How to change CSC(Country Code) in Samsung galaxy S3 ? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today I have updated my device Galaxy S3 to Jelly Bean but right after update I can not change the CSC code. I tried the combination of *#272imei#* but it is not working. Searched all thread of XDA and found many solved it by giving Jelly bean ROM twice. But I have updated my device through wifi (OTA update) and now I can not go to csc changer. Tried many google play soft like Samsung Galaxy S / S2 / S3 CSC, SGS toolbox(need root), SGS CSC Selector but none is working, very strange !! Hence I never rooted my device.
Any help to reset CSC code pls. What is the secret code in jelly bean to go to that menu .....

Factory reset and try application again.

factory reset or 2nd flash (solved it for me) will get you back a CSC as far as you got now unknown. After that use the CSC changer app (Samsung Galaxy S / S2) from the market to change your CSC. Be careful as it will format your phone & sd card.

You can use a XEU Firmware or the O2 UK Firmware, check the Firmware-Thread here in the Forum =>
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
I also have the same problem. I have bought my phone in Switzerland and live in France. I bought my phone on my own (it is not included in any contracts). Can I just take XWKJ2 Firmware from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
and tick PDA, Phone and CSC in Odin to reset my phone and have it working with Kies?
Easiest way is use an app called "checkfus" from the market. It's free.
Basically checkfus can search the same servers as kies does and find the latest firmware available from your carrier.
Then go to intratechs official carrier firmware thread and download the version that checkfus told you was the latest for your carrier.
Flash this via Odin following intratechs instructions.
Use a USB jig to get rid of any flash counter. Sets it to official firmware with 0 flash counter.
If you want at this stage you can do a wipe if you don't want any data on your phone.
At this point your phone will be as if you just unboxed it. kies should work and everything.
Hope this helps.

I have download and installed checkfus and it is very easy to use

I have the same question for my I9300 / Galaxy S3.
I'd like to thank all the people that posted an answer, but point out there is no answer.
I want to know if there is any way for me to find out what my original firmware was. And is there a way for a service center to check if the firmware matches the imei or serial number?
As long as its official Samsung firmware(and probably for your region) what do they care.

Kies has this option build-in. Just select initialize device from menu or something like that, than enter you phone serial number and model name and voila.
It will tell you what original factory firmware was preinstalled and even flash it if you like.

I know my phone is from poland. polish was the default language for my fone. Later my phone got bricked, So I had to flash it. Wen i searched it in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 I saw quite a few firmwares from poland. Tried XXLPQ and XXKI4. But the default language came as English UK . I think I flashed it with wrong firmware. I am confused with which CSC should be used. OXA or XEO .
Is there any chance to find the stock firmware with IMEI and S/N
S/N : RDZB913735Z
can you kindly check for me, wats the official firmware for my phone.
Thanks and Regards.
Allrigt I will check this but don't publish your IMEI here. PM me.
Poland have XEO code. But if phone was branded than it can be operator's code (IDE - Orange, TLP - T-mobile...)

Thanks man,
Now i am sure its XEO , its unbranded, international version, bought from amazon.com
I'm sorry but Kies can not initialize this phone. This could mean that your phone was not branded and you can flash any official XEO firmware if you want to repair it in Sammys Service Center.
You can flash 4.0.4 immidiatelly with Odin or, if you feel that you absolutly must use Kies to upgrade (don't know why) than flash official 4.0.3 (XXLWP) it is stock for XEO region and after that change your CSC by dialing service code *#272*IMEI# (IMEI - your IMEI number). From pop-up menu choose XEO. Phone will be wiped and new CSC will be set. You can check this in 3e recovery (yellow information text at the bottom) or in Kies - there should be (XEO) at the end of the line with current version information. Than you can upgrade to 4.0.4 via Kies or FOTA.

[Q] How to change CSC to STH??

I'm NEW here please help!!!
I had flash a few official ROM like UtimaRom ,Turkbey and Criskelo with the multi CSC selection option
But after selected the correct CSC "STH" it will make a factory data reset when i dial *#1234# it will still show the default CSC I9300OXFDLI1
Firstly you should search first before posting as it says in the Forum rules.
And secondly download this on your device and change your CSC through this. And yes it will do a factory reset on your device each and every time your change your CSC

As per thousands of identical posts updates are nothing to do with XDA ask Samsung or your phone supplier .

