Hello,
I'm from Egypt I bought a note 3 n9005 european sim model
-from settings my phone reads different IMEI than the one written on the phone under the battery.
-The network goes down to emergency call only but never asked me for unlock PIN
-someone installed for me android 4.4.2 that deleted all options like air gestures and all other Samsung stuffs
- In settings menu the phone model n9000 ( -_- )
- I wanted to return the phone to stock settings, firmware and unlock it.
- I think knox already tripped ( how to check it ? )
- I downloaded a file with extensionBTU- N9005XXUDMJ7 (mar.tdr5) 1.36GB + Odin 3.07 + usb driver.
Do I need anything else because it's my first time flash an android phone.
Thanks in advance
Switch on the phone by pressing power+home+volume down. This will take you to download mode. Knox status will be displayed there.
If you are on 4.4.2, you can't downgrade to MJ7.
I have no idea how you managed to get a new with a new ROM.
But you can always try flashing the ROM you downloaded. You don't need anything else. Just read a couple of guides on Odin flashing.

Just don't post your IMEI number here
If your model is showing N9000 it's from a CM build being installed, especially if you lost Samsung features.. as for the IMEI issue we'll investigate that soon as we know what we are actually dealing with :good:

Yup just as I suspected... OK
Follow this
Open ODIN, put your phone into download mode connect your phone, load the .md5 file into the PDA option on ODIN and press start. It will reflash your stock Samsung back to normal.

_these command leads to an error ( sometimes it works and the imei is also different than under the battrey )

Once you flash back to normal Stock Samsung it'll be better to grasp the IMEI errors, when dialling *#06# into the keypad it adds an extra number with a / mine is /01 iirc. for now, how about we get you back to Stock then sort the rest as we are unsure what is what. :good:

SM-N9005ZKEXSI is your product code. It signifies that your phone is from the gulf.
Just flash the firmware as directed by radicalisto. You'll be fine.

To my knowledge once the region lock is activated that's it, you can't undo it. < Ignore that, take a look at this
The region lock isn't to one country though, it's to continents. There may be some ways around it if you are rooted (which you are) but I'm not the best person to speak to regarding that. Odin being tripped means nothing apart from if your phone stops working tomorrow, Samsung won't be interested.
In terms of the Samsung Stock Software that you are installing, it doesn't really matter what software you install providing it isn't the Exynos version. Because you have the 4.4 boot loader though you MUST flash the leaked polish build. If you install the version that was mentioned above by one of the other posters, later on we can focus on getting you the correct software for your device region if we need to.
I can't tell you much about region lock. Mine came without it.
n9005xxudmj7 is a ROM version. Not a product number.
Since your knox is already tripped, you can easily root your device using Chainfire's autoroot and install the regionlock-away.
But before we get there, we need to get you up and running on atleast some version of TouchWiz.
Did you try flashing that file yet?
Hey peopele finally back to original Firmware thnx all

-Same problem here.....any suggestions ??
Hello All,
I have S7 edge bought from Singapore. I have downloaded Phone Info app and following are the details :
Product Code : SM-G935FZSUXME
CSC Code : XME
Available CSC Codes : CAM, GLB, MM1, MYM, SIN, SMA, STH, THL, XME, XSP, XTC, XTE, XXV
CSC Country : Malyasia
I have got Reliance JIO card and trying to activate it. Unfortunately I cannot do it since current version of firmware does not support VoLTE. I need to move it to some firmware which supports VoLTE.
Let me know if you need any other information in order to give me suggestion on how can I activate my Reliance Jio card, without rooting the phone. In case rooting the phone is the only option, I would like to know if I would continue to get the updates given by Samsung in future ?
Thank you in advance.
Yes it is possible to do it without rooting you just need to install the CSC Firmware of the country you want to change it to, using ODIN i have mentioned the steps in a previous post its not a big problem and very easy to do.
PS- the India Firmware supports VolTE but you must ask if you can install it over even if the phone doesnt support that version, i think you can but i am not sure

