Changing CSC from SER to XXV and not losing anything? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I want to change CSC on my unrooted SM-G950FD from SER (Russia unbranded) to XXV (Vietnam) using the combination ROM method just to have native call recording. But I don't want to mess up anything else (like frequency ranges, APN settings etc, Samsung Pay...). Is this even possible? PHONE Info shows in the CSC menu that active CSC is SER and the available CSC field is blank.
Thanks.

Spain CSC problem

Hello all! I'm using firmware JM7 with OXX csc. I've been using it as it started when flashed. Today I've checked and CSC was KOR, as if I were in Korea. Once written the csc change code on the phone, I get a lot of codes but none for Spain, which I think is FOP.
Then I checked JM7 OXA CSC and JM6 and JPC CSCs included and none contained the code FOP.
So, either I have to use another code or I'm wrong asuming the CSC code is FOP for Spain, anyone got a clue?
Can I use an older CSC that contains FOP?
Thanks in advance
Same problem... I need the last CSC version of Spain... Any clue or some download?

[GUIDE] How to change your CSC code

HOW TO CHANGE CSC CODE ON SAMSUNG GALAXY GRAND DUOS I9082/I9082L​
DISCLAIMER:
*What you done to your phone is at your OWN RISK, you choose to do this modifications to your phone and don't blame me if anything goes wrong.
Hi guys, I created this topic in order to help those who are unable to change their CSC code to back to their stock firmware region's CSC code in order to reclaim their warranty.
*I tried on I9082, it should be work on I9082L and other Samsung devices with Android 4.x + as well.
**Have you noticed even you have reset-ed your BIN counter and flash back official firmware, you are still 1-step closer to reclaim your warranty? Which is the CSC code. Even you are on official Firmware, Samsung will still know you have already flashed custom firmware before and they can refuse to help you repair or whatever to fix your phone if you have any hardware problems.
This is for those who are running on Custom ROM before such as Cyanogenmod (like me ) or other different region's firmware, which will eventually mess up your phone's original CSC code when you are trying to restore to official/stock firmware.
If you are alreading using the correct CSC code on your phone and country, or you have successfully changed the CSC code using CSC changer. You can skip this.
CSC code a.k.a Customer Sales Code.
CSC; - Customer Sales Code;
This value can vary depending on who sold you the handset or if it is branded, if Orange sold you the handset, it will most likely have ORA as a CSC code. If Car Phone warehouse sold it to you, it would be CPW or XEU, this is in relation with your product code and changing the CSC code can change the product code held in nv_data.bin. The CSC firmware file contains a list of definitions for determining which network you are connected to.
The CSC file/value also goes in conjunction with how Kies will read the phone firmware-CSC value and judge if you require an update to your existing firmware. As before, we would use a Kies registry patcher, edit the registry ourselves to edit the firmware-CSC values and update the phone as we required. The new method requires an app on the phone called "Spoof FW", this edits values on the phone, so when kies connects, it believes its another phone and updates for the values you have entered. Spoof FW can be acquire from the Android Market - CLICK HERE (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.johnan.spooffw&hl=en)
Multi-CSC firmware files contain more than one CSC to choose from, so, you can switch from CPW to XEU/XEO/XEE.
To access the CSC selection menu, Eclair: *#272*HHMM#, on FroYo, *#272*IMEI#.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Since the *#272*-IMEI-# code doesn't work on ICS or JB anymore, this gets our job a little bit harder. :crying:
I will guide you using my method. Which it works for me. :fingers-crossed:
Steps:
1a. If you are on CM ROM or Baliboxer's ROM etc, download stock firmware from sammobile.com and directly flash stock firmware which contains the correct regional code for your device through ODIN. (Normally a stock ROM from sammobile will contains several regions CSC. Make sure you have downloaded the firmware which contains your region's CSC.)
After flash, just root the stock ROM. You knew the drill.
or
1b. You are on stock ROM but is on other's region firmware and is rooted (based on Samsung official firmware). Same, just download your stock latest update firmware from sammobile.com first. Which contains your region's CSC.
2. Ok, now both are on a stock ROM but rooted, check your CSC using the CSC Changer app. You will see like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
*Warning, installing CSC code will wipe the data of your phone.
**Try Install the CSC for your region, If you are not able to change back to your region's CSC, continue the procedure below. Else if you have successfully changed it, (Check again by installing the app again) reset your BIN counter using Triangle Away app, reboot and put your phone in Download mode (Do not enter CWM Recovery again as it will increase the BIN counter). Flash back the same Firmware you've downloaded, and you are done. Just like as you firstly bought the phone. (Check it by entering stock recovery, you will see a text like: "Applied Multi-CSC: XME"
3. If not working, then install ES File Explorer from Playstore or link below (recommended) or other file browser with Root access ability. Open the side menu and select Root Explorer.
4. Grant SU permission for ES File Explorer then select Root Explorer, select Mount R/W, again select both Path RW permission.
5. After that browse and open using ES Note Editor (recommended) mps_code.dat file located in /efs/imei/.
Change to the code you want and Save it.
6. Again browse and open using ES Note Editor (recommended) sales_code.dat file located in /system/csc/.
Change to the code you want and Save it.
7. Alright all done, reboot your phone first. Then reset the BIN counter using Triangle Away. (Again, friendly reminder: Do not enter CWM Recovery again as it will increase the BIN counter) Reboot and put your phone in Download mode. Flash the stock ROM you've downloaded though ODIN.
8. After flash, remember you must go into stock recovery immediately the first recovery screen appears. (Which got a blue line running with the Android doll, after that your phone will reboot. Press the recovery buttons as soon the doll disappears)
9. Check if your phone had applied the correct CSC for your region. At line Applied the CSC-code: ATO or XXX etc.
*Pics taken from Google Image.
10. That's it, do a wipe of data/cache, and reboot your phone. You are on Fully Official Stock Samsung ROM.

