Hi, I've had this doubt for a long time, and I'd be glad if someone could give me a couple of quick answer. What does the CSC affect, and what does changing it do?
Right now using CheckFus it says my CSC is i9300UUBBLG2, and after doing a quick google search, it appears to be from Mexico or Trinidad&Tobago. Being from neither, why does my phone have that CSC? Just by chance?
Also, being in a country where all phones are carrier-unlocked, would changing the CSC to a specific one benefit me? Would having any in particular be better?
Thanks!
At the time of purchase, the phone comes with a certain firmware installed and a certain product code.. When looking for an update with Kies, you are proposed an update only under two conditions: first, the trio PDA-MODEM-CSC must correspond to a firmware officially released for your product code; moreover, it must be available an update for your same product code. CSC (Country Sale Code),
If you install with Odin a firmware different from those that Kies would allow you to install, you're changing the product code. If the firmware that installs and however journal, Kies will continue to suggest updates (if available) but linked to the new product code.
In this way, however, make void the warranty: this is in fact linked to your IMEI, connected to a certain product code at the time of sale.
The CSC is not the same thing as the product code, but similar: the CSC is that part of the firmware that contains customizations (preinstalled applications, icons, sfond .To change CSC uses this application https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sgscsc&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.
Its not an update code nor is it actually required to operate the phone .
CSC is part of the codes that are presented to Kies if you use the official update path . Part of not the whole code required to match to an update .
Kies has nothing to do with the IMEI code .

Sorry guys, I know this is a really stupid question, and I have tried searching around, but I don't seem to understand what the importance of the CSC is?
My phone was originally from O2 on PAYG, and recently I updated it to KE7 using odin since O2's firmware wasn't out. I didn't do anything to change the CSC, but the debranding guides seem to recommend this. Does not changing my CSC to the XEU or whatever have any effect?
Currently Kies says my phone's CSC is KD1 (O2U). I tried using the *#1234# method to find out my phone info, but nothing comes up in the stock dialer when I enter it. The numbers simply disappear and nothing happens. Is this by any chance connected to the fact that I'm on generic firmware but didn't change the CSC?
CSC has an influence on the phone's product code, it's like the version of your firmware. Your product code and CSC will change when you debrand it to a generic firmware or any other firmware for that matter. So your CSC is most likely to be changed already, if it hasn't then do a system reboot by going in to recovery mode.
Does it matter that I haven't changed my CSC to match my generic firmware? Are there any compatibility issues in this situation?

CSC says in effect UK phone use UK settings + list of UK network providers settings .
There are no compatibility issues if it finds your network .
If it works leave it as it is .

I bought one of the pebble blue S3s from Negri Electronics. shipped with a UBALE6 firmware and Kies reports no upgrades available.
I decided to look at what CSC this phone is. I used *#06# to show the IMEI, then *#272*IMEI# and was shown a menu with the following items:
TDR
TTT * this was the selected option
VNO
I know I can change to a different CSC with this menu (though all data will be wiped :-/
But if no other options show up - like for a country with more frequent updates, how do I make that work?
Can I just flash a new multi-CSC firmware, then choose a different CSC? Does it matter?
Any assistance is appreciated!
Well, I took the plunge and installed this firmware:
XXALF2
Firmware Info
PDA: XXALF2
Phone: XXLF2
Date: 05/06/2012
Android Version: 4.0.4
All seems to be working at the moment, including packet data and voice calls.
I do need to do some further app testing, but *#1234# is returning a CSC code which I believe is a good sign.
I did search for some keywords that I thought would have answered my question before posting, but I guess I should have done more research.
Not had to deal with this before as my SGS2 was XEU CSC.