Hi Utkarsh,
Thank you for your response.
Whom should I ask ?
See the thing is i have a solution, and i know the Indian firmware version supports VOLTE, It is about finding the firmware version of the CSC that the phone supports.. What i am not sure is if you can install a CSC fimrware that is not supported in your phone, for that send a PM to mods or people who know. I will list the steps that i did
- You dont need to flash your ROM, you can change your firmware to INS CSC and it works.
1) i used the Phone Info App (Download from the Google Play Store) and saw what CSC Codes were available for me to change to.
2) I downloaded a new firmware from Sam Mobile - You can google for them entering your model no - G-935fD, i am not sure if they are available here in XDA as well
3) My phone supported India CSC (You can see supported CSC's using the Phone Info App so i downloaded the India one it could be different for others.
4) I then downloaded ODIN and used the tuorial in this forum to flash my phone and change the CSC code.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SK3IMprKVQ this is the link with a step to step guide.
5) After that i factory reset my phone and downloaded the July Update Patch.
My phone after that has been able to make calls and i can see the VOLTE symbol, depending on the firmware it should either automatically come or you might have to manually enable it.
Hope this helps everyone else also. Factory reset usually helps and downloading the latest update too..

Hello,
I did see this post over here in XDA, but my issue is that my phone does not support India CSC. As mentioned in the original post in Phone Info shows me the following available CSC codes (Missing India ) :
Available CSC Codes : CAM, GLB, MM1, MYM, SIN, SMA, STH, THL, XME, XSP, XTC, XTE, XXV
Hence I am not sure if installing Indian firmware through ODIN will help or not. Do you know if that will work ?
I can confirm that is possible to change via Odin without root the CSC even to one which isn't currently available. Yesterday I've changed my CSC from ROM to ORO in order to have access to VoLTE and VoWiFi. I'm not rooted and OTA update it's working. One thing to cosider is that the phone will reset to factory settings.

Ok perfect. I am downloading the Indian version of the firmware. Will keep you updated. Just hope that my VoLTE get's activated !! Keeping my finger's crossed !!
Also, thanks for the quick response.
Depending on network, sometimes it's necessary to send a SMS or call a special number in order to activate VoLTE.

Hey I was successfully able to reset my CSC to INS (India). So thank you very much for that. But I am still not able to see the VoLTE option in my Dialer -> More -> Settings, which most of the people have confirmed that they see it.
I am on Reliance Jio and Idea in Gujarat, India Are you aware what should I dial to enable VoLTE ?
My phone is getting an update, just hope that it helps to get me to see the VoLTE option !!
It should be in Settings/Mobile Networks
If you phone is not rooted you needed Volte option in your device than yeah you needed INS CSC to get option in Indian Carrier.
So simple and best way is to Download your Samsung S7 edge INS firmware from sammobile.com and enjoy.
or you can try custom Rom so try exyfire Rom for S7 edge and than flash INS CSC whose Zip is available to download.
Just download the following zip file and flash it using TWRP. In the Aroma Installer choose Indian CSC option and you are ready to cruise on the Jio craze. No need to flash any FW

Dont worry just back up your phone, download the latest OTA updates and factory reset your phone , it should work seamlessly the Indian CSC does not have any setting to turn it on/off , let us know how it went

I am facing the same issue. I am still not getting VoLTE option. I flashed phone with latest Aug 2016 INS firmware from Sammobile which has July 2016 security patch. Once flash without factory reset, second time flash followed by Factory Reset. Still no luck.
Later check with Samsung and Jio Helplines and they say S7 Edge will not have VoLTE option under setting, it is active by default, but none has an answer as to why VoLTE logo doesn't show up? If i have to make calls, the same gets routed through Jio Join App and if i uninstall the App the calls doesn't go through at all.
Some Expert please help!
I have the Samsung S7 Edge SM-G935FD bought from UAE, (Made in Vietnam) and it has multiple CSC but not for India (INS not present in CSC list).
I was getting 4g but no Volte, so no calls/sms.
I read this entire thread last night. Got the latest India firmware.
Flashed as per post #42 of this thread. Wiped cache,
After rebooting, I got the LTE sign, but still no Volte, checked for latest updates, I was all up-to-date.
Put phone on flight mode and back on.
And voila, Volte!!
Thanks to @utkarsh_86 and @gandhipurav for this amazing thread.

