Note 9 N960FD Dual SIM CSC Change Flash to T-Mobile or ANY CSC - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi all, with this guide I will show you how I adapted yakapa40's CSC change guide to work for my dual SIM Note 9 to get it from Singtel CSC to T-Mobile USA
All credit goes to TEKHD
and yakapa40 and bober10113
if you want to go to T-Mobile just flash this. Confirmed this works on FD devices on o3 Dr. Ketan Rom
http://tekhd.com/detonator/#tmodetonator
I will be testing VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling and speeds shortly.
VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling confirmed worked on T-Mobile with my 512GB FD!!!!!! TEKHD Detonator
DO NOT FOLLOW BELOW GUIDE: I tried to do this on o3 Dr. Ketan rom it did not work. If you follow past this line you are at your own risk.
I accept no liability to what you do to your device, however this worked for me. Please backup your device in full (ALL PARTITIONS with TWRP)
You will need a rooted device!!!!
First you need to download this to convert your dual sim device to USA variants
USE ES file explorer (it retains the permissions of the files, I will also show all the permissions of the files too)
SM-N960U OYN multi CSC ( ATT BST CCT CHA GCF SPR TMB USC VMU VZW XAA XAS )
by default : XAA

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cF4_l6aIGvGwtxg1O9cHonEFiCEzJaR8/view?usp=sharing
This was all done on Dr. Ketan rom, with ES File Explorer
So follow these instructions substituting TMB for ATT or whatever you desire if you don't want the TMB
DISCLAIMER: For some reason I haven't got wifi calling working, if you know why please share!!
Only add the CSC folders you need: if switching to USA CSC with above file copy the XAA folder, and the desired CSC I used TMB to /odm/omc/
(to modify this to a different carrier than TMB go to the CSC pack you downloaded and check that SW_configuration.xml file for ATT info or whatever you like)
with a file explorer open system/odm/omc/SW_Configuration.xml
line : <NbCustomer>83</NbCustomer> : change value+1 (84)
add or copy/paste line : <CustomerData src="/Customer/TMB/customer.xml" />

copy /paste folder TMB and XAA to /odm/omc/
open /odm/omc/sales_code_list.dat
add TMB to the CSC list
open /odm/omc/sales_code.dat
and edit to the desired CSC, I changed mine to TMB
edit the code file in /odm/omc with text editor to the desired CSC file
edit the CSCVersion.txt file in /odm/omc/ to the CSC pack system build # if you downloaded the above pack for TMB or USA carriers copy this : N960UOYN1ARG6
edit the build.prop in /odm/
in the first line you will have to change your build version to N960UOYN1ARG6 (if you are switching to the USA csc pack with the above link)
skip the second line
on the third line make sure its like the picture
on the fourth line just remove all text until the = sign and then just add your CSC
on the fifth line just make sure it says FALSE
I had to create this file with es file explorer (click the three dots, and create new file. Then name the file omc_region
inside the file you created just type the CSC group you downloaded (above link for USA csc pack is XAA group)
good job doing all that stuff to your CSC
now navigate to /efs/imei/
there are supposed to be four files and all need to be edited.
in /efs/imei/ the first file mps_code.dat needs to be changed to the desired CSC, I put mine to TMB
in efs/imei/ i had two omcnw_code.dat files I just deleted the second one and edited the first one to the desired CSC which was TMB for me.
edit prodcode.dat in /efs/imei to the new csc package, the USA build # N960UOYN1ARG6
the last file you need to edit is replace_code.dat in /efs/imei
change it to the desired CSC, again mine is TMB
booooom!!!!! if you have made it this far with my bad guide give yourself a pat on the back, and reboot your phone! Hopefully the new splash screen will show and you can use your FD device in the USA with the CSC you wish!!
Here are the permissions on all the files that were modified incase a different file explorer doesn't retain the original file permissions or you had to create files
Here enjoy this final picture showing the csc which was actually listed as MMI or something in settings now is TMB

