Hey everyone,
I have an issue with my S10+ regarding software updates. Phone has been purchased in USA but I live in Albania and have not been able to once perform a software update OTA or through Smart Switch. By the end of 2019 I ran into a page that you could download the software and directly install it from SD card from accessing the menu by holding Bixby-VolUp-Lock. However sinde January 2020 they are no longer uploading software updates for S10+. Now I am stuck with January update on S-975USQS2CSL1 version. [ Login above or register to see download links. ]
Being in this situation I started to research a bit and found out about the CSC code. [ Login above or register to see download links. ]
I have tried to change the CSC code through *#272*IMEI number# (I get a message UNKNOWN APPLICATION) as well as through the reset from accessing menu by holding Bixby-VolUp-Lock but none has worked for me.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Don't play with *# codes...
Could you go to Software Info on your device, screenshot it from top to bottom and post it here?

Here you go
As a comparison this is the software info of my S20 purchased in Albania at official reseller

1. Download SmartSwitch for PC (NOT to be used, just for the drivers): [ Login above or register to see download links. ]
2. Download Odin 3.14.x: [ Login above or register to see download links. ]
3. Download latest firmware for S10+ Multi-CSC OYN: [ Login above or register to see download links. ]
How to flash firmware to your phone:
1. Extract (un-rar) the firmware file (i.e. to folder c:\Odin) ***
2. Download [ Login above or register to see download links. ]
3. Extract Odin ZIP file (i.e. to folder c:\Odin)
4. Open Odin v3.14.4
5. Power OFF your S10+
6. Reboot Phone in Download Mode: Hold down Vol-UP & Power; scroll in Recovery to "Boot to Bootloader". Connect your S10+ to your PC
7. Wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
8. Add the firmware files to their designated slots (AP in AP, BL in BL, CP in CP, HOME_CSC in CSC). USERDATA stays EMPTY!
9. Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
10. Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
Use SamMobile only if you are 100% sure about the risks involved in flashing your device. SamMobile is not responsible for any damage caused by using the files on this website.
Thanks on this, I will try it. Just to make sure, is this the correct file to download? [ Login above or register to see download links. ]
Btw, does this also solve the OTA updates? As it seems to me its only updating the current software but the CSC would remain the same.
That's the correct file; OTA-updates with US-phones is... grrrrrr
So: probably not
HOW to change my S10+ Country CSC from UAE to Aust
I have tried doing exactly this before finding this thread,
My s10+ has UAE as country,
I have ODIN3 3.14.4
I downloaded this firmware [ Login above or register to see download links. ]
and i cannot see any change, The CSC is still XSG (UAE) why does it not change to XSA ( Aust)
I did not remove my sim throughout the process ( and used HOME_CSC)
I need this to allow my Samsung Pay to work correctly,
How do i make this FW change my CSC to XSA as per the FW file ???