an easier way
Hello to everyone. One method, wich worked like a charm for me, on Samsung Galaxy Y Pro B5510 it was:
I downloaded two firmware from internet:
-one wich contains latest firmware, and one wich contains my country region;
-i splitted the files using Cygwin +SplitFUS2 (see tutorials from here, in this forum), for both firmwares;
-after that, I made a folder with ex. "custom firmware" where i put these files:
-PDA and MODEM from the latest firmware( already splitted), and the CSC code I put it from my country region firmware(already splitted).
-to work in Odin you have to rename the CSC from your country code with the exactly name from the latest CSC firmware code.
-how to flash with Odin, it's also somewhere here a tutorial.
Now i have the latest firmware from another country, and the CSC code from my country (my tst. works like a charm).
For any infos, please contact me in PM,
It was also difficult for me, at the beginning to understand how to flash my phone, and change file..etc., but now it's clear. For that i will say , if you need help I will try to help you. Bye!

Unlocked S7 Edge with pre-installed Iranian application

I just bought S7 Edge 935F (the factory unlocked version as per the seller claim) when I opened it, I found pre-installed Iranian application. Then I installed "Phone Info * SAMSUNG" application from google play. Using this app, I found in the CSC codes "CSC Country: IRAN" also, I found the product code is "SM-G935FZKATHR" (ends in "THR" as Iran country code) and "Mobile Operator: 310410"... I don't know what's "Mobile Operator" is it different than the network carrier like At&t or T-Mobile?. I listed all the important info below.
My Question:
As per my knowledge, the factory unlocked Samsung Galaxy phones should come with only pre-installed Google or Samsung apps not other regional or 3rd party apps (I don't know if I'm correct with this assumption). My phone hardware is genuine but I'm afraid that someone used it before I receive it or changed its CSC codes to Iranian or he unlocked it himself. I contacted the seller and he's waiting for my decision.
Here's part of the output of Phone Info * SAMSUNG app:

Should I return this phone to the seller as it's not factory unlocked ? ... or I should keep it as such regional pre-installed apps are ordinary in Galaxy S7 edge ?
Thanks in advance.
I have a similar question, all help will be really appreciated. I am an absolute novice, I used phone info to see that my csc is also IRAN, it says i have other CSC options is there a way i can switch ? I tried using the *#272* method using both the imei numbers but it doesnt work. I have no idea how to root the phone so if it possible to switch please let me know.
It is ok, I had mine with "Shahid" app pre-installed also. Never even checked the CSC. Just flashed the latest BTU (UK) firmware with Odin with full factory reset and all good, no strange additional apps.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
This is fairly common here in austria for small shops. I have a hungarian S7 edge from telenor. But I was able to uninstall all carrier apps.
Here if you want a local country variant you have either buy from the large carriers or buy in the large retail stores.
But if you buy in those small turk/service/repair shops here you pay sometimes 150€ less than retail for a sealed new unit but the downside is you never know where it comes from. The shop people often lie to sell it "yes yes it is unbranded".
It should not be a problem though, it is genuine.

When you switch to a non-secure screen lock type (Swipe or None), biometric authentication is suspended for unlocking and for verification in apps like Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass. If you're using biometrics now without a secure screen lock type, you'll be able to continue after the upgrade, but changing to a secure screen lock type is recommended.

There's a possibility, that after flashing with Odin (and using home_csc), you'll be asked to enter a PW
That's the PW you fill in in "Secure Startup"
This happened me a few times, resulting I'd to reset my device...

Just because it's in the wrong section in one forum, doesn't make it automatically okay to put it in the wrong section in another forum.
This is obviously ROM related and NOT about guides or news or discussion.
My only suggestion of moving it to the appropriate forum is so it won't get lost in the all the questions and unrelated topics to do with ROMs.
shrug, up to you, I have no need for this so enjoy getting lost in the morass.

I havent had any updates yet, still on AQC9 and checking for OTA update tells me there is nothing newer, mine is using XEU (sim free UK S8+).
While im here, are the S8+ firmwares compatible with the S8 ones? They are identical since the hardware is exactly the same right?

Well.. went and flashed btu in odin... but bcs the new multi csc... is still xeu at least is as everyone else now AQDD
Will you make a thread for the S8 (G950F), too?
Would be really nice!
Great to see you here @henklbr
im following everything here but the flashing didn't change my CSC at all i tried both files provided but with no luck
it flashes normally but the blue screen stops at 32% and then erasing and reboot normally
If all ROMs from europe are having the same multi-csc, are OTA updates then also europe wide released ? Or do we need to flash with odin like with the S7edge ?

Multi CSC Firmware problem

Hello
I have problem with Firmware CSC. XEO firmware is multi-csc with default code ITV. So after every flashing XEO i always end with ITV CSC. How I can change default CSC in multi-CSC ROM ? Without rooting phone of course.
