You can't create it. Where did you download from?
I've never seen a firmware the didn't have HOME_CSC (which isn't to say there aren't any, just I've not seen any).

It is test firmware:
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/XEO/SM-G965F/version.test.xml
So there's no way to generate HOME_CSC ?

Interesting. Maybe test firmwares don't contain HOME_CSC?
There is no way that I am aware of to create one from the other components of a firmware.

What's HOME_CSC for? Sometimes it comes, but never used it. I only flash CSC file

I've seen some of the 965U that didn't come with a home CSC, just a normal one. They eventually do come out though typically.

Home CSC retains data. Normal CSC will wipe your device.

NP. If you're in a rush to flash and cant find a home CSC, you can leave the CSC empty. I've done that to avoid wiping. It may break OTA's in the future though. I stopped getting OTA's at one point. Not sure if it was related or not.

So if I flashed Verizon firmware into my ATT S10 with the CSC file will I still be able to use it on ATT. ATT gave me the unlock code, so its Unlocked.

[Q] Is the emmc problem?

i received a S3, never saw him turned on
on recovery i got this:

on download mode i got this:
I had a s3 which had emmc problems, not too sure but as long as you have product name and access to recovery and download mode you can try and flash the firmware again using odin. I am not sure as mine had no recovery mode at all.... somone with more knowledge may wish to clear things up for both of us. You can find some guide on how to flash to stock and flash stock firmware.

Method to get Andorid 10 on your Note 10 Exynos now!

Hi,
This is one of my first posts so please bare with me. You will need to download a few programs to get this working.
The first is frija. LINK - https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4886005&d=1574653611
Above app is not mine all credit to the dev in the link.
Secondly you will need Odin I'm sure you can all source this yourselves.
After downloading and installing frija, open the programme and search for SM-N970F CSC code DBT
Continue to download the firmware and then flash with odin.
Simple method if you cant wait for it to be rolled out in your country.
I am not responsible for your data or devices, follow the steps at your own risk.
This should work for note 10 plus also, just change the model number and keep the csc as DBT
can i keep home csc ?
Not Sure

I did a clean install, in odin i selected wipe in options so formatted all and it installed perfectly. Perhaps use smart switch to backup all your data and then flash if you still have this option available to you.
Thanks... unfortunelly the download of the file from Server is not working...too slow (

What model phone are you using and what network CSC are you going from and to? I went from UK unlocked direct Samsung handset BTU to Germany DBT model SM-N970F. Worked without issue. If you give more details maybe myself or someone else will have the answer.
Odin files version 3.13

Don't work for my Note 10 + 5G SM-T976B only Pie shows up latest firmware! That Sucks....
AP : N975FXXS1ASKB
CP : N975FXXU1ASJ4
CSC : N975FOXM1ASJC
Model :SM-N975F/DS Version
I downloaded matching Odin n975f dbt files, my CSC is See ( south east Europe)
Can confirm this worked for me without wiping (Using home_csc). I had the first beta installed before (through update.zip).
Thanks!
I have OTA with Android 10
Hi , if i flash my note 10 with DBT csc code it will be any problem using my phone i UK
My csc code is o2u,xec
I did it, works very well, tnx! I used Android 10 SER(EU, Russian, all lang included, all CSC included), downloaded with SamFirm app, with Odin 3.14.1 using CSC(not Home CSC). Before all, i backed-up all my stuff with Smart Switch to PC. My SIM was in phone(if it does any differences at all)...
P.S Exynos Note 10 plus is in case....
P.S 2 Android 9 aka PIE was before that....

Can You Flash T-Mobile Firmware On An AT&T Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 SM-T878U

I bought an unlocked SM-T878U for AT&T and since the tablet for T-Mobil has the same model number for either provider, can I Flash the firmware for the T-Mobile Tab S7 onto my tablet without any problems? Sorry if this has been asked I searched around for over an hour and didn't find the info I wanted.
Edit: this is the 5G version not the LTE but both are 5G
Thanks
Yes... you can flash firmware from the same model.
T-Mobile and AT&T should be using the same firmware (T878USQU1BUAC).
Your SIM card and device CSC determines what carrier specific apps and features to load.
Thanks for the info mine is using a different version then the one you listed I just don't want to brick a tablet I just paid 500 for...

ATK1 is an older version. Just make sure whatever version you flash is for the same model number. T878U.
It will install without issue... make sure to flash HOME_CSC to keep all of your data, apps, and settings.
Thank you for the info and I didn't know that home CSC would keep all my data... Thank you.