Guys I got my Galaxy S8 3 days back, imported from Dubai. In India no volte is showing up, I guess the firmware needs to be changed to Indian firmware. As the firmware shows Algeria.
Anyone changed the firmware then please help me out.

I'm in a similar situation, importing from dubai due to the recent price drop. Will be getting my hands on the device in 1 or 2 days.
I read in one of the posts in xda that you will have to just factory reset phone and insert indian sim and configure the phone for getting volte and spay. XDA link. Sounds too simplistic to me.
Can you please kindly mention what steps you took to make S8 work with Jio Volte and Samsung Pay. I'm familiar with rooting phones and flashing custom ROMs.
Thanks!
Hey! even I'm in the same situation. S8 from dubai no volte in India. And I'm unable to download the firmware from sammobile.
I had read this on a forum... can anyone confirm if this works??
"This is what I did and it worked for me .. Please note , all of your data will be erased (I.e. factory reset) so take back.up if you want.
1. Power off and remove the sim tray.. Please ensure you have a Indian sim in the tray.. I used Airtel
2. Goto recovery , HOLD bixby button and Volume up together and power up
3. In recovery , chose factory reset .. This will give a warning and then reset everything
4. Chose power off in the recovery and insert sim tray with Indian sim .. you should do this before booting up as your CSC will be configured when you will start
5. Power on the phone , it may goto recovery again.. Chose to restart to system now
Everything will be configured to INS CSC now .. Samsung Pay works now ..

Yup, it works. I just inserted my Airtel 4g sim before even the first boot and the phone configured for Indian carriers. Later, I wasn't getting ota updates so flashed AQF7 update through Odin using home CSC which didn't factory reset the phone. I even got AQG5 ota update after this. Volte & Spay work fine.

Exynos variant is only available. I got mine hand carried by a visitor to Dubai, so no duty.
So if i travel to India for a short Period, do i have to factory reset, just because i changed the sim?
didn't work for me
this doesnt work for me
I have galaxy s8 imported from UK. I live in india and its unlocked. Soo volte doesn't work in my s8. I tried to flash indian firmware but did something wrong and lost imei and baseband info. But managed to undo that mistake. I think i forgot to turn on USB Debugging. That was my mistake i think.

Changing the region firmware should be easy.
- Make sure ur phone is unlocked.
- Download the respective country ROM from sammobile for ur phone (SM-950F single sim / SM-950FD dual sim).
- follow the steps in this post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3598172). (Note: If unlike in the steps, u have a single tar file after extraction of the downloaded file, add it under AP).
- Make sure u have inserted Indian SIM when u start the phone. This is important (it might choose a different country or else based on ur sim - my s7 edge was Italian, not sure how :silly
These steps should not brick ur phone if u do it right. Also Knox wont be tripped. However, i am not responsible if u follow the steps wrong. Tried this method since my S2... Never failed me. Make sure u got pre-requisites right and all should be smooth.
Cheers n good luck.
I did what you suggested. But no luck.

In settings its still shows service provider OXM BTU.
successfully installed the indian firmware. No luck
My question is, the Indian variant of Samsung S10e has an Exynos 9 octa 9820 processor and the us variant of it has snapdragon 855. So is there will be a problem in flashing rom...?
So i am trying to change the CSC of my Galaxy note 20 ultra from DTM to DBT or VD2 ... all of them are a part of OXM multi CSC firmware.
Flashed via ODIN using the right CSC file, and the flash was successful however the CSC did not change ... Tried multiple times and ended up with the same outcome.
Samkey still does not support N20 ultra !!! Any tips on how this can be done?
I am running the latest firmware with August patches.
Security Patch Level 2020-08-01
Product code DTM - SM-N986B
PDA N986BXXU1ATH3
CSC N986BOXM1ATH3
Help will be highly appreciated.
my Exynos 20 Ultra is on the way, CSC change would be nice due to call recording. SIM card CSC change is not working anymore ?
SIM card CSC change is no longer working

I tried and SIM card CSC change is no longer working, i have an INDIAN SIM and once inserted in note 20 ultra, it detects the sim but no longer pushes for a mandatory restart.
Something has changed somewhere, and i have a feeling its got to do something with One UI 2.5 update

Since the release of the S20 series this method no longer works. That's why everyone had to use samkey.org or the free apk by the mysterious Dev but since the August security patch both no longer works.

