Hi all
I have some doubts about changing the csc, I've been looking on the web and here but still have massive doubts
I have a n950F/DS with OXM csc, currently pointing to UAE, cannot make samsung pay work, my cards are mexican.
so far I've understood this about the process
1.- downloaded odin and the bellow firmware from sammobile
Product code MXO
PDA N950FXXS3CRF1
CSC N950FUWB3CRE3
2.- Install MXO firmware by adding all four files, using csc file instead of home_csc
3,- let it boot and set up device, with out sim
4.- flash OXM firmware, all 4 files
5.- let it boot up with sim inserted and set it up.
I think those are the steps to make samsung pay work for my region but still not sure
Please let me know if I'm wrong, I really want to use the full potential of this phone.
Do you think is better to stay with MXO insteam or OXM?
thanks

thanks for replying,
let me see if I understand, I need to flash the whole 4 files so I can change csc? when to use home csc?
could you help me with the steps?
thanks!
I downloaded the firmware I wanted from updato and used Odin to flash each of the 4 files so I would have a phone as if I'd bought it from 3 network so I could use wifi calling and 4g calling
This is what I have now after changing to it

home_csc file, what does it do? is that the main one to force the csc to change? or do I always have to use csc_ file only?

I would flash the csc_ file and the other 3 files and start afresh but take the SIM out

Home_csc keeps your data intact, whereas CSC wipes. Google...

thanks! I was able to make it, problem was that I focused more on use the multi csc file instead of just changing my rom to a different region, but was able to make it
Hello guys,
I have a similar issue but I want to change it to full XEF instead of "XEF/XEF/XSG". Can you guys detail the steps I should do ?
Thanks

My last one got stolen (long story), and annoyingly this new one won't let me change CSC even after flashing with Odin. When I go to the change CSC option, only one I'm given in the list is VOD. BTU and the others aren't even there to choose from.
Can anyone help me out?
On a side note, it also won't connect to Kies any more either...

I just downloaded the FW in the OP of this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
Did you try to change it with the secret code?
Wannam lite download page has the code, you put IMEI in with other stuff

Yea, tried that, still no luck. Anyway, I solved the problem now. I just downloaded the FW prior to the link in the OP above, and that had the BTU options. After that I just upgraded to the latest FW using Kies.

I need another language, and i want to flash an another type of firmware G925F (region: XEH)

Did you already try to reset your network settings? You can do that from your settings menu. Then restore & reset and then hit reset network settings. Also did you try a simple reboot?

I'm sorry, maybe I was not clear.
The phone can not set the Hungarian language, because the firmware is not included.
That is why I want another firmware (or one of its components, such as AP or CSC) exchanged to be Hungarian.

What is the fail message in odin?
I dont think you can flash any other firmware to your G925A. Even sam mobile has no firmware for that model what so ever.
G925A is the at&t model and they only release firmware OTA which is why it is very hard to find any firmware.
Also these models have locked bootloaders which is very very hard to unlock. Which is why you get fail in odin.

I am sad about it, but i am understand it!
Well I saw the update in France [XEF] yesterday and wanted it right then! So I searched all the forums and finally found a good way and now my unlocked Galaxy Note 8[NON Rooted] is running Oreo with INS CSC.
Made this guide so that people can find this method easily.
Keep in mind that flashing your device is always risky and I DO NOT take any responsibility if you mess up the procedure and damage your device.
Method:
>
Download the latest BRB2 Firmware from here https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=67BFD0E620FF11E89F15FA163EE8F90B OR https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note8/SM-N950F/XEF/
Flash it using Odin[3.12.3] [ MAKE SURE THAT ONLY AUTO REBOOT & F.RESET TIME options are checked in the 'Options' tab of ODIN]
After flashing is complete reboot into system and run through the setup, after that remove your SIM & SDCARD and open the phone app. Dial *#272*YOUR IMEI NUMBER# to open the list of CSCs. [to get your IMEI dial *#06#]
Select the XEF CSC, it will ask to reboot and reset the device, let it do the same.
After the device reboots then check for software updates manually and you'll get OREO.
After installing oreo put your sim and sdcard back in, it will tell you to reset the device, DO IT as its necessary to restore your original CSC.
That's it
Now you have OREO, Non rooted and stock oreo.

Are you flashing CSC or HOME_CSC?
I am not sure what is the problem here but it should work...
its just a guess but try to flash CSC file if you were earlier flashing the HOME_CSC or vica versa

It cannot be specific to indian variants only.
Can you please explain your complete process [ firmware flashing etc]?
UK owners the only way to get XEF is with the latest COMB file N950FXXU3ARA2.
Well guys as the title says, yesterday I flashed the April security patch (because i was tired of waiting).
But when my phone rebooted i realized that I had lost my LTE connection, only 4G left. Also no more HD voice calling.
Any thoughts?
If I perform a factory reset will it be back to normal?
Thanks in advance

If you flash to different country's CSC which is not your country's CSC, VoLTE won't work.
Example: You flash to BTU (UK) firmware, but you're in Germany and using a Germany network operator, your VoLTE won't work.
hi,
i was on PAK CSC yesterday. I downloaded the PHN (netherland) firmware for super slow motion and My emoji feature and flashed the all 4 files (Not home csc but other).
Although the firmware is now the latest but my CSC is still PAK. Why CSC did not change??
And either now i will get updates for PAK based or PHN based?
And how i can change PAK to PHN/XEF for faster updates?
i went through some combination file solution and a short code *#1234*IMEI# but both does not work.
Regards
P.S. i have note 8 N950F/Dous model. Any help in this regard will be appreciated. And myy sims were in the phone when i flashed the firmware.

You could try changing your CSC using dialer
*#272*Phone's IMEI# and select PHN on the list
**It will erase your data, make sure you do a backup

maybe you could try, my phone was originally PAK but I had a non-working Philippine sim card on my phone inserted while flashing a clean XEF fw, but after the phone booted up my CSC is XTC.

Just to clarify, have you used CSC_ instead of CSC_HOME?
Also, please tell me if you have ***/***/PAK and if you're trying to change the last one, I guess it can't be changed

Yes i used CSC_OXM not CSC_Home. And i got the work around. i rooted the phone and used CSC zip by @Tkkg1994 and used to flash the XEF firmware. now it is XEF/XEF/XSG. And yes last one is phone origin that can't be changed. First is active CSC and second is Best CSC and third is phone region.
Thank you for your help.
Further i will report either after changing with CSC zip when i flash the FW either the CSC is XEF or again it reverted back to PAK.
