That's not true anymore. You can use the new SamFw FRP Tool 3.1 to change csc without wipe (if it works). But beware, you can't always change you csc back .... Backup always to be safe.

Odin for MAC

you can use odin on mac, without any problem, the Indian CSC as far as I know if it brings 5G, currently I have that in the TELCE Mexico operator and if it gives me the 5G option, in terms of battery it has performed somewhat better than in the MXO, the camera application is not affected, so as not to lose your mobile information you have to use the csc_HOME that will come with the firmware that you download if you use the one that does not say HOME you will lose all the information and it will remain as factory
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] erdvo:
Hi, there is a warning message with Odin starting

1) Asking to delete the google account (Samsung account?) before downloading the software: this means to delete google and samsung accounts on the phone before uploading the firmware with Odin?

2) regarding the fact that it is not possible to use the device without unlocking: what does that mean? I understand that Knox is not tripped with this tutorial, am I wrong? Or does that mean that the "OEM unlocking" option must be activated in the development part of the settings? Or does that mean something else?

New build - S908EXXS2AVI7 released for XSG CSC this morning. Comes with October 2022 security patch, same kernel, same CSC and same baseband as previous build.

OTA size was ~320 MB.

Probably going to be the last Android 12 build for the S22 Ultra.

Hi guys i bought a galaxy s22 ultra (S908E/DS) and i saw it now the the csc is for Arab country. i live in Bosnia (Europe) is there any way to change the csc to eux? thansk for infos
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mabmed:
No way, impossible. Because, you have bought a snapdragon variant, and Europe (eux) have exynos variant. Snapdragon should work in Europe without any problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DangerousB:
wait i didnt understand you now?! can i flash only the csc eux over odin? or not?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mabmed:
Don't do that.

Snapdragon is a different model. You can change csc for the same model as I know.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DaOldMan:
Which csc you exactly have? There are many arab countries. If you have the E model then what they said it's correct. That's the Snapdragon variant. Europe has the Exynos variant cpu.... So they have the B model.

You can only change the csc to the ones you have in the rom. In your snapdragon rom you will never find a csc that belongs to a completely different Exynos rom. So no eux csc change is possible. Hope it's clear.

Sorry mate.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DangerousB:
thanks for the answer :) here is a screenshot of my version
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DaOldMan:
This csc is United Arab Emirates. The device is Snapdragon. The csc doesn't support native call recording. You can change csc to another Snapdragon csc that does allow call recording if you wish. Enabling both Samsung Pay and call recording is problematic, I am not sure there is csc that supports both. You can use the samfw tool to change csc. But beware, after the change some csc don't allow going into test mode so you can't change csc again :-( .

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DangerousB:
Thanks i dont wanna to mess up the phone i wl leav it like it is :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
INS (India) does supports both.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DangerousB:
i have just one more question?! debloating the phone works like exynos version or is something diffrent? on my galaxy s plus europe version i used universal android debloater
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DaOldMan:
Ok, so that's the csc to use. I hope ins doesnt have a lot of bloatware.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DaOldMan:
Debloating Snapdragon works the same like Exynos. Same apps will work.. Because ADB works the same.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mabmed:
Call recording will work if you have sim card from India. If you haven't il will not work.

CSC Indonesia (XID) have call recording, work great with any sim.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DaOldMan:
So no call recording if you don't have a sim from India? That sounds really bad. @dr.ketan can you please comment?

XID csc is not part of United Arab Emirates roms. So he will need to flash XID rom first and also I have no idea if he can change his CSC with that rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
There is nothing like call recording doesn't work on Indian csc if no Indian sim is there. Issue is if you part of OXM group of csc and flash Indian rom, it doesn't make any difference because India also a part of OXM group. Here in this case, call recording not working because csc doesn't apply as oxm group is multi csc. When you flash multi csc, csc will be applied according your SIM. So when your own csc available, it always applies it.

XID is non oxm group so if your own csc doesn't included (because it isn't multi csc) it will force apply XID csc

CSC application bits complicated and you needs to understand how it works and your csc and flashing csc belongs to which group
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mabmed:
Yes, XID isn't a part of csc oxm. Csc (ole)

If you want call recording you need to flash indonesian rom. It works great, without problems, but updates quite late. I tested it

It's preferable to do a clean flash
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DaOldMan:
This is no longer true. Few years ago csc would change when it detected a new local simcard. If it would work this way all we needed to do is insert an ILO simcard, make a full wipe and the mobile would be on ILO csc. Which never happens. We all have here 3'rd party mobiles imported from the Emirates. ILO is part of OXM. ILO and XSG are in the same OXM group list. But still, the devices always stay on the programmed (XSG) original CSC. If the devices cared about the simcard, life would peachy. Everyone here wants ILO csc, because it has internal call recording. The local distributor even uses this to his advantage to sell phones. They tell people - if you buy a 3'rd party mobile (from UAE) you will never have call recording. I proved them wrong on the local board.

What you have to do for years now is to actively change the csc. With root, that's just nothing as you can change even the original csc files in the efs partition. But without root you have to use programs or boxes to change the csc (like SamFw or SamKey). Simcard alone will not help you.

But if you say that INS csc will record, even if the simcard is not from India that's cool. Then he can change his csc to INS with the program and be done with it. As INS is part of his OXM rom and he can change to it with the program. That's of course if he is interested in call recording/samsung pay at all. He didn't state that :-) .

