Hi,
I have just flashed the XWKI4 package from this thread (which has the new bootloader removed) to a UK Orange branded S2, in an attempt to debrand.
Upon reboot, the stock samsung animation is shown, but, the stock orange crapware apps are still installed.
When I go to *#272*...# to change CSC, the current CSC is shown as ORA but there are no CSC available in the list to change to.
How do I get rid of the orange apps? I am thinking I need to make the phone think it's XEU CSC but how can I do that if XEU is not in the list?
thanks

If its Orange brand firmware then its not debranded .
You flash a non orange stock firmware i guess you have not flashed the firmware .
after you have read the instructions
Stock Roms .and csc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
either should debrand to stock

Thought so.A csc is not carrier based its country based.For example Im in Spain and in use FOP on any network,KOR is korea standard and so on.You can flash a firmware with a multi-csc if that firmware is official in those countries.If not you get the csc for the valid country only.If you go to the link below you will see a list of all official firmwares.If you go even further below to the "FRANKENSTEIN SECTION" you will see more firmwares and a list of CSCs.You can flash a Frankenstein FW,factory reset your phone then if you want flash any of the CSCs you see there and do another factory reset to complete it.In my experience its not a good idea to flash another CSC to an official FW so thats why its best to choose a Frankenstein one which are just the same,just pimped-up by XDAs intratech.The other wat is to flash a custom ROM that has a multi CSC pack built in.

thats what i thought so i used the firmware in the link above i then did a factory reset so kies would see it as if i done it vis kies. Kies then checked for an update and none was found but then when i went to change the csc i only had xeu.
Dose anyone know when/if 2.3.5 for xeu will be out i dont want to flash again
because i just got kies to work with the firmware im useing
Kies wont work from the CSC you on your phone.It will search for the latest update depending on the product code of your phone and if you flash a non-official firmware then it will say that the firmware that you have cannot be updated.If you want the official 2.3.5 then you need a factory unlocked SGS2 as they are usually the first to get updates and dont flash it with a non-oficiall FW.Flash a custom ROM if you wantIm on KI4-KK5 2.3.6 cos I have a custom ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290468
it is unlocked to all networks it unlocked when i flashed it with 2.3.4
Kies reads a specific registry key to get the phone details like
I9000ADJP6/I9000O2UJP3/I9000ADJP3/I9000ADJP6
If Kies tries to match firmware to the above codes it would fail .
As per
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089874&highlight=hidswver
the Check FUS post allows direct downloads
or spoofFW may allow you to download a firmware from Kies by spoofing codes .

Its just that you said you de-branded it.I took that as a locked phone that you have unlocked with a flash but that wont change its product code.
ah im with you now how can i unlock it so the code can change?
it was on t-mobile 2.3.5 is out now for t-mobile but kies is saying im up to date not sure now how to get get 2.3.5 but so kies still works
on my mums galaxy s her sales code was cpw i changed it by *#272*IEMI#
changed to xeu it then had an update to 2.3.5
CPW CSC is the best for the UK as it covers more networks .

i did try CPW but still no update and this one http://www.multiupload.com/QROGHPRZVK made my anti virus pop up when my mums one was set to CPW it would not update till it was set to XEU also CPW is still on Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread http://devsrom4android.blogspot.com/2011/10/samsung-galaxy-s2-firmware-updates-via.html

Dont worry to much about the antivirus coming up.Thats just the way your antivirus or firewalls is set.Happens every now and then but its not a virus so just download it anyway.Happened to me a few times,mostly when the file is an md5 file and not a tar file(both go in PDA in Odin too so no worries there).As for Kies I guess its a matter of flashing a compatable firmware that Kies will recognize for the update as normally it wont recognize non official ones.Or a custom ROM if you cant wait.
CPW CSC is the best for UK networks as it covers more networks .
It has nothing to do with updates its only the CSC file that contains multiple network configurations more than the XEU csc does .
CSC is not actually required to use the phone .
SpoofFW might be worth a look from the market .

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 .

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)

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 .

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.

Whst network were you on before?
Hi, first post, but have been using all the helpful info from the forums for 6 months now with my TF201, this is related to my new i9300. I'll try to be as descriptive as I can:
Black i9300 purchased last week in the UK, but currently has the TGY (Hong Kong) CSC code. I tried flashing to the UK JB ROM on Sammobile but came back with an unknown CSC error. Fair enough. I followed some instructions i found to get to BTU CSC code:
Flash back to BTU ICS
Flash BTU CSC package
Use Galaxy CSC changer to select BTU
Reboot, now with a fully working ICS build, and BTU CSC (I9300OXAALF2).
However at this point i wasn't able to find any official OTA updates and Kies told me that my device was not compatible with kies updates.
Flashed the original JB UK ROM I downloaded and now i'm back with the unknown CSC.
Any ideas? I've already tried flashing the CSC package onto JB and that's not worked, so now i'm really stumped. As far as I can tell i've removed all HK CSC codes from my device as it was happy as BTU with ICS...
Thanks
Hi guys I have just got my Samsung Galaxy edge and its branded to 02 UK and I am going to unbrand it I wanted to know which Stock should I flash BTU OR XEU also will I need to change the csc ?
Pretty sure XEU is Europe unbranded (including UK) and BTU is just UK unbranded, flashing one of those should set your CSC to the version flashed. I have always flashed BTU
Sammobile actually has XEU listed as Ireland, so prob best go for BTU http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G925F/BTU/
Thanks MrC85 thats what I have done just flashed the United Kingdom BTU its all set now........Do you reckon I just get the android updates quicker now ?

I guess so, I tend to root mine etc (or use a custom ROM). so have to flash updates manually.
