Issue with stress tracker, can't change region - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello
When i order my phone on amazon, it was on a french rom. (XEF)
I was able to use SpO2 and stress tracker, but when i did the update to oreo. A message appear "you can't use this feature on your phone"
I was wondering why, and after contacting samsung health app support , they told me that it's because in my region, stress tracker is not authorized by the autorities due to some restrictions.
Knowing that, i tried to flash official rom of England and Germania :
Germany : https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=17E47941EB3B11E7A5F9FA163EE8F90B (DBT)
United Kingdoms : https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=34A34B44F6CA11E7A5F9FA163EE8F90B (BTU)
After flashing, i still have this :
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-XiugbLHrkr__RtVvyKmvp11EMnHvtQS
XEF (France) i flash rom with odin.
I don't understand why it dont change, i don't take HOME_CSC but CSC so it hard reset my phone each time i did the flash, so why i don't pass to DBT or BTU ? i don't understand..
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks you

[Q] CSC from other pack

Hi
There is this stock package for s5360 - S5360_XXLK1_OXFLK1_XXLH2. There is Polish language but there is no XEO. Can I use CSC from another ROM pack for example from this S5360_XXLH2_OXXLH2_XXLH2 ??
Why not try:
S5360_XXKL3_OXXKL1_XXKL3
European multilanguage build.
based on: S5360XXKL3_S5360OXXKL1_RST_S5360XXKL3_HOME.tar.md5
ro.build.date=Wed Dec 14 17:16:14 KST 2011
Supported languages:
XX = de,en,es,fr,hu,it,nl,pt(cs,da,el,fi,no,pl,sl,sv,tr )
Included CSCs: (Default is XEU)
ATO AUT COS CPW CYO CYV EIR EUR FOP ITV MOO PAN PHE SUW TPH XEF XEH XEO XEU XEZ XSK
After the flash, set your country/provider in dialer *#272*[yourIMEI]# (-> It will wipe your data, and rebrand the phone to specific country/carrier)
This build does not contais any provider specific bloatware
I think pl is polish language and XEO is there also in this stock firmware.
Also Doky73 is converting and releasing new firmware updates at present, he just did Polish T-Mobile stock ROM today so maybe you can check Sammobile for new firmware for yourself and ask nicely if he will convert it? :angel:​
I would like to use newest ROM. The newest is S5360_XXLK1_OXFLK1_XXLH2.
Is this CSC setting really important ?

I thought it was but apparently it is not so important at all. (See the Q&A Ask any questions thread). Just flash the latest firmware that you want which supports your language and you should be fine apart from having to set up your data network settings manually (APN settings). I have to do this anyway as my carrier is not major so I keep a list of the settings for when I change ROM, if you don't have those written down or cannot find them online get them from your phone before you do anything else.
Also, have you made a nandroid backup using CWM recovery yet? Always do this before making major changes, it could save you a lot of trouble if things go wrong! (I didn't and it caused me a lot of trouble lol). Also make a note of your IMEI number by pressing *#06# in dialer.
If when you have flashed the firmware you cannot connect to your carrier, then press *#272#(your IMEI number)# and it should fix it. If it doesn't (I am told this is very unlikely) then just flash the CSC file as you were asking about doing in your first post using Odin and it should all be good again.
I have been told that the CSC doesn't matter but have not had chance to test it myself yet as I only found out tonight!
Good luck :good:

How to change CSC (No root/Odin)?

Hi,
I have messed up my phone while playing with TowelRoot, so I flashed a new firmware. This is the recommended software for Belgium (I9505XXUGNG8) on SamMobile, this firware was for Luxembourg, and on french forums they said it was this one for Belgium, since belgium does not have a firmware.
So I flashed it via Odin, and then the phone rebooted, however, my CSC is set to ORX (Slovakia) for some reason. This is a Multi-CSC firmware.
So, I wonder what CSC is it for this firmware (Before I flashed the phone, the welcome screen was in english)
And how to get this back so I get 100% stock, by keeping KNOX 0x0.
(I can't root with TowelRoot, because it got patched)
Sorry to do this, but bump.

CSC is required for OTA (automatique mise à jour du firmware), so no need to change it because ORX area is linked to Europ.
You'll get OTA the same time (almost) than France and Lx , no worry.
in case you fear it is always possible to flash the full new Rom with ODIN.
Welcome screen is english and you move it the language you want.
About KNOX 0 if you always flash FW with Odin you'll never have to worry about it.
Clear?
Ok and I can send it back to Samsung ?
(Thanks btw ☺)

I don't say this is a problem, csc has some region related features. IF u really want those features, you can use specific region firmware as u stated about your region but i don't care about csc because it does not create a real problem. Changing CSC is bit confusing so flash complete whatever firmware you want and enjoy, also hit thanks :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Change CSC for Note 4 without root

Hi guys,
I would know, if it would be possible, when you flash a multiple csc firmware, if something exists like this for galaxy note 4 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208627
For exemple, I want to have a french XEF CSC code.
Roms with french CSC code in sammobile firmware are only multiple CSC's roms, and I can't switch CSC without rooting my phone.
Due to knox, I don't want to root my phone yet. So, if something exists to switch my "MET" CSC code to "XEF", I shall thank you.
Thank you!

Your in luck first make sure your phone is running this MET firmware, if it isn't then you'll need to install it before proceeding
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/37365/N910FXXU1ANJ4_N910FOXX1ANI6_MET.zip/
Assuming it is next step is to install this XEF (using Odin) as it uses the same PDA and MODEM files as the MET one so we won't have any problems later:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/36930/N910FXXU1ANJ4_N910FOXX1ANI6_XEF.zip
Okay now your phone will have dual CSC codes. Check it with this :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
Last step is to factory reset your phone, this will remove the MET CSC code and leave you with just XEF and you'll be able to receive OTA updates.
http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24346
I'm sorry, it doesn't work.
I just flashed MET version, after, I flashed XEF version
When I check into Phone info application, my CSC is already MET and not MET/XEF.
Another idea? Thx

Clarification regarding multi csc

Hello everyone,
I thought of changing my mom's s7 edge region to BTU (currently KSA) as it is very slow in getting OTAs. It only got the December security patch update a week ago or so. As I am not familiar with Samsung phones, I read the forums for every info about CSCs (the CSC and home_CSC were very confusing). I checked the CSC using phone info and it does not have the original CSC, but have a lot of available CSCs and from what I read, I presume the ROM is multi CSC and that it comes with KSA because of the origin country.
But the problem is that I read somewhere that if you flash the firmware of some other region (eg BTU), you cannot go back to KSA, instead it will default to XSG, and also that you need root to select CSC. It also said 'maybe' I would be able to return to the original CSC using smart switch. Can anyone confirm this?
Will it be denied warranty or something when I cannot revert CSC back to KSA before giving it for warranty? (I read that changing region generally does not void warranty, but I think I'm paranoid **thinking of my mom screaming at me**)
Also if I flash the UAE firmware (XSG), will I still retain my own CSC if I do not flash the UAE CSC along with it because XSG is given is my available CSC codes? ( If that is true I should flash BL+AP+CP without CSC or am i wrong?)
Please pardon me if this was asked before but I could not find any information regarding the first and third question
Thank you very much!
