[Q] Help needed flashing stock rom - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Model: Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300
I download the stock rom that is formy country, it says SEB, but when i flash it, the phone automatically somehowchances the CSC valueto a different location, and i cant get updates for my phone anymore. Today it switched to ALB and next reboot it was COA. How can i manually set it to my countrys CSC?
Hope the question is understandable.
Thanbks

i believe there is an App in the play store for that matter

hi dude,
you can try this (I did not tested)
Samsung Galaxy S / S2 / S3 CSC (required root)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector
read the WARNINGS!!! from developer ... "This will only work if your current rom is MultiCSC"
you can change CSC if your rom supports Multi CSC packages.
you can get your firmware info dialling *#1234# from your phones keypad
source: http://checkrom.com/threads/multi-csc-explained.979/
more infos:
CSC Codes - list of CSC codes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2090739
but, maybe will be more easy you flash a multi csc rom ...
search it from sammobile (stock rom - to your country / language) - needs register
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
or here in xda - I do recommend a custom rom rooted ... try It ... you will want more and more power ... LOL ...
[10/04] INDEX of ROMs [Android Development Forum] - read in changelogs if the rom support multi csc ... nice fun

[Q] CSC - What is CSC and which firmware suits my device?

Hi Guys
Apologies in advance if this is a duplication of the existing thread. I hope this information will be useful for newbies. Can somebody please explain in details:
1. What CSC is? What kind of information is stored in those files? Here I would appreciate an extended answer or a link to the detailed explanation.
2. How to find out the list of changes in a specific CSC version and difference with compared to previous version I have installed?
3. How to read CSC version and what those letter mean?
I will give you an example:
There are 3 different I9100XWKE7 stock firmwares on samsfirmware. All are called the same and the only difference is in CSC part:
MULTI - CSC - XEUKD1
MULTI - CSC - CPWKD1
MULTI - CSC - ITVKE5
4. How do I find out what the difference is and what those letters/digits at the end mean to determine which CSC version suits me best?
I would appreciate the answer to all 3 questions above and a recommendation on 4 to determine which one suits best my phone. I am based in the UK and am on O2 if CSC has something to do with the region and cellular network.
Thanks
Stas
CSC = country specific code ties phone to network and country .
There is no detailed explanation CSC contains a number of files as above text/XML
Versions listed on www.samfirmware.com might also be listed here with a search .
XEUKD1 = Europe
CPWKD1 = Carphone warehouse
ITVKE5 = Italy
. How do I find out what the difference is and what those letters/digits at the end mean to determine which CSC version suits me best?
samfirmware have the list
O2 you use the O2 CSC thaqt came with the phone or XEU .
jje
thanks mate. Another quick question... Do you know how to check the existing CSC version? *#1234# works well for me on KDD while it does not work on my friend's device. He's on KE1.
noobie alarm ,
what is the multi csc for ? when i change mine to another csc via *#272#....... Kies tells me that my firmware version can't be updated, why is that?
i would be grateful for ur answer ;-)

[Q] Rooting a French SGS II and keeping SFR apps

Hi,
I have an SFR version of the SGS II, I would like to
Root my device
Unlock it
Upgrade to a faster better ROM with Hebrew support.
I am new to SGS and I want to understand a few issues. I understand that Samsung releases ROM's for different areas in the world and that they are described in a coded manner in the ROM version. what i don't understand is
(Q.1) Will any version of the ROM work on any version of SGS II ? (might be a stupid question, but i want to make sure)
I understand that burning a different ROM version on my device might void the warranty, so I need to keep a backup of the original version.
(Q.2) where do I find the CSC of the my SFR ROM ?
(Q.3) I want to keep the ability to connect to all SFR Wifi hotspots for FREE it is done from an app installed on the device probably by the CSC, Do i need to backup the SFR apps i want from the original ROM and reinstall them on the new ROM, or could I simply find the SFR CSC, and install it once i'm done upgrading, rooting and unlocking my device ?
Can someone recommend me a good ROM version along with modem version ?
that supports Hebrew characters (right to left languages) ?
This are the details of my device,
PDA::KE4
PHONE: KE1
CSC: KE4 (SFR)
Any help would be much, much appreciated like i said i am new to this device.
Thanks, in advance.

