Hi,
first, sorry for my bad english, but I'm from Germany.
I want to update my DBT-Version with the new Vodafone Version for G928F.
Is this possible to flash with Odin without Setting knox to 0x1?
So I can test 6.0.1 until in possible nearly future the new 6.0.1 DBT-Version will be released.
Thanks for your answers.

Hello,
i have tried it earlier today. When odin wants to flash the hidden.img from the VD2-Firmware, odin stops with an failure.
After a recovery with Smart Switch back to DBT, i have tried the LUX-Firmware from Luxemburg and it works perfectly without setting Knox to 0x1
Ari
Thanks.
Then I will try Luxemburg too. Can I restore a backup with smartswitch from 5.1.1 (Apps, Settings, Pictures etc) after upgrading to 6.0.1 Lux? Or will everything be gone?
Can be closed.
DBT came out yesterday.

Hello i bought a couple of day ago a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 from France.
I'm from Greece so i thought it would be good to install the greek firmware...
Now i try to restore to the french firmware but with no luck. Neither Kies nor odin works...
With kies i tried Factory restore and initialiazation but it didn't work.
And odin keeps giving me an "AUTH error".
But everytime odin soft bricks my phone(trying to install the french version), it installs the greek like a charm.
Could anyone please help me?
PS: 1) French firmware (I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_I9505XXUBMGA_HOME.tar)
2) Greek Firmware (I9505XXUDMH6_I9505OXXDMH4_I9505XXUDMH6_HOME.tar)
3) my phone is factory unlocked

The Greek firmware is newer than the french and you cant flash back to older firmware on the S4 only to newer.
Btw why do you want to go back to the french? Im asking because i have the German one and was thinking of flashing the Greek. Is the Greek not working well?
you cannot downgrade as mga firmware is knox free and mh6 firmware contains knox you need to flash a newer french firmware .

So i have to wait until 4.3 to flash to french firmware?
Isn't there any way to downgrade?
i actually read someplace that any firmware starting with mgg or newer could be flashed over a knox firmware . so you could flash a french firmware ending with mgg or mh1 or mh5 . an mh8 will work for sure.

Hi everyone.
I'm now on stock rom of United Kingdom (BTU) android 4.3 with Knox.
I want to move to the stock rom of Netherlands (PHN), also 4.3 with Knox.
The last time I installed German stock rom (DBT) my CSC didn't change to DBT and stayed on BTU and therefore I couldn't get updates via Kies.
I do not want to root my phone or change the CSC in "illegal" ways which will trip the Knox flag and so I won't be able to get updates from Samsung.
The last time I installed this DBT rom I tried already resetting my phone like 3 times and doing wipe data/factory reset twice or so and it didn't help in changing the CSC.
Before I install the PHN rom please provide me with a solution if my CSC will stay on BTU.
Thanks in advance,
Anyone?
Hi,
I have messed up my phone while playing with TowelRoot, so I flashed a new firmware. This is the recommended software for Belgium (I9505XXUGNG8) on SamMobile, this firware was for Luxembourg, and on french forums they said it was this one for Belgium, since belgium does not have a firmware.
So I flashed it via Odin, and then the phone rebooted, however, my CSC is set to ORX (Slovakia) for some reason. This is a Multi-CSC firmware.
So, I wonder what CSC is it for this firmware (Before I flashed the phone, the welcome screen was in english)
And how to get this back so I get 100% stock, by keeping KNOX 0x0.
(I can't root with TowelRoot, because it got patched)
Sorry to do this, but bump.

CSC is required for OTA (automatique mise à jour du firmware), so no need to change it because ORX area is linked to Europ.
You'll get OTA the same time (almost) than France and Lx , no worry.
in case you fear it is always possible to flash the full new Rom with ODIN.
Welcome screen is english and you move it the language you want.
About KNOX 0 if you always flash FW with Odin you'll never have to worry about it.
Clear?
Ok and I can send it back to Samsung ?
(Thanks btw ☺)

I don't say this is a problem, csc has some region related features. IF u really want those features, you can use specific region firmware as u stated about your region but i don't care about csc because it does not create a real problem. Changing CSC is bit confusing so flash complete whatever firmware you want and enjoy, also hit thanks :fingers-crossed:
Hi All,
I recently wanted to move back from using the Polish 5.0 XEO back to the UK 4.4.2 BTU rom. I thought this would be straight forward, just flash the previous ROM and it would be OK. However once I rebooted I found that although I'm back to a 4.4.2 ROM (N9005XXUGNG1_N9005OXAGNJ3_N9005XXUGNG1_HOME) the CSC didn't change from XEO to BTU. I have found that this is because the ROM I have used includes a XEO CSC. Is there a clean BTU ROM without XEO? Is there another way around this issue? If it helps this is a Region Free/Unlocked Note 3 32GB. Knox is 0x0 and I would like to keep it that way and finally the *#272*imeinumber# doesn't display a menu.
Any or all help would be appreciated. I know there have been a few posts similar, but I've not found one that does what I anticipate.
Regards,
SONiKz
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
