hi all
i received a new SGS2 today, its locked to 3 UK. i am on T-mobile so needed to unlock it.
i rooted using the guide here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
using the insecure kernal for my current fw from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671
the firmware i used was: GT-I9100_XWKE1_insecure as that is what is on the phone as stock.
so i rooted it, then flashed back to GT-I9100_XWKE1_original to get rid of the yellow warning triangle (as per guide),
then i downloaded the unlock app and it found an unlock code - Great!
so put my t-mobile sim in and it said it was successful, it lists T-mobile when i pull the notification bar down and i have chosen select automatically under networks but i cant seem to call or text but the data is working fine (without wifi)
any ideas? i have tried a Giffgaff sim and vodafone sim to no avail.
only thing worth mentioning is my t-mobile sim is a micro sim from t-mobile (proper one, not cut), so ive just an adapter which works fine in other phones.
is this a sign of the phone being barred?
Info from phone:
PDA: I9100XWKE1
PHONE: I9100NEKD5
CSC: I9100H3GKD4
thanks in advance!
Sim may not be read correctly is first guess .
Enter the TMobile settings and APN etc manually .
Your CSC is 3 UK you may require the XEU CSC as i would presume 3 only has its own settings in its own CSC .

Hi Ive installed Westcrips rom 8.6 which is great but my CSC has changed from XEU to ODK and there is no option for XEU in CSC list. Does it really matter what CSC and can anyone tell me another CSC to use for UK cause dont have XEU in list. Thanks and what a great site
You can just flash csc package from intratech thread should change back to xeu but you might lose all your data

If you used MobileODIN, try reflashing the same ROM, but having the .md5 in the external SD card, not in the internal storage.
I had this issue once and that's what worked for me.
Anyhow, forget about the Brazilian ROMs (such as ZTO). They are all outdated already.
Get one from NEE (new) or ITV (newest). They are better, newer, leaner and work flawlessly in Brazil (and yes, they both contain Brazilian Portuguese).
may I ask you to show me which one (ITV) should I use? Or just tell me what country I should look for in checkfus!
Thanks !!

Raphael, if you're going to use the non-GUI version of CheckFus Downloader, this is the command line to get it:
Code:
CheckFusDownloaderCmd.exe -dl I9300XXALF6/I9300ITVALF1/I9300XXLF5/I9300XXALF6 ITV GT-I9300
Otherwise, for the GUI version, just copy/paste the parts below in the "Firmware info" of CheckFus Downloader 2.1:
Product Code: GT-I9300MBDITV
PDA: I9300XXALF6
CSC: I9300ITVALF1
Phone: I9300XXLF5
then click on "Check Firmware" and then "Download".
it was not so easy to find it in checkfus...I didn't find in gui version, and on nongui I downloaded, but after the download the program crashes and broke the file. 3 times.
But I found it at Sammobile, downloaded and already flashed! Thank you again!
Mine's also says CSC Unknown... I'm on Official JB Polish rom... do I have to flash that CSC package?? But what is the one correspondent to the Official JB Polish??
I have the same thing after the Polish ROM. Does having an unknown CSC actually matter for any reason?
Threads seem to indicate that it doesn't, and my phone is working normally, but maybe I'm missing something obvious.
CSC may play a part if your network has fast dormancy .
CSC essentially contains a list of network setting for local areas .
Example
<Country>UK & IRE</Country><CountryISO>GB</CountryISO><Region>EUR</Region><SalesCode>BTU</SalesCode><NbNetworkInfo>20</NbNetworkInfo>-<NetworkInfo><MCCMNC>23410</MCCMNC><NetworkName>O2 UK Pay Monthly</NetworkName></NetworkInfo>-<NetworkInfo><MCCMNC>23410</MCCMNC><NetworkName>O2 UK Pay & Go</NetworkName></NetworkInfo>-<NetworkInfo>
CSC code is part of the HDSWVER code that is used for Kies /Ota updates if anyone actually uses that route .

You have corrupted CSC, Flash the rom again in Odin as CSC, i.e. put the MD5 file in CSC instead of PDA and it will fix the problem.
You have better reset your firmware by using "Firmware Upgrade And Initialization" in your Samsung KIES 2.5.0.12114_1.
You don't need a correct CSC for your phone as it will just download the firmware for you according to the serial number you provided to the software. However, please back up your phone first as it may delete all your data.
Is there a way to fix this WITHOUT resetting? I didn't encounter it until recently. I assume it's something related to using Mobile Odin, but not sure.

I am not sure about that. Maybe you just try to download the CSC corresponding to your firmware version and flash it with odin, but I don't know if it will reset your phone.
Anyone who really does know how to fix this (or if it is even necessary)?
I also had this problem. Reflashing the firmware again fix it for me.

Reflashed via desktop Odin, rooted via Chainfire's latest root method. Reset. Flashed CWM touch. Device status is Normal and CSC is correct.
Just for future reference, in case anyone searches for this later. This was the actual problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950082
Simply reflashing the ROM via Mobile Odin and allowing the stock recovery to be flashed solved it. Flash the CWM recovery later, if you want it.
Works like a charm.
Anyone know where to find this?

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

Hello,
I'm asking this here because it looks like you guys might be able to help me understand how CSC work.
I'm trying to understand why I'm not getting the UK Jellybean update, bought my Galaxy s3 phone from Amazon it said UK unlocked.
Here's what my phone "About device" says
Model: GT-9300
Version:4.0.4
Baseband version:i9300XXLF2
Build number:IMM76D.I9300XXALF2
When I run *#1234#
it gives
AP: I9300XXALF2
CP:I9300XXLF2
CSC:I9300OJVALF2
Now from what I've read and looking here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
this would indicate a stock official firmware apart from the CSC
As I understand it the above CSC mean my phone is OJV, while to get the UK update I have to have CSC BTU.
I've tried the CSC selector software but BTU doesn't appear and the phone appears to be set on MWD (this is also what KIES shows)
Can anyone help me untangle and understand this.
Thanks.

Hi. Your phone has African firmware with a multi CSC. There is no Official release yet for Africa. Thats why you are not getting updates. You have 2 options.......1: To wait for the official update for your firmware 2: to download XXDLJ4 and flash it with odin. You will have exactly same result whichever option you choose.

Hello.
I have a problem with changing the CSC of my phone. My phone is a branded i9300 with the stock CSC: ORO. I've flashed I9300XXDLJ4 and my CSC became unknown. Then i tried to flash only the BTU CSC but with the same result: CSC unknown. Also i downloaded the CSC select app but it gives me this error : "process com.android.phone has stopped". also i've wiped data and cache before and after flashing the rom. Do you guys have a solution for my problem or if a have a branded phone i cannot change my CSC?
When I enter in recovery mode it always says something like "Manual MODE. Applied Multi CSC. Applied CSC ORO".

It happens when the cache.img (it has the CSC files) is not flashed properly when you are using Odin.... if the flashing process gets interrupted due to a reboot ..you will have to flash the firmware again after a full wipe..

Yes, thank you, I've now realised this. I bought the phone on Amazon where it was described as UK unlocked. Obviously this wasn't entirely accurate..
I'm new to this so I'm going to wait a little longer in case the official update is released shortly while I do some more reading.
If I wanted to go the second root, just out of interest, how did you know to suggest XXDLJ4 as the ROM I need to flash, there seem to be so many out there. Sorry if this is a total noob question.
Thanks.
Simple method is to use CHECKFUS to download any current firmware and flash via ODIN .
