Cannot change CSC - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I have this weird problem...
I have recived this phone from a friend, it came with damaged EFS/NV_DATA folder, (Damaged with the unlock tool, IMEI 0049....)
I rooted the phone + rebuild the IMEI with USB + Unlock + UART cable + SPT box, and everything worked like a charm...
After this I want to return it back to stock, as my friend does not need root, and has no intentions of flashing a custom rom to the handset...
So I just flashed a stock NEE to it, checked the CSC with *#272*IMEI# it is set to NEE... But when I use kies it is recognised as XXX... So flashed a few stock NEE roms to it (Also from my box support area), every time I check the CSC on the phone, it tells me that it is NEE... But when I try with Kies, it is still recognised as a XXX
I then tried to flash a XAB to it, changed the CSC to XAB, after I flashed the NEE rom back to it, checked again, and it is set to NEE, but kies still tells me CSC is XXX...
This is really annoying, can anyone post a multi CSC rom, where I can hit NEE and install with getting the annoying "must be three characters"
Best regards

First question has to be is it the original IMEI .

Ofcause, I only do IMEI rebuild, I do not do IMEI change at all

You can always push CSC files to system if rooted as a work around .
BUT
My guess is that Kies is reading the HIDSWVER keys in the registry as XXX
as per this post from SGS2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14010996&postcount=1
delete those keys and restart or reinstall Kies.

I have tried to delete the intire post in regedit, and also used another PC, still the same issue... This is just weird
I also get this
#MANUAL MODE#
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC-code: NEE
Successfully applied multi_CSC
So it should be recognised correctly as a NEE phone

Has this been solved?

if u want to change your csc, then this is the solution.
1. press phone under keypad.
2. Press*#06# (copy down your imei number)
3. press *#272*imei# (key in the imei that u have copied down from step 2)
4. Menu will appear with alot of selection. just select the csc u want to install.
5. phone will reboot and u got ur csc installed.
(NOTE : IT WILL COMPLETELY WIPE YOUR DATA SO PLEASE BACKUP.)
If you find this is useful please click the thanks button.
thanks.
It installs NEE - but in kies it still says XXX
I really cant get this working. It stays on xxx in kies.
i found this, but have no clue what to do:
Work around has just been to copy the relevant \CSC folder and two CSC files + SW conf file to phone deleting originals . Files have been ripped from original firmware nandroid backup .
Factory reset and all changed .
No one able to help ?

Kies does not update stock firmware if product codes do not match firmware on the server .
Find your firmware and flash via Odin wrong CSC see the CSC post and install .
Dev section stock roms .

One is your IMEI original if not restore your backed up EFS folder .
Have you entered the network settings ,
Is it the correct firmware with your location modem and CSC ??

probability is that the CSC would not have a clue as to who your network is enter network settings manually .
Modem is a question of try each .
jje
i got the mobile back from a local store RAYA and they said they can`t do it cause it is from other region. so i`m totally yours i will try to get the German ROM which have the modem and csc. if there any help i will gladly accept it thanks in advance

CSC Unknown and Messages app crashes

Hi guys.
I'm an Italian user. Yesterday I flashed my Samguns Galaxy S3 I9300 branded Vodafone Italy, with this ROM I9300XXALF6_I9300ITVALF1_ITV.zip
Here steps i've followed:
1) Reset factory defaults
2) Flash with odin
3) Reset factory defaults again
Now I've two problems:
1) *#1234* shows me CSC Unknown and so I can't connect my phone with Kies
2) Messages Apps crashes every time
I've tried also other official ROMs like OMN (Italian branded ROM) and results are the same.
Could You help me please?
You do know that you are asking a question in the wrong thread? All questions need to be asked in the Q & A section.
You need to flash the stock rom for your phone when you recieved it and type the following in your dialer. *#272* followed by your IMEI number and then #. This should bring a menu with all the common csc, select the apprioate one and install. Do note that your data on the phone will be wiped and you will return to factory settings.
If it helps, hit the thanks button

Flash your CSC from this thread.
moved to q&a
I've flashed my CSC and nothing changed.
If I enter *#272*IMEI# I can see ITV but if I enter *#1234# result is always "CSC Unknown".

