I read all the available guides and tried with a lot of custom roms... how to change CSC???
I tried *#272*IMEI# and set a new CSC, from the available list. Phone reboots and seems to flash something by showing the progress bar. But after that *#272*IMEI# or *#*#1234#*#* show me again the original CSC code!
The only way I got successful is by flashing CSC from Odin. In this way I loose compatility from ROM versions... and sometimes I noticed lags in rom functionings.
HELP!
Where I'm wrong??

Tried also to manually copy CSC folder (under /system/csc/ITV) to corresponding folders... overwriting original files...
Now I can see ITV when pushing *#272*IMEI# but with *#*#1234#*#* I can see OXA again!!!
Remove required CSC files as above from original rom or CSC rom .
Custom rom open with win rar or 7zip do not extract .
Delete CSC folder delete CSC files and CSC version text delete SW Configuration XML file .
use ADD tab to add original CSC files to replace those deleted .
Close zip and flash via CWM .

Tried (with Cognition Rom) but typing *#*#1234#*#* I can see OXA again.. even if the only CSC available in the /system path is ITV!
Typing *#272*IMEI# I can see only ITV.
Also, how to check the CSC is set right? Are there other checks available?
Hello,
trying to repair an error that is bugging me to hell. When you run the recovery than thers a thing, this thing ('/system/csc/MOT/system/', proceeding with MULTI CSC)
So I was thinking that when I would flash it with the correct CSC file from my carrier MOT and get rid of the the Multi one.
And yes, does any one know why is my stock recovery written in red? Da faq ;/
I know that i can edit the previous post, but let this serve as a bump.
Is there a way lets say I could copy my carriers csc into the multi one and delete all others and then rename the whole flashable zip with the right name as it were my carriers separate csc file and just integrate it into the multi csc file. Probably I can do it this way, but in the multi csc zip there are three files in it;
- cache.img.md5
- GT-I9070_EUR_XX8G.pit.md5
- hidden.img.md5
so which of them should be modded to? How are those two files involved in the cache one which has the csc info? Why is there a pit file again? Or in other words.. which files trigger the correct order to successfully apply the modded csc.
If you can help me, I can guaranty that there will be "thanks" raining as Im not alone with this problem.

Have a nice day
Is there a way to unpack/pack the CSC?
I would like to add a display language right from the beginning on the current CSC that I have.
My phone is a Canadian version.
I can open and see the files of the CSC that I use and I can add in XML the extra language but I don't know how to packetize it as CSC
in order to flash it to my phone
Okay so I have managed to extract the XAA csc files from the G973U and decrypt them. I'm wondering if there's a way to use them on a G973F to make it the correct region. How do you go about setting which CSC is active, I can copy the XAA folder to system/product/omc but not sure how to activate it. In BeyondRom you can select which CSC to be active on installation so there has to be a way to set which CSC is active. I may try just switching out the files from XAA to my current TPA CSC folder and see what happens.
Update: After some investigating it seems you can change the CSC with the Phone INFO app as long as you have root, the only CSC available to change to though will be the OXM ones. I am thinking if I replace the whole OMC folder with the OMC folder from the G973U it may work. I will have to decyrpt all the cscfeature.xml and cscfeature_network.xml files, not difficult, just a bit tedious.
Would love some input on this.
UPDATE 2 I have attached the link to all the USA CSC files. It is 100% possible top use the OMC CSC files from the G973U on the G973F. I just tested out using the XAA csc and took a screen shot for proof. I needed to modify the mps_code.dat, sales_code.dat, add XAA to the sales code list and add XAA to the SW_Configuration.xml.
OP updated
If someone could use the Phone INFO app and tell me what their "Product code" is on a G973U1 that would be great! Would like to try changing the product code all and see if Samsung Pay will work.
EDIT: Found the product code for the USA G973U it's SM-G973UZKAXAA for the unlocked phone, and then for TMobile it would be SM-G973UZKATMB.

How did you change your CSC with Phone INFO? Mine doesn't let me.

Yeah the Phone Info way didnt work, what I did in the second update in the OP did though, but it didnt allow me to get samsung pay to work so I will try changing the product code at some point. Make sure to do a FULL TWRP back up including your product folder before doing any if this incase you mess something up.

