SM-T860x LDU to T860 - Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers

I purchased this from a local weekly auction and was curious if I can flash with current T860 XAR with Odin or need to use combo f/w to change CSC. Anyone tried this? Just want to avoid a brick. Right now, latest auto update is from last year.
Thanks!

So an update...
I decided to try flashing same firmware rev with DBT CSC (unit was PAP-European Countries). Using Oden and non-home CSC for reset, it worked. LDU splash is gone, full charging and security settings returned. Flashed with XAR CSC to current and all is good.
Cheers!

Hey I have the same device (PAP).
Did you use the SM-T860X or the SM-T860 Firmware? Do you think flashing with DBT will work with my european PAP device or do I have to use another code?
Thank Mate!

Used firmware from samfw.com, SM-T860_SER_T860XXU1ASH4. Installed AP, BL, CSC (not HOME). Everything is OK, now it is SM-T860 tab: full charge, security, updates etc.

[Q] Ok I am confused

I have rooted my phone then flashed the firmware with XEU (Generic UK+Europe) : http://www.multiupload.com/ZZYM5ZAFA0
From my understanding i can change the csc from tmu to xeu.This i am unable to do,also when i plug phone into kies ,I get the message this version cannot be updated.
What is going on? i have read posts that the above can be done?
Can someone please advise me?
update to this, when i do *#272 to change the csc i am unable, just one choice, of tmu.However *#1234# i have csc i9100xeukd1.
What about kies not giving updates ? I wish i left it as it was .
In recovery mode i see cant access to system csc tmu system
Successfully applied multi csc , What does this mean ?
version is a frankenstein version with several different files used not stock, which means that kies will not recognize it.
to change csc do the following type in the following code *#272*your IMEI# in phone dialer and the pick the csc you want.
where can i find a proper rom that will upgrade on kies??
also i have tried to change the csc, it does not work as i already stated.

Look for intratechs original firmware thread in original development section.
Download the latest carrier specific firmware for your carrier and flash via Odin. Should have one for yours with the correct csc.
Probably will need to clear caches etc when downgrading.

Does this mean that i will forever be stuck with Tmu in the csc?
I dont really want to go back or downgrade its my phone on pay as you go.
Edit: you will only be able to upgrade with kies if you flash your regions stock firmware like I said before.
You have other options to update though.
Odin
Checkfus
CWM for Custom firmware.
Can download any csc and flash via Odin or use multi csc and set it like the previous post.

Maybe i have read to much into flashing/rooting and confused myself
I was under the impression that even if the phone was upgraded via oden that kies would still possibly give an, this is the most up to date firmware. and not what i see that is this version cannot be updated.
I took the firmware that gave or so i think csc for xeu ,but phone still gives csc as tmu with *#272 imei on dail pad.
I have cym and superuser on phone , but have no idea how to use it
I did a factory reset plugged into kies , and now have an update...

[Q] Unable to choose a new CSC?

Hi,
Maybe a bad mistake, but just bought a S2 on ebay. It has/had a CSC which I didnt recognise and wanted to debrand it. All ok so far, can flash via Odin a debranded firmware.
However, when trying 272 and imei to change the CSC code, none are listed. I've tried installing a multi and XEU CSC via Odin and I notice the error unable to access CSC area, but then states CSC update applied.
When I then go through KIES it changes my CSC from KD1 to KH2 (the original). I've no idea what the KH2 CSC is, from what I've seen KD1 seems to be the norm?
Thanks for any help.

CSC is country specific .
CSC is rarely updated a KI firmware may have a much older CSC .
You do not actually need a CSC for the phone to work set APN network manually .

The problem is that for this CSC the latest update through KIES is 2.3.4. I'd like to go up from here, but believe I need to get my CSC to a non-brand one. Any ideas?

