Just got this update on my S7+ 5G, CSC = PHN.
It solves the problem of the device not always responding to touching the screen.

Hello everyone,
I have a question, No I have Oreo 8.0 with brand PLS but i want to install Pie 9.0 XEO. I don't want lose data from the phone. If I flash soft with Odin with CSC_HOME can I expect any problems with phone or apps?
No problems, you'll be fine if you flash HOME_CSC.
Are You sure ?? I want to avoid resetting the phone and setting everything again.
Yes,just select home csc in csc option
It is not only the change of the software but also the brand, because PLS is the brand of one network and the XEO is unbranded or will it not be argued in some way?
I’m trying to flash the firmware on a S6 edge (Android 7.0) in the hope I might get wifi calling calling on Three in the UK as there’s no mobile signal where I live and the 3inTouch app I’ve been using is discontinued. I’m on PAYG which is perfect because I’m a light user and Three’s credit doesn’t expire.
I used Odin successfully to install BTU firmware from Sammobile but that doesn’t give me wifi calling. But when I try to install H3G firmware for Three I get a failed error in Odin and a “SECURE CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER)” error on the phone. I’ve tried various versions of Odin and firmware from another site but all failed. USB debugging is enabled in developer options.
I found a thread where it appeared someone managed to get wifi calling working on an S6 using Kies to enter the model number and serial number of the phone and then was then offered a menu to select the firmware he wanted to install. I tried this on a separate pc (in order not to interfere with Odin) with the newest version of Kies I could find that gave me the option to enter the model & serial number. But this gave me the error “SM-G925F does not support initialising”.
So is the only solution now to root the phone, which I’m reluctant to do because of security? If I do root it and manage to update the firmware is there anything I can do to make it secure? And if I give up and buy a new unlocked sim-free phone (S7 or above) from Amazon or elsewhere will wifi calling work or would I need to be flashing firmware again which I don’t really want to do on a new phone.? Three's website says it has to be bought from them.
I should also have said that OEM unlock doesn't appear in the developer options
I have been at this issue since Saturday and gone through a lot of possible solutions but to no avail. So first of all i am in Ghana. A friend came to me with his s6 edge that he had some issues with his phone going off when he unplugs the charger and getting stuck in a bootloop when turning it on unless he plugs a charger in before it boots up fully(even with full charge)
So first of all he wanted to do a factory reset(phone was not rooted). Factory reset completed successfully but issue still persisted.
Specs of the phone was:
android 5.0.2
model number = SM-G925F
original csc (i wasnt able to note that down because downloading stock firmware was going to be the last ultimate weapon. first i was going to try some custom roms to see if it fixed the issue. Besides it was working fine here in Ghana.)
So that's when i flashed a twrp and i dont exactly remember but i think i might have tried to flash a lineage OS or something. But long story short, when u try booting up, the samsung galaxy edge screen with powered by android came on and stayed there. and it did not go on to boot up.
After trying through the night i then decided to use the ultimate tool and flash a stock firmware. Try as i might none of them got past the "Repartition Operation Failed" portion of flashing it. The Pit File was becoming an issue. Tried firmwares for my country, countries nearer to us, contries in africa and finally even european firmwares. And since from reading from here and other forums that the F variant was an international version the international pit files should work but they werent.
All this while whenever i go to Odin Download mode on the phone, the product name there was SM-G925D. This started the confusion because at that point i had looked through alot of firmware and that was not an option. When i searched google for that, the search results mostly correlated it to SC-04G, which looking at it was a Japanese firmware. I didnt want to use a japanese Firmware for obvious reasons. At least i wanted a firmware that was by default in English. But after about 2 days and seeing a lot of answers saying stuff about going to settings and checking stuff there plus me wanting to see an interface and work my way from there i succumbed.
And lo and behold, it flashed on the first try(i used the 4-part files firmware. It was android 7.0). But when it came to booting up, the splash screen had changed from samsung bla bla bla powered by android to NTT DOCOMO powered by android. But it booted up and i skipped through the setup. i had to change the language to english but there were a lot of japanese bloatware that came with it. But as i expected when i popped a sim card into it, and restarted the phone, there was the not available symbol(circle with a bar across) where the network bars were supposed to be.
Seeing that this was not going to do, i went to the settings this time to check on any important details and this were the new details
android version 7.0(January, 2018)
model number=SC-04G
build number was now SC0.....(cant write the full code as im currently in odin mode)
But obviously it was the japanese network. After this i have downloaded more firmwares and they all fail at "Setting PIT...Re-Partition failed". Somtimes i try to mix the 4 files up using maybe the CSC portion of the Japanese firmware but BL, CP, and AP of firmware from my region. This time the error is "sboot.bin failed".