However, I am able to change the CSC on my N986B/DS Philippine version.

How you were able bro, (Even following the youtube link) I follow all the steps carefully (No go at all). Personally i try to change my Rooted Note20ultra CSC no way, it remain the same.
By the way I try mysterious Dev APK Not working anymore.
I have root on N968B , if anybody has an idea of what will work, I am willing to be guinea pig

I just did the *#272... method. Still working on my N986B/DS even after the Aug security update . I even reverted it back to the original CSC code before I sold it yesterday. Sold it and I have now the N9860 512Gb Hongkong variant. Tested the *#272... code but it's not working on this unit.

Since you're rooted, Just edit the cscfeature.xml file with <CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording> and reboot. Voila!
2 things that made the *#272*IMEI# work on my N20U5G Exynos (Aside from having an OXM fw, see attached files)
1. I copy-pasted the IMEI. If I just type in my IMEI, it will not work.
2. I used Samsung's stock Phone app. Having been using an Android One device, I am used to using Android's Phone app. Since it's my go-to phone app in my N20U5G, the code will not work on it.
From my understanding, this code only works on Exynos variants of N20U/5G. Since the DATA feature for my SIM2 was disabled on its original f/w, I changed my CSC code to XTC. Now I can set DATA on both SIM slots.
CONFIRMED CSC CARRIER CHANGED Follow the link Below :

Well, Just Follow OP Instructions.
My Phone Rooted, I Follow Dr.Ketan Instructions how to root in Exynos section.
Am on latest Stock Rom, All Bloatware Remove with Adb Shell command.
1. I do Not install TWRP.
I extract Patched AP (magisk) and copy Boot.img, then convert Boot to Patched Kernel.tar
And Follow OP Instructions for CSC
"You will also need to edit mps_code.dat inside /efs/imei to reflect the carrier you desire. This needs to be done from a rooted system or from TWRP. After doing this and rebooting, you will be booted into your carriers system."
"Keep in Mind" You Must Copy mps_code.dat from your system to your SDcard then modify it with your desire CSC carrier Code. (For me I use Fx editor) (I have FX file Explorer Plus Root v8.0.1.0). Replace your Modify File to your System.
Reboot....
I confirmed All working Great Guys. We Can Change our CSC Carrier. "THAT'S A MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR GO". Really thats Awesome. Mentalmuso My Bro That's Awesome share Buddy. You Really Rock on this One.
voilà Done.

I think most would prefer a non-root option as some apps may no longer function correctly (i.e bank apps).

Yeah tribalfs,
Same here. No way of changing the CSC of my N9860 .
So for now call recording only with an extra app "BoldBeast" (with some quirks - like lower sound volume on the caller side "compared to our own level", and non-working on Bluetooth calls).
But it's better than nothing (My Note 9 still has call recording "using the Thy SIM Swap/reset trick", but I wanted a new experience "need to move" ).
Cheers,
FJorgeR.
I have adapted the S20 CSCfeatures zip if anyone is interested - just install in Magisk

Now my phone in Odin mod. top left corner says (svb fail) and super: SignInfo (build ID is NULL). Is my phone a brick now? I'm really going crazy here it's almost 3 am and no progress. Please could someone help me out?

try force restarting your phone using the volume down and power and see if it takes you the the screen where is says there was an error during an update screen and reflash the firmware again. it should not have taken 2 hours on that part and i can only assume that the app froze on your. with an average computer it should really take more that 5 minutes to completed a firmware flash
