Hi,
I tried to search for this but couldn't get a result. I hope it's okay to create a new thread.
I went from stock to a Samsung ICS build with a CSC code of "SEK" (Ukraine, I think), then to Samsung ICS build for T-Mobile UK and finally yesterday I went back to the official UK XEU Samsung ICS build. Each time I have done a full wipe as per the instructions in the sticky.
Nevertheless when I use Power+VolUp+FaceButton it shows "SEK" CSC applied.
Shouldn't this have been overwritten by the XEU one? I would be very appreciative if anyone can tell me if this normal and if it will cause me any problems with upgrades etc in the future?

I got a new S2. Its GSM from Germany. I tried to flash an ICS Theme. But now i got bootloops. I tried to Wipe everything but it doesnt work. I am able to use Odin or Kies. Can somone help me to bring it back to where it was original. without any theme and no root? i got Odin and Kies installed. Where do i get Stock Rom for 1und1 Germany or Stock German rom and how do i install it?
which is the right firmware to download. i dont get it which one is the right one and which one is the newest to use for german language
i got these information from my rom XXKI4, KJ1
Get carrier-specific firmware here or if your carrier isn't listed in that thread get country-specific firmware here. You could also use Checkfus (do a search on here) to get the latest firmware available for your carrier that you'd normally get via Kies.
thanks a lot, but i dont know which one of the country specific is the newest and right one for me. Can you help me out?
Looks like there's only one available in Intratech's official carrier firmware thread for O2 Germany (XWKI1), Checkfus says KI8 is available for O2 Germany (Dated: 22/11/11) assuming you have a I9100 (check the sticker under your battery to make doubly sure.
I don't know which one is more recent as Intra's firmwares don't have dates on them, but I'm guessing the KI8 available thru Checkfus is more recent as this would also be available via Kies. I don't think it will make a great deal of difference which one you use at the end of the day given you don't seem to know which firmware you had on your phone originally. Either will work just fine with your phone I would imagine, provided you definitely have a I9100 or I9100T
Up to you which one you use.

thanks a lot for your answers. i just flashed a custom rom andy everything is good
Hello man!
[2 Questions, 1: get back stock rom]SOLVED maybe next time i better get peanut butter of my eyes first.. Thanks for talking about!
O2 German Ace S5830 stock rom PDA:XWKPY CSC:VIAKP1 BASEBAND:XWKP8 (found on sammobile, its the one from 1969...) flash first other multi-csc rom and set to VIA for future kies updates.
Get my ace a few days ago and flashed sth here and there without thinking about getting back to stock rom later. Had a HD2 some time ago where you get stock rom for all country and provider on htc homepage..
So im sitting here and want my ace back to out-of-box state but no rom ive found seems to be right. looked on sammobile.com, searched xda and at last tons of google results.
didnt know what the name of stock rom was.. only baseband XWKP8 which i only found on some russian site and that it was android 2.3.3. doestn want to try unless sbdy can say me its save..
Got my ace from O2 Germany without contract, so no simlock etc..
My intention is to get some o2 germany rom back, so i can update with kiez to latest. tried a lot of roms from sammobile, modified csc to DBT (germany) and VIA (should to be o2 germany csc code).
[2 Question unsolved]
Had problems with several ROMs with wifi / 3g network, couldnt activate/deactivate or wifi is not getting IP, need to reboot every time to fix that.. Which baseband is best for which rom / my country? (gingerbread, ics, etc...)
Maybe i am spoiled from HD2.. sry for that
PS[Maybe irrelevant: now flashing leaving EFS blank, seems to work fine too, dont know yet if better]: Something else.. Instructions for flashing rom with ODIN are confusing me, sbdy say dont touch PDA others say dont touch EFS. Flashed all the time not touching PDA, putting boot to boot, code to phone, csc to csc and modem to efs. Still have my IMEI so all right or just lucky? Read all the newbie guides (which were very confusing) imo i read sth about backup imei but i am not sure as if and how.
Hope you can help me, thanks for all guys reading and thinking about.
Hey guys!
So I've had my S3 for a few weeks now and i bought it online from Kogan and assumed that the CSC would be XSA because i chose Australia for the firmware update thing when i first booted my phone up.
However Kies shows my phone as being ORS which is the CSC for Slovakia.
I decided that I'm going to flash my phone to another CSC but I'm stuck on whether to change it to XSA (Australian) or to flash an European stock ROM. This is because Australia is horribly slow at receiving updates and most countries in Europe are the first to get them.
So since I have never flashed my S3 before, I would really appreciate it if someone could explain how and where to download the appropriate files from. Basically I want to be able to get updates quickly without having problems here in Australia. Any comment is welcome.
Thanks!

