Hi All,
I am reluctantly posting here (in fear of replies of"You should look in the threads/google/etc).
However, I have done the above and still cannot find an answer.(
The question is: S3, previosuly on BTU 4.1.2 firmware, and prior to that stock O2.
Now on MJ9 4.3.
I am struggling to change the CSC to BTU, as no matter what I do or try (CSC Changer/CWM Zips etc), it always reverts back to KOR .
Has anyone else come across this?
I am happy to do a "warp" firmware jump (4.1- lose network and then go through to 4.1.2 then 4.3), but having tried this from O2 4.1.2 to MG4 4.1.2, it still remains the same when I flash 4.3 BTU using Odin.
Am I missing something so completely obvious? (The *#272imei thing always gives the message "Running USSD" blah, and then nothing).
Many thanks for your sympathetic replies
Matt

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

the only real problem could potentially be fast dormancy support, from what I am aware, but I'm on it in UK and no problems here, so good to go really, I just left the csc as it is

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,
My bro got a 2nd hand S3 from CEX in UK, when we connect it to Kies it says...
'Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies'
The current version is PDA:LI5 / PHONE:LI5 / CSC:LI5 (BTU)
It is supposed to be on O2,( has O2 stickers and box ) but I think it has been flashed with a generic firmware. Is this why Kies gives the above message? Don't think it's rooted, device status says normal.
Can I simply flash the 4.1.2 O2 firmware from SamMobile using Odin? If so do I need to do the PDA, PHONE & CSC, the guide on SamMobile also says to Re-Partition is the necessary? I am sure when I did my own S3 I just did the PDA part.
Will this wipe everything?
Regards,.
Les
Well I went ahead and flashed it using Odin, but still Kies doesn't like it. It now has the O2 4.1.2 firmware, with the O2 bubble screen on boot.
Kies says version = PDA:LL4/PHONE:LK1/CSC:LL1 (BTU)
Thought it was something to do with the CSC, I tried the Samsung Galaxy S / S2 / S3 CSC app but get and error 'preconfig does not support singleCSC'
Anyone have any ideas?

Les

After flashing via Odin factory reset it. I had that problem too with kies. I flash jellybean firmware but kies would not recognize it. Factory resetting fix my kies problem. HTH.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Right well the problem kies is having is that the phone looked like it had the latest LL5 version at the start ( LL5 is the European Vodafone version) but the phones CSC is set to generic unlocked UK model(Btu). Even after your o2 flash the csc is still set to btu. So because the csc isn't matching the firmware, kies won't allow the firmware upgrade.
Either look to change the csc to o2u(UK o2 csc code) or flash the Btu firmware.
Edit: to change csc usually a full factory reset will change it or a 2nd flash of the o2 firmware should help. Even the csc app u mentioned earlier should help but be warned changing csc will wipe the phone using the app.

Thanks for the replies guys.
I can confirm that a factory reset and then a 2nd flash with the o2 firmware has fixed the problem.

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?
Also, questions are better off in the dedicated questions section.

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.

Not 100% sure if above will actually change your CSC as i never use Kies and never use a CSC .
Or ignore KOR
Or root phone .
