I all,
I am having problems with the CSC on my wife's SGS3. She was sent a German version S3 (twice) as a replacement for a damaged phone from her insurance company.
This has a CSC code of DBT
As the CSC list (using *#272*imei#) only contained DBT, I flashed the phone using odin with official LLA-JellyBean (CSC-Code BTU) so I could put it as a UK handset.
Now when I plug it into kies i get this:
YOUR DEVICE'S CURRENT FIRMWARE VERSION IS NOT SUPPORTED TO UPDATE FIRMWARE VIA KIES
CURRENT FIRMWARE VERSION: PDA:LLA / PHONE:LLA / CSC:LLA (DBT)
(Cant remember off hand what it was but it wasn't LLA prior to the flash)
I have tried all i can think of to correct this.
When i run the *#272 thing it comes up:
USSD CODE RUNNING
then:
UNKNOWN APPLICATION
I have tried the Samsung Galaxy S / S2 /S3 CSC app from play store, again I get message when I run it:
UNKNOWN APPLICATION
I have gone into recovery mode and get the following (in yellow beside the droid icon):
#MANUAL MODE#
--APPLYING MULTI CSC
APPLIED THE CSC-CODE: DBT
SUCCESSFULLY APPLIED MULTI-CSC
I have also tried WIPING DATA CACHE and FACTORY RESET from recovery mode
None of this has made any difference, (all done in the order as I have listed it above) please could somebody point me in the right direction before I pull out what remaining hair I have left.
Download the latest stock full rom for UK and Europe XXEMB5 from one of the below and flash via odin. then carry out a factory reset.

I have tried this but the flash failed. I have also tried to re-flash the LLA version I had put on previously
Odin says the COM Port cannot be opened

Re-install Kies and USB drivers first.

Thank you djembey. Rather than uninstall kies and risk losing backups (couldnt be bothered to find files and move them) including for my own S3, I ran the flash from my wife's laptop. I plugged phone in first so drivers installed then phone flashed successfully.
However the CSC has remained DBT even though I flashed the BTU version

I think there is somewhere a thread with flashable csc packages or you could try the csc changer app (will format your phone though).
This might help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080181

Hello,
I just flashed with odin the new ICS firmware out on sammobile for sgs2 (I9100XXLP6 ##) which came with a file for PDA, for CSC and for Phone, but now that I am trying to flash again any 2.3.6. firmware I keep getting errors already at the start when associating my google account and stuff...
I assume that is because of the additional CSC and PHONE file that was included in I9100XXLP6 ## but I don´t know where to find the refering files for 2.3.6. firmwares since these only come with 1 file (for PDA)...
I would be glad for any help I can get
Hi,
Could you give more information about the errors? At what point do they occur? What errors do you get?
The csc files can be found somewhere on xda, use the search function. The file you need for the phone is called a modem, can also be found on xda.
Although I do not expect that this causes the errors, how did you restore? Did you while your phone and cache first?

What 2.3.6 rom are u trying to flash on?
If the DL was dodgy it would cause problems, redownload and reflash
PIT: if included, also optional
PDA:Code
Phone:modem
CSC:multi csc
Did you do a full wipe?

Make sure you are back on the GB boot loaders and that you have done a full wipe.

greetings hello I commented that the same thing happened to me the only thing I do is flash with this version XWKK5
follow these steps:
1.Install again (XXLP6) completely.
2.turn off the phone and enter download mode and install the (XWKK5).
3. Once you install the XWKK5 completely. turn off the phone and go into recovery mode and perform the wipes
I hope to help and luck.
I hope you understand me and sorry but my English is a bit bad jejjee
I flashed this update, throuch odin, and now the phone will only boot into download mode or the screen that says to use kies recovery. The problem is, even though I can boot into download mode, the computer no longer recognizes my phone. No sounds when I plug it in or anything. If I plug a jig in, it will come on so it's not the port. Can someone help me?

