How to Get OTA Updates After Changing Samsung CSC

If you want to change your Samsung phone’s CSC to unlock more features, you might worry about losing OTA (Over-The-Air) updates. This guide will show you how to keep getting updates even after changing your CSC.

Samsung phones have different features depending on where you live. These include Samsung Pay, Samsung Wallet, call recording, call assistant, and language options. The CSC (Country Specific Code) in your phone’s software controls these features. Changing the CSC can sometimes bring back paused updates or cause problems if not done correctly.

Here’s how to change your CSC and still get OTA updates.

Important Tips for Changing CSC

Changing your CSC can give you new features, but it can also cause network problems and stop future updates. Be careful when changing your CSC. Samsung CSCs fall into three main types:

1. Open CSC
2. Carrier CSC
3. Country or OEM CSC

If your phone has a carrier-specific CSC, do not change it. If your CSC is Open or Country-specific, you can switch to another CSC without losing network settings.

There is also a Multi-CSC type. This type includes many Open CSCs for different countries. Here are some examples:

• ODD: Includes ETR, INS, INU, NPL, SLK, TML
• OJP: Includes BTC, EGY, JED, KOR, KSA, MAT, MED, MID, MMV, MWD, PAK, THR, WAN, XSG, XSS
• OXA: Includes BTU, CPW, DBT, ITV, KOR, XEF, XEO

To learn more, check our detailed list of Samsung CSC codes. You can switch between CSCs in the same set. For example, if your phone’s CSC is EUX from OXM Multi-CSC, you can change it to INS or BTU without issues.
