Hi,
I am potentially looking to buy a S10+ from CEX.
It is from what I can see using the Vodafone UK firmware, hence the VOD.
I am however looking to use this with O2, O2U to be correct.
This is for WIFI Calling and 4G Calling.
Is it possible to change the CSC on the S10+?
If so, is there a relatively easy guide?
Been using XPERIA for a long time and simple as flashing the firmware for your carrier and currently have a OnePlus 6 so no need to change firmware etc.
Help is appreciated.
Is o2u is a single csc yes , if it's in a multi csc firmware u gonna get the default one in the pack

I think the default from the O2U CSC firmware is VID.
I do not have the device yet, but does the active CSC not change based on the inserted SIM?
VID would be the German O2 from what I believe, so would I not be right in thinking if I flash and factory reset the phone should default to O2U because an O2 UK SIM is inserted?

Hello,
Yesterday I downloaded the Vodafone Italian Nougat firmware, flashed it and immediately as my S7E turned on I saw that the firmware was wrong.
In fact the firmware is from Germany No Brand, I already downloaded it again just to make sure that I didn't made any mistakes, flashed it again and I have the same problem.
Sammobile take up to 10 days to respond, So I'm asking if anyone else has this problem, or maybe can anyone upload the real Vodafone Italia Nougat firmware:
Model SM-G935F
Model name Galaxy S7 edge
Country Italy (Vodafone)
Version Android 7
Changelist 10422490
Build date Mon, 20 Feb 2017 06:27:00 +0000
Security Patch Level 2017-02-01
Product code OMN
PDA G935FXXU1DQBT
CSC G935FVFG1DQBT
Thanks everyone

Thanks, will download, flash and report back here
I downloaded that one myself some days ago and had no issues.
However, I am wondering why did you flash it if it was wrong. You can easily determine it by the filename.
Has your device been on OMN before?

Yes mine is branded Vodafone, but I had the UK Nougat flashed, now I saw that finnaly Italian Vodafone Nougat became available I donwloaded it to flash, but the guys from sammobile made an mistake, yes the firmware is Vodafone, but it's germany not italy
It contains actually several countries but all are Vodafone branded.
Did you have a Vodafone Italy SIM inside when booting up for the first time?

Yes ofcourse, I an prepaid Vodafone SIM installed. The phone was not bought under any contract with Vodafone
the firmware is multi csc files with Germany is the main CSC. we cannot do anything with it. The only way i know how to change the csc fully to your country is via Samsung Service Center or you need to root the device and do it with samsung phoneinfo apps. Root and you will loose samsung pay function/secure folder and any knox related software like shealth
Usually the CSC changes accordingly to the sim inserted. Only if there's no corresponding csc it takes the default one in multi csc roms.
Please download Phone INFO ★Samsung★ and posts screens here to see what's really going on.
Here's the screenshot
Anyone has an solution?

Flash your original marshmallow firmware using the CSC. It will factory reset your device
Flash the latest Nougat firmware using the HOME_CSC from your original firmware (can be the marshmallow one or if you have an Nougat one, use this). Don't use the nougat CSC file anymore.
Unfortunately without a Single CSC file you are not getting back to your original CSC and a single CSC has not been published for Vodafone Italy. In case of multi CSC the system uses the CSC already applied or in case of change (since you've BTU at the moment) the standard CSC which is VD2 (Vodafone Germany) in this case.
The only way to change that is with root.

I said using CSC meaning the firmware included all the stuff of your firmware.
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Unfortunately that won't help as there's no firmware which only includes Vodafone Italy. There's only one with several European Vodafone settings and if you flash that onto a device with non-Vodafone CSC such as BTU it used the standard CSC included which is Vodafone Germany. I thought first different, too, unfortunately there's no way without root (tested it by myself).
Rooting is out of picture, because I don't want to loose warranty.
I'll try to download and flash Vodafone Italy MM, then flash it, after I'll flash again the nougat with the old MM csc.
Edit: in this case I'll wait for a few weeks until Vodafone Italy will release the proper csc file.
Thanks
I have bought a G950FD dual sim S8 from UAE. In order not to have any limitation from service provider in Turkey (like voLTE, voWIFI or SamsungPay) I am planning to flash G950F CSC. Will there be any complications, what do you think?

