I have rooted my S2 but now unrooted but problem is that before rooting my firmware was PDA:KJ2 / PHONE:KI4: / CSC KJ1 (KSA) showing on KIES... now it is showing PDA:KJ2 / PHONE:KI4: / CSC KJ1 (XSG)although i have downloaded official stock firmware from sammobile firmwares which is SAUDI ARABIA but why the hell iit is showing (XSG) instead of (KSA) on KIES.
It doesn't makes any big difference, so as long as it shows updates in kies you have no problem

ya sure, but you can upgrade to other region ics even without rooting. download the ics firmware you want to flash and use odin to flash it. do read the odin tutorial on how to do it.
you can flash any i9100 ICS ROM if you have i9100 Model.
try dialing wipe code, it might fix your csc issue.
or try changing csc manually.
search is your friend. there also an app for S2 csc in market

Mine also says unknown after flashing the UK firmware. I've tried flashing the CSC file, but it still shows as being unknown.
I'm also unable to access the CSC selector, after entering *#272*IMEI# I get a message -
"Connection problem or invalid MMI code"
Try sgs1/2 csc changer from play store

i've tried 2 different CSC changers, CSC Select and SGS CSC, both dont work. Its not a major issue for me, as long as it isnt causinga problem with something i dont know about. My phone originally had the Hong Kong CSC (i bought it online), so whetehr this is causing the problem, i dont know

Hello,
I'm asking this here because it looks like you guys might be able to help me understand how CSC work.
I'm trying to understand why I'm not getting the UK Jellybean update, bought my Galaxy s3 phone from Amazon it said UK unlocked.
Here's what my phone "About device" says
Model: GT-9300
Version:4.0.4
Baseband version:i9300XXLF2
Build number:IMM76D.I9300XXALF2
When I run *#1234#
it gives
AP: I9300XXALF2
CP:I9300XXLF2
CSC:I9300OJVALF2
Now from what I've read and looking here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
this would indicate a stock official firmware apart from the CSC
As I understand it the above CSC mean my phone is OJV, while to get the UK update I have to have CSC BTU.
I've tried the CSC selector software but BTU doesn't appear and the phone appears to be set on MWD (this is also what KIES shows)
Can anyone help me untangle and understand this.
Thanks.

Hi. Your phone has African firmware with a multi CSC. There is no Official release yet for Africa. Thats why you are not getting updates. You have 2 options.......1: To wait for the official update for your firmware 2: to download XXDLJ4 and flash it with odin. You will have exactly same result whichever option you choose.
Cheers
CSC problem
Hello.
I have a problem with changing the CSC of my phone. My phone is a branded i9300 with the stock CSC: ORO. I've flashed I9300XXDLJ4 and my CSC became unknown. Then i tried to flash only the BTU CSC but with the same result: CSC unknown. Also i downloaded the CSC select app but it gives me this error : "process com.android.phone has stopped". also i've wiped data and cache before and after flashing the rom. Do you guys have a solution for my problem or if a have a branded phone i cannot change my CSC?
When I enter in recovery mode it always says something like "Manual MODE. Applied Multi CSC. Applied CSC ORO".
Thanks

It happens when the cache.img (it has the CSC files) is not flashed properly when you are using Odin.... if the flashing process gets interrupted due to a reboot ..you will have to flash the firmware again after a full wipe..

Yes, thank you, I've now realised this. I bought the phone on Amazon where it was described as UK unlocked. Obviously this wasn't entirely accurate..
I'm new to this so I'm going to wait a little longer in case the official update is released shortly while I do some more reading.
If I wanted to go the second root, just out of interest, how did you know to suggest XXDLJ4 as the ROM I need to flash, there seem to be so many out there. Sorry if this is a total noob question.
Thanks.
Simple method is to use CHECKFUS to download any current firmware and flash via ODIN .

Hi all, I have a outright/carrier free S3 from Hungary, with everything untouched and stock firmware 4.0.4.
I am trying to work out how I can change the firmware to the latest UK update with Jelly Bean, and thereafter have the phone recognised in kies for future updates direct from Samsung, and also have the ability to do OTA updates.
Basically I just want to get Jelly Bean loaded on it and have it be like a phone that was bought in the UK, so that updates work OTA or via kies in the future and don't want the phone to be rooted either.
What would be the best and simplest way of achieving this?
I wasn't able to find anything on the forums to guide me on how to get this done the way I need it.
If its easier I could also load a UK 4.0.4 ROM on it and then OTA to Jelly Bean.
As I mentioned, I just want to change it to be like I bought it in the UK instead of having a region on it that takes months to update to a new firmware like Hungary.
Hoping someone knows exactly what to do, much appreciated.
Thank you

You can flash the latest JB with Odin, and use a CSC changer to change region codes. So long as the correct JB and CSC match, you can update it OTA or through Samsung Kies.
However be forewarned that changing your CSC will wipe your phone clean -- or so I've read. Haven't done it, personally.

Thanks,
One other thing I still need to know is, the phone currently hasn't got BTU CSC on it as an option, but a lot of other countries, if I flash the UK BTU JB, will that also renew the CSC options for later to change it to BTU or am I stuck with the CSC options that are on it now?
I'm assuming flashing the UK BTU JB ROM will update the AP and CP to match each other, then I just need to change the CSC?
Many thanks.

