I have chosen INS and I live in a European country.
I need to switch back to EUX in order to register my bank's debit card linked to MasterCard. In addition, I am forced to go via EUX to be able to register all my membership cards at various stores, etc.
When I then switch to INS, the only card I have visible is my debit card.
I can pay with the debit card via Samsung Pay, but not sure if linked membership benefits can be obtained (eg you can get a discount on certain foods with a linked membership card if I pay with my physical debit card).
So seems like it doesn't work fully with Samsung Pay after all...

Hi,

i'm from France and i bought a S23 Ultra and Samsung wallet didn't work. I've understood that it's because my phone is not a french one.
I put the informations i have for this phone.

Can anyone please help me which CSC code I should pick in order for the Call recording etc to work?

I have Samsung S23 with;
SAOMC_SM-S911B_OXM_EUX_13_0046.
EUX/-/EUX/EUX (Sweden).

I've read that SEK enables Call recording and the other stuff. Should I use that or use another code?
Or should I use INS or ILO?
I honestly don't care about Samsung Pay (Spay), since I might use Google Pay instead.

INS have all. SPay, DigiKey, Call rec, CallID/spam, no reset, no data loss, add the 3 numbers to block list:
+919560345888
+918424098931
+919176905802
Hi can you please check the previous post i did? :)

Ohhhh and also, does INS have OTA updates?
According to this YouTube video we won't have any OTA if we use INS, and we are forced to manually update our device everytime there is s new update, is it true?

Yes , SEK doesn't have Call ID support natively. BUT , ILO has! I am in ILO some months already and I'm very satisfied. OTA updates are also well and fast working. Only Samsung Pay doesn't exist but I don't care as Google Pay is better.
If we pick ILO, does Google Pay work on that? :O

This video was for S22 series. (and was temporarily, not possible anymomore).

For S23 series INS, VVX, SEK, ILO, THL (not recommended at the mement).
I preffer and use INS on my S23 Ultra (everything works and updates).

(People asks SAME questions several times, refuse to read previous posts and expect personal answer.)

I'm sorry for asking, I just thought that everyone had different CSC codes depending on the model number :(

Why isn't INS, VVX, SEL, ILO, not recommendes at the moment?

I did read your previous posts, but couldn't find anyone with the same model number I have; SM-S911B. I just don't want to mess up my phone :(
Again I'm sorry for asking, I'm going to find the answer somewhere else If you don't want to help, i understand 🙏

Or just try out ILO, since I don't need Spay. I also read we need to block some numbers when using INS (like you wrote), but i think it will be better to just use ILO :D

Only THL not recommended. Others are OK.
Everything will work and update.

What is that text about..?
Here is the information about it:

 
What is that text about..?

Described several times!

Law or regulation, not sure, where is described - in India requires when new sim is inserted to send once automatically sms with the IMEI. This sms is free for cards in india.
For foreign sim cards if these numbers are not blocked - just one international sms price will be added in the bill - nothing scarry.

INS is the only CSC that have all features (Call recording, Hiya CallerID and Samsung Pay) enabled - and I used INS on my phones. Everyone is free to choose ;)

    Better:
    INS - callrec, callerID, spay
    THL - callrec, callerID
    XXV - callrec, spay

    Just to add that i've just found out that in my region is not necessary to change CSC anymore.

    For S23, using Brazil Retail (ZTO) now i have callrecording, hiya and spay from factory.

    Thank you. After flashing you mentioned I have to use Samfw tools to change active CSC toThl or xxv. Again please explain how to use the tool to change. I never done this before. I don't want to mess-up my phone currently my phone working perfectly. It's because of native call recorder only Thank you for your time.
    Really?!
    Why does everyone need specially and personally made instructions?! It has been explained in this thread several times. A simple youtube search (samfw csc change) shows even a visual.

    If you do not want to mess-up DO NOTHING !!!

    Can you give me an easy and specific guide to do it? I've never done it this way before. Only with samkey. Have you installed Sek on the s23 ultra?
    Yes , I used samfw for first time in my s23 ultra. The procedure is very easy and safe. I tried INS but then I changed to SEK for the reasons I explained before.
    In short:
    1. You enable ADB in your phone
    2. You download samfw to your windows PC and run it.
    3. Connect your s23 ultra with the PC through a cable.
    4. Run samfw , and press Tab adb in the program (it is the third tab in the upper place of the app).
    5. You will see a pop up menu with all available XOM multi- csc .
    6. Choose and right in the appropriate box the one you want (INS ,SEK etc).
    7. Press "change csc"
    8. It will appear a prompt saying dial *#1234#* (or something like that ) while the screen of your phone is looking like being in check mode( like the one you have in Samsung Member app when you want to make a check for some function).
    9. That's it. In seconds you have your new scs without data wiped!

    Short representation of current latest firmware S918BXXU1AWBD

    FYI (for your information):
    S918 - model
    B - region (U or U1 - US, W - Canada, 0 or 8- China, N - South Korea, B - Europe, E - rest world (for S23* B merged with E)
    XX - free, or operator specific
    U - updated features (OR) S - security only
    1 - bootloader version (firmware can be updated/downgraded only to same or bigger bootloader version)
    A - Android/UI sequence version - starts from A, B, C, ... (Z - beta test)
    W - year (... U - 2021, V - 2022, W - 2023, X - 2024, ... )
    B - month (A - January, B - February, ... L - December)
    D - internal compilation of the month (1...9,A...Z)

    S23 Ultra (SM-S918B) INS csc - new OTA ...WBD
    Call rec, Call ID/spam, SPay - works.

    Do no update to S91*BXXS2AWEA
    The firmware is not signed by Google Play Protect - so phone become UNCERTIFIED and Google Pay stops, other SafetyNet dependent also.

    At the moment only THL CSC is pushed to ...WEA. Others (at the moment) are on WD1.

    TThe is nonoption to downgrade because this is first firmware with new 2 bootloader.

    Deleting, Unistalling, Clearing data, even Factory reset do NOT avoid uncertified status.

    (There is a chance for updating Play Protect but it's less likely before Samsung new firmware.)

    Current option for already updated to WEA:
    Just wait for new WEx (after A) or WFx firmware.
