In the Netherlands, when you get a phone shipped with your contract (eg T-Mobile), you are stuck and branded to 2.3.3
In a quick ragequit I flashed it with firmware from SamFirmware (I9100XWKF1)
Also a Multi CSC is delivered with the firmware, so I installed that too.
Since I discovered that it isn't really a local firmware (guess it is KOR) i decided to install a stock firmware package from this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 forum.
The one that I selected (CEKI2) should be XEN (Netherlands).
However after flashing this ROM, Samsung Kies still says CSC: KH1 (KOR)
@ the orange line
I tried to use the XEN CSC also from the same thread with Odin.
After that I even did a factory reset
Is there anything that I can do to set things straight here?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Solved!
By removing Kies, using CCleaner and reinstalling Kies it solved the problem

Hi guys,
I just bought a Galaxy S2 and I want to flash a newer firmware.
The firmware I intend to flash (XXKG1) comes with PDA, MODEM and CSC.
Is it possible to flash just it's PDA part? Would there be any implications on that?
Why would I want that? Because the original firmware (Brazil - VIVO carrier) I could find only came with the PDA part. So if I flash CSC or MODEM, there is no way back.
The CSC is different from mine. Would that be a problem?
Thanks in advance
AFAIK the CSC is installed into the system partition, so even when you only flash the PDA part you're going to loose your current CSC setup.
However, if the FW comes as seperate .tar files you can just flash the PDA one, yes.
You can take care of a "way back" if you first install CF-Root for example and then do a backup from recovery mode.
Restoring that back gets you pretty close to "nothing ever happened" - it doesn't backup the moden though, only system and data.
Uhmm... weird, even on ODIN you have a separate button for the CSC.
What are the consequences of changing the CSC?

As the above poster mentioned It really depends how the firmware is packaged
Intratech's firmware are packed in one TAR ( Pda/phone/csc ) is just one zip, which you put in the PDA section and it flashes all three of them within
If you get three seperate files then you put them in their corressponding order of ODIN
In this instance you can choose to keep your current CSC and not flash that one.
Although I am not sure if It has any effect between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4
Just to clarify CSC subject:
I live in Kazakhstan. My present setup (from *#1234#)
PDA: I9100XEKE2
Phone: I9100XXKDJ
CSC: I9100XEKE1
believe all available official samsung firmwares are issued do exist for different region(i.e. Kazakhstan is not included)
How safe is it to flash the 2.3.4 firmware now (KG2) ?
What can I possibly loose using the KG2 firmware from Samsung ? As u understand phone language is not a problem for me.....so wonder anything else I omit ?
Thanks for help
Sorry to bump in....
Hello, I am relatively new to forums, only discovered it since I got my galaxy s2, which was a month ago.
Anyways I have similar questions, and I read a bunch of topic which only made me even more confused about what to do, and didn't want to make a new thread so I bumped in here
If inappropriate, please ignore me.
Anyways, Ive got:
PDA: I9100XWKE1
PHONE: I9100XWKE1
CSC: I9100OJVKE1
It is an stock firmware, and I guess a ROM...
I want to update to 2.3.4 but waiting seems not to be a better side of me so I decided to do it manually.
My question is with what should I update with?
As far as I understand, latest official firmwares can be found in the Intratech's post ( the XXKG2 one ).
But I am worried about the CSC part, and how will it affect my phone?
As far as I understand CSC carries localization of a sort, for some network configuration, but my provider sends config messages, and only language I use in phone is English.
Will random CSC part affect me?
Can I even update from my current firmware to the latest one? or do I need to update to other one first?
Will update wipe my data? ( it seems no as far as I understood from guide )
Will the phone be full "stock" ( basically like I bought it with that firmware), and will I be able to update on later time with KIES ?
What kinda of problems (if any) might I expect with upgrading this way? ( if presumably I do everything as I should, i.e. as per guides )
Once again, I apologize for bumping this thread, and I thank you for any help you provide.

My tab came original with CSC-NEE(Norwegian)
I flashed KG9 with Odin, CSC was NSE.
Last night I upgraded via KIES to KI1 (CSC= NSE)
This rom installed a lot of bloatware like Swedish newspaper and magazines apps and it can't be uninstalled the normal way with uninstall.
How can I find a original firmware for P7500 with CSC=NEE? I have tried several P7500 firmwares from samfirmware but so far I haven't found andy with CSC=NEE.
I need the one with NEE so I then can try Kies update again to get the correct uppgrade, for NEE.
Anyone have a original firmware for P7500 with CSC NEE?

