BTU and some more from that group, you will have the same problem.
2. Recommended: go it this topic and find a PIT file which will repartition your device and then you will be able to flash the ROM for your region(NEE):
forum.xda-developers.com/s6-edge-plus/general/galaxy-edge-plus-g928-pit-file-branded-t3223375
From what I see there are two Polands(XEO). My guess is that you flashed OXX version over your BTU(OXA pit). Now you want to go back to NEE(OXA). My guess is you have to flash OXA pit before you flash NEE ROM again.
Quote from pasted topic:
SM-G928F OXA pit (BTU CPW DBT ITV KOR NEE XEF XEO XEU )
SM-G928F OXX pit
LUX OXX ( BGL CYO ETL MET ORX ROM SEB SEE SIO TPH XEF XEH XEO )
I hope this helps.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for your help friend, and Yep thats exacttly right, I have flashed the OXX version., so when the UK BTU 601 hits, Ill have to flash the XEO pit first, then flash the BTU 601, ?
No problem, glad if I could help .
Yes, flash this -> SM-G928F OXA pit (BTU CPW DBT ITV KOR NEE XEF XEO XEU ). Then you should be able to successfully flash or NEE or BTU version.
What I did, is I flashed PIT(check repartition), let it restart(I think it restarted two times) then went back into download mode when it hung on the "Galaxy Edge Plus" screen and flashed the appropriate ROM for that flashed PIT(in my case SM-G928F VFG pit).
Up and running.. Thanks alot .. It worked for me the other way round.. I had to flash NEE first and got the error message again as I said in my OP, then flashed the zenlte BTU PIT and the phone booted straight away.. How strange. Regardless of what Ive read though, It only worked in ODIN 3.10.6...
Gotta point out though.... I followed what some threads reported.. flashing the PIT only in 10.7, then flash the ROM in 10.6 ... This doesnt work.. I had to use 10.6 to flash both, thats how I ended up flashing the PIT twice.. and after the rom..... Im glad it worked out anyway.. I feared a brick.. but luckily.. Im back on my own EU PIT , so BTU should flash no issues when it hits..
Learned a fair bit from this.. Thanks again
Great, I'm glad you made it.

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

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.
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.
Hey! My issue is to somehow change the CSC without root on my device. I live in Hungary. I bought my phone at carrier (T-Mobile) my original CSC is TMH. When Marshmallow released for Poland i did manage to put it on my device. Now... because XEO is a Multi-rom after a clean install my CSC went to TPH (Portugal) I searched for how to change csc without root (in this case XEO) but im failed to do it.
So guys, is there any option to do it?

it is not similar; we are here talking about the only PIT available for us, OXX, which includes XEO, ROM, SIO etc but default one seems to be TPH, and factory reset brings us always to TPH

I had to flash 5.1.1 BTU to get rid of TPH. From there on, I came back to my original CSC. Therefore, I changed my CSC from TPH to SIM without root.
Edit: if I understand correctly, you can't flash BTU over TPH and then your original over BTU?

1. when flashing 601 XEO I was on 511 BTU, but the CSC it applied was TPH, even after factory reset
2. SIM is in different PIT than XEO so you got lucky....

Yes,but i went from TPH to BTU and then from BTU to SIM. That's why I don't understand why you can't. Flash 5.1.1 from BTU in Odin, do a factory reset after BTU flash and TPH will be gone.
On older Samsung phones there was a code that you dial in the dial pad, which opened a menu so you can chose your CSC, but I don't know if it still works on the newer phones.

Changing CSC XSG to TUR
Hi everyone. i have a big problem. ive got turkey version 935f .last week loaded holland rom on my s7EDGE. now returned my original firmware but my csc shows XSG. İ know tur rom have multi csc .Can i change default csc XSG to TUR editing pit file?
Sorry for my bad english.
PIT FILE ODIN FLASH AFTER TUR CSC WORK ?
MARSMALLOW TURKEY ROM TURKEY PIT FILE ?
help me ?
flash with tr firmware if you're not in tr firmware, root your device , use csc changer and change it to TUR, then reflash the turkish firmware again.(if you don't want your device to be rooted, that is.)
If it doesn't work, you're doing something wrong. be patient about these proccesses till their end.
Official firmware
its better if u download official firmware(TUR version) from sammobile and flash it using odin. That will bring ur mobile to stock firmware with the tur csc.
if u want you can root your mobile later.
I hope this helps u..
Hey guys! So, out of curiosity, I've downloaded and flashed the most recent Oreo from Russia (CSC: SER) thinking that I would like to try out the new Oreo software. After I've tried it, I decided to go back to Nougat by flashing the stock firmware (CSC: XME) I downloaded from sammobile.com. After completing it, someway, somehow, the device is now stuck in the Vietnam CSC (XXV). I've been downloading various of XME firmwares from the past and everytime it finish flashes, it will start up in Vietnamese and I'm stuck again with the Vietnam CSC. Nice that I'm able to get oreo with a Vietnamese CSC, but I don't want to use it because the Samsung Pay works different in Vietnam in comparison to Malaysia. And, I've no idea how flashing a SER and then XME would come out with a XXV CSC is beyond my imagination. Is there anyway for me to return back to my stock CSC without rooting and tripping Knox?
Opening the stock recovery completes the CSC installation, give that a try. It's expected to show "Updating 0-100%".

So, I have done some digging around the internet and found this link from the Sammobile forum. I've tried the methods in that forum, and it works!
If any of you have suffered the same problem as me, you could perform troubleshoot using this method. It seems that firmware for XME is actually multi-CSC and includes other CSC such as Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Myanmar and etc.. The Vietnam CSC is the default CSC.
So, here you go. This is the link: https://www.sammobile.com/forum/threads/39155-How-to-change-CSC-with-a-combination-file
