Hey guys
Im new to the galaxy s3 and samsung, I recently got my GS3 from newegg, unlocked international version.... I was wondering how to know which region the phone was from? I tried googling but i cant seem to find the answer. I came from an SE Arc S, SE had SI numbers so I could tell, but what does samsung use?
Also, there is no update for the latest LFB firmware yet... Does Samsung rollout firmwares for different regions in stages like SE? I'd like to keep everything stock..
When I press *#1234#, I get the following:
ap: i9300ubalf3
cp: i9300ublf2
csc: i9300uubalf3
Thanks
My understanding is that yours is Trinidad and Tobago.
Search for i9300uubalf3 on google and hit the sammobile result.
I think you can follow @SGS3Update on twitter to see if yours got the update, though I'm not sure how reliable this it. Technically, Kies should offer the update as soon as Samsung makes it avail.
What I still don't quite get is the role of CSC. More importantly, can we flash it independently of the firmware? And if so, which CSC canadian and US users should be flashing?

CSC can be flashed as a separate item .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
Says
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.
CSC not required for phone to work .

Thanks,
Since there is no CSC for Canada or USA, I take it that there is no point in changing it (except for maybe getting faster official updates?)
As far as MMS and Data, in Canada and USA, we'll need modify APN separately since there is no CSC?

Hi, I also have the same CSC as the original poster, Located in Trinidad. Do you know which csc receives the updates as they are released? I want to flash mine to whatever it is.
I had the same *#1234# as OP. I flashed every modem found on the thread here and signal quality results weren't any better. Checked for updates and got nothing. I noticed that most talk about XXBLFB (UTB) UK, so I chose to flash that firmware. Just to be in the same playing field. I am using my phone in the Miami, FL USA area.

Flashed the UK latest firmware, UK CSC and it works fine with Rogers here. The rogers APNs are automatically in the APN list, I guess they get that from the sim?
Hi,
I recently bought a Galaxy S9+ from Dubai and my CSC is XSG.
I'm looking to change the CSC to ZTO once I'm living in Brazil.
I've read many threads here but I couldn't get a conclusive answer, is it possible to change the CSC on Galaxy S9?
Thanks.

You should have exynos so yes.
Just flash the exynos firmware you want which will give you the desired csc.
Or as an alternative flash a rom which allows you to pick the csc during install

Just flashing a new firmware will not Trip Knox, right?
Do you have any firmware recommendations for me to use?

Flashing stock firmware in odin will not trip knox.
Go to sammobile.com and put in your model number and all the available firmwares will pop out, find one from Brazil.

You'll be stuck on XSG and will get OTA updates for that.
ZTO is no longer a valid CSC for Exynos models, since in Latin America, Samsung decided to launch the 'SM-G9650' Snapdragon 845 model instead.
like exchanging csc galaxy s9 exynos. Dude I'm having the same problem here my G965f Singapore XSP I live in Brazil I can not get the right carrier version just OXM _XSP.

If you flash the CSC then yes of course it will change lol.
Then you will get OTAs for that particular CSC.
Just make sure you dont try flashing firmware for a snapdragon if you have exynos or vice versa

Hi everyone i have a question. I am from Bangladesh. I am using galaxy s9(SM-G960F). I SEARCHED in sam mobile for the latest firmware for my region which is BNG and found only 2 firmware both of which are from March 18. So i flashed the BRF8 june patch version from German DBT REGION using odin. Still my active csc remains BNG. Now my question is will i recieve future ota updates as usual? If not what should be my next course of action? Thanks in advance.
Will this work for snapdragon variants?

I did like u and didn't change my csc.:crying: @force70
Did u try it!
I did it 3 times and didn't work
View attachment 4644987
Any idea about this
hello if you want to change csc you should flash it by odin and then formate the phone to change it , if only flash csc file it will not change
To change the csc do you need to only flash csc or do you need to flash everything?
Since the 9650 and 965u are practically the same phone just one was shipped to Latin America while other one is international could I flash the 965u on my 9650 to enable Samsung pay / change csc?

Hey,
I have a 965N - meaning s9+ from Korea. I got it there, but know I want to flash a German / European version but CSC needs to be changed because of partition size.
Do I just need to change CSC and partition size will change ?

I don't think so.
I just got a Samsung Galaxy S9+, International Version, that'll be use here in the US 99% of the time.
Apparently, it has a United Arab Emirate CSC. Because of this, I can only install and use the UAE version of Samsung Pay app. The UAE Samsung Pay app only accept VISA card payments. Not AmEx card, which I have one. I don't really care about Samsung Pay, because I don't use it much. I can fix the issue by flashing it to use an EU country CSC. I don't want to bother flashing my S9+ just to change the CSC, because it might erase everything on the phone which I already had set up and ready to use.
Will the UAE CSC cause any problem on the S9+ here in the US?
Should I change the CSC?
I think you should flash that for better network connectivity & software update

You can create a full backup of your device using smart switch and restore it after flashing the new firmware. If you want a European CSC, the best one would be DBT (Germany), as that's the one that receives updates the fastest. Btw., what's the current CSC? XSG or LYS?
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!
UNder service provider software i get DTM/DTM,DTM/EUX/DTM. So I'm guessing thats germany.

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.

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
I want to change the CSC of my S22+ from XAA to INS. Is there any way without rooting?
Hi there, I wish to change the region of my S22+. Unfortunately I've bought a Korean region version and wanted to flash a European Region firmware. Can someone please explain to me how I can do that (if it is possible ofc). Right now my phone is in stock condition (no BL unlocked, no Root).

You dont have to change the CSC, just flash an unbranded EUX rom.
DTM is, where the phone was activated, if i remember it right.
If i flash a orignal EUX Firmware.
I still have waranty and the status is official ?
Should i go with Odin ?

Use this tool to get your phone's supported CSC list (under ADB commands tab). Then in the main tab you can change your CSC.
Takes seconds, for me no data was wiped and OTAs work perfectly. Changed on both my S22+ and my Tab S8+.
Is your phone SM-906U1 ?
From which csc to which csc did you change?

I bought my phone in Vietnam, but live in Israel and preferred to have my local CSC. I don't know if I could use VoLTE or WiFi Calling without changing it.
And yes OEM Unlock is an option for me under Developer Options.
Since different people are asking different questions, let me post what I know and can help you.
1. You are trying to change CSC from A to B which belongs to same model, can be easily done using SamFW tool or you can also try Samsung shell exploit from S22 forums.
2. U to U1 can be cross flashed using patched odin, which will change csc too.
3. If you are trying to do cross flashing means your model no doesn't match the model no of CSC you want to have like XAA to INS then sorry it's not possible.
