Dear all,
I just noticed that the OTA ICS 4.0.4. for my country is released on Sammobile for my P7510. I downloaded the file, but don't know what to do with it, or how to install it. At this moment I run the XEU release and I am very pleased, but for warranty reasons, one likes to go back to a version of the country where the device is bought.
So my question is what to do with this binary? Hope you guys know. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dead Silence
When you say binary, do you mean the tar.md5 file, if so just flash it via Odin and you'll be running your country's ROM, plus your CSC should return back to what ever it was before you changed it to XEU.
If it doesn't change the CSC, use mobile Odin to flash the cache partition only. That should add the CSC back on to the device but you may still need a CSC changer from the market to actually get it to the original.

Thanks for response. I do not mean the tar.md5 file, that one I can deal with ODIN and stuff. I mean a file with file extension .bin, download via Sammobile in firmware section over there. Direct link: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/171858862/2649dfb/GT-P7510_PHN_249719138.bin.html
Hi all,
As EE have finally launched their WiFi calling now, I want to switch my GT-900F from stock BTU firmware to EE(EVR) carrier firmware.
Is this as simple as flashing with Odin?
I've read elsewhere there could be complications. See below. Is this accurate?
EVR firmware can be downloaded from SamMobile, however if you attempt to flash it using ODIN, you will get an error towards the end as the "hidden.img.ext4" part of the flash is larger than the partition allocated to hold it in the generic firmware. You then have to rescue it using Kies3 or reflash G900FXXU1BOC7 using Odin.
In order to change the partition allocations, you need a "PIT" file which defines the partition tables for the EE variant which includes the larger "Hidden" partition. This is a much more risky procedure and is easily capable of bricking your phone or losing your IMEI so you can't make any more calls at all.

Thank you!
My phone's csc region code is MTZ (Zambia), and I am planning to flash a Mexico unbranded firmware. Is this possible?
I had an S7 edge (tmobile) from the US before, ,and I have never experience call drop before. Ever since I got the international S7 Edge, I got a lot of call drops...is this normal? is the firmware to blame for? if so, should I install a different firmware from other region?
I think you have to flash your csc region code together with your choice unbranded firmware without the csc

If I change my CSC (with root), then I can flash my targeted regional firmware right?

When you extract your firmware you replace the csc with your original one and flash all the files with Odin. Warning your device will be wiped

Sorry, I'm still new to the flashing stuff but the CSC file is the same for all firmware from the same region right?

OK, if you have the original firmware/rom for your device just extract with 7-zip if not download that and also download the newest one and extract that as well. You'll find five files just replace the csc from the original firmware/rom and import all four files into odin except Home_CSC and as I said before this will wipe all your data so backup your important files before flashing.

Thank you so much for your straightforward and clear instructions. I've been looking around the forum and the people's explanation gets too technical for me at some point. Haha
Hi Guys
i have a question i want to flash my galaxy s7 edge with Odin i want to ask that there is some confusion between HOME-CSC and CSC simple
1-Can you please guide me which one i need to select to flash my phone?
2-What is Difference between the HOME-CSC and CSC?
3-What happened with both of them if i will flash with one of them ?
Guys ill wait for your reply ......hope so you will guide me in this matter
let's say you wanna update your phone without wiping the data u have on it. you use the home csc. If u have custom recovery and custom rom and you wanna go back to stock firmware you flash the csc file.

But what's the difference between CSC and HOME_CSC?

Didn't he already answer that question?
Home_CSC: Flash the firmware without wiping the data (if you just want to update the ROM)
CSC: Flash the firmware along with a complete wipe including data (mostly used in cases like bricked phones or Go-Back-To-Stock situations)
I always backup data and do a clean install with CSC ! Its recommended.
When I wanted to swap the firmware from (V) Verizon to (U) Unlocked, I had to use CSC simple, the Home_CSC gave an error. So I assumed the existing data cannot be "saved" when firmware are of different types.
I have asked about this and I wasn't that lucky to get an answer, so I just tried it (trial and error).
However, I think the data wipe is just a side-effect, not the purpose of CSC. Changing the CSC will always wipe data, including any custom software from the previous carrier:
https://productioncommunity.publicm...ung-Phone-Info/m-p/53208/highlight/true#M6228
In my case the original Home_CSC, had only VZW (Verizon) code available. The new unlocked firmware brought in 15 different CSC codes that can be applied when a SIM from one of those providers is introduced in the phone. Phone INFO shows those codes.
@NaJeEb303 He did answer, but he didn't make it clear. Only after knowing the answer I can understand what he meant. So thanks to you for clarifying.

Brother when you are flashing firmware with same csc as your previous firmware then you can use Home_csc and if you are flashing different csc firmware then you have to use file which starts with csc. You will lose data when not using home_csc because it contains different partition information and flashing this will delete you previous partition resulting loss of data but a successful flashing if you are stuck with home_csc. Hope you got your answer.
where do i find the HOME_CSC file?
Hey all,
i just used Odin3-v3.13.1 to upgrade from:
G935FXXU2EREM - GALAXY S7 EDGE SM-G935F DBT GERMANY
to:
G935FXXU2ERG2 - GALAXY S7 EDGE SM-G935F DBT GERMANY
First i selected all AP, BL, CP and HOME_CSC and started flasching. At the very last step (think it was the csc part) it failed.
The Phone said i thould have to use SmartSwitch to get Recovery. So i just opened odin again and just selected AP, BL and CP no csc this time.
That worked. Phone booted, did a bit upgrading and optimizing and now iam on 01.July upgraded. All fine!
But now iam really confused about csc in general.. what is it doing? And is it safe to just leave any csc file empty in odin when doing an upgrade?
No idea? Maybe i should better start a new fred for that
how can i get home_csc for samsung note 3 n900? thanks
How to modify CSC to prevent wipe of my files?
Hello!
How to wipe android OS, but keep my files, like documents, pictures, audio and video in SAMSUNG SM-N9005 memory? 'Android system' package was disabled in 'packagedisabler pro', and now SM-N9005 sticks during booting with animated SAMSUNG logo. Flashing with HOME firmware does not recover because it does not enable 'Android system' package.

I was answered this on Reddit
I started a thread on Reddit about how to get OTA after stock ROM flash, and the guy said that if I used the CSC file in the CSC field in Odin, I should still get OTA, so I guess it just means you would get OTAs on it. I think it depends on other factors such as build number and others too though, so I would research first.

my tab s4 is factory unlocked. I'm currently using a tmobile sim. will flashing either of these remove the unlock? looking to flash android pie
i have done everything as said and my process has fail for s7 galaxy. how do revert back or redo?
OK - I started with a unbranded UK A300FU - CSC code BTU on 5.x
I flashed a (supposedly) UK VOdafone 6.0.1 rom using Odin and the ROM n the AP sjlot
It appears this failed - my Modem wasn't updated an WiFi failed - the advice elsewhere is to go into download from a cold phone.
Also, it would appear the firmware wasn't UK, but some germanic version
I restored from a TWRP backup
My phone details now says the "orginal CSC Code" is VD2
If I want get back to showing Original code as BT should I re-flash in Odin the firmware that matched the twrp backup ? If so , should I stil use the AP slot, or should I use the CSC slot?
Many thanks
Use CSC slot.
Also, the reason why your TWRP backup restoration didn't touch the CSC is that it has it's own partition, which one normally does not backup.
You could flash an entirely unbranded marshmallow rom of your choice, and flash the BTU CSC of lollipop, it should still theoretically work.