If you want JB now you need to flash the Polish ROM, either ICS and update or just flash one of the ODIN images. Or you can use a custom ROM based on that official release. Start with the sticky threads, then have a look in the development forum.
Hi sorry if this has already been covered but I have a friend who has the korean version s2 currently on 2.3.5 but wants to run unbranded international version of 4.0.4 on it mainly to get past the 90 character sms limit build in, among other things. I attempted to flash the latest unbranded version of 4.0.4 but odin crashes right as it is finishing flashing the factory image. I am back into download mode now, I assume the problem is the korean firmware? ie I can only flash a korean version of ics? is this correct?
Thanks for any help
Dont worry everyone sorted it myself, bit more reading and found out I needed an additional pit file. working fine now.
I'm entirely new to this so try to bear with me
I recently bought a Galaxy SII from a one day deals store and it arrived running Gingerbread 2.3.5. I want to update to the latest version available for the SII however the OTA update won't connect to the server and Kies (after at least two hours trying to get it to recognise my device) has told me that my current firmware can't be updated. Unless someone knows an obvious fix for Kies I guess I'm stuck with having to flash the new firmware using Odin. I'm using a guide on CNET (unfortunately I can't post links yet) that goes through installing ICS but replacing ICS with Jelly Bean.
The biggest problem is which firmware to get. My CSC code is OXA (Open Europe). Do I have to find firmware that matches that or can I just chose any one that I please then follow the guide that I'm using? I've been looking on SamMobile and there is a lot of different regions to chose from but none of them have the OXA CSC code and I don't know what to do. Also, is there anything I should look out for? I don't want to brick my phone.
Thanks in advance for your help. I'm sure it gets tiresome helping people like me.

There you go OXA It seems open Europe ended at 2.3.5 .. No wonder you can't update.. Anyway Poland's firmware should work just fine. Or just search the firmware of your own region. Do remember to do a factory reset after flashing JellyBean!
Alternately I recommend this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 Its the latest firmware Samsung has to offer.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I think I understand now. The CSC is really only relevant to your current version. If I flash Jelly Bean from another region the CSC will just change to that region and still work as normal? Does it have any effect whatsoever on the function of the phone?

Yes CSC is bundled with the firmware. Dunno why but every time I flash a firmware it does not come with CSC and I must flash it manually.. Now that's a whole other story. If you plan on flashing a firmware not related to you region e.g you flash a European firmware while you stay in Asia then the CSC is quite pointless as kies won't let you update through it anyway. That said you must have the correct CSC/Firmware/Modem and region to recieve official updates through Kies. If not updating via Odin is good as well .

Well I live in New Zealand and the phone that I have has the European CSC code. The site that I got it from is called 1-day who claim to find the best prices from around the world in order to give ridiculously low prices. I assume that means that my phone came all the way over from Europe. Based on what you say then, I assume then that the CSC wouldn't matter in my case anyway as even stock, my CSC is in the wrong region?

Its OK at most bring it down to Samsung service centre and ask them to update your phone to the latest they have. They should be more then happy to help.

Awesome, thanks for your help. I'm fine with just flashing it with Odin. I was planning to root it anyway. I'm just trying to find out as much as I can before I try.
