Just randomly checked my new phone I have just upgraded to from a third party supplier on Three (Phone totally unlocked).
Edit: After adjusting my eyes I have amended the above.
So what is it? Does this mean when XEU uk unbranded rom arrives on Kies I won't be able to upgrade?

You have the same setup as me. are you still on 2.3.4? notice everywhere else in uk appears to be on 2.3.5 these days.
notice everywhere else in uk appears to be on 2.3.5 these days.
Nope not true updates have to be fetched so the majority will be on original firmware .
Only a tiny minority are XDA minded with a few more savy enough to update .
jje
Ill clarify in that most have 2.3.5 available . This product code appears to be stuck on 2.3.4 when normally unbranded are released first i believe .
Yep,
Here in the UK on XEU, the SGS2 is still on 2.3.4
.... There isn't even an XEU leak for a newer firmware for this region.
Even the galaxy s1 has XEU leaks for 2.3.6 I think.
Soooo much for their top high end phone getting updates first.

Hi,
Kies announced me today (08.01.2012) that it has downloaded a new firmware for my I9100. I'm on Vodafone Romania.
But because I have a custom ROM on my phone, I'm wasn't able to see what version it's about.
Did anyone from Romania received the same announce?
What version it is? Could it be ICS 4?
Regards,
Stefan
Unfortunately I am on Orange but most likely is 2.3.6 or .5. If it was ICS, it would have already been leaked on the Internet.
latest for vodafone romania is KJ3 which is 2.3.5 .. checkfus downloader says it all
Thank you guys.
I just thought that it could be ICS.
Regards,
Stefan

I've checked and you're right:

Latest firmware: I9100BUKJ3/I9100CNXKI2/I9100BUKI1/I9100BUKJ3
File name: GT-I9100_CNX_1_20111024142942.zip.enc2
Version: Android 2.3.5
But what's very strange is why Kies informed me now about this new firmware, considering that I have it installed on my laptop since I bought my phone (in may 2011)... Before this announce I didn't connect my phone to the laptop through KIES. And more, having a custom rom on my phone KIES cannot search for updates.
Isn't this strange?
Regards,
Stefan

Hi,
I have an Orange branded SGS2 running the stock Andriod and Kies doesn't let me upgrade to ICS. Message "Your device does not support upgrading via kies", but as I understand it, this is because it has a different Phone firmware. I have been trying to look for the right one, but the links are dead in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 .
When I type *#1234#, it gives me:
PDA: I9100BVKH2
Phone: I9100XXLPQ
CSC: I9100ORAKH2
Now I'm guessing only the Phone firmware is wrong, as my sister has the same phone, also Orange, and her's gives the following info:
PDA: I9100BVKH2
Phone: I9100BVKH1
CSC: I9100ORAKH2
So my question(s), is this the problem? And if it is, anyway I can only update the "Phone" firmware, without having to reinstall everything, if so, anyone got a link to the BVKH1 phone firmware? If no one does, anyway of extracting this from my sister's phone?
And if it's not the problem, how can I solve Kies not wanting to upgrade it?
Thanks!

Why don't you get I9100BVKJ4 (with CSC I9100ORAKJ4) from samfirmware.com then? This is UK Orange, and is a higher version than BVKH1.
Or, download I9100BVLPB (with CSC I9100ORALPB, which is also UK Orange) which is 4.0.3, and the one you would likely get through Kies anyways?

I actually didn't know this was possible, thought I'd only be able to using the firmware I had when I received it.. And I'm guessing I'll have to backup my apps using titanium backup as this removes everything right?

Shouldn't remove ANYthing, actually. (aside from root if you have it) These are all non-wipe packages.
It's usually recommended to do a wipe before an install, but you don't have to.
But backing up before flashing is always a good idea.

Thanks very much! Worked like a charm!
I've just flashed the stock Nordic ICS ROM, I had the one for UK&Ireland before and since then I've not been able to use any other language on keyboard than the English one. I've choosed more than 2 different languages and noone of them has been able to work. Swiping the gap button changes the name of the language but the font remains the same.
I flashed again Nordic via Odin, I also flashed UK ROM (XEU) again, I reseted the phone through settings, recovery and password, nothing changed at all. More, I reseted the data of the keybord apk, the problem still here.
It's insane, I need your immediate help, this problem came out of nothing, I've followed the right procedure of flshing with the ROMs of sammobile, before flashind everything was alright, now it's not.
Please let me know if you have any solution to this or any knowledge of the fact.
Thanks

Use this App to change the CSC code to your Country
The process will factory reset your phone, so make sure you backup whatever you think is important to you.
Good luck

In these two minutes I've found out what the CSC is and with a password I accesed directly this menu. It's empty. Up above, it's written XEU and below that there is a blank option. So when I choose that, a message pops up "needs THREE characters".
Which are the options now ?

