I just recently flashed my phone with a Samsung Official release of Jelly Beam 4.1.2 for Samsung Galaxy Beam GT-I8530.
My Journey to this point
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535462
After a successful installation the first thing that stood out was that my phone was in German. The steps that I followed did not state that the firmware was released in Poland; but this is what further research revealed to me.
Now I find myself asking:
How important is CSC?
How will CSC affect me, who I live in the United States?
[my google accounts associated to the United States]
I changed the default CSC setting, which was Germany, to one related to UK but not associated to any carrier. The reason was to hopefully change the phone English. Once that was done I went on to the language & input settings and changed my language to English United States.
My phone is now in English. I have been able to download and use my apps. The one thing that didn't got as expected was my contacts. To my understanding, android syncs/backs up my contacts to my gmail account. Well, none of my contacts were sync/restore to my phone. [GRR]
All the official Jelly Beam released I've found for Samsum Galaxy Beam GT-I8530 are the same. One is a test built and the other Official. Both released in Europa. Installing Jelly Beam included 3 files, .pit, CSC & CODE [PDA] I wonder if there is CSC file for this side of the world.
With that said, these released are called official yet none of them are found nor hosted on the Samsung website. ... I don't get it.
Thanks
anybody?
Does anybody care to help?

I realized That Code for UK versions of GSII is GT-I9100LKAXEU and In Sweden it is GT-I9100LKANEE. Does anyone knows if this is only a firmware difference or something more Serious( Like NFC ! )
Aside from it being country code, I don't know what else they could have classified.
United Kingdom - (LK) (A) XEU
Sweden - (LK) (A) NEE
Perhaps NFC might be one, but what else? Toss in your ideas guys.

The last 3 letters are the Carrier Specific Code (csc) which holds information like vpn setting and other identifiers for the likes of the android market. That doesn't mean the phones won't be different though.
Probably it is like old SGS. Product Code (XEU, KOR, NEE etc) practically just describes the programs you can download from the Samsung Apps. The product code can be easily changed with custom roms and reverted back by flashing original Samsung firmware. At the moment the product code in my SGS is KOR and my original code is XEE.
Hey guys
Im new to the galaxy s3 and samsung, I recently got my GS3 from newegg, unlocked international version.... I was wondering how to know which region the phone was from? I tried googling but i cant seem to find the answer. I came from an SE Arc S, SE had SI numbers so I could tell, but what does samsung use?
Also, there is no update for the latest LFB firmware yet... Does Samsung rollout firmwares for different regions in stages like SE? I'd like to keep everything stock..
When I press *#1234#, I get the following:
ap: i9300ubalf3
cp: i9300ublf2
csc: i9300uubalf3
Thanks
My understanding is that yours is Trinidad and Tobago.
Search for i9300uubalf3 on google and hit the sammobile result.
I think you can follow @SGS3Update on twitter to see if yours got the update, though I'm not sure how reliable this it. Technically, Kies should offer the update as soon as Samsung makes it avail.
What I still don't quite get is the role of CSC. More importantly, can we flash it independently of the firmware? And if so, which CSC canadian and US users should be flashing?

CSC can be flashed as a separate item .

Says
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.
CSC not required for phone to work .

Thanks,
Since there is no CSC for Canada or USA, I take it that there is no point in changing it (except for maybe getting faster official updates?)
As far as MMS and Data, in Canada and USA, we'll need modify APN separately since there is no CSC?

Hi, I also have the same CSC as the original poster, Located in Trinidad. Do you know which csc receives the updates as they are released? I want to flash mine to whatever it is.
I had the same *#1234# as OP. I flashed every modem found on the thread here and signal quality results weren't any better. Checked for updates and got nothing. I noticed that most talk about XXBLFB (UTB) UK, so I chose to flash that firmware. Just to be in the same playing field. I am using my phone in the Miami, FL USA area.

Flashed the UK latest firmware, UK CSC and it works fine with Rogers here. The rogers APNs are automatically in the APN list, I guess they get that from the sim?
I got tired of waiting for the UK to get Jelly Bean so I used Odin to flash the Polish unbranded Jelly Bean ROM to my Galaxy S3, and it's working fine. My only question is about the CSC. My CSC now shows as I9300OXFDLI1. This is presumably not a UK CSC. Will this affect my device in any way for future updates or any other way? The only possible thing I can think of is if I needed to bring it back to the Carphone Warehouse they may check the CSC and refuse me warranty service (although my custom binary count is 0). I have the Galaxy CSC changer but I can't remember what my original CSC was (unbranded UK Carphone Warehouse Galaxy S3) and there doesn't seem to be an appropriate one to change it to on the list.
Like I say, I can't think of a reason to need to change it at the moment, but it would be nice to know what it means for my phone, and if anyone incidentally knows the original CSC for my phone that would be brilliant.
Thanks very much for replying!

