Does anyone know whether i can I flash XEU firmware with odin to my network locked model? I'm on (EE UK) and would like to have the unlocked unbranded version on my device so i can receive ota's faster than a network locked model?

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!
Hi all,
I'm a complete noob when it comes to firmwares and flashing and I have a few questions about carrier branding.
I bought my GT-I9300 sim-locked and have since unlocked it, but I'm assuming my firmware is still carrier branded? How do I change my phone to be exactly like it would have been had I purchased an unbranded & unlocked phone? That is unrooted, "Device status: Normal", and OTA updates as if I had purchased an unlocked, unbranded phone
Is this possible, and if so what do I need to do?
*#1234# gives the following (This is a carrier branded firmware, right?):
AP: I9300XXBLH3
CP: I9300NELH1
CSC: I9300HTSBLH1
Thanks in advance!
Flash a stock Samsung firmware from the stickies or sammobile.com
or via CHECKFUS .

Dear mates,
I am flashing a European or U.K Firmware on my Mobile( I bought it in Pakistan). Its 965F. Since I moved to U.K. Can someone tell me a compatible firmware from U.K or European firmware which is Carrier free, Dual sim and Exynos version?
I have attached screenshot of my Phone Software.
If someone has a Phone in Europe or U.K(Preferred U.K) with similar Specs (Dual Sim, Exynos and Carrier Unlocked), Please share me a screen shot of Firmware, I will download from Sammobile.
Thank you in Advance
Download either BTU or DBT firmware and you'll be fine.
I bought a A52 5G mobile, but unfortunately it appears to be China version - SM-A5260/DS. As i live in UK, It would be convinient to switch it to European, preferably UK region. The problem is that there is no "Euro" firmware for SM-A5260. Could I flash UK firmware of SM-A526B? The phone is unlocked, knox not tripped. Currently it says: AP: A5260ZHU1AUH5,CP: A5260ZHU1AUH5, CSC: A5260OZS1AUH5, Model: SM-A5260/DS.
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?
