What is CSC?

CSC (Consumer Software Customization) defines the regional settings and carrier-specific features on a Samsung device. It controls:

Available firmware updates

Pre-installed carrier apps

Network compatibility (VoLTE, 5G bands, etc.)

Samsung Pay, Call Recording etc..

 

⚠️ Important Notes

You may lose access to region-specific features.

This process may void your warranty in some regions.

Proceed at your own risk.

 

Requirements

A Samsung Galaxy device ( carrier-unlocked)

Windows Computer

Data Cable to Connection between galaxy and Windows Computer

Internet Connection ( for download the required tool )

Patience – some steps require reboot and setup.

 

I will explain the easiest method of CSC changing, there are other workarounds but this is the easiest way:

1. Disable Auto Blocker ( New Galaxy Devices has this security feature )

  • First Go to Settings > Security and Privacy 
1. Go to Settings.png
  • Then toggle off Auto Blocker
2. Auto Blocker Turn Off.png

 2. After go back and Go to About Phone > Software Information
  • Tap 7 times rapidly on Build Number to open the hidden developer options menu 
  • 3. build number tap 10 times .png
     After hitting give the device lock screen credentials to enable developer options

6. On usb debug.png

4. Download SamFW tool

5. Install the Software on you Windows PC ( You need to temporary disable the windows defender )

6. Then connect the Galaxy Device and Your PC using the Data Cable

  • After connect in the Software it will show as follows
7. Connect PC and IT shows.png

7. On other hand in the Galaxy Device there is a connection request 
  • Allow the connection
8. Allow connection.png

8. After it connects Choose Samsung and Go to MTP and Select Change CSC form the menu that shows device supported CSCs

9.  click change csc.png

9. This is the most Crucial step to consider.
  • There are So many CSCs , choose the correct one is totally on your choice. I will mention some of most common used ones with their features below.
  • List of CSC codes that enable native Call recording with/and SPay on Samsung ROMs. This is the list:
Sri Lanka (SLK) - Call Rec only

Bangladesh (BNG) - Call Rec only
Thailand (CAM/MYM/THL) - Call Rec+ SPay
Egypt (EGY) - Call Rec only
Israel (ILO) - Call Rec only
Laos (LAO) - Call Rec only
Libya (BTC/LYS) - Call Rec only
Nepal (NPL) - Call Rec only
Allergy (TMC/WTL) - Call Rec only
Tunisia (TUN) - Call Rec only
Vietnam (XXV) - Call Rec + SPay

10. Special Notes:
  • With build numbers: if you currently using software build version that is lover than your desired CSC, then it is no problem you can just follow above methods OTA updates works fine.
  • If not you have to manually flash the firmware for the CSC required region to gain OTA updates.
  • In Sri Lankan market there are mostly having OXM multi CSC devices. ( KSA, EUX, INS, XSG all included ) - can easily change the CSC to SLK
 If you have a carrier locked devices you cannot change the CSC

My CSC is OLM
Couldn't find anywhere about it
Tech Expert
As of my knowledge, OLM CSC is primarily used for Sri Lanka. OLM belongs to the OXM multi-CSC Group

I changed my CSC from XSG to SLK on my Galaxy S23 device using Samfw few months back, the thing which i noticed is after changing the CSC code, the CSC will only be changed the firmware will still stay the same until a OTA update arrives to sync the rest of the stuff and galaxy AI may have errors so i recommend you to factory reset your device after the next firmware update after changing the CSC.

Good advice,

but I did not face this kind of issue.

Before resetting, wiping the cache partition will help.

Helpful for everyone.
I previously thought CSC stand for Country Specific Code.
Tech Expert
Thank you😊❤. It can used like that because Samsung does not specify the term for CSC officially.