And that has been my grind till now. Downloading likely firmwares and all failing to doing extremes like the mix and match. When the mix and match with BL, CP, and CSC of Japanese with AP of my region works and eventually boots up, there is no touch input. The touch does not work. When that happens i just have to start all over with the SC-04G, which never fails to work.
I have even seen some things about changing csc files in the file explorer with root so i flashed the Japanese FW and rooted it. Went through the processes but to no avail.
PS:
The first part of the Odin screen where you choose to continue or reboot is now completely in Japanese whiles it was formerly in English.
And there is no indication on the phone itself that it was from Japan. The back says Samsung and below it says Galaxy s6 edge. Friend bought it from a shop in Ghana here brand new.(not from a carrier)
****So here lies my confusion. How come a phone with an original model number of SM-G925F have a Product name of SM-G925D in Odin and hence only Flash Japanese Firmware SC-04G(CSC code = DCM) but would not flash any of the international variants. Even if i can eventually get the Japanese firmware to read the sim card we can manage it that way. But thats for when there are no options left.
So please i would like to know your ideas as to how this is happening and any possible solutions that might be different from what my batallion of open tabs are telling me. You can also let me know if you want any more details i might not have included. Looking forward to hearing from you guys.
Update On Issue
I ended up using the japanese firmware in the end because it wasnt picking anything else.
This time after the setup process, it picked up the sim card and the imei is available. So since network is now available i just rooted it with cf autoroot and removed the japanese bloatware and everything looks normal now.
Except the original issue of going off randomly whn power cable is pulled out even when having full charge.
:good:
Hi all...
I recently flashed BTU Android 12 firmware on my XFA Galaxy S10e (exynos). Everything went perfectly, it defaulted back to XFA...
Then tried the same thing on my Galaxy S20 FE (exynos) (also installed the BTU Android 12 firmware), and am now struggling. The firmware first defaulted to Russia (SER). I was able to downgrade back to Android 11 (BL 8 for both) but then the CSC defaulted to Turkey (TUR).
Now, no matter what I do, I cannot get it back to XFA, or anything other CSC for that matter. It's stuck on TUR, no matter what region of firmware I install. Even tried XFE which is not an OXM CSC and it still went back to TUR. And I cannot currently use Samsung Pay.
I cannot use SamKey as my work laptop won't let me install it (Endpoint Security quarantines it).
Does anybody have a reliable method I can follow to change it back to XFA.
I've tried flashing, even using the pit file and doing nand erase with no luck. The codes on the dialer don't work either. I've also tried flashing various firmwares such as BTU and XFE with no luck.

Mine is a Galaxy S20 FE G780F, do you have the same phone as me? I did manage to fix mine, read on to find out how.
This was not easy for me to fix. I tried samkey on someone elses laptop and wasted 2 credits because it did not work. I selected XFA on samkey and it went to SER (Russia). Second time it stayed on SER.
Downgraded to Android 11 XFA, and it got stuck on TUR (Turkey) again. No matter what I tried, it would not change from TUR.
I tried flashing pit files, rebooting with different sim cards, factory resetting many times as well as flashing about 10 firmwares both on Android 11 and 12. Still was stuck on TUR.
I then decided to flash the Australian firmware for Android 12. When the phone booted up, it was actually English. I thought it was fixed, but no, it was then on Indonesia. Atleast everything was English but samsung pay would still not work.
I then flashed the stock XFE (Samsung unbranded - South Africa) firmware and boom!!! When the phone booted everything was back to XFA.
I now have Samsung Pay as well as the latest security update which is not even out yet via OTA.
Only issue I'm experiencing now is bad battery life and the phone heats up a lot with light usage. So I'm still pissed
Hey I just my Samsung galaxy s20 (SCG-01) is locked to the au network in japan (Blacklisted too I bought it second hand ), and I tried many ways to unlock it but nothing helped, So now i'm trying to install a different region firmware same model same specs the only difference is the region. My model - SCG01, The firmware I'm trying to install - SM-G981U. But when I try to install the firmware through Odin, it shows a message as a failed in red. When I click start in odin it takes around 3 seconds and the failed message is shown. My problem is why can't I install a different region firmware even thought all of the other specs are exactly same in my device, Please help. I'm using the latest version of odin as well
