[Q] CSC: unknown after flashing - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought a phone online, and it contained German software.
More specifically:
AP: I9300XXALF6
CP: I9300XXLF5
CSC: I9300DBTALF4
Following the thread by Intratech, I initially flashed it with a rom from sammobile:
GT-I9300_PHN_I9300XXALE8_I9300PHNALE4_I9300XXLE8.tar.md5
Then I first saw the CSC: Unknown
After, I tried it with the rom from the thread by Intratech (it took 2hrs to dload that's why ):
I9300XXALEF_I9300PHNALE4_I9300XXLEF_HOME.tar.md5
Still the problem persist.
Finally I tried to just flash the CSC:
CSC_I9300PHNALE4.tar.md5
I have tried *#272*MY IMEI# to see if the phone would even list it, but it's not there. All I see is an unchecked:
Sales Code: DBT ( )
I'm using Odin 3.04 for all this, since KIES won't provide me with a working MTP driver (Code 1.)
Currently my phone lists the following:
AP: I9300XXALEF
CP: I9300XXLEF
CSC: Unknown
So, should I bother with fixing this at all? And if so, I guess the only option left is rooting it and manually editing some system files? I wonder if this is related at all to Berichten (Messages) being totally useless. It just stops at boot, or when you tick the icon.

I wiped the device, rebooted, and reflashed I9300XXALEF_I9300PHNALE4_I9300XXLEF_HOME.tar.md5
Now it has a CSC and Messages is no longer crashing. Beats me...
AP: I9300XXALEF
CP: I9300XXLEF
CSC: I9300PHNALE4

[Q] unable to connect to GT-I0100. Failed to retrive device information

Hi,
After i upgrade to ICS 4.0, my kies don´t conect with my Galaxy S2.
My backup is in Kies, i need recover.
Versao Android: 4.0.3
Versão de banda de Base I0100UHLPF
VErsao Kernel: 3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ
Thanks
First try to flash some official ROM from SamMobile for your Country/Carrier with Kies support.
My Rom is Oficial.
It is I9100VJLP7_I9100ZTOLP4_ZTO.zip
Please, type *#1234# on dial pad and post the result here.
PDA: Blank
PHONE: Blank
CSC: Unknown
Build info: Tue Apr 10 07:20:15 KST 2012
This is definitely not what it should be.
Try *#272*Your IMEI#. You can find IMEI in phone status. This should allow you to reset CSC to ZTO in your case.
WARNING! This will full wipe your phone!
So, i get this screen:
Preconfig
Sales Code ZTO ( I can´type in this text box)
an selection Box
Install and Cancel
When, i click in Install i get this error:
Must Be THREE chars.
This is exactly the same situation I had on my phone. You need to restore your CSC folder and then to reset CSC.
I did not find any universal method, how to do that. I have tried several samsung ROMs to try the one that helped me.
Maybe one of these http://androidfirmwares.net/PhoneFirmware marked with ZTO would help you, but I cannot guarantee.
You need to find such ROM that would allow you to use *#272*Your IMEI# successfully to restore CSC to ZTO.
Or if you have a friend with SGS2 running rooted Samsung stock ROM from the same operator, you can restore /system/CSC folder from his/her phone. But I did not test this way.
Hi, sorry for the dalay in responding
i did the following:
I downloaded the Odin Mobile, and install Rom again, and work, show me CSC, and my GS2 conected in Kies...
Thanks so much for your help

Hello friends
First i have to say that this is one of the most used forums for me when i have problems with some phones:good:
For good that I never had to post some questions and I found everything.
But now I have a problem with mi Galaxy s3
Some days ago I installed a new Firmware directly from the phone.
Before i had this one:
Ap: I9300BUALF1
Cp: I9300BULF1
CSC: I9300SWCALF1
After the Update the two Apps "Phone" and "Contacts" were gone
So I tought that i can download manually download my provider firmware and flash it with odin...
After the reboot of the flashing, first message was: "unfortunately massaging has stopped"
Then I checked the firmware:
Ap: I9300BUBLG3
Cp: I9300BULG2
CSC: UNKNOWN
so i tried to choose the CSC manually with *#272*MY IMEI#
There i see nothing to choose only the sales code "SWC" and a clear button. When I choose the clear button and try to install it he says "must be three chars"
In Samsung Kies i have a backup of my contacts an so one. But the kies does not recognize now my phone...
How do i have to reset or flash the phone to have my factory settings with all running local apps to restore the data from kies
Hope that you can help me
Bruno

