[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I've been struggling this morning with my unbranded UK S6 Edge to get it to install a Vodafone UK ROM with the VOD CSC.

This is so I can setup native WiFi calling on Vodafone, which was added to my account yesterday,

The problem is that the stock Vodafone UK ROMs are multi-CSC, and no matter what I do when I flash one of them, I end up with a CSC of SIM (Slovakia), when what I need to VOD.

It seems that the *#272*<IMEI># code doesn't work any more, and I really don't want to root this device if at all possible, unless there's a safe way to do so without tripping KNOX.

Is there a way to do this, or otherwise repackage the stock VF ROM so that it only includes the CSC I'm interested it?

Cheers,

Dave

Hi Dave,

I've also got a BTU S6 EDGE which is on EE network. I wanted to use WIFI Calling feature which is only possible if the phone is running original EE firmware. The easiest way to do this is to download the latest VODAFONE UK firmware from Sammobile and flash it using using ODIN. No need to root and lose warranty. Just make sure you wipe Cache from Recovery menu after flashing new firmware to change your CSC to VOD.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks, but I've tried that. The problem is that the ROM is multi-CSC, and when applied it doesn't get the correct CSC that I require.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panesaam:
Hi Dave,

That's where WIPE CACHE from recovery will help. You might have to try that couple of times to pick up just VOD CSC. That was my case as well. I had EVR, BTU, XEU as CSC but after WIPE CACHE, it changed to just EVR.

Thanks

The other way is, if you can find VODAFONE S6 EDGE Serial Number (NOT IMEI number) from somewhere then you can use emergency firmware recovery option from Samsung SmartSwitch and flash Vodafone firmware that way. It will reset your phone to factory setting but with Vodafone firmware on it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Tried it at least 6 times - CSC stayed as SIM.

That was with 2 different Vodafone ROMs.

Cheers,

Dave

I've got the reverse issue. My phone is multi CSC and I want to use the ATT firmware in hopes of gaining Samsung Pay. I have the 925F variant and the ATT variant is 925A.

I read somewhere that it is possible but this was tried with an unlocked S5 which was flashed with carrier firmware and gained the desired CSC but then it was locked to that carrier.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nofam:
You need to do a factory reset for the new CSC package to be applied - I'd suggest you disable auto reboot in Odin, flash the VOD firmware via Odin, and then boot straight into recovery from download mode, without booting the phone. Do a factory reset from there, and you should see the new CSC being applied.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Tried it, several times!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nofam:
Have tried doing the hard factory reset from the dialer once the phone has booted?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Looked up the hard reset code MRI codes, but it doesn't do anything on my device.

I spent another few hours flashing and refreshing VOD ROMs, and wiping phone and cache. The CSC always remained at SIM.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenredblue:
Is this still an issue for you or were you able to resolve it? I've got exactly the same problem - stuck on Slovakian country code. In the end I just re-flashed BTU and lived without wi-fi calling but i'd like to know if there is a workaround.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I gave up and went with the Marshmallow beta instead.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zmaczac:
solved

same here with an edge plus, but i did solve it ...the csc was stuck on SIM WHICH SLOVANIA....had to root phone, install supersu, install csc changer..all from play store...use csc changer and change it to VOD the phone will reboot....it might get stuck on boot saying dm verification failed, just reboot it..then...DO NOT wipe cache, and DO NOT do a date reset....just let it reboot, and plug it in computer..use smart switch recovery software, and that will do it...but the wifi calling option is still not there, hope this helps....

I had the same problem on a Edge+ and have solved it in a similar way:

Any no-root solution?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adiwilko76:
It's something to do with the 2 different csc files in downloaded firmware one is just csc and one is home csc, download the right Vodafone firmware and when you put your csc file in on odin use the csc not home csc and that will flash the correct country code and automatically factory reset your phone whereas the home csc doesn't factory reset but unfortunately its irreversible unless you root your phone and then youll trigger Knox counter and lose warranty. But thats the only way you'll get VOD csc.

Dear Everyone,

I am not sure if this is relevant but I am really dying to know the know-how for this specific android app called FREP Finger Replayer...I read in google playstore that this app can be used for rooted and non-rooted android mobile so I wanna go for it for my P8 Max (was bricked few days ago and restored with the help of sir rowihel2012). I know how to do it if rooted but for non-rooted its kinda tricky...hoping someone could assist me...thank you in advance.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finner42:
Hello,

I have a number of questions before I jump in and update my phone, so I'm hoping to get some advice on the best way to upgrade from a 4.4.3 custom rom (ARHD 83.1) to the latest stock (rooted) rom - it looks like the custom 6.0 roms aren't so stable at the moment, so best to avoid them for now?

I'm also looking to update my radio with the hope of getting a better signal, or is the radio not really affected by the rom version? Hoping to get better battery life and general stability too.

I understand that I can't just install a custom 5.0.2 rom (e.g. ARHD 93.0) or custom 6.0 rom via recovery (as I normally would do) because of firmware/radio miss-matches? I need to update this first (must be S_OFF) before I can flash.

Some details:

M7_UL

HTC_039

Unlocked

S-ON

HBOOT-1.44.0000

Current: 6.09.401.11 / 4A.14.3250.13

Carrier: Telstra (AU)

From what I can tell, my two main options are either using ruu.zip/ruu.exe or Guru Reset.

I'm S-ON, so I can use Guru Reset, but I can't seem to find the latest firmware with this.

