Can't revert to original CSC (BTU)

Hi i hope someone can help me ive been searching for a day now and no solution was working. I flashed my s5 with CSC BTU to firmware from Poland XEO. I was trying to flash back firmware for UK as it was original and it did but CSC is still XEO i was trying flashing again using different tutorials and using root and app it reverts back to XEO as soon as i reboot device. Tried restore in KIES too and same story. I get message in Recovery mode like Manual mode apllying multi csc apllied the csc code XEO successfuly applied multi csc. And that happens all the time. Any solutions to that please?

Easy to sort flash the latest BTU then keep wiping cache partition then reset keep doing this until it changes to BTU it may take a few goes before it does change.

Done it like 15 times already and no change? Maybe im doing something wrong? still getting that manual mode setting csc to xeo. why the hell this is happening?!

How did you check for the CSC?
Can you use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app and show all info in the CSC INFO section?
(original CSC, firmware's CSC and active CSC...)

I had this problem too. Heres how i solved it.
Flash the 4.4.2 firmware you are reverting back to and factory reset. Once your phone is set up download and install towelroot supersu and csc changer. Follow the rooting process to root your phone as shown in other guides here. Once rooted use the app to change csc to BTU. your phone will then factory reset. Once booted again flash the firmware again and once again factory reset. You should now have back BTU CSC like i did last night. Hope this helps.

[Q] SM-N910H CSC Change without Root

Hi, I have SM-910H with ACR CSC. I have tried flashing multiple Stock Roms but CSC does not changes. I have factory reset multiple times. Also I have tried below mentioned method multiple times but no avail. If anyone has been successfully change CSC on 910H without root, kindly help me out.
1. Run and configure Odin. Do NOT check “Re-Partition” and “Auto Reboot” check boxes.
2. Load the stock firmware in the PDA button.
3. Set the phone in download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power button). Then connect the phone in your computer.
4. Hit the “Start” button and then wait.
5. Once the flashing successfully completed. Do NOT let it reboot into the normal mode.
6. Reboot into recovery mode (Volume Up+Home+Power button).
7. See if it’s applying the CSC file then wait until it finishes and reboot.
8. If you do not see the CSC installation, instead choose the “Wipe data/Factory reset”. Then repeat flashing the stock firmware. You may then achieved the CSC code flashing the stock firmware on the second attempt.
10. Confirm the CSC code by using Kies 3 or by downloading Phone INFO ★Samsung★ and see if the CSC code has changed.

Is there any developer or Samsung expert, who can highlight what might be the problem here.

Find & flash single country csc instead of multi csc, once it's changed to single country csc, flash again as per your requirements.

Thanks for the advice. I can try that. Can you point out any 910H firmware that is single CSC. Also can you tell how to check from downloaded firmware that it is whether single CSC or multi CSC.

I used to flash Singapore rom when I was facing problem like u r facing but i don't know about your model, there was a thread in note 3 forum mentioning this.

Note 3 thread for csc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666907

i don't mean to hijack the thread but i am on the same boat with n910f (not rooted).
I have a warranty appointment (battery drain) and wish to flash back to stock. I purchased my phone sim free from Switzerland and i am in the UK. however i tried lollipop German rom (and sadly did not record my csc, i am a noob) and have now downgraded to UK rom to test battery drain issue for a day or two. I now wish to revert back to stock. my phone id csc related fields are as below.
original csc code: BTU
firmware csc: AUT
active csc code: BTU / AUT
csc country iso: CH
which rom should i flash to and back. Also considering the german lollipop rom data has completely gone from the csc which i flashed to the UK rom afterwards will it be safe to flash to it without auto reboot and then flash back to AUT swiss rom. i'd rather not have to set up my device again . and any comments on Warranty things / recommendations i need to take care of before my appointment
thnx
*********my solution ---------
I reset to factory default , installed lollipop rom, reset to factory default, booted lollipop, reset to factory default again, flashed swiss image , reset to factory default and everything was back to stock

[Q] I9505XXUHOB8_I9505VFRHOC1_VOD - Wrong CSC selected

Any suggestions as to how to get my UK vodafone contract I9505 back to its correct CSC ??
Back in the mists of time (JB or KK) I flashed a ROM which flipped my CSC from VOD to Switzerland (AUT). Now I've tried applying I9505XXUHOB8_I9505VFRHOC1_VOD.ZIP to get back to Vodafone UK's CSC and the bloody phone thinks it's Spanish (ATL) !!
This is driving me bananas! I've tried reflashing, clearing the cache and doing factory reset before and afterwards, I've tried reflashing it twice with a factory reset from android and that hasn't worked either. There's so much crap out there on what should fix the problem but I can't find anything that actually works.
Phone is currently "offical" status and has knox 0x0 and I'd like to keep it that way, but I really want to get the CSC situation resolved so I can take a stab at getting the vodafone wallet/NFC support working. I need to stay away from rooting it as I use the phone for banking
Please help!

