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)

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 .

KF4 is after KE7 as in K is 2011 E is a month 7 is build
No change logs published by Samsung .
and how do i know what is the language of the ROM?
By reading the instructions on the first page of that link .
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.

Region codes.
This helps me a lot.
I ran a google search but i didn't find which is better and what is the diffrent
ZS = Hong Kong
XW = ?
There is something i would prefer?
Can I install any ROM i want? if i have XW version this is possible to install ZS?
You can install any ROM's any time over any ROM. ZS is dedicated for Hong Kong, ZN is China, why should you install them if you are not located in those countries? XW is open region I guess, it's mainly for Europe and some other Asian countries like India and else.

I have found that XXKG6 ROM have the support i need but nothing mentions about JH. This ROM Runs android 2.3.4 i have 2.33 , If I will install the ROM
it will change to 2.3.4?
If you install a 2.3.4 ROM then you will definitely have 2.3.4.
Regards.
After i flashed the ROM, can I just install CSC with odin?
And if i will flash another kernel CSC will be removed right?
Kernel doesn't have anything to do with CSC. I don't the first part of your query though.
1. When flashing while i'm in install mode i always get an error:
cannot access system/csc/dbt/system
this is normal?
2. I have Frankenstein XXKG6 it seen to be great but there is an RTL fix to this build?
if not what is the recommended firmware that support RTL?

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

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
In South Africa we are up to 2.3.4 as being our latest firmware update available via Kies. In the official roms I see other countries go up to 2.3.6.
Now from what I have seen I am going to go and assume that the different regions differences are for optimal workings for the modem, gps information, CSC and the like.
The firmware I am currently using was taken from the post by Infratech
PDA:XWKI4
PHONE: XXKI1
Date: 14/09/2011
Android 2.3.4
OJC (XFA, XFC, XFE, XFM, XFV) (South Africa) *I am using XFM
Now how do I tell what firmware that doesnt match say phone and/or PDA would work best, I've seen mention of "choosing the closest number" but thats vague to me. I would prefer my phone to be using firmware of a place that actually gets regular updates but not at the expense of phone performance/compatability.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Please note I'm not asking for blind "use this" answers but trying to actually get an understanding so that I know how it works.
The only way you can tell is by using or having recommends from other local users for the modem/baseband .
CSC is country specific but is only a list of local network settings and they can be entered manually .
Thats it Kernels are interchangeable as is firmware .
Only check is that a firmware supports the language you require .
If you want only official updates via Kies then you stick with Kies and flash no other firmware .
Samsung release firmware its sent to the network /phone providers they decide if and when or not to update .
Generally the stock European firmware is more than likely to be available for later versions .
Flash say UK stock firmware 2.3.6 with a change of modem if you find one better in SA and likewise a change of CSC to your country .

Hi Folks,
I have a question regarding debranding / updating my S3 (4.1.2)
This is all new to me and with the wealth of information here and elsewhere online I'm a little unsure about the correct files to use.
My S3 was originally on O2 Ireland and it has been unlocked so I can use it on Vodafone Ireland.
The phone is on 4.1.2 and Kies and OTA firmware update both state I have the latest firmware.
So now curiosity has gotten the better of me and I want to manually update to 4.3, and while I'm at it, I want to debrand and just have a stock firmware.
Reading online says the Switzerland firmware is stock and bloatware free.
These are the details...
PDA: I9300XXUGNA5
CSC: I9300AUTGNA1
MODEM: I9300XXUGMK6
If I flash with these, is that all I need to do to debrand and have the latest firmware?
There is a 4.3 Vodafone firmware on Sammobile so I suppose I could use that if the Swiss one didn't work.
As a noob to flashing, ROMS, Odin etc etc I appreciate any advide or guidance.
Thanks
Ciaran
No stock rom is debloated, they all have tons of Samsung rubbish included.
Any firmware for the i9300 will work, just make sure the included modem will work in your country. Usually anything European is fine but you may lose OTA due to wrong CSC.
Current phone details are...
AP : I9300XXELLA
CP : I9300XXELLA
CSC : I9300O2IELL1
Hoping for some more advice!
How do I know if the csc is correct?
This is the Vodafone Ireland file,
I9300XXUGNA5_I9300VFGGNB1_VDI
and the (more generic?) Swiss file,
I9300XXUGNA5_I9300AUTGNA1_AUT
I know the Swiss file won't have any branding, but don't know if the modem and csc settings are correct.
The Vodafone one on the otherhand will have the correct settings but lots of VF bloatware and branding.
