I bought SGS6E from polish operator Plus - with CSC PLS.
I found polish XEO (i was thinking that):
XEO-G925FXXU1AOCV-20150410142820.zip
flashed via ODIN. Everything went ok. But the CSC that phone show is... TPH for Portugal.
It is possible to change CSC without waiting for new firmware (good) for XEO?
Did you perform a factory reset in recovery as that resets the csc.
Otherwise maybe phone tools Samsung from the marketplace?
On the screen i seen
Appiled multi-csc. Csc appiled: TPH

Hey,
No way to do that. The problem is that even if you download FWs from sammobile that have different CSCs - based on my experience - they will default to something else. On my Galaxy Alpha which originally had XEH I flashed a XEF ROM and there was no way back. Sad but true.
The only good thing with the S6 is that with the currently available 5.0.2 ROMs you can still achieve root without loosing the warranty. And after root you can change the CSC and then can flash the original ROM which will NOW default to CSC you just set. But only if it contains that CSC package!
Hope I could help!
Cheers,
TT

I had the same problem first get your firmware from sammobile flash it through odin
then factory reset from stock recovery it will chose a random CSC but dont worry once you setup your new device go into the setting>backup and reset>factory reset. make sure you dont have automatic restore.
after reset setup device again then Open your phone’s dialer and type the following code with your device IMEI number: *#272*Phone’s IMEI Here#
it should automaticaly take to your csc changer screen pick ur one then install
hope it works !

How it works : on devices where dialer NOT shown up CSC changer (e.g.: 920F) :
Go to recovery, Dial up, Home + Power
wipe cache and perform a factory reset
next is important : power down the phone. NOT to reboot.
Power on in download mode: volume down+home+power buttons
FLASH for example : BTU :
G920FXXU3COI9_G920FBTU3COJ1_G920FXXU3COI9_HOME.tar
after reboot, it will be English, and If U go to recovery it will apply BTU.
Hope it helps
p.s.: It wont works with EVERY Firmware. don't know WHY. For example :
I wanted to flash after succesfully changed the CSC from TPH to BTU, so I wanted to flash XEH....BUT that resets to TPH after XEH flash.
So at least to BTU it works specially if you are in TPH CSC !
Can I change the CSC on an 925F to something non F? Currently mine is coded THR (Iran) and I wish to change it to something USA related. I'm hoping to activate Samsung Pay but from what I've read the change will require root which will trip Knox which won't allow Samsung Pay to work. Am I right?
Working for Galaxy s6 Edge in COJ9 ? If yes I will restore it
damm i wish i found this thread some hours ago ... same prob with G925FXXU3COI9_G925FOXX3COJ1_G925FXXU3COI9_HOME.tar as XEO CSC declared ...
coming from DBT -->> BTU --> trying jump to XEO with Firmware found by SamFirm , but failed.. every try it switches to TPH anywhere with CSC/Firmware i come from.
after read this thread i give up my trys
so go back to BTU and hope OTA Update to marschmallow comes next days ...
greetings from germany
So finally there is no option to install CLEAR XEO when you have brand? The same as author. Comming from PLS (plus) / TPL (T-Mobile) to XEO, and i get TPH For portugal.
Or meybe ishanmu and tiborprogmed way is working to have clear XEO with LTE icon?
Hello,
Since 2 days I got really really bad gsm signals (wifi is fine), when I get some I just have maybe 20% max, so I can't make or received calls only sending texting but I can get 4G+ which is working fine.
I didn't dropped or anything special with my phone.
I was using ozcan rom so I put a stock rom 5.0.2, still issues, try updating OTA, still issues.
Before flashing stock rom I wipe data and partition with the official recovery.
I try to put a different sim card still issues, my sim card is working fine on an other device...
Any idea ? maybe something to try with the "modem" should I try to extract it from my country from a stock rom and reflash it with odin ?
You are my last hope
Thanks
Hello.
Go to settings, backup, format system (or wipe).
Then pull out battery, get it back, go to recovery and wipe data, wipe cache.
Turn off, then power and go to download mode.
Download latest fw for your CSC, download odin, download PIT file for your CSC (sammmobile forum - galaxy alpha, first post).
Then open odin, plug your phone in download mode.
In odin select PIT - choose downloaded PIT.
In odin select re-partition.
In odin select AP - choose downloaded fw.
Then click start, it will ends with PASS and you will be OK.
thanks for your reply
But I can't find the pit for my csc :/

