Hi there! I need help please.
I got an S3 with a Vodafon-Italy firmware. Since I was experiencing a lot of freezing problems lately, I decided to flash the english firmware (I9300XXEMB5_I9300OXAEMB5_BTU) that everyone said fixed these problems. I followed the guide on here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969) and everything went fine. Problem is, when I connected the phone with kies, it said i still had OMN (vodafone) csc. So i decided to hard reset the phone and flash it again, and now kies says I have KOR csc. Why the flash wont give me a BTU csc, which is the one for the firmware I flashed?
What bothers me is that if I ever need to use warranty, I'll have to flash back the original firmware (Vodafone-Italy with OMN csc), but I guess that even if i flash that I guess I'll still get a KOR csc.
So my question is: what did i do wrong? Why do I get KOR? And how do i fix it?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me...
PS My cell isnt rooted, and I rather not root it, so using some tool to change the csc I guess won't work.
BTU firmwares have KOR as the default CSC.
Also, questions are better off in the dedicated questions section.

First of all thanks for your help... but are you really sure about this? I mean, kies says I won't be able to update my firmware... and I guess that happens because it shows as KOR... which would mean that every english user with a BTU firmware wouldn't be allowed to update with kies...it wouldnt make much sense tho... shouldnt they be marked as BTU? If what you say is true, tho, that means that If I flash back the original Vodafone-Italy fw i'll get back OMN... is that correct?

I'm sorry I posted here because it's the same forum where I read the flash guide... If any moderator wants to move this thread somewhere else, sorry for the trouble.
when a hard reset is done, the CSC resets to factory settings, in this case "KOR" (Korea).
Search on Sammobile for the Vodafone-Italy fw and flash via odin.

Thanks for your help.
I'm kinda new to this world so sorry in advance if I ask a stupid question.
If I understood correctly... the BTU firmware by default uses KOR csc, so when I did the hard reset with that fw installed, the csc was set to KOR.
Once I flash the Vodafone-Italy fw back, and I do a hard reset with that one installed, the csc will be set to the csc that that fw uses by default, which should be OMN (I9300XXELLA_I9300VFGELL3_OMN).
Is that correct? Thanks again!!
We all learn from each other
After flashing the fw you require, a reboot is enough
Make sure your phone is fully charged or at 80% of battery before flashing.

Mmmm why you say a reboot is enough? I mean... if my csc now is KOR and I flash the vodafone (csc OMN) firmware, after a reboot it'll still appear as KOR... correct? As you said, only with a hard reset the s3 will change csc to the default one used by the firmware.
Just asking to see if I understood how it works... thank you again.
Your csc changed to KOR because you did a hard reset. So installing the italian fw will replace KOR with the csc of italian fw.
You could not update via kies after installing the UK fw is becase your phones csc and the fw csc should match to update via kies.
I use kies only for backing up my phone and use odin to flash new updates.

The ROM you're using is MultiCSC and KOR is set as default. Use app from market called CSC changer and choose BTU from list. F.RESET and all done. Your new CSC will be BTU. If you want CSC-OMN then you need to get right ROM and flash it with Odin.

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

Hello.This forum si amazing help me a lot reading and solving my problems bu...
Story short flash 4.1.1 firmware from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 but because i`m living in UK i cant choose UK CSC code it`s just not there ( i try with *#272* ImeI# but is giving me error so i try with CSC changer from Play Store) so i decide to go back to 4.0.4 and then my problem starts.I try with Odin and 4.0.4 firmware the result was it`s freezes on samsung logo.
Then i used Kies to recover my firmware,Kies complete successfully but again freezes on Samsung Logo.I then try with Vodafone firmware (pay and go handset) same result.The only time when the phone boot properly is when i`m using 4.1.1 .If someone can help me how to go back to OTA 4.0.4 and bypass Samsung Logo.Thank You and my apologies for my bad english.Thank you again
After flashing to ICS, you need to boot into recovery and factory reset.