Yes as long as modem bandwidth is the same in county of use eg USA

yes but dont go burning roms .
(Q.2) where do I find the CSC of the my SFR ROM ?
dial *#1234#

Hi mate, since I have a SFR SGS2 too, I think I can help you
Q1 : Yes, you might want to go to Intratech's topic in the Dev section to search the ROM you want. You can also try various custom ROMs from the same section
Q2 : here
Q3 : You can simply redownload SFR apps from the market

Hi again and thank you for your answers, I have some complementary questions
1. in the ROM official forum intratech is posting KE4 rom and stock rom whats is the difference between them ?
2. Does the ROM include the Firmware + modem + CSC.
3. how do i extract the CSC and burn it, after i burn a new firmware +modem ?
4. from the list of ROMs I can burn you suggested (in the DEV forum) which one is more suitable for SFR and how do i determine that the modem version is suitable ?
5. i read somewhere in the forum that changing the firmware and rooting looses the APN - the settings for Internet and specific operator configuration. so my question would be in case i can not burn or apply the CSC of SFR after i change my firmware how do i back up this information in order to make sure that the phone doesn't loose functionality's later ?
6. I don't understand what *#1234# does ?
Thanks and sorry for all the questions, like i said i am new to this
Hey guys I recently bought an SGS II SFR (Forfait blocké), can I root it and install custom ROM on it, or I should Unlock it first?
And what ROM do you use?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Firmware upgrade and debranding but keeping the Croatian language ?

Hi guys, i'm reading the forum for days but still didn't find few answers that i need.
OK, first some input data, i have a Croatian T-mobile branded phone and i have rooted it the next day i got it with Odin and S2 Root method and put original stock kernel back (to avoid yellow triangle).
(By the way,when i check *#7465625# it says that phone is not locked but i have tried the unlock aplication for finding the unlock code and application did find it but it doesn't work when i put another sim card and try to unlock it)
After two weeks i upgraded it over kies to newer version and rooted it again.
Now i have the following situation:
Android Version 2.3.3
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100BOKG2-CL255512
r[email protected]#2
Baseband: BOKG1
PDA: I9100BOKG2
PHONE: I9100BOKG1
CSC: I9100CROKF1
My question are:
1 - Can i debrand and unlock the phone with some firmware or some way but at the same time keep Croatian language in menus, swype, ... etc.
2 - If i upgrade to XXKG6 or XXKG3 firmware will i lose Croatian language ?
Overall what i want is debranded, unlocked phone with latest gingerbrad 2.3.4 but with Croatian language in menus, keyboard letters, swype... etc like i have now.
Is it possible and how ?
Thanks in advance !

You require a rom with Croatian CSC or a stock rom and separate CSC
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

OK, so for example i can take stock firmware XXKG6
and after just flash multi CSC containing Croatian language ?
I presume that inside the stock firmware is also KG6 modem update ?
Thx
Yes thats included .
jje
Any idea where can i find latest multi CSC containing Croatian or just Croatian CSC ?
Or maybe is there a way to extract current one from the phone and use it ?
You need rooted phone plus an app like file explorer or super manager .
Go to system copy off CSC folder CSC files text CSC version text and SW configuration xml .
After upgrade delete the same files as above and just paste the saved files back into system .
You might find a CSC here or even multi CSC.
Stock Roms .and csc

I saved them for later if i decite to do it that way.
I have downloaded I9100XXKG6 pack from samfirmware and it containes 5 files:
CODE_I9100XXKG6_CL425236_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKG6.tar.md5
KERNEL_I9100XXKG6_CL425236_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
MODEM_I9100XXKG6_REV_02_CL1044543.tar.md5
u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit
So the first file is firmware, second is CSC languages wich doesnt have croatian (i think OXXKG6 contains croatian but i cant find it anywhere), thirdf is kernel and the fourth is modem, i have no idea what is fifth file.
So, (correct me please if i'm wrong) i was thinking to do it like this
- first - flash XXKG6 firmware, and XXKG6 modem
- second - flash unsecure version of XXKG6 kernel
- third - root the phone
- third - flash original XXKG6 kernel to avoid yellow triangle.
The main question is will my current CSC (CROKF1) work with this written above ?

CSC AUT (switzerland) please help

Hi all,
Sorry for my bad English but I will try to communicate.
I bought a samsung S3 naked in Switzerland.
I flashed a custom rom and then install.
I wanted to return to the original rom that is on the site Samefrimwares
The problem is that on your website, in the CSC section, I did not find the CSC "AUT" of the Swiss rom. I remain blocked on "KOR".
Does anyone by chance have the CSC "AUT" I could flash ? Or should I wait it out?
Thank you in advance for your reply.
nstructions For Changing CSC:
Download Samsung Galaxy S / S2 CSC app from the Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tYW5uaWFray5jc2NzZWxlY3RvciJd
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)
OK, I do a mistake when I fash fresh stock rom. Forget to full wipe before new Flash.
Hello,
I have the same issues. I try to have my s3 stock.
What I do for that is Flash via odin single file official firmware and csc stay OTA
I also try to install omega firmware and no luck AUT is not inside
Now I try to get AUT file to Flash in cwm recovery
Or somebody can give me official Switzerland firmware in 3 parts?
The firmware and csc I try to have is :
GT-I9300 Galaxy S III
PDA: I9300XXEMG4
CSC: I9300AUTEMG2
MODEM: I9300XXEMG4

[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