Which data gets wiped? Because I've heard changing the scs code gets ride of default bookmarks, is that true?
I'm not sure what data gets wiped. I only read it on blog posts I found when doing Google searches. Sorry!
I didn't change my csc code at all. Things seem to be ok for now :-D

Just bought a samsung SM-N690F/DS. Newbie with rooting. I tried root but got stuck on SAMSUNG screen logo. I playing with TWRP and end clean whole the phone. I can only booty TWRP and get to DOWNLOAD MODE. I'M looking for the stock rom but i need csc code not sure which region my phone is? is way to find out...I find download mode...but not seeing anything look like csc code. Thanks for any help
Your phone can have any of the supported CSC codes, you just have to flash it.
For start just flash the latest and everything should go back to stock, use this link (https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note9/firmware/SM-N960F/DBT/download/N960FXXS8FUC4/1511407/) or use frija for faster download speeds. It will show as Germany but it is universal(for exynos - N960F - make sure the F is exactly your letter, there are more linke N or U).
After that you should find your country csc code, you can go to this link and select your country(https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note9/firmware/#SM-N960F).
CSC codes are dependent of region(like country) and carrier(SIM network provider). You can choose a specific carrier or use your country(this should have all your country carriers included and no carrier bloat apps included)
Hello,
I have a SIM unlocked S21 from Xfinity Mobile that I'm now using on Verizon Wireless. I need to change the CSC to VZW, anyone know how? I tried all the dialer codes, and also SamKEY but no luck so far.
SamKEY says "unsupported firmware, please downgrade your firmware".
Since January 2021, it's not easy to change CSC, some people do it by flashing firmwares then block whatever app checks SIM & CSC compatibility.
You can check this thread if you're into action.
Thanks, I tried that but somehow it ignores that the VZW SIM card is VZW, and it keeps the CSC as CCT/CCT/CCT.
Even putting in an AT&T sim card, it still keeps it as CCT/CCT/CCT. The carrier name is stuck as "Xfinity Mobile" also, no matter the SIM.
I wish Samsung would implement the "BYOD" thing already for this phone.. Or maybe SamKEY will work eventually...
What's interesting is that it changes the APN to the correct one automatically for the 3 SIM cards I've tried (VZW, CCT, ATT)
Firmware bug I guess, or Samsung has not yet fully implemented the "BYOD" feature referenced here:
Move your Galaxy phone to a different service carrier
If you unlock your phone to use with another carrier, it's easy to take advantage of all your new carrier's features without losing any of your data.

how many credits do I need to change CSC?
On the samkey page it says that you need 8 credits
No, if I remember correctly it's only 1 credit to change the CSC.

Hi, I'm trying to change my CSC to XME (Malaysia). I downloaded the files using Frija. After flashing, my phone's CSC is now XXV (Vietnam) instead.
`XXV/XXV,XXV/EUY".
Note that I am unrooted and I'm trying to change the CSC region by using official firmware so I can still keep my Knox and warranty intact.
Wondering where did I do wrong? Help is greatly appreciated.
Update:
I've managed to change my CSC for Android 12.
When you flash a multi CSC firmware, it seems to be defaulting to a CSC which in my case, is the Vietnam XXV CSC.
I found a free tool that could change the CSC called SamFw FRP Tool 2.5
All I need to do is flash it with Odin again and when the initial setup screen shows up, go into an emergency call and type in *#0*# which will take you into the test mode.
After that, use the tool to change CSC with the tool then complete the rest of the setup on your phone.
P/s: Samsung Pay does not seem to work. When I add a card, it says invalid information when authenticating with the bank.
Hopefully the FRP tool is from a reliable source. The error message could mean the opposite. Normally the CSC from multi region is selected by the SIM cards country. Did you have 2x Malaysia inserted on first boot after flashing? Also there are dialer codes that bring up a menu to select a specific region, I think best chances are with Google phone app. You would need to search for these codes for your device.
Samsung Pay in german, CSC is EUX fix, 5 minutes
Hello This also works with most Samsung phones If anyone is struggling with Samsung pay being in German and has the csc being EUX, I know how to solve the issue and it only takes about 5 minutes. Basically the csc is set to EUX, which is the new European standard, but for some reason, Samsung...

Another update, Samsung Pay works after I register with another bank. It was the old bank's fault. Not the phone or CSC region change. The CSC region change worked for Samsung Pay as well from the very begining.