Even though the tip in post2 works to show a list of CSC, I have flashed PHN CSC, but it is not listed. Just DBT, probably because that is what the phone got shipped with.
I bought a German phone, but I need a PHN CSC.
I solved my problem by flashing firmware with Odin Mobile

Unable To Alter CSC

I decided to revert my S3 to stock firmware after trying out different JB roms so after flashing XXALE8 (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 ) via mobile odin, wiping data and cache then factory resetting i got the message " messaging not working" After checking *#1234# I got AP:19300XXALE8 CP:19300XXLE8 CSC:Unknown (see screenshot) then after checking *#272*IMEI# this showed up (see screenshot 2) I've even tried it with 19300 XXBLG8 and have the same problem. Messaging work ok using Omega ICS and JB roms Cyanogen mod 9 and 10 super Nexus builds 2 and 3 and also various Samsung JB test firmware. I have even downloaded the separate csc tar files and flashed them with mobile odin. If anyone has an idea how to solve my problem i will be very greatful. Oh and the reason I have been using mobile odin is because i run Linux and odin doesn't work via wine.
Everytime i revert back to stock this happens to me i just flash stock rom two or three times and it sorts itself out. Dont know why it does and theres no technique it just does

Thanks I will give it a try
You can also try flashing just the CSC. If you have just one file with the whole rom, just load it in Mobile Odin and clear everything except cache and hidden (that is the CSC).
i tried flashing the csc via mobile odin too :/
Why bother changing CSC if the phone works .
jje
I don't want to change the csc, I want it to work and therefore sms messaging to work. Everything else is fine with the phone

Usual reason for that is wrong network details /APN or wrong message centre number .
CSC is not required for SMS to work .

oh i thought they were connected, sorry if my thread title was misleading. For now, have reflashed Super Nexus and sms is working but will re try stock rom and look into APN/ message centre number when I have more free time.
found out the problem was in fact mobile odin, after the latest update earlier today, I re tried and everything flashed smoothly without any trouble.

[Q] Help with CSC issues

I all,
I am having problems with the CSC on my wife's SGS3. She was sent a German version S3 (twice) as a replacement for a damaged phone from her insurance company.
This has a CSC code of DBT
As the CSC list (using *#272*imei#) only contained DBT, I flashed the phone using odin with official LLA-JellyBean (CSC-Code BTU) so I could put it as a UK handset.
Now when I plug it into kies i get this:
YOUR DEVICE'S CURRENT FIRMWARE VERSION IS NOT SUPPORTED TO UPDATE FIRMWARE VIA KIES
CURRENT FIRMWARE VERSION: PDA:LLA / PHONE:LLA / CSC:LLA (DBT)
(Cant remember off hand what it was but it wasn't LLA prior to the flash)
I have tried all i can think of to correct this.
When i run the *#272 thing it comes up:
USSD CODE RUNNING
then:
UNKNOWN APPLICATION
I have tried the Samsung Galaxy S / S2 /S3 CSC app from play store, again I get message when I run it:
UNKNOWN APPLICATION
I have gone into recovery mode and get the following (in yellow beside the droid icon):
#MANUAL MODE#
--APPLYING MULTI CSC
APPLIED THE CSC-CODE: DBT
SUCCESSFULLY APPLIED MULTI-CSC
I have also tried WIPING DATA CACHE and FACTORY RESET from recovery mode
None of this has made any difference, (all done in the order as I have listed it above) please could somebody point me in the right direction before I pull out what remaining hair I have left.
Download the latest stock full rom for UK and Europe XXEMB5 from one of the below and flash via odin. then carry out a factory reset.

I have tried this but the flash failed. I have also tried to re-flash the LLA version I had put on previously
Odin says the COM Port cannot be opened

Thank you djembey. Rather than uninstall kies and risk losing backups (couldnt be bothered to find files and move them) including for my own S3, I ran the flash from my wife's laptop. I plugged phone in first so drivers installed then phone flashed successfully.
However the CSC has remained DBT even though I flashed the BTU version

I think there is somewhere a thread with flashable csc packages or you could try the csc changer app (will format your phone though).

Thank you. I have had a look through the threads you referred to but it looks a bit confusing (though could just be how its written). Think I'll leave phone as is.
