Flashing a different region code (CSC) firmware. - Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers

Hi guys.
I recently noticed that my Galaxy A20s (SM-A207F/DS) didn't get Android 10 and 11 updates for no reason. No updates available for my device in settings / software update.
So I decided to flash the leatest update manually.
The current region code (CSC) is THR (Iran) with Pie version.
I looked up sammobile.com for Android 11 firmware but it doesn't have THR region.
The question is:
What happens if I flash different CSC?
Which region code should I use?

[Q] impact of flashing a different country/product code?

Hello everyone,
I've tried searching but I did not find a specific answer to my question...
what is the impact of flashing a different country code to my device if PDA, CSC and MODEM versions are identical (not just the last 3 characters... but all the string)?
I'm asking the question because I wanted to factory reset my device and upgrade to the latest version. I have a TTT (Trinidad and Tobago) country code... but I saw that there was a more recent version on sammobile with EON code (also Trinidad and Tobago).
I flashed the device... reset factory default... and it's working perfectly fine.
When I connect my device to my computer, I can still see the TTT country code in Kies... and Kies does not give me any error.
And status is "official".
Will I encounter any problem in the future because I manually updated with a different country code firmware file?

What is the correct firmware to download

Hi. I have a Galaxy Note 4 N910C that is bought from U.A.E (United Arab Emirates) it was given to me but was rooted. So I cannot update it via OTA. So decided to just flash a rom manually via odin. I'm quite new to flashing but I know how to do it. So I went to Sammobile for firmwares. Before anything else. I am in
Android 4.4.4 Kitkat
Baseband : N910CXXU1ANL2
Build : KTU84P.N910CXXU1ANK5
In my box there's : N910CZWEXSG
So in my box, the last three is XSG which is the country code for UAE so I went to filter the roms via country code and I am confuse in the available roms for download.
There is a PDA which is N910CXXU1ANK5. So I assume that is the correct rom? But there's this CSC? What is it? And in my baseband N910CXXU1ANL2 what does it mean?
For the available download with PDA N910CXXU1ANK5, it's CSC is N910COJV1ANK5 . Is that the correct rom for me?

Firmware product code difference

I'm currently using stock APD1 firmware with product code NEE. Being in Sweden there seem to exist a newer firmware but with product code VDS. Can I update to the VDS firmware without losing data? Or wait for the newer firmware to be released for NEE ?
