[Q] CSC Keeps changing to kor - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Galaxy works fine but after a power down or a reboot the csc changes to kor
any way to make this stick to uk perm thanks in advance
AP:I9300XXALF2
CP:I9300XXLF2
CSC I9300OXAALF2

i had this problem, on three UK, went from LE8 to LF2, then cf-root 6.2, then *#272*imei# to change CSC to BTU but kept reverting to KOR, the only thing i didnt do was to erase cache & dalvik cache or factory reset of sd, in the end i edited mps_code.dat in the efs folder, Now this worked for me BUT i dont know if its safe, ive heard of people messing up their IMEI editing things in the EFS folder. maybe factory reset & reset cache/dalvik in CWM will fix it?

let me know how you get on

Thanks for that goodie edited it back to h3g and installed the stock firmware again for the moment :good:

LF2 & manual edit to BTU worked fine for me & recognised by Kies also, Kies states im on the latest firmware, dont know if you can flash the LE8 (H3G) CSC only with odin or if it'll need to match LF2, i take it three Uk hasnt released official LF2 yet?

[Q] Debranding - I have to factory reset, but a question

Hey everyone, so I'm on an SGS2 with O2 branding and KE2 via Kies. I rooted and got Titanium Backup PRO.
I've seen the new KE7 firmware is out for the XEU (unbranded) handsets, and I'm thinking it might just be better to unbrand for greater speed in getting these updates in future.
Point is, by now I've kinda customised my phone nicely, set up apps and emails and settings and so on. But, I hear that to proper set the CSC to XEU, you must factory reset.
My question is this - between Kies Backup and Titanium Backup, can I factory reset to fix CSC, then just restore these two backups and basically be right back to all my nicely customised phone? I'm mainly talking SMS messages, contacts, settings, email and apps really.
Thanks
Matt

Try a free app called MyBackup Root from the Market, it can back up media and data
Don't need factory reset if you install posted update it'd xeu
Factory reset is if you have more than one csc and change that from phone setting

But the guide on Debranding / Rebranding says
STEP 8- One last final step is to change your CSC code by typing this code in the phone dialer *#272*<your IMEI># (the code will be listed at the top of the screen. If you're coming from O2 PAYG handset it should say O2U. Now Enter recovery (volume up, home, power keys together) and do a factory reset and choose reboot phone Check your CSC code again Hopefully it will now say XEU

Are you sure jje that my CSC will change to XEU if I flash KE7 using Odin?

Just thought I'd report my results - KIES was useless and failed to restore a buttload of stuff (erroring out on call logs). Google restored most of my apps and contacts, and titanium got the apps and their data. I had to set up my accounts (email, facebook, twitter) again, and so I lost any contact links. I also lost my home screen and applications layout information.
Not too bad really.
If your firmware contains more than one CSC then you change it and that requires a factory reset .
All the firmwares i have updated via Odin have been XEU only CSC .
Including the O2 rom posted .
Original O2 rom was O2U CSC every rom flashed since has been XEU every time .

[Q] Update radio (modem) only?

Hi,
I've had my Samsung Galaxy SII (GT-i9100) since around 10th of May this year. It came with a firmware ending with *1, but the first thing I did was to upgrade it to XWKE2 via Kies on my PC. That was a good firmware. I had no problems with it ... The only annoying part was that the camera made shuttersounds all the time, even when the phone was silenced to vibrate only. That was fixed in XWKF3 which I'm running now. The MAJOR problem with XWKF3 is that the radio/modem is ****ed up beyond recognition.
On KE2 I had like H or H+ all the time, and if no H/H+ I had E. Nothing in between. Now I see 3G almost more than I see H/H+, even though I'm in the same areas as before. Also when my phone goes toggling between 3G and H or stays on 3G - I do not have Internet access. It's like a huge "no route to host" appears on 3G, or if the phone toggles and cannot agree on ONE thing.
So I would like to upgrade the radio only. Why? Well I've been trough a few of the original firmwares from samfirmware.com and here, Mostly XWKE2 (which made my phone loop on boot), XWKF3, XXKG6 and XWKG3 (I think). Main problem with XXKG6 was that it didn't have Norwegian (for Swype or keyboard at all, but UI was present in Norwegian). Others was either looping on boot or I was using them to upgrade back to the original firmware (now XWKF3 with radio XXKE7 and XXKF1 for CSC).
Two questions ... Can I use Odin (I've got 1.85 as the latest) to upgrade ONLY the "Modem"-part? From XXKE7 to XXKG6?
Is there a way to get Norwegian Swype on the XXKG6? Maybe "keep" an older NEE-based CSC? Because .. Swype is a part of CSC not PDA/Code, right?

