How to change region fw from G950U1 to G950W? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi, I'm wondering how I can get the Canadian XAC G950W firmware onto my XAA American G950U1 phone. I'm living in Canada right now and I'm missing out on some specific features so I would like to make my S8 into a full fledged Canadian phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
(In short, I want to change the region of my G950U1 to G950W)

Changing csc on SM-G935W8

I was looking forward to change csc on my s7 edge from canada, but odin has not let me to do so. I have a question regarding this. Can i install files(AP-BL-CP) of 935w8 variant and CSC from other firmware for the model G935FD?
Will it work? I have both the firmwares downloaded and was looking forward to do it. But just beacause of fear of bricking my device haven't yet tried. Is there someone who can confirm that will it work or not?

[Q] Flashing Different Carrier Firmwares

I'm seeing conflicting information on how to flash our phones with official software and have a few questions:
Where is the carrier-free US S8 (not plus) variant firmware? I've searched, what even is the CSC for it? XAS, TMK? XAA?
I found a thread that seems to have the EXACT process for flashing any carrier firmware, it says to download the G950/G955W firmwares, which ones? There's some for Bell, Fido, etc. The op failed to provide links.
Has anyone actually successfully debloated their US carrier S8 with a non-carrier firmware, a firmware simular to what we had on the G930U? If so, could you post your EXACT process, down to the very download links you used?
I'm using a T-Mobile US Galaxy S8, and my friend has a Sprint Galaxy S8+, we both want the carrier-free firmwares flashed, but things seem to have changed a lot in the many years since we've flashed phones (the last phone I used Odin with was the Note II!)
Thank you
I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to the US variant of the S8, but I can tell you this much, the SM-G950W is the canadian model it seems, and XAC is the unbranded non carrier firmware for that model.

INS ROM for SM-G935F?

Does the Indian version of the ROM for International S7 Edge exists? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Read a post that said I can use a INS rom for SM-G935FD. Is it risk free? No bricking and stuff? Does that mean I can use a second Sim Card if I flash a G935FD ROM? I am currently on XSA (Australian) Firmware because of Whitepages and Samsung Pay. Is it worth flashing? Plan to return to USA after a month and wanted to know a better alternative to the XSA firmware that works well with USA carriers.

Thanks

How to change CSC from XAA to TCE?

I bought a S8 + originally from Verizon. Then installed firmware unlocked (SM-G955U1) then the CSC automatically changed to XAA (usa unbranded).
I am currently using it in Mexico with Telcel. Everything works good, samsung pay does work, but I want to active VoLTE and use carrier ID anti spam there's no option to activate that because my CSC is not TCE, the problem is that the firmware is not SM-G955F (exynos version) that includes TCE (telcel México) CSC which allows to go to a specific setting menu to activate volte and ID anti spam.
I'm almost sure it is not possible changing the CSC because proccesor firmware incompatibility Snapdragon (SM-G955U1) and Exynos (SM-G955F).
The question is, can I change the CSC that comes with firmware U to a CSC that is supposed ONLY included in firmware F (exynos) ?
And how to do that?
