This method is useful if you're unable to change your CSC in multi-csc roms. Or if you don't have the desired CSC for Note FE, this tutorial will assist you to change with the best way.

1) Get the sec_csc.zip from other device that have your CSC as DEFAULT csc

Download other device's firmware here, note that newer devices like Note 8 doesn't have CSC system. Best way is to use S7 Edge files. Android version doesn't matter.

After downloading, extract the zip file. You should have 4-5 files inside folder. Pick one that starting with HOME_CSC or CSC. It doesn't matter. If you have 1 file rom, pick that file. Change file extension from tar.md5 to tar. Open the file with your desired archive manager application. Copy "cache.img" or "cache.img.lz4" out of the archive depending on what you have. You now need to decompress lz4 file if you have lz4 file. Use this link if you have Windows. For other OS'es do your own research.

Now you got the cache.img. Extract the files inside it. These links might help to extract cache.img, if you have another OS, use tool named "simg2img" and a tool to mount or extract img file as ext4. I'm leaving these kitchen links to extract cache.img.

Get "sec_csc.zip" in the "recovery" folder, if you don't have this file, try extracting this from another ROM. Open the zip file, and take a look inside it. In the "system/csc" folder there's a file named "sales_code.dat". Open this file with text viewer, and check if this sales code matches with your desired one. If it doesn't match, try extracting sec_csc.zip with desired sales code from another ROM. Don't try to edit this file, if you don't have a custom recovery or if you don't want to experiment it as I didn't try it.

2) Get platform-tools (SKIP THIS if you will use SD-Card for installation. USE Only if you don't have SD-Card or don't want to install with SD-Card)

Download platform-tools from Google. You will use adb sideload to install the zip. Check 3rd step for further information.

3) Installation (READ THIS even if you know about flashing ZIPs or you will probably fail, this part is the most important part of this tutorial)

Reboot into recovery

Wipe data

Install zip (sec_csc.zip) using SD-Card or ADB-Sideload

Your device will reboot and change the sales code to default one in the sec_csc.zip that you flashed.

4) Reflash official ROM (ONLY IF your CSC is in one of the official ROMS for your device with your desired Android version) using ODIN.

I won't be explaining this in detail. If you don't know do your research. Just take 4-5 files rom and select AP BL CP CSC (i'd prefer to not select HOME_CSC) in the appropriate places. If you aren't expert make sure that you don't tick the Re-Partition, nand erase etc. and don't select PIT file while flashing.

Hi, thanks for your guide

I just wannt confirm the SS Pay will work with that replacing CSC?
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Madness.:
If your region supports, it probably will.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] treysis:
No need to wipe data. However, if you have a Multi-CSC, it won't work that easy from firmware ARA1 and on, due to new security measures. You will then need either root or the combination firmware.

[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Madness.:
If you don't wipe data, sales code won't change, and this is the suggested method provided by Samsung. Without wipe, changes weren't persistent for me, they disappeared after wiping cache.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Madness.:
All credits to Samsung, that's how CSC installation works. And I didn't see any tutorial for changing "sales" code, found it by trying. All I wanted was to switch to TUR csc on KSA rom, it has OJV csc which contains TUR. Got it after changing my sales code and reflashing the original rom. Everywhere suggests insert sim and wipe data, or some *#code etc which doesn't work anymore. And it's stupid idea to downgrade for that csc change code even if possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] benyou54:
This process is not from Samsung. Samsung does not allow that kind of csc change. Now after the january security update, the only way to change the csc code for the multi CSC, it's to use the combination firmware used in the factory process to test.