I understand I can flash ruu.zip/ruu.exe with S-ON if the firmware is newer?

Am I better off going S-OFF now (it's easier while on 1.44?)? Do I need to be S-OFF?

How do I know which firmware version to choose? Can I jump straight to 7.19.401.2?

Will OTA work after this?

Does it matter if I use x.xx.401.x (WWE?) or x.xx.908.x (Optus?) or x.xx.841.x (Telstra??) ... I don't want any carrier software, but I would like the best radio for my carrier (Telechoice/Telstra).

I understand that HTC_039 is Optus, but my current firmware is using WWE - these don't have to match?

So, if I need to do S-OFF, should I just use revone using this method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4BWxtjaamM and this file http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63834144&postcount=6943 .. or using the toolkit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2364445 ?

Then, which is the preference for ruu.zip vs ruu.exe? e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybu7fZa41so

Once all is installed, I can re-root and install xposed for stock rom tweaks? I may or may not need to reinstall TWRP...?

I'd just like to be sure of what I'm doing before I start as there's so much information out there and I don't want to brick my phone!

Any help and advice is much appreciated - thank you!

You could use the 1.29.980.2 CWM backup to restore your phone back to stock and from there you could either attempt to s-off your phone using Revone and do whater you want (like converting your phone to another version) or simply update your phone until you are on the latest version for your phone.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finner42:
Thanks for this. I'm currently running TWRP, but it looks like there's only a CWM version for this.

So, do I need to S-OFF? If I do this, and don't S-OFF, do I just get all the OTA updates, or is there something else that needs to be done for that to work?

To confirm, I can't just install the latest 5.0.2 ARHD over the top (with full wipe), because of firmware differences?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
You need to use CWM recovery to restore CWM backup so you'll need to flash that recovery. You don't need S-OFF to flash the recovery, restore the backup and update your phone but if you want it, better to do it before updating. After restoring the backup, you'll need to flash back the stock recovery over CWM so you can install ota update. The stock recovery can be extracted from the ota update, download it and select "install later". Once downloaded, go to your Downloads folder and copy the zip file starting with "ota" to your computer. Open the zip file and you'll see another zip named "firmware.zip", extract that one to your desktop and finally open the firmware.zip file and extract the recovery.img file from it. This file is the stock recovery to be flashed before trying to install the previously downloaded ota update.

You can't install latest ROM (sense + lollipop) because your firmware is to old. Doesn't matters if its a x.xx.401.x or x.xx.780.x base but it must be 7.xx.xxx.x
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finner42:
Awesome, thanks for the guidance :D

Again, to clarify - is S-OFF something I need, or do the risks outweigh the benefits, once everything is up to date? Once S-OFF, this will remain S-OFF? Best to do this first while still on a rooted ROM, before loading stock nandroid?

Sorry for all the questions, but your help has been great, thanks! :)

You can use the 7.19.401.2 from this thread. BUT you will have to do the "downgrade for s-on" (bottom of 2nd page) to set your mid to .2 first.

I think the .22 ruu should also work for you, after the downgrade. But the example is exactly your device so may be easier to follow.

Do i have to install drivers? which ones?

edit : answer to myself, install anbdroid sdk :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ionioni:
you should all go and read again the TWRP and ROOT post, i added some new (IMPORTANT) stuff at the end and someone maybe can confirm it for the others
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
the 'data' is automatically encrypted (if it's not encrypted already) when you start your tab having a stock image on your 'boot' partition, so yes, if you apply an OTA update you will 'get' an encrypted 'data' on your first Android complete boot(since the OTA can only be applied to a stock/*restored from TWRP backup*/ rom).

since the device is (or you cannot use TWRP) unlocked, it should stop right at start (before the boot image is loaded), waiting for the user confirmation (we can use this 'nagging screen' as a 'feature'), you can do this in order to keep your 'data' partition in the previous state (ie unencrypted and with the existing stuff untouched) when you take an OTA:

1. when notified, download the OTA update (don't apply it!) and copy it to your SD Card

2. (re)boot to TWRP and restore from the 'stock' backup you should already have made before, once done you need to reboot to (stock) recovery (make sure no 'normal' boot is made) in order to apply the OTA

3. once in the normal (stock) recovery, apply the OTA update using the zip you have on your SD Card (from step 1), tab will automatically reboot at the end but because in unlocked state it will hang at the start confirmation screen

4. when at the confirmation screen DO NOT boot to normal Android, instead go to fastboot mode and enter a temporary TWRP again

5. since you have a 'new' (after OTA) stock rom, you need to make a new TWRP backup and after the backup is finished, while in the same TWRP session just patch again the (boot image) encryption using the script

you can now continue normally, boot in Android, if you did as above instructed your 'data' is untouched/stays unencrypted (same stuff as before the OTA will still be there). this is just a scenario, one can think different ones, depending of his needs, but remember that you cannot allow even a single 'stock' boot or you will get an encrypted 'data' only the patched one keeps the 'data' unencrypted

regarding the flashable rom.. what do you mean? a flashable rom that matches the build number before the OTA make no sense (since one already has/*or shuld have*/ a TWRP backup) and a 'after OTA' flashable rom needs that someone takes the OTA then dumps the needed partitions, then make the rom, then upload ... too complicated and not so much practical usage (when others, easier solutions exist)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] walther1337:
It would be great to have flashable OTAs instead of having to do all this every time there's an update, considering how good Lenovo has been with OTAs we have to do this too frequently IMO.