You're welcome.
The rule applies to all Samsung firmware.
Flash CSC_OMC to do a clean install.
Flash Home_CSC to keep your stuff.
That did not work I downloaded the firmware and flashed it and now it just goes to recovery mode and won't even boot up anymore figures this would happen, just the way this year has been going, you have a place I could download a good firmware to just completely nuke it and go back to stock? It was stock before I mean I just tried to put the T-Mobile Version on.
From this site, https://galaxyfirmware.com/model/SM-T878U and I used this build number T878USQU1BUAC
Edit: Edit it did end up finally booting up after doing the app repair function in the recovery and also a factory data reset but still says AT&T only thing that has changed is I now have android 11 lol
I just want to get all the att stuff out so I can use the t-mobile texting and whatnot I can't use that now because of the att junk.
It is like a VIRUS infesting it.
Again thank you for all the help.

Looks like you'll have to manually change you CSC.
This post has some advice on how to get this done.
SM-T978U Odin Firmware Flash
Purchased a sim unlocked SM-T978U (Verizon Tab S7+ 5G) and am trying to flash the unlocked or Tmobile stock firmware to it. I've gotten "passed" flashes everything when flashing all of the files from the corresponding stock firmwares, but...
forum.xda-developers.com
Also make sure you are using a patched version of Odin when flashing packages... I assumed you know that, but in case not, here is a link to download it... https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903995077
From all the digging I did. It is not possible as you have to unlock the bootloader to change the CSC. And well I spent over 3 days on this crap to no avail. I just sold my ATT model and bought the tmobile version. So ridiculous that Samsung does not just sell an unlocked version to avoid this hassle. Very annoying.

Debranding Samsung Galaxy s21 - android 11 - possible?

Hi
Is there any effective method for debranding Galaxy S21 with android 11?
I have CSC from Play (Polish operator) and I would like to upload XEO. I tried odin and samkey and despite the "positive" completion of the operation (both applications say so), the Play brand is still on the phone.
thanks

1. How can I check if I have "an unlocked exynos variant"?
2. I don't really care about call recording, but rather about removing operator branding. Is it possible?

Hi
If you have a G991B it should be possible to flash any (exynos) rom , even if the phone is carrier lock .
How did you do it ( the flashing), what files did you use , home_csc or csc?

Hi there. Yes its samkey from their website.Off course drivers in. Device S21 5G. Regards
Try registering for their forums, and then post a question in the "discussion & questions" forum.

How to make sure I have the latest modem and bootloader installed?

I am currently running:
Build: ALEXNDR.N960FXXU6FTJ5
Baseband version: N960FXXU6FTJ1
>MAKE SURE YOU HAVE LATEST MODEM AND BOOTLOADER INSTALLED!
Getting ready to flash a new rom, but I haven't done this for a while.
1) How do I check what modem version I have?
Based on the I *think* the modem is "FTJ1", but I'm not 100% sure.
2) How do I find out if there is a newer modem available?
3) What Bootloader version do I have? Is it "6" (the 5th character from the right in the Baseband version)?
Download the latest firmware from samfw.com. Since that website source builds official Samsung servers, the latest firmware there should be always the latest.
Thank you, @Cyndaquissshhh . Just to confirm, it doesn't matter that, in the past, I had flashed an unofficial ROM to my Note 9?

Yes, no problems. I have done this a few times before.
@Cyndaquissshhh what's the trick to downloading the firmware? I click it and it won't download...
Oh, there are three buttons (on some pages there will be four). You can either download it from Google Drive or "Download SamFW server". I don't recommend "download on browser" since the downloaded file would get stored as site data. As you can imagine that's not a good thing...
I find their site to be very confusing. Thank you for your help, @Cyndaquissshhh . I finally ended up download a file named "Samfw.com_SM-N960F_INS_N960FXXU9FUK1_fac.zip".
Can you (or anyone) verify that I have the correct file?
(Last time I tried something like this I soft-bricked my phone... thanks.)

Is there a step-by-step showing how to update this file? I believe I can either use Odin or TWRP...?

If there's 4 tars in it, choose what it says. Like if it says AP, then choose the AP in Odin (you'll have to use ODIN ofc)
I don't know how it goes for newer devices but I had to always choose only a single file and then flash..
@notnoelchannel the .zip file has 5 files that all match up as you said (AP, BL, CP, and CSC) but the 5th file starts off with "HOME_". Does that go in the "USERDATA" box in Odin?

Don't use the HOME_CSC (i guess)
You need only 4 files, try flashing the 4 files but don't put the "HOME_" one
But as I said I don't own a Note 9, so I recommend to ask someone else :/
But if you choose all the files, it will flash the whole stock rom back!!!so don't!!! only BL and CP as Painkiller-axel said
Thank you. I have other questions regarding the flashing process but I think I will start another thread so this one doesn't get too confusing for people to read.