If you used a single carrier csc, you don't need to factory reset your FE to change the sale code. View attachment 4501524

can i change korean CSC from N935k to another country CSC?
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Madness.:
It should work for any Samsung phone with CSC system.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Madness.:
Well, that's how CSC gets loaded into system. It's in cache image, it gets flashed after firmware update. Wiping data yields more reliable results, but I wouldn't mind it if I had lots of data on my phone. Looks like you still didn't get the point though, this tutorial is for changing "sales code", not only "csc"
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] energizer:
if I change korean csc, is there a chance that I will earn volte and s pay?
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] treysis:
What's the difference between CSC and sales code?
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Madness.:
Yes, you should try it. It will probably work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Madness.:
Sales code is simply your device's country code. It determines your active CSC if your CSC package has that files. Otherwise ROM tries to set it to default CSC of installed CSC. If you want to make sure that changes are more "persistent", follow the tutorial. Otherwise, just flash the sec_csc.zip, changes might be lost after wiping cache or data.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] treysis:
Hm, benyou54 changed his sales code without factory reset. But he is still on older bootloader. I am on January patch and my sales code is XME, though active CSC is VIA from my sec_csc.zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Madness.:
I did the experiments with latest version (Oreo) with KSA package. Older versions might have different behavior.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] treysis:
I see. But if I understand correctly, you can only change sales code to the default one of the CSC, not just any code you like, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Madness.:
Yes. It will set to sec_csc.zip's default one.

Hi, I tried on my S9+ with csc from S7 Edge but signature verification failed when flashing zip file.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] benyou54:
Hello. Wait, you don't have to do like that with the S9+. S9+ don't use csc_sec.zip. It's omc file format. You need to change your csc code by using the combination firmware. The S9 use omc multi international csc [emoji106]

[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] benyou54:
Yes you can flash any csc flashable zip from Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Matvei27:
How close does the firmware have to be? Does it have to be another device running 7.1.1 or can I take a XAA or TMB from Oreo and flash it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] benyou54:
Look your sec_csc.zip from the original firmware. It has to be a sec_csc.zip also, that's all. I know that S7 use csc format. S8 use omc format...

so CSC use S7 ROM, OMC use S8 or something yeah?
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] EZGGWP:
I think there is some trouble with Samsung Pay. I just flashed new CSC on my Note FE(N935F, stock was Thailand) and Samsung Pay said my device is not supported. Though Samsung Pay worked with Thailand CSC so maybe there is a reason to have stock CSC rather than flashing a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Rambo_FT:
Is this method working for the Galaxy S7 with zero knox counter?
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] EZGGWP:
There's a pretty much chance it is. Anyway, if you only flash CSC you should get nothing broken. While experimenting on my Note FE i once somehow set SER CSC as my active while there weren't SER CSC in available CSCs. That resulted in inability to download a Firmware Update by Wi-Fi, phone gave me an error which said that my phone is not registered in Samsung bases or something like that, and i can't download an update. I was scared a bit, but then i flashed original CSC archive again and active CSC was automatically set to XXV(Vietnam) and then i was able to download an update. I use it now in Russia with Vietnam CSC code and Samsung Pay works properly. Except that all sales/coupons were Vietnamese. The one thing i would recommend is to backup original CSC archive from the phone somehow, not really a pro in that field, but i think people here know how to do it. That way if you will not like your new CSC or it will be broken etc. you will have the original CSC that will work on your phone for sure. I regret not doing it because from stock i had a Malaysian CSC and Malaysian Samsung servers seems to be the best because they have the fastets firmware update download speed from that East cluster (Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and so on). Though you always can use Samsung Smart Switch update by cable with your PC.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Matvei27:
I got stuck on the wrong CSC and I can't reset it. The phone is supposed to be CHC.

I tried XAA but wanted to revert to CHC, so I used odin to flash the firmware.

Recovery still shows csc as XAA. I try and flash CHC either as sec_zip or reflashing the original CHC firmware,

it does not work and I am stuck on XAA. How can I reset it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Matvei27:
looks like I messed up the EFS partition and now I have to bring to a service center.

Big warning to those of you reading this thread: if you change the active CSC using this method on a device with only one region firmware available (ie, note FE is only KOR, W2018 is only CHC) you MUST BE SURE TO REFLASH ORIGINAL CSC ZIP before installing firmware updates with ODIN.

If you do not do this, when you reflash the original firmware not only will it not reset your CSC, but it will corrupt your EFS partition.

