    • CSC: Use CSC for a clean install, to change the region (CSC code), to downgrade or to repair a device that does not boot.
    • HOME_CSC: Use HOME_CSC to update the same model and region while keeping your data. Back up anyway: a failed update can still require a reset.
    • The Download Mode key combo depends on the model: see all combos.
