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.

[Q] Flashing to XEO (Poland) firmvare + changing CSC with Odin?

Hi, I want to flash my galaxy as fedup with waiting for updates.
I got BTU, UK unbranded, unlocked S4
I am polish, so thinking flash it to polish firmware as they get it fast.
GT-I9505 XEO I9505XXUBMEA thats the one I want go for
Can someone tell what is it ? is it network firmware or unbranded?
I would go for it only if I can change CSC code to XEO, so I can get OTA updates.
If not I will keep waiting for BTU
And Dont really want XEO polish carier firmware, as I can flash to Three UK BTU network, would be the same and dont have to change CSC.
So, main questions are
What it is XEO ? what network ?
Can I flash it + change code to CSC all safe?
and how to do it ? Odin
Thank You.

as far as i tried you cant change csc with flashing . unless you flash single csc not multi.
only way is to root with auto root than change csc wit csc changer and then flash desired firmware with odin.
xeo looks like it is simfree so its just general for poland

Can someone help me out as I am new to all of this...
I am using a Samsung galaxy tab 7.0 (p2610), and I flashed a jelly bean update successfully using odin. I am not rooted.
I have a system update in the notifications window that is stuck there, that is not working (process fails), this is due to the csc code being in great britain.
I am in Canada, I have Odin ready to go, can someone please show me how to change the CSC of my device to Canada?
Where do I go to download the appropriate file? After I assume I load it up in Odin with device in recovery mode, and flash using the "CSC" option in Odin correct?
Any help would be great.

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.

Yes its simple root your phone with autoroot and install SAMSUNG INFO.APK file and use the CSC CHANGER tool to change the specific CSC and click on the install button and its Done
Note please backup your data before doing that your phone will be reset after doing this

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).

Problem Multi CSC

Hello,
i have a belgian S7 edge and flashed a while ago the british nougat beta firmware.
yesterday i wanted to go back to my countries own firmware but was still marshmallow on sammobile.
so i installed this version using odin.
but when i did a recovery and wiped everything it installed german apps and the language was in german.
i tought that my CSC wasnt correct so i only flashed the CSC from the marshmallow rom for my country but the problem remains.
now i have multi CSC but i only want one and that is CSC PRO (Belgium Proximus)
how can i fix this? i tried the code with *#27*imei# but nothing works?
because of this problem i cannot use VOLTE on my own operator.
You need to flash a totally different CSC that is not multi csc with re partiton enabled in Odin... then flash the csc you want to be on again with re partition enabled in Odin.
And which csc shpuld i choose for example?

Try flashing a KSA CSC firmware (Saudi Arabia) and then flash the CSC firmware you want
I also have the same problem. Last month I flashed a BTU firmware because I haven't got the Nougat update yet here in the Philippines and I really wanted to try out the Nougat update as soon as it started rolling out in UK. This month the Nougat update finally rolled out here in the Philippines so I decided to go back to Philippine firmware which is XTC. After flashing I got the Thailand CSC (THL) even though I flashed the Philippine firmware (XTC). My s7e is not rooted and I have no plans on rooting it. Can someone help me go back to Philippine CSC? Thanks in advance.

The CSC you are trying to flash maybe part of the same firmware so you have to change to another csc entirely. Try KSA CSC firmware and flash the PRO CSC firmware
I am in the UK and my phone orgibally had XEU CSC and I wanted to flash the BTU CSC to get Nougat however because BTU and XEU were in the same firmware this meant when I flashed the BTU CSC I still had the XEU CSC.
So I flashed KSA CSC and flashed BTU CSC and now I have BTU
Piravinth said:
The KSA CSC wouldn't be part of the multi-csc you have so if you flash that and flash the firmware that has the CSC you want you should get that CSC

When flashing the KSA CSC firmware, did you add the BL,AP,CP AND CSC files and did you choose the csc file and not the home csc?
Did you follow the same step when flashing PRO CSC firmware?

BTU Firmware for Galaxy S7 please?

I need a stock BTU firmware for my SM-G930F S7 as the place i bought it from(mobiles.co.uk)screwed me over and gave me a firmware with a verizon us csc.It even thinks the GPU is an Adreno,when it is actually a Mali,which is why I want the stock UK Firmware.

Well,I have the firmware now.But should I take the risk and flash it with ODIN or not.Also,in CSC in Odin,do you put the HOME_CSC there or the CSC?
CSC wipes your data; HOME_CSC does not.

Cool,so I'd use home csc so I don't lose my data.But I've heard from some people that they lost their IMEI when they used a different CSC.
CSC won't affect your IMEI, just don't tick anything extra in Odin as that's usually what breaks IMEI etc. Leave it all default.

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

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.

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.

Use Odin 3.13 and uncheck F. Reset Time.
I had XEO csc. I've used HOME_CSC_OXA.
Installation was a success. It didn't erase my data. 0x0
Will see how it goes
