Galaxy S II bought in CPW in London
when I press *#1234#:
PDA: I9100XWKF3
PHONE: I9100XXKE7
CSC: I9100CPWKD1
Build Info: Thu Jun 9 18:16:44 KST 2011
Also I want to revert the CSC to XEU as that is the default U.K Samsung Android CSC but
When I do the *#272*IMEI#
I only get CPW CSC Code as an option. I want to use Kies to firmware update the latest U.K XEU Firmwares but I can't change CSC since I only have CPW.
XDA ...have any Ideas?
Greatly appreciated

No one?? @[email protected]
i think you have a Carphone warehouse branded handset...thats why your CSC is not XEU which as you mentioned is for unbranded UK handsets.
Maybe please change your query/subject to how to de-brand the handset...and someone knowledgeable here might help

And when we say which firmware we have do you mean by PDA: or PHONE: or CSC:?

Generic stock Samsung is KG6 not official kies release .
And when we say which firmware we have do you mean by PDA:
PDA = firmware Phone = modem CSC = country settings .

I have exactly the same device identity having also purchased it from CPW. However, i assumed that my device was unbranded... Is this not the case?

Ok guys.
Let me get this straight to all those confused.
CPW sell Unbranded phones even with contract. Their phones can be used with anyother network.
But still I believe CPW do still have their own firmware on it.
Yes it is debranded Galaxy S II. But still, it isn't XEU (STOCK UK FIRMWARE) it is CPW (Carphone Warehouse FIRMWARE)
That is why I was asking what the latest XEU Firmware out "Officially" on kies is.
Because the latest CPW Firmware is = KF3

I have a UK generic phone (unbranded in each sense). This is what i have on phone and its the latest on KIES (as of this morning). KIES says its the latest firmware.
PDA :I9100XWKF3

I went from T-Mobile UK to stock using * THIS *.
Changes:
I downloaded Odin 1.85 instead of 1.83.
I downloaded the KE7 ROM (XWKE7 - Generic XEU) * HERE *
Completed the steps through to number 8.
Finally I rooted the phone * HERE * following the instructions and using the KE7 kernel.

Latest firmware for that product code and i would guess that KF3 is the latest general release via Kies .

I got mine on Orange and flashed the latest firmware using Odin a few days ago, mine says:
PDA: XWKE7
PHONE: XXKE4
CSC: XEUKD1
These samsung ones are so confusing compared to HTC!
Those who are reporting that they have a generic stock U.K firmware on a debranded GSII with :
PDA: XWKE7
PHONE: XXKE4
CSC: XEUKD1
Is this the latest from Samsung kies?
Please all *#272*IMEI# and tell me what CSC's you have
Hello
I have unbranded Galaxy S II, with CSC "XEU".
Latest upgrade through Kies I had at September, and now firmware is:
Europe XEU - I9100XWKI4 / I9100XEUKH2 (Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread)
Since than no more updates were available in Kies...
Does anybody know if this will change?
I see Europe firmwares for CSC "OXA", but for this I should probably first use Odin to change firmware.
What is difference between "XEU" and "OXA" in general?

You get updates when you get them is the simple answer .

YES

XEU = UK
OXA = Poland

They are just region codes.
CSC's just have APN settings and maybe some operator specific apps, any region specific rom will work anywhere in the world.
Hi
Is there general CSC for Europe?
If:
"XEU = UK; OXA = Poland"
Than really there is no new update for UK?
2.3.4 is letest Android?
somehow funny

Can someone confirm, that unbranded SGSII from UK has latest Androind 2.3.4?
Nothing I'm complaining about, its really stable and working OK.
But little sorrow there were updates for other CSC...
Btw, how to change CSC when multi-csc is not installed (*#727*IMEI# is displaying XEU only, is not accepting OXA)

CSC is not the update path .Product code is .

Flash a CSC from the stock roms and CSC thread .
CSC IS country specific settings a few files that give local networks details and settings and is not even required for a phone to work .

Hey guys!
Are there any real advantages of changing the CSC to the 'right' one? Currently, I'm on Omega 8.1 with CSC: EUR, and since I live in Sweden, I'd originally have one of these (according to this list):
Code:
ODK (SWEDEN) XEE (SWEDEN) HTS (SWEDEN) VDS (SWEDEN) NEE (SWEDEN)
My phone is working good at the moment, so I'm mainly asking this out of curiosity.
So..
1) Are there any advantages of changing the CSC?
2) If so, which one of the five codes above should I use?
Thanks for reading.

I have been discussing a similar question about Samsung Tab 7.7. My understanding is that no-one cares apart from Kies software. CSC is Samsung's invention for customizing software for a particular country or carrier. It adds certain access points for mobile data connections and in worst case scenario you have to configure them yourself. If I have EU firmware on my HK tab then I will not get updates from Kies and that is about it. As far as I can't stand Kies at all and always update using Mobile Odin then I don't give a damn what kind of CSC is assigned to my tab or phone.
CSC is a list of network connection settings and if branded may contain some brand supplied apps .
No CSC phone works but may need network settings entered by user .
Official Updates yes CSC is part of the required pattern of codes supplied to match firmware on the server . But this is XDA we dont do Kies .

The only sensible thing to do with Kies is to uninstall it
Allright, and since I don't use Kies either, I guess CSC is completely irrelevant. Thanks for the answers!
hi. my friend bought a galaxy s3 from europe but i think what he got is carrier specific. its sales code is VOD so i think it is a Vodafone carrier specific phone. you can check the details in the image attached.
now we are planning to change the sales code (or CSC?) from VOD to XTC since we are from philippines.
we tried to flash a firmware for philippine region into his s3, we used the firmware I9300XXBLH1.
after that, upon checking CSC through *#272*imei#* we have found out that its sales code is still VOD and theres no available CSC to choose. ( we hoped the sales code would be XTC after flashing the firmware from philippines)
unfortunately, kies did not recognized his phone and the messaging service is not responding, so we flashed back again the original firmware (I9300BUBLG3).
is there still a way for it to be an XTC? we want it to be I9300XXBLH1
thanks for the help.
Hi,
I have 2 Galaxy S2's here, one with SCS code XEN (Netherlands) and one with SEB(Baltic).
I want them both at a europe SCS code so I get the same updates on both devices.
If I check it via *#272*IMEI# I can choose on the SEB device to different countries (for example spain or france).
I do want to get the same updates on both devices so I have to change the SEB device to a europe country.
If I change the SCS code to spain (for example) would I get the OTA's which are in spain?
And if I change it, would my device be wiped?
I'm still at stock firmware (4.0.3) but would like to update to 4.0.4 just as the other device.
Thanks in advance.
