[GUIDE] How to get into the beta program on the exynos model anywhere in europe

[byseby]

Requirements
GalaxyS8/S8+
Odin (i used 3.12.3)
A UK sim card (i used Lycamobile)(lyca is available in almost every country in europe)
Aqh3 firmware and UK csc (i used samfirm to download)

Instructions
Use odin toflash UK firmware and BTU csc
boot into it and use sim tool app to change region to uk
Go to samsung members and enroll in the beta
wait a few minutes and go to settings, software updates and download manually(it takes between 5-15 minutes for the update to appear so be patient)

if it still doesn't work flash the csc collection and choose btu then start again

Is it required to flash the UK CSC? Because if I do I won't be able to use Samsung Pay, right?

What about knox? 0x0 or 0x1

 

[j3tstream]

Shouldn't being the word here [emoji6] haha. No but I mean the app would think that I'm in UK and I can't add my cards since I'm from Sweden, right? [emoji848]

Totally forgot about being able to change region with lyca, thank you so much op!

 

[MindlessNevada]

I have a Lyca sim card but I can't change my CSC, where did you get the BTU CSC from?

 

[h4cked]

same issue here...
cant change csc code to BTU

 

[mata77]

also here, with itv csc.. not change

 

[byseby]

you can change csc trough odin, just download the btu version with samfirm tool

 

[krisu253]

I have OXM multi csc. So it changes when I insert specific sim card. Will it change to UK after inserting Lyca sim?

Thanks. This is what I wanted to know

I used samfirm to download BTU firmware, flashed it (4 files) with Odin with Leyca sim configured to UK but my csc is still XEO, not BTU

after 2 days of struggle i did it without root
first, you need a UK sim or lycamobile sim.
0. remove any sim from phone
1. flashed BTU firmware
2. flashed Combination firmware COMBINATION_FA70_G955FXXU1AQE3 with HOME_CSC from BTU firmware
3. After boot, entered in factory Imei and input *#243203855#, choose BTU, wait for changes to be done
4. reflashed BTU firmware and insert your uk sim
4.5 if you have a lyca sim, go into simtoolkit and change region to uk
5. install samsung members app and log-in with you samsung account and you should see in notice Beta enrollment

i'm here if you have more questions

No way to root for the sake of getting a beta version which will eventually come to all S8+ phones later (or the final version), but thanks for sharing.

I said without root
My Knox counter is still 0

Omg, I only missed the most important word in your comment.

Sorry for my silly message then and thank you!
