I've been searching a way to change my S10+'s CSC code since I have received it in April but no methods worked out for me so far - the 272 + imei method (returns me UNKNOWN APPLICATION), flashing none OXM csc and back to the OXM multi csc etc (the none oxm csc works but returns back to XME when I flash XSA firmware).
Have purchased the phone from Malaysia (XME) and using in Australia (Needs it to be XSA)
S8 and S9 seems to have a method to change their CSC code but S10 has no working method for me.
I have already have rooted my S10+ long ago, any possible method to change CSC with root?

Hi, i can't change my CSC with *#272*imei#
I bought my phone in germany, and flash belgium Firmware (which is the country i live) but the CSC changed from DBT (Germany) to SEB (Baltic) how
bump
Usually to change the CSC you have to flash the new firmware (which you have done) but then also flash to change the CSC. - On previous Samsung's (Note 3) - you have to flash the firmware, wipe the device then insert your SIM and it changes to your region.
This *may* apply to the S5 also, but only way to actually tell would be to do it, extract the CSC info and flash it. If you're unsure how to do this, then I'd hold off for a little while until others have tested different methods or release a guide on how to change it.
hi guys. anyone experienced the same. here's what happened:
i was using i9505 glb kitkat (csc=glb=globe philippines). i flashed clockworkmod, then install carbon rom.
last month, i re-flash my original glb kitkat. then went to recovery. i noticed that the csc changed to sin (singapore singtel) without doing anything.
now my problem is what rom should i use next time i update to lollipop: glb or sin.
pls help and many thanks.
Is your phone SIM unlocked? If it is, it doesn't matter which CSC you use. Otherwise, stay with CSC GLB.
No. I used regionlockaway to make it sim unlocked.
Then as mentioned, the CSC doesn't matter. Case in point is my I9505. Originally an O2 phone, when I purchased it the S4 was already unlocked and had Ukranian firmware on it. When I installed the Black Edition UK firmware (CSC BTU) after repairing my S4's SIM tray and again removing the SIM lock, I ended up with CSC AUT (Switzerland) instead.
On an open firmware such as CSC BTU, there are actually multiple CSCs within the firmware, and all the CSC does is customize the firmware to the needs of a specific region. In the case of AUT, the firmware installed three Swiss-specific apps that could be easily removed. BTU and the other CSCs essentially do the same thing, and I am guessing this is without modifying the firmware itself.
Ok. Thanks guys. I'll still use glb firmware once lollipop is released. I had once semi-bricked my s4 (got repaired at samsung center) so i'm kinda nervous this time.
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!
Hello
I was on the PHN stock firmware (from the "official" topic) .
I made a clean install to change to XEF with the last XEF 7.0 firmware
AP_G935FXXS2DRAA_CL12365438_QB16535167_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar
BL_G935FXXS2DRAA_CL12365438_QB16535167_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
CP_G935FXXU2DRA9_CL648265_QB8671796_SIGNED.tar
CSC_OXA_G935FOXA1DQJ3_CL12365438_QB15342654_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
After the install, I get the OREO OTA Update.
AP : G935FXXU2ERD5
CP : G935FXXU2ERD5
CSC : G935FOXA2ERD5
But It seems that I got the UK firmware instead of the XEF one... (for example I have Samsung Pay UK, but It works)
Is It normal ?
Hello, because you flashed CSC that wipe all ... next time, flash HOME_CSC and you will keep your settings
Now you can go and flash your CSC from nougat here (I don't think XEF is already done for Oreo at moment) : http://www.phonandroid.com/forum/av...operateur-sur-le-s7edge-sm-g935f-t177633.html

Yes I know, I flashed the CSC, because I wanted to change from PHN to XEF. (To activate Samsung Pay in my country)
But the OTA Update change from XEF to BTU by himself....

OTA won't change CSC, it means your CSC was already set to BTU, thats why you received BTU oreo OTA.