If you're using N950F with single SIM, it's possible to change your phone to dual sim if your phone is non-rooted.
You cannot do this by yourself, there are enough discussions in terms of this,
I have converted my N950F to dual sim and tested, working well on both SIM cards, VoLTE looks only work on SIM1
I'm looking the sim extension cable, I have already bought dual sim slot from ebay, but you CANNOT use sim 2 and SD at same time,
Otherwise you need DIY your SD card and SIM card, I cannot do this because my second SIM card belongs to another country, I cannot get new card if the old one got damaged.
So I'm looking some SIM extender cable.
There are 2 solutions for this,
1. Copy the IXXI to SIM2, some country will restrict same IXXI on the network, duration: approximately 2 hours, remote control 1 time
2. Using 2 different IXXI, but the original IXXI will be lost, they will give you 2 new IXXI for both SIM cards, duration: approximately 3 working day, remote control 2 times
If you need keep the current CSC, please use oreo AP/BL/CP and your home_csc file from your country rom.
I have tested, all good, VoLTE is working well.
If you need change the csc to another csc, normally change to the different csc but in same country, for my case, I have changed my csc from VAU/VAU/VAU to XSA/XSA/VAU.
I'm on vodafone, the VoLTE is still working after CSC changed, so don't if VoLTE is working on XSA with carrier vodafone.
How to change the CSC in same country:
You can just change to another country, then flash your home country firmware back, I have tested, the default csc will be changed to your home csc, even you take your SIM card out.
The only way with unroot is using the combination rom, see steps below (source)
Prerequisite:
*Battery at least 50%,
*Remove SIM & SD Card.
*Important- BACKUP
*Odin 3.13.1
1- Download the latest Combination file,
Google COMBINATION_FA71_N950FXXU3ARA2_CL12771072_QB16471415_REV00_user_mid_noship.tar or COMBINATION_FA71_N950FXXU3ARA5_CL12991683_QB16751804_REV00_user_mid_noship.tar
2- Flash your home country firmware, if you didn't flash to any other firmware, you can ignore this step.
After flashing the official ROM, Do a Factory Wipe.
3- Flash Combination file you downloaded in AP AND your country HOME_CSC file from official ROM
4- After successful flashing is done, wait for the phone to boot up, it will go in to diagnostic/Factory mode, don't panic.
5- Tap Factory IMEI and enter the code *#243203855# ,it will show you list of available CSCs, choose the one you need and tap install (I remembered there is 2 options, I selected the option with full).
6- Just in case, do one more Factory/Cache Wipe.
7- Power off the phone & enter download mode and Flash it with your country's officlal ROM. Four files (BL+AP+CP+CSC) Use CSC, don't use Home_CSC.
8- Knox Zero. System Status: Official
9- You can check your active CSC in recovery mode or use Phoneinfo app.
XEF Oreo firmware can be downloaded directly now, not OTA

The N950F and N950F Duo uses the same firmware
If i flash this via odin, how can i change csc back to original (my csc is THL)?
Downloaded via SamFirm . I'm on TPH (Portugal). Should I flash only AP as per sammobile instructions?
Instructions
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.13.1
Extract Odin ZIP file
Open Odin v3.13.1
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
Thanks in advance.
Hello, one noob question, if I flashed this fw, will I lose all of my data after flashing it? Thanks

You will likely have to wait 7 days for the option to appear, then you can toggle it to unlock the bootloader.
Soooo, flashed with CSC instead of Home CSC to get a full wipe and try to change stuff around, yet i am still at the old CSC, and i mean completely (MID/MID/MID). I fear i wont receive OTA's in the future now, but how the hell did i manage to do that?
At least i got Oreo.

EDIT. Answering to myself and everyone interested. Flashing AP, BL, CP, HOME_CSC works fine and leaves data intact. Done it.

Thanks but it's supposed that the oem unlock option only appears when the csc code match with the local SIM.
I did the factory reset but I still having Arab Emirates csc and I'm from Chile.

Did you have oem unlock before you flashed/reset?
OXM is a multi-CSC, and if your home country isn't included in that package then I don't think it would change to Chile.

Chile has like 5 CSC, one of them is "open". So, the question is: can I flash this firmware without problems or I have to wait to get the OEM option? If I do that, the SIM card must be on the phone or not? And, What happen if the OEM doesn't appears?
Sorry if im bothering but I don't want to mess up my phone.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I'm trying to change my CSC to XME (Malaysia). I downloaded the files using Frija. After flashing, my phone's CSC is now XXV (Vietnam) instead.
`XXV/XXV,XXV/EUY".
Note that I am unrooted and I'm trying to change the CSC region by using official firmware so I can still keep my Knox and warranty intact.
Wondering where did I do wrong? Help is greatly appreciated.
Update:
I've managed to change my CSC for Android 12.
When you flash a multi CSC firmware, it seems to be defaulting to a CSC which in my case, is the Vietnam XXV CSC.
I found a free tool that could change the CSC called SamFw FRP Tool 2.5
All I need to do is flash it with Odin again and when the initial setup screen shows up, go into an emergency call and type in *#0*# which will take you into the test mode.
After that, use the tool to change CSC with the tool then complete the rest of the setup on your phone.
P/s: Samsung Pay does not seem to work. When I add a card, it says invalid information when authenticating with the bank.
Hopefully the FRP tool is from a reliable source. The error message could mean the opposite. Normally the CSC from multi region is selected by the SIM cards country. Did you have 2x Malaysia inserted on first boot after flashing? Also there are dialer codes that bring up a menu to select a specific region, I think best chances are with Google phone app. You would need to search for these codes for your device.
Samsung Pay in german, CSC is EUX fix, 5 minutes
Hello This also works with most Samsung phones If anyone is struggling with Samsung pay being in German and has the csc being EUX, I know how to solve the issue and it only takes about 5 minutes. Basically the csc is set to EUX, which is the new European standard, but for some reason, Samsung...
eu.community.samsung.com
Another update, Samsung Pay works after I register with another bank. It was the old bank's fault. Not the phone or CSC region change. The CSC region change worked for Samsung Pay as well from the very begining.