Let us all know what happens. I'm curious to see these things on an international level.

Are you sure that your Turkish provider doesn't use the same CSC as the UAE CSC? Most G950F/FD's use the multi-CSC and all you need to do is a factory reset, then put your country's SIM in and it will apply that CSC.
Also, G950F/FD are the exact same firmware/CSC

That is exactly what happened, even better my provider recognized the phone as G950F so there was no need to flash CSC at all.

Is it required to flash the UK CSC? Because if I do I won't be able to use Samsung Pay, right?

Totally forgot about being able to change region with lyca, thank you so much op!
I have a Lyca sim card but I can't change my CSC, where did you get the BTU CSC from?
same issue here...
cant change csc code to BTU
also here, with itv csc.. not change
you can change csc trough odin, just download the btu version with samfirm tool
I have OXM multi csc. So it changes when I insert specific sim card. Will it change to UK after inserting Lyca sim?

Thanks. This is what I wanted to know
I used samfirm to download BTU firmware, flashed it (4 files) with Odin with Leyca sim configured to UK but my csc is still XEO, not BTU
after 2 days of struggle i did it without root
first, you need a UK sim or lycamobile sim.
0. remove any sim from phone
1. flashed BTU firmware
2. flashed Combination firmware COMBINATION_FA70_G955FXXU1AQE3 with HOME_CSC from BTU firmware
3. After boot, entered in factory Imei and input *#243203855#, choose BTU, wait for changes to be done
4. reflashed BTU firmware and insert your uk sim
4.5 if you have a lyca sim, go into simtoolkit and change region to uk
5. install samsung members app and log-in with you samsung account and you should see in notice Beta enrollment
i'm here if you have more questions

No way to root for the sake of getting a beta version which will eventually come to all S8+ phones later (or the final version), but thanks for sharing.

Good news for the people who wants to change CSC according to their home country.
Now, you can easily change your CSC no matter from which region you had bought your phone.
***No Root Needed***
Follow this steps to change CSC:
1. First insert the Sim of your desired CSC country.
2. Then after restarting just factory reset your phone.
3. Now the phone will boot up with welcome Screen.
4. After few seconds it will ask you whether you want to change the phone settings and region according to your Sim Card providers country.
5. Boom!!! now, phone will reset again and welcome screen will appear again. Now, you will have the same CSC and configuration according to your own country.
N.B: It works only for OXM Multi CSC based Firmware after One UI 2.5 update. So, every device with OXM MULTI CSC & One UI 2.5 update will be eligible.
Will it also change the SW-service provider, like from Vodafone to a unlocked sw-version?

If you are trying to change the CSC first ensure your firmware is based on OXM Multi CSC and your desired CSC is part of the OXM CSC family. Otherwise it won't work. And for checking correct CSC after following this procedure use *Phoone Info Sam** app from playstore

I have the OXM multi CSC. I will try that later.
Im trying to get back to ZTO since I changed my phone's to DBT.
For people who can't switch between csc in the same mult csc pack. OXM multi csc pack contains all the european generic and network branded firmware (csc) so if You are at SFR (part of OXM multi pack), and flash it with BTU (part of OXM multi pack) the SFR will stay. What you need to do is to flash it with different multi csc pack (just see what packs are available for your model), then flash it back with OXM multi pack, and it should switch to some generic csc, then if you instert your sim card it should ask you if you want to customize your phone to the inserted sim card and it will change your csc to the one you want.

Hi sivuha0101,
So if i undestand your solution, as i am from FRANCE ( XEF )
1- flash with a NZC firmware like it doesn'nt contain neither XEF or TIM ( mine actually )
like : SM-G986B_1_20210501192706_0r7rhuu316_fac.zip.enc4
( do i need to flash all ? ie AP,CSC,CP and BL ? )
reboot, fast install etc....
then
2 - flash again with my XEF rom :
SM-G986B_1_20210517170737_0n0cb625x6_fac.zip.enc4
and insert my sim card to detect my correct CSC code .
I am right ? thanks for this information btw !
EDIT :
tried, the flash failed with the NZC firmware ( the phone is good ) but now i don't know what rom to flash
Answering my self :
1/ buy Samkey credits on ebay user ( 5$ )
2/ Use one credit in Samkey software to change the CSC ( less than 2 min )
3/ Enjoy your phone !
