Changing the CSC - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Right now I have a S3 (TMobile UK)
When I try to change the CSC it only gives me the option of TMU.
If I flash my phone with unbranded firmware and then try to change it, will I get all the options I.E. TMU, BTU, ...

Does that mean even if I flash it the list will only say TMU?

I would flash the firmware then see what you get.

No idea I don't know what's inside.Read the CSC in the roms and guide post.

You updated with KOR firmware over whatever the original was .

Dial *#272*YourImei# to chose the CSC available.
Be aware that if you proceed ALL DATA WILL BE LOST!!! So do all necessary backup beforehand.

[Q] Original CSC Code

Does anybody know how to find the original CSC code? I have updated my firmware several times and I don't have the original CSC Code.
Now when I connect to KIES It says "This version of the device can not be updated".
Help
Type *#272*(IMEI)# and you will see the CSC list.Select and done.By doing this it will reboot via (if i remember correctly)factory reset so may be a good idea to back-up but it should warn you first that it will fact/reset so if you want you can cancel and back-up if you havnt already.
EDIT:also depending on what firmware you put on your phone and depending on what your product code also is Kies might not recognize your firmware either.

Thanks for your opinion. There are several CSC Codes and I don't know what code to select. Because I don't know what my original CSC Code was.

Depending on the firmware it may or may not be in there but for singapore see if there is an OLB in there.Some multi CSC packages dont always have what you want.For example most here in XDA dont have FOP for Spain so Im left using KOR instead which is Korea.It works atleast.If its not there you could try OZS for HongKong

If Sri Lanka comes under India in the CSC region then it will be ODD It might not but i cant find it at the moment.

it appears that XDA and samfirmware have conflicting CSCs for india.Samfirmware may 11 for India have ODD and XDA have INU.
Currently I have installed XEU (I think UK). So will this be problem? Actually I don't have sound idea about CSC?

The CSC is just location specific apn settings and maybe bundles apps. Nothing hugely important.
If you are missing your apn settings did net or mms you can just enter them manually or change CSC.

In most cases i wont make any difference.As I said earlier sometimes here in Spain Im forced to use KOR which is Korea and it works fine.If you have an original firmware flashed for your region it should be in there but I find that in my case when I flash the XDA firmwares they usually are missing my CSC although they can be flashed seperatly.If you have a KOR then give it a try to as its probably a better region choice.if it works here in Spain it should be good for Singapore.
Hi,
You can get the Original CSC Code of the phone by using my app: Phone INFO ★Samsung★

So you necroed a 2.5 yr old thread just to post an ad, eh ? Nice one

[Q] How to ID a true sim free GS2?

looking at a near new GS2 here in the UK
How do I ID a true sim free GS2 vs just an unlocked one?
You probably can't if it's been correctly flashed to a generic ROM (which is what I presume you mean by unlocked), but if it hasn't, you can type *#1234# into the dialer and check the CSC.
whats the "CSC"?
CSC = country specific settings network settings etc .
Original Product code Original seller may give you a slight clue .
But network provider sell both locked and unlocked phones .
IMEI checking may give a slight clue as to country of origin

Is getting a simfree/non-locked phone from carrier SAME as getting a phone from retail shop?
Is it necessary that a carrier locked phone will have carrier's logo on it?
If you want to see if your device is sim locked at all you should be able to type the following into the dialer.
*#SIMLOCK#

Two distinct variations

Sure, if you want to downgrade. KE2 is 2.3.3. KI8 (which is what your phone is currently) is 2.3.5.

Any of the 2.3.5 firmwares in that thread are generic. That is the unbranded firmware thread. But I wouldn't worry about it; official unbranded ICS is likely to be posted in that thread as well.

You may not get an update via Kies in all probability using a stock firmware can result in no matching product on Kies server .
You either wait for Kies update or start updating yourself via stock rom path .
The method is to pick stock rom to match your location .

New Vodafone 32GB S3 after Odin stock flash won't let me change CSC

My last one got stolen (long story), and annoyingly this new one won't let me change CSC even after flashing with Odin. When I go to the change CSC option, only one I'm given in the list is VOD. BTU and the others aren't even there to choose from.
Can anyone help me out?
On a side note, it also won't connect to Kies any more either...

Yea, tried that, still no luck. Anyway, I solved the problem now. I just downloaded the FW prior to the link in the OP above, and that had the BTU options. After that I just upgraded to the latest FW using Kies.

[Q] I lost my CSC

I bought my I9100 with Amazon UK. Today I checked Sammy and there are new ROMs for BTU (UK) and XEO (UK/IE). CSC checker from Store is showing me that I have.... KOR csc :laugh: any other way to determine which CSC is mine?

It's showing me the PDA, PHONE and CSC but of the ROM I used (one of the first good JB from Sammy). My problem is that I don't know what it was originally
Check your IMEI online, maybe that info is shown.