Hi,
I just updated to the stock UK 4.1.1 using Odin but I now can't access the CSC changer using the dialler code as I could before, also the CSC changer app won't work either.
It also says my CSC is now unknown.
Is there another way I can change the CSC?
Thanks
Nevermind, I flashed the 4.1.1 twice and the CSC showed up, the dialler code still doesn't work but the CSC app worked to change it, just had to add a APN to get data back and kies and OTA works fine now and has detected the phone as BTU for updating.
EDIT: The headline is supposed to say - 'Flashing a stock rom to a BRANDED phone'
Hey guys!
I've recently acquired a Galaxy S3 yet my carrier has decided to brand the phone (Three). I've been talking to them about getting them to debrand it but they will not do it for free, and they say that once debranded I won't be able to receive OTA.
My question now is: Will I, if I do it myself, be able to flash an unbranded stock rom located on the internet using ODIN and still receive OTA updates, or is there something preventing me from doing this?
Cheers
Mikkel
I had the same issue (orange),
Go to SamMobile download the latest unbranded btu (uk) version 4.1.1 and flash with odin.
As you flashing the official stock firmware you don't need to be rooted and your counter won't change.
You will then get the ota updates from Samsung and not your carrier or you can just keep flashing the latest versions as above.

But I suppose I have to find one that comes from my country, which is Denmark. The only one I can find on sammobile appears to be a branded version from Three.

Go to the Sammobile.com site then the firmwares link and select
Type - Smartphone
OS - Android
Model - this will be your phone for example GT i9300 - Galaxy S 3
Country - and from the drop down lost select Open Europe OXA
That is non branded European version 4.1.1, it should work fine for you.
Totally up to you this is just a suggestion to get rid of the branding from 3 which is the only version listed under Denmak itself in the country list
Use CHECKFUS to download any current firmware from Samsung and flash via Odin .

Thanks a bunch guys. This is great help!
Before I start flashing the rom is there anything I have to do? Do I have to backup/wipe/reset the phone or do I simply start download mode, connect it to my PC and flash the new rom using Odin?
Hi,
My bro got a 2nd hand S3 from CEX in UK, when we connect it to Kies it says...
'Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies'
The current version is PDA:LI5 / PHONE:LI5 / CSC:LI5 (BTU)
It is supposed to be on O2,( has O2 stickers and box ) but I think it has been flashed with a generic firmware. Is this why Kies gives the above message? Don't think it's rooted, device status says normal.
Can I simply flash the 4.1.2 O2 firmware from SamMobile using Odin? If so do I need to do the PDA, PHONE & CSC, the guide on SamMobile also says to Re-Partition is the necessary? I am sure when I did my own S3 I just did the PDA part.
Will this wipe everything?
Regards,.
Les
Well I went ahead and flashed it using Odin, but still Kies doesn't like it. It now has the O2 4.1.2 firmware, with the O2 bubble screen on boot.
Kies says version = PDA:LL4/PHONE:LK1/CSC:LL1 (BTU)
Thought it was something to do with the CSC, I tried the Samsung Galaxy S / S2 / S3 CSC app but get and error 'preconfig does not support singleCSC'
Anyone have any ideas?

Les

After flashing via Odin factory reset it. I had that problem too with kies. I flash jellybean firmware but kies would not recognize it. Factory resetting fix my kies problem. HTH.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Right well the problem kies is having is that the phone looked like it had the latest LL5 version at the start ( LL5 is the European Vodafone version) but the phones CSC is set to generic unlocked UK model(Btu). Even after your o2 flash the csc is still set to btu. So because the csc isn't matching the firmware, kies won't allow the firmware upgrade.
Either look to change the csc to o2u(UK o2 csc code) or flash the Btu firmware.
Edit: to change csc usually a full factory reset will change it or a 2nd flash of the o2 firmware should help. Even the csc app u mentioned earlier should help but be warned changing csc will wipe the phone using the app.

Thanks for the replies guys.
I can confirm that a factory reset and then a 2nd flash with the o2 firmware has fixed the problem.

Hi,
If I have stock Firmware customized by the provider (4.1.2 Orange) and I install an official untouched firmware with Odin, will the CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD remain NONE and the IMEI remain the same?
I don't want to wait for Orange to release the updates, but i would like to keep the warranty.
Thank you!
u can flash it without worrying about custom binary download..if u stock other country STOCK firmware,it will remain said official..
So basically if i flash another firmware from another carrier who does not customize it in my country, i can still keep warranty and make updates from Kies or OTA.

Yes but if you flash a rom for Sweden you wait for Sweden updates and you may need to change Modem or and CSC for your location .

I will flash a fw from another carrier from my country.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I just flashed the firmware. PDA: I9300XXELL6 CSC: I9300OXFELL1
However the CSC from the recovery menu remained ORO, from the original firmware and Kies told me that it can not provide updates for this firmware. I used "Samsung Galaxy S / S2 / S3 CSC" from the market to change it to COA, as this is the CSC from the carrier the firmware is and now Kies tells me that i have the latest firmware. Also CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD is NONE and it says official.
Thanks for the advice!
