You can use this app to change your CSC. However, two things.
A. You need to be rooted beyond XXELLA
B. Your selected rom needs to support multi csc

( tried that before but doesn't work as its unrooted and on stock software

It should work, but you need to root if you're on XXELLA or above

Sorry not that much of a techie :silly: what is XXELLA? So it doesn't need to be rooted? Because when i press change CSC it comes up with com.android.preconfig not found on your device and takes me to the dialer with *#272*1759# already punched in?? After ringing that I get Connection problem or invalid MMI code.

Xxella would be a 4.1.2 firmware.
It would look like your stock setup doesn't have a multi CSC setup so I'm not sure if you're able to change to BTU

if I am not wrong you need:
(1) be rooted to change the CSC
(2) after that you can use the tool mentioned before and/or flash a BTU rom
or maybe easier:
just flash the newest 4.3 rom version (you can do this without root as well I think)

Flash the latest 4.3 rom for the UK, using odin and following the guide in sticky thread.
Factory reset from recovery, reboot and csc should match the firmware.

Download the latest 4.3 for UK - which would be - I9300XXUGMK6. Then follow instructions in the first post

I'm pretty sure this method will default the CSC to "KOR"
You want to flash the ELL4 U.K. firmware from the stock firmware thread. Download the S2/S3 CSC changer app from the play store and set the CSC to BTU.
This will factory reset the device, so make sure you have your important files backed up.
Then proceed to flash MK6 4.3. Now everything will match.

If you flash a untouched 4.3 rom thru odin it does not void the warranty. It will read official in Odin. At least on my phone it did. Like they said earlier they should have a uk version floating around somewhere. Otherwise just leave it alone and wait for the update. I hope that helps

Impossible to get out of BOOTLOOP: soft-bricked

Hi community!
First time posting.
So, my SM-G900I (shipped from Taiwan to Aus) recently started bootlooping so i decided to reflash a stock rom. I initially flashed an XSU version of the G900I stock and then a BRI version of stock. This didnt remove the bootloop. I then installed TWRP and cleared all the necessary caches, formatted data and everything else. still in bootloop.
I installed CM13 in TWRP install menu and it still didnt boot. I've also tried pulling the battery for extended periods of time. I dabbled in terminal commands but it was all a bit above me!
is there anything else i can do or is the phone dead? it can still enter download mode and TWRP. is this a battery problem? in TWRP the battery says it's 80% charged so it seems to hold charge.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers.

Did you try flashing the stock rom and PIT file with ODIN?

I did. 16GB G900I pit file was flashed alongside BL, AP, CP, and CSC files (got directly from Kies).
I am able to install a custom recovery and access those menus but i can't get in to the stock recovery menu.

You need a repair firmware find here http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...ader-csc-pit-files&catid=55:samsung&Itemid=82 flashed whole firmware bootloder pda modem csc press thanks if i helped

Hi!
Thanks for the quick response but there are none there for G900I models. Just a question, how do these differ from manually putting in pit, AP, BL, CP and CSC seperately?

AP = Android Platform
BL = Bootloader
CP = Modem (radio)
CSC = Region & Network operator
PIT = Partition table
Lunch Odin tick ap and select pda' ap' code acoding your downloaded firmware tick BL select bootloder
Tick cp and select modem
Tick csc select csc
Tick pit and select pit
Start
A bad pit can bricked your phone and bootloops

Download update to samfirmwar it is 1 package file home tar md5 put on PDA and flash make sure download correct firmware of your country region

best way : download samsung kies, go to download mode on your phone, connect it to pc, open samsung kies, go to tools->firmware update settings, this will update your phone to latest firmware fixing any software related problem. after that you can root and flash any custom rom.

S7 edge update to 7.0 on UK networks

I've got my phone thru EE and checked for update to 7.0 but nothing as of yet.
Has anyone in the UK received update to 7.0 and which network?
I'm thinking updating via Odin but I've read some people knox tripped using odin which is very unusal. Anyone else had the same issue?
Thanks
update
I've updated my to nougat via odin and no know tripped. Void counter remains 0.

Hi,
I'm also in the U.K using an Un-Branded Sim Free s7 edge.
I use many of the Uk Payg Networks.
You would need to wait until Samsung have sent the Firmware to EE for them to test and send back with any requested refinements and then would be pushed out to your phone. This can delay things a bit.
The Firmware should be pushed out to me directly from Samsung. (Still waiting)
Samsung U.K advised me its being sent out in waves.

Have you received update?
How are you finding it?
Thanks

ODIN doesn't trip Knox. Where did you read this exactly?
No networks have released network firmware. The only UK users to get Nougat officially are those with handsets that use stock UK BTU firmware.
If you only want Wi-Fi calling then flashing Nougat through ODIN is fine.
If you want VoLTE as well, then you need to flash the Nougat BETA 1 CSC in ODIN as well

Thanks very useful info. So I flash the other files from final release and select csc from beta 1 or flash csc separately?

I had XEO csc, flashed nougat btu, downgraded back to 6.0.1 and csc changed to XEU, flashed back to 7.0 btu and knox remained 0X0

Always flash together. All files from main release, but Nougat BETA 1 CSC. This of course will wipe your phone. Do a smart switch or Samsung cloud back up. It won't save app data, but it'll save all your .apk files, messages etc

Did you have wifi calling and volte before? can't see why a full flash wouldn't work since it has worked for everyone else that tried

Hasn't worked for everyone else. I lost WiFi calling when I went from EVR to BTU. I used Odin and flashed all files except HOME_CSC.

I'm not sure if this will help but I had similar problem with WiFi calling not working on Vodafone after flashing BTU when it used to work with BTU MM. Someone suggested to disable WiFi calling through the Vodafone app and enable it again, this fixed the issue. Do EE have a similar app or process you can try?

So you're on Germany Firmware (DBT). The firmware version you are in is the latest available.
You can keep checking using the link below...

I was looking on sammobile but when u compare at the dbt Section the newest firmware with Mine installed the pda number is the same but the csc do not Match? I am confused:/

I'm on an unbranded S7 Edge in the UK and i'm still waiting on the OTA
Edit: Looking at that sammobile page, looks like there isn't a firmware for the UK "XEU" CSC (only the UK BTU version is there)

Odin Flashing?

I was able to get my hands on the U.S. non carrier firmware for the G950U. The question is, without OEM unlock option, will it successfully flashed via Odin? Has anyone already tried? If so, what was the result?

can you share this firmware ?

Yes. I have the same version. Not having the oem is like having it ticked on. So you are good to go. Would love to get my hands on that firmware so I can start testing. I also need G955U. Any chance of a link or mention of where you got it?

I can upload and post link, which may take awhile, or you can use SamFirm ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647 ), which is the same program I used to download the odin firmware. I cheated by using SamMobile to confirm CSC code to input into SamFirm and the program will download the odin file and decrypt it to allow for extraction.
For instance, I downloaded SM-G950U/TMK Firmware, which is the USA variant, but, in theory, lacks the TMB system bloatware.
But to get an update to my attempt to Odin De-bloat my S8, I have a suspicion that USERDATA no longer lives within AP, instead it has its own Partition within the Full Odin Firmware, thus, meaning that simply flashing AP, BL, and CP from a Non-US Carrier firmware will NOT remove the carrier system bloatware. Until there is a Odin build released that allows for flashing the USERDATA.tar.md5, the TMB bloat remains after flashing the Generic Odin firmware. But you guys are more than willing to try a find a way to flash the firmware to change the CSC code from TMB to TMK, USC, or whomever does not load carrier bloat into their build.
