I want to change the CSC code for my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra for less bloatware, and Google Assistant available. The firmware I wanted to update: SM-G9980, Hong Kong, 2023-09-03, G9980ZHU5EWH6, 13. My phone's current build: G9980ZCU5EWH6. I used Odin v3.13.1, but I tried multiple versions, as well as the patched one, with failure. Here is the full traceback of the error:
