hi. my friend bought a galaxy s3 from europe but i think what he got is carrier specific. its sales code is VOD so i think it is a Vodafone carrier specific phone. you can check the details in the image attached.
now we are planning to change the sales code (or CSC?) from VOD to XTC since we are from philippines.
we tried to flash a firmware for philippine region into his s3, we used the firmware I9300XXBLH1.
after that, upon checking CSC through *#272*imei#* we have found out that its sales code is still VOD and theres no available CSC to choose. ( we hoped the sales code would be XTC after flashing the firmware from philippines)
unfortunately, kies did not recognized his phone and the messaging service is not responding, so we flashed back again the original firmware (I9300BUBLG3).
is there still a way for it to be an XTC? we want it to be I9300XXBLH1
thanks for the help.

To give you a quick background, I have an unlocked i9300 that I use in the US. The current CSC code is VD2, which I believe is Vodafone Germany.
I would like to update my CSC number to an unbranded variant for the following reasons:
- Don't have to deal with carrier branding (nothing works anyway when I try to access from US)
- I can get the latest FW/Modems/Kernel without waiting for carrier to catch up
- Want to avoid using ODIN / bricking phone / loosing IMEI number
From what I've read so far, CSC code BTU is UK Unbranded and seems to get the latest updates like the LH1 modem, but when I run the *#272*IMEI_num# code, BTU is not one of the options that shows up. Neither does KOR and XEU. (I guess this only applies to the S2?)
So I would like to know...
1. What is the "best" CSC for unbranded firmware that will receive updates quickly
2. Is my concept correct to just update CSC and then I can use KIES to update my phone to the latest available Modem/FW/Kernel for that CSC.
3. I don't have to worry about loosing unlock on my phone.
Thank you!
In an attempt to get Android M on my unbranded Romanian G925F I flashed a 5.1.1 BTU firmware with Odin. While everything went smooth with flashing I noticed my mobile data doesn't work any longer. I get the 4G icon but have no internet access. Wi-Fi works. Beta for Android M is closed so I'd rather return to my previous original firmware.
Out of sheer ignorance I didn't write down the original product code... how should I go about restoring my phone to it's original factory shipped firmware which worked without issues?
Please point me in the right direction, I tried downloading some Romanian firmwares from sammobile but after flashing through Odin my product code is still BTU and mobile data still doesn't work.
Thanks
if you use samsung smartswitch (latest version of kies) it automatic return to 5.1.1.............sorry now i know what you mean look here............http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G925F/
Your initial product code should be ORO

Isn't ORO for Orange branded? I tried Kies 3, entered my phone model, then it asked for a serial number and it downloaded a firmware which proved to be a german DBT one. Mobile data still doesn't work so I will have to try something different.
What if I go to a mobile phone shop, ask to look at an Edge similar to mine and get it's product code and serial number? By providing those to Kies will it enable me to get the same firmware as the one running on the shop phone?

Sorry, my fault, I missed the part when you said it's unbranded. Indeed ORO is for Orange branded phones, yours should be different and based on my searches should be ROM