hey thanks for the write up.Did you get wifi calling to work by chance.I changed my SM-N960N csc to AT&T everything working but cant get wifi calling to work its not greyed out or anything.I get a message IMS service has stopped which I believe is something message related then just keep telling me to try again later,any fix yet,THANKS AGAIN

glad someone was able to make a cleaner version of my dodgy instructions.
also note that editing SW_Configuration.xml is meaningless because you can simply copy paste it from the region/carrier omc folder you want to change to. infact you can simply copy over whole contents of omc from new region tou want to change to and replace thise files on phone. then, go edit them to specific carrier codes since stock files point to region code instead of a specific csc. take the opportunity to delete all unneeded subfolders in omc since they are from other carriers. ( replacing files = lost oermissions so remember org permissions and set them back)
by replacing ALL omc files you end up really changing all files to that specific carrier/region and not use partial old original csc and part new csc. just a suggestion as to not end up with a franken-xsc but hey do what ever works for you...
in odm HWRDB are keyboard languages matching region. so it can also be a good thing to copy over if your are missing keyboards.
also people, stop quoting first post... takes 2 minutes to scroll.
OP maybe use the spoiler function to hide them pictures..
also for any one else wanting to get their own files.
grab stock fimware you want to change to from where ever,
extract odm.md5 with 7zip then use the utilities at the following link to unpack and then uncompress img( the bigger 300mb or so file in there is the one we want to work with) so use the 2 tools here to get access to the actual odm/omc/csc folders and files:
https://1drv.ms/f/s!AhXVLDDj8g3AgdJZvVHcXqqlKgy0dg
now you can change to any region/carrier. if they update then you can repeat OP procedure with the latest files. so you're not stuck using old out of date files.

This is great, but what if the benefit of doing so if voLTE AND wifi calling don't work after

I got volte, it says HD+ on my calls. Also I now have 4g LTE and not H+. Something has happened. I'll try bober's idea of copying all the stuff and see if WiFi calling gets enabled.

Still low signal and slow speed?

Inside my newly built house (10 years) the insulation is so strong I get poor cell service. At another family member's home I get no service. I'll try when I am outside to post speed test results.
Also FYI: my brothers S8 on T-Mobile (branded USA) gets the same reception as my Note 9 inside.

Damn you guys live in lead houses? [emoji3] I appreciated it, I don't wanna drop 900$ for slow LTE speeds and poor signal even outside.

It has come to my attention that you can just copy the folders "omc" "etc" and just reboot. I also missed the copying etc step in my above guide so please do that too!

Very odd. Something is definitely missing / not configured for yours. I need to get to an area with decent cell coverage to actually test my 3 different devices from the same location.

Try fast.com, you'll probably get different results

This internation note 9 has better bands support for tmobile usa than my pixel xl. So it will be an upgrade for me.

when using speedtest app, you might want to try and manualy select a server instead of letting the app do it. i have a preferred server that i know always yeilds the fastest and most consistent result for my region.
On a PC, test a few and figure out which is the best and then use that one to test on your phone
also, i believe csc only has apn settings and nothing more to help signal.In the new csc youd want to switch to there is a sipdb folder that might or might not have anything to with reception.In the IT field, SIP is related to VoIP so these files might be needed for Volte.
in phones original firmware, cp is the modem files so if a new version is out, you guys might want to flash CP in odin to get on the latest.( not CP from your desired csc but for your actual device.
on my part, had done my own procedure successfully a while ago.
Anyone else having issues with current guide should try to copy EVERYTHING(except lost and app folders) from odm. I had covered this in not so much details but with keeping in mind to copy over everything and looking at the example pictures and with logic and knowledge, confident anyone can get their csc up and running properly:

Is there is a way to create my own CSC files where i can add sale code. I have unzipped cache.rfs from my operator (in my case it's Panama PCW) and copied all setting to "system" (include csc directory, CSCFiles.txt, CSC Version.txt and SW_Configuration.xml). Then i update SW_Configuration.xml to every other sale code file, so my question is how to put it back to cache.rfs and then back to CSC file. I would appreciate any help. The reason, that Panama Cable and wireless will never do any firmware update and just setting correct APN not always work, since there is much more in custom param to make it work, like MTU size, MMS, setting etc.
Thank you very much

The way i would have carried out the task is to cook a rom in the rom kitchen .
Download it and unzip it .
Change CSC and anything else .
Then use Update.Zip to rezip the file and sign it .
Then flash via CWM .

In case you flashed a non multi-csc ROM and now are missing your CSC you can do this:
1. Get hold of an old ROM update package. Open it up and browse to /system/csc
2. Copy your regional CSC folder(in your case GLB) from that archive to your phone SD card.
3. Dive into a root explorer on the phone (make sure 'system' is mounted as writable) and copy the folder you have in Step-2 to your phone's /system/csc
4. Dial *#272*{your imei number goes here}# and install your CSC.
Hope that helped.
Cheers.

Thanks for the steps, Im not able to do this right now but will do when I have time.

Hello,
trying to repair an error that is bugging me to hell. When you run the recovery than thers a thing, this thing (error '/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 (I9070MOTLE2) and get rid of the the Multi one.
And yes, does any one know why is my stock recovery written in red - is this normal? Da faq ;/
Thanks in Advance

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.

Hello, I'm looking for ways to eliminate MULTI CSC, but I have not found anything.

Many users wanted to flash their own CSC on custom ROM. Here is small guide how to get original CSC from base and add to custom ROM.
1.Download your desired ROM from SamMobile (OR use if you have any base already with you from same region)
2.Extract zip to get tar.md5 - again extract it to get cache.img.
3.Get Img Extractor from here Extract exe file on a new folder. copy extracted Cache.img in this folder as well.
4.Drag and drop cache.img you have extracted from base on ImgExtractor.exe
5.You will see newly created folder cache.img_ along with exe
6.Open cache.img_ - recovery - sec_csc folder, you will see system folder. - Drag and drop that system folder on you desktop.
7.Now download csc_changer_new.zip template from here and drag and drop system folder on root of zip. (so after this when you open zip you should see three folders data, META-INF and system)
8.Flash that zip immediately after flashing ROM.
Update : Updated script so it will auto backup all ROM CSC features and auto restore after changing CSC

Repo
Here is sample ready made pack. (you can submit if you make for your region)
1.India CSC for N910G - Download and flash zip immediately after flashing ROM.
2.DBT CSC - Download and flash zip immediately after flashing ROM
.

Updated script so user have not to manually copy ROM CSC features.
.

thx doc.

Your download link drops csc_N910G_India.zip.exe which is malware, WTF?

Thank you for your reply...
I put both files on my desktop and then dropped the file onto the .exe.
It seemed to do something but still no folder.

Log saying folder created. Look again folder somewhere on desktop. Better you make new folder and put exe inside it then drop cache.img so it's can easily located inside that new folder

Okey dokey, I think I'll settle this once and for all.
@catseyenu was using the wrong download link. As you can see from going to the download page there are 2 download buttons, the first which says "Download" is a fake download link and will redirect you to another site and try to get you to download some sort of software in .exe form.
The correct link is the one that says "Download Now" which I have verified this and was able to download it without any problems.
With Dev-Host it is a case of knowing which download link to press. On a side note, our (XDA's) partnership with Dev-Host has ended due to them not wanting to control the ads that they have and often redirecting users to other sites and trying to get them to download possibly malicious software. Due to this I would encourage the OP to use other file hosts such as AndroidFileHost for example.

Thank you Jonny for clarifying the status of the malicious host.