If you are using this method to change CSC you probably don't have root and that means that if your EFS partition is corrupted you must send your phone back to Samsung to fix it.

I know it seems like reflashing original firmware will just reset the CSC but that is not the case. Make sure the active CSC matches the firmware you want to flash BEFORE FLASHING.

Otherwise you will be very sorry. So Snapdragon (and KOR users also) be especially careful.

If you have root, backup your EFS!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] EZGGWP:
Important to mention about Note FE that N935F/DS is Philippines and Malaysia and it can be reflashed with other CSCs, N935S/N935K/N935L on the other hand is only Korean and it's CSC should not be reflashed. Also, good luck with Samsung service and your phone, changing ROM files and bringing your phone back to Samsung is a bold move.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Matvei27:
Even KOR and other single CSC device can be flashed with a different CSC and although it will not show in recovery mode (it will still show KOR) it will remain active through reboot (but you will not be able to take OTA)

The problem is you have to make sure to flash back to KOR before an update or ODIN flash or else it will brick your phone.

The advantage to this method despite the danger of not being able to backup EFS without root is that your warranty status will still be 0x0 so if you do mess something up Samsung will probably still fix it.

Anyway, moral of the story is be very careful flashing CSCs without root because you have no way to restore EFS.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] malaccio:
Is there someone who changed CSC from korean version to his country CSC?

I have an original N935K but I have flashed with Odin the "L" variant of Korean firmware and now I have LUC CSC.

(Korenan variant are 3: K (the one I had when I bought the phone, L the one I currently have, S on other version of customized carrier).

Now reading this post it seems that it is possible to change CSC to Italian one even if the Korean firmware version (K,S,L) is different and not changeable with international firmware (F) like Malaysian note fe.

Someone talk about efs corruption, which is the real risk and what I need to take into consideration to prevent this?

This step seems it is not necessary since the Korean version of the firmware doesn't included Italian Csc.

Correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] malaccio:
I've succesfully extracted the "sec_csc.zip" from S7 edge italian Oreo firmware and created a backup of "sec_csc.zip" from the firmware installed on my korean Note.

Now next steps should be:

-go to standard recovery and perform a factory reset (wipe data)

-flash "sec_csc.zip" from recovery

-reboot

correct?

Supposing that this will work, once i need to do a firmware updating I need to reflash my original korean "sec_csc.zip", do the update and then repeat the steps needed to change the CSC.

Am I right?

thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Madness.:
Didn't try on the korean version, mine is F, it should work fine in theory. Don't know the risk about efs corruption, ROM should reset the sales code in worst case, but this is Samsung, expect everything :D

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
How did you flash TWRP and custom if your USB port isn't working?

Download Mode is independent of ROM so unless your hardware got damaged since flashing custom, there's no reason it shouldn't work

Try installing Samsung S7 driver again, remove old drivers from device manager first while phone is connected / enabled "Show hidden devices" from device manager while phone is disconnected and remove old drivers

Windows should install the correct driver itself

I had some text messages and whatsapp messages I needed to reply to. Worst case scenario, can I still save the data? I have TI backup pro installed but find there's always things I forget to backup (for example even when backingup Whatsapp the pictures aren't backed up).

How can I get out of the bootloop to recovery?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] ____Mdd:
Temporary solution,

Boot into bootloader, start device from there, it will start from bootloader,

For further process, take backups of your important data and internal storage...

This solution works for sometimes,

Boot into bootloader and get adb/fastboot on PC.

Enter following commands,

- fastboot oem fb_mode_set

- fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

Try above commands 3-4 times (if doesn't work for first time.)

If still doesn't work,

You need to flash fastboot stock ROM, check guide section for it.

As of Thursday evening, I believe my Galaxy S6 was hacked. I say this because my significant other received screenshots from an unknown number that is located in San Diego and is a "landline". The next day she received text messages via a text messaging website trying to harras both of us. Since then, I have backed up my phone and done a factory reset, as well as change all of my passwords.