so you need this and countrycode is ROM....
Hi all,
Tab S6 in my country is only limited to 128gb version, while I heavily rely on Lightroom mobile and sometimes need a lot of space for my raw files. This made me buy 256gb variant abroad.
My country code is XEO (Poland) and my device was bought in Germany (DBT). Is there an option to change CSC (including paid programs) to do this?
Of course I have tried Odin and XEO firmware, but it turns out that it's multi-csc and always sticks to original DBT. I have also tried *#272# code and flashing with SIM card in and out, but CSC always stays DBT.
Any of you had any luck?
Anyone out there? I am interested in this as well - I have the international version and am in the US on TMB but have a CSC indicates I am in Poland. I worry that I am not getting timely updates - I hear than TMB has updated to the Feb security patch and I'm still rocking the Dec '19 patch.
Same thing here as well. Got a T-865 XEF but I need DBT
The only effective method seems to use https://www.samkey.org/ through credits (for the TM-865 it asks for 6 credits (which for a single use it is better to buy on a site like ebay) then they send you login ( with the 6 credits) and if it allows, the change of CsC "THAT IS IN THE MULTIROM" is better before making sure with the Apk of Info SAM * INFO to see that CsC HAS the Rom installed, if the CsC of our choice is in The device, without problems, but if it is not available, it will not be possible unless before uploading the Rom + CsC to change.
After several attempts, and tutorials to change XEF / Fracia DBT / Germany, it seems the only method that works
It is necessary to respect the binary, to the case, the Hardware Asia, Europe, America, and not to put the Firmware of a container in another (it will not work) the ROMs of the Global version, EU in the EU and those of the USA in the USA and the from Asia to Asia
tool and "1 credit" even if I bought 6 as the official support page indicated to me when consulting about the SM-T865 LTE device
Original from France XEF it was impossible to change the Region Code for another of my interest DBT German because it is updated more frequently than the rest of the EU Global zone
PHE and XEF from Spain and France follow at the end of October 2020 with May patch while German DBT was updated twice in September 2020
The process turns out to be easier than usual
No need to even format the device in operation
Only with Phone * info you have to see the CSC available in the Rom available on the device and if the one of our choice DBT is already there in my case you can start
If the CSC is not present, it is when it will be necessary to Flashar before with a compatible Rom equal or higher in Binary and that contains the CSC to finally change
In Windows, which is where the SamKey software runs, you have to change the local language to US English unicode (it does not affect the local language of our pc
The code operation lasts only 4 or 5 minutes and as I say it does not erase anything from the device
Finally we have a CSC DBT / DBT / SIM1
The active CSC is the one that receives the HOTA from now on and from that moment receives update from Germany
Today it is the only reliable and efficient way
Hi!
I got a Samsung S21, model nr SMG991B/DS. Which seems like the international version. But my software version has DTM in it (according to samsung support, this is the german version).
So because I have the german version I can't use Samsung pay properly its looked to the german region. So I would like to flash it so it changes to Nordics region.
Is this possible if so how or is there any other way to change the region for samsung pay?
The phone is not locked to a carrier.

Hi mate
Yes there are ways , check my post here
For Samsung Pay to work the phone CSC and the Samsung pay account must be from the same country , in your case if phone region (CSC) if from Germany but your Samsung Pay account if from somewhere else it will not work ...
So first thing you should do is check your phone CSC go to Settings /About phone / Service Information .. there check under service provider software , you will see the CSC information in your case in this format XXX/ ZZZ,ZZZ/ YYY
XXX will be you active CSC, this is the one you need to change to the right country
ZZZ are sim related, with dual sim you got 2 sets
YYY can't be changed is the region where to the phone was manufactured for , not important , it has no effect

Hi
DTM is Dutch T-Mobile (Germany) .
You need it to change to your Country / Samsung Pay account to make it work
Is not that much the rom but the CSC , you may need to flash a new rom if your desire CSC is not installed in your current rom...
How do I find out if the CSC is in my current rom? I need the swedish CSC.

That is tricky but , is probable that your country CSC is there , most european countries are under the same rom...
This is the latest rom for Sweden

G991BXXU3AUE1 region is described as XXU and you said that your current rom is G991BXXU3AUF6 , also XXU... so i will say your country CSC should be there....
Worst case scenario... just flash the Swedish rom
Hi, I have a new A52s, I bought it off Amazon, and didn't realise it was a grey import. It works fine with my provider (iDMobile in the UK), apart from WiFi calling. iDMobile say the problem is because it's German firmware (DBT CSC), so I started reading up on how to change this. All of the tricks using the phone dialer codes no longer work, so I downloaded the UK Unbranded firmware (BTU CSC), and flashed with Odin. However my phone remains as DBT. I ran Phone Info, and that says that my current firmware is only DBT CSC, with no others available. I did read somewhere that you could get a CSC change if you repartitioned with Odin while flashing. Does anyone know if that's the case? Or are there other approaches that I need to use to change the CSC?
I'm afraid I don't have an answer but I have the same question.
Am looking to buy an A52S 5G primarily as it's supported by my carrier for Wifi calling but carrier price is extortionate.
Flashing carrier firmware worked before on an old S7 but I'm not sure about doing the same on an A52s 5G.
How did you get on OP ?
I'm in Australia with a Taiwan BRI csc a52s.
Wifi calling never worked on android 11, but now I've updated to android 12 and wifi calling is working with my australian telstra sim!
Hopefully this means wifi calling is no longer dependant on csc.
What happens when you flash different csc firmware with odin?
