Yes as per the posted instructions .

Do I put the CSC file in the PDA box like when flashing a rom or in the csc box?
Alan

As per whatever the instructions say .
CSC= CSC if thats what the instructions say though it will probably work via PDA .

[Q] What kernel to use to root?

Hi,
Planning to use this method to root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
BUT not sure what unsecure kernel I need.
I have done the *#1234# thing and it says:
PDA: 19100BUKE5
PHONE: 19100BUKE1
CSC: 19100VODKE2
Which one gives the right info? Phone, PDA or CSC?
Thanks.
No one has any idea?
How did y'all root your phones then?
Your phone is KE5 firmware .
jje
ok so I can flash any insecure kernel e.g. KE7 for example?
EDIT: also, if I use an unsecure KE7 kernel and then reflash a secure KE7 kernel, a. is this ok, and b. I will then have KE7 firmware I think?
Cheers.

To do it in tue good way :
It seems you have an operator firmware
First you must flash using Odin a samsung official firmware like (KE7 last KIES update for european people) to find the samsung offical firmware for your country, look in the official firmware and root thread of intratech.
Then You can flash the CF-Root kernel corresponding to your new firmware.
The yellow triangle is really nothing bad. Just meens you didn't use all offical samsung stuff ...
Edit : in Intratech thread, for choosing you firmware : find one with same csc as yours or a multi CSC firmware.
Or after flashing any firmware you want, re-flash with
ODIN, your CSC (present in Intratech thread)
in ODIN, use CSC BOX not PDA and don't touch anything else

Ok so I have the KF2 firmware for flashing.
It came with three files:
Phone_I9100XXKF2.tar
PDA_I9100XXKF2.tar
CSC_I9100XEUD1.tar.
I am on Vodafone UK. So I think I should replace the CSC .tar file with this one that I found:
CSC_I9100VODKE2.tar
This CSC .tar is the same one I have already: thus I should have no issues with connectivuty settings etc after flashing.
Is this correct?

That's correct.
Or you can just reflash after updating to kf2 your specific CSC using Odin and CSC box
CSC are specific from a region/country (keyboards langages ...) that's why you should use one specific to yours

Ok great stuff.
So: I use Odin to flash the firmware to KF2.
Then I can root it with the XXKF2 unsecure kernels etc.
Cool.

Nop, you should use Chainfire CF-Root kernel (kF2)
You will be directly rooted and will have CWM recovery mode.
His KF2 kernel is in his 3rd post i bolieve
But don't forget to download and flash your CSC with ODIN in the CSC box if you don't want to loose your specific country configuration.
You will find your CSC in the Intratech thread : official firmwares and how to root.
The how to ROOT from Intratech is older than the CF root from Chainfire.

[Q][CSC] How do i flash a regional CSC...?

Hi, I'm a new boy here so bear with me, here goes:
I bought my S2 in Ireland unbranded. Recently i flashed foreign(UAE) firmware so that i could get arabic support. The firware is:
GT-I9100_XSG_I9100JPKJ2_I9100OJPKJ1_I9100XXKI4.tar
Now the question is although everything is running good would it be possible to flash just the CSC for my region and would it be advisable? If so what would be the procedure. My phone current CSC is: i9100OJPKJ1.
Thank you in advance for your help

Thanks for the guidance, but I can't find a clear cut answer for my query. I understand that CSC is specific to a region but is it safe to mix and match. If yes where can the CSC(only) be downloaded?
Thanks for your help.
I've found the CSC package for my region. So is it safe to flash just the CSC via odin?
Again apologies for my 'noob-ness'
yes you can...same process as flashing the fw...just flash the csc package on the csc prompt in odin...
Thanks a lot.

Would this overwrite the ols CSC? or just add a new one?

No need to dump just download it from below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
then just root it using CF-root from below using the XENKJ3 file, which you can then place original FW on SD card and flash back at anytime using cwm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
or just flash a custom rom using odin or once rooted using cwm
Once rooted you just delete all the crap you don't want off the phone.

CSC are posted .

Otherwise you need the extract cache tool posted .
But all you will end up with is non flashable files.
Sammobile may have seperate CSC .
Root explorer and extract the CSC folder and CSC files from the phone system .

I would like to have the correct CSC according to the fw I am using. The mobile came with CSC TEN which is Telenor. This fw is always late when it comes to updates becauce of some special apps they are adding in. So now I have the NEE firmware, but TEN CSC.. so how do I change the CSC?
CSC change in link given.
Sorry I know nothing about official firmware . I use XDA forum. Possible a Samsung forum may have more information for you .

If you flash a nee firmware you should get nee csc to, but you can download csc changer from play store and se that csc you phone have and change it

CSC changer shows only TEN CSC, not NEE... Obviously not a multi CSC thing in this fw..
Ten csc is carrier specific, so it probably just means you will get carrier bloat with it, if that is case then just use your regional csc unless you really want that bloat! And remember changing csc factory reset phone and I think it wipes internal sd too

That is exactly what I want, but how do I manage to get my regional (NEE) CSC into the S3? CDC changer does not work (Sees only TEN CSC) and when I flashed the pda with odin (should contain NEE CSC) I still have TEN CSC...
Basically you want to debrand your phone so you may as well just flash your required Rom from here