[Q] Beginner Problem GT-P5100 - Flashing XSA (Australia) Firmware

Hi Guys, new to this so please indulge me a little!
Purchased two GT-P5100 Samsung Galaxy Tab 2s for the kids, checked the software version using *#1234# and received this:
AP: P5100UBALD4
CP: P5100UBLD4
CSC: P5100UUBALD4
Connect them to kies and it displays: latest firmware version: PDA:LD4 / PHONE:LD4 / CSC:LD4 (TTT)
Checked these at SamMobile:
GT-P5100 - Trinidad and Tobago
PDA: P5100UBALD4
CSC: P5100UUBALD4
Version: 4.0.3
Modified: 2012-04-17
Checked in firmware and files for Australian version (XSA) and found that here sammobile. com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-P5100&pcode=XSA&os=1&type=3#firmware
Downloaded the firmware and flash programs files. Flash programs contained odin3 V1.87 and signed_espresso_20120220_16G.pit Firmware file contained: P5100XWALE3_P5100XSAALE1_P5100XXLD7_HOME.tar.md5
Put the tab into download mode after shutting down using power+volume right then volume left to enter odin mode.
Connected the tab with the usb cable, attached the pit file using PIT button then attached the md5 file using the PDA button. Re-partition deselected, auto-reboot & f.reset time were both selected, flash lock not selected. Pressed the start button. Process completed and the tab rebooted as normal.
Tried using *#1234# and received this:
AP: P5100XWALE3
CP: P5100XXLD7
CSC: P5100XSAALE1
When I connected to Kies I now see this:
"Your devices current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies.
Current firmware version: PDA:LE3 / PHONE:LD7 / CSC:LE1 (TTT)
I assumed rightly or wrongly that the country designator should have changed to XSA. Does anyone have any idea if I have missed something in the process?
I checked Setting > About Device:
Model Number:
GT-P5100
Android version:
4.0.3
Baseband version:
P5100XXLD7
Kernel version:
3.0.8-546364-user
[email protected]#1
Build Number:
IML74K.P5100XWALE3
Within status, device status is normal
Appreciate any advice you can offer.
Cheers Paul

all that you do its correct, you dont miss enything.
Maybe your tab was imported from another region, and that's happened when you try to update with kies(not supported)
Don't worry, i'll be waiting for kies(or OTA) to update my tab from last year...and nothing.
Last week i get my tab updated with odin and fw from samfirmware.
As log as you use official rom you are in warranty .
Note that you're posting this in the Galaxy Tab forum when your device is a Galaxy Tab 2. Posting your question in the appropriate forum will more likely find other Australian users.
Thanks

Thanks for your input, I managed to solve the problem myself by performing a factory reset. Device now displays XSA in Kies.

[Q] CSC code not changing help!

Hello
Today I installed OMEGA rom 43.6 4.1.2 on my rooted s3. I cannot connect to my netowrk. I have done every single thing including changing modem and checking IMEI number and whatnot. My CSC code wont change. I tried changing it (I do have root and busy box installed) through the csc changer app but it doesnt change. It stays the same. I tried converting it to my country but it didnt work..
This was my previous ssettings. I live in Pakistan
AP: I9300XXEMA2
CP: I9300XXELLA
CSC: I9300OJVEMA1
And the ones attached in the image are the ones which are not changing..
Search in General Thread. They are a topic containing CSC collection.
Take the correct file and flash it with your Recovery.
But wrong CSC are not responsible of your network connection problem. It only contains information concerning sales codes ... used by Google Play for example. A phone with bad CSC can send/receive calls/messages...

Really strange issue with CSC / Baseband / IMEI

I have a really strange problem going off here and I am hoping that a few people in the know can help.
On my ongoing saga / quest or even visit in to the twilight zome trying to get my phone repaired I have come up on a new issue.
I have managed to get the phone to boot using this ROM - KIES_HOME_I9300XXELL4_I9300OXAELL4_566833_REV00_user_low_ship.tar which I flashed via odin.
I ended up having my baseband back reporting as - I9300XXELL4 and the infamous IMEI coming up as 0049*.
Now I run terminal emulator this is what I have
getprop ro.bootloader - I9300XXUGMK6
getprop ro.baseband - unknown
Then when I run samsung phone info I get the following
CSC INFO
Original CSC code - KOR
Firmwares CSC code - KOR
Active CSC code - KOR
CSC country - Korea
CSC Country ISO - blank
Product code - GT-I9300RWDEUR
The Korea part baffles me as everytime I have downloaded a ROM I have looked for BTU as I am in the UK and from the digging I have done this phone was unlocked.
So even to someone like me with very limited knowledge of this sort of stuff, it looks like I have a combination of a 4.3 Bootloader and 4.1.2 system which could be stopping me from getting my IMEI up?
Would flashing a MK6 BTU Modem ( as I am in the UK ) through Odin work?
Unknown baseband means hardware failure, csc is unimportant.
To set the csc to match firmware you need to factory reset in recovery, after flashing.

So in phone settings it is showing as the I9300XXELL4 baseband however in terminal emulator it is unknown what does that mean?
