Hi,
i installed the latest jellybean official firmware.
i don't have EFS backup, and i got the "unknown" problem under the csc.
i can't change it by any way.
someone have a link to a jellybean csc for galaxy i9100?
* I will flash a new firmware that will be compatible with it.
~~~~~~~~~~ i found this thread (but no updated csc for i9100 though...) ~~~~~~
1. flash the Stock ROM one version older than the Stock ROM you want to install
2. check if csc is unkown (dialer -> *#1234#)
3. take some old csc file online* (one fitting best to your rom date)
4. go to download-mode (vol-down+home+power-on)
5. flash only the csc file via odin
6. reboot and check if csc changed (dialer -> *#1234#)
7. go to download-mode and flash the stock rom you wanted in the first place
8. reboot and check if csc has changed
9. enjoy your genuine Samsung Galaxy S III

I got my phone with I9300XXALE8_I9300OXAALE8. Downloaded the latest version I9300XXALF2_I9300OXAALF2 from sammobile. It is coming with a single file PDA and flashed via odin without pit. But after flashing CSC is unknown. So tried to change the CSC *#272#IMEI# but the list is empty. So decided to flash back to I9300XXALE8_I9300OXAALE8 and I got the CSC back. Again tried to flash the latest one and the result is same CSC unknown. So back to I9300XXALE8_I9300OXAALE8, but this time I didnt get the CSC on this version, same like new version unknown.
Finally flashed I9300XXALF2_I9300OXAALF2 and I got CSC on this time. I dont have any idea why this misbehavior is happening while flashing. Any suggestions?
Quick look..
1. Flash I9300XXALF2_I9300OXAALF2 - Result-unknown CSC
2. Flash I9300XXALE8_I9300OXAALE8 - Result-CSC is there
3. Flash I9300XXALF2_I9300OXAALF2 - Result-unknown CSC
4. Flash I9300XXALE8_I9300OXAALE8 - Result-unknown CSC
5. Flash I9300XXALF2_I9300OXAALF2 - Result-CSC is there
Regards...
Any luck resolving that issue?
Sometimes you will have to unroot your Galaxy S3 and like it happend to me and a lot of others, there are often problems with the CSC and Messages App.
If you google for "s3 csc unkown" your will get a lot of threads, without a real answer. So I've tried myself a few ways and figured out how to fix this problem really easy.
You want to unroot your phone and flash the Stock ROM it arrived with? There are 2 ways to handle this:
a) Way 1 - the easy way
1. you flash the stock rom as 1-file via odin
2. check if csc is unkown (dialer -> *#1234#)
3. find the missing csc as file online*
4. go to download-mode (vol-down+home+power-on)
5. flash only the csc file via odin
6. reboot and enjoy
Because most of the Stock ROMs are 1-file you will not find the fitting CSC as single-file, so you have to go Way 2:
b) Way 2 - the way working for everyone
1. flash the Stock ROM one version older than the Stock ROM you want to install
2. check if csc is unkown (dialer -> *#1234#)
3. take some old csc file online* (one fitting best to your rom date)
4. go to download-mode (vol-down+home+power-on)
5. flash only the csc file via odin
6. reboot and check if csc changed (dialer -> *#1234#)
7. go to download-mode and flash the stock rom you wanted in the first place
8. reboot and check if csc has changed
9. enjoy your genuine Samsung Galaxy S III
* You can find some CSC files here: https://androidfirmwares.net/PhoneCSC3
Search the one fitting best to your ROM. You can check the CSC Code for your rom (settings -> about phone)
More information how to flash csc, radio, roms you can find in this grat thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
I hope that will help others saving hours to unroot their phones.

usually they should be in the ROM file (md5.tar) that you can download from sammobile.
At least when I flashed the latest ROM for my region via MobileOdin it showed all those components.

usually it will be flashed automatically, ==>> guide
Dont flash it that way unless you want to have a very fancy door stopper..flash the full md5.tar file as PDA..
Never ever touch PIT and repartition..
Usually you don't need to flash multiple file firmware. You should flash it if you want to fully wipe your phone's system and data partitions from previous Rom junks (like branding). You also don't need separate bootloader because it's usually in .pda with Rom (primary and secondary bootloader files) and are flashed automatically.
U must be also absolutely sure what you are doing if you want to repartition with .pit file information. If there are no problems with your partition layout it's better to not touch this option because in case of some failure while flashing you could brick your shiny new phone.
There is not many 3 files firmware in net but you can find it if you do some search. It's also important to find one which corresponding with your region to have correct CSC settings.
Here you go 3 file firmware for XEO region:

Remember - do not use repartition with one file firmware. If you must perform repartition use 3 file firmware with correct .pit file (usually newest mx.pit). But even with 3 file firmware you don't need to check repartition option.

unless the zip package of the frimware has those files separately you have to flash only the single tar file. it has all the files integrated. the only change is its automatically flashed we dont need to select it manually

Hello,
I bought a Galaxy S3 i9300 and apparently the store I bought it from installed its own rom in order to add my language to the phone.
(Also, when I enter recovery mode, CWM recovery shows up, that mean's it's not stock, right?)
Now, the problem is , I can't update the Galaxy S3 i9300 from ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1.2.
When I try to update via Wi-Fi, it tells me that there is an update, it downloads the file, but after reboot it says that the firmware update is failed.
When I try to update through Kies, I don't see any update option.
Is there a way to bring the phone to stock condition? or maybe other way to update to JB ?
Thanks
read the basics, search, and flash a stock ROM from sammobile
your phone is modified..so ota updates will not install...best you can do is...go to sammobile.com -> firmwares -> firmwares and files -> select the phone type -> OS -> model the ur country and click send...list of firmwares available for your country will show up..then download the appropriate one and install...you need a sammobile account to see the download link
Hit thanks if it helped..:good:
If you really want to update to JB
Go to sammobile.com, download a JB ROM, put phone to download mode, use odin to flash

Hello,
had stock XEO ROM. Decided to switch to BTU. Took latest release (XXEMB1) from Sammobile and flashed it via Odin. Now even *#1234# shows its XXEMB1, my CSC is actually unknown and Kies does not support it (shows its KOR). How do i fix that and make my CSC be BTU? Thank You.

If you flashed via Odin then it's normal and dont expect kies support.If you back to stock firmware and wait via OTA or Kies then you can see your csc and kies support.

Thats strange. So the only way is to untar FW, extract cashe.img, find BTU in CSC directory, copy its content into main CSC directory to overwrite KOR content. Make img file again, tar it and try to flash?
first of all CSC unknown is not a big issue, you can use the phone normally.
second, for most people (incl. me) reflashing the rom will give you back the CSC (if nothing was changed with the newer firmwares).
to change the CSC, try CSC changer from market or search for a flashable zip here on xda
So, to sum up: extracting CSC and pasting BTU content over default content in CSC dir did not help - flashed only modified CSC.tar.md5 and still, Kies shows KOR and not supported. Decided to flash back to initial stock SEB FW. Did that and still no success - my CSC is KOR in Kies. Seems like once you flashed via Odin, you are forever lost...