REPEAT
CSC has nothing to do with updates via KIES .
Its product codes etc that determine if their is a matching firmware and not CSC .
You have changed something and codes don't match firmware .
I dont understand where you are going Odin Kies . If you want to update you have two routes one official Samsung update supplied by the phones vendor to KIES server if the vendor has updated ..
Or flash Samsung stock rom via ODIN .
jje
The idea was to use Odin to get a non-branded firmware and then use KIES from there on in, or OTA. Used this method with the i9000 without problem. I notice the OTA works fine but seems to stop me at 2.3.4 even though its a standard non-branded product code I believe. Is this normal?

Was sort of hoping to use the OTA updates as don't always have access to a PC. Any idea how to turn Test Mode off on the S2? Wondered if this was causing an issue?

ODIN flash XEU csc

Hi,
I have an S6E XSG csc device and I was wondering if it's worth the effort to download the latest update for the XEU and flash it via Odin. Would there be successful flash? Would it change the product code of my device to XEU? Is it advisable?
Please help me

Yes there will be a successful flash so long as you have the usb drivers, the latest odin, and flashing through download mode.

Hello
To answer your first question on whether is it worth it, that entirely depends on you, there aren't a lot of new features I think, so it would also depend on which firmware you running
Yes it should be a successful flash, mine was XFV(South Africa) and I got impatient with them taking forever to publish the update, so I downloaded the XSG one, only to realize in a few weeks that they released a better firmware for XFV, so I immediately flashed XFV, then I realized it later when I checked that my product code was changed to XSG, So being kinda worried, I decided to flash the XFV firmware again, that didn't change it so, I decided to factory reset the device, and boot to recovery after setup and it seems like it was then when it changed my CSC back to XFV... So basically, I think it will change your product code, It seems like to change your CSC you just have to boot to recovery.
Hey thanks for the comments. Just wanted to check how you changed the csc via recovery? Is it the normal stock recovery or something else?
Just another quick one...did flashing the XEU software corrupt the IMEI? I'm looking at some links that this could happen...please let me know...basically, by flashing an XEU firmware your phone was still in perfect condition yes!?

Hello
By recovery I mean normal recovery, as soon as I booted to recovery the was a message at the bottom that said something like "CSC applied", I didn't have to do anything special, though I also cleared cache after that to avoid conflicts if there could be any, and My IMEI never got damaged, though I never flashed XEU, but I flashed XSG then went back to XFV and nothing bad happened, so I believe it shouldn't damage anything

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 everything it boots back into the Verizon firmware. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong that would cause this? I've probably flashed this thing 20 times at this point.
its a verizon tablet so thats normal.. u need to change csc is all
Thought that was part of flashing it with the patched version of Odin with a different CSC version of the firmware, but I've not done this before. Any suggestions or resources you can point to on how to do this? Thanks!

patched odin only removes hash checks.. all the firmware has multi csc (all the usa csc) so simply flashing firmware doesnt change csc
Gotcha, so change the CSC first, then flash the matching firmware? What's the best method for changing the CSC on the S7+? This process? https://www.**********.com/how-to-change-csc-in-samsung-galaxy-phones/
Any suggestions on how to change the CSC? I've hit a wall and haven't been able to find a way to change it and then flash the desired firmware.

You need to flash with odin, wipe, then pop the other carrier sim in, on reboot it will boot with that carrier sw.

Ok, so SIM out, Odin flash with the TMB firmware. Then, what do you mean "wipe?" Is that just choosing the CSC file in Odin so that it resets all data, or some step after to wipe it?
So I tried again with these steps and had the same result, back into the Verizon firmware.
Removed Tmobile Sim
Odin flash TMB firmware
Tablet reboots automatically into VZW firmware
Then booted into recovery mode and performed a factory reset and cache wipe
Reinserted Sim and reboot
Tablet still boots into VZW firmware
I also tried this same process but with the unlocked "USC" firmware with the same results.
Am I supposed to somehow prevent the first boot after odin flash to perform the factory reset? I've tried that unsuccessfully but maybe I have the timing off or something.