Yes, you can upgrade the modem separately.

swpye is not part of the csc, the language only is part of the csc.
Swype is app that can be updated or installed seperately and has links to the csc.
Untar the file using something like 7-zip.
Just use the modem.bin, and tar it back using 7-zip, flash with Odin under phone.
If not, you can download one of the Clockwork version, and replace the modem file, then rezip and upgrade with Clockwork Recovery.
Flash your Modem KG6 and Flash CSC KF1 for your area Modem in Phone and CSC in CSC via Odin . A CSC is only a bunch of text files with network details language etc .
jje
So summarized ... I can use Odin and _only_ tick "Modem" and pick the XXKG6-Modem, or do I need a CSC as well? I have today the Stock XWKF3, with radio XXKE7 and CSC KF1. The only ****ing thing bothering me with this stock rom, is that the radio went FUBAR after update (compared to how it behaved on XWKE2)

So ... With XXKG6 (to differ from XWKF3) I will not get Norwegian Swype, even if I custom with Odin to keep my KF1-CSC? I will have to wait for a XWK*-release of Android 2.3.4 to have my Swype with norwegian dictionaries?
you can flash the modem only.
csc is used in relation to your swype question.
Will do a flash of my radio later tonight after work then. I really hope it goes more stable again. Samsungs Customer Service is crap ... "Have you tried to reset your phone?" - "Yeah, your radio software still sucks!" ... "Well sir, try to fabric reset your phone" - "Say that again, and I will strangle you!!" ...

Galaxy 2 always losing 3g / data

Hi,
I have lighting rom 6.1 installed XXKH3 (what this means?? XXKH3??), I have a Samsung Galaxy from Portugal and my 3g / data only works when I do a factory reset and in next boot it goes away. Even if i try to create an APN it crashes when i select New APN. I tried to change the CSC to TPH (portugal) with the *#272*......, also installed a MultiCSC OXXKE2 because the lighting rom didn't bring TPH, and also copy the CSC portuguese files with a .zip in recovery. First time after selecting TPH in *#272 everything works good, but next reboot stop working again. I checked with *#272 that TPH is selected and i don't understant what is happening. Please help because i can't use internet.
Thanks,
Raven
Try a different modems and find out what works the best for you. That would be my best bet.
Most roms included a modem and it is possible that the modem you use is not the best for your location. I don't why chefs always include a modem in the package, because the modem version that works best for you, will probably not work as good for me.
In this case, the latest modem does not need to be the best.

CSC, Photo (low batery) and Flash Question

Hello!
1)
I have actualy flashed KF3. When battery goes down to 19% its not possible to take a Photo. Every time i start the Application there is a promt with low Battary warning. What the fu** ? I want to make a picture when i want, and not when andoird allows me to take a picture! If i turn off the automatic power managemend, its the same.
So any ideas to avoid that?
2)
I have flashed KF3 XEU firmware and want to update to the actual XWKI4 DBT (its original a DBT device). So, after flashing with odin, whats with my settings and home screens etc.? Have i reconfigure everything?
If everything is los, how can i make a backup of all my settings?
1) That's normal, you need as hacked camera.apk. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104051
2) All the ROMs posted are non-wipe, unless when stated, so you won't lose your data.
Perfect thank you!
Hi, my current fw is uhkg4. Can I flash to ki3? Are there some restriction?
No but KI3 is not official and bootloader no longer lets us clear custom rom counter with usb jig .
jje
So, i flashed my XEU KF3 with DBT XWKI4 but, after flashing my CSC is still set to XEU.
How can i Change my CSC to DBT?
*#272*Device IMEI# doesnt offer my DBT for installing.
I think a factory reset will do fine ore?
Any ideas how i can backup and recover my settings after factory reset?
Second problem:
After flashing mini paper widget doesnt work
Cant write anything in the widget.

[Q] Debranded a phone but nothing changed

Hi all, I've had a few vodaphone S2s and debranded them with no problem, I got one today and flashed stock 9100XWLP7_I9100XXLPS_I9100XEULP5_HOME.tar.md5 odin said it all went fine, but it didn't reset anything, all the old messages and setting apps etc were still on the phone, the only difference about the phone is that this one had a swipe unlock rather than PIN does that make an difference?
Edit: my bad i forgot to wipe/factory reset, order is restored