Hi there
You can always look on sammobile.com. It will be something like: I9300OXAALE8 I guess. From there you can download your original ROM and flash it to your phone if you need to return it too.
Need Stock ROM forSGS III of Bouygues Telecom France
Few months ago I bought an SGS III GT-i9300 with CSC of CHU running stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM (bouygues telecom). The phone was originally bought in France, and later on when I came back to my home country ie Pakistan, I got it unlocked so it could work on local carriers. The long of the short of the story is, last sunday I decided to update my SGS III to the leaked polish JB ROM I9300XXDLIB_I9300OXFDLI1_I9300XXDLIB_XEO. This resulted in loss of connectivity with my GSM network. Sadly, I made the cardinal mistake of not backing up the original ROM, in case I needed to go back. So now I am kind of stuck with a phone which at best is just like a small tablet ....
Can anyone please help me locate Stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM for the above CSC region? As so far I haven't been able to do that despite hours and hours of trying.
Also, can I install Stock ICS ROM for CSC PAK/WDC on it? If so, how can it be unlocked & made to work with it?
I hope that someone can help me in resolving this issue. Thank you.

Thanks alot JJE. Didn't knew about this checkfus tool, but it sure is one very handy util. I will let you know of the progress asap.
Regards.
Okay, I used CheckFus to locate the ROM, downloaded it, wiped/reset S3 before going ahead and installing the ROM. But unfortunately it didn't help. By the way CheckFus in Product Code field says 'Not Active'.
I was wondering whether I should get unlock code, will it help solve the issue?
In continuation of my previous post, here is an image from Galaxy S3 Sim Unlock.

That "Not Active" against the product code is probably the cause. Any help will be hugely appreciated. regards
Are there any risks associated with this like tripping knox?
Tablet is working fine just curious.
Thanks for reading
>>>Edit it should read SM-T865N in title. Could a MOD Please change it? If possible <<<
As far as I know, this does not trip knox.
I can confirm it does not trip Knox.
I flashed the latest available UK firmware listed on Sammobile.com
The rom was PDA T865XXU1ASH6, however it is a German rom. Or at least that is the first language coming up on a reboot and also the language used by the Samsung members app. Previously both were South Korean.
i took a chance i figured it out
i did removed all my accounts from the tablet (and remove Samsung account !!). did a factory reset.
my device was purchased in korea, making it the SM-T865N version
factory unlocked
came stock with this:
checked by calling *#1234#
AP: T865NKOU2ASL3
CP: T865NKOU2ASL3
CSC: T865NKOO2ASL3
i downloaded this firmware file:
T865XXU2ASL3_T865OLM2ASL3_XSA.zip
from:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-s6-lte/firmware/#SM-T865
this is the United Kingdom firmware
i extracted it using 7zip.
put my tablet in download mode,
started ODIN, and loaded 4 files from the extracted firmware:
AP_T865XXU2ASL3_CL17437689_QB27772178_REV00_user_l ow_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_OS9.tar.md5
BL_T865XXU2ASL3_CL17437689_QB27772178_REV00_user_l ow_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CP_T865XXU2ASL3_CP14585667_CL17437689_QB27772178_R EV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CSC_OMC_OXM_T865OXM2ASL3_CL17437689_QB27772178_REV 00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
*****
i did not use:
HOME_CSC_OMC_OXM_T865OXM2ASL3_CL17437689_QB2777217 8_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
wanted to do a full wipe of all my settings and apps
i did not check any settings in ODIN.
Clicked Start, all went ok !!
its now an SM-T865
the weather app works, the downloads are faster, it has not dropped the wifi. cellular works as it should.
the only noticeable difference is with the phone app. there is no record the call button.
it also fixed the not connecting to the cell network unless it was in 3G only ... now works in lte/4G automatically
if i have any problems with it i will post again describing them. hopefully i never do
i will try
but down speed is bad
so
