I have a G950FD from Singapore, which came with a multi CSC Firmware on it (it showed as SIN/SIN/XSP). I used *#272*IMEI# to change the CSC to XEI, which worked fine, and then wanted to flash the FW to BTU as WiFi Calling was not showing as an option in Phone (it IS enabled on my account as I checked with Vodafone). I had issues with the flashing, as per my other post, but eventually got the phone back. However it still shows as XEU/XEU/XSF. And, *#272*IMEI# is no longer recognized, as the phone now seems to have a single CSC firmware on it.
I flashed the FW using Smart Switch, which downloaded and flash the FW as per the model and serial, and after flashing, it booted, showed 'Installing System Update', got to about 32% and then screen changed and it showed Erasing... After about 5 seconds the phone rebooted and booted as if I had just done a factory reset. Firmware still showed as XEU/XEU/XSF version AQF7 (in theory after Smart Switch flash, it should show as SIN/SIN/XSF, I would assume). After 3 minutes OTA upgraded the phone to AQG5
I then tried to flash with the phone with the AQF7 version of BTU again (using ODIN) and ODIN flashed it as normal, and after flashing, it booted, showed 'Installing System Update', got to about 32% and then screen changed and it showed Erasing... After about 5 seconds the phone rebooted and booted as if I had just done a factory reset. Firmware still showed as XEU/XEU/XSF version AQF7
Please can someone tell me how I can flash a Multi CSC FW on this phone, and which Multi CSS FW to use that includes BTU ?
Alternatively, if someone can tell me how to flash the BTU FW and make it actually stick, so that the CSC changes to BTU, then that would help too.

SO i debranded my N3, it was UKcarrier branded and flashed BTU rom no issues. Knox stayed at 0x0
Only thing ive noticed so far is when i plug into KIES it says "Your devise's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via KIES.
I assume this is because even tho i flashed the BTU rom, my CSC stays as VOD untill i change it?
Example, when i boot to recovery it still shows the message about applying VOD CSC.
I guess OTA will be no issue still, but KIES doesnt like the different CSC mismatch.
I'm gona assume the only way to truely debrand/change csc is gonna be with root once it is eventually able?
I remember on my s3 i did it by dialing *#272*IMEINUMBERHER# or somethign along those lines but as far as i know that stopped working on newer phones/FW's?
Hi there
Did you just flash a btu rom over existing Vodafone branded rom to debrand it.
John
Also interested - did you just flash the stock rom from sammobile?
Did you do a factory reset? It generally resets the CSC.
I have a Note 3 SM-N9005. There was a polish release of 4.4.2 firmware, which I'm fairly certain was this, which I installed in January using this guide on XDA.
Today I discovered that my carrier (Telstra, Australia) had released an official 4.4.2 firmware N9005XXUENE3, and thought I would flash it. The flash failed and I got the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" in recovery. In a panic, I tried to return to the polish firmware. Having lost what I'd originally flashed, I tried N9005XXUENA6 from sammobile first. This got me to the setup screen, but the phone would crash on the first or second page of setup with "Unfortunately Samsung Setup Wizard has stopped". I then downloaded the N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_N9005XXUENA2_OXX from the first link. This has the same result.
After each flash I did a factory reset and wiped the cache (not dalvik, because I'm not rooted). The stock firmware comes just in the form of a .tar.md5 as did the N9005XXUENA6 from sammobile, but the final polish firmware and the original I had installed had separate parts for bl, ap, cp, csc.
Is this what it means to be soft-bricked?
What was the mistake that I made to result in a soft brick?
What can I do to have a functional phone again, either with stock firmware or anything at all?
Given that my knox is still 0x0, is it likely my warranty is void anyway, and can I repair this somehow?
Go to SAMMOBILE and download the latest Polish or Slovakian rom using the europpean pit. My N9005 is polish too, and yesterday I had the same problem, thinking that since I am bulgarian , the bulgarian rom should work.
So install the Polish or Slovakian (see down) and it should work...

My note 3 is not actually polish. I used the polish firmware because it was the first to offer 4.4.2. Does this suggestion still apply?

I'm not sure... do you know your original configuration, before this 4 file polish rom?
Still you need to try and flash, one thing is sure, you can't flash an older one. So if your phone is not locked to any operator than any latest stock rom from your region should work. If you're not sure which region is your phone originally from, then there's a problem....
So go to sammobile, type n9005 in the firmware tab, and try the ones at top,October...November, from your region. And use the pit file too.
The latest for my region and carrier is N9005XXUENE3, which is what got me into trouble in the first place in my OP. What should I try next?
Update: Got past setup and into homescreen. Usually crashes after about 10 minutes, but sometimes I can get up to a few hours. Doesn't detect the SIM card, and camera doesn't work. Any clue what might be going on?

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.

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
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.
When searching for a firmware for the phone I just bought on ebay none of the sites i have checked, including sammobile and updato.com, have the baseband version I have which is G975FXXAU1ASE5. I specifically bought this phone so that i could root it and when I checked all the bands that it has there are all except 1 for the tmobile network and I read that it should still work. I currently use metropcs so my question is which firmware can i use that is going to work with tmobile or metropcs and if i use one with a different baseband or csc will it affect if my phone works or not on the tmobile network. I am also in California in the US and all the firmwares are international so what should I use? My CSC is G975FOXM1ASE5 and I haven't seen any with the same CSC either

You will be able to use on Tmobile. All of the carrier features are available excepted RCS messaging. You will also be missing some of the LTE bands, like 71. You can flash any of the 975F firmwares. OXM denotes multi csc firmware regions. Use Frida download tool instead of Sammobile or updato. It much faster - 4/5 minutes vs hours with those websites. AUT gets updates first, but you can choose the same one that is currently on your phone.

I have Frija already and tried it last night with the auto setting and it didn't let me put OXM for a CSC. I tried to run it with MODEL- SM-975F and for the CSC I chose AUT with auto selected and it gives me an error that it cannot find a firmware. I read a comment from somebody with the same phone as I have on yt and somebody replied with a firmware from Nepal and it said OXM in the CSC would that have been compatible too?

Your bootloader is still locked. Reflash entire stock firmware [BL, AP, CP, CSC (not home_csc). It's much easier to follow the videos showing the process instead of following written posts if you're having issues.

My bootloader was unlocked fine already. I followed both of these videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3a8YnWT3yk&t=179s / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2Xp-lQg1xs&t=612s
Both are pretty much the exact same all the way through. I flashed the patched tar from Magisk restarted the phone and held the vol up bixby power combo when it went black and then I went to wipe data factory reset then rebooted. After it booted i set up the phone the same and checked if magisk was there and it was not so i turned off the phone and when booting i did the vol up bixby and power and the screen stayed on the boot logo saying the this phone is not running samsung's official software and on the top a red line that said i can flash any official software and it stayed like that and after trying to just boot it with the power it gave the exact same message. Only difference from the video and what I did was the firmware I got was from frija while they got theirs from different methods like sammobile and samfirm
EDIT- I flashed the ap cp and csc not the bl file from the firmware i got off of frija and the phone booted up now. The phones bootloader is still unlocked and it boots up but there is no root.

If you flashed those files you should be back to stock. Start the process again. Try this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn4dTjxY89I
Also make sure your patched magisk file is not corrupted when transferred back to your PC.
If not, I'm out of suggestions...sorry.
