Hello,
I have a S23 Ultra ( SM-S918U) - USA model with at&t boot logo and I'm using it in Romania, Europe. So far so good except a few settings specific (maybe) to usa firmware: the missing data icon on notification list, missing network mode ( I can't manually switch from 5g to 4g).
1. Can I flash an europe firmware from sammobile via odin (SM-S918B - I think) over the usa firmware ?
2. Will I lose e-sim doing the above ?
3. What are the disadvantages of doing the above ? I read somewhere about high battery consumption
Also, on Sammobile there is no RO firmware. What firmware should i pick ? This one ?

Absolutely not. If you try to flash the BL and CP files from a different device variant, you risk a permanent brick.

Since the phone would be bricked, yes

Again, you could brick your phone.
The best thing to do is use multi-CSC U1 firmware, such as OXM. This probably won't be necessary though as the US firmwares typically overlap with many other CSCs.
Flash S918U1 XAA CSC using patched odin. You can't flash S918B firmware on it, odin will fail right before it flashes anything. Use HOME_CSC to preserve data and eSIM.
Patched Odin 3.13.1
For those looking for a modified, modded, or patched odin that is a newer build than all the fake and renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around. I patch recent Odin versions to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy; in that...

Hi all. A quick question if I may. I have a US tablet S3 (T820). My understanding is that all the devices, irrespective of the region, in terms of hardware are the same this time (no difference in processors etc.). Therefore I assumed that I can apply any firmware for T820. I downloaded the last one T820XXU1AQF3 (for UK) and tried to apply it via Odin. It showed that it failed. Had to download QD6 for Canada, install the CSC and the the BL in order to be able to boot the device. Now the funny part is that it shows in the settings that I actually have the T820XXU1AQF3 installed (not sure how that happened since it FAILED).
Generally speaking, is it possible to install any firmware on a US device? Why did I have the fail ( I installed also the CSC and BL of the T820XXU1AQF3). Thanks in advance.

Hi Kyrillos,
I can confirm it works fine, I just got my Tab S3 (US 'XER' Version). I got the latest UK (BTU) firmware using SamFirm and then flashed it using the newest version of Odin. I flashed the BL, AP, and CSC (NOT HOME_CSC).
This also removed some of the US Bloatware that I didn't want.
Hope that helps

Thanks! I managed to update as well. It seems my odin version was the issue (although it was working just fine with my S7).
Does the UK (BTU) version have the battery drain bug?
All firmwares have the wifi battery drain bug, including the AQF5 for KOO (korea). May be it's a hardware problem?
Hi,
I'm able to flash the Canadian A52 5G SM-526W with the stock firmware successfully using Odin both the complete firmware and just the CSC.
I tried to flash with SM-A526B, SM-A525M, SM-A525F unsuccessfully, it fails every time for the complete firmware or just the CSC.
Can anyone direct me to which firmware I can flash to this phone to activate the built in call recorder?
Thanks!
Indian/INS firmware should likely have it, but don't flash A525 firmware on the A526, you'll have problems.
I did try flashing with the A525 firmware but it just fails.
How can I use the Indian/INS firmware to add call recording to my phone? I tried to use just the CSC file with Odin from A525 firmware and that failed too.
You could try using the XSG (United Emirates Arab) firmware. I have it on my J7 Pro and it has the call recording function, not sure if it is the same for the A52 5G.
I'd suggest you flash the original firmware that came with your device first, then only flashing the CSC from the XSG firmware to see if you get call recording.
And use Frija to get the firmware, just go into its settings and turn on "Binary Nature" option for it to download the 5 part firmware instead of the 1 part firmware.
Sorry my bad, I didn't know there was a SM-A526W for the Canadian market only. I was thinking that your's was a SM-A526B, which is the international version. I don't know if the A526W will accept the A526B firmware, it might work or it might brick your phone.
Thanks for the help, it wouldn't accept the CSC from the SM-A526B firmware or the entire firmware already tried that. Any other suggestion?
Then no, you're pretty much stuck. I don't know whether any of the other Canadian firmwares have call recording enabled.
None of the Canadian firmware's have call recording and I have tried a number of different CSC using the *#272*IMEI# method which are available in the firmware. Guess its a no go

W models can typically only flash W U and U1 firmware
It will only flash W firmware which I have done several times, but it will not flash U firmware or even U firmware CSC file

maybe if you posted the error you receive in patched odinas wellas the error it shows on device screen when it fails then we can help u
for example, if it gives a sha hash error or something its bcuz u arent using modified odin which is needed to flash u or u firmware to your w model and if it gives some error like sw rev check fail its because youre trying to downgrade and need a firmware with the same rev
Here are the pictures I blocked out the DID number
Was looking through the forums and would using a Thailand SIM change the CSC so I could have call recording?

Your SIM card does not set or change CSC.
I was reading this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/a52s-change-csc-by-factory-reseting-with-a-sim.4360199/
Could I try the same?
any ideas to change CSC with ADB
I would think. That if you loaded up recovery, and then switched to the side load mode.
That you would be able to flash an official stock CSC file from a different 4-File/5-File repair package of another build. As long as as that CSC File matched the BL's software revision fuse.
Generally speaking, Samsung Devices have been "World Modem" compatible since the Galaxy S7. So carrier firmware is interchangable on the same SoC.
And if flashing the CSC alone does not work Try using the UserData.img as well
If all else fails just install the U1 FW, or whole 5-File Repair package from another carrier that matches your device's BL Revision.
This hasn't failed since maybe 2015.

Can you give me your model number real quick to see if I can't find you a link?
This is what I found first off: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...sc-firmware-need-to-be-on-one-ui-2-5.4182989/
Not sure of it's usefulness on your device but sounds like it.
Otherwise. Find the U1/XAA fw for your BL Revision and flash it with Odin.
It should then be compatible with ALL CSC CODES.

Hi, I may be late here but if you still looking to change the CSC on your Samsung A52s or any other phone I will suggest you visit this link, you can ask any question related to the change of Samsung CSC if you are a professional, for normal users just place your order and get it done remotely.
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).
Thanks in advance

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?
SM-906E, from XXV to ILO.
Ok, The discussions is on SM-906U1

Does it allow showing "EOM Unlock" option in Developer mode for BL unlock?

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.

Hi there,
I have newly bought a S23 Ultra SM-918N model from South Korea. I live in Turkey and want to change to SM-918B model firmware because there is no Turkish option during setup. Changing on andorid settings will remain some English apps. Is that possible without unlocking the phone via Odin?
When I try to flash SM-918B stock rom via Odin, with Re-partition option is unselected, it gives PIT error and FAIL to flash. Is there a way to change the firmware from SM-918N to SM-918B any European one CSC?
Thank you.

I thought that they are theoretically same hardware so that it should work. So you say that even I change the pit file on Odin or any other program, I cannot flash SM-918B firmware to my SM-918N device

Chances are if you mess with the PIT you'll brick your phone & it will be a JTAG job. How badly do you want to brick your new toy ? ;-)
You tried to flash, it failed. Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.
its the same when i had a s22 ultra from china it looks like the phones from china or korea are software locked or something nothing would work to change the os from another region couldnt even use some of the secret menu codes to change the bands
