Changing CSC Without ROOT!

Hey! My issue is to somehow change the CSC without root on my device. I live in Hungary. I bought my phone at carrier (T-Mobile) my original CSC is TMH. When Marshmallow released for Poland i did manage to put it on my device. Now... because XEO is a Multi-rom after a clean install my CSC went to TPH (Portugal) I searched for how to change csc without root (in this case XEO) but im failed to do it.
So guys, is there any option to do it?

it is not similar; we are here talking about the only PIT available for us, OXX, which includes XEO, ROM, SIO etc but default one seems to be TPH, and factory reset brings us always to TPH

I had to flash 5.1.1 BTU to get rid of TPH. From there on, I came back to my original CSC. Therefore, I changed my CSC from TPH to SIM without root.
Edit: if I understand correctly, you can't flash BTU over TPH and then your original over BTU?

1. when flashing 601 XEO I was on 511 BTU, but the CSC it applied was TPH, even after factory reset
2. SIM is in different PIT than XEO so you got lucky....

Yes,but i went from TPH to BTU and then from BTU to SIM. That's why I don't understand why you can't. Flash 5.1.1 from BTU in Odin, do a factory reset after BTU flash and TPH will be gone.

On older Samsung phones there was a code that you dial in the dial pad, which opened a menu so you can chose your CSC, but I don't know if it still works on the newer phones.

"do a factory reset after BTU flash and TPH will be gone"
right after ODIN flash, NOT auto rebbot, however GO to recovery instead? and wipe all the things, and rebbot, to initial setup?

Update from Nougat Beta 1 to Nougat final (on DBT phone)

I have a german (DBT) Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
I flashed Nougat Beta 1 with Odin. CSC is atm G935FOXA1ZPK4
What is the best way to update to the final, if possible with keeping data?

I'm assuming you have no intentions to trip knox since you're only on beta 1, so custom flashing appears to be out of question.
You can flash via Odin one of two available official firmwares (BTU and O2C) at the time of this posting (note that this may break CSC features since your original is DBT) or wait out for official DBT release. Official firmwares can be checked on Sammobile.
Using Home_CSC in Odin would not wipe your data, however, that may mean you would have to wait for official DBT firmware to be on the correct CSC.
Last but not least, you can roll back to MM and wait for official OTA updates from your carrier. Its pretty much a waiting game on the official route.

I originally was on DBT, my CSC changed when i flashed Beta 1 BTU, because Beta 1 was also not available as DBT. After flashing Beta 1 my CSC showed OXA (see screenshot above).
In the meantime i flashed final BTU with Home_CSC. My CSC is now shown as G935FOXA1DPLT.
I will switch back to DBT, when final DBT is available. Is there a way to change to DBT without erasing data? I guess not.

As long as you use Home_CSC you shouldn't lose data, so hopefully it'll be included later in the final DBT firmware.

Nougat Firmware with MM CSC?

Hi...as the title says: Is it possible?
So to flash BTU and after it the CSC for my provider (it's from a MM Firmware)?
Tried the search function but couldn't find a statement.

it works, mine has xeu csc and I have flashed btu without a problem

Yeah...I'm also on BTU now. But I wanted to know if I could flash a 6.0.1 CSC now without problems.

yes, tested by me, downgrade is safe because bootloader binary is the same

Thanks!

@Pet1981 hey there? did you try to flash the marshmallow CSC? I'm thinking of doing so since Samsung Pay has been rolled out in my home country but I'm currently in Switzerland, using the BTU nougat update

Yep! Works without problems

Tried the MM csc for T-Mobile Germany (DTM) in Renovate 7.1.0 (Nougat) and it doesn't work properly, needed to switch back to the german unbranded csc (DBT)

Keeping OTA updates after STOCK ROM update via ODIN

Hi all, I've had a look and can't seem to find anything on the forums, but if you can point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated!
I've been flashing for years but never really been in this situation, as this is the first phone I've not rooted.
So here it is:
I've a completely stock, never-rooted S7 Edge on the XEU CSC.
I'm not getting the latest update and I'd like to have it, I'm stuck on Beta 5 (I was a part of the Beta Program).
I'd like to flash the latest availiable 7.0 firmware in ODIN.
My question is:
Would I still get OTA updates AFTER I've flashed the firmware in ODIN considering my phone is COMPLETELY STOCK and has NEVER been rooted?
Thank you very much!
P.S Sorry again if I've missed something in the forums, I tried searching and couldn't find an answer.
Thank you!

Stock roms get OTA updates. Only rooting breaks that.

Yes you would continue to get OTA when flashing update via Odin.

You will get OTA updates on the XEU timeline. Your CSC is XEU and it will stay XEU if you flash Official Nougat. Hence, if BTU then get updated in the future, you will have to wait until it is released for XEU

So as long as I update to an XEU firmware I'd still get the updates? But not if I update to a BTU one?
Just clarifying.
Also, thank you for the speedy reply!

Hello,
I have a brand new S7 Edge, non-rooted. I would like to have the official Nougat, but the update by OTA ist still not available for my device. I would try it with Odin, but where can I get the official firmware (german, non-branding device (DBT?))?
Thanks for your help

So you must wait until it´s released.......or you can flash via odin the BTU(OXA) Nougat or the (german)Vodafone VD2.(if you flash the BTU(OXA_MultiCSC), you will get the active DBT CSC)(but flash the normal CSC not Home_CSC)

When you flash official Nougat, you are flashing OXA CSC. This CSC is a "multi" CSC which contains multiple CSC. This OXA CSC actually contains BTU, XEU, NEE, DBT and a few more.
If you flash a multi CSC and you are already on one of the contained CSC (So in your case, you are on XEU CSC and flashing a "multi" CSC that also contains XEU) then your CSC will not change, your phone will see that you are coming from XEU CSC and so it will pick that CSC when you flash the multi CSC.
You won't actually have BTU CSC, which means you will only receive updates when XEU CSC receives them. BTU normally receives updates before XEU so most people like to change to BTU. It isn't a must though.
So to clarify, if you flash official Nougat, you will get OTA updates when XEU CSC users receive it. If you want to CHANGE your CSC to BTU then that involves multiple flashes.

Hey,
My phone was on the XEU csc code and not getting the nougat update either. I am not rooted either. I wanted to update to nougat. So I went to sammobile and downloaded the BTU firmware. I downloaded the newest lollipop version so as to make it update to nougat ota. When flashing I read some where that to keep ota functionality not to flash csc home in odin but just the normal csc file that is inter zip folder along with the other files. Once flashed and phone had been setup, I went to settings and about phone and checked for updates, my phone then proceeded to update to nougat sucesfully.

Your welcome, just to let you know, I should of said this will completely wipe your device so do a backup of your photos and things on your phone memory and just take your sd card out to be safe.

I've applied the late January 2017 BTU update via Odin and used the regular CSC file (not home CSC) which wiped everything out and all is working well - but I would have expected the latest BTU update to have been applied OTA and it hasn't shown as available. My CSC is still showing up as XEU on the phone too which I guess is the cause for this? Did I do something wrong when applying the BTU update?

So I have the XEU and I'm prepared to flash twice in order to change the CSC. Which firmware should I first flash in order to keep the BTU CSC when I flash that secondly?

You flash anything that is not a part of the OXA CSC
After that, if you flash OXA you will be BTU