Cheers. mate !

P.S Maybe INS csc is an exception and still changes to foreign csc when you insert other simcard then from India. But I haven't seen this for years now.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hoseinfordev:
thanks soo much

so i must use odin 3.14 on provided url?

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jostian:
not sure about today but definitely over the next few days they'll roll it out.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ningsp:
No. becuase UK BTB is exynos variant (SM-S908B). You can change CSC to INS for upgrade or wait samsung push android 13 update for your region.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nosferatu123:
i dont understand, if the india rom is for the same model i have the s908e witth OXM so i can flash it via odin and still have regular ota when out

so why not all the country got at the same time the ota? its the same no? if i flash this firm it exact as i will get in my own country so why not all got at the same time? can someone unswer my stupid question lolll
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DaOldMan:
You are totally correct. The roms are quite the same. My guess is they wait a bit to see if some things go wrong in India. When they see it's fine we will all get that rom.

Or just "Odin" it 🤣.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ningsp:
I think Samsung should use one CSC just like European that use EUX to update at the same time for many countries.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Evil_Smiley_za:
You can update with the INS firmware after download just do not flash CSC. Instead flash the HOME_CSC and it will only upgrade..... Flashing the normal CSC with odin will wipe your device clean...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nosferatu123:
dirty update the new INS firm wont make problems? its not better to fully update using the CSC?

or it will be ok just to flash with the home csc?

cause if they didnt release it to other region so maybe thers still bugs?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Evil_Smiley_za:
Its is not a dirty update. If you do the OTA update it will basically be the same thing even if it is your CSC. Ultimately the choice is yours.

I am on XFA_OXM and are waiting. If I do not get the update by Friday I will flash the INS with HOME_CSC as I have already downloaded it. Upgrading your device this way will prevent the INS bloatware from seeping into your firmware or device. It will also not change the CSC on your device. In my case it will stay in XFA.....
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nosferatu123:
so if my devise is s908e i can flash it via odin but its better for me to use the HOME_CSC and it will be fine yes?

and i will still get ota when out for other version?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Evil_Smiley_za:
Yes you will as your update will stay official...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Evil_Smiley_za:
Lets just be clear... If you say OTA update... You will not get the OneUI5 A13 one that was meant for your region as you would have already updated to the official version. But yes you will receive OTA and updates after that..... Hope you understand my meaning....
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nosferatu123:
thx totally clear :-)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jostian:
Even after all the hype of A13 they couldn't even fix the glitch in theme when selecting media you cannot see the tick mark... seriously!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DangerousB:
Im now on xsg csc s908E/DS is it simple just to flash the INS csc home? Without that my phone will be wiped? And can i go back to XSG after updating to A13?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DaOldMan:
Did you complain about it in the beta phase?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sswagonman:
Just flash home csc and your phone will stay xsg and won't wipe. Yes u can then change back to xsg once it is out. Bear in mind it is always a good thing to wipe with a major software update imo
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DangerousB:
i tought that when i flash the INS csc it will change my xsg to ins
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Jostian:
wasn't part of beta
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sswagonman:
No because we all have the oxm csc. U need to use a tool like Sam key. It will stay with what u have
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DangerousB:
ok thanks so to be clear just home csc INS enough to get the A13 update?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sswagonman:
Flash all the needed files such as ap cp bl and in csc use home csc
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DaOldMan:
So no one complained about it maybe.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DaOldMan:
Yeah, did it yesterday. Flashed all files from ins rom in Odin. Used home_csc. No wipe, same csc from oxm like before. Works just fine.

Always worked liked this for years, so no change.

Hi! I'm a bit slow and I know this has been asked before but I don't feel like I really understand what's going on.

I'm on the multi-csc OWO and my CSC is TMM from Mexico. I know it might take some time until we get the One UI 5 update. I know I can use Odin to update with another country from another multi-csc. So, what happens if I use odin to update with the India rom for an example? Do I lose anything, signal, features?

Or I can just go and install and nothing happens. So far the only thing I would like to keep is caller id, I don't do call recording or anything like that.

And if nothing happens, what do I have to do? Just flash normally and use the home_csc so I don't lose data?

Thanks in advance for your time, and I'm sorry if this has been answered already. Don't want to mess up and end up flashing and reflashing because it didn't work and maybe lose all my data. Btw, phone is not rooted.

After update my s22 ultra the only problem i am facing now is that charging i am using 45w super fast 2.0 charging. But when i connect my charger in 5 seconds the super fast charging stopped and just "charging" written in notifications. Btw i restart my phone, i changed my original cable & adapter still problem is same.

Anyone also facing this issue after Android 13 ???

Hey, I haven't tried yet as I don't know if I'm going to break something. I'll try asking somewhere else and investigating. Haven't had time to actually try too, but don't really wanna do anything until I'm sure I'll have time to fix anything if it goes wrong.

I'll let you know.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Chids84:
Hie. I went ahead and updated with Indian INS csc rom. The process went smooth and it actually changed my CSC to my local network CSC. Therefore, it is no longer ARO under OWO multi csc. It is now XFA CSC under OXM multi-csc. Phone is working OK without issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] donelwero:
Thanks, that's good to know. I'm actually really thinking about it. My only issue would be features available only on our "regional" csc. I'll have to think about it, still it's incredible that it can take up to two months for anyone responsible to release the update for our model/region. There's a post from Samsung in the Members app stating that the update wont be available until december.