Thanks i did it and after i clean the cashe the phone boot up.Too bad there is no CSC for UK yet i really like 4.1.1 speed is amazing and there is no lag at all.
No need to change the csc. The csc is the one for that firmware, all you need to do is select your language during setup. Firmwares with different cscs are beginning to be rolled out as we speak.
I'm running polish stock rooted until UK 4.1.1 becomes available

Hello,
I'm asking this here because it looks like you guys might be able to help me understand how CSC work.
I'm trying to understand why I'm not getting the UK Jellybean update, bought my Galaxy s3 phone from Amazon it said UK unlocked.
Here's what my phone "About device" says
Model: GT-9300
Version:4.0.4
Baseband version:i9300XXLF2
Build number:IMM76D.I9300XXALF2
When I run *#1234#
it gives
AP: I9300XXALF2
CP:I9300XXLF2
CSC:I9300OJVALF2
Now from what I've read and looking here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
this would indicate a stock official firmware apart from the CSC
As I understand it the above CSC mean my phone is OJV, while to get the UK update I have to have CSC BTU.
I've tried the CSC selector software but BTU doesn't appear and the phone appears to be set on MWD (this is also what KIES shows)
Can anyone help me untangle and understand this.
Thanks.

Hi. Your phone has African firmware with a multi CSC. There is no Official release yet for Africa. Thats why you are not getting updates. You have 2 options.......1: To wait for the official update for your firmware 2: to download XXDLJ4 and flash it with odin. You will have exactly same result whichever option you choose.
Cheers
CSC problem
Hello.
I have a problem with changing the CSC of my phone. My phone is a branded i9300 with the stock CSC: ORO. I've flashed I9300XXDLJ4 and my CSC became unknown. Then i tried to flash only the BTU CSC but with the same result: CSC unknown. Also i downloaded the CSC select app but it gives me this error : "process com.android.phone has stopped". also i've wiped data and cache before and after flashing the rom. Do you guys have a solution for my problem or if a have a branded phone i cannot change my CSC?
When I enter in recovery mode it always says something like "Manual MODE. Applied Multi CSC. Applied CSC ORO".
Thanks

It happens when the cache.img (it has the CSC files) is not flashed properly when you are using Odin.... if the flashing process gets interrupted due to a reboot ..you will have to flash the firmware again after a full wipe..

Yes, thank you, I've now realised this. I bought the phone on Amazon where it was described as UK unlocked. Obviously this wasn't entirely accurate..
I'm new to this so I'm going to wait a little longer in case the official update is released shortly while I do some more reading.
If I wanted to go the second root, just out of interest, how did you know to suggest XXDLJ4 as the ROM I need to flash, there seem to be so many out there. Sorry if this is a total noob question.
Thanks.
Simple method is to use CHECKFUS to download any current firmware and flash via ODIN .

Hi all, I have a outright/carrier free S3 from Hungary, with everything untouched and stock firmware 4.0.4.
I am trying to work out how I can change the firmware to the latest UK update with Jelly Bean, and thereafter have the phone recognised in kies for future updates direct from Samsung, and also have the ability to do OTA updates.
Basically I just want to get Jelly Bean loaded on it and have it be like a phone that was bought in the UK, so that updates work OTA or via kies in the future and don't want the phone to be rooted either.
What would be the best and simplest way of achieving this?
I wasn't able to find anything on the forums to guide me on how to get this done the way I need it.
If its easier I could also load a UK 4.0.4 ROM on it and then OTA to Jelly Bean.
As I mentioned, I just want to change it to be like I bought it in the UK instead of having a region on it that takes months to update to a new firmware like Hungary.
Hoping someone knows exactly what to do, much appreciated.
Thank you

You can flash the latest JB with Odin, and use a CSC changer to change region codes. So long as the correct JB and CSC match, you can update it OTA or through Samsung Kies.
However be forewarned that changing your CSC will wipe your phone clean -- or so I've read. Haven't done it, personally.

One other thing I still need to know is, the phone currently hasn't got BTU CSC on it as an option, but a lot of other countries, if I flash the UK BTU JB, will that also renew the CSC options for later to change it to BTU or am I stuck with the CSC options that are on it now?
I'm assuming flashing the UK BTU JB ROM will update the AP and CP to match each other, then I just need to change the CSC?
Many thanks.

Nevermind, I flashed the 4.1.1 twice and the CSC showed up, the dialler code still doesn't work but the CSC app worked to change it, just had to add a APN to get data back and kies and OTA works fine now and has detected the phone as BTU for updating.
