When we hit *#1234# we get the 3 different info.
My question is what does PDA, Phone and CSC stands for? Version for what? What is the significance?
PDA - ROM version
(This is suppose to be a code that tells you what version Android)
Phone - Modem Firmware
(This is suppose to tell you what modem firmware your phone has)
CSC - Region Zone
(This tells you what country the phone is for, including software bundle)
And if i changed the CSC is it going to change any signal preformance !? Or anything !?

Csc contains the fata settings for the internet.
If you chamge it yo a different region, your internet may not work properly or at all.

thats what i hear everyone says, but i never had to enter my apn's they always work out of the box, when i flash any stock rom of any region. thus i never cared of CSC.
I don't get it.
I have an argentinian phone.
And I had flashed the CheckROM... Now I have OXAKI4, and everything works OK.
Should I do anything?
Hey,
I am trying to find the appropriate firmware to flash back to stock, but I'm not sure which one to use. What do I base my decision on, the PDA, PHONE, or CSC?
This is the info I get when I hit *#1234#
PDA: I9100XWKL1
PHONE: I9100MUGKG2
CSC: I9100XAKL1
Build Info: Tue Dec 13....
I'm guessing I go by the PDA version, but doesn't the CSC and PHONE also have to match the firmware version as well?

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 .

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!

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 S2 came from 'expansys online' and had the information below and no update in KIES.
PDA: XWKI4
Modem: XXKI1
CSC: OXAKI2 (SEB)
I changed the sales code to NEE by '*#272*IMEI#' and then KIES asked me to update to the following version.
PDA: XWKI8
Modem: XXKI4
CSC: OXAKI2(NEE)
Then I flashed stock firmware from Intratech's thred. But KIES said my phone cannot be updated by it. I check the information by '*#272*IMEI#' and there is just one work 'NEE' after 'sales code' and NOTHING SHOWN BELOW(before there were a list i can select). I thought I should have one 'XEN' to select at least but nothing.
The flashing should be successful because there were some apps with Dutch language.
PDA: XWKJ3
Modem: XXKI4
CSC: XENKJ1
At latst yesterday I flashed KK5 combination from Intratech's thred and succeed (with special apps like bbc i-player) but problem is still there. I cannot see any CSC to select by '*#272*IMEI#'.
KIES says the firmware 'I9100XWKK5/I9100XEUKH2/I9100XXKI3/I9100XWKK5' cannot be updated by it.
So anybody know how to solve it or who know which combination can be updated by KIES?
Anyone can give a help?
I dont really understand what you are trying to achieve .
Kies looks at Product Code and a few other codes .These are then matched against firmware on the Kies server . No match = no download .
Why vendor not updated
product Codes do not match any firmware .
Kies may not be able to match up the current codes on your phone .
You have a phone you changed its sales code
you updated then you flashed stock firmware then you flashed stock firmware again .
You want latest firmware then flash stock rom and flash relevant CSC to your location .

My question is why there is no CSC which I can select after I call '*#272*IMEI#'. There is just one word 'NEE'. No CSC list.
I flash XEU so I think at least there should be XEU CSC and the word should be changed from NEE to XEU. But the fact is not so.
And how to change product code?
You flashed the Frankenstein version of KK5 which is a combination that Intratech put together, and he placed it in the FRANKENSTEIN section, Kies will not recognize it, in order to flash with Kies, stay with stock roms/combinations.
The biggest question is why do you want to flash with Kies and with ODIN, pick one and stick with it, flash the CSC separately if you do not see it, or download CSC select from the market.

what I most warry about is why there is no XEU displayed. After calling *#272*IMEI# just 'Sales Code : NEE' is displayed (sorry no image). Anyone whose phone just has non-multi CSC can show me your infromation after calling.

Flash the CSC separately, then use the market app to select it, will reset your device though...
I have a SII which has been imported in to New Zealand, it was 2.3.4, with a SMO CSC
Locally there has just been a 4.0.3 upgrade avaliable, I've downloaded the VNZ (Vodafone NZ) and flashed it with odin.
The upgrade to 4.0.3 went great, but the CSC has remained at SMO, so now Keis is reporting that "your device does not support software upgrading via keis"
PDA: I9100XWLP7
phone:I9100XXLPS
CSC: I9100VNZLP2
I've tried the CSC changes, and this only give me the option of the SMO CSC.
Any idea on how to fix this, I would if possible like to have VNZ as the CSC

flash ur stock rom,its obivious tht the csc will change wat u expect man...an always hav a efs backd up....
wipe using code, after that if still doesnt change flash againusing odin and wipe again using code.
will work, iv seen ics requires twice flashing for csc fix, GB worked usually with one flash and wipe code
*2767*3855#
Essentially its make your mind up time Stick with Kies and official firmware or use Odin .
This attempt to mix and match does not always work .

How can I find out what was my original firmware when I bought the phone. I flashed MG4, the latest one for S3 but KIES claims that my current firmware version is not supported to update via KIES. I saw somewhere that you can restore it with the help of S/N but can't understand how.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
GT-I9300 and your country. If you had unbranded version then it's unbranded, if not select proper branded one.
There's no other way to determine what you have, especially if you overwrited bootloader with other pure-stock flashed via Odin.

you can find it via kies.. for that :
1. switch off your phone, pullup the battery and note the serial no.(no mistake should be made)
1. Open kies and than go to Tools>>Firmware Upgrade and Initialization in kies.( you don't even have to connect your phone to do this)
2. Enter the model no as: GT-I9300 (no mistake should be made, everything should be in capital letters, you can copy this one)
3. It will ask you for S/N (serial no.), enter the one you noted in first step.
Thats it, it will tell you the CSC code(country code) and other informations(i have attached screenshot of mine), the one inside bracket like in my screenshot TTT is the country code. Than you can check in Sammobile for the the firmware and find out the original firmware which was when you bought the phone.

I tried it. But it still gave me MG4 CSC, PHONE and PDA. After flashing it I got LaFleur boot logos and LaFleur wallpapers. That's strange since my phone is not White but Grey.

So did you checked for country code in sammobile, what older firmware are listed there?
My country isn't listed there somehow. As I remember when I connected my device via kies the day I bought it the csc was BTU or something that starts with B. Tho PDA was different.
Can't find my country there. Also my phone is Unbranded
Why don't you try flashing the MG4 one from kies, maybe it detects then... and can you tell your CSC code??

Check my product code is GT-I9300TADCOA , It's Tele2 from Croatia and I bought the phone from Tele2. So it think that's it.
- EDIT -
No use, still not recognized in Kies. Also the TELE2 firmware from Croatia (GT-I9300RWATWO) is a mismatch to mine GT-I93000TADCOA. And I can't find SEB firmware at Sammobile. Could you link it to me?
