I purchased an SIII in Australia that is unbranded and not tied to a carrier. The CSC for this is XSA. However, I was initially having battery life issues so decided to flash the Stock Vodafone Australia ROM (carrier I use) to see if there were any network optimisations that I was missing out on. There didn't seem to be, so I flashed back to an XSA rom.
HOWEVER - it now seems that my CSC has been changed from XSA to VAU, and even though I have flashed back to an XSA ROM, the CSC hasn't changed back properly. I don't want to delay getting OTA updates by being associated with VAU, and have to flash the updates manually.
Can anyone advise how I can get back a proper XSA product code?
Before flashing to VAU ROM: See attached Before.jpg
After flashing back to XSA ROM: See attached After.jpg
When I use the *code to open up the CSC menu, there are no optioned listed to change back to the XSA CSC See attached CSC.jpg

Well, I'm not sure what the difference is. My 'Product Code' is what has the VAU in it, but when I launch the CSC changer,it shows VAU there as well, but the CSC is the Sammobile app shows XSA.
The CSC changer apps just launch the CSC changer in the phone as far as I can tell (As per my screenshot attached), but there are no options in that list for me to select.

Hi Guys
Apologies in advance if this is a duplication of the existing thread. I hope this information will be useful for newbies. Can somebody please explain in details:
1. What CSC is? What kind of information is stored in those files? Here I would appreciate an extended answer or a link to the detailed explanation.
2. How to find out the list of changes in a specific CSC version and difference with compared to previous version I have installed?
3. How to read CSC version and what those letter mean?
I will give you an example:
There are 3 different I9100XWKE7 stock firmwares on samsfirmware. All are called the same and the only difference is in CSC part:
MULTI - CSC - XEUKD1
MULTI - CSC - CPWKD1
MULTI - CSC - ITVKE5
4. How do I find out what the difference is and what those letters/digits at the end mean to determine which CSC version suits me best?
I would appreciate the answer to all 3 questions above and a recommendation on 4 to determine which one suits best my phone. I am based in the UK and am on O2 if CSC has something to do with the region and cellular network.
Thanks
Stas
CSC = country specific code ties phone to network and country .
There is no detailed explanation CSC contains a number of files as above text/XML
Versions listed on www.samfirmware.com might also be listed here with a search .
XEUKD1 = Europe
CPWKD1 = Carphone warehouse
ITVKE5 = Italy
. How do I find out what the difference is and what those letters/digits at the end mean to determine which CSC version suits me best?
samfirmware have the list
O2 you use the O2 CSC thaqt came with the phone or XEU .

thanks mate. Another quick question... Do you know how to check the existing CSC version? *#1234# works well for me on KDD while it does not work on my friend's device. He's on KE1.
noobie alarm ,
what is the multi csc for ? when i change mine to another csc via *#272#....... Kies tells me that my firmware version can't be updated, why is that?
i would be grateful for ur answer ;-)
Hi,
I live in belgium but i have bought a galaxy S2 from a store with a CSC code that is not for my country ,
Its the code LUX, and i am in belgium, the codes for belgium are : BAE,BSE,PRO,XEB
is this normal and what kind of problems can occur?
Thanx
You can check/change the CSC with: *#272*{IMEI}#
where the {IMEI} value represents the 15 digits of your IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity).
Personally, I use KOR and my phone works perfect.
change csc dont work
Hey,
I used the code yesterday, and says only LUX.
Flash a CSC if you have to from.

I just wanna now what problems i can have with this wrong csc code,
Yes i know i can flash it. But if i buy somthing from a store in my country.
It needs to be with the correct code otherwise the store needs to give me a correct phone.
So the first problem i think i have i need to wait to luxembourg for the update, not the belgium update?
Any other problems that can occur?

From few to none .

You will have to take it up with the seller but one presumes they would sell the correct model .

