Changing CSC without root

[the_OZONE]

Is it possible to change CSC with the end result being unrooted? By this I mean if it requires me to root in order to change CSC that is okay, but then can I unroot while keeping the CSC I changed to? The reason I ask is because I want to be able to use banking and other apps (I've read that root prevents these apps from working) but at the same time I want to have wifi calling and voLTE for my carrier.

Right, without root, all you need to do, visit sammobile and download then flash the compatible image from the carrier you want to switch to. However, be aware, of hardware limitations i.e.) you cannot flash a snapdgragon fw on a exynos phone for example.

Now if you had root on the other hand, you can do this in a matter of mins and not loose any files.

I wanted to use a CSC that allows AT&T wifi calling and voLTE. This thread https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-v1-0-0-t3605264 shows that it is possible to flash USA Multi-CSC using TWRP and root, which includes AT&T. So is it possible to have this CSC on the G955F while being unrooted? If it requires me to root and then unroot in order to change the CSC, I would be okay with that too as long as the CSC stays.

Based on what you said, I'm assuming the answer is no because the AT&T variant is the snapdragon variant, so I'm guessing that means the CSC wouldn't be supported in exynos unless flashed via root and then remaining rooted. Correct?

if you have Exynos phone you got root as an option

Right, but the problem is that with root I won't have access to banking and other apps. So I was hoping maybe I'd be able to root, flash the CSC, then unroot and find a way to keep the CSC. Basically, on exynos, I want to be able to have the AT&T CSC and banking apps at the same time.

i have the 955FD with an ATT CSC and Wifi calling isn't working and i can't visually tell if VoLTE is working. next step is to get an ATT imei assigned to my number to see if that fixes it. bottom line, changing to ATT CSC is not guaranteed to get the aforementioned services working on your 955F.

Root it , fix it and get voLTE then use hideroot to hide root on that banking apps .

What do you mean with "Factory Imei"? It's a menu or something? In phone dialer that code doesn't work...

 

[deltacharlie]

Same question here what does "Factory Imei"? It's a menu or something?

Also in step 3 assuming you have to put the CSC of the new CSC area you want. Also usually you flash CSC and not HOME_CSC. In this case it is reverse, any reason why ?

i have same objective as yours, i have SM-G9550 which is hongkong variant (non-root) and it is snap with 6gb pf ram and 128gb of rom. I want to change CSC to Thailand (THL) to use VOLTE and VOWIFI. But problem is Thai variant is EXYNOS paired with 4gb of ram and 64gb of rom. So is there anyway to work this without root as i need to use Knox and samsung pay so root will deatroy it correct?

You could try from the phone dialer: *#243203855# that's to change CSC, keep in mind it will reset your phone so make a backup first. The screenshot shows CSC for Canada since I'm in Canada.

You can change the CSC region successfully using @ngominh's method.
But you have to find "The Combination" file for your phone to do it and that
is usually a "Paid" firmware which is different than your normal stock firmware!
You find that and you can change the CSC successfully!

Type *#272*IMEI#

It will show list of available csc

Then choose the csc you want

It will factory reset device


Back up all files and try
