How would I change CSC on SM-N986B. - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu

I have an unlocked Note 20 Ultra 5G SM-N986B on ThreeUK (H3G). I want to change the CTC to BTG so that I get the unbranded firmware and no ThreeUK software.
I downloaded the BTG firmware via Frija and installed with ODIN, following the instructions in this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...to/ath3-official-stock-fw-updateodin-t4143909.
But its still on the same firmware and CTC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same issues, the flash is successful but CSC does not change

Hey, did you find a solution for this? I have the same problem.
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 !!!
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.

Hi, try @Tkkg1994 CSC utility zip , you'll need TWRP to flash it, it has a huge range of CSC's to choose from:
[UTILITY][CSC][21.09.16][SM-G935F/FD/W8] Flashable CSC Selection V1.7

Download the latest firmware for your region
Extract PAK version download with 7-zip and copy the CSC
Flash firmware for your region BL/Ap/CP/CSC_PAK (the one extracted earlier) from PAK firmware
Only add the CSC from PAK firmware
Your device will be wiped.

Hi, I had a G928C with the same issue only the difference was I needed to migrate from PAK to XSG. So, what you need to do is, download a PAK firmware from sammobile and a BTU firmware (BTU is for the UK region). Flash BTU first and then right after a factory reset and then flash your PAK firmware, don't forget to do a factory reset otherwise your old csc will remain intact and don't root your phone please. Don't void the warranty.
The problem actually is most of the firmwares out there are MULTI-CSC so, your old CSC always remains intact, BTU on the other hand is a single CSC firmware so, your phone is forced to change it's CSC as there's only one CSC available when you perform the reset. So, when you'll flash the PAK after BTU your CSC will be changed to PAK from BTU.
So, you gotta do this XSG->BTU->PAK
And I repeat, please don't root your phone. There's no joy in that unless you really want to do something that actually requires a rooted phone.
Best of luck
P.S If you are able to get Factory firmware of PAK that would be great. (The one with separate CP,CSC,BL etc files with PIT as well).

Sammobile wrong firmware! Please help

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

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

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

Find a firmware without a multi CSC I believe XSA and UK carrier firmwares all are like this.. Check the repartition box. Flash and don't use the Home CSC. Let the phone boot and then flash your multi CSC firmware. That is how I have gotten around it my S7 edge when I was trying to make Samsung Pay work.

Hey thanks for the quick reply. So just confirming before I start, you reckon below are the steps I should take?
1) Flash with a non multi-csc firmware, such as the Australian XSA (check the repartition box, and don't use HOME_CSC)
2) Reboot, then flash again with a multi-csc firmware, such as the Netherland PHN firmware.
And, when flashing do I pick all 4 files in Odin (BL, CP, AP, CSC)?
Thanks for your help.

If you want Samsung Pay works in the USA also then just flash XSA with all the files and don't use home csc and your done.
The only time I had issues is when you want to switch from a multi csc to another multi csc. Example German csc to UK csc because they use the same firmware. That is when I flashed a fixed csc then flashed a multi csc. So I could get the specific csc to work on my phone. Supposedly you can do it differently through the dialer I think. It never worked for me.
I have my s8 and my gf's s7 edge both on XSA because Samsung pay and white pages both work. Only downside is you get updates a month later then BTU.
I hope that makes sense if not pm me.
Thank you. It works as you said.

Flashing Official Oreo 8.0 U.K. Firmware on non-UK phones

As you know, Oreo is out in U.K.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935F/BTU/download/G935FXXU2ERD5/217550/
I have G-935F and it is from Vietnam. Is it possible to flash the official U.K. release and use it without any problems?
yes you can , i have been flashing firmware of different country to my s7 edge duos .
you just need to be sure chipset and model number are same.
Between you can flash s7 edge single sim firmware to dual sim.
P.S. can you upload the btu oreo firmware to google drive and share. Sammobile server is slow here.
Thanks

Since it is from Sammobile.com, I don't think it is right to upload it to other site because it's their files. You can get Premium Service for faster downlad tho.

it´s because of Mulit-CSC.. when you don´t wipe and factory reset, you stay on your CSC.. so ITV.. when you want BTU ota´s, you need to wipe your S7 complete including factory reset

Since BTU and ITV are in same OXA CSC file you must first flash a non OXA firmware like NEE , EUR, DBT and then reflash the BTU firmware.
OXA is multi csc file. ALL in same group wont change from ITV.

DBT is a OXA Firmware so far.. on my S8 it was the Point.. S7 DBT isn´t OXA?

Oreo in France (mixed XEF and BTU)

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.