WARNING: The following procedure will result in the S4 being factory reset. Backup all data beforehand.
Dial *#272*IMEI#. A screen will appear with the list of available CSC codes. Select one and reboot. The other option is to use CSC Changer from the Play Store.

*#272 doesn't work any more.
In the end I went down the root/csc change app path.
Downgraded to I9505XXUGNJ5_I9505VFRGNK1_VOD 4.4.2, then used towelroot & Mr Wolf's instructions to get root for NJ5. Now I was able to use (I think) csc selector to flip the CSC over to VOD. Finally I reflashed and factory reset I9505XXUHOB8_I9505VFRHOC1_VOD again and am now on lollipop with the correct CSC
And most surprisingly I'm still knox 0x0 !! It was showing custom status whilst it was rooted, but is now back to official.
Last step was to bung geohot a tenner for writing towelroot and making this possible

This shouldn't be a problem so let me help. First some questions...
1. From which carrier/country is your phone?
2. Does it have a network lock?
3. Is it the Model number SM-G950F?
4. Which files did you flash via Odin (please type the actual filenames) and with which settings in Odin?
5. If you go into Settings - About phone - Software information - Service provider software. Please tell me the first and third line there under this point.

Hi,
1. Bought from Vodafone UK
2. Removed lock by code
3 G950F
4 Sorry don't have access to my laptop now but I've
Downloaded latest btu software from sammobile
unpacked it and used as per instructions. Tried using either home_csc or the other one but no luck either
Settings tried just standard and tried pit and reformat didn't work either
5. SAOMC_SM-G950F-OXM_XEU_077
XEU/XEU/VOD
when go into recovery it's still VOD tho

You have done all you could do.
You needed to flash with normal CSC NOT with HOME_CSC to change the CSC.
Your new CSC is XEU!
It still shows XEU/XEU/VOD because VOD is the original CSC of your phone. This is new for the S8 and could not be changed! But normally you will get OTA updates for your new XEU CSC just fine! And any Vodafone-Apps should also be removed.
So everything is like on Samsung devices debranded bevore - beside that the factory CSC is hard branded inside the phone. But thats just optical. Everything else works like it is an XEU CSC.

Are you sure about that? In the past if you didnt change properly the CSC after unbranding your phone you werent getting OTA updates anymore, i've read on SamMobile you gotta use Smart Switch using the serial number of a phone you know has that CSC, but i dont know how to find one, no one answered me on here. I'm thinking of going into a store and look at the exhibition one, but im afraid it's not legal to do that.

Changing to non-default CSC within MULTI-CSC FIRMWARE

Hi guys,
so I own a non rooted Galaxy S7 edge (exynos) and I am trying to change it's CSC.
Prehistory:
I live in Bulgaria and bought it (back in 2016) from one of the carriers here - Telenor, so naturally it had a Telenor branded firmware (CSC GBL I think). I immediately downloaded the unbranded firmware for Bulgaria (CSC BGL) from Sammobile and flashed it. Phone started in Polish, but didn't have any extra apps or uncotabilities, so I left ti this way.
The problem:
With the new versions of Android the Polish CSC, which the MULTI-CSC for Bulgaria defaults to started having some apps (like samsung pay) that just crash when opened and started having some menus in the settings (like T mobile roaming) which just crash the settings app when clicked. I tried downloading several ROMs (The first Andorid 8.0 and several older Android 7.0) in an attempt to make the phone switch to BGL SCS, but unfortunately whatever I do it just defaults on the Polish one. I tried wiping the cache and factory reset after flash, tried having a Bulgarian SIM card inserted both during flash, cache wipe & reset, and startup, but I cannot change the CSC to BGL.
Notes:
1. Flashing Android 8.0 caused the bootloader to be updated to U2, so I cant flash firmwares with bootloader of U1, unless I flash them without the their bootloader, but this doesn't work everytime (I think)
2. I haven't rooted my phone yet and prefer not to. If I absolutely must I ask for a guide on how to do it without triggering Knox & with option to unroot it after in such a way that it is like it has never been rooted.
3. The Dialer codes for IMEI and CSC change no longer work. I only managed to make the IMEI one ( *#06#) work using a firmware from 07.2017 (flashed without its bootloader), but the one for changing CSC (*#272*<IMEI>#) doesn't work on it.
I'm stuck guys I don't know what else to do. I only want the phone to have a BGL CSC and to receive OTA updates. No root, no nothing.
Thank you for your time.
P.S. I searched the forums all day, but couldn't find a solution

Morning,
I hope you have found a solution to this already. If not.. You need to download a combination file which is the same version as the main firmware you have. eg. XXU2 firmware requires a XXU2 combination file.
Flash the combination file. When the device is rebooted in to factory binary perform a factory reset. now flash the "home csc" file from your main firmware pack. when the handset is powered on again open up the factory imei shortcut/app, this has a keypad type *#243203855# this will bring up the csc codes for your multi-region firmware. select the one you require and the handset will reboot. now just flash your main firmware and it will be the CSC you need.
