Hi all,
Is it okay to use CSC_OPS_I9100OPSKG1 version on KH3 Stock that I download from SamFirmware?
Cheers
If CSC works then any will do.

Big NO CSC is network settings no more no less ./ You could try a different modem .

Hi All
Newbie here from New Zealand, I got my Samsung Galaxy S2 a few weeks ago via parallel import. *#1234# shows the following:
PDA: I9100XWKE2
Phone: I9100XXKDJ
CSC: I9100OXXKE2
I'm thinking about flashing to get rid of the flickering brightness problem. Samsung NZ doesn't want to help because it's a parallel import.
I have been reading a lot about the flashing and have a couple of questions if anyone could help me.
1.XXKE2 vs. XXKG3?
Apparently the latest firmware upgrade is XXKG3 and Intratech is loving it, what sort of improvements have been confirmed versus XXKE2? Any current problems with XXKG3?
2.Currently the phone has a multi CSC, if I flash to KG3 which CSC should I use?
Thanks in advance
fyi, the latest is KH3 .. not KG3 ..
1. each of the firmware & modem depends on location, some said that XX is drain battery, some said that XX reception is low,etc .. unfortunately, you need to test it yourself..
but .. normally the latest contain less bug..
2. it's always advisable using same firmware (KH3) with CSC for better result.

Thats relatively true best is generally the latest but not always for all phones .

Does not matter what CSC you use as long as it covers your location as it only contains a list of network settings .CSC itself may be numbered later but contents rarely change .
Basics is you want a CSC that covers New Zealand and that can be flashed separate as can a modem if needs be .

So are there any improvements in terms of usability/tricks/etc? I just want the flickering to stop.

hey, im having trouble running checkrom.. after a fresh install, i have no 3g internet.. i can make calls, and connect to internet via wifi, but i just cant connect to internet via 3g.. so i think replacing my csc could fix the problem..
does anyone know where i can get my hands on a csc?
(dont know if it matters, but i use AT&T)

Check Intratech's thread. I would say you install one firmware with your CSC (depends on your region, not carrier) and flash the custom ROM afterwards.

Could be your APN settings, in which case Google them for your carrier and country.
If you were just looking for your CSC, you could have just used the search tool?

Hi Ive installed Westcrips rom 8.6 which is great but my CSC has changed from XEU to ODK and there is no option for XEU in CSC list. Does it really matter what CSC and can anyone tell me another CSC to use for UK cause dont have XEU in list. Thanks and what a great site
You can just flash csc package from intratech thread should change back to xeu but you might lose all your data

CSC is only a few files that list local network settings and its not required for the phone to work . Network settings can be entered manually ,

Hi
I'm just wondering if after flashing a new custom ROM (or indeed I started to mod my own rom from Wanam's de-odexed latest stock rom) should I flash my original CSC from 3Hutchinson UK (H3GALE4) or stick with the latest unbranded UK CSC? It's still unclear to me precisely what the CSC does?
Surely it is the radio/modem version that determines connection speeds/efficiency of the modem etc? Or could the CSC have special 3 mobile firmware for getting better connection with their network? - Or what I suspect is that it just loads the 3 network boot screen and installs the 3 app?
Thanks

Afaik csc file determines the country code and what apps are to be installed per country that samsung assigned, like bbc player for the UK. But it`s not that important to be honest.
Thanks,
So only the CSC is carrier specific? Radio/Modem is purely just firmware for the radio and modem? I ask because in the UK 3-Network transmit using UMTS (not GSM) on 2100MHz so I wondered if there was anything that could optimise this. It seems to me that ALL 3 phones in the UK use the NELE4 modem - is there a reason for this?
I'm on 3 in the UK had it for a few weeks now on le8 and le4 modem rooted and changed the kernel to siyah but don't want to flash a custom Rom yet for the csc reason and seen in a few places people losing imei number too is that them just being completely dumb tho and flashing incorrect roms etc?