You need a three part firmware, with modem, csc and pda, flash with pit and repartition, to do a full wipe. I think you used a non wipe firmware, that's the reason for the bugs.
Question
When you flashed the LP6, did you flash it with the .pit file too? I suggest you flash back to your stock ROM but you also have to flash a .pit file as well. This happened to me too when I flashed the KP8 ROM. I reflashed my stock ROM but it kept giving me errors at the initial boot. So I flashed my stock ROM again this time with the same .pit file. If I'm not mistaken it's this: u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit

Did you get the 2.3.6 firmware? If not look at this thread from Infratech: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278. Have a good look at the section marked "Individual CSC Packages". Maybe this could help if you suspect a wrong CSC being the cause of your problem.
Hello,
I put the stock firmware of my S3 for the waranty but now I have an "CSC : unknown"
I have tried many firmware but can not restore the situation !!
Do you have an idea?
Thank you in advance
go to the phone dialer and input : *#272*(IMEI)#
Then choose your default CSC.
The phone will reboot and reformat your phone, so make sure all data has been backed up.
Thanks for your reply..but i have only one CSC "AUT"
I try another stock firmware !

I tried this when I used the suggested firmware downloaded from Fuscheck (BTU) I'm on O2.
When I typed it in on the keypad I got BTU displayed, clicked it and install, then I got an error saying something like 'must be at least THREE'
It won't install I managed to resolve the situation by downloading and flashing a firmware from Sam-Mobile, but I don't understand my issue, every time I want to upgrade my firmware I have to completely wipe the phone,. (OK I have titanium backup) but that's not the point. Surely there is a way of ODIN flashing a new firmware then re-rooting, without factory reset every time.
Is Fuscheck the best place to get the firmware upgrade?
Any suggestions/ ideas on my situation would be grateful, I can't really be spending half a day trying to unbrick the phone every time there's a update

You can download roms from www.sammobile.com/firmware. Thats where I get them from. Install with Odin v3 3.0.4.
If you are rooted you can flash firmware with Mobile Odin Pro and keep root.

Thanks for that. Helpful post.
I normally use Odin on my PC, and just flash through PDA.
I am rooted so is it just a case of flashing firmware from Sammobile then rooting the phone again (I use CF Root)
I got a Galaxy S3 around a week back. The CSC was set to COA and it was running the old firmware. KIES used to show the current and latest firmware.
I have updated to the XXALF2 using ODIN and also set the CSC to BTU. However KIES does not show the lastest firmware anymore. Just the current firmware. Does that mean, KIES wont be able to update my phone?
i have done exactly the same & getting the same result in kies, i think you have to be on unmodified rom without flash count triggered? i could be wrong though
Right after the flash. My CSC was set to KOR. However I changed it to BTU using *#1234*IMEI*. I was getting the message that KIES cannot update the firmware when it was on KOR. That message seems to have gone.
This problem is quite confusing.
i flashed mine with stock LF2 BTU but kies states "your device does not support upgrading via kies"
and my CSC shows "CSC:LF2 (H3G)" is this normal?
Hmm. I had that message on KIES when my CSC changed to KOR. After changing it to BTU, that message was gone.
Initially - XXALE8 -COA (KIES showed the version the phone and the latest version).
After flashing - XXALF2 -KOR (KIES states that it wont be able to update firmware).
Now - XXALF2 - BTU (KIES does not show the latest firmware. Just the one on the phone).
I got this problem too i think it`s bcuz i rooted my phone..i have stock firmware btw
I have seen that on a few forums that rooting might trigger that. However I am on the stock firmware only. I haven't rooted my phone.
sry for double post but i fixed my problem
the only thing i had to do was to reset the counter with triangle away
Where is this triangle located?
anyone with rooting experience explain what the problem is or is this normal after rooting?
should i have only flashed PDA & not PHONE & CSC or is that not possible?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
here u can find triangle away all u have to do is install the app and then press reset counter after u open the app
then it will reboot and then u have to press the volume up button to reset the counter
sry for my english
Do I need to root my phone. If so, how and how can I unroot it after using the application?
if ur not rooted u dont need to run triangle away bcuz ur counter is set to 0 by default
there must be another solution for you...just wait to somebody else answer..
i thought even flashing stock with odin without root still bumps up the flash counter?
So I have managed to fix the problem. Here's my solution.
1) Root the phone.
2) Run the triangle away application to reset the counter.
3) After that's done, wipe the data on the phone (volume up+home+power button) and select the options:
a) wipe data/factory reset
b)wipe cache partition
c) advanced - wipe dalvik cache
4) Remove battery.
5) Put the battery back in and hold (volume down+home+power button).
6)Start ODIN and restore to the firmware that was ON THE PHONE.
7)Reset the phone to default after thats done.
I did that and now KIES is back to normal for me. And now it show XXALF2 (BTU).
How do you fix it & keep root?