I actually was able to get SW Version to say TMB/TMB/OPS. Everything works except RCS, although the video calling option is hidden (still works though). As for the product code, for some reason I am unable to access the IMEI folder. It's super weird, I can see it through a root browser, but can't modify anything. When I try looking for it through TWRP's file manager, it's hidden. I want to replace the prodcode.dat with a USA one so i get full support, but can't seem to modify it. What are the permissions on your folder? Mine may have gotten screwed up.

Im using Root Explorer.
Thanks! Could you also send the owner permissions for the imei folder as well please?
Edit: Nvm I got it. Have the TMB firmware installed, everything works except carrier version is showing 0.0.0. Gotta figure out how to get the TMB branded carrier version on here. That's what solved RCS on my S7
I am quite interested in this. I got a exynos. Id like to add cricket csc to
Hi, after some experimentation, I got the full T Mobile CSC to work on the exynos phone. It requires modification of the EFS folder + a carrier installer zip from mentalmuso and the CSC files from the carrier firmware. Basically you manually set the efs files to the make/model of the CSC, flash the zip, and replace all the files in the product folder with your firmware files. I used it for TMB, but I'm suspecting that permissions/folder names will need to be modified in the zip for it to work on other carriers.

Can you make a step by step guide of this with the required files? Or message me a quick guide with files?
Hi guys,
I understand that modem.conf is a selector for which modem.mbn file to load? Right now I would like to make my device G8232 (XZs dual) load up specific modem.mbn for my provider which is Three UK (hutch_uk) such as for example "amss_fsg_keyaki_hutch_uk_volte_vowifi_tar.mbn". But my current firmware has no modem.mbn files in sys.sin and no modem.conf file in OEM.sin related to hutch_uk.
I downloaded single sim version firmware G8231_Customized NOBA_41.3.A.2.247-R9E, in this sys.sin all of the required modem.mbn files for Hutch_UK are present! But in the OEM.sin is no modem.conf for Hutch_UK which makes me believe that even if I flash single sim firmware, the correct modem.mbn file will not be loaded or am I incorrect? Seems illogical to me to not include modem.conf for hutch_uk but to include the modem.mbn files.
I thought to check OEM.sin from XZ F8331_Customized UK_41.3.A.2.192-R3E firmware also since this device uses the same modem. In modem-config folder is modem.conf and one folder for 122 and one for 452, all using only "telefonica_uk" so no specific call-up for "hutch_uk" mbn (I presumed they would be name related to MCC and MNC of simcard but I cannot see any relevance, does anybody know how they are defined?)
I then check OEM.sin from F8331_3 UK_41.3.A.2.192-R9E. I can see no folders but just one modem.conf with entry <"hutch_uk_volte_vowifi">. I guess in my case I could flash OEM.sin from this firmware, then flash G8231_Customized NOBA_41.3.A.2.247-R9E (But exclude OEM.sin)? If this works I guess I will be stuck with crappy 3 UK branding?
I understand that If my device was rooted I could simply put the relevant modem.mbn files into /system/etc/customization/modem/ and I could then change /OEM/modem-config/modem.conf to "amss_fsg_keyaki_hutch_uk_volte_vowifi_tar.mbn". But I worry about DRM keys. Is there a way I could gain root access with BL locked through fasboot or flashmode via PC? I have the hutch_uk modem.mbn files ready if I could gain root access to SYSTEM, I can edit modem.conf if i gain root access to OEM.
Thanks guys, I posted here because it's not specific to XZs only, I just wish to learn some more about modem-conf system and how folder numberds are related to sim numbers etc. Any help would be appreciated. Best wishes !
G8231_Customized IT_41.3.A.2.247-R3E:
/OEM/modem-config/ "modem-config/" FOLDER DOES NOT EVEN EXIST!!!!!!!!? WHY? How is modem.mbn file selection determined?
/system/etc/customization/modem/ (Three UK MODEM.MBN FILES FOUND)
amss_fsg_keyaki_hutch_uk_volte_vowifi_tar.mbn
amss_fsg_keyaki_hutch_uk_ims_tar.mbn
amss_fsg_keyaki_hutch_uk_tar.mbn
So like NOBA region, modem.mbn files are present however... In the IT region there is not even the existence of the modem-config/ folder within /OEM. Now i'm even more curious to know :/
