Table of Contents show

When it comes to Samsung Android phones, firmware update files and their exact names is very important. The firmware build number for Samsung devices is categorized into two sections, namely, PDA and CSC. The PDA consists of the update build number with Android system changes and the CSC consists of country specific changes. So all the global changes to the core TouchWiz or Samsung Experience 8.1 is contained within the PDA number. Whereas, the CSC is more of a country or network carrier specific update log for features like wallpapers, wifi calling, VoLTE, sounds etc.

You don’t have to worry about CSC if you are simply downloading OTA updates officially from Samsung. However, for advanced users who like to root their Samsung device via latest TWRP recovery, may need to restore the device to complete stock at some point in order to update their device manually. Like to a newer version of Android 7.1.1 Nougat. For this, you will need the full stock firmware and flash it using the latest Odin tool (specifically designed for Samsung phones). So in order to download the exact firmware file for your device, you need to know the CSC version as well.
