Basics
CSC links for some are posted otherwise rip it out of a relevant stock rom .
Or try sammobile.com for separate CSC file .

I also had an unknown CSC when I flash my s3 to different region jellybean. What others told me was that I had a bad flashed and to fix unknown CSC, just reflash the official firmware again via Odin. It worked for me. No more unknown CSC. HTH

I was going to tag this on to the debranding how-to thread but the forum won't let me post there..
..after downloading the stock samsung KE7 firmware I entered the code to bring up the CSC menu.
It says O2U in the white box at the top of the screen but below is a single blank option - it doesn't say XEU anywhere.
What difference does it make? Is it just that I won't be able to update in future using KIES?
CSC nothing to do with updates via Kies .
Kies will update the O2 firmware but may not update flashed firmware as the codes may not match on the server .
See the CSC thread if you want to flash an XEU CSC but that may wipe your phone . If the phone works dont bother as CSC is not relevant .

Thanks for the reply
Yes the phone works. Except that when Kies connects it does not tell me the current firmware or whether it is the latest or not.
I have downloaded what I believe to be samsung stock firmware so I would have though Kies wouldn't have a problem recognizing it.
In nearly two years i have never got Kies to update stock firmware .
Original firmware yes stock never though some claim it does .
LuffarJoh would not need all that hard work if it was true .

Thanks for the links... interesting reading..
I've just run check fus downloader and it's found the firmware from O2 is KE2.. correct.. so if I download that firmware file I can flash my phone back to stock using odin?
And conversely if I ask it to find the latest firmware for the stock european region I can flash that to my phone too (it is KE7 so I think that is what I have done already)

Yes but O2 firmware download is posted in the branded roms post in dev section .

Yes probably
Most networks have upgraded no further than KE2 probably waiting for 2.3.4 release .

Well, after flashing some roms, I got this message right now (*#1234#)
AP: I9300UBALE6

This ROM is at my SG3: Samsumg Stock: I9300UBALE6 / CSC I9300ZTOALE7
And the original one was CSC I9300ZTAALE6.
Can you help me?

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

[Stock Official Firmwares] I9300XXBLG8 (4.0.4) - United Kingdom (BTU) [27-07-12]
Ps. It shows uk as that is latest, but all firmware listed, then you just update with Odin whenever you want
When i go to kies and try to update my i9300, they say my device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies. It is PDA:MF6 / Phone:MB1 / CSC:MF3 (KOR). I flashed my own country's firmware (singapore starhub) downloaded from sammobile but the firmware still stays the same. I tried OTA also but it says my software is modified. How do i change this firmware to my own country's one?
Have you rooted or modded your phone in any way? Modified status means it isn't as it left the factory. If you have then OTA won't work and probably kies (although I can't say for certain as I always use odin).
Go read the stickies in the general forum, before you do anything else, as you seem unaware of some crucial facts.
My phone is rooted. But it used to work on kies . Is it maybe because my firmware is KOR which I think stands for Korea but I'm not from there? That's why it doesn't work?
The update will be for KOR not where you are .
You do not have your original firmware product codes csc etc do not match .
Suggest you update by using sammobile.com stock firmware flashed via odin.