CSC will have nothing to do with update that comes from the product code .
CSC contains a number of text files that have the varying network details and configurations .CSC is not required for phone to work if network details are entered manually .

My S2 came from 'expansys online' and had the information below and no update in KIES.
PDA: XWKI4
Modem: XXKI1
CSC: OXAKI2 (SEB)
I changed the sales code to NEE by '*#272*IMEI#' and then KIES asked me to update to the following version.
PDA: XWKI8
Modem: XXKI4
CSC: OXAKI2(NEE)
Then I flashed stock firmware from Intratech's thred. But KIES said my phone cannot be updated by it. I check the information by '*#272*IMEI#' and there is just one work 'NEE' after 'sales code' and NOTHING SHOWN BELOW(before there were a list i can select). I thought I should have one 'XEN' to select at least but nothing.
The flashing should be successful because there were some apps with Dutch language.
PDA: XWKJ3
Modem: XXKI4
CSC: XENKJ1
At latst yesterday I flashed KK5 combination from Intratech's thred and succeed (with special apps like bbc i-player) but problem is still there. I cannot see any CSC to select by '*#272*IMEI#'.
KIES says the firmware 'I9100XWKK5/I9100XEUKH2/I9100XXKI3/I9100XWKK5' cannot be updated by it.
So anybody know how to solve it or who know which combination can be updated by KIES?
Anyone can give a help?
I dont really understand what you are trying to achieve .
Kies looks at Product Code and a few other codes .These are then matched against firmware on the Kies server . No match = no download .
Why vendor not updated
product Codes do not match any firmware .
Kies may not be able to match up the current codes on your phone .
You have a phone you changed its sales code
you updated then you flashed stock firmware then you flashed stock firmware again .
You want latest firmware then flash stock rom and flash relevant CSC to your location .

My question is why there is no CSC which I can select after I call '*#272*IMEI#'. There is just one word 'NEE'. No CSC list.
I flash XEU so I think at least there should be XEU CSC and the word should be changed from NEE to XEU. But the fact is not so.
And how to change product code?
You flashed the Frankenstein version of KK5 which is a combination that Intratech put together, and he placed it in the FRANKENSTEIN section, Kies will not recognize it, in order to flash with Kies, stay with stock roms/combinations.
The biggest question is why do you want to flash with Kies and with ODIN, pick one and stick with it, flash the CSC separately if you do not see it, or download CSC select from the market.

what I most warry about is why there is no XEU displayed. After calling *#272*IMEI# just 'Sales Code : NEE' is displayed (sorry no image). Anyone whose phone just has non-multi CSC can show me your infromation after calling.

Flash the CSC separately, then use the market app to select it, will reset your device though...
Samsung Firmwares comes out for different regions, and each region has a set of CSC (Customer Customization Code), which contains additional settings for tuning phone features and additional settings like keyboard localisations, internet settings.
Many ROMs come out with the default set of CSC codes that were present in the base, some add extra collection (Wanam, a set of 130+ CSC codes for countries all over the world).
When the ROM is first installed, it will be using a default CSC set (defined by the base or the ROM dev), and this can be changed with CSC Selector, but executing this will reset the ROM to factory settings, losing all user settings.
TL;DR
My question is, do you care about CSC? do you ever change the default?

My ROM (in my signature), since version B3 come with a base CSC set that was in the Base Samsung ROM XXELLC, 6 CSC for some European countries, But I want to remove that too leaving just 1 single country neutral CSC.
nop, i am using default csc
csc is the last thing that i wanna change after i flashed a rom
Never ever use a CSC its deleted from the firmware always .
Or i would change the base CSC in the rom if so required .

Answer in the Guides .
Basically its network settings .

I have a single SIM 965F varient.
As per phone software info is OXM_OPS which is OPS single CSC firmware. ..Which is correct as I got my phone from my telecom operator. However Phone Info shows my original CSC as XEU and active CSC as OPS and shows XEU as multi CSC firmware.
Why two different results on my phone ?