Just complete step 1 & 2. I wanted to get rid of the root as well, so I performed the other steps.

Ive rooted using cfroot and kies is still recognising my phone for updates
Although i have not done anything but root
Kies upgrade depends onan actual upgrade for the firmware being on the server .Also the phone codes you present it matching firmware on the server.Root may or may not alter such codes.
Solution ignore Kies join XDA and learn how to flash or download stock firmware .

Sorry guys, changed CSC to BTU using *#272*IMEI# all good now, kies shows my firmware & latest available also shows my device status as "Normal" NOT "Modified"!:laugh:
Hi all,
Need to return my s3 to stock, I've removed custom binary and flash count and flashed back to LE8 stock software, but messages app don't work and won't update through kies, I understand this may have something to do with the csc so I flashed a different one - got messages app working but still won't update so something must be wrong. It's on csc btu
Please help as I need to use the warranty, it's a uk phone purchased from carphonewarehouse unlocked and simfree
Check the phone bootloader update option in odin when you flash your stock firmware.

Try repeating these steps in order..
1. Use Triangle away and reset your counter
2. Download the latest BTU firmware which I think is LG8
3. Flash via Odin
4. Dial *#1234# and check whether all the 3 AP, CP and CSC are the same
5. otherwise change it to BTU
6. Then connect to kies and check whether it detects your phone correctly

I have done this by mistake in the past using odin but I can't understand why it didn't work.
I have now a phone from Australia apparently and kies is not very helpful. I already have the BTU ELLA update but I'm not sure if it would work flashing that with odin. In the past it didn't work and I had to reflash the correct update.
Am I supposed to flash more than just the PDA?

No, just place the correct rom in PDA and flash it. The phone however has a specific sales code and if the installed firmware differs from the device`s country code Kies will not support updates. Only if you have the correct regional rom for your S3.
Thanks.
In the past I had used a BTU Tom instead of the vodafone specific on a i9300 and it had lost the notification bar and touzhwiz crashed.
Once I installed the vodafone specific rom it went back to normal.
I have now come across the ELLA update on a Australian import s3 and just flashed it with kies. Trouble I have with that now is that the bottom shortcuts somehow are stuck and wont be replaced. I will try and reflash the rom tomorrow with odin and if it doesn't work I'd like to try the international version of 4.1.2.
Did you wipe your device after flashing the firmware?
Some carriers do only than little modifications to the device and may cause incompatibilites with the standard roms.
How do I do a complete wipe?

Go to settings, backup and restore and do a data facory reset.
Ah you mean a factory data reset.
When I do that the australian version adds 2 apps which are easily removed and I cannot see anything else there. I also have another issue.
Odin 3.04 does not see my phone. Only odin 1.85 can.
But even that version says that the md5 file I downloaded from sammobile is invalid.
I am going to try this with mobile odin
Right
Tried the btu version with mobile odin and again have the same issue. Notification panel is gone and the touchwiz doesn't work properly.

You have to reset after you flashed the rom. Did you reset the flash counter with Triangle Away?
Update
Retried the btu md5 but selected to wipe data and cache from mobile odin pro.
It seems to be working now