Hi,
I have been struggling for a while to get my Tab back to a factory state. I flashed the KI1 stock rom but it is an Italian Rom. I then tried to flask KG7 which again was an Italian rom, so I changed the CSC using a CSC changing app from the Android Store, which successfully changed the CSC to XEU (UK).
The problem is that now when I try and connect to Kies it says that this version of the tab can't be updated (I guess this is because of the way I changed the CSC). I would REALLY appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction of an official UK Rom for the P7500, so that it can be updated in Kies. It is causing me a real headache!
Thanks
Surely someone can help out with this? I just need a stock UK rom that can be updated using Kies!
not sure if this helps ...but sammobile has a list of firmwares to download, you could try the version you had before you upgraded to KI1
http://www.sammobile.com/threads/328-Samsung-P7500-Galaxy-Tab-10.1-Firmwares.
I had a version of KG7 - I tried flashing that one from samfirmware, but the CSC was Italian. I changed the CSC to XEU (UK) which worked, but the tab couldn't then be updated in Kies.
im one step behind! Flashed to KI1 and wanting to change.. I shall watch this post!
Hello,
first, sorry for my Bad English...
So here is my Problem:
Bought S3 in Germany, also CSC = DBT
I flashed Omega V5.1 then i wanted back to origin Firmware, so i used TriangleAway and then flash the original Firmware with DBT (Downloaded it here in the Forum), now the Firmware is on the Phone, but KIES say it is not supportet...
KIES show CSC = EUR
How can this be? I flashed DBT, i can not change it with *#272*imei#, because there is only EUR to select
CAN PLEASE ANYBODY HELP ?!?!?
I recently wanted to change my csc to make my s3 updatable via KIES. Found that if I flashed to the UK (BTU) stock, when I did *#272*imei#, it presented me with many more options than my actual carrier stock.
I used to have an ATL CSC (Vodafone Spain) and I flashed my phone with the German firmware. After flashing it, I still had the ATL CSC but I did a hard reset and now it's DBT. So, I recommend you to do a hard reset but bear in mind you'll lose everything you have: SMS, contacts, etc.

Hi there,
I have a phone bought an unlocked phone from Romania, and I've tried various roms and kernels for 1 year.
Now I want to sell my phone to a friend, but he wants to have the device being able to be updated through kies (he doesn't want custom roms, stock will do for him)
The problem is that I can't get it to be recognized by Kies.
What are the prerequisites to make a firmware to be recognized by Kies as an official stock rom, and after that to be able to update the phone via Kies?
I've tried different firmwares from sammobile, but didn't get neither to be Kies compatible, so please help me.
Thanks in advance!

first, do u know the firmware u had on ur phone when u bought it. since that would be a very usefull info to proceed
second try downloading a firmware from sammobile pertained to Romania flash the same thro ODIN and see
Unfortunatley not, when I've used the phone for myself, I didn't plan to use Kies ever (useless bloatware) and I've flashed so many kernels and roms that I forgot about
Now I can't get it to be an unlocked international version. I will try right now an Orange firmware from sammobile, but I was wondering...do I need to flash a diffrent CSC or stuff like that? I don't know at what Kies looks to validate a phone being eligible for update or not.

its the CSC which makes the diff, when KIES tries to recognise the phone
so after flashing any stock rom u can always change the CSC pertained to ur region, so that u will not have issues with KIES
I've flashed an Orange Romania firmware and the *#1234# command returns this:
PDA: I9100BVLPB
PHONE: I91000BVLPB
CSC: unknown
How can I get the correct CSC for Orange Romania? I've understand that its code is named ORO.
Help on this is really appreciated

After reading and trying diffrent firmwares flashed with Odin, I've found that all the files that I've needed pda, kernel, csc were inside the damn filme I've downloaded from sammobile Luckly I also had a linux virtual machine to cread some separate flashable odin packages for each component, pda, kernel and csc. I've learned this from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082288
Hope this info helps others in my previous situation
Now the phone is recognized by Kies and just updated to the latest firmware available for ORA (although a few reboots and wipe were needed before Kies actually recognized this device)

The reason why kies is not recognising your device is because the CSC code is unknown.
Use this app to change the CSC code to your country/region : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&hl=en
Note that the process will wipe your phone so please backup your important data.
