yes, you can change it to rogers or unbranded but some features like finger prints may not work properly with an unbranded firmware.
All the csc are under one file so do a factory reset and pop in the rogers card it should switch automatically
What do you mean Unbranded ? And how

Suppose in the case I bricked my phone and I don't know the baseband version of it. Now what is the option to recover? Flash stock firmware via Odin but don't know the baseband??? What will happens if I flash another country stock firmware?? Will the phone hard brick?? Or it will work fine?? Thank you
The worst case is that your sim card will not work with that software. This is only if your phone is carrier locked.
If it is unlocked, or neverlocked as others put it, then you can flash any firmware you like, as long as it is for your respective phone model.

Make sure that this phone isn't locked to O2 or any UK carrier.

You should flash Nepal firmware then. It would give you better (more match) CSC code. The CSC (Consumer Software Customization) code contains the info about software packages specific to a particular region, carrier branding and also APN (Access Point Name) settings for data connection.
In my case, my S4 i9500 was made in Vietnam and when I received it, it had a Thailand firmware on it. It is a network unlocked phone. I live in USA. The first lollipop firmware came out was for Russia. So I flahsed the Russian firmware. My CSC showed that it is a russian phone. I used that phone on AT&T network that available in USA, China and Korea, and I had no problem.
Nothing will happen.
@sway8966
Are you really to suggest him to flash Nepali firmware on UK phone? I'll unlock it (the carrier-lock) first and then flash other countries' firmware if need.

Sorry to bump this up but im having problems with my s6 edge (Maybe because of this).
I recently acquired a phone from a relative from UK. The OS is android 7.0 and the carrier is three.co.uk (H3G), we have reset the phone to its factory settings and accidentally didnt noticed that it do auto update on the OS, then this bootloops starts to occur.
The phone isnt network-locked because the phone can receive signals, messages and phone calls on local sim.
Now upon browsing around SamMobile, There is an available Firmware for this mobile and even the firmware which is available to Philippines but only ver. 6.0.1
Is this possible to use the PH one or still i go to UK(h3g)?
help please
once i take the firmware from other countries and then i install to my phone,
does my phone will going to operate that firmware even if it come from another country
because i tried to find firmware according to my respective country unfortunately i missed it.
so please i need your assistance ..please
Hi,
I bought an Rogers S7 Edge, but for work reason, I need to flash an Bell firmware in it. I am not root and won't root it.
This will trip the Knox. So I'm okay with it.
Would it work to flash another carrier firmware to my Rogers phone?
Thanks!
Do I also need to put all the file? Like BL, CSC, etc.
I know AS of course.
Thanks!

Yes it works and you won't trip Knox. Use Odin and the rogers official firmware. But why would you switch anyways they're identical. No?
Does the secure PIN need to be ON also ?
Some how to have it on.
Thanks

They are identical software, literally. It's multiCSC. All Canadian carriers get identical software, it just reads the CSC off the SIM card you have installed and adds the appropriate bloatware/features/APN for your carrier on boot (after flashing).
There is literally NO difference between the Rogers/Bell/Telus/Videotron/etc software.

Because my friend who have an stock Bell device, he can see in about register for voLTE, mine doesn't say it. That why I want to flash to Bell firmware.
Hi,
So my phone I bought was an Rogers Phone.
I download at Sam mobile the Bell firmware for 935w8 BMC the name but when I finish flash, I still see Roger's app like MY Roger's or shomi but not Bell app.
Why that?
I put the app, black, csc, etc all in Odin.
Should I also use the Home CSC ?
Thanks
Based on what SIM card you put in. That's why people told you it's exact same firmware.
I put an Bell Sim in it and I don't see Bell stock app.
Thank.
I found it. it's
*#272*imei# then selec BMC
I've looked all over the forums and all the threads on carrier switching refer to switching US S8 variants to US carriers.
Can someone please explain or point me to a thread that explains how to carrier switch Canadian providers that would be fantastic. In particular I want to go from Rogers to Freedom Mobile (aka wind mobile) . My phone has been factory unlocked.

I can tell you from experience that freedom does not have any carrier specific features, so doing a firmware switch wont benefit you in any way I dont think.
You can however go onto sammobile and download the firmware for freedom and flash it using Odin. Again probably no real benefits. You would benefit if you were going the other way tho, as Rogers, Bell and Telus have carrier specific settings in their firmwares.
But since you are carrier unlocked, you could try a factory reset then put your freedom sim in it and boot up. It might install the freedom files. My S7 worked this way when i went from a Bell locked phone to a Koodo sim...
Edit: That link has an unlocked canadian firmware as well, you could use that firmware too.
Open the dialer and type *#243203855# then select GLW, this will change your csc to wind mobile/freedom, it'll wipe your phone..

Hi Peachpuff. I have an unlocked S8 phone from a Bestbuy canada marketplace seller. I tried using your code to change to the Telus CSC so I can get VOLTE but got the invalid MMI code error message. The about phone says its an SM-G950FD, and the only code the phone appears to accept is the one displaying the EMEI.
Hope you have some guidance on that ?
Thanks

That's not a canadian s8, its an international one, so that code won't work and i doubt you'll get volte working at all.
Just enjoy your root friendly multi sim phone.
So it's basically the title. I bought a Rogers(RWC) model of Galaxy S8 G950W and I wanna re-flash the firmware to an unbranded one like the XAC one. The thing is I saw that the Rogers baseband is not unlocked and the XAC is an unlocked one. Can I flash the unlocked firmware on a unlocked one? RWC to XAC
Cheers!
Yes you can, but don't assume that you will unlock your phone after you flash that firmware. If you want to unlock your phone, contact other site that will offer for factory unlocking on that phone or use any gadgets tool that support on that phone.
Note: becareful of modifying the baseband of your phone mostly to those enable bootloader and Knox, cause you may brick your phone or unknown baseband.

The only reason I want XAC is because it's unbranded and without bloatware apps. I think my phone is already carrier unlocked because when I bought it I specified that I will use it in another country. I've been using it with no issues in Romania for half a year now. What do you mean with baseband modifying? I will just flash the exact same firmware as the one I have now but from XAC not RWC. It's my first time doing this. I've did a lot of research but I'm still a bit worried about doing it.
No need to flash anything you can simply change the csc to xac and it'll wipe the phone.
so was their any problem?
i see both rogers and xac on sammobile
which is better?
