List of Samsung Galaxy CSC Country Specific code for country or region1

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 donโ€™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.

CSC stands for Country Specific Code. It is unique for each country or region or network carrier.

    So am I able to downgrade from Samsung Experience version 9.0 to 8.5 using Odin? Before and after the update, I was using Oreo. SE 9.0 messed up a bunch of things on my phone and took away some highly used functions that 8.5 had. So far I haven’t found any method to downgrading the samsung experience version as every downgrade post is about going from Oreo to Nougat, etc.

    Hi, I have s7 edge from Vodafone(South Africa). It has multiple CSC codes but XFV is the only active. Can I install Vodafone (UK) Oreo Update, retaining my Home_CSC? Is this safe? Please help… Thank you.

    So what’s code for usa?

      11 branded codes and 2 unbranded.
      “Unlocked” sold by Samsung come flashed with XAA, but they have all the others preloaded in the multi-CSC file.
      When one of the carriers SIM gets detected, the phone flashes the radio firmware that’s appropriate for that carrier.
      When a different country SIM gets detected, the XAA is flashed back. It activates all the available bands for maximum compatibility.
