Hi Guys
Apologies in advance if this is a duplication of the existing thread. I hope this information will be useful for newbies. Can somebody please explain in details:
1. What CSC is? What kind of information is stored in those files? Here I would appreciate an extended answer or a link to the detailed explanation.
2. How to find out the list of changes in a specific CSC version and difference with compared to previous version I have installed?
3. How to read CSC version and what those letter mean?
I will give you an example:
There are 3 different I9100XWKE7 stock firmwares on samsfirmware. All are called the same and the only difference is in CSC part:
MULTI - CSC - XEUKD1
MULTI - CSC - CPWKD1
MULTI - CSC - ITVKE5
4. How do I find out what the difference is and what those letters/digits at the end mean to determine which CSC version suits me best?
I would appreciate the answer to all 3 questions above and a recommendation on 4 to determine which one suits best my phone. I am based in the UK and am on O2 if CSC has something to do with the region and cellular network.
Thanks
Stas
CSC = country specific code ties phone to network and country .
There is no detailed explanation CSC contains a number of files as above text/XML
Versions listed on www.samfirmware.com might also be listed here with a search .
XEUKD1 = Europe
CPWKD1 = Carphone warehouse
ITVKE5 = Italy
. How do I find out what the difference is and what those letters/digits at the end mean to determine which CSC version suits me best?
samfirmware have the list
O2 you use the O2 CSC thaqt came with the phone or XEU .

thanks mate. Another quick question... Do you know how to check the existing CSC version? *#1234# works well for me on KDD while it does not work on my friend's device. He's on KE1.
noobie alarm ,
what is the multi csc for ? when i change mine to another csc via *#272#....... Kies tells me that my firmware version can't be updated, why is that?
i would be grateful for ur answer ;-)

Alright,
new to the Android world... and have my S2 in hand...
Go to the xda-developer section and look through, and think I'm ready to Flash
however, figured I'd make sure I have stock ROM to back to so I look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278&highlight=i9100
And I find that I have:
PDA: XWKE2
Phone: XXKDJ
Kernel says 2.6.35.7-i9100XWKE2-CL 187606 [email protected] #2
but my CSC (which I found by getting to the Sellout SMS Service menu) is
GT-i9100LKACOA
Problem is, I cannot find this CSC listed in any of the locations... (think my CSC is LKA based on that menu information)
Am I missing something basic here? (I probably am, and will gladly take the noob slap I deserve)
Would it matter which kernel I go with (think I should use MultiCSC OXXKE2, but that is not a direct match that I can tell, in fact I think it is the next kernel version from OXX to OXW?)
Thanks!
Ross
Pick CSC to match the area /country where phone is in use .
or dont bother with a CSC put your network details in manually if needed .
jje
Type *#1234# and it will tell you your PDA Phone And CSC.
Ok.
Flashed and rooted... the 1234 gave me a completely different CSC than that other menu. Thanks much!

Guys,
I have the I9100XWKK5 build on my SGS2, and it runs beautifully. The only issue is that I don't have XEU in the CSC (i9100XXKJ3).
My question is, is there a way to just flash a new CSC file, so I can keep my lovely stable build, but change to XEU.
And also, can I just download any multi CSC that contains XEU file for 2.3.6, or does it have to be a build specific CSC?
Hope that makes sense, cheers in advance

Firstly wrong section ........ you'll be moved to Q&A by a mod pretty soon...... secondly yeah you can flash just the CSC specific for your region...... But beware that'll wipe your phone ........ so i'd recommend taking a backup of contacts and apps .... via KIES or My Backup Pro.
Here's the thread to download the CSC from just flash the latest CSC for your region without any qualms

Mate, that is epic news Just one final question:
Does the CSC relate to the PDA or PHONE build? As I can't find the exact same combination on that page. However, I can find a XEU CSC for the PHONE build, but not the PDA build.
So, I did the CSC flash only, and it all said PASS. However, not XEU in my CSC list on phone; used CSC_XEU_I9100XEUKH2
CSC South Africa
Hi guys
Totally noob question - is it possible to flash only a csc?
I have trouble downloading in ICS, the ROM is for Germany, I am in South Africa.
Can I flash a CSC specific to South Africa?

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
What is difference between "XEU" and "OXA" in general?

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)

Hi!
I'm looking for the specific CSC for my carrier and country.
I found it on one post in XDA, but it is a multiupload link that is broken.
Can someone help me giving me another link to that CSC?
The CSC I need is:
Antel Uruguay ANCKH1 CSC
Thanks!
Leo.
If you cannot find it then just enter network settings manually .

Thanks JJEgan,
The CSC file affects GPS and talking (signal) quality,
or is it the Modem file that affect those?
I have Cyanogenmod 7.2 instaled in my SGS2, and I want to know
which is the best Modem & CSC file form my country, Uruguay, South America.
CSC is for auto network configuration .
Modem = signal
GPS = modem + settings

I purchased an SIII in Australia that is unbranded and not tied to a carrier. The CSC for this is XSA. However, I was initially having battery life issues so decided to flash the Stock Vodafone Australia ROM (carrier I use) to see if there were any network optimisations that I was missing out on. There didn't seem to be, so I flashed back to an XSA rom.
HOWEVER - it now seems that my CSC has been changed from XSA to VAU, and even though I have flashed back to an XSA ROM, the CSC hasn't changed back properly. I don't want to delay getting OTA updates by being associated with VAU, and have to flash the updates manually.
Can anyone advise how I can get back a proper XSA product code?
Before flashing to VAU ROM: See attached Before.jpg
After flashing back to XSA ROM: See attached After.jpg
When I use the *code to open up the CSC menu, there are no optioned listed to change back to the XSA CSC See attached CSC.jpg
Change Product Code ????
Or change CSC .
CSC loads of posts on the subject including CSC thread in the Guide .
CSC changer or similar on the market .

Well, I'm not sure what the difference is. My 'Product Code' is what has the VAU in it, but when I launch the CSC changer,it shows VAU there as well, but the CSC is the Sammobile app shows XSA.
The CSC changer apps just launch the CSC changer in the phone as far as I can tell (As per my screenshot attached), but there are no options in that list for me to select.