You're from United Arabs Emirates. Download this samsung stock jelly bean rom and also odin and flash it in download mode. After that do all wipes from recovery and install csc select in your phone from Google Play and just check you're in AFR.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=7532
Instructions For Flashing Firmware:
Extract the firmware
Open Odin
Turn off your device
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)
In ODIN Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
Then finally click START!
Instructions For Changing CSC:
Download Samsung Galaxy S / S2 CSC app from the Play Store
Open Samsung Galaxy S / S2 CSC app
Tap "Change CSC" button
Select the CSC for you Country
Tap "Install" button (Keep in mind changing CSC wipes your device)
Thank you huskysdg. Why do i need to change CSC? is this ROM arabic enabled? and is it confirmed that the update wont happen through Kies since I have many data that cant be baked up?
This rom is the csc AFR, in Samsung codes means that's for arabics. This rom is official and stock, you shouldn't have any problem.
You need to back up your data with kies or with titanium backup always before flashing new roms just in case. For titanium backup you need to be rooted, look for cf-root v.6.4 for sgs3 here at xda. After rooting just buy and use triangle away from CF to keep your recovery binary counter to 0 and not loosing your samsung warranty.
If the csc enabled corresponds to the same region of the rom you've flashed in your device then kies will recognized your rom as offcial and will offer you the update option through OTA or through kies itself. That's the reason to check with app csc select if you're in the right csc choice. The app offers you to change csc but if you change csc there's always an automatic wipe from android itself.
Dude, if you don't feel capable of flashing the new rom look for more info at the sgs3 threads here in xda and how to do everything is explained several times by different people. I don't have more time for this.

[Q] Changing CSC ?

Hi guys.
I flashed a new ROM on my SIII, the stock Vodafone PT rom.
But in a certain moment, I have to change the CSC, and for that I need the app CSC Changer.
I installed CSC Changer, but in the app, it appears many CSC's, but not the one I want (TCL).
How can I sucessfully change my CSC to TCL?
It's the ROM's fault?
Sorry for my bad english.
Cheers

*#272*IMEI# (eg. *#272*16546845451#)
to see your IMEI see your settings or dial *#06#
NOTE: Changing your CSC will factory reset your device.
App from market doesn't include any CSC code. It's simply using Stock CSC changer called Preconfig.apk and your ROM must be MultiCSC in order to change it.
We have new ***Sticky - CSC Collection*** Check it out
Hi.
Using the *# code shows exactly the same CSC's.
I don't have my phone rooted, how can I do ?
Cheers.

To be clear, you want to change your CSC to TCL but you don't want to root your phone and your CSC is not included in ROM you're using at the moment? Correct? If so, you need to get yourself right ROM from www.samsung-updates.com or www.sammobile.com and flash it with Odin. Later on, you'll get OTA or Kies updates but only if there are any.
Yes, that's correct.
But I already downloaded two VodafonePT (TCL) roms, and there are no signs of TCL CSC..
Cheers.
Mate, I don't know what you want.. If you Must have CSC-TCL, then use Odin and install one of those Vodafone ROMs, that's it.
No other way to change CSC for you.
Installing right now,
Will update soon.
Hi everyone... I got a similiar problem with CSC and maybe someone can help me.
My original S3 is using I9300XXELLA_I9300VFGELL3_OMN fw... earlier i flashed it (after a hard reset) with the english fw, I9300XXEMB5_I9300OXAEMB5_BTU. Now kies says I have a KOR csc (shouldn't it be BTU?) and that i won't be able to upgrade the fw in the future.
But this isn't the problem, I can always update with Odin. Problem is that if i ever have to use warranty, i'll have to flash back the original firmware... and when i'll do so, will i get back the OMN csc or i'll still have it set to KOR?
Thanks in advance for your help.
All working.
Thanks :=)
can't change CSC
Hi guys,
I need some help here.
I'm trying to change my CSC to the correct one, because apparently my phone is not recognizing my zone (my clock is displaying the wrong time... is that a problem from CSC?).
I do the *#272*IMEI and nothing happens.. ideas?
cheers

Im in Albania whith Vodafone Carrier. My Phone Box say its from Serbia to be sell in Austria, its Sim Free. But when i open original Browser there are Serbian or Croatian Bookmarks( maybe this help . So i dot know what CSC my phone originally had. Thanx
When you checked to see if the csc had changed, did you go via the dialler(*#1234#) or did you check via the csc changer app?
There has been problems where the dual dialler method doesn't report properly
I try whith CSC changer. But anyway i didnt have network , so i now that doesnt work.
One thing, FACTORY RESET from phone settings! Full wipe from recovery doesn't work properly. TESTED!
Use a update.zip from here and it'll work. Guaranteed!
Thnx i will try.
But which CSC is for me?
CSC_ALB including Vodafone Albania..
It should change your CSC without F.Reset though