Sorry for the blurry photo, a quick one.
As you can see, none. As I described before.
I can't even get what happened and lost that CSC, the first flash one month ago was absolutely OK, now the same ROM, as well as the Nordic one, has this issue.
Now ?

Agree, that's strange. I can select it, tap INSTALL and the message "Needs THREE chars" pops up.
I'm gonna flash the Nordic ROM again and check these CSC options, if there's any difference.
I realised that some ROM rars contain only the .tar file, others also contain two more .md5 files, one of them is used into the Odin at the section CSC for flashing. But I can't do anything more with that I guess.

One .tar file combines the 3 .tar files together, so that shouldn't be the problem.
You can download the firmware for your country here: Sammobile

I know, I've already done it. I'm from Greece but I don't want to use the Greek ROm since it's stuck on 4.0.3, that's why I downloaded the Nordic one.
Last effort now, fingers crossed.
Thanks, thanks and thanks.

Downloaded, flashed again. All that after I had wiped cache and dalvik cache and reseted the phone. Nothing. Still no CSC option, no other language in use. One thing I've noticed in Odin, once it concluded the installation, the message into the green area showed 3:5. Does this mean that the installation ws not full eventully ? Also, I open the .tar file and I can't see any CSC .bin file.

If you want to change your keyboard language, you can download better keyboard alternatives in market.
But if you want back csc code, i think you will need to flash an extracted csc.tar package or another firmware via Odin

Have you found a solution? I have the same problem. CSC = unknown.
If i wouldn't have read your post i would have never found out about this...
Hello,
A family member went to Dubai and bought back a Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300). They've said it is an International model (Korean). I'm from New Zealand.
What I would like to do is install the official NZ android firmware on the device. Is this possible? Does it require me to root the device? Do I need to first change the CSC?
If I need to change the CSC, could someone please point me in the right direction?
Thank you
You don't need to root or change csc.
Go to www.sammobile.com and download official Vodafone NZ firmware.
Flash this via Odin.

Feel free to PM if you need a hand or advice flashing firmware.
Awesome, thanks so much! Will PM if I need your help.
Are you sure its not a M440S? The international korean is identical to the i9300 in terms of hardware but has a different bootloader and requires a slightly different kernel.
Hi xSpeced,
How would I find out if it is a M440S?
I downloaded the VNZ (I9300XXEMA1) version from: http://samsung-updates.com/region/?region=VNZ - however Samsung Kies tells me:
"Your device's current firmware is not supported to update firmware via Kies."
"Current firmware version: PDA:MA1 / PHONE:LLA / CSC: LL1 (XSG)"
The XSG is United Arab Emirates region. Shouldn't this be changed to VNZ?

boot into recovery mate and it'll flash the VNZ CSC.
To check model number go to settings/about device and check the model number: International S3 is GT-i9300
Thanks. I have already gone into Recovery, done the Cache wipe and Reset. I then went into Download mode and used Odin to flash the downloaded file.
Settings says the device is GT-I9300.
Do I need to do another Cache wipe and Reset?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: My phone says
AP: I9300XXEMA1
CP: I9300XXELLA
CSC: I9300VNZELL1
So, the CSC has changed. Just Kies says (XSG)?

What you have done is fine.
Generally after flashing different firmware through Odin your CSC code doesn't change until you next boot into recovery then it automatically flashes new CSC.
If your phone says VNZELL1 then you're sweet mate. Have you checked in Kies again, maybe your CSC hadn't changed when you checked?
Either way it sounds like you've now got it sorted.
Kies is a pretty crappy piece of software I would uninstall it personally. You have all the drivers needed and Odin so Kies is pretty much irrelevant now. As soon as new firmware is available you can just flash with Odin.
I flash the latest firmware with the highest changelog regardless of country, right now I'm running Hong Kong firmware.
Enjoy your new phone!
Awesome, thank you so much for your help and information. I'm an Android freak but I get scared when it comes to flashing and rooting. Learning as I go.
Left my phone at home as had to pop out. So will pop into recovery mode and try again.
What do you use to back your phone up without Kies?