dunno wat ur flashing but all the firmware is the same.. theyre all multi csc.. so simply flashing different firmwares wont change csc lol
I don't know if this will help but on some samsung phones you can change the csc by opening the dailer and typing "*#272*IMEI number#"
edit: IMEI must me copied from the about tablet section in the settings. Press on the IMEI for a second and it will be copied to clipboard. Typing the IMEI will not likely not work.
After entering this in the dailer a menu pops up and you can select csc. Note this will usually factory reset the device.
Yes if you try this, please let me know if it works. I have the T878u 5g from Tmobile.
Any update on this? I purchased an SM-T978U (on Samsung website that is t-mobile S7+)
I expected it to not be carrier or network locked but it was locked to the t-mobile network.
Would love to flash an unlocked firmware but I can't find SM-T978U firmware, let alone U1 firmware...... I realize that flashing U1 firmware won't unlock the network but T-mobile support tells me the device can't possibly be truly carrier locked because the IMEI isn't even in their system. So I thought maybe the carrier lock is in their app tied to the system instead of the actual device??
Anyway has anyone found the firmware for these devices? Sammobile doesn't seem to list SM-T978 as a device
These devices don't have a dialer so entering the IMEI method mentioned above won't work unless there is a trick?
Guys, for cross flashing, you must factory reset from within the OS before you flash. the newer security measures will not allow the device to accept even a full flash if the device is activation locked to an account. that is likely why you are flashing and still getting the vzw stuff to come up.
@elliwigy , though the devices are all loaded with multiple csc's, and you can change them on demand (if you know how), that will not automatically load the carrier branded bloatware that comes with each firmware, and certain settings that may, or may not, be enabled or disabled by the carrier. An example being native video calling that the verizon firmware has and the unlocked firmware does not.
I almost always flash my Verizon devices with the U1 XAA unlocked software. Among other things, this lets me get security patches faster, as i get them when sammy releases them, not when vzw gets around to it. I say almost always because there are still a few devices, like my tab s6, that are vzw models with some minor hardware changes that prevent it. But in the case of my Tab S7+ and my Note20Ultra, they are both rocking U1 XAA firmware.

Where is this U1 XAA firmware to download? Specifically for the SM-T978U?
RE: jmwfl2000 -I always untick the "Auto-Reboot" box when flashing new TWRP images to prevent stock recovery from being reapplied.After the first boot all should be well.

I'm pretty stumped like OP. Where are you finding U1 XAA for Tab S7+? Doesn't seem to turn up anywhere. Would definitely appreciate it if you could provide a link. Thanks.
I tried resetting before flashing and unchecked the auto-reboot but mine still returns to Tmobile. I just want the call and text on other devices feature.
Edit: I go the feature to work without flashing a new firmware but I am still looking for U1 XAA for the tab if anyone found it.

I bought an unlocked Verizon Tab S7, probably same seller. Its brand new, stil has plastic on it. Are you wanting to unlock Tmobile 5G bands?

S6 Edge Baseband And Build number do not match

Hi Guys so i recently bought an s6 edge which turns out has had twrp installed onto it, im trying to get rid of this but i need the stock rom correct??
If so here's my issue, the phone is now unlocked, I believe it was locked to ee previously as a reset installs the my ee app bk on to the phone, and also lockout splash screen says in association with ee, So Do i need the btu version??, Even so when searching sammobile i get the following G925FXXS6ETI6 WHICH DOES MATCH THE BUILD NUMBER, However the baseband Code on my phone G925FXXU6ERF6, which of these numbers do i need for the correct rom?

G925FEVR6ETK1 (CSC, DOES NOT MATCH PHONE)
IM NOT EVEN SURE IF THE PHONE IS ROOTED, AN APP REPORTS IT IS NOT ROOTED CORRECTLY, THE PHONE HAS TWRP ON IT WHEN GOING TO RECOVERY OPTIONS
Correct me if I'm wrong, but since you've got twrp installed, you can create yourself a backup. I'm not sure if installing some random firmware from sammobile could be reverted using such a twrp backup but maybe it's worth a try?
It's been a while since the post has been posted, but any answer is better than no answers. You may let us know if you have already got rid of twrp