I had read the same although I took precursive efs backup and immediate image of my initial stock. I've flashed through some nice ROMs but recently decided to make up my own from one of Wanams deodexed stock roms. However I have really liked the Omega rom so I may roll with that, but I have been reflashing the CSC to 3 H3GALE4 thinking perhaps it improves things for 3 users??? But I reckon moreliekly just provides the 3 splash screen on power up.
My interest in modems and/or CSCs is that my primary reason for the sgs3 is not so much a phone as my home internet provider as i live in v rural area yet with an anttenna I can get above 5mb/s whereas my land line can barely provide 1mb/s. So any modem/mod/hack which specifically improves this and perhaps even the software/driver behind tethering is what I'm keen on learning about.
Great phone though.
Amazing phone couldn't want more gui is so smooth I have from some where got on my internal sd a efs-backup.zip so I will back that up and try checkrom worst comes to I send it back
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Well I tried Checkrom and that too is really really good. Prior to flashing a new custom rom I followed the instructions of flashing back to original stock and triangling away which worked absolutely fine too.
Yeah already tested triangle away works wonders with siyah kernel it dont even need to restart the phone great work on that chainfire

I'm sure whether or not I get terrible 3G speeds without the 3 modem or not
Poor speeds is often modem related try BULF1.
CSC can be copied out of original rom and replaced in a custom rom before flashing .
System CSC folder and CSC version text .
CSC is not required for a phone to work and is only a list of local area network connections on stock .

Been running Turkbey Custom ROM for a month now, and 3 mobile CSC was not available in this ROM but it has had no effect on anything and everything I do, and installed bbc iplayer and 3 network app automatically, so I agree CSC is not that important.

I've been doing some tests and I am *begining* to think that nele4 modem is the best on the 3-network in UK. Will update after some other tests.

Thanks for info. I'll try BULF1 in my little ongoing tests.
Does anyone know of a custom mod/app that replaces the stock "tethering" software with a better one? I ask because I can get 10Mb/s mobile data connection on the phone but when I tether my laptop, that will only reach 4-5Mb/s. I want my phone to act as good modem router - seems the stock one isn't as good as it could be??
I'm on 3 UK, using Omega10, all modems included with Omega worked well, you can try flashing any modem, I'm currently on lg6

Just to update u guys pro efs will backup your efs folder to your pc no problem I recommend using this before flashing too much

I've been at sea for anumber of weeks so I have only just caught up with this thread again. I have tried a number of modems (and given them a few days to "chill out"). All though I still do not have any quantative proof it *seems* as if the original NELE4 modem works the best - by best I don't mean connection speeds but in the UK without moving location I seem to get H+ more consistently whereas other modems would *seem* to jump between 3G, H and H+ more randomly. These are only thoughts - my observations may be completely wrong. WOndering if anyone else has noticed similar?
Even if I am not in the UK, I would like to confirm my understanding of CSC as I just found out that my phone's status is CSC: unknown after I flashed the newest 4.0.4 update for my region (TH, I9300T).
As I understood CSC does not impact the phone a lot, only the region specific play store settings and networks. Currently I face no problem with the phone at all, normal reception etc., hence would you still recommend flashing the correct CSC to remove the "unknown" status or just keep it like it is and wait for JB later? (I am aware that CSC flashing will format my phone)
Thanks

I really am not the best person to answer this I am afraid although does reflashing your CSC really format the phone?? I thought you could use ODIN to just reflash a CSC and leave the modem and FW intact but I may be seriously wrong so don't do it on account of what I've said! Hopefully someone will clarify.
As has been said by others on this thread (many thanks) I really doen't think the CSC matters that much at all - the only difference I notice between the 3UK CSC (H3GALE4) and a non-branded UK CSC is that I lose the Three logo on boot and BBC Iplayer and Twitter App aren't installed.
Hello.This forum si amazing help me a lot reading and solving my problems bu...
Story short flash 4.1.1 firmware from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 but because i`m living in UK i cant choose UK CSC code it`s just not there ( i try with *#272* ImeI# but is giving me error so i try with CSC changer from Play Store) so i decide to go back to 4.0.4 and then my problem starts.I try with Odin and 4.0.4 firmware the result was it`s freezes on samsung logo.
Then i used Kies to recover my firmware,Kies complete successfully but again freezes on Samsung Logo.I then try with Vodafone firmware (pay and go handset) same result.The only time when the phone boot properly is when i`m using 4.1.1 .If someone can help me how to go back to OTA 4.0.4 and bypass Samsung Logo.Thank You and my apologies for my bad english.Thank you again
After flashing to ICS, you need to boot into recovery and factory reset.

Thanks i did it and after i clean the cashe the phone boot up.Too bad there is no CSC for UK yet i really like 4.1.1 speed is amazing and there is no lag at all.
No need to change the csc. The csc is the one for that firmware, all you need to do is select your language during setup. Firmwares with different cscs are beginning to be rolled out as we speak.
I'm running polish stock rooted until UK 4.1.1 becomes available

the only real problem could potentially be fast dormancy support, from what I am aware, but I'm on it in UK and no problems here, so good to go really, I just left the csc as it is