Actually for small Download I also prefer mega which is now a days offers highest Download speed and most users prefer it. Initially I have posted link was mega. But I need to update it and particularly this file targeted for Indian users, and many provider in India have blocked mega so this time I made dev host upload.
For rom I prefer dev /pCloud and Media fire bcoz all three gives Web upload (remote uoload) option so I can provide three mirrors by uploading at one place.
Again thank you very much for being with us always.

One question: Can i loss some tweaks or features of the custom ROM flashing my original CSC files?

dr.ketan said:
Many users wanted to flash their own CSC on custom ROM. Here is small guide how to get original CSC from base and add to custom ROM.
1.Download your desired ROM from SamMobile (OR use if you have any base already with you from same region)
2.Extract zip to get tar.md5 - again extract it to get cache.img.
3.Get Img Extractor from here Extract exe file on a new folder.
4.Drag and drop cache.img you have extracted from base on ImgExtractor.exe
5.You will see newly created folder cache.img_ along with exe
6.Open cache.img_ - recovery - sec_csc folder, you will see system folder. - Drag and drop that system folder on you desktop.
7.Now download csc_changer_new.zip template from here and drag and drop system folder on root of zip. (so after this when you open zip you should see three folders data, META-INF and system)
8.Flash that zip immediately after flashing ROM.
Update : Updated script so it will auto backup all ROM CSC features and auto restore after changing CSC

German CSC for N910F
Hey Guys,
if anybody is looking for the german csc you can download it from here: http://workupload.com/file/Km2FjCof
I made it according to dr. ketans explanation. Just one thing when I go into phone info / CSC-Code it states:
Original CSC.-Code: INU
Firmware CSC-Code: DBT
Active CSC Code: INU/ DBT
Available CSC.-Codes: BTU, CPW, DBT, ITV, KOR, XEF, XEO
CSC Country: Germany/DE
Do I need to use the csc changer apk and therefore wipe everything? Or am I good even though active CSC is Indian and German??
I am on Nameless Rom 4.2 and the reason for me doing this was because of the message I receive on every boot up stating: Texting just got better.... Where you need to give your mobile number (you can also just click 2 times on no but thats not an option for me) But even after I flashed my CSC zip it still shows up.
@dr. Ketan do you have a solution or did i do something wrong? I did it step by step. Hope to receive an answer.

Probably that is issue of rom and not csc.
Indian csc causing send a text message to Indian number that should be fixed (on latest nameless I think prefixed) by changing csc

I solved with the csc changer app, i switched to dbt and had to wipe everything. Restored my apps and date with titanium backup, now i am running with german csc on nameless rom 4.2
And the texting got better pop up disappeared

CSC Note 5
I tried this on my new note 5. I flashed a TMOBILE rom and that totally screws with csc and features. This does work in the sense that it brings back my multi csc for my Canadian note. However where I get the problems is similar to the gentleman above. It only partially applies the csc that I need. When I flash the zip. It attributes a generic out of the US csc XAC. When i try something like Phone info Samsung to change it to RWC. It only changes where its says active csc and it still shows XAC as also active. ANd firmware csc and original csc still show as XAC. Why when i flash the stock rom does it default to RWC eventhough the csc files are the same, but with a custom rom XAC?

I flashed a custom S8 CSC zip made for the Note 8 to prevent the OEM lock option from vanishing after installing a custom recovery and superuser. Worked wonderfully but now I've got these options in my settings menu that are of no use to me, any file I can edit to remove/hide them?

That means the CSC is not fully set. What exactly did you use? The omc folder needs to have a CSC matching whatever is set on the efs partition in mps_code.dat and omcnw_code.dat
If there isn't a proper match you will see extra menu options and apps from the various carriers the firmware was meant for.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-how-to-root-note8-efs-backup-t3677038 On this thread towards the bottom he mentions about flashing the s8 csc for the OEM issue. My CSC is XFA and I flashed the XID.zip he links to, but it seems XFA isn't in either of the two available options.
